Show THE SMITHFIELD SENTINEL. SM1THF1ELD. UTAH MURDER MASQUERADE The Living Truth DO not need to defend truth. Truth is its own defense. Not many years ago merchants and bankers, when they left their pluces of business, turned oil the lights and put up great heavy shutters. Today they pull aside the blinds and turn on a strong light. The greatest protection the truth of God can have is to expose it so that everyone may see what it does. Let us give up trying to guard our faith. It is better far to live it.

Sylvia began to tell me whs back of us was my tall tester bed with its beautiful chintzes in Pompadour bluea and pinks; the light here and there in the room, spreading into golden pools on the polished tables or the polished floor; Sarahs warm, dark face above the shining gray poplin of her uniform; Sylviae tiny fragile silvery figure and my tall, filmy with dark one,. both of sparkles, from our veils. I hated to put Sylvias mask on. As I did not want to keep Sylvia up too late, I started early for the party ao that she might see the whole show. And to make it the more thrilling to her, I improvised great mystery in our approach to the Stow house. A little before nine, we emerged, hand in hand, from my back door. I took Sylvia the driveway to the road in front of the' house, walked toward the ocean and then up over the Head, passing the Fairweather house, the Eames house, the Mar-dehouse, the Geary and the Bray houses to the Stow house. We entered there by the back door. It was a beautiful night Many regretted that the moon was to be late. But I did not regret it for I love the stars. The air was soft and warm. As we walked, Sylvia's trusting little hand in my hand and her chattery little voice iq pi ear, I could hear the long, slow booming sweep of the incoming waves and the long, rattling k .of the outgoing ones. I explained tP Sylvia that I had started early on her account, so that she could watch everybody appear and that we might be the very first to arrive.

I was as hungry as usual, but of course it was all I could do to get Sylvia to eat. Presently we went upstairs. I undressed and bathed her and put her to bed. By some miracle she slept for an hour. At about eight oclock, I heard her leap out of her bed. She came pattering in her nightgown and bedroom slippers into my room, where I lay on the chaise longue. As though Sylvias footsteps had been a signal, Sarah immediately joined us from downstairs. She insisted W dressing me first. Getting you out of the way, Mrs. Avery, ind with, a conscious humor was the way she phrased it. Mine was a Spanish costume. The as translated by Spanish lady Satuit had always seemed a little conventional in type although her ihawls some actually purchased in Madrid have been extremely colorful. I had determined to do something original there was no touch of color in the whole effect. The gown was of black lace, a high comb for the hair as black a tor--' as I could find. And in-stead of the usual mantilla, I wore s big square of black maline close-- : ly dotted with rhinestones, I am a tall woman. Once I was slim, but perhaps I had better say now that I am thin. My hair is jet black. It has always been abun-- 1 dant and as I have never cut it, I still have a great deal. My eyes are gray. I am forty-si-x years old. And that, I fancy, is all that is nec-- : essary to say about me. However, I myself felt that my costume was and Sarah was en-- I becoming thusiastic. Sylvia is little, even for her eight years; frail and pearly and freckled. Sarah loosed her hair from its two tight pig-- j tails; combed out its waves; mounded it on her head. Then she drew on the white lace dress. It was so long that it dragged on the floor.

It was nearly ten oclock. People were pouring in now, but Sylvias steady, accurate observation constantly clicked names to me. Of course she did not identify every mask. Unlike me, she did not know everybody in Satuit. And naturally there were some who were strangers to both of us for, as always, people brought house guests. But my intimates she recognized instantly.

Three or four times in this brief walk, we met policemen, the first just beyond the park. We greeted them all and they responded with smiling, mystified appreciation. When we came into the big Stow kitchen, the usual crowd of colored girls filled it; the Stows Jessie and Caddie, the Eames' Lulu and Lily, sisters by the name of Lamb; the Gearys Jennie Snow and Winnie Tompkins; Big Hattie Doane and slim little Alice Robinson who were always availrble for extra work; Bessie and Sarah. The house looked lovely. Mattie has an exquisite taste in decoration and she is an accomplished gardener. Several had arrived before us. There was that air of tingling constraint excited mirth which always hangs over the beginning of a masked party. Three men, an Indian, a pirate, an Uncle Sam, immediately sured rounded us, walking slowly about and surveying us gravely from every point of view. In one corner a pair of pierrots, a Pierrette, a columbine, all in black and white, were fussing with the radio. In the opposite corner, behind a screen of firs, the orchestra sat with its instruments ready. Sud denly a bedlam seemed to break loose outside as a group of arriving automobiles, honking horns, crunched the gravel. Presently a motley a big grout of French peasants poured intc the room. The orchestra started. People began to dance. I found a couch in a corner which commanded the whole scene and retired to it with Sylvia. We sat there watching. Sylvia did all the talking. I did all the listening. I was willing enough to listen. I was conscious that I was going through one of the most curious experiences of a lifetime. . It was almost eerie. I have never had the slightest skill in identifying my friends at the Stow masquerade; for they can always make me believe they are what they are pretending to be. We do not unmask until about eleven; and up to that time, our main endeavor is to make as many correct guesses as possible. Of ing Sylvia looked.

I remember reading somewhere that prestidigitators dread, more than any other, an audience of children, because they are at the same time less suggestible and more cuggestible than adults.

Sylvia arose and atood before the gigantic Roman warrior; a thrilled, trembling little figure like a little silvery fountain which had burst through the floor.
