Nancy, who was only five, was

"Why did you get them, mother?'
she asked.
"You see, Nancy, seven years ago

Yes! l cant explain now. Shes been ill. l want you to come, please, and take her to a hospital. Can yogt take her ill your car?

Oh. hurry!'
 It was several minutes before she had sufficient command Of her self to dare return to the scene she had fled. Her husband was still on his knees beside his for mer wife, but now his head was bowed upon his hands, not upon her breast. Iris was speaking, her voice TO longer feeble.
 Look at me, Jack. Oh. you don't dare look at me and tell me you don't love me. That unspeak- able girl has wormed herself into your life, trapped you. I tell you your marriage isn't legal. I'll make the courts annu it-you be- long to me"

Movie Directors Say Lovely Skin Wins

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. Beautiful skin is absolutely necessary for a girls popularity and loveliness," says How ard Higgins, Pathe director, and agrees with leading movie directors. "I don't remember girls ever reaching screen stardom without rarely lovely skin."
 Lima Basquette, Pathe star, knows that there is no charm without lovely skin. She is one of the 442 important Hollywood actresses who keep their skin exquisite with Lux Toilet Soap. "This white, fragrant soap has all the charm of an imported French soap," she says. And it leaves my skin so beautifully smooth!"
 Nine out of ten screen stars use this soap, and all the great film studios have made it the official soap for their dressing rooms.

She might have lnoWn-she told herself with that queer. aloof calm that had descended upon her - that Iris would fight like this. What other weapon had been left to her? Nell-Nan shrugged mentally - it seemed to be a very effective wea- pon. Odd how little pain she felt; just an absorbed, grave curiosity, as if she were looking upon the melo- dramatic second act of drama whose conclusion she could not guess. Her queerly aloof mind elab- oratcd the metaphor: "A modern problem play entitled RIVAL. WIVES. starring Iris Morgan, with a notable cast, including John Curtis Morgan and Nan Carroll Morgan-''
 She felt a smile twist at her lips; wondered "Ah I going crazy? Or am l just having what Iris calls d 'horrid dream'?"
 But if it was a dream her hus- bands voice - or was he Iris hus- band, really? - seemed amazingly real. She listened with grave at tentiyeuess.

 It was not a play any longer. It was bitter reality and happiness was being snatched out of her lax hands Aloof no longer, Nan was swept into the whirlpool of pain and horror mo which Iris return had plunged her husband If she did not do something both Of them would he lost.

SERVICE TO BLESS
COMMUNION SILVER
Memory of Mrs. Charles M.
FfouIke to Be Honored
by Gift.

The blessing of the communion sill
ger placed in Washington Cathedral in
memory of Mrs. Charles NJ. Ffoulke will
be held in the Chapel Of the Resurrec-
ton in the crypt of the Cathedral
Thursday morning at $50 o'clock.
The service, made by Franklin Porter
and his daughter. Miss Helen Porter. Of
Danvers, Mass, consists of six pieces
chalice. paten, box for breads. flacon
and two cruitS. The lines of the chalicC
were inspired from those of the Ice
land Chalice" OF the thirteenth century.
The decoration of the other pieces was
suggested by the architecture of the
taWer of Little Saxham" Church in
Suffolk, England.
An Illuminated writ upon parchment
for the Cathedral records is in prep
aration. 1t reads as follows:
For the celebration of the Holy Eu-
charist and in memory of Sarah Cush-
ing Ffoulke. 1852-1926.
These sacred vessels accompanying
this writ are placed in the Chapel of
the Resurrection in Washington Cathe-
dral as a token of affectionate memory
by a few of her friends in the year of
Our Lord, 1929.
For many years she lived in Wash
1ngton-a churchwoman, having a
lively interest in Christian works. With
faith arising above many Affections,
her garcious hospitality and kindness
made for her a lasting place in the
hearts of many. Her mortal remains
rest with those of her family in ST.
Paul's churchyard, Rock Cerek in this
diocese"
Funds were subscribed for this memo
rial. The first thought was a memorial
in the form OF choir sail, but the
fund was insufficient. Certain COM
munion vessels were needed for use in
the Chapel of the Resurrection, and
therefore, this choice was made.

In the meantime the Senators them
selves, who almost all of them use
their power over the confirmation of
presidential appointees in order to Sc
cure advantages in off1ceholding for
their personal friends and political as
Sociates back in their home States, can
not be draStically blamed. AS long as

that they must get consideration from
him in the officeholding way or else
they feel that he has lost his grip
and has begun to slide downhill DO

him and to seek some other leader
Therefore the Senator is pushed almost
irresistibly onward-and downward
toward demanding political patronage
from the President.

Difficulty for Presidents.
Political patronage continues TO be
one of the great unsolved problems Of
American national good government.
One of the last acts of the last admins
ira ton was to remove from Office one of
the proved best public servants in the
country. Mrs Mabel Reinecke, collector
OF internal revenue at Chicago. Her
record in her office. as shown by the
tests OF investigation and report, was
most unusually good. In the course of
the routine of politics, however, she was
removed in order to make place for
a follower of a Federal politician who
was assumed to have the right to get re-
wards for his followers.
A perpetuation of that sort of thing
would destroy all hope of redeeming the
pledges given by Mr.. Hoover for ad-
vances in Federal administrative ef-
ficiency. On the other hand, unless
that sort Of thing keeps on being done,
Mr.. Hoover will encounter in the SEN
ate an increased opposition to his legis-
lative proposals. 1t is difficult choice
for any President to make, and most
Presidents choose neither one alterna-
tive nor the other completely and per-

This is virtually always 50 unless the
Senator happens to be q progressive
and insurgent and insurrectioniSt to
such a marked degree that he is not
supposed to have any influence at all

constituents that one of his merits is
that he gets no consideration from the

from the patronage standpoint are
those like La Toilette and ShipStead,
