new debt offer, delaying a decision
until Monday after an hour and a
half of discussion.
Expressions Of hope of an early
settlement were voiced by some men,

It was indicated that France might
be asked to yield still further on its
proposed settlement, but there were
no indications that counter propos-

The fact that Ambassador Rcrcng-

terday, went beyond that offered last
summer by the Caillaux mission
seemed particularly gratifying to the
American commissioners.

OLD AGE AND IDLENESS
BY THOMAS ARKLE CLARK

u LIEN had been very kind to her
H mother and very watchful over
her as Mrs. Gentry got a little less
vigorous and little more lottery on
her feet. Mrs. Gentry had lived a very
active life, and even though now she
was eighty she still longed for GER
tain amount of activity, for something
definite to do. She hated being con-
tinually idle. 1t made her realize
more keenly that she was an old lady
"a very old lady.
Ellen was always saying, Don't do
that, mother; you'll tire yourself. Let
me do it." Ellen was forever eau
tioning her against draughts or over
eating or stumbling on the polished
floors, so she usually sat quietly and
did nothing.
Sometimes, however, when Ellen
left her alone for short time she did
what she wanted to do and risked the
consequences.
whats happened to the fern?" Ell
len asked on coming home one day
after an absence from her mother for
the afternoon. The fern was a huge
plant that made a load even for the
man of all work who sometimes car
ried it about when the house was be-
Ing cleaned.

some time" Mrs. Gentry said smiling,

"Oh, mother!" was all that Ellen
could say. You might have fallen, or
sprained your back, or done something
terrible"
81 had good time" was all Mrs.
Gentry said.
After Ellen lost her mother she
used sometimes to think over these
days and wonder if she had not been
too careful, If she had not done too
many things for her mother and given
her too little of the pleasure and COM
fort that comes from work. -.

SEE SHORTAGE OF
CHINCHILLA WRAPS

Sad news for women who have their
hearts set on the acquisition of chin.
chilla wraps is that the chinchilla Is
in danger of extinction. Already the
price of chinchilla fur is almost pro-
hibitive. In few more years, unless
the rodent of the barren Andes is given
adequate protection, his fur will bring
the equivalent of a kings ransom.
However, with the decrease in the
number of the little animals, the hunt
for them becomes more determined.
In the early days of the Spanish con-
quest of Peru and Bolivia chinchiIlas
were found in the lowlands and on the
plateaus. They were as common as
rats along the few rivers in these
two countries. The wives of the Span,I
