Inasmuch as many senators said they voted for the measure because' of the tenor of the ambassador's note, it is considered possible that these votes would rally to the president in the event of a vetc? if such disclaimer were entered. The bill went through the senate at a night session yesterday after a day of debate on amendments affecting the quota provisions.

**tt**«>«i*4>****«**<H>*«>4kU*«d * HOUSECLEANING, t J MEN, AND HAIR S : — si J By THELMA A. MATTHEWS ? (©, 1011, Weetern N«wapap«r Union.) TT WAS the season of budding biossums and —housecleaning. Mrs. Roland, with all the energy of her tidy little soul, was'"chasing dirt." Her happiness was almost too complete to be true, she thought; and she paused in the act of bringing her husband's winter overcoat for its spring airing to uiuse upon the merits of its owner. “Bob is just perfect," «he said softly, with a tender smile. "He’s never cross, never inconsiderate, and never even looks at another woman! Poor Mrs. Ashburton • muet have beeu heartbroken when she discovered that her husband Lad been making love to hla secretary for months.” Mrs. Roland unc6nsciously made a very pretty picture as she stood in the sunshine musing upon husbands in general and one husband In particular. She suddenly realised, however, thut dreaming there would not finish the houwecleanlng, go she roused herself to complete the task of airing her husband's overcoat. She patted It and gazed at It lovingly. • She could remember the first day he had worn it and how splendid ho had looked. Yes. nnd there wna the buttonhole In which she had plsced a late wild rose, In token of her love for him. And then she saw something that made her rub her eyes In doubt; could It be?—but, ye*. It was!- There on her Bob's coat collar wus u long, curling, golden hair! Her throat made n funny, pathetic little sound ns she gingerly picked up the golden strnnd. It glistened like n fiendish thing; It colled about her finger Bke a tiny snake preparing to spring; It acted alive! Good Lord, where did he get thia thing? St aggerlng auaplclons entered her mind. Her heart whispered that she must be reasonable, but she was a woman and —there was that thing In her finger. She pulled at It fiercely, <nst It off and stamped angrily tipott tlie place where she supposed It tn have fallen. With one bound Mrs. Roland was in the house. She flew to her room, flung herself face downward upon her bed. and sobbed her poor. Irrational little heart out. Finally reason suggested that she think with her mind instead of her heart, nnd tlds time she heeded the Suggestion. Thut Bob loved another woman waa evident; for what, otherwise, could a curly golden hair u|«>n his coat signify? She stole a look hPthe mirror ut her shiny black head and said viciously: "Oh. I always knew that he preferred blondes!" But who was the woman? She tried to remember when Bob had la«t worn the coat, but her brain, weary with the mental struggle, refused to aid her. She wns sure of only two things IS the world —that she was very, very unhappy, and that Bob would soon be home to lunch. She dreaded facing him with thia I new kno« ledge In her heart, hut with a woman's eye for the dramatic possl- 1 hllities of the situation, she primed , herself for hsttle. Promptly on the stroke of twelve her husband entered the kitchen and I greedily looked about, nmn-fii’lilon. ■ for signa of luncheon. There were | none. Rob gave u surprised whlatls ind started on a tour of taapectiou. I Ite called, but no cheerful little wlftt' answered He rushed through the lo.use, at last enier.-d their bedroom.' and found his wife, looking charming Put very pale, sitting bolt upright on ihe edge of the bed. She gave him a haughty, disdainful glanre, and maintained her |H>sltlon In spite of hla efforts tn pull her to him in their usual embrace. Finally, he| «ra*e<l that something was acutely | orang. (Being a man. It tisik him all I this time to fin-1 It out!) "What la It. darling? Why don't ‘ jou speak to me? What have I done?” •■Done!" etelahned his wife in a siii'preaaed vnk-e. "You knnw what you've done hotter than 1.7 Just then her love of the dramatic and her resolve to he cold, firm and un>teldlng allpped away like an many sno'vsakea.

"Rob, If you'll tell me the troth. Hl' forgive you. What was that hair doing nn your mat?" She gazed l searehlngty Into hie eyes. Roh ehuckled. "Iteareat. other women are oqt of my line. and. anyway, I never did Ilk* bl-mdes; hut' t've been thinking haiyj. and I guess I ■an explain that hair away.
