FIVE ASPIRE TO
 LEAD V.F M. POST
 FUR NEXT YEAR

A healthy competition among mem- bers to serve the Veterans of Foreign Wars as commander for 1922 was manifest last night when, on the eve of the annual election, no less than five candidates were iii the field to succeed l. A. Narcotic, retiring chief
 The election of officers will be held at the smoker at the Odd Fellows hall at 7:3O tonight
 Oscar Mckay, N. R. Bozeman, Percy Forgays of Fort Whipple and Joe Smyth and M. J. O'Sullivan in town, are the outstanding candidates for commander. The rivalry is based purely on emulation and the spirit of service to the organization, it is said by leaders.
 New men who have not served be- fore will be pushed to the front, SO that the arduous work can be split up and the chaps who sit back and listen can be caused to do some of the talking.
 Joe Smyth is retiring as senior and William Hendricks as junior vice commander. Harry Juliani is going out as adjutant Norman Urenn as quartermaster, Al C.. Schneider as chaplain and Verne Curry as officer of the day.

and bOyish admiration was a sort of
joke between them. Yet in this Sec
Ond. as ne craned his neck to get a
glimpse of the approaching guests, a
sudden thought was born in her.
Honor had compelled her to a gen.
erOus policy with Ward. She had held
his admiration firmly in check she
had maintained a big-sister attitude
that was as wholesome for herself as
for him.
But here, she thought with sudden
satisfaction, might be the realization
of her own ambition, after all. Ward
was but four years her junior, and
Ward would be Richard Carriers heir

said Ward, watching the approach of
newcomers. Look at that man with

ran like nausea through her entire
body. The hand with which she
touched the sugar tongs was icy cold,

suddenly tired and broken.
Ward had gone across to greet the
BellamyS; Harriet fixed her eyes
with a sort of fascination upon the

talking. Almost everyone else in the
group was looking at him, too; Royal
Blondn was used to it; one of his

I'm this case, as a mother" Isabelle
was inspired to answer. Personally,
should very much like it for Nina's
sake. But you suit yoursefT'
The tone denied the words; Harriet
knew what she was expected to do
I'll be delighted to help!" she said
lifelessly. "a lot of women and chill
dren," she reflected, "and nobody
drinking tea anyway, this weather |"
Nina was duly dressed for the tea
party the next day, and went to show
herself to her mother while Harriet
dressed. The young girl looked her
best in filmy white with it's severely
plain rufles, and with a wide white
hat on her thick, smoothly dressed
hair. Miss Field, too, although she
was very pale today, looked simply
gorgeous" as Isabelle expressed it,
when she saw them off in the car,
although Harriet's gown was not new,
and the little Powered hat she had
crushed down upon her splendid hair
had been Isabelle's own a season ago
Harriet was in no holiday mood; she
felt herself in a false position; this
was to be one Of the times when she
paid high for all the beauty and lux
ury of her life.
Here we are!" Nina gave a star
tied glance at the lawns and gardens
of the Jay mansion already dotted
with awnings and chairs, and sprinkled
with the bright gowns of the first
arrivals. They were early, and their
hostess, a handsome, heavily built
woman with corsets like armorplate
under her exquisite gown, and a
blonde bang covering her forehead,
came forward with her daughter to
meet them. Francesca was as slight
as a willow, with a demurely dropped
little head and honeyed little, self
possessed manner.
VERY decent of you, Miss Field !"
breathed Mrs. Jay, in voice like that
of horn. you girls run along now
people will be comm at any minute.
I'm going to take Miss Field to the
table. Three hundred people comm"
across the lawn, and to the rather
| quiet corner of the awninged porch
where the tea table stood. "Tn leave
you here, and you just ask for anything
you need"
The matrOn melted away; Harriet
looked after her broad, retreating
back indifferently. She would have
loaned Harriet any amount of money,
the girl reflected, smOldering, she
would have shown her genuine friend
ship and generosity in a crisis. But
she would not introduce people to
Harriet this afternoon, and in a day
or two she would send Harriet a bit
of lace, or dainty waist, as a delicate
reminder that the courtesy had been
business one, after all.
Presently the sun came out for Har-
riet in the arrival of a tall, swiftly
moving, dark-eyed woman some ten
years older than she was herself:
Mary Putnam, one of the real friends
the girl had gained in the last four
years. Young Mrs. Putnam, Harriet
used to think, with a little natural
! jealousy under her admiration, had
everything. She was not pretty, but
hers was a distinguished appearance
and lovely face; she had the self
possessed manner of a woman whose
whole life has been given to the social
arts; she had a clever, kindly, silent
