bright winter sun etreanned IN

wardrobes in the dressing-roorn.
Mary regarded. herself criti-
caIly. She had wished mot with

felt that she had achieved the
subtle combination IN the frock
Of soft black velvet cut with
long, sweeping lines and Of an
excessive simplicity; and d black
velvet hat Of medium size with
4 dropping brinl that almost
covered one eye. The long whits
gloves disappeared into her sleeves
somewhere above the elbow and
she wore single string Of
pearls. She looked very Pari-
sian, very elegant. as Mrs. ogle-
thorpe would have expressed it,
and very assured. IN spite OF the
n1ocl1ing gleam in the one visible
eye her face was serene and
proud.
She had felt some trepidation
on Tuesday when she had sought
out Mrs. Oglethorpe and made
rer explanations. but she felt
none whatever at The prospect OF

UNCLE SAM SHOULD SET A GOOD
EXAMPLE

The volume of announcements sent out from
government departments to newspapers with the
expectation that they will be given widespread
nublicity is increasing. Editors are being bonn
barded more heavily than ever, and there are
some particularly heavy guns in the post Office
department
These announcements are sent out with the
plain expectation that newspapers will use them
in their entirety, or nearly so and thus save the
government the expense of advertising them.
The result is that both the government and the
newspapers lose The publicity is turned down
by SO many editors that it falls far short OF
reaching all the people, Papers, that do use.
it are giving away the service they are IN busl-
ness to sell, and are at the same time postponing
the day when the cause, of the trouble will be
relnoveds ss 4 tsf@ 'a4,stS
There is no good reason why the government
should expect the newspapers to carry It's am
nouheements free A certain proportion OF gov
erntnent orders and regulations is news, but the
endless flow of department detail THAT IS sent to
thelnewspapers is not news.
H all leads to the matter of the value OF adVer-
tising. The news columns may carry every de-
tail that the government sends out without ac-
complishing the purpose sought. If the same
information appeared in display advertising
space bearing the signature of the United States
government, it would exert far wider influence.
Then the public would realize that what the gov
ernment had to say was important enough to be
worth paying for, and it would heed. Any other
arrangement is only makeshift.-Fourth Is

SOME TROUBLES IN RUNNING
A NEWSPAPER

Running a newspaper is not with
out its drawbacks but running a. ques-
tion and answer column OF an agrlcul-
tural paper has nothing but the draw
backs if we take the word of a fellow
who tried it for three days while the
editor was away. A few of the ques-
tions he answered will give you an
idea of the variety:

milk mabel d.
No, Mabel. Condensed milk is made
by trying to get quart of milk in a
pint bottle.

leading figure in public life, had a
well-merited reputation for wit.
At dinner party one evening Mr.
Barham sat beside lady whose neck
and shoulders were very beautiful
Proud Of their beauty, the lady always
wore outrageously decollete gowns,
but she, would modify or veil their
decolletage by means of a spray of
orchids which, however, had more than
once been known to fall out of place.
And now, between the soup and the
fish, the orchids, as their habit was,
dropped to the floor. Mr.. Barham
picked them up and restored them to
the beautiful lady.

things the senator's encounter some
times. During the discussion of the

given the job of finding out who stole
the goods and failed. Then the De-
partment of Justice was called in and
succeeded. at least to the extent of put

sisted that it would be a waste to give
