Awful Paws.

she was not familiar with the intrl-

Suddenly there came a general lull
in the chatter, and bright youth
turned to his hostess and muttered,
sagaciously: awful pause, eh?'
The hostess, sunhitching herself, as

"Warning message from the khan re-

as the first step in a carefully planned
scheme to allow him to make his exit
from Harvard without scandal. Fellow

Repeatedly. according to the Colorado
student, he was driven from Harvard
classes by whispered warnings. In the
dead Of the night these warnings were
thrust upon him. On the streets. in his
bedroom or at student festivities he
was ever reminded Of the alleged threat
Of the khan that he must leave Harvard
without delay.
Harvard Starts Inquiry.
Harvard authorities, aroused by
the publicity. placed investigators
upon the case. Still the "outrages"
continued. and finally Clay. a physi-
cal and mental wreck, disappeared
from the university Indignant citi-
zens and organizations clamored for
immediate action. Gov. Cox. Attor-
ney General Allen and other state
officials were overwhelmed with in
fluential demands for the driving Of
the khan from Massachusetts,.
While the agitation was at its
height. state officials gathered in a
hurried conference and federal agents
from the Department Of Justice ar
rived from Washington. At this time
Clay was in Washington attempting
to gain an audience with President
Harding with prepared plea for
protection against the khan.

Then followed an exposure by off,

amounts as small as $l.75. Several
women of high social standing. whose

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you
think woman ought to stay with
a man who will drive her children
from home? My husband packed
the clothes of my 12-year-old girl
and made her take them and go and
she hasn't any father and no people
to go to. His excuse was she did
not do enough work, but that was
not it; he just doesn't want her and
smaller child of mine to eat any
thing. He never has spoken a good
word to either of them since we
have been married, but before we
were married he was very kind to
them. My heart has been broken
and my health ruined over seeing
my children mistreated.
Don't you think God would help
me Il l should take my children and
try to make a home for them?
believe there would be some way
would get better and l could work.
My husbands mother told him he
ought not to have to keep my chill
dren, but he knew l had them be-
fore we were married, and it is a
sure thing l never promised to give
them up. l would not have married
man who would ask me to give
them up and now l don't feel like
living with him and give my chill
dren up. WORRIED MOTHER.
Our man-made laws only too Oft
en- fail to protect a mother in your
position. l believe, however, that
if you complained about your hus-
band to the probate court he would
be made to understand that your
children are not to be sent away.
He married you knowing that you

New York, March 17-Peacocks
and elephants figure prominently
in spring costume accessories. The
peacock comb is one tall loop of
enamel and glittering stones, thrust
at perky angie into the right side
of the couture. Elephants have ap-
peared-of all places on the tops
of little vanity cases. Perhaps be-
cause the elephant is such a horri-
BILE example of something that never

coats are such a lovely convenience
weren't adopted long before this.
Breakfast is the least of the occas-
ions on which they may be worn,
for so all-covering are they and so
trinity pretty that they serve the
purpose of a negligee almost suit
ed to garden wear. Crisp taffeta
which lends itself so well to tiny
flounces, is a favored material.
Made of taffeta, the breakfast coat
is pretty enough and Opaque enough
to be used as a house gown.

scarfs, colored like the rainbow,
make the days even SUMMER down

seen without its jaunty scarf in a
contrasting color or combination of
colors. With a beige sports cos
tune nothing is more attractive
than a fringed scarf in Roman
stripes, with blue or cherry or jade
predominating One type which has
surrendered Internationally to all
the pastel tints of the season is the
Persian, combining smooth greens,
blues, yellowS, reds, and lavenderS
in its curious and intricate pat
