bee was familiar with every dress in
town. She knew 1t made over, and no
woman was cunning enough to conceal
the truth even with a spangled yoke,
q chiffon bertha, or a net overdress
yet Miss Larrabee would describe the
gown, not merely twice, but half a
dozen times, SO that the woman wear
ing 1t might send the description to
her relatives back East without arous-
ing their suspicion that she was wear
ing the same dress year after year.
Therefore, whenever Miss Larrabee
wrote up the dresses worn at party,
we were sure to sell from fifty to a
hundred extra papers. She could so turn
a breastpin and a homemade point
lace handkerchief tucked In the front
Of good old lady's best black satin
into "point-lace and diamonds" that
they were always good for dozen
copies Of the paper, and she never
overlooked the dress of the wife Of
good advertiser, no matter how plain
it might be.
She was worth her wages to the
Office merely as a compendium of
shams. She knew whether the bridal
couple, who announced that they would
spend their honeymoon in the East,
were really going to Niagara Falls, or
whether they were going to spend a
week with his relatives in Decatur,
Ill. She knew every woman in town
who bought two prizes for her whist
party-One to give If her friend should
win the prize, and another to give IL
the woman she hated should win.
With the diabolical eye of a fiend she
detected the woman who was wearing
the dry-cleaned cast-off clothing of her
sister in the city. What she saw the
office knew, though she kept her con-
illusions out of the paper If they
would do any harm or hurt anyOne's
feelings. No pretender ever dreamed
that she was not fooling Miss LARA
bee. She was willing to agree most
sympathetically with Mrs. Conklin who
insisted that the common people"
wouldn't be interested in the list of
names at her party; and the only place
where we ever saw Miss Larrabee's
claw in print was in the insistent mis-
spelling of the name of woman who
had made 1t point to ridicule the
paper.

He looked at her with astonish-

Robert Winston laid his brushes and

ing her piano speak of haunted things,

was softened, but 1t came to him with
something of the charm of music that
drifts across moonlit waters.
Finally, he shook himself from the
spell, drew out small electric heater,
and swiftly prepared an attractive
lunch. Then he calmly marched up
stairs and knocked on her studio door.
He was a bit afraid Of her, for she
had seemed to him very naughty lit

they do not seem to get the work done
with any system. She was not only
Industrious but practical. Friday
mornings, when her work piled up, in
stead of fussing around the Office and
chattering at the telephone, she would
dive into her desk and bring up her
regular list of adjectives. These she
would copy on three slips, carefully
dividing the list so that no one had a
duplicate, and in the afternoon each of
the boys received slip with list of
parties, and with instructions to scat
ter the adjectives she had given him

too many Of the women wore white
stockings and low shoes, read their
own unpublished short stories, and re-
garded her wide-shouldered shirtwaist
and melodramatic openwork hosiery
with suspicion and alarm.
As the years passed, and wedding
after wedding sizzled under her pen,
she complained to us that she was be-
ginning to be called "auntie" In too
many houses, and that the stock of
available young men who didn't wear
their handkerchiefs under their col
lars at the dances had dwindled down
to three. This reality faces every girl
who lives In country town. Then she
is left with two alternatives: to 60
visiting or to begin bringing them up
by hand.
Miss Larrabee went visiting. At the
end of month she wrote: tits all

sive ring ceremony" When she wrote:
| ''The distinguished company came
forward to offer congratulations to the
newly-wedded pair" she would say
as she sharpened her pencil-point:
There's nothing like a wedding to
reveal what raft of common kin peo-
pie have" and we knew that 1t was
all over and that she was closing the
article with: "A dazzling array Of
costly and beautiful presents was ex-
hibited in the library" for then she
would pick up her copy, dog-ear the
sheets, and jab them on the hook as
she sighed: Another great American
pickle-dish exhibit ended"
In the way she did two things Miss
Larrabee excited the wonder and ad-
miration of the Office. One was the
way that she kept tab on brides.
We heard through her Of the brides
who could cook, and Of those who were
beginning life by accommodating a
bright little pile of tin cans in the
alley. She knew the brides who could
do their own sewing and those who
could not. She had the single girls
sniff at the bride who wore her trous-
seau season after season, made over
and fixed up, and she gave the office
the benefit of her opinion of the hus-
band in the case who had new tailor
made suit every fall and spring. She
scented young married troubles from
affair." and we knew in the Office wheth-
er his folks were edging upon her, or
her people were edging upon him. If
a young married man danced more
than twice In one evening with anyone
but his wife, Miss Larrabee made faces
at his back when he passed the Office
window, and If she caught young
married woman flirting, Miss Larrabee
RECALLED us by telling with whom the
woman In question had opened

The other way In which Miss LARA

in describing women's costumes. Three

impressions, as the result of his trip
These he catalogued as first, dis
tinct improvement in the deliberations
and personnel; second, one type of
American citizen found in each state,
and third, general enthusiasm toward
educational work and community serv-
Ice, which, of course, includes the prop
er care of disabled veterans.
"The crowds looked the same" he
said. "The men acted the same. There
is distinct type, these Legionnaires.
They look one in the eye. They are
keen and outspoken, self-confident.
They constitute the ideal type Of an
American citizen"
In speaking of the improvement in
delegations to the state conventions,
care was taken to explain that sub
jects were more clearly defined than
in the past, the committees stepped
forward with their work in more con-
fidence, the machinery ran smoother,
and altogether capable leadership was
asserting itself, more and more.
An illustration was given:
"In two states fractional fights had
been waged," the national adjutant
said. "They threatened to split the
departments, but those fights never got
to the floor of the convention The
trouble was ironed out in conferences.
Leaders made concessions, all for the
general welfare and progress Of the
legion.
1.-THE spirit of the elections was mot
the best fellow, but the best man.
and this keynote was struck in each
Of the five conventions"
"There is no question but what the
Legion is more efficient today In Min
nesota, Washington, California, Col
orado and Kansas than 1t was year
ago." he said.
Paying a tribute to the Kansas de-
partment, he told of the American
Legion there taking a keen interest In
the boys Of the state industrial school,
acting as guardians and big brothers.
81 was impressed by the indepen-
dence Of the Minnesota Legion" he
said. "They never have taken dol
lar from any source. Their depart
ment is splendidly organized. They
are capable of making their own way
without outside aid, and they are do
ing it with VIM"
Soldier settlement work Is a vital
for the legion in the states
Of Washington and California, along
with better citizenship and education
al movements, such as night schools.
The American Legion there Is advocat
ing and pushing through state recla-
nation projects and seeing that for
mer service men are given preference
not only in the work being done, but
In the results. In California, soldier
colonies are being established.
The determination of the Colorado
legion to see that the hospitals for
former service men in that country are
maintained was outstanding,
also the Legion's declaration that the
benefits Of that department be confined
TO American Legion members only |
and to the disabled, always. Along |
with this the point was made plain |
hat the Colorado Legion department
,lso Is the best friend Of the efficient
hospitals.
