Lulu herself was the participant, not
the onlooker. The perfection of her
dream was not impaired by any long
ing. She had her dream as q saint her
sense Of heaven.
"Lulie!" her mother called. "You
come out of that damp"
She obeyed, as she had obeyed that
voice all her life. But she took one
last look down the dim street. She
had not known 1t, but superimposed
on her Chautauqua thoughts had been
her faint hope that 1t would be to-

alone, that Ninian Deacon would ar

her coral beads, her cameo pin. :.
She went into the lighted dining
room. MOnona was in bed. Di was
not there. Mrs. Bett was in Dwight

woman, usual" so erect and tense,
now actually lofling, rs if lolling were
the positive, the vital, and her orGi-

some corresponding orgy of leisure
and liberation, Lulu sat down with no
needle.
"Inie ought to make over her de-

They talked of this, devised Il mode,

with animation. They were individuals

Mrs. Bett and her daughter Lulu now
bore no relationship. They emerged,
had opinions, contradicted, their eyes
were bright.
Toward nine o'clOc!; Mrs. Bett an

She brought in bread and butter and
dish of cold canned peas. She was

May.

Lulu was busting the parlor. The
parlOr was rarely used, but every
morning it was busted. BY Lulu.
She busted the black walnut center
table which was of Ina's choosing, and
looked like Ina, shining, cOmplacent,
abundantly curved. The leather rocker,
too, looked like Ina, brown, plumply
upholstered, tipping back bit. Real
ly,. the davenport looked like Ina, for
It's chintz pattern seemed to bear de-
sign of lifted eyebrows and arch, re-
preachful eyes. .,t..
Lulu busted the upright piano, and
that was like Dwight-in a perpet-
ual attitude Of rearing back, with paws
out, playful, but capable, too. of roar
ing ready bass. ~
And the black fireplace-there was
Mrs. Bett to the life. Colorless, fire.
less, and with a dust Of ashes.
In the midst of all was Lulu herself
reflected in the narrow pier glass,
bodiless-looking in her blue gingham
gown, but somel,ow allve-tnatural. d.
This pier glass Lulu approached
with expectation, not because of her
self but because of the photograph on
its low marble Shelf A large photo
graph on q little shelf-easel. a photo
graph of man With evident eyes, eri-
dent lips, evident cheeks-Nnd each Of
the six were rounded and convex. You
could construct the rest of him, Down
there under the glass YOU could Imagine
him extending, rounded, and convex,
with plump hands and curly thumbs
and snug clothes. It was ~Ninian
Deacon, Dwight's brother.
Every day Since his coming had
been announced Lulu, busting the par
lor, had seen tie photograph looking
at her with its eyes somehow new. Or
were her own eyes new? She busted
this photograph with difference. lift
ed, busted, set it back, less as process
than as an experience. AS she busted
the mirror and saw his trim sem.
blance over against her own bodiless
reflection, she hurried away. But the
eyes of the picture followed her, and
she liked 1t.
She busted the south window sill
and saw Bobby Larliin come round the
house and go to the woOdshcd for the
lawn mower. She heard the smooth
blur OF the cutter Not six times had
Bobby traversed the lawn when Lulu
saw Di emerge from the house. Di
had been caring for her canary and
she carried her bird bath and went TO
the well, and Lulu OWNED that Di had
deliberately diSregarded the handy
Kitchen taps. Lulu busted the south
window and watched. and in her
watching was no quality on spying or
of criticism. Rather, she looked ont
on something in which she had never
shared, could not by any chance i'm

Irreparable Harm-Let the Public
Have Facts and it VIII Do the Rest.
Shortly after the termination Of the
war, the New York editor of a news
paper, which had been consistent
baclkcr of the Wilson administration
throughout the eight years OF that
regime, made a powerful plea in a
public address for the unshackling o.
the press from propaganda, whether
that invisible, propaganda were in the
suppression of facts, the distortion OF
facts, or the deliberate dispersion OF
falsehoods.
And with the fervor of an old-timc
revival meeting all the press of Arieri-
ca uttered a loud amen.
The readers remarked cynicaliy:
Didn't we tell you all news had been
doped for these last years? You can't
believe a word you read nowadays in
The papers"
Within one month, both President
Harding and Secretary Hughes voiced
Hthe popular demand for freedom from
propa Eanda in our thinking. Mr..
Hughes pointed out a graduating
class in university that while sense
of responsibility and reticencc in re-
gard to the national feelings of other
countries must be observed in interna-
tiohal negotiations, a representative
government can function only when
the voters, who elect that government
are in possession of the facts of the
case. He did not, though he might well
add, that the facts' must not be colored
Ey foreign propaganda and the medium
through which they pass to the public
must not be "doped" by political con-
siderations.

the secretary of state, and foremost

And Magazines Are Suffering.
where are the magazines and
famous writer's of yesteryear?" asked
an editor of a famous magazine, who
had come back from war work.
Twenty years ago and down to 10
years ago, the magazines OF the Unit
cd States were in the hcyday Of their
glory. Writer'S names were household
words. Why arc those writers not
writing today? Why have they taken
to the more strenuous and less re-
munerative work Of the lecture plat
form? Where are they?"
"They are-not," answered one OF the
newer editors. You can't get them.
They are not writing any more"
"Nnd yet they arc not dead" insist
cd the former editor. "Why aren't they
writing as they did 10 years ago, and
20 years ago."
