DOMESTIC DAYS

| Every hospitable preparation had | been made by Mrs, Jarr for her husband and his friends and the pro- 1 posed game of Decent ante, and the 1 dining room was theirs for the time | being.
 In the children's room Mrs. Jarr | was endeavoring to assuage the gloom l cast over herself and her little ones i by MT. Soper having blockaded Jack Silver's offer to present radio and our set to the children by his dismal prophecies, that one attracted light ming and the other Invited disease. Finally Mrs. Jarr, the children hay ing sobbed themselves to sleep came out to the dining room resolved to risk the impending perils of the gifts 1 if Mir. Silver would renew his offer. She had only apeared at the thres- hold of the dining room where Charles Soper. the blighter, cried aloud: Hold on! There isn't to be any game unless there is a kitty for the lady of the house!"
 That's rigH%w chorused the rest, although Mr. Jarr said "Nonsense!' and Mrs. Jarr protested she would not hear of such a thing.
 bright idea occurred to the astute Mir Soper. With woman in. the game it would break up all the sooner and he was then playing on velvet.
 Do you mean to say,' he cried, y | asked you to sit in2 Why, II will make just five the ideal game. Let each of us stake you with stack of chips. So you can start in well cap italized and can lose"
 And a hand was dealt to Mrs. Jarr, and she bet until she was called on two queens and two jacks, because they were all of the same cobra beautiful shade of red. Mir. Soper had three aces.
 For an hour or more Mrs Jarr had near winners, and the harder her luck the more determined to win she became and the more her peevishness developed. She lost the kitty chips faster than they accumulated and was moro in debt to MT Jarr, the banker. than he ever would dare to remind her of
 After the gusets had departed Mrs Jarr looked around the untidy, lit tered, smoke-heavy dining room and hissed into MT. Jarr's ear: 'If you ever bring your card sharper friends to this house again to lose all your money and mine--in spite of my not wanting them to come-I'H get a di- vorce. How can our poor little chill dren have any Christmas if you do such things!"

he didn't once mention going back.
 But, much to my surprise. at the ninth hole, I was laughing and gig gling like a child when I used fewer shots than any of the others. I mo- ticed also that l was not so tired and I began to wonder if I was really go- ing to like the game.
 When we finished found that had used slightly over 150 strokes, while the others had 'scores from 7S to S4.
 Having just finished Name the Man" at the Goldwyn studios. I was able to go out to the club again the next day. My score was 100. The second time, I played I had cut 50 strokes off my score; I yelled for joy!
 Now, I would rather play golf in my health I sleep better and eat better.
 One thing golf has done for me too, it has hardened my muscles. Like most girls. I have never boasted a husky right arm, but now feel that should necessity call I could make a great success as box fighter
 And the new words I know. Golf has a language of its own. Way. words like butter. niblick, mashie, driver, teeing-off, fore, are part of my every day language. I can talk for hours on the best way to get out of a bunker.
 Now when I hear that song What's That Game They Play Upon the Green?" I shout: Golf, golf, I'm for it. MT. Shean."

COUNTRYSIDE WARWICK IS LABOR CANDIDATE
Adds One More To Number Of Po- litically Ambitious Englishwomen

LONDON, Dec. 1.-British women already are represented in the House of Commons by three of their sex, in addition to many house-broken husbands.
 The three soon may be joined by the Countess of Warwick, who is running on labor ticket, and will sit with the labor men in the House of Commons while her husband, the Earl is in the House of Lords.
 Lady Warwick is no new convert to the labor cause.
 "The young and thoughtless women who lived at Warwick castle in the old days is no more," she said in one of her election speeches.
 T am too old for political ambi- tions, and the short time I have l want to place at the disposal of those who are struggling to make his coun- try place fit for people to live in.

1 KINDREDS OF SORROW
 MEET AT MURDER TRIAL
Mother Of Slain Girl And Father
 Of Murderer Grieve Together

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 1.-An old man and an old woman stood in the darkness outside the court house a few minutes after the verdict had been pronounced that sentenced Fred Frenchie Conley. 21-year- old sailor to the penitentiary for 30 years for the murder of his wife. The former was H. W. .Conley of Sheffield, Ala, father of the boy and the latter was Mrs. Emily c. owens of Sneads, Fla, the widowed mother of the slain girl.
 Thank God, he wasn't sent to the electric chair,' whispered the old man, as he wiped away furtive tear.
 "Yes, thank God for that" breathed the old lady softly. But thank God he was not allowed to es- cape punishment"
 The woman was little and wrin- kled and gray. She was clad in mourning.
 The man was guant and garled anu fered consolation, awkward but sin cere.
 May God give you strength to bear up under your great sorrow" said the little woman to the old man. You are to be pitied. I hold no malice toward you and feel nothing DQl lilG SIcdl6St% piJy lOF you, De- cause I know what torment your soul had endured Neither do feel malice toward your boy. I feel sorry for him. I cannot get my girl back, and I feel that the taking of your boys life would not have helped right the wrong that has been com mitted. When the final reckoning comes, God himself will be the judge, The day of reckoning will come. But the electric chair. the knife, the iron bars-nothing can give my girl back to me-"
 The little woman sobbed.) Then it was that the father of the boy of fered consolation, awarkward but sincere.
 The old man and the old woman will meet again. They agreed to call at the jail to bid farewell to Fred FTenchie Conley before going their separate ways-he back to his farm in Alabama; she back to the lit- tie home in Florida that she mort gagged to raise money with which to make the trip to Norfolk to see the machinery of the law vindicate the murder of her daughter.

He knows that life has it's crue1ties, but he knows that it has its joys The first he avoids as we'll as he may; the second he tries to enhance.
 Those who attack him may find him proud; those who seek his help find it ready. For he judges man kind coolly, and yet gently. Know ing his own weakness, he respects the strength of others and sympa- thizes with their feebleness. He loves mankind without trusting it too much. His mind is like a beau tiful pair of scales, where he gives all men their due; when their due is not quite heavy enough he drops a tear into the scale. a

When I first heard a man say ''mashie" I thought he was talking about one of those men they arrest on the streets, but, 10 and behold, 1t was only a golf club he wanted.
 It was then 6 a. m. at the Rancho Golf club, in Los Angeles, and the grey fog rising from the rolling hills made me think again and again of my warm bed at home. In fact, if the golfing engagement had not been of long standing, and the people with me: Eleanor Boardman, Ray mond Griffith and Edmund Lowe, had not been enthusiastic golfers, would have emulated a golf club and a motor boat together, and would have tried to butter away.
 We teed-off at 6:30 and my ball went just where I had expected, on the fairway, exactly where it shouldn't have gone. Then l was laughed at by my friends, all of which aided to increase my dislike for all things pertaining to golf.
 I made the first hole, which had a par on it, in Il shots. The see- ond I increased my score on, my making if in IA. Already I was tired and was dropping casual remarks about the fire blazing in the club house. My how hard it is to walk on this ground" said to Raymond Griffith, aren't you tired?"

Peter SteiI, Correspondent

The Garden Island muddle was discussed at considerable length at a meeting of the Commercial club Last night, but no action was taken the matter having been put over until the next meeting. It appears that the city, after having won its fight to make Garden Island a part of Fairbanks, does not now desire to assume the responsibilities of maintaining the island property. There will be street work to do and there is a lot of work to be done on the island waterfront, involving an expenditure of upwards of s1o,- 900. The council is inclined to let the Government have the island. E. mil Pozzi and B. S. Kennedy, two occupants of Garden Island proper ty, were present at the meeting and explained that the present attitude of the city made them feel like orphans, with the Government try ing to drive them out and the city reluctant to come to their aid
