of the postmaster general.
And II Toughie hears q cat out
doors and makes IA wild rush for the
door, and if his mistress. Mrs. New.
enters the room. Toughie puts on the
brakes, stands aside like perfect
little gentleman, permits his mistress
to precede as ranking member, and
trusts that by the time a mere dog
can get out, the cat will still be there
Rank Means Everything

OF the animal kingdom suffering
from precedence in Washington.
Rank is part of the very fiber of

Even Servants Want Rank
Servants only take jobs in the
homes of those lower in rank when
they cannot get anything better, and
there IS always something better IN

rms matter of seating and leaving
and standing according to rank
causes all kinds Of difficulties. A
certain woman. for instance, had in
ylted three senator's wives and Mrs.
woodrow Wilson to musicale. After
the invitations had gone she discov-
cred that there were but three front
seats in the box. 1t was impossible
to choose the two to sit in front with
Mrs. Wilson, SO the lady cancelled the
party.
What to DO
Ever since a Mrs. Key Pittman
went home from a party because she
was seated wrong, and then cam

gressional club and the Senate Lad.

But these little booklets forget to

case, for instance, which is most
every case.
What to do, for instance, about
Alice Longworth. who ranks several
ways. One thing is demanded for
the daughter of former president,
another for the wife Of the sneaker

ing any possible doubt that the vase
had been the instrument Of death.
"Are YOU able to fix, approximate
~. within few minutes, mean, the
time of DEATH" Banning asked, and
every ear in the courtroom was
strained for the answer. Upon his
answer Cherry's very life might de-
pend.
by certain tests, which I will de-
scribe if you so direct, fixed the
time of death at approximately one
half hour before my arrival, that is,
at approximately eight forty or eight
forty-five. though it is possible that
death took place as early as eight
thirtyfive.'
By not flicker Of an eyelash did
Cherry betray fear or surprise at
this fixing Of the time of death so
that it conceded with her confessed
visit to Ralph Cluny's bedroom. BY
her own admission, she had asked
Chris Wiley the time when she had
stepped into his coupe, parked in the
driveway close to the house, and had
learned the hour to be nineteen min
utes of nine.
"Your witness. Mr.. Churchill"
Banning smiled triumphantly. as if
his case was clinched
TOMORROW: Churchill does his
best to shake the testimony of the
medical expert and scores with the
jury.
