The Giant and the Boliver and the Snarlyboodle and the Knight and Raggedly Andy ate and ate ice cream cones until they could not eat any more And they did not have the stomachaches, either, for the ice cream cones were magic ice cream cones and they never make anyone feel Ill, no matter how many one may eat.

DOMANCE N OF THE. GREATER
 LOVE
CHAPTER LxxIII.

As Kenneth Lang and Victoria Walsh stepped out upon the huge veranda at the rear of the house, the man could not help considering this place with the little porch with which he had grown so familiar in Southold.
 This veranda, like that small one, was screened. It, too, had floor cov- ering and chairs of several varieties. But there were mating rugs on the Grants porch, two panited benches, an old-fashioned rocker and reclin- ing chair. The cushions were of cre- tonne.
 In the Walsh home, the huge back veranda floor was almost hidden by rugs so thick that the foot sank in them. The furniture was of the most elaborate and expensive va riety. The cushions were velvet and satin. On the table wes an imported square on which rested a cut-glass bowl of Japanese lilies. The air was heavy with their fragrance.
 As Victoria threw herself back into an arm chair. she seemed h part of the display, the ornate furnish ings. She reminded the observer of a painting of Cleopatra.
 Ruth was like a picture done in pastel shades. Ruth in her white or delicately-tinted frock.
 You are a stunning creature, Vtc- toriaw Kenneth declared as he took 8 chair opposite hers.
 He had always talked to her in this blunt way. She liked 1t. She was equally frank with him.
 You are rather good-looking, yourself" smiling at him. "The light here is dim, but as soon as saw you in the drawing room I no- ticed that you were handsomer than when you went away. Your illness has improved you in some way. You seem more efined-looking than ever Tell me all about yourself. They both laughed.
 You tell me about yourself" he demanded. q have been Ill, so have kept quiet. You have been well and

MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR THE WEDDING
By JULIA HOYT Mrs. Iydig HOyf)

(Mrs. Lydig HoyD
 Often when the wedding IS In tho country or where the church guests are all invited to the reception or breakfast, this invitation may be in- corporated with the one to the cere. mony in the following manner:
 MT. and Mrs. Hale Barney
 request the honor of

 daughter Geraldine
 Mir. John Robert Butler on Wednesday the Fifth of Juno
 at three o'clock
 at St. Thomas church and later at (the name of the country
 place or city address) R. s. V. D.
 It Is rare, however, to find that both the ceremony and reception inc clude the same number of guests. Some prefer a large ceremony and small reception, while others, as was my case, feel that they prefer only tt cir more intimate friends to be at the ceremony and like large rec ception.
 If the wedding is to be in the country, a train card is sent out with the invitation and reads:
 A special train will leave Pennsylvania station at 10:30 a. m., arriving at Glen Cove at 11:S0. Returning, train will leave Glen Cove at 4;15 p. m., arriving at New York at 5:15 p. m.

HAS A GRUDGE AGAINST AsPAR-
 AGUS COOKS!
 My favorite dish is asparagus, and I only hope that some receipe can be found by which it can be properly cooked-which will be something that no hotel in America has yet done.
 Whatever happens beseech the cook to stem it thoroughly and give the fruit to the customer without leaving the best part in the kitchen, as is generally the case. My idea would be to tie each piece separately at the ends and serve it this way so nothing will be lost.
 Note: Stand fresh asparagus up- right in water-the tips well above the surface. Cover the receptacle and steam thoroughly. Better still If you have steamer, keep the as- paragus entirely above the water until rendered done by the steaming process.

But she was much more agreeable company than his mother, and certainly less de- pressine than his own thoughts.

CITY PLANNER SAVES MONEY
ices of an Expert Brought DIV

The city planner hopes and expects
to save enough money for the city to
repay 1t well for the effort and money
spent, writes Harold Cary in Golfers
Weekly. In one Florida city, for in
stance, the council planned a new city
hall and was about to purchase a site
when the new plan of the city was
submitted. 1t called for the city hall,
when needed, to be built in an entirely
different place. The two sites were
compared. The first was expensive.
and just enough to build on. 1t was
centrally located. The second, recon-
mended by the expert, was less than
one-half as costly and was perhaps
twenty times as big. The building
could be placed in a big park. Since 1t
was on a traffic artery, near the center,
the councilmen decided that the expert
was right the new site was cheaper,
bigger. and actually more conveniently,
II less obviously, located.

Nolen. at provides certain indispens-
ables, as streets. buildings. parks, and

When you transplant trees, shrubs,

back sufficiently to permit them to

quickly. Because shrubs and trees
are delivered to you with long, frayed
roots just as they are taken from the
nursery is no reason why they should
be planted in this condition. Out

length and cut sharp all bruised ends
of the thicker roots.
Because most %shrubbery is green,
even In its Towering season, It is safe
to use 1t In any green-leaved variety
against most any home. Remember
that nature disposes her flowers
against trees and shrubs as a back
ground. You seldom find them grow

Flowers planted in beds. displayed

FORBIDS PACTS
AGAINST UNIONS
Attorney General Daugherty
Holds "0pen Shop" Agree
ments Are Illegal.
DECISION SWEEPING IN SCOPE
Considered to Cover All Phases Of
Combinations Either of Capital or
Laaor-Case at San Fran
cisco ls Basis.

Agreements and contracts having
OF az "open shop" labor policy are
held to contravene the conspiracy
clauses Of the Clayton act under a
ruling Of Attorney General Daugherty.
While occasioned by specific situ-
alton, relating to the Builders ex-
change, of San Francisco, the opinion
is declared to be sweeping in it's scope
and to cover generally, for the infor-
nation of federal district attorneys,
oil phases of combinations affected
either by labor against employers or
vice versa.
The ruling was regarded as of es-
pecial interest at this time In view
Of the repeated reports that several
projects Of more than ordinary size
might be undertaken with clauses in
the contract setting forth a definite
policy toward employment.
1t was learned that the ruling was
drawn after the attention Of govern
;nent officials was directed to formal
charges that members of the San
Francisco exchange had agreed among
themselves not to sell construction ma
terial to contractors who gave pref
erence to union labor In filling their
roster Of wOrkmen.
The United States attorney at San
Francisco was instructed officially to
investigate and take whatever action
seemed necessary on the ground that
such an agreement would constitute
clear case Of illegal conspiracy.
