NEGOTIATIONS

NHERE are moments when the
u most devoted husband wonders
what he used to WORRY about,
before he got married.
There are three things that no
woman can swallow-tepid soup,
cold waffles. and luke-warm af-
lection from the man she loves.

Light loves, like cheap jewelry,
are mostly a pretty display: real
love, like an iceberg, goes deep
and that which shows OH the sur.
face is merely a tiny sample of
the sublime and unfathomable
emotion that lies beneath it.
A mans interest in q woman, a
book, or a love-affair never wanes,
so long as his curiosity Is un.
satisfied, and he can't guess how
things are going to turn out.
OF course, a man hates shopping
because he only shops for what
he needs; but a woman knows
that the real joy and thrill of
shopping only begin, when she
starts shopping for a lot of things
she DOESN'T need.
When man closes a chapter of
his life, he seals 1t and puts it in
the vault of his dead past; but a
woman always leaves a book

can turn back to it at any time
and go over. it all again."

Discretion at Bottom
of All Good Manners

When two beasts of the jungle meet
in path and do not wish to fight or
to devour one another, each steps
aside to allow the other passage.
When two civilized men meet in
path, each steps aside and calls his
surrender of the right of way virtue.
1t is not at all probable that good
manners originated in kindness of
heart. The first manifestation of the
quality we call courtesy must have
been mere discretion.
But because man delights in his own
approval and ever makes a virtue of
necessity, we now have a universal
belief that good manners are wholly
result of good breeding and inbern
grace.
The truth is that good manners are
acquired, now as always, to avoid pun
ishment.
Children acquire them to avoid be-
ing spanked; youngsters who lacked
proper training in childhood acquire
them to avoid being ostraciZed; the
new-rich acquire them to avoid being
snubbed.
1t is ali very well to scold the rus
tic and dOmineering bully who can lift
yearling heifer, and praise his hum
BILE and considerate brother who tips
the scales at 90, but who knows how
much of the manners of each is caused
by the strength of his biceps?
There is nothing in the Teuton
junker's nature that makes him a
bully. If he staggered through life
with a chip on his shoulder before the
sad days of 1914, it was because he
believed he could lick the world.
Who expects five-ton truck to ex
hibit exquisite road manners? The
truck can dominate the highway, and
the driver knows it. 1t isn't in human
nature to be gentle IL one has the
whip hand.
Give the average man authority.
civil or military. and he wastes little
courtesy on those of lower rank.
There are gentle folk who, for
pride's sake, preserve their good man
ners under all circumstances, but
these are relatively few.
The average man is well hammered
because discretion counsels him. The
voice he uses to drive out book agent
isn't the one he employs when he Is
trying to sell you something. .-Balti-

Bayard will be candidate to succeed
himself in 1928. A statement to this
effect was made in response to inquiry
made last week. In making an af-
firmative reply to the question, the
senator made the following statement:
"Many of my friends here in Della

been asking me whether | would be
a candidate to succeed myself in the
election in 1928, and under the cir
cumstances, l feel that / should make
answer to this question in a public
manner.

performing my duties as senator, TO
have been of considerable assistance
to many of the citizens of Delaware,
and at all times l have cheerfully rem
dered service, regardless of any po-
litical afficiation. From a party point
of view, | am satisfied that my pro-
cedure and votes in the Senate have at
all times been in strict consonance
with the doctrines of the Democratic
party. and thoroughly satisfactory to
the Democracy of Delaware.

thus far during my term of office, my
performance of official duties has met
with such a generous approval and
having such approval, | feel amply
warranted in now stating that ! snail

her way back to the car
1t had been no more than 10 minutes,
but DR.. Brent was already outside.
He stood staring at the hills, his face
serene and thoughtful.

she had humor. and she laughed a

I'm going to tell you about that in

are we'll enough to go first TO see the
Fowlers."
THE Fowlers lived in frame house
entirely surrounded by a vegetable
garden, in which phloX and zinnias
flourished, too. There was a fence,
and DR.. Brent opened the gate for her.
Then he said:
I'm going to let YOU go in alone. if
you don't mind.

Yes. a'am." said Martha, and she
left the room.
A minute later she returned. THE

family tomorrow. Lady didn't give
her name.

THE afternoon post brought her two
letters. One was from the steam
ship company to whom. before she
knew of the condition of her legacy,
she had applied for information on
tours. These she pored over forlornly
bright seas. sunny terraces, palms
and peaks. Instead of these, now she
should sit here in the long chair, play
bridge in close rooms, follow up her
charities, visit the Fowler family
The other letter concerned the Fow-
Ter family Il was from the district
head of the charity organization So

Eve are counting on you TO look after
the Fowlers. You recall that there are
five of them-mother, two little boys,
an invalid girl and a crippled father
The family must be held together, If
possible, and we have assigned them
to you. Do let us know If YOU can
assume
Miss Sibley crossed the room to her
white desk. The note which she wrote
was brief and kindly: She was not
well and it would be impossible for her
to assume this responsibility. She
hoped
And SO on She went back TO her
chair and closed her eyes. Her head
was pounding. her throat felt swollen,
her hands were family trembling.
II hope she thought, Il haven't

At 4 o'clock she heard the bell. That
would be Paul Matthews. Their last
walk together, Viola had said. Well
Viola had come TO her senses. That
was enough.
Then, seeing a. dash of rain on her
window and blue glitter of lightning
Miss Sibley ran down precipitately to
the living room and lay down on the
sofa, against what she hoped was the
lightning proof wall.
She dozed. and woke to the murmur
of voices and the patter of rain. She
lay hearing all far off and formiess
until a single sentence 1eaped:
"She doesn't know what love is.
1t was a mans voice. Viola's voice
answered:

One part of Miss Sibley's mind in
quite orderly fashion, understood that
the rain had driven them back from
their walk and that they We're in the

But the rest of her mind was racing
violently about, contending with itself,
