WOMEN LEAGUE OPPONENT
= WANT COUNCIL HEARING

Fears that opponents OF the
League of Nations will not have
chance to present their views at
the coming convention of the Inter
national Council of Women were
expressed today in letter address
ed to Lady Aberdeen, president of
the council, by Mrs. Henry Clarke
Coe, chairman of the club women's
protective committee.
Mrs. Coe urged that inasmuch as
it is "unbecoming for a group Of
foreigners to bring to our Capital
a two weeks convention which is
completely and solely a propaganda
program" one or two speakers
should be permitted to tell the
other side Of the league question.

 She always frightened when any one mentioned her marvellous baby 10 her.
 "He sleeps all night without yip- ping, and never has tummy ache. He's really not bit of trouhlr"

 May felt herself blushing, for no reason at all, so far as she could see.
 T should love 10 meet Sally" sh. said, and just then Sally came up from behind her.
 May knew she was Forgan's daughter the minute she slimpsed her. She had his sparkling brown eyes and straight, fine nose. But here the resemblance ended.
 SalIy's little mouth was il perfoct Cupid's bow. and 1t was painted a bright nasturtum red. Her cheeks were painted, too. and her thick "yclashcs were beaded with mas cara.
 Under her white felt hat little wisps of curly blond hair cleaned. contrasting with her straight black eyebrows. She was really beautiful m spite Of her paint and powder in spite of her fussy clothes, and the heavy rings on her little hands. From her wrist danglod gold vanity case and lipstick, and cigarct casc of scarlet enamel.

 "Wcll, l wouldn't feel badly about it." replied Jerry. If people will 1 leave their eggs around they deserve
 to lose them. Anyway, Mrs. Snap per will never know that those eggs
 were found. Now that she has laid the eggs, she'll never give them an-
 other thought, l will just swim over and fill that hole up, and that will be the end of the matter. ] am glad Bobby found those eggs. We don't want any more Shaping Tur- ! ties in the Smiling Pool and Laugh { ing Brook. We have enough, as it is. Mr. and Mrs. Snapper are awful eaters. IL is just as well that they shouldn't have any family here this
 year, l shouldn't feel badly about it, Peter, if l were you. Mrs. Snap

 "No,' said Jerry. "Shs has done i it before. t really makes a first
