Attend Meeting as Special Guests Although sMen Folks" Had Not Been Told in Advance.

Can a woman keep a secret? ? Somewhere between T5 and 100 Ro- tarians emphatically shouted Yes" This particular group of Rotarians. l which meets at the Burritt hotel every Thursday has had the fact so demonstrated today that there is not the slightest possibility of a doubt left.
 The Rotarians prepared to attend the weekly meeting as usual today, most of them wondering who the speaker was and why he had not been announced previously. A ''sur- prise meeting" had been advertised, but that the surprise would be what it was, would have been declared by most of them as impossible.
 Instead of the usual small tables arranged for eight men. there were several long tables. One one side of each table was seated a number of women. Each woman wore a ging- ham apron and mask.
 The surprised Rotarians gasped with astonishment as they recognized their own wives. whom they thought peacefully at home.
 "We have usurped your meeting, explained Mrs. Leon A. Sprague, wife of the first president and founder of the local club, who acted as spokes- man for the women. "We have wait ed long time for an invitation. and not having reveived any. we have taken matters in our own hands" No one present had been advised I in advance of the plans and from the time the meeting opened until the last speech was made. everything was surprise. even to the speakers. | Rev. w. H. Alderson. chaplain of the club, acted as chairman and announced that fines had been i'm posed upon L. w. Young and How ard Sherman. who had been un- able to locate their own wives, and upon T. P. McAuliffe, who was too embarrassed to find a seat. Willie

Mills has never missed Rotary meeting since the club was organized. January 20, 1920. For seeing that her husband remained faithful to his Rotary ob- legations. Mrs. Mills was presented with a dozen roses.
 Mrs. Frank H. Shield, whose husband is past president. spoke on behalf of the club and present. ed her husband with a red button for giving her one day of peace, recreation and lonesomeness for a solid year.
 A series of questions on Rotary education were asked by Mrs. James H. Robinson and Mrs. George w. Traut and were an- swered by the other women. Some of the questions were embarrass- ing. especially one which asked how Rotarians fool their wives when they say they've been to a meeting and the wives know they haven't. One woman answered that her husband went to Rotary meet ings to get away from home cook ing and to try to sing.
 Vice President Orville F. Parker was congratulated upon having been appointed member of the board of police commissioners.
 Just before the close of the meet ing the women were asked to stand and turn their faces to the wall be- fore the chairman called upon certain member to make the final speech. Johnstone Vance was the surprise speaker, and no one was more surprised than Mir. Vance. The asking of the women to turn their faces away was jokingly signi- ficant of MT. Vance's attendance rec ord, which is said to lead the list when the list is turned upside down. The women were thanked for their presence and invited to come again" A final three cheers and a tiger for the guests and the meet ing closed.
 Among those present were District Governor Alvin Goblin of Hartford,

In the confusion all order was dis

Harding, dressing hastily, had sought

The boats were being lowered, but

THE
DECISIVE
MOMENT
By H. M. EGBERT

r ARDING had watched the girl
- with the brown hair and the
Il sad face ever since the voyage
began. She had two acquaint-
ances, and she spoke to no one else.
He learned that she was a Miss Elsa
Wayne; the man was Count Foscari,
and the whlte-haired woman his
mother And the girl was en- route
to Italy to marry him.
Harding was on his way to Naples,
to take up minor consular post there.
At thirty he was not the sort Of man
to fall In love at first sight. But the
girls face haunted him, apd the ex-
preston Of sadness intimated to him
that the marriage was distasteful to
her.
He tried TO scrape acquaintance with
her, but the two watched her like
hawks. 1t was quite by accident that
he got his chance on the sixth day Of
the voyage.
They were near the Azores. For the
first time the girl was on deck alone.
Harding was a little distance from her
when sudden huge wave, flashing
against the deck, swept her from her
feet. She tsll toward the hpi*arks,
Harding rushed forward and Assisted
her to rise
"You must be more careful" be
warned her. you might have been
swept overheard"
THAT would have been no loss"
she retorted. Al wish I had been"
He reproved her gently. you
should not talk that way" he said.
"You have your life before you. You
are young, and there is much happi-
ness for you"
She turned upon him f1ercely. do
I look happy1" she asked. II tell you,
since my life began have never
known what happiness meant. My
parents are the richest people In New
York"
Harding remembered the fabulous
wealth Of the Waynes. An old family
they kept out of notoriety; 1t was at
the bankers' investigation that
Wayne had coolly anpoiheed himself
to be worth a hundred million.
81 was brought up with the one idea
Of marrying WE'LL" the girl continued.
"Well-I am doing It. Count Foscari
is of the oldest family In Italy. Only
Il told him that II l married him

not endure the mockery of marriage
at home. My parents insisted that ]
should sacrifice my life for them.
have done so-but lose my own
means"
There was an intense bitterness in
her voice. Harding looked at her
aghast. "You had better go below
and change your Clothes" he an
swered quietly.
She turned away scornfully, but
Harding remained on deck thinking of
her for hours.
