Rogers Explains About Election
Support of Local Celebrities Killed
Chances of Both Candidates in Some
States-Hoover and Smith Should
Have Gone to Europe.

speeches for Smith. That killed
Smiths chances right there. What he
should have done was to come out for
Hoover If he wanted to help Smith.
And there was a lot of them like
that In lots of other States. LaFollette
was afraid to come out for either one,
so he just stayed neutral and elected
himself. Ritchie swung Maryland to
Hoover by coming out for Smith.
Mayor Walker had no trouble carry
ing New York State and New jersey
for Hoover. the only two he spoke in
He was billed for a speech in Boston,
but he got a bad cold in time to save
Massachusetts, for Smith. My good old
friend, Uncle Josephus Daniels, of
Raleigh, N. c.. sub, it took quite awhile
for him to make up his mind but when
he did it was in favor of Hoover. He
on account of no prominent men COM
ing out for him, went for Smith.
Pat Harrison, by speaking in New
York all during the campaign, saved
Mississippi for Smith. Jim Reed had
no trouble whatever swinging Missouri
for Hoover by his campaigning for
Smith. From the early returns it looked
like Carter Glass must have been for
Hoover, for Smith got all the best OF
it, but 1t finally dawned on us that he
had been for Smith when the ultimate
result was announced. Vermont went
for Coolidge to man, till Noon, when
it was explained to them that he wasent
running, then they voted for Hoover fol
consolation.
New York. the State that is always
telling the others about Progress, this
is written two weeks after election and
their returns haven't come in yet. All
the primitive States were in by 9 o'clock
election night. They sent 100 Lawyers
upstate to see about the counting CT
the votes. Can you imagine, 100 law
y2rs? Why. two Lawyers can make a
jcandal out Of anything they have any
thing to do With-l00 will bring on C
Revolution.
Course Smith can't blame all tn
damage on these Guys. He carried every
State in the South that he dident &C
into but Texas and Florida.
And it was the same with Hoover. th2

beginning of December just as the sea-
son of parties and dances was COM
mencing Again Simone plunged into
gayety with indefatigable zest and
seemingly untiring strength. She would
wake up about lunch time, after dane

small, hard rosebud. Nothing seemed
to be too much trouble to go to, If it
promised to be good party. And in

she explained, but he's generally there,
ii you don't. He has the most tactleSS
way of haunting the room I'm sitting
out in; it's really sickening."
Of course, the care he took of her
pleased Mrs Bullivant, who, since she
seldom saw her beloved child for more
than a moment, liked to be assured of
her well-being; but he was never much
at their house, for most of the time,
when not occupied by taxing Simone
over that wretched invention"
One night, after dance at Grass
lands, they noticed that, though the

had dropped about Is degrees, from
freezing to around 16 above zero in the
s hours that had elapsed since they ar
rived there for dinner. Simone shivered.
She was wearing a gold-cloth wrap
trimmed with red fox, but, as it was
not warm, the piercing cold, after the
warm dancing room, cut through and
through here.

pleasure in making what the children
of England take pleasure in breaking"
This had always seemed foolish jingle
when repeated to her as child, but
now she smiled a slightly malicious
smile and enjoyed its sentiment i'm
mensely. The end of the week found
Jimmie beginning long convalescence,
shaved and propped up in bed with two
pillows. The model of the launch was
almost restored to its original con-
dition.
Improved, isn't it?" she asked.

emeralds are better than diamonds,

Mary Jane, busy with the turle-back
of the toy, nodded.

She looked up.
What yacht, and where are you go

'Oh, the Macedonia is obviously pref

if we took the yacht, something would
happen to the engines and you'd go
down with hairpin and a tube OF glue
and insist on fixing it up"
There is, as said, no reason to pity
Mary Jane In fact. Simone is a much
more touching figure now. For. when
her hasty marriage to the impecunious
count showed signs of falling to pieces,
Mary Jane put 1t together again.
Jimmie gave Humberto (Simone'S
husband) Job at the place where they
build yachts, and Silnone has to live In
one of those nice, suitable, little houses,
with nice, suitable, little car. near a
nice, little country club with a big
membership.
Jane, for Jimmie curtails her name
to that, on the other hand, is always
playing round the places Simone longed
to grace, the Lido, Paris and st. Moritz.
because Jimmie is necessarily abroad a
good deal. designing yachts for rich
American expatriateS.
She has, in fact, picked up certain
distinction of style, and now that Worth
makes all her clothes. she resembles one
of those placidly wicked ladies IN
Holbein portraits, with fair hair and
very red lips.
Sometimes she gives Simone a lift
into New York in her car. when Simone
has household errandS, or Is taking an
armful of French chiffon stockings to a
little shop on Madison avenue where
they darn them so beautifully. And
Simone, who always meant to throw
her stockings away after one wearing,
looks bitterly at her sisters capable
hands and calls to the French chauf-
feur. "Je veux aller au stoppeur. You
know, Henri. the invisible mender'S!"

This remark annoyed Simone.
How do you expect to keep any So

can I manage to keep one?"

All this time there was something
obviously worrying Jimmie. Finally,
when he returned to perfect conscious

managed to speak to Mary Jane
about it.

It's smashed you say. Well, I'll go

said.
She discovered it covered with a
bureau scarf still standing on a card
table in the sitting room. 1t looked
very much smashed indeed.
He directed her to bring it in next
his bed, so that he could see it and
find out If 1t was possible to mend 1t.
But, on viewing the remnants, he be-

gently studying the blue print for some
time, she set to work, and finally
glued and pieced together some of the
broken parts. The headway made In
two hours of work seemed almost
negligible, but 1t appeared to quiet

several prescriptions to take around to
the drug store. She seemed to get a
certain amount. of enjoyment out of Mr..
Claibourne's illness, and put on her hat
again with gusto.
Mary Jane was left staring at jim

bed and tried to push the covers away.
He was almost delirious.
She appeared to annoy him. He kept
telling her, "You go away" and then
he'd explain that he put his coat
around some one, because he was as
hot as blazes She began to understand
how he had contracted pneumonia.

"All in little pieces" he whispered at
the ceiling, Tiny little pieces"
What is it?" she asked.
But he only said again, "You go

Mary Jane, assisted by Begonia,
stayed there till 7:30, when the doctor
arrived with the nurse. Jimmie had
grown more used to Mary Jane by
then. and watched her fixing ice-bagS
for his burning forehead with strained,
pain-racked eyes. In fact. when the
nurse took charge and Mary Jane
started to go, with sigh of relief, he
began to make fuss.

She promised.
At quarter of eight she unlocked the
front door of her house and walked in,
after an absence of six hours. Mrs. Bull

Its all over town that you've been
