Blaine's "‘Twenty Years in Congress,'' published in 1886, and read there this description of the events which followed: *‘The remains of the late President lay in state at the executive mansion for four days. The entire city seemed as a house of mourning. The martial music which had been resounding in glad celebration of the national triumph had ceased; public edifice and private mansion were alike draped with the insignia of grief. ‘Funeral services, conducted by the leading clergymen of the city, were held in the east room on Wednesday, the 19th' of April.

By KATHLEEN HE unluckiest wife in the world isn't, of course, the unluckiest woman. There are thousands of women in this country, and hundreds of thousands in other countries, whose lot is harder than that of Marjorie Mason. There are women in your town and mine who have been fighting poverty all their lives long, living along the boundary line of want, able to give their children only the barest necessities of life, and worrying constantly for fear that those necessities might not be always available. Women who have never known even a few days-a few hours -of luxury and beauty, of plenty and security. Women who have to refuse their small babies the freshness and comfort and safety small babies need; who have to refuse their growing children the toys, the clothes that more fortunate children take for granted; who suffer a thousand deaths as the young men and women of the family demand cars and pocket money and college education as their right. This in America. In Europe and in the Orient the situation is infinitely worse. Civilized Christian countries still see barefoot children begging in winter streets; China knows that every winter a million of her people will starve slowly to death, and a million more fall victims to the diseases that weakness, malnutrition, cold and _ hunger bring. Comparative Misery. So when I speak of the bitter trial that Marjorie Mason has_ been called upon to bear I am treating only of the comparative misery and humiliation that can come to a books, leisure, enough money, good health, and-she says-‘‘a real trust that God will help me through this difficulty if I am wise enough to heed His guidance."' Not much material from which to construct an appeal to your pity, is it? And yet there is no wife alive that won't feel pity for Marjorie when she hears her story. Marjorie is 32; she has been married for nine years to a man she deeply loves. He is a professor, handsome, popular, successful, with a comfortable little income of his own to supplement his salary. The Masons live in a roomy house on a beautiful campus; there are three children in the family; a girl of seven, and boys of five years and one year.

He was exultant over his conquest, and fatuously related to his wife the details of the affair in which the girl's great love had overcome her scruples. - coin and film carefully SCHRAMM-JOHNSON DRUGS#F PHOTO-KRAFT-Box 749 pu asGat $10 in turns Prints Wrap move. the younger take ECONOMY FILM SERVICE Any Roll Developed with 8 Quality Prints - - - - - & . and FINISHING PHOTO-KRAFT to Marjorie. little ‘circle of col- | ferabi mediate cont l Teas ue tae? : s aioe ation of an who watching KODAK Marjorie, the first thing to do is get out, and take the children with you.

For while some of the trials that married women are forced to go through are difficult indeed, many times things could be much worse. But at the same time problems do creep into the homes of families who seem to have apparent security. And so the story of Marjorie Mason is here discussed. It is the story of a young professor's wife and the problem she had to meet. Faced with an unfaithful husband she is confronted with the problem of disgracing him for life by exposing him or leaving him and taking her children with her. She is advised to choose the second plan. The emptiness of his home should bring this man to his e Physicians LOOD-TESTED CHICKS $8.40 & $9.4) 5 R.O.P, gi, T00, Sxd.

Garrison Garrison's most famous race was his victory on Boundless in the World's Fair Derby in Chicago in 1893. On one pretext or another, such as fixing his straps and his saddle, he delayed the start for an hour and 42 minutes. He spent most of this time on the ground, thus keeping the weight off his horse, while the other jockeys fumed and their horses wore themselves down prancing and plunging. 3 5 HOTEL Reasonable FINE USED CARS do it, that you hadn't a ghost of setae 70 RICHMOND, possibly never month. vo ~~ a chance to win.
