Conspicuous among the charming social functions scheduled for the coming week is the pretty afternoon bridge party which will be given Tuesday. June 2, by Mrs. Warren Hill, n. Chicago, nee Miss Edna Bayer, who is the guest of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Bayer at their home on South Eighth street. The affair is complimentary to Miss Sadie Hill, of Chicago, who is alo a guest at the Bayer home. A number of the former friends ol Mrs. Hill will enjoy the function. A beautiful garden party will be ghen this evening on the lawn at the home of President and Mrs. Robert L. Kelly, on Colleue avenue, by the members of the f;reu!ty of the college complimentary to the members of the Freshman-Sophomore classes. The lawn which is very pretty now with its blooming garden flowers will make an attractive setting for the pretty gowns of the women guests. Between forty and fifty faculty members will be in the receiving line. Refreshments will be served. Several young women, members of the classes will preside at the punch bowl. This is one of the most important social functions of the dav. The Indiana libraries of the state are now operating under something over a dozen different laws, and it is to simplify and codify these laws that the Indiana Library Trustees association, the Indiana Library association and the Federation of Womons clubs have appointed committees to act together in bringing this matter before the U gislature. There are at present in this state public libraries. Of these three are lownship libraries under the law of IS."-, two are associations under another law of 1S"2, one a country library under an lS.r2-r3 law. There are five libraries under special laws and six which can hardly be said to be operating under any particular law. Twenty-four libraries are operated by the school board but under live differ- ( ft laws and there are ten school libraries that are open to the public. In 1001, there was passed a law! which was amended in 1903 and 1911 1

j and under which all new libraries are I organized. At present one hundred I and ten libraries are operating under this law, and with some marked exceptions, these are the most live and useful libraries in the state. This law ' with some slight mollifications in details of operation is the one wheih the j appointed committees are to try to j have adopted as a general law. Even ' so short a statement of the facts as ' this must make it apparent that a general uniform law condensed into a reasonable amount of space 'on the ! statute book is highly desirable. Other reforms to be incorporated ; into this law will, it is hoped, be a ; provision for one incorporated town to join with another in supporting a pub- ; lie library, a provision making it possible for a township in another county ; to join with a town to maintain a library, and provisions for the estabj lishment and development of county libraries. j There are at present ten counties in j Indiana in which there are no public j libraries. Several of these counties are too poor or to small to support more than one good library and ther j is need of a law making it possible for a county library system with a main library in the county seat and j branches or deposit stations throughi out. the townships in the county, j Every person who realizes the importance of the library in the education of the people should take interest in this proposed bill and lend all posi sible assistance to obtain its passage. !

Married Life the Fourth Year

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER. "Dear Mrs. Stevens: Have just called you up, but maid says you will not be in until evening. We have decided to keep the lavallellere. Warren will send you a check for the hundred and fifty dollars today or tomorrow. It was veiy ucai m j.,a to give us this opportunity. Will see you soon. Hurriedly, HELEN L. CURTIS. Was the note too short? Had the said enough? And would the tremulous writing betray her? Helen was determined that Mrs. Stevens should not know she had lost the pearl, and that they were paying for the pendant only because they could n ot return it. After a sleepless night, s'.ie had been up at dawn searching the apartment for the pearl. She had eaten no break fast, and even Warren had merely sipped his coffee in glum, forbidding silence. He had told her to 'phone or write Mrs. Stevens that he would send the check. "No use putting it off," grimly. "Since we've got to take our medicine, we'll take it now. But the next time we've any business dealings with friends" "Warren, we must be fair enough to admit it wasn't Mrs. Stevens's fault," Helen faltered. "She was only giving us an opportunity to buy it at the priceit had been offered to her. Surely, she's not to blanv." To this Warren had not deigned an answer. After he had gone, even though she had a wretched sense ofthe futility of her search, Helen kept on looking. Again and again she examined the pendant on which the pearl had hung. It must have been loose or it could not have come off so easily. In spite of herself, Helen was conscious of a feeling of resentment toward Mrs. Stevens and of a positive animosity toward Mrs. Barclay the woman who had sought to raise money by selling her jewelry. There seemed a wretched fatality to the whole chain of events. I fonly they had not dined at the Stevenses last evening, or if Mrs. Barclay had not left the jewel there that afternoon! Oh, her head whirled with this constant thinking! THE LETTER MAILED. Reluctantly she mailed the letter. As she saw the white envelope flutter down the glass chute in the hall, Helen knew it meant a hundred and fifty dollars for nothing. For the platinum setting, with its tiny diamonds, was worth very little compared to the pearl. Warren had strongly doubted the genuineness of the pearl, that was why they were to have it valued today. Now he said they were paying a hundred and fifty dollars for a fake pearl! All morning Helen had been haunted with the thought of De Maupassant's "The Necklace." In this story the woman had lost her friend's pearl nesklace, and for twenty years both she and her husband slaved and starved to save the money to pay for it. And only to find in the end that the pearls had not been real, but merely a cheap composition! The best of their lives had been wasted by this hideous mistake. It was consoling to think how much more overwhelming had been that tragedy. Yet the thought of paying a hundred and fifty dollars for a lost pearl that might not have been genuine Tlvnrist drove Helen frantic. She was sitting on the floor by the nsMBHIMsMsaBSWBsVlT caul fx i,

bookcase, yielding to a morbid desire to reread "The Necklace," when Nora came In, her face aglow. "Will you come here a minute, miss? I've something to show you." Wonderlngly Helen followed her to the kitchen. Nora had just emptied the carpet sweeper, the matted dust and lint lay on a newspaper o nthe table. FOUND! "Is that what you're looking for, miss?" pointing almost fearfully to something embedded in the dust. It was the pearl! Helen caught it up with a hysterical sob of relief. The next moment she flew in to the phone to call up Warren. "Oh, we've fornd it we found it! Nora found it in the carpet sweeper. Now we can return it. I don't want to keep it! I've always heard pearls were tears and now I believe it." "Have you phoned Mrs. Stevens?" demanded Warren. "She wasn't in but I've written her." "Mailed the letter?" "Yes, but does that matter?" anxiously. "What did you say?" "What you told me to that you'd send the check today or tomorrow." "Then we've got to send it. I'm not going back on my word. Go down and have the thing valued and we'll see how much we're stuck." Helen was filled with a feeling of revulsion against the whole transaction. Th woman had told Mrs. Stevens the lavalliere could at any time be pawned for $150! Then why not pawn it and get the money? Mrs. Stevens need never know. She could always make some excuse for not wearing it. Only once before had Helen ever been in a pawn shop. But now she nerved herself for the ordeal. She had heard of one that was supposed to be very reliable. And an hour later found her entering this place with a shrinking timidity and aversion that she could not conceal. Inside it was much like any jeweler's Except for the three gilded balls over the door, there was little to suggest a pawn shop. The clerk who came forward to wait on her saw her embarrassment and was most tactful. A FAKE. "How much did you want on this?" he asked, although Helen had not said a word, but merely handed him the case. "A hundred and fifty dollars," she faltered. He looked up quickly. "Why, it's not worth anythins like that." "I was told it cost four hundred." He shook his head and examined it under a glass. "Why, isn't it real?" Helen leaned forward anxiously. "Isn't that a real pearl?" "The lining of an oyster shell is real pearl," he answered quietly. "There are countless grades of pearls. An Oriental pearl of this size and color would be worth over a thousand

dollars, but this is just an ordinary American pearl and has very little value. The value here is la the setting and the workmanship, and we can't loan much on that. Fifty dollars is the most I can give you on it." Helen could hardly restrain a cry of dismay. "Do you wish to leave It?" "No, no, thank you," choked Helen, "ril I'll not leave it." She took the car back home, now almost as wretched as she had been when she thought the pearl was lost. She kne' they would have to pay for it, for Warren would never go back on his word. Then she reached the apartment. Nra opened the door, her face still beaming with pride at having been the one to find the pearl. "There's a letter for you on the desk, miss,'' she announced. Helen took It up listlessly. Then she saw it was from Mrs. Stevens. Her tremulous fingers tore it open. "Dear Mrs. Curtis: I wonder if you will think me a very changeable and capricious person when I say that after all I'd like to keep the lavalliere myself. I've been thinking It over and wish' now to have my diamond pendant set into a ring and wear this as a lavalliere. henry is willing to get it for me, and he may not be again in so generous a mood. Of course if your heart is set on it, I wouldn't want to disappoint you But I'm hoping you are still undecided and that you won't mind letting roe keep it. I'll come by tomorrow morning. As ever, EMILY STEVENS. The varied emotions of the day had been too much for Helen, and now she sank limply on the couch staring at the letter. The wave of almost hysterical rf was tempered by her anxiety for MrY. Stevens. She must not let tier o.. this! She must tell her that it was not worth what 6he thought. She went to the phone only to find that Mrs. Stevens was still out, and that the maid did not expect her until six. It was quarter of six when Warren came, and Helen rushed to him with the letter and her excited, happy explanations. "Now you just fire that back and say nothing! We can't be guardian tc everybody who wants to throw away their money. We've had enough trouble with this darned thing without getting into any further mix-up." "But, dear, I must tell her," persisted Helen. "Why it wouldn't be fair to let her buy it without telling her." "Why wouldn't it? Didn't ask you for any valuation, didd she? She won't tuank you for it, either. She's made up her mind she wants this geegaw and Stevens 1b willing to get it for her. So it's not up to you to interfere. You've blamed lucky to get out of it now STAY out! Understand?"
