restaurant where she and Vincent
had dined on the night of that
horrible air raid. She traced the
few steps from the square and
stopped in front of it. unmindful
of the jostle Of people in the noon
hour crowd. Generously she peered
in. The restaurant was gay with
luncheon guests.
She retraced her steps to Char
ing Cross road and past the Ma

ed and sandbagged.
She had forgotten that she was
Anna Winters. She had forgotten
that she, Mary Carroll, was sup
posed to be dead, a victim Of the
sinking of the Moravia.
1t was as if this strange desire
to see Vincent was driving her on,
without any volition of her own.
She had forgotten the twisted
cheek, the shah by, ill-fitting
clothes. Reflected in her rapt face
was the expression of one who
awaits a miracle.
Back in the square, she walked
to the street where Vincent had
had lodgings. She would go down
the street, just for sight of the
roomy, gray stone house where he
lived
Before it, courage ebbed. She
turned back, to the protection of a
doorway of tobacconist's shop.
Perhaps Vincent had long since
left this neighborhood. Perhaps he
was not even in London.
Something made her turn to the
kindly old man in skull cap be-
fore the tobacco counter. Before
she knew it, she had spoken.
Does a young American named
Vincent Gregg still live at the
lodgings across the street? ?" she
asked.
You mean that dso m e
young man with the scar across
his forehead ?"
Mary nodded eagerly. yes

on, "he buys his cigarets here. Al

I stock specially for him. He was
in this morning"
Thanks very much" Mary
stepped outside quickly. Her mind
was made up. She was going to
see Vincent at any cost. If he

happened. How foolish she had

How Certain Wedding Hours
Became Customary
Dear Mrs. Post: Why il 1t that
The largest and most fashionable
weddings always seem to take
place at noon, at four in the after
noon, and at eight O'Clock in the
evening?
Answer: don't know why. ex-
cept that these times more than
likely developed through being
found most practical. At a noon
breakfast is at 1890. and
men who leave their offices to 60
to lunch might be able to get to
the wedding. Or perhaps they can
take a half day off. A reception
at five also means men can get
there after business. Moreover,
the late afternoon reception does
not interfere with anyone's engage
ments for dinner and the evening.
In the south, the reason for an
evening wedding is obviously to
escape the heat Of the day.

Corrupt Practices Act.
There is on the statute books of
the United States an act known as
the Federal Corrupt Practices Act,
which carries certain penal statutes
and provisions pertaining to special
and general elections, as dis
tinguished from primary elections.
Under the provisions of this act,
treasurers of political committees
must file on stated dates a detailed
statement of receipts and expendi-
lures for any candidates. as to date
received, source of contribution, and
the use of such funds. A political
committee is defined in the act as
including "any committee, associa-
tion, or organization which accepts
contributions or makes expenditures
for the purpose of influencing or at
tempting to influence the election Of
candidates or presidential and vice
presidential electors in two or more
States, or whether or not in more
than one State If such committee,
association, or organization is a
branch or subsidiary OF a national
committee, association, or organiza-
ton, other than a regular party
committee" There is no limit in
the Federal statute as to the total
amount which may be expended in a
presidential or a vice presidential
candidacy.
Section 306 of the Corrupt
Practices Act provides that every
person who makes an expenditure
other than by contribution to a poll
tical committee aggregating $50 or
more within one calendar year for
the purpose of influencing the elec-
ton Of candidates in two or more
States, shall also file an intemized
detailed statement in the same
manner as political committee.
This same act requires every can
didate for the United States Senate
to file with the secretary of the
Senate on certain specified dates a
particularly itemized account Of all
contributions, expenditures of funds,
or the use of any influence what
ever by way of promise or pledge to
any persons, or made by others in
his behalf with his knowledge to
influence his candidacy. The same
act expressly limits the amount that
can be expended in a general or
special election by a candidate for
United States Senator to a sum of
$4,000, or, I quote: "An amount
equal to the amount obtained by
multiplying the total number of
votes cast at the last general election
for the same Office by 3 cents, and in
no event exceeding the sum of $25, 600
If a candidate for Senator, or 5000
II q candidate for Representative or
Territorial Delegate" It will be
noted that this limitation on sena-
torial candidate expenditures does
not pertain to expenses incurred in

ton In connection with any election
ct which President and vice presi-
Dental electors, or Q Senator or .
Representative, are voted for, and
also 1t Is unlawful for any candidate,
political committee, or other person
to accept or receive the contribution
prohibited by this section. A viola
ton Of this provision carries q
penalty both Of hne and imprison-
ment.
Last year the Congress Of the
United States passed q very Inn
portant measure, generally known as
the Hatch Act. The purpose of this
act was to supplement. and in some
cases to re-assert, the provisions of
the Federal Corrupt Practices Act
with view to closing some of the
doors which experience has de-
termined to have been left open in
connection with the conduct OF our
elections under the provisions Of that
act.
Two provisions of the Hatch Act,
known as section 2 and section 9, I
believe am justified in quoting
verbatim on this occasion.
Section 2 states:
1t shall be unlawful for any
person employed in any admin
istrative position by the United
States. or by any department,
Independent agency, or other
agency of the United States
dncluding any corporation con-
trolled by the United States or
any agency thereof, and any
corporation all of the capital
stock of which is owned by the
United States or any agency
thereof, to use his official au-
thority for the purpose Of inter-
| fering with or affecting the
election or the nomination of
any candidate for the office of
President, Vice President, presi-
Dental elector, member Of the
Senate, or member Of the House
Of Representatives, delegates, or
commissioners from the terri
tories and insular possessions.
Section 9 states:
| 1t shall be unlawful for any
person employed in the executive
branch Of the Federal Govern
ment, or any agency or depart
ment thereof, to use his ofIicial
authority or influence for the
! purpose OF interfering with an
