H' THE OC-PENjrTA FRIDAY, JUNE 11,1 920. b 5 f I f LOW and MARRIED MM ' l3ij, the noted aiithor j IDcxtl Xcws. "My Dear Katharine," besan John's loiter rather formally, a:id I knew without reading uny further that ho had something" to say that wa3 not particularly pleasant. "I am sending- you a cllpplnf: from ono of the papers here, which will tell you the wholo story of your entry Into the business, and your exit from It, much better than I can. "It really reads like a movie. You see a bunch of crooks came down "here looking for easy money, and after looking up titles, of different parcels of land, they came to the conclu sion as yours had been neglected for so many years, that whoever had it had forgotten all about it. They bought up all the land around your , little trad, and much to their sur prise they did atrllco a gusher on their own land. Not content to make money honestly they piped out over to yours hoping to be able to sell both I their own and your wells at fabulous prices. It was at this moment that 'your Cousin Charles turned up, and having paid the taxes which these two crooks had neglected to do, ho was able to prove title for you. Then they J decided to deflect the oil back to their own well, and did so and there you are. Coming: Hack to John. "You have never had an oiLwell and j I don't believe there Is any oil on i jjour land. So sure 1 am of It. that 1 was offered a thousand dollars for the acre yesterday, and took It, and I am coming back to take up my own Job asain. I have Just paid thl3 thou sand dollars for bills that have been made- down here. "I shall probably be. home the first of the week. Will not come by way h ui your ijkicc, uccause i Know iiisu H there are plenty of things that are JB waiting my coining at the office. It H was very foolish of mo to allow you H to persuade nie to go into this matter H at. all. I never yet have allowed any- H one to change my mind about business jH t3'at 1 haven't been sorry for it. I 'jf draw $L',500 on your bank day before Hn, yesterday. I wish you roulil send me jSHfflwTjf? a statement of your account, as I think jrafffffM 1 "iaVe to use at least ?-',500 more tt&tttp'rm lo straighten up the house purchase. InFffV llM "That's another foolish thing for "K?VtM 'c to do, but you see 1 was almost Hl pushed Into that by the thought of i Bjf3 your being a very great heiress and I j HWrfii knew that you did not want to livoi Eufill with mother. The property was on the I ! market, at a smaller figure than itj eVor will be sold again. Frankly, how jovor, I think I had better keep it for an Investment, and we'll go right on Uflng with my mother Juat as we hapc I been doing. You will see by the paper' clipping that I have hud the men ar rested. The Job has created a great I sensation down here; but I don't like paviny out five or al:r thousand dollars I Just to provide the reading public with a sensation.' Told by a Tcleprram. While 1 was rcadln this letter Han- nah delivered mo a telegram. It was from John and read: "I have changed my mind. Will c with you almost as, soon aa my special delivery letter. Things are looking rather blue. Since I have been away the office has let two large accounts slip away from them and with the losses made down -hero and the purchase of that house there will be considerable cut in our Income for the next year. I'll tell you about ft when I see you, Jonn. I went to the telephone and -called iup Charles and ho came over immc- diaicly. I showed him John's letter and wire. "Katherine, I believe you are psychic," he said in surprise. "No one i could have called the turn ns you did on this entire business without having some supernatural power. I wondered what Charles would think If I should tell him all the things 1 see. Almost every night, b'efore I I got to sleep. I can visualize Karl Shepard out there in Lotus Land and I I know exactly how he looks and al- , most what he Is thinking. I So Intent was I upon my own task that I did not realize what Charles was saying, but after he had read the letter again he said tp me: "Please UUI1 L Lllilllv, ja.Ullil.-l IIIU, ma. ..... ....... Ing suggestions which I should not, but if I wero you I would take out that 5.500 that you have in your checking account and put it in a safe deposit box for a little while." "Why should I do that, Charles?" Will Want It Immediately "Well, don't you see that your hus band is coming back and he will want that money immediately to put on that house, and 1 do think you should have a. little money of your own that you can call upon If you wish." "You know 1 have this little Income t that I can not touch for the upkeep j of this house, Charles." "Yes, I know, but " Tomorrow John Returns.

'VNl wonder, then, that women hate WJUk-M t0 grow stout, and attrlDute all of their lwfcH tr.oubles to It. No wonder that when PfM il woman at middle age suddenly 'I ' IflH awakens to the Tact that her husoand alasH has t'rov,'n niore or less Indifferent to JJHH i ner and that le0Dle Senerally exhibit fti'lSBj n0 wIltl desire for her society, that 3'&IBVb fshe beats upon her breast and cries jjpjBW out that nobody loves a fat woman.

'ftKfll ' Perhaps the reason that growing - TIkH stbut is such a catastrophe to worn- MH e11 is not so muCM an increasing belt- '''rllB measure as a decreasing hat measure. eMH Vow sad to say, about the same lime jKH ot life that a woman losses her phy- f:S-H slcal figure, sho is apt to lose her mental figure. She not only gets fat WK ' in body, but fat on the brains. I (MM , Most young girls are sprightly. Their 'ii'B I w,ls arc ,JlS nlniDle as hcir heels. They TiA4f I aro receptive to new ideas. Thoy are f alive to fresh points of view. We 1,ke tnelr society because they aro in ' terest'ed in life, because they are adap- 4PB table, because they are cheerful and ilP-li bouydnt. They are willowy and elaa-l tic in mind as well as body. I jM 1 Tlfe middle aged Woman. ' on- the' contrary, ls frequently a deadly dull companion, because opinionated and prejudiced. S&tSS'M 11 'O"'11 ta'ce a surgical operation' J&yl to graft a new idea on to the fixed opinions she already has, and her nioii Srlll tal processes have become as stiff: as wWmi her joints. I Kralc ne 'laa lcl- herself go. She never ronds, anything but sleepy novels. She 'flf doesn't try lo keep up with the times. "r.JSaf She has no interest In anything out- tffwffli side' of her small circle, and she is iflyl'J positive that overythlug is wrong that1 IJM sho didn't do whon she waa a girl. Worse still, cho la apt to degenerate JM into a whlner. Her conversation is a H, melancholy recital of her various 111- ucsscs, and trouble she had raising1 . her children, and her husband's lack ; - of appreciation of her. and the wor-' Hvjii rie3 she has hud with servants. You may neve have thought of It I ( heforc, but consider how few and far -t ye--' between aro tho jolly, alert, and alive r5 middle aged women you know, how few arc interesting and interested, and good to talk to and listen to. Now, considering that Heaven doesn't turn out many women who arc under studies lo tho Venus do Milop or her present rival In female pulchritude, the Living Skeleton, Isn't it about time that tho fair sex realized that it ls more Important to keep their mental figures than their physical ones? For tho ono can be done, and the other can't. No woman can keep per petually young and beautiful,, but any woman can Keep herself interesting and an agreeable companion. And mat's what counts after forty. ' If women would spend as much time and labor massaging the kinks out of their tempers as they do the wrinkles out of their taccs they would get more results. Nobody and assuredly no U... .,,! ...I....W ....... ... ...I.,. Is always sweet and amiable, and reas- onable nas crow's feet at the corners ot her eyes or not. Nobody over knows, because all they see is the beautiful soul of her. Nor does It matter whether a mid dle aged woman ls a perfect, thlrty- , Stx or an imperfect fltiy-slx, If her ' gown covers a heart that is full of sympathy and love for all humanity, and of understanding and friendliness. The woman who has aiways palled with her husband, who has known how to make excuses, when things went I wrong, and has checrod hlni on In times of discouragement, doesn't need i to worry over nor belt measure. Alter all, you can't really measuro life with a corset string. Women can keep themselves inter- ' estlng. They can keep out of ruts. They can keep cheerful, and refrain from telling hard luck stories. They lean road, and travel, and cultivate an ; Interest In other people, and when they do, It does not make any difference whether they are fat or thin. i A middle aged woman should be at the most fascinating time of life be- ! cause she In old enough to have ac quired poise; she is old enough to j have a wealth of exporlenco behind her; she n old enough to have learned ' to take a humorous instead of a tragic view of most things, and sho Is still young enough to look with Interest at Ithe closed door of the future ! But sho is only an agreeable com panion If she has kept her mental fig ure. The women who has grown fat witted la a bore from whom we all pray heaven lo deliver us. oo SeSOfti TICKETS All persons Intending to purchase season tickets for the Chautauqua thlB year will confer a favor on the Ogden committee by phoning their names to our office, telephone 4 5-1.

Designers! !of street costumes are providing us with a new thrill every other day or two, so whllo the "strictly tailored" suit Is still highly approved of Fash Ion, it Is difficult to resist tho appeal of the gayer, more fanciful models. Hero is one, for instance, a "cos umo tall lour," as the Paris designer calls It, that suggests alluring pos sibilities for making oer an old suit. Emily Stevens wears It in "Footloose." It Is so 3lmpln that It ln.rdly needs a description Just a straight, narrow skirt and a boxcoat with three-quarter sleeves that are jiractically the same width all tho -way down. Then, by the way of trimming, thero ls a wide, flat, black braid marked off with tjvo narrow bands of dull gold braid. With this suit Miss Stevens wears a I round turban that adds immeasurably to tho ensemble. It consists of a square "of the same duvetyn of which the suit is mado draped above a band composed of three heavy twisted cords. FOR LITTLE FOLKS A v THE TOUGH SASSAFRAS. "Yes," Mrs. Wocdchuck assured them, "when the sounds of scratching and thumping came from the kitchen, "it's" only Wally digging the sassafras for our tea." And she turned the flame 'up higher under her little copperjtet tle on the parlor table. So Nancy and Nick and Tingaling sat down again. "As I was saying," sho went on,, j "Wally and I were taking a walk when j "Thump, thump, thump, scratch, 'scratch," camp the sounds again.

Mrs. Woodchucl; ' said, answering TingalingJs last words, j "It's most annoying to have such tough I sassafras. Mr. Tingaling, couldn't you j rent us a house next year with tender! sassafras?" Tingaling started for the kitchen, then, for tho sounds had stopped and still no Wally appeared. "Perhaps I can, Mrs. Waodchuck," he said. "Nancy and Nick, you stay here a minute until I go into the kitch en and see just how tough that sassa fras is." i I rag I landlord. "I didn't know we had such ough sassafras in the Land-of-Dear-Knows-Where." "Yes," said Mrs. Woodchuck quickly, "it is tough. Wally was just saying (he other day, 'We'll certainly have to do something about that sassafras to tender it up ' It's something terrible to dig." "Well, he must be tendering it notf, with a large-sized shovel," said Tinga ling grimly, looking suspiciously to ward the kitchen. But remembering that the Magical Mushroom was play ing policeman right outside the kitch en door, ho sat still, feeling pretty sure that Wally couldn't get out that way. The fairyman was still feeling cross at Wally for putting his children out of the house, and he was determined ' French Ace to Fly . From Paris to Warsaw PARIS, June 10.

The situation at inld-nlght with respect to the presi dential nomination finds the old guard leaders still undetermined aa to who their final choice will be. Indications point strongly to Philander Knox of Pennsylvania, as the man upon whom they'wlll concentrate after their strat egy has put other candidates out oi the running. The old guard is boasting tonight that It lias Johnson beaten. Tho adoption of a treatv plank acceptable to him is to be followed In their opin ion, with his elimination from further consideration as a candidate.. Fear Johuson's Strength Nevertheless, fearing Johnson's etrength as they do, they are continu ing their efforts to compel Johnson to accept second placo on the ticket with Knox. Johnson's only reply to these over tures is that he ls a candidate for president only; lie refuses absoluloly to listen to any suggestions that he take second place, ven with as good a friend as Senator Knox, for whom ho has tho highest regard. Though thoy are still claiming loud ly that they have put Johnson out of the race, they have not as yet made up their minds definitely as to tho man upon "whom thoy will concentrate for this purpose. Tomorrow's balloting, which will start some time In the afternoon will undoubtedly give some Insight into what the old guard has In mind. Course Pvcdicted Tho strategy of the leaders for to morrow will be to take not more than i three ballots before adjourning. On fthe first ballot they will permit every lone of the twenty or" more "favorite jjons" to receive the complimentary ! votes from the states which desire thus to compliment them. J On the second ballot some changes l may be made. Several of the unlm l portant "favorite sons" will be allowed jlo drop quietly out filled with tho (satisfaction that they have been slg 'nally honored by their own slates. J The third ballot Is expected to wit ness the first real breaks. It is on this ballot that the Wood . managers expect to start the big smash for their I candidate. Thoy claim they will be I able to show 400 votes for Wood on Ithls ballot. They evpect to break Into jthe New York delegation and into : other delegations. I oo HARDING OPPOSED TO THREATS OF BOLTING CHICAGO, June 3 0. Discussing the convention fight, Senator Harding de clared today that talks of bolts prob ably were not authorized, "but that certainly no minority should be per mitted lo control through threats."
