She Married An Average Man

BY ZOB BECKLBY

When I heard Jim's key in the lock i tonight my mind was absolutely made up to tell him about Eric Sand9 that he is coming, that he is apt to be here any day. Alas for my good intention! I should have carried it out sooner, for Jim came home ill Really ill. It frightened mo to see him. Have I been blind that I did not realize he had more than a cold, and I knowing that the dread flu is stalking abroad, striking down people everywhere! His face was flushed, his eyes bearing that unnatural wild brightness that warns of delirium. His shoulders were stooped, his walk that of an old man. I was struck to the heart with contrition. 1 had not noticed "I'm a little out of commission, pussykin," said my poor old Jim, almost apologetically. My face burned with shame. Here

I have been engrossed with my work, and mooning over love and love af fairs and love philosophy and love possibilities Oh, I felt disgusted with my selfishness, and utterly conscience stricken. I tried all evening to make my care of Jim speak for me. He is very quiet, but he watches me with a strange persistence. His eyes follow me about the room. When I go far off he calls, but when I come he seems to want nothing except to have me there. It must be his illness, but it makes me vaguely uncomfortable. "Jimmie, dear," I said, after the doctor had gone and things had quieted down, "there's nothing worrying you, is there? You're not chafing at being away from the office a litle while, or on account of bills or or anything else?" "They were fine at the office." Jim

answered. "Told me to stay away as long as I needed, and that if I wanted any money it'd be all right" The answer satisfied me. I didn't notice it was Incomplete. Jim turned his face away, closed his eyes and apparently dropped into a dose. I sat by the lamp darning a neglected sock and thinking. We were to have gone to Athena Hast's tonight. She said she was giving a "surprise party." I phoned over that Jim was sick and the serv

ant said Mrs. Hast was out, but she'd give the message. Therefore when our telephone rang I was not at all surprised. I expected to hear Athena's brisk voice expressing regret and sympathy. Instead I heard a man. "Are you there?" said a deep baritone. The question sounded odd to

me. "This is Mrs. Salsbery, and I I'm at home," I answered; "who is speaking some one at Mrs. Hast's?" There was a slight pause, which annoyed me. "Yes," said the man; "some one who wants to talk about London with you." "Eric Sands!" I must have shouted it. There was anuneasy movement as if Jim had turned suddenly in his bed. Without knowing what I did I clapped the receiver down on the hook, cutting off the speaker and awakening myself to my own confusion. "Don't treat him rudely," I heard Jim pay. I rushed to his room. "Kric Sands is in New York." My voice sounded even and composed. "Yes," said Jim, in a faint tone. "I knew it." (To be continued.)

uiULkvii uii bninw NEW PARTY BEFORE EARLHAM STUDENTS

"The Committee of 48" was the subject of an address by Herbert S. Bigelow, pastor of the People's church of Cincinnati, before the chapel assembly at Earlham college, W7edneraday morning. Mr. Bigelow explained that a provisional committee called the Committee of 48, because representing all states of the Union, was to assemble

in St. Louis the first week in December to agree on a program and effect a permanent political organization. It is to be an organization of constructive liberalism, which will aim to represent those who are not adequately represented by existing parties. "Some," said Mr. Bigelow, "who go to St. Louis will be bent on the formation of a new political party. A new political partv, whether wise or not,

seems inevitable. Organized labor seems headed in the direction of independent political action. A new party may serve only to make another d-i vision in the ranks of those who agree on policies, and who ought to seek political co-operation and unity. "At any rate, one of the plans to be presented to the St. Louis convention of the Committee of 48, is a novel suggestion which is meeting with instant favor in labor and other circles. Some in their enthusiasm say that the proposed plan is the most constructive and important idea now before the American people. It is predictc-d for it that it will speedily work out a profound and happy change in our

My daughter, wouldst thou gain a man's ear? For, verily, verily, as surely as the lamb after Mary, as surely as the soup after the oyster, and the fish after the boup, so surely will his heart follow after it

Behold, if thou but learnest to ring the changes upon the adverb, "how", not one man shall escape thee! For this little word is the magic key which unlocketh the way to every man's vanity. Hear then, the fifty-seven variations of the wise maiden's prayer, which chanteth unto the man of her heart's desire, "How wonderful!" "How didst thou ever think of that!" "How well we keep step together!" "How distinguished thou lookest In evening clothes!" "How much thy profils resembleth Napoleon's! (or Bushman's- or Southern's!" "How hard thou workest- how much too hard!" "How is it thou never hast thought of becoming an actor? ( Denoting beauty.) Or an author? (Denoting genius) Or a lawyer?

"How sweet of you!" "How could she treat thee so?" "How generous thou art!" "How thou must suffer!" "How shall I do this-or that-or the other!" "How didst thou ever accomplish so much!" "How different thou art from other men!" "How much thou hast seen of life!" "How well thou understandeth me!" "How similar are our ideas and how congenial our tastes!" My daughter, ask me not why the reiteration of the word-of-three-letters is as the song of the Lorelei unto masculine ears, luring them into the whirlpool of love onto the roofs of matrimony.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson I am a girl 14 years old. I am in my second semester of high school. I do not have nice clothes and you know how some of the girls do who have nice clothes We have a large family. My brother who is 3 years older than I, works and my father works now but will soon have to quit as he has tuberculosis. As high as living is now, brother and he can hardly make "both ends meet". Shall I go on to school or shall I quit and go to work. Of course I couldn't help a great deal but I am willing to do my part. Thanking you for your good advice. A Poor Little Girl. I am very sorry for you and wish you could go on to school, as an education is one of the greatest assets you can have. Since your father is ill. I believe the best thing for you to do would be to go to work. But one thing

that you should do, is to arrange to

(Copyright. 1919. by The Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.) ANGELA Angel-like is the translation of An

gela, from the Greek angelos, meaning i

messenger which the Romans inter

preted as "heavenly" the Byzantine Empire. It is believed to have b"gun as an epithet since it comes to light in Konstantinos Angelos, a young man of noble family whose beauty caused him to be the choice of the Princess Theodora Komnea in 1100. Because of the beauty of the family, Angelos became its surname. The misdirected Crusade of the Venetians brought it to Greece and a monastic saint who preached at Palerno and was afterward murdered by a wicked count whose evil deeds he had rebuked, was one of the first to bear the name. The Carmelites, claimed St. Angelo as a saint of their order and the name in both its masculine and feminine forms, caught the fancy of Italy. It became popular in other nations, due perhaps to its inseparable association with beauty, and also to the fashion of complimenting women as angels. The derivative Angelica is noted in romance as the faithless lady for whose sake Orlando lost his heart

political methods, do away with the need of third parties, and enable people, without deserting their party, to co-operate effectively to accomplish their commondesires. Propose Uniform Law. It is proposed that a uniform law be

enacted in all 48 states, providing a way by which people may at any time have a direct vote on any question of national legislation. This could be done very easily by state laws and

without waiting for a Federal amendment. This proposed state law would permit the people of any congressional district, on a 10 per cent petition, to cause any question to be placed on the ballot at any regular election. It would provide for the submission of questions at a special election on petition of a larger number of signatures, say 20 per cent of the voters. In this manner a direct vote could be had on the Plumb plan of railroad control, the government ownership of mines, or any other question which is or which may become of absorbing in

terest to the public. Without an amendment of the Federal constitution such popular votes

would not be legally binding on congressmen. But the law could make the moral obligation so strong that it would be almost as good as a constitutional amendment. Shows Effect of Law. For instance, the law could provide that before the names of candidates for congress could be printed on the ballot, a statement should be required declaring categorically whether the candidate docs or does not agree to abide by any such vote which may be taken in his district. The obligation could be made even stronger by providing that the statement of the randidai" must be printed conspicuously immediately above his name on the ballot. This would establish a leeal method

by which the voters might instruct their senators or representative in congress. Suppose, for instance, it were proposed to settle labor disputes and stabilize industrial conditions by taking the railroads and the mines out of the hands of profiteers, and putting theni under control of directors representing the government and the workers, and providing a method of arbitration and profit sharing, so that strikes would become a thing of the

past and the workers made virtually

public. If such a plan were urged by a Republican candidate for congress most Democrats, distrusting the source, would vote their own party ticket; and if a Democrat stood for this policy the Republicans would scorn it. But if such a proposal could be well thought out and presented directly to the voters at a general or special election, party prejudice would be eliminated. Men are very loath to Ohange their parties, but if it were possible to vote on issues, people would often vote together while in

voting for men and parties they are hopelessly divided. What Chance Has It? What is the chance of getting such a uniform law enacted in the 4S states of the union? The chance is excellent at least in nearly half of the states, for in 20 states such a law could be brought to vote by the constitutional initiative and passed by direct vote of the people. There is likely to be a concerted action in these states to plan such a measure in the ballot for a direct vote in November, 1920.

Such a measure, if placed on the I

WORK IS RUSHED FOR FAIR OPENING

Although the returned service men of Richmond had a celebration Monday night, the real celebration for former soldiers, sailors and marines will come next week, at the service men's indoor fair, to be held at the

of Alda. However, Angelica obtained

that character for beauty which has made the name popular through the centuries. It has been a particular favorite with authors through all ajjes of literature, particularly in mid-Victorian fiction, where its heritage of fragile, virtuous beauty fitted it exceptionally for the name of its heroines. Angela, from time immemorial has been applied to the fluffy, youthful, unsophisticated type with curly hair and wide innocent blue eyes. The French call her Angelique and Angeline. England has evolved the derivative Angelot. Angiola, Angioletta and Angioleta are the Italian forms: the Teutonic versions are En-

SERVICE MEN HOLD FROLIC FOR NOV. 1 1

Although no plans had been made prior to Tuesday, approximately 200 former service men made merry through the business district of tha city Tuesday night. Led by the city band, and a banner announcing the Service Men's Fair to be held next week at the Coliseum, the paraders formed at Fourth and Main streets, and marched east to Eleventh. Returning to the court house the men formed in a long line, and proceeded to wind back up Main street in a snake dance. All along the line of March tho streets were filled and traffic was stopped completely as the line marched in front of automobiles, street cars and interurbans. Afte.one snake dance along Main 6treet, the men went to the residence of Mayor Zimmerman, and at their request, the Mayor led another march up the street. Practically all of the men were in uniform, and various forms of noiso making devices, and plenty of red light attracted attention to the parade.
