After her painful but ultimately
satisfactory interview with Mrs.
Lundy, which had resulted in Faiths
giving her almost perfect cook-house-
keeper a two weeks notice. Faith
dressed herself hurriedly, telephoned
to her sister-in-law, Fay Lane, to
make sure that her brother and her
father would both be at the Myrtle
Street house for lunch, then set out
by street car for her brothers home.
The shabby, rambling old house in
which she had passed her childhood
and girlhood was so changed, inside
and out, that if Faith had not watch
ed the transformation slowly take
place she would not have known It.
Junior, her twenty-two-year-old
brother, who had been so wild" be-
fore his marriage, had painted the
bluish-gray cid house a soft, rich
yellow, trimmed with the crisp cool
green Of midsummer grass. Fay had
planted and tended q multitude OF
flowers so that even in September,
the yard was riotous with blooms.
jim Lane himself had taken great
pride in putting in new cement walks
and driveway for the numbering,
Enthusiastically decorated motor trucl;
in which "Long" Lane peddled his
automobile accessories and supplies.
She found pretty little Fay serv-
ing luncheon, "Long" and his father,
jim Lane, seated at the dining table,
laid with a hand-embroidered linen
cloth OF Fay's making. Faith re-
garded the scene for moment with
cnvious eyes, which took in not only
the da;nt:ness Of her sister-in-law's
table, but the fond, happy expression
on Longs" face, the contentment OF
her father. He had not looked that
way at her table!
"Tickled to death to have you,
Sis" Junior told her sincerely. Fay
loves 20 have a chance to show eft
her cooking. Best little cook in sew
en- counties"
In spite Of Faiths rather strained
auietress, for she loathed that which
she had come to do, the meal was a
gay affair, made SO by Juniors con-
slant, fond teasing Of his cemure lit
tie wife. Again the ache Of envy
throbbed in Faiths heart. If only
Bob treated her her brother treat
ed his wife--as beloved companion,
a sort of child-woman whom he ador-
ed and could not praise enough. Why
were Long" and Fay so happy?
What was the secret Of the success
Of their marriage, for which dire
failure had been predicted by both
Fay's family and his own? Surely

Washington, Sept. 19.-Time was
when one heard considerable crab.
.bing about the predominance Of
Massachusetts, men in the federal
government.
Weeks was secretary Of war.
Lodge was chairman of the Senate
foreign relations committee and Gil.
lett was speaker Of the House.
Now Weeks and Lodge are dead,
Gillet is in virtual retirement in the
Senate and even President Coolidge
himself has started on the way back
toward private life.
Massachusetts isn't getting many
Of the big plums and no other state
seems likely to establish an "olig.
archy" here such as she had at
tanned in the last days Of Murray
Crane. Even Pennsylvania, which is
the most solidly Republican Of al
the very big states, complains fire.
quently at the fact that she doesn't
get much federal patronage simply
because the party she knows needs
no coaxing.
On the other hand, the tendency
to smile upon New York is more and
more reflected in the administra.
tons appointments. Enough Of
these instances have been cited in
previous dispatches to dispense with
any repetition here, but the belief
is constantly strengthened that the
Republican party is doing all it can
to reduce the possibility Of a VIC
torious AL Smith ticket in Novem-
Der, 1928. Hence the play to New
York. The party may not believe
that Smith will be nominated; it
may not believe he can be elected.
But the G. o. P. isn't overlooking
a single bet.

that quiet, demure little person was
not capable of loving Junior as deep
ly, as tenderly, as passionately as
she loved Bob! And Junior himself
was not half the man that Bob
Hathaway was. The boy boasted of
no greater ambition than to make

forced herself to include her sister

Dawes Praises Wilson

(Des Moines ne-CapitaD
Times do change. Not many years ago the very
idea Of Republican vice president praisng Demo-
cratic president and Democratic cabinet member was
prsposterous.
It just untainkable that Democratic office
holder should praise Republicans performance.
Rather, in both instances it expected that there
should be round vituperation and heavy !nvective,
regardless Of the facts. It something less than
formally pro4sue, but in vigor and intent nothing was
lacking.
But comes Vice President Dawes saying that the
country is just beginning to the great service
rendered by "our great war president Woodrow Will
son.. and our great secretary. Newton D. Baker
OF course he il right, but in the old days that
wouldn't have had anything to do with It.
He didn't even quality his praise as many would
