Anson about dinner-about anything
she'd specially like? Was she tired
after her long Journey If not, what
would she say to their dining down
town-at the Blackstone, perhaps?
And seeing show afterward, by way
of making 1t a party?
The party that night was success.
True, he frowned trifie at the way
she dressed. Her San Francisco
clothes showed they had been bought
by one used to making forty dollars
look like four hundred. A trifle bizarre
for the fashionable hotel at which they
dined and with an impossible hat. Joe
ordered two cocktails and suggested
that she could sip hers and he would
finish 1t for her. She drank it down
instead and it showed a little in her
heightened color and tendency to be
on her guard.
1t might have been that or the show
that followed, a charming little play
with heroine in dotted Swiss, whom
Beatrice seemed to resent, that made
her fancy her father was in a patron
izing mood. Riding home from the
theater (Ea had not suggested pro-
tracing the adventure further) she
had seemed trifie frightened at his
proximity and 1t was with evident re-
lief that she took his casual dismissal

as he was sitting down to breakfast,
she amazed him by coming into the
dining-room. She was clad in loose
sleeved bath-robe, over her nightgown,
and her hair, In two thick black braids,
hung over her shoulders. Her eyes
were bright with youth, and the bloom
of sleep lay upon her unpainted skin.
Her greeting was mere playful
caress of one hand upon his shoulder.
Then she sat down in the armchair op-
posite his, and made great play Of
the domesticities Of breakfast; had
the coffee-urn and all the serving
dishes removed to her side of the
table.
She chaffed him brightly while she
served and. in the intervals, made
hearty breakfast of her own. She
made light of his concern that she
should be up and about so early. She
wasn't one of the sort who had to
sleep away their days. There was
nearly always something better to do
than sleep, she thought. and certainly
her first breakfast with her father was
one Of them.
The meal prolonged itself far be-
yond his usual limit for breakfast, and
the morning paper lay unregarded on
the floor. At last, however, he rose
and said he must be off. She rose, too

U. s. Weather Bureau Sends Out
Warning to Certain Regions
When Earthquakes Occur.

While seismological or earthquake
records cannot be used directly in pre-
dieting quakes, they have other prac-
tical uses. When the records are col
lected and studied they throw great
deal of light on the nature of earth
quakes generally, and it is conceivable
that at some future time this informa-
ton may lead to successful methods
of prediction.
In one way, however, which Is illus
trated in the practice Of the Hawaiian
volcano observatory, conducted by the
weather bureau of the United States
Department of Agriculture, seismolog-
ical records are of immediate practical
utility. Severe earthquakes within
oceanic areas frequently are attended
by so-called tidal waves. There may
be an interval Of many hours between
the occurrence of the quake and the
arrival of the destructive oceanic wave
at any given place. When violent
