since he came home, a suspicion
that things wer not goini? quite
satisfactorily with him, that h
wasn't receiving th.s orders for
illustrations which he had con
fidently counted jd.
"If I Wanted To."
. Of course I knew. Dicky felt to
real reason for anxiety. If he
had chosen to go to the city and
renew his acquaintance with the
art editors he had known. before
entering the service lie would no
doubt have secured more work
than he could have done 'tut 1

he came home to remind bis
former associates that he was
once more in the illustrating

tentative question from Alfred

concerning his work.
"Not a line," he returned care
lessly. "I've just been idylliclr
lazy, when I haven't bien dancing

He smiled at me lovingly, and
I felt a lessening of the weight
which had settled on my heart
with the relelation of Edith Fair
fax's presence overseas.
"Well, are you in shape to work
when yon condescend to think
about It again?"
There was something more
than idle curiosity In Alfred Dur

nized the note. of business- the
"art editor tone," I had dubbed
It long ago.
"Sure thing!" Dicky returned.
"I'm not a southpaw, you know,"
indicating his bandaged left hand.
"I could begin today If I wanted
to."
'If I wanted to! Just listen to

Dicky la Interested.
"Now. Alfred." his mother in
terposed in a shocked tone. "You
know you never went to the office
until day before yesterday."
"Well, if that isn't almost a
week. I don't know what is," her
son returned unabashed.
"Thank you Mrs. Durkee,"
Dicky rose and made her a gran
diose salutation. "I am glad to
pee that you never let maternal
prejudice cloud your sense of jus
tice." "You'll have a good, swift
right-hander cloud your senses if
you don't shut up and listen to
me," Alfred Durkee said wrath
fully. "I've got one of the finest
little jobs over at the house you
ever laid your eyes on. If you
could ever get the sleep out of
your eyes I think you'd be inter
ested." "Shoot." Dicky said laconically,
settling himself in an exaggerat
edly indolent attitude in his chair.
Hut I saw that h was keenly at
tentive underneath his r careless
mask, saw that Alfred 'Durkee
knew it also.
"It's a new serial by W ,
Mr. Durkee began, naming one of
the biggest American authors,
"the first thing he's done in
three years. It's a hackneyed
thing, but you know he could take
the multiplication table and leave
you at the end of each chapter
with your tongue banging out."
Dicky grunted an assent, pulled
lazily at his pipe.
"The heroine is a sheltered,
old-style southern girl, breaks
loose, goes to Prance as a war
worker, then after war tries to
fit. In old southern town, marry
man she used to be engaged to
all that sort of rot. There isn't
much war In it. in fact, he's cut
out a lot of stuff, and written in
scads of new dope since the armis
tice, but It's a crackerjack. I
can't remember all the side lines
he has in it. But here's the
cream of the johe.
"You remember the drawings
you made tor that other southern
story, the one Edith Fairfax
posed tor? Well, it seems those
took W's eye, and he wants the
same artist, and If possible the
same model ror nls own little
brain child. What do you say?"
Dicky took his pipe from his
mouth, looked at It reflectively.
"Wonder if Mlsi Fairfax would
pose," he said. "It would be the
devil of a job getting another
model just like her. But trot
over the manuscript anyway. I'll
take a look at it and let you know
what I decide."

but making his points with vig
orous gestures that awakened re
peated periods of applause.
The president's visit to the
senate chamber followed Immedi
ately the conclusion of the ad
dress. He went firt to the pres
ident's room and was escorted by
senators to the rostrum to make
his first communication to con-giess.
Submission of the cabinet selec
tions was prefaced by a brief ex
planation, in which President
Harding suggested that good re
lations between executive and leg-
islaxire branches might be ce
mented by the element of person
al contact. He read the names of
the men selected for his official
circle of counsellors. Within 20
minutes aftr his departure all
the nominations had been con
firmed. In personally appearing before
th npper branch ot congress in
executive session. President Hard
ing harked back to a precedent
established in the earlier admin
istrations but disregarded ever
since.
Reaching the White House
shortly before 3. th president
and Mrs. Harding had luncheon
with the immediate members of
their families, including Dr. Geo.
T. Harding of Marlon, the execu
tive's father. Vice President and
Mrs. Coolidge also wers guests.
Afterward the Hardings helped
open the White House to the folk?
from Marion.
It was late before Mr. Harding
made his first visit to his offices
and issued the order opening the
White House grounds to the pub
lic. In doing so, he fulfilled a
prophecy of Mrs. Harding, who
declared on election night that
one of the first acts of the next
administration would be to "take
the polic?iden away from the
White House gates."
Mos-t of Mr. Harding's first eve
ning in the executive offices Was
spent with his secretary, Oeorga
prayer by the chaplain. Mr. Cool
idge read his brief inaugural ad
dress and when the applause
which greeted it had subsided, he
began swearing in the senators
elected or re-elected last November.
MAXCHKSTKR. England, Mar.
4. The Manchester Guardian,
commenting editorially on the
change in the presidency of the
United States, today said:
"Mr. Wilson leaves the White
House today a failure in fhe
world's s'ght. but still a man who
failed while trying to do a noble
thing at a time when most of
those about him were bent on
success in doing somewhat base
things.
"A thrill of Joy and pride such
as never came again went through
the huge British army in France
on the day when the news spread
that Germany had sued for peace
on the basis of Mr. Wilson's fam
ous 14 points. That was the vic
tory for which our armies had
fought.
"in the 14 points the one hon
est attempt was made to turn into
aetion the eloquence which had
drawn hundreds of thousands of
simple, enthusiastic persons to die
willingly for the Ideals that It
held up before them Had
Mr. Wilson had persuasive
strength equal to hi clarity of
vision he might have dominated
at Paris the little crowd of post
war imitators of pre-war Ger
many. Hut his lack of strength
and skill is no slur upon his hon
or. At any rate, he fought for
the best of his powers for what
the mass of the British army
fought for. If he ever comes to
Europe again he at any rate can
face the grave of our unknown
warriors In Westminster with
nothing to be ashamed of.
WASHINGTON'. Feb. 22.
Snow shoes, which proved such
Important Instruments In the re
cent rescue of the American nav
al balloonists from the snow
bound wilds of Canada, are little
known except in most general
terms outside the localities where
they are commonly used. Still, to
make them is a fine art and to use
them is an accomplishment. Walk
ing on snow shoes is learning to
walk all over again, says a bulle
tin on the subject by the Ameri
can Forestry association.
Up In the Hudson bay country
snow shoes are almost as import
ant is the food is very far away.
The snowshoes as the term is "us
ually understood, is short and
broad, and instead of being all
wood, it generally consists of a
wooden rim or hoop, cross-strung
with thongs of leather. Snow
shoes of this kind are not always
classed as sporting outfits. They
are strictly for business during
the deep snows andtne severe
winters of the far northern re-
rions.
Trappers, hunters, and travel
ers once habitually wore such in
winter and moccasins in summer.
Custom has changed somewhat
now. In regions which have be
come thickly settled; and the
snowshoe and the ski have taken
their place among Implements of
sport. '
The snowshoe, with its broad,
latticed, rawhide bottom. Is ser
viceable in walking over soft
snow. The wearer does not ex
pect to develop much speed. That
is where the snow storms such as
beset the navy's men the snow
shoes play a big part. Northern
hunters make their own now
shoes with hatchet and knife, and
If leather thongs were not at
hand, the lattice soles could be
woven of basswood bark which
can be stripped in winter as well
as in summer. Hark or aeverai
other trees will serve also. Ex
nert woodsmen know the art of
heating the bark to make it peal
in winter and to divide into
strands of convenient size for
for braiding into soles tor snow
sh. ,
The hunter could split his ski
material with hatchet and wedr
ea: but the man who used snow
shoes for business, nearly always
preferred the broad, short pat
tern, with braided whang bot
toms. They were more reliable
than the long skis.
The latticed snow shoe resem

or three feet long and twelve Inch

part. The rim Is of ash. hickory
or elm. The ski Is made ot
