The five treaties negotiated at the arms ronference are Independent docu ments, but to a certain degree they were designed to supplement each other and lo extend the effectiveness of the general plan contemplated by Ihe conference for removing probable reuses of war. Although there will be no barrier tc putting Inlo effect the naval treaty and tba Pacific part, even though Trench ratification of tba other treaties la delayed, the result o f that delay may be to develop a somewhat peculiar situation. Tha Chinese treaties, ons dealing with customs matters In China and Ihe other with political questions (hare, were worked out ea a very vital element In the project of assuring peace In the Parlflc. It was through these pai ta that tba conference dele gates hoped to Iron out rouses o f In ternational friction In Chinn and to make leas likely clashes of Interest In (be far east that might lead to war. This aspect of the situation Is re garded as of Importance nt this time In view of the dlatprbed conditions In China, where the power o f the central government hna been greatly weakened and bandit outrages have become numerous. It la felt that pro clamation of the Wsshlngton trestles might have some effect toward stabil ising the situation. For n somewhat different reason the delay over Ihe submarine and gas warfare treaty la a cause o f re gret to officials here. It had been hoped nt the time of the Washington conference that the doctrines laid down In (hat treaty as binding upon the signatories could be extended without delay to nit other nations, slitting a new chapter to International law. That world progress eannot go forward, however, until (he treaty has been ratified. The submarine provisions o f tha treaty probably are o f greater Impor tance to Great Urltatn than to the other algnalorles because of her geo graphical situation. It Is to bo recall ed that the British delegations at the conference sought to outlaw sub marines entirely. Tbe Hoot resolu tions .embodied In (be submarine and gas warfare treaty were written for the purpoee of finding a compromise ground In which naval opinion of all the powers could combine.

VI September. The office of Dwight Herbert Dea con, Dentist. Gold Work a Specialty (sic) In black lettering, and Justice of the Peace in gold, was above a store which had been occupied by one unlucky tenant after another, ami had suffered long periods o f vacancy when ladles’ aid societies served lunches there, under great white signs, badly lettered. Some months of disuse were nowr broken by the news that the store had been let to a music man. A music man, what on earth was that? Warbleton inquired. The music man arrived. Installed three ptanos, and filled his window with sheet music, as sung by many ladles who swung In hammocks or kissed their hands on the music cov ers. W hile he was still moving In. Dwight Herbert Deacon wandered downstairs and stood Informally In the door o f the newr store. The music man. a pleasant-faced chap o f thirty-odd, was rubbing at the face o f a piano. "Hello, there!” he said. “ Can I sell you an upright?” " I f I can take It out In pulling your teeth, you can," Dwight replied. “ Or,” aald he. " I might marry you free, either one.” On this their friendship began. Thenceforth, when business was dull, the Idle hours o f both men were be guiled with Idle gossip. “ How tbe dickens did you think of pianos fo r a line?” Dwight asked him once. “ Now, my father was a dentist, so I came by It natural—never entered my head to be anything els«. But pi ano*— ” The music man— hla name was Nell Cornish— threw up hit chin In a boy ish fashion, and said he'd be jiggered If he knew. A ll up and down the War- bleton main street, the chances are that the answer would aound the same. “ I'm studying law when I ret tbe chance,” said Cornish, as one who makes a bid to he thought o f more highly. " I see," said Dwight, respectfully dwelling on tbe verb. Later on. Cornish confided mors to Dwight: He was to come by a little Inheritance some day— not much, but something. Yes, It made a man feel n certain confidence. . . . “ Don’t it?" said Dwight, heartily, ns If be knew. Every one liked Cornlah. H e told funny stories, and he never compered Warbleton save to Its advantage. So at last Dwight said tentatively at lunch: “ What If I brought that N ell Cor nish up for supper one of these nights?” “ Oh. Dwlghtle, do," said Inn. " I f there's a man In town, let's know i t * “ What If I brought him up tonight?” Up went Ins's eyebrows.

This Ina saw as she emerged on the veranda In response to Dwight's Informal halloo on his way upstairs. She herself was In white muslin, now much too snug, and a blue ribbon. T o her greeting their guest replied In that engaging shyness which Is not awk wardness. He moved In some pleasant web o f gentleness and frlendtlnesa. T hey asked him Ihe usual quest Inna, and he replied, rocking nil the time with a faint undulating motion of head and shoulders: Warbleton was one of the prettiest liuiu towns that he had ever seen, l i e liked the people — they seemed different. He was sure to like the place, already liked I t Lula came to the door In Nlnian's thin black-and-white gown. She shook hands with the stranger, noi looking at him, and said, "Come to supper, alL" Monona was already In her place, singing nnder-breath. Mrs. Bett, after hovering In the kitchen door, entered; but they forgot to Introduce her. “ Where's Dl?” asked Ina. “ I declare that daughter o f mine Is never any where.” A brief silence ensued as they were seated. There being a guest, grace waa to come, and Dwight said, unintelligi bly and like lightning, a generic ap peal to bless this food, forgive all our sins and finally save us. And there was something tremendous In thla ancient form whereby all stages of men bow In some now unrecognised recognition o f the ceremonial o f tak ing food to nourish life— and more. A t "Amen'’ D l flashed In. her of fices at the mirror fresh upon her— perfect hair, silk dress turned np at the hem. She met Cornish, crimsoned, fluttered to her seat. Joggled the table and. “ Oh, dear,” she said audibly to her mother, " I forgot my ring.” The talk was saved alive by a frank effort. Dwight served, making Jest* about everybody coming back for more. They went on with Warbleton happenings, improvements and open ings; and the runaway. Cornish tried hard to make M agreeable, not Ingratiatingly, but good-naturedly. Ha wished profoundly that before coming he had looked up some more stories In the back of the Musical Gazettes. Lulu surreptitiously pinched off an ant that was running at large upon the cloth and thereafter kept her eyes steadfastly on the sugar bowl to see It It could be from that. Dwight pre- tended that those whom he was help ing a second time were getting more than their share and facetiously land ed on Dl about eating so much that she would grow up and be married, first thing she knew. At the word “ married” Dl turned scarlet laughed heartily and lifted her glass of wuter. “ And what Instruments do you play?” Ina asked Cornish, In an un related effort to lift the talk to mu sical levels.. “ Well, do you know,” said the mu sic man, " I can't play a thing. Don’t know a black note from a white one." “ Yon don't? Why Dl plays very prettily,” said Dl's mother. "Buff then, how can you tell what songs to order?” Ina cried. (TO nn CONTINUED.» Japanese Paper.
