A merry lip-tit came into Dell nor-

shock the romantic soul of Azalia. her j
bo.-wni friend. j
"I," uttered Hell, with mock in ten-
sity, "shall marry for money!"
"IX'll!" breathe! the horrified Azalia.
"Why not?" queried Dell lightly
as
she slipped into her loose coat.
Azalia made no reply for a moment.
She was busy adjusting this sordid re
mark to the otherwise charming and
gentle minded Dell. Azalia bad her
own plans for her friend. Dell was to
marry Rudey Blenck and iu a meas
ure a small measure, mind you con
sole him for the loss of Azclla herself,
for Aza'ia loved not the fair haired
Rudey and bad broken the news to

"But you will never be happy, Dell,
said Azalia seriously. '-Why should
you sell yourself to some toothless old
man who"
"Azalia! Tlease don't suggest that I
might not attract a young millionaire,"
teased Dell as she led the way from
the fashionable tea room where the
conversation bad taken place. i
"I never thought of that, dear," ad- j
mitted Azalia. "You know iu novels ,
and newspaper headings it's always
the other way round. Have you ever
have you ever thought much about
it, Dell? I mean, have you calculated
just how rich he must lie?" An eager
light was in her eyes.
Dell yawned. "Dear me, no! I am
so poor myself that almost any sum of
money over $10,000 would appear to
be a fortune."
"Then Rudey would do!" blurted
forth Azalia excitedly.
Dell stared Incredulously. "Rudey
Blenck?" she asked.
"Yes, of course. He's a dear," cried
Azalia, loyal to her discarded suitor.
"Then why don't you marry him,
dear?" asked Dell sweetly.
"I don't love bim," explained Azalia
sorrowfully.
"Neither do I." retorted Dell crisply.
"But you said you didn't care. Yon
wanted to marry for money. And, oh.
dear Dell, I have Just remembered that
I had to be at that stupid tailor's at 3
o'clock. Wi:i you come with me?"

One of the jol.iest entertainments
ever given at the local high school oc
curred last evening by the faculty for
the students of the institution. Tha
reception had been announced some
time ago, but no facts could be learn
ed and all of the surprises which were
given last evening were most delight
ful. The big hit of the evening was
the little play'.et entitled: "Thank
Goodness, the Table Is Spread," the
cast of which was made up entirely by
members of the faculty. The plot of
the play centered around the phrase
from which the name of the playlet is
derived. The butler and maid quar
rel; the quarrel spreads to the wife
and husband of the household; and is
carried on to the mother and father of
the wife who are visiting at the home.
The matter is patched up all around.
PLEXTV OP APPLAUSE.
Throughout the play the actors had
to wait until the laughter subsided to
go on with their lines. Horace L.
Howard acted the part of the butler
very well, while Miss Alma Buhlig
played the maid to perfection. Ar
thur Q. Larson was the husband and
Miss Barfield carried the character of
the wife well; Merle S. Harmon was
the father and Jenny B. Sturgeon the
mother. The playlet was very comic
al and some of the actions of the
dignified instructors were laughable.

kiss the maid. Principal A. J. Burton
and John V. Casto gave an instrumen

Before the program in the assembly
hall began there was a contest in the
halls of the building to secure the
most autographs of the opposite sex,
the boys having the fair ones sign
their cards, while the maidens secur
ed the autographs of the boys.: Haz
el Willis secured the prize for having
the most autographs of boys, with 140
signatures. Betha MiKer, won the con
solation prize with two autographs.
George Garlock was most successful
of the boys with 17S names on his
list and Harold Johnson had the small
est number for the boys' side with 29.

Meantime Iludey Blenck had quite
the opposite opinion.
While liell waited on the corner for
a bus she was not thinking of Azalia
Bonner nor ct Kudey Bleuck nor of her
Aunt Pamela Griffin. She was think-
ing of Stanley Kenn. who was Azalia's
cousin and a poor young physician who
had just opened his first office.
Azalia Bonner left the tailor's in a
beatific state of mind, for her new
gow n was a decided success. The mo
ment she started up the avenue toward
home her thoughts flew directly to her
misguided friend Dell.
"I simply can't have her marry for
money!" groaned .Azalia, beginning to
worry over the matter.
"Well, little cousin, why so wor
ried?" and Stanley Renn fell Into step
beside her. "Rudey committed sui
cide?" Azalia stopped short. "What do you
mean?" she demanded, wide eyed.
"Where is her'
"At the club, drinking drinking him
self to death! I shall declare it suicide
if I'm asked to si;;n his death certifi
cate," returned Reun cheerfully.
"Humph!" sniffed the aggrieved
Azalia. "They wouldn't call you in.
Stan! They might if it was a cat or
something Jike that!" she ended cut
tingly. "A puppy, perhaps?" asked the doo
tor Innocently.
"I don't know what is the matter
with everybody today," complained
Azalia at last. "First Dell Horton de
clares she Is going to marry for money
so sordid, you know. I wouldn't
have believed it of Dell, would you,
Stanley?"
Dr. Renn's face had lost its merry
humor. It was quite white, and his
hazel eyes looked black by contrast.
"No," he said rather curtly; "I
wouldn't. You are sure?" He despised
himself for asking this question.
"She said so repeatedly." averred
Azalia earnestly. "You see. Stanley,
they've always been in moderate cir
cumstances, and I suppose li is a
temptation."
"Who Is he?" demanded Dr. Box a. j
hoarseiy.
"I don't know yet." returned Azalia
treamily. She had caught a glimpse of
