upon the subject, she said nothing Of
them, but 1t was clear to those who
knew her well that in the end she
would probably do exactly as she
pleased. Her mother knew that she
swore, that she smoked, that her self
sufficfency as a driver of ambulances
in Paris had made the thought of q
chaperon a joke, and that she was
accustomed to go whittier she pleased
by day or night with any companions
she chose. either male or female. But
Mrs. Mohun comforted herself with
the assurance that these were but
passing phases of social custom and
that Cherry under any conditions was
now quite able to look out for her.
self And so Mrs. Mohun made no at
tempt to stem the tide of careless
ness. of recklessness in the habits and
customs of tho younger set. She fol-
lowed the example of other mothers
above and below her in the social
scale. who, rather than risk the pop
ularity of their daughters, fIgurative-
ly closed their eyes, turned their
backs and put their trust in God.
But Cherry went on her way bliss
fully unaware of these mental reSer-
walton on the part of her mother.
"Muzzy." as she called her, was good
sort, and neither OF them took very
seriously the half -bantering sugges-
tions as to the proper conduct OF
Cherry's social campaign.
There was not the slightest doubt
as to it's success Everybody told her
right in every other way. And Cherry
believed what everybody said. She
was a child of nature.
If any one had told her that the
conduct of the crowd of young people
with whom she consorted tended to
demoralize the tone of society. she
would have replied with perfect can
dor and some resentment that they
were all straight as strings and as
| fine lot as anybody would find any
where. And. moreover, that. in sc

right, nothing and nobody else mat

pains to inquire as to some Of the es-
capades of her set, he might have
undeceived her. But he didn't. He
was too busy.
On the Sunday afternoon following
the meeting at the golf club Cherry
was rather bored. The succession OF
social activities with which the past
few weeks had been crowded had for
some reason come to pause-leav-
ing her rather breathless and ex-
, hauSted. Dick Wilberforce was away
for the afternoon. Phoebe Macklin
had gone motor-boating with Jack
Spencer. and the rest of the crowd
had made engagements. To make the
matter worse. this was the day her
, mother chose for her afternoon a,

found something to do. she vas in

her talents. Having arrived with
the people that really mattered, this
harmless hobby diverted her. \ little

HOUSTON, Tex, March Six
members Of the Ku Klux Khan are
serving on the federal grand jury
which indicted E. 7. Clarke, former
acting imperial wizard of the khan,
on a charge Of violating the Mann
act. Prior to swearing in the jury
several days ago, Judge Hutcheson
questioned each man as to his pos
sible connection with the Ku Klux
klan The six said they were klans-
men, but denied that such member
ship would affect their judgment in
cases where evidence of guilt was
presented.
The indictment against Clarke yes
terday gave few details concerning
the charges made. 1t was understood
the alleged violation occurred Feb
ruary II, 1921. Clarke was in New
Orleans at the time with Imperial
Wizard Simmons ostensibly in attend
ance of some meeting Of khan chiefs.
He previously had been in Houston
with Wizard Simmons. where, 1t is
alleged, he met the young woman who
is named in the indictment returned
