PHILADELPHIA, Feb. IL
The systems of city government
during the Sumerian civilization
in Mesopotamia, five thousand
years ago, probably were not
much different from the present
and better, if anything, declared
DR.. Leon Legrain, curator of the
University of Pennsylvania Mu-
scum, to-day. "Cheating con-
tractors and crooked officials were
tried briefly and thrown into the
river" he added.
An elaborate banking system
with reserve bank, comparable
to our own to-day, a postal sys-
tenn with parcel post branch, and
circulating libraries which dis
tributed books in the form of clay
tablets were features Of that day,
DR.. Legrain declared.

body else, and the whole family had
necessarily accepted Isabelle's atti-

In the social atmosphere. Richard be-

he was proud of his smoothly running
establishment, and proud of the
charming woman who neither flirted
with nor ignored the men he brought
home.
Always beautiful and always busy,
constantly in demand on all sides, she
went about his house like a smiling
worker of miracles, and Richard
watched her When she went home
to her sister for day or two he
missed her strangely, and wandered
about the empty rooms with DESC
late sense Of loss.
She was presently back, and amused
the young people at the dinner table
with spirited account of her sisters

old house." that she and her family
had been watching for years.

from the dinner table to an early

had wandered about with vague
hope of finding Harriet somewhere
with her book. But she was not
