My dear Betty: You will see from
the enclosed clippings that my mar

after all. Dad is still far from well,
and some things came up which made
it imperative that it should take
place at once. 1t all happened over
those beastly pearl beads.
l hate to confess it, but sometimes
I think that Karl has sneaking
love for Leslie-Le size, who always
was one of those mealy- mouthed bits
of mid-Nictorian sweetness. (Forglve
! me, my dear, for making an invldi-
Gus remark about the queen, who is
probably one Of your calendar saints

bit of devotion gesture of loyalty Love- big and abiding
and controlling, its perfect definition It means that man

himself alone but upon her who went down INTO the val

Men who give such love this expression IN their daily

that he didn't know the pearls were
real.
Well, it kicked up an awful fuss.
Seems that stupid husband of hers
got very jealous all at once, and
Leslie made dads illness an excuse
to come to him. She accused me of
writing the letter, and what's worse,
she practically accused me right be-
fore Karl. Then it was up to me to
marry Karl and do it quick, so |

Mr.. Warren has been scarcely

success for Secretary OF State
Hughes. OF course. if the MeAl-
can President, General Oregon,
had not been the man he is, the
happy outcome could not have
been reached even by Mr.. War

natural intelligence. and it is only
to be hoped that General cafes
his successor, will exhibit hall as
much.

ADVENTURE OF

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"I'm Mister Snip Snap" said the
funny little man who had suddenly
appeared beside the Twins the minute
they had put on the magic shoes.
The Twins looked at him, SO sur
prised they couldn't speak just at
first. But then, as for that, they
didn't get much chance. For Mister
Snip Snap talked so much nobody
could have squeezed word in edge
wise.
He was as thin as a darning needle
and as sharp all over as box OF
tacks-ncthing but corners ard
points. Really one wondered that ne
didn't catch on himself sometimes
when he went to put on his clothes.
And perhaps he did.
"Talking! Talking! Nothing but
talking!" he ratified on. "Talklng
when there's so much work to do.
That's what you were doing when
came to hunt you up. Talking
and talking and talklng!"
But really" laughed Nancy, 1--WE

THE SUNSET TRAIL
(FlOrence BOrner)

When your steps are growing slower,
And your hair is getting thin,
When your heartbeats grow the falnter'
And your eyes dull and dim;
When the things you once enjoyed so'
Seemingly are old and stale.
It's sign you'll be going,
To the place called Sunset Trail .
You will find you have companions,
And, like you they have grown old,
! AS they slowly drfted downward,
Where the. skies turning gold;
Some are tough and weather-beaten,
Others forms are thin and frall
But they're going ever forward,
To the place called Sunset Trail
Drifting, drifting, oh, so gently,
On the surging tide,
Sailors starting voyage
On an Ocean vast and wide;
Each of us must take this Journey
From the cradle to the grave
Wealth can't purchase our redemption,
Naught on earth has power to save
Some there are who dread this voyage,
Thinking shat it spells their doom,
And they fear the darksome shadows,
l. As>ahead hey seem to loom;
WhnE the trembe for the future,
Hearts grown faint from fear and ave.
Thus forgetting Christ, the Master
And the Great Eternal Law. ~,
Going West, some people call it,
When vanish from Earth's sight,
But. we've only rent the curtain,
That obscures eternal light:
And if we have played life's game fair,
Not fear can e'er betide-
We shall find welcome waiting,
Whsns We reach ths other side. --~,
