FOR ALONELY SHACK

LEWIS
friend and companion, Rev. Earl
Blackman, arrived in Sank Centre
from Kansas City, Mo-, by auto Mon
day evening and spent the night at
the home of Mr.. Lewis father, DR.. E.
j. Lewis.
Tuesday morning they left for Be-
midi, the Iron Range and Tower,
MINI. The novelist is looking for
shack in a desolate portion of the
state where he can spend the next
few months working on a new novel
being disturbed by the curious.
The Sank Centre author has spent
the past two months in Kansas City.
Mr.. Blackman stated to a group of
Sank Centre men Tuesday morning
that Sinclair had attended church dur
ing his Kansas City stay with more
persistent regularity than any native.
He said he would remain in one
church until the services were about,
half over when he would depart,
jump into waiting taxi and drive to
some church in another portion of
the city and attend the services there.
At the conclusion of this service, Rev.
Blackman stated that Mr.. Lewis
would have pretty fair idea of both
services.
Once or twice a week for weeks
Mr.. Lewis has been informally enter
tanning at dinner group of minis
tiers of all denominations, Protestant,
Catholic, Jewish. With rapid-fire in
terrogations Lewis would question
them on their faith and their reasons
for their belief. His questions in
many instances were mighty hard to
answer successfully.
Rev. Blackman is assistant pastor
of one of the large Disciples of
Christ churches in Kansas City. The
church is often times called the
Christian church. 1t is very strong
in the south, and is more similar TO
the Baptist church than any other de-
nomination. Both insist on INNER
sion as the true form of baptism.
After that the roads diverge as the
members of the Christian church
have no man made creeds, each men,
Der makes his or her Interpretation.
of the Masters word. ..
In discussing Mr.. Lewis Rev.
Blackman stated he was the most re-
markable and brainest man with
whom he had ever come in contact.
The preacher and Mr.. Lewis will
part company at Duluth Friday as the
pastor must return to Kansas City in
time for services Sunday morning. r.
It is expected that the novel upon
which Lewis will devote his time and
talent this summer will deal with the
ministry.
''Mantrap," Mr.. Lewis latest novel
has been running serially in Golfers
and has been published in book form.
1t deals, the Herald understands with
the experiences of DIR. Claude and
Sinclair Lewis on trip to the wilds
of Canada two years ago. This book
had an advance sale of $4,000 copies
before it left the presses.
Mr.. Lewis will return to Sank Cen
tire in about ten days and will visit
his father indefinitely. His only
companion in the cottage will be a
Hawaiian boy cook.
On June sixth Mrs. Lewis and the
son will sail from New York for Ger
many. Mr.. Lewis will either join
her there in September or she will re-
turn to America and they will take
up their residence at Washington, D.
c., for the winter.

BONDED REALTORS
INCREASE is PER CENT

Helena, Jan. 31.-The number of
licensed and bonded realtors in Mon
tana has increased over sixteen per
cent in 1925 as compared to 1925, ac-
cording to figures compiled by the
division of publicity, department of
agriculture. In 1924 there were 318
licensed real estate brokers in the
state; on January 1, 1925 there were
374.
Realty men who are not licensed
are subject to a fine for transacting
business. There are thought to be
about 100 persons in the state trans
acting a real estate business who
have not been licensed. A fled check
up in every town in the state will be
made shortly.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
After reading your scathing denun-

'Limelight" column of the Producers
News, l was wondering if "Quicklime"
would not be a better name for the
space you reserve for comment on
events on the day. 1t seems to me
your system of burning up" great
men like MERCER and Bryan immedi-
ately after their death is rather dar-
ing and uncalled for
Allowing full credit for the frank
ness with which the "LimeEght" deals
with public problems, l think your
criticism Of Cardinal MERCER was
unjustified and too severe. In stand

At the end of August she was back

from Jim to be waiting for her. but
no word came from him until she had
been back several days The old
nervousness settled back on her, and
when at last she held the square.
foreign looking envelope in her hands.
she began to tremble as she had that
day in the hospital. With shaking
fingers she tore open the envelope.
but the closely written lines danced
before her eyes so that she could not
read them.
Then, out of the meaningless blur,
sentences fairly leaped at her.

finished you can see that. and I'm
hoping to bring matters to a climax
very soon now. AS long as I'm here

myself. Just as soon as / know when
can leave I'll cable you. Try TO
feel that if this disappoints you. it is

face as you read these lines. and the

anything in the world. and keep your
self safe for me. Yours forever.

A cold hand seemed to close around
her heart as she sat there staring into
space. After all. the wedding wouldn't
take place in September. and worse
still. Jimmy hadn't given her any
idea of when it would take place. He
would tAhie her when he knew. but
did he realize what the suspense
meant to her? Did he realize how
hard it would be for her to meet the
nurses and see them exchange mean
ingful glances? Did he have any idea
of how much he had already made
her suffer?
There was a hard lump in her
throat, ard after a moment the slow
tears began to trickle down her
cheeks Then she threw herself across
the couch and burst into hard, racking
sobs.

women because it became so inexpen-
sive that any one could wear it. More
over, 1t lacked distinction-when doZ.
ems OF women all about were wearing
similar beaded frocks--a nd the beads
had way of coming off.
No one has invented a process of
putting beads on so they won't come
off, but the designers have produced
beaded frocks that possess distinction
and individuality. Printed silks OF
Opaque texture show an outlining of
beads around certain portions of the
printed pattern. Other printed mate
rails are used for evening frocks, with
the plain sections between the design
worked solid in tiny beads, while the
only part not beaded is the large print
ed design. Figured lace Is used for
the background of the bead work on
some evening frocks, the bead design
following that of the lace pattern.
Silver and gold lace and various
sorts of velvet are chosen for the
background of beads on many smart
evening frocks. Some of these frocks
show combination Of beads and pail
lettes, while. others are wrought en-
tirely in paillettes. Sometimes beads
are used in combina ton with sequins.
The beads now used are for the most
part small. so that the beaded frock
no longer need possess the Slinky ap-
pearance that has been associated with
it. Moreover. the beads are often ap-
piled to a material with more body
than georgette Sometimes they are
worked on tulle which though quite
thin has some stiffness about 1t.
