HEROINE TO
MAIDS HERE

A man may not be a hero to his
valet, but Queen Marie is a heroine
to all the maids and attendants that
came in contact with her at the Co
lumbia Club, where the royal party
stayed for the few hours they were
in Indianapolis, Wednesday, and
where the banquet was held. "Ah,
didn't know queens would smile at
you." commented one maid, "but
this one dill Jes' looked right at me
and smiled as nice as anybody"
The whole fifth floor of the Co
iumbia Club was given over to the
royal party. which carried a retinue
of thirty-flve persons. There are
twenty-six rooms on the floor and
everyone was decorated with great
white and yellow chrysanthemums.
In the living room Of the Queen,
tall pedestal baskets of yellow and
white flowers We're placed on either

low basket of flowers was on the

If you have tears, here is where
they must fall. We had not thought
very much about it, but consider this
great country filed with married
men, haggard, woe-begone, underfed,
dull and downcaSt, victims OF this
thing called New Freedom. Did the
heavens ever witness so pitiful
sight as the great American husband
whose mamma will not stay home?
Everywhere you go you may see
them, these pathetic married men,
nstlessly going up and down their
golf courses, sitting Indifferent at
their football games, signing as they
attend their business conferences,
gazing with tear-dimmed eyes at mu-
steal comedies, and now and then
weeping in anguish upon the Shout
ders of a metallic blonde-pale, neg
lected, hungry, trying to be brave.
But underneath this noble attempt
to bear up under things a piercing
eye, like Mencken's, can discern the
poignant longing for slippers and
easy chair, the dull ache for domesti-
eity.
Not since the Roman galleys held
chained to the oars prisoners of
war, has the world beheld such
slaves as Americas tenor singing

the functions of the sexes?
It's not so very many years ago
when, if a girl had a best dress, a
neat everyday dress, a nice coat, a

silk stockings, a pair of gloves, and

In that embarrassing moment,
Faiths first thought was for Cher
ry-she was immensely glad that her
little sister had not opened the door
when she and Bob Hathaway were
in each others arms.
YES, I took the letters" Faith
told her quietly, but she could not
keep her eyes from shining with joy.
II came to ask Bob for an explana-
ton, and it's just as / thought-it
wasn't Bob at all; he knew nothing
whatever about the letters. 1t was

"Why?" Faith put her hand on
Cherry's shoulder and turned the girl
SO that she had to face her.
"Well, T got her job with Mr..
Cluny didn't I? And if you must
know" the little head, in its saucy
brown cloche was flung up defiant
ly, "she's nuts about Chris Wiley,
and 1 made him give her the air."
He must have laid her off only
temporarily" Bob Hathaway cut in
unsmilingly, 'for he's been going
around with her since you became
engaged to Uncle Ralph"
That's a lie!' Cherry flung the

Hathaway's anger rode high, recl,-

eyes.
Cherry, you've got to apologize to
Bob" Faith seized her sisters arms
and shook her as If she had been q
naughty child. "Hes going to do
| everything he can to unravel this
mystery and put stop to those
blackmail letters, and I'm not going
to let you pay him back by calling
him ugly names. Apologize right
now!"
To Bob's amazement- Cherry's
small face began to culver, and tears
welled up in the golden eyes.
I'm sorry, Bob. I'll be good. I
apologize. Cherry's voice came
sweet and muffled from the little
head Graded in the hollow of Faith
shoulder.
"All right, infant" Bobby's voice
was comradely and gay again. Nov,

door and who greeted the shapeless,

smiled pleasantly. "She left me quite

"Wakes Sunday" Long
Esafiunl in Eng[ona

A peculiar religious festival
known as wakes Sunday used
to be held, and is still observed
In the north of England and else
where in honor of the day of dedi-
cation of the parish church. On
this anniversary it was customary
for the younger parishionefs TO
keep watch in the church upon the
night preceding the feast day
from which is derived the curious
term wakes" About the middle
of the Seventeenth century, how
ever, it was ordained that all
church wakes were to be held upon
the first Sunday in October instead
of on different dates, as had pre-
viously been the case, and for
about two hundred years later,
Wakes Sunday and the day follow
Ing was a recognized national fes-
tival, akin to the modern bank
holiday. In Herefordshire the day
following Wakes Sunday was
"Thumping Monday" an allusion
to the fighting that so frequently
marred the festivities. In Corn
wall, Wakes Sunday was known as
"Feaston Sunday" Another name
was Hopping Sunday" derived
from the dancing which took place.
