LONDON, September 1.-THE Ouch

OF Wales on Long Island. has petit
toned for the dissolution of her mar
riage, the papers having been served
on the duke August Is, it was re-
vealed in court yesterday.
The divorce proceedings came out
when attorneys for the duchess re-

The effort to obtain the injunction
failed, the court issuing no order on
the motion. which was dismissed.
In stating the facts on which the
duchess based her application for an
Injunction her attorney said that
shortly after her marriage. on No
vember 26. 1920. the duke treated her
with great cruelty. The attorney also
declared that the dukes relations
with other women were such that the
duchess demonstrated with him at
Cannes in January of this year. tell
ing him he must alter his mode of
life or she would be unable OF live
with him.
The duke refused to alter his mode
of life, continued the attorney, and
suggested they should live apart, the
duke recommending the duchess to
live at Bourbon House and saying
monetary provision would be made
for her.

AS undresecretary Mr.. Gilbert was
in direct charge of the Farm Loan
Treasurers office, the Director Of the
Mint, the Budget Bureau. the Regis

Bureau. the Secret Service and the
Actuary. He was in charge Of nego-

business, some $4o0.o0o00O in short

officer of the Budget Bureau. he was

has created the position that he is to

year to become a full partner in his
old law firm.
With it all, Mr.. Gilbert is not rated

Chapter 100

Chapter 100
The Reverend Harold Sumner was
very uncomfortable. In the first place,
he had let himself say more than had
been quite discreet this afternoon. For,
after all, much as he admired Marian
| Horton, and much as her personality
stirred him, he really was not as well
acquainted with her as a man should
be with the woman to whom he pro-
poses. He had not meant to go quite
so far quite as soon. Moreover the fact
that the object Of his admiration gave
him no encouragement was somewhat
of a damper to his enthusiasm. She
might not care for him yet-but she
had been unflatteringly certain that he
was mistaken as to the nature of his
| feelings for her and equally certain
fas to her inability to love him. Nor
had she shown the maidenly bashfulness
and timidity that he would expect
girl to display on receiving a declara-
ton of affection.
Here was an independent nature.
He had been startled by something
she said about being quite impossible"
so as far as he was concerned. That
was a strange way for a girl to speak.
She had made him vaguely unconafor-
table by her assured and worldly-wise
manner. Had he not been carried away
by his sympathy for her, his admira-
ton of her courage, he would have ana
lyzed her character sooner. Now he per-
ceived what a contrast she was to her
gentler sister.
The memory of the expression in that
sisters eyes added to his discomfort.
What could have made her look so I'M
happy? He wondered-and he had
glow of flattered vanity at the thought
if she had been hurt at finding him
along with Marian while she was fol-
lowing the path Of duty. He wished he
lain that she was much more helpful
to him than her light-hearted sister
could ever be. After all he owed Mari
an a debt of gratitude for not taking
him at his word this afternoon, for
discerning that he was speaking on the
impulse of the moment--aot from q
full heart fervently. She was a much
more sophisticated than Lois that she
could read a mans weaknesses.
Yet--a minister would not wish q
sophisticated woman for wife.
Thus does wounded vanity heal its
hurts!
Today was destined to be one Of
disagreeable experiences for the young
clergyman.
He had spoken the truth when he
told the Horton girls that he had
call to make on his way home. That
call was at the house of Mr.. Ban
scombe. The worthy deacon had ar
ranged for a business meeting of the

Presently Reddy came trotting along
right under the tree in which Sammy
sat
osity. He had a feeling that he might
discover something very interesting.
So the next time Sammy saw Reddy
hunting on the Green Meadows he kept
Reddy in sight, all the time pretending
to be very busy hunting himself. He
kept his tongue still and he kept as
much out of sight as possible, but he
managed to keep Reddy always in view.
Reddy had very good luck that morning.
Sammy was too far away to see what
Reddy had caught, but presently Reddy
started off as if bound straight for some
particular place. Sammy chuckled to
himself and followed, taking great care
to keep just as far behind Reddy as
possible and still keep Him in sight.
Reddy trotted along swiftly to the edge
of the Green Forest. This surprised
Sammy because Sammy had hunted and
hunted through the Green Forest for
Reddys new home and hadn't found
a sign of it.
When Reddy reached the edge of the
Green Forest he followed it to where it
Joined the Old Pasture. Then he look
ed this way and that way to make sure
that no one was watching him. He was
very crafty, was Reddy, as he always
is. Sure that no one was watching, for
he couldn't see Sammy Jay in the thick
top of a tall hemlock tree, he turned
into an old COW path among the bushes
of the Old Pasture and trotted on as
swiftly as before. But even then the
clever rascal didn't go straight to his
new home. He was for too smart for
that. He followed the old COW path a
short distance and then leaped lightly
to one side among the bushes and jump
ed up on big rock, where he sat for
few minutes looking back the way he
had come to make sure that no one was
following him.
1t was we'll for Sammy Jay that he
knew the ways of Reddy Fox. He had
expected Reddy to do some such smart
trick as this and so he was not caught.
Instead of following Reddy he had at
once made up his mind that Reddy's
home was somewhere in the Old Pasture
and so he had flown swiftly by a round
about way to a certain tree in the Old
Pasture beyond where Reddy was
watching and from which he could see
much of the Old Pasture. There he
sat perfectly still,
Presently Reddy came trotting along
right under the tree in which Sammy
sat. Reddy didn't once think of look

~ WELL KNOWN business man of

Rfked him why.
Because women are too touchy," he
ssfd, frankly. II used to hire women
a. atenographers and bookkeepers,

Z o< my time settling arguments and mis-
Understandings and placating them"
s I felt that his attitude may have
he1n q little bitter and tinged with ex-
&knsration. At the same time, 1 rather
unidentified his viewpoint because /
really believe that one great fault that
venen display in business-not all,
but most Of them-is an excess of sen
sitiveuess.
In my office experience I have usu-
ally found one or two women who are
always ready to take offense where
none was intended, always ready to
gek fearful when an employer was
unnecessarily brusque or hasty, too
ready to assume that some one was
trying to hurt feelings when that was
really not the case.
IL women want to take the same
responsibilities as men in business
tbdAy, think it is high time that
they abandoned any excessive sensi-
fjvenesa. There is no more occasion
70 be touchy In business than there
In In q ballroom or at a card party.
Secretaries and strengraphers who
are accustomed to polite and consid-
crate treatment from an employer
often wonder if they have done some
thing wrong when that gentleman is
hasty or snappy. They forget, per-
hsps that he may not be feeling just
right, that something may have gone
NTpne at home, that he may be wor-
ried about business.
No one in business today should
considef hastiness or brusqueness as
q personal affront. Why take such
things personally? The best attitude
70 assume is one of philosophic calm.

time not indifferent.
After all, avoid tears in the business
