Matter Will Now Go Before the Stockholders For Final Decision Large Sum Will Be Needed. If these who are interested in the reopening of the exposition will sub scribe a fund of $200,000 for the pur pose, it is beiiveed that the project can be carried out, and that the exposition can be made a success next year.” That is the substance of the report that was made to the board of direc tors of the Jamestown exposition on Thursday afternoon by the committee of three that was recently appointed to consider the advisability of contin uing the fair through next year. The report was accepted and adopted. Tha committee recommended that the directors publicly announce that, in their opinion, it is both desirable and practical to reopen the exposition another year; that, from the expres sions of approval from many interests concerned the attendance would be larger next year, and that by an eco nomical administration of the expo sition it could be made to pay; that a statement showing the plan and scope of reopening should be carefully prepared and sent to the stockholders of the company, and also to the repre sentatives of all the various interests asking their co-operation and urging a subscription of a fund of $200,000. The directors will carry out the sug gestions made l>y the committee and Director General Martin will appoint a committee to tot low the plan out lined. The stockholders may he induced to vote to, reopen It, because they pro bably could lose nothing and may gain something by it. But even then to make the reopening a success it would be necessary to have the national gov ernment again participate in it, as well as the states, and that is at least i doubtful proposition, and the state ;xposition commissioners have alreadv voted against it.

For an Xms present—The Journal. 1 GEORGE GUESSED The girl who had come to visit wandered to the piano after dinner, struck a few desultory notes, then ad journed to the mirror over the mantel and gave her hair some extra touches. ‘‘Do you suppose, Mabel,” asked her hostess, ‘‘that George Moran will call to-night, seeing that you got here only to-day?” ‘‘My gracious!” said the girl who was visiting, a trifle sharply, “I’m sure I don't expect him to call at all. Real ly, how did you ever happen to speak of him? You have such odd notions, Sadie.” “Well, I never!” cried Sadie in amazement. “After the way he hung around when you were here six months ago! I thought you and he had kept up a correspondence and 1 supposed that of course he’d call. Didn't you let him know you were coming?” “There may be girls,” said the young woman who was visiting, “who would feel right about announcing to a man that they were soon to be in his town, but I think that is downright fishing. Why, I’d never dream of writing to a man that way. “1 don’t care,” she continued, wheth er George comes to see me or not. I’m perfectly happy with you, dear. What time is it?” “Eight o’clock,” said her hostess. “Well, I supposed you expected him. You and he havn’t quarreled, have you?” “Quarreled!” echoed the girl who wa» guiug in tnc uiuiui tt&cfciii. “1 don't see how a girl can quarrel with a man who is nothing but a—a— well, a casual friend. Why, I have never devoted enough thought to George Moran to be able to quarrel with him. Besides, it would take him a whole hour to get* here since he has moved, if he had dinner at 7 he could not start much before 8, could he? And-” “Well he isn’t likely to start, since you didn't tell him you'd be here,” re marked Sadie, a little shortly. “I’m sure I don't see—when he’s such a splendid fellow. Anyhow, his feelings will be fearfully hurt, for he's so sen sitive. He’ll think you didn't care about seeing him.” “I think I can endure life if I don’t lay eyes on him,” said the girl who was visiting, picking out a piece of sheet music and then rejecting it. “It’s really annoying for you to assume that I care in the least about him just be cause I went, around with him the other time. Goodness! I go around with lots of the boys at home and no body thinks anything of it. Listen!” The two girls stared at each other in silence and then Mabel colored a trifle. “I thought it was the doorbell," she explained, indifferently. “Some ,otief to see you, voit know. The subur ban train runs every half hour here, doesn’t it?” “Yes,” said her hostess. “Well, if you aren't to have callers let’s go up stairs and get into kimonos and be comfortable. I have some new books and a box of candy-” “Of course, if you want to very much, dear,” said the girl who was visiting, reluctantly. “But I feel like playing the piano awhile. Isn’t my hair flying loose in the back? I can’t see in this glass.” “Your hair looks fine,” said Sadie. r“You must have spent at least an hour on it. It's a shame to waste so much effort on just me, but I appreciate the compliment. Do play if you feel like it” “I don’t suppose George Moran is very popular, is he?” carelessly in quired the girl who was visiting as she sat down at the piano. “He’s not aiuuv. utc ur “Popular!” cried Sadie. “I should say he is! Why, he’s perfectly splen did! Just because you don’t seem to appreciate him-” "Really, he never interested me es pecially,” said the girl at the piano. “I never think of him unless 1 see him or hear from him. He does not appeal to me. Doesn’t this blouse wrinkle across the shoulders? X believe I’ll change it.” "What for?” asked her hostess in amazement. "Nobody will see it now except me and I’ve stood it remarka bly well thus far. Why don’t you play something?” "I will,” said Mabel,, taking out her side combs and readjusting them be fore the mirror. "It is so nice to see you again and have a chance to visit with you, Sadie. I do hope no one will interrupt us.” "That's sweet of you,” said her hos tess. “Only I can’t see why you didn’t write George that you were coming. I believe I’ll telephone him.” "Mercy, no!” protested Mabel. "As if I cared! Do you think my hair is as becoming done this way as the way 1 used to wear it six yionths ago? There’s the bell!” She flew to the mirror, and as Sadie recognized the voice of the caller in the hall she looked with dawning sus picion at her guest. "That’s George Moran,” she said, in j a stage whisper. "And you said you! hadn’t written him that you were com ing and didn’t care for him!” “I don’t care!” insisted the girl who was visiting, with wabbly dignity. “And I didn’t tell—only maybe lie, guessed it from something or othor that I wrote. It’s likely-” “Yes, I think it is,” agreed Sadie.— Chicago Daily News. School Suits Boys School Suits are now in order and we’re ready for the Fall Rush.
