N ANCING to noisy jazz tunes

the Society for the Preven-
tion of Cruelty to Animals. The
Mayor of rural town in the
Landes Department, who Is presi-
dent of the local branch of the or
ganization, has just issued an edict
prohibiting the youths and maidens
in his commune from holding
dances after the Sunday masses,
declaring that this 80 frightens
the cocks, hens and other barnyard
animals that they cause immeasur-
able damage to fields and gardens"
Tie order goes even further, the
final paragraph declaring that
henceforth 1t would be considered
a misdemeanor to hold public or
private dancing parties anywhere
in the commune during the hours
in which domestic animals repose.

ball for the benefit Of the Children,s

The possibility that President and Mrs.

hopeful that Mr.. Harding and the first
lady will see their way clear to attend.

was the only annual charity ball 1eld
in Washington and society turned out
en- masse each year. Plans now being
completed for the coming event promise

Aspiring Kenneltons
THE Kenneltons were youn

THE Kenneltons were young
i married people. Owing to his
deep interest in foreign trade,
Jasper Kennelton had accepted a
position in large drygoods estab-
lishment where his duties enabled
him to use his modish morning
coat. unpacked since the wedding.
Amyol Kennelton was a charm
ing young wife. But IL there was
one thing about her which gave
her husband a touch OF uneasi-
ness ii was her occasional lack Of
polish. due to her years as a
manicurist.
At length the Kenneltons' great
opportunity Of lifetime lowered.
Would it find them unprepared?
The President of Kennelton's
concern was looking about for a
new seventh vice-president to do
thrift work among the cash girls
whose reckless living had caused
concern. Naturally he asked the
Kenneltons to dinner.
It was gorgeous evening. AS
their trolley drew near the Presi-
dents house, young Mrs. Kennel
ton took her husbands arm. "Oh.
Jasper" she murmured, 81 feel

Amyol absentmindedly pressing

prong Of her stamped silver olive
fork. It was a mistake anyone
might make and yet how hu-
initiating and disastrous!
On the way homo that night
Amyol blamed herself bitterly.
But her husband said with the
firm cheerfulness for which she
married him:
