Molly recognized Wilton. She crept
toward the break, and lay down on the

crept forward until the upper part Of
her body extended across the break.
She placed her hands beneath Wuton's
shoulders and tried to lift him.
II was a task beyond her powers.
As she strained to It. suddenly the Ice
broke all about her. and in a moment
she was floundering beside Wilton in
the water.
AT Gals place the underbed of the
portage was Of peat mixed with sand,
covered with water rather than slime.
Molly's feet touched bottom. The wa

quick resource she managed to draw

thus freeing him from the clutch Of

WILL REDUCE WHITE
HOUSE ENTERTAINING
BY HAsRY>e. HUNT

WASHINGTON, Sept, 14.-Radi.
cal curtailment Of White House en-
PERTAINING during the remainder of
The Harding administration is GER
tain, whatever the outcome Of Mrs,
Harding's present illness.
For 1t is the strain OF these so
clal functions, particularly of the
big formal receptions. watch are
largely responsiule for nus. Hard.
ing's breakdown.
Long hours of standing in re-
ceivins lines, without a moment for
relaxation or relief, aggravated the
old kidney disorder from which the
First Lady had suffered a decade
ago, and set afoot the complications
that eliminated in her collapse.
On dozen occasions Mrs. Hard.
ing has stood in receiving lines at
the White House for periods OF
from two TO four hours without a
minutes relief.
During her first summer at the
White House, Mrs. Harding was
hostess at four immense garden
parties on the White House lawn,
attended by thousands, at which
she greeted each visitor personal
ly.
Formal entertaining, banned dur.
ing the latter years Of the Wilson
administration, was renewed by
President and Mrs. Harding last
winter. In addition to long list
OF formal state dinners, there were
the big diplomatic. congressional
and army and navy receptions. each
of which kept Mrs. Harding fol-
more than two hours In the receiY'
ing line.
The public New Year reception
when open house was held for ali
friends and well.wishers, kept Mrs
Harding on her. feet for the entire
Afternoon as the line passed
through the big East Room.
The hours on a receiving line
which Mrs. Harding cheerfully &C
cepted as part Of her responsibility
as mistress Of the White House,

TAXING
no LONGER SKIRT

CHARLESTON. Sept. ~.
Charleston tiapperdom Is coming
down with q serious attack Of long
skirt. \.
Sporadic outbreaks Of the NAL
ady have been observed at teas
and dinners throughout the sum
mer but at dances during the last
week the epidemic has ragged with
special yigor.
And the more extreme the Zap
per the longer the skirt seems 10
be the rule. Those who are sAll
wearing the brief, fringed sport
skirts Of the last season seem to
make apology for their out-ot.date
apparel and speak Of gowns In
eourse'o of planning or construction
which are to be longer of skirt and
shorter Of sleeve than those which
their sisters are sporting.
Dame Fashion has done with
one wave Of her hand what all
the preachers, teachers, store
managers, club women, blue law
mayors and all other varieties OF
reformers could not accomplish
with volumes of speech, reams Of
paper and gallons Of ink.
The chief objection to the
change comes from the masculine
element in the population. The
candy-ankle likes his flapper play
mate "as she were" Youths who
escape the candy-ankle title,
slightly older men and much older
men join in decrying the new fash
ion.

Fred held her close. "You said

But only a slight affirmative
movement Of the head pressed
against his coat told him the
