friends in the pink dress.

expressed when the guests began to
come. Agnes thought the dress too
cute for anything;" Martha said:
"You make me want TO laugh"
Robert did laugh. but Jim was nice
enough to say nothing. only stare.
while Ruth and Richard really ad-
mired the girls.
Mrs. Cory had been bustling about
in the kitchen. but when she came
out and saw Katherine she gave
gasp. Then she beckoned Betty to
her and asked: what have you done
to that poor child? She looks ridieu-
lous."
Katherine felt ridiculous and un-
comfortable. especially when they be-
gan playing games like spin the plate
because her skirt was SO tight she
could hardly step. Still she managed
to go through with 1t until supper was
announced and all the guests filed
into the dining room where the table
stood glittering with best glass and
silver and loaded with cakes. candies.

to sit down and hide some OF that
pink dress. which she was beginning
to hate like poison.
Jim sat next to her and all he said

handles, and as soon as the fire had
died down little and left nice bed
of glowing red embers they sat down
on the floor before the fire, stuck
marshmallow on each fork and held
them over the Goals. How good the
marshmalows smelt as they puffed
out their sides and Drowned. And
how good they tasted when they were
carefully pulled off the forks and put
into waiting mouths!
They were so good that Jamie al
most--but not quite--forgot about
the story his father had promised to
tell. After he had eaten the sixth

mallow he leaned back with a sigh
and said, "Now for the story. please,

laughter rose from the table. Every
body was staring and laughing.
Katherine looked down at her
shoulder. Horrors, Her sleeve was

all out which Betty had put in on her
mothers sewing machine. Down
came the sleeve and up sprang Kath-

her eyes.
Some one gently took her cienched

the room amid the muffied giggIes OF
her friends.

up this little organdy.

wanted to poke at her.

Something like hollyhock," his

And his shadow followed behind,

ENGLAND OWES j. s.
HUGE INTEREST

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Great
Britain's payment Of interest of her
war debt to the United States, due
October Is. will amount to approx
mately $5O,OOO,OOO, according to the
belief expressed today by high treas
ury officials.
In setting forth this opinion treas
ury officials disclosed that the Brit
ish government had asked the United
States if an approximation Of the
$65,000,000 of interest due next
month and of the $35,000,000 Of in
terest, due November Is, might be
made in October, pending arrange
ments for refunding the $4,000, 000,-
900 British debt. The British debt
at present bears interest at the rate
of five per cent, payable in semi
annual installments, but as there
is a probability that the funding
scheme would provide for interest
at IA per cent treasury officials
thought it probable that the approxt-
nation would be allowed in October.

Relic Of Bygone
Day Dug Up in Road
Near Carbondale. Ga.

DALTON, Ga, Sept. PA price
less relic of the period before the
world came to an end was uncover
ed by the COL 1t gang building a
new road near Carbonate. 1t was
a pint bottle of real apple brandy
and it was buried fully three and a
half feet underground. The ground
had packed firmly over it, and the
brandy had evidently been there for
a long period of years.
Back when it wasn't crime to
make real flicker" openly, there was
a big distillery within a short dis
lance of where the bottle of brandy
was found, and it is believed it was
the sole survivor of a once proud
tribe.
Warden Nelson states that tie
brandy was clear as crystal in spite
Of it's age. Since news Of the great
find was broadcasted, the warden is
having trouble keeping the people
from digging up his road as fast as
he builds it.

Cotton Market Opinions

A. A. Houseman & Co.: We prefer to wait
for increased activity in the future market
und decrease in southern offerings before
buying.
Logan x Bryan: We continue to believe
that for the time being at least, the cotton
market is more than likely to display sag
cling tendencies.
Thomson & McKinnon: We still believe
that cotton will be cheaper on the declines
this autumn than it will be again this season
j. S. Bache & Co.: We think we'll of buy
ing at this level either for scalping opera
lions or long pull.
Munds & Winslow: We advise standing
aside for the moment.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: We continue to
feel present prices are safe and favor pur-
chases on reasonable sethacks from this level.
s. B. Chaplin &c Co.: We would only favor
fresh purchases during renewed weak periods
pending clearing up of the Turkish was
situation.
Hubbard Bros: There is an extremely
good undertone caused by mill buying that is
becoming more evident every day and on
every decline there is always godo demand
for large blocks Of cotton at limited prices.
