SI , WHAT MAJOR GRANTLAND CAME TO ASK MADGE. . Mr mother-in-law's prediction did not come true. It wm not) one hour, bat six which whirled by before MaJ. Grantland's big car came up our driveway. '.' I. knew that he had stopped at Mrs. Durkee's home shortly after the little woman had departed In inch high dudgeon at our disincli nation to agree .with the wedding bouquet scheme. That it, after all,' had turned out to be Dicky's Instead of the young officer's, was something I was sure "Her FJafHness . did ot know. And when Major Grantland did not come oyer, but dashed put the house as if he were going to- a fire J made up my mind that oar little neighbor ' had resolved to take us at our word and leave us boquetless as far as Hugh Grant land was concerned. , I. found myself worrying ab surdly over, the situation, even through the ' rush , of , the '-. last things to which I was attending. My father, who always appears to hare an unlimited fund of that elastic and eluslre commodity known as "inside information." bad warned us that we must get our trunks oft early If we expect ed them to arrive in any season, also that we . must car ry all - the things most necessary in our bags. With the prospect ot no trunks for days it was a seemingly end less task to decide which things were most ' vitally .necessary; lor my baby's comfort and mrVwa creditable appearance at the wed ding. I packed and repacked suit cases and traveling bags, even tucking away such light articles as hankerchlefs-andjsllk'hose in the crerlces ot the box which held the hat I was to wear at Leila's I wedding. - Left -Alone. - I : was femininely inconsistent enough to wonder if my mother- n-Iaw and I were to be the only women without bouquets at the wedding, even to feel resentment toward MaJ. Grantland for taking oar ' refusal lor granted without even an effort to change our de cision. Then my Irritation swerv ed to little Mrs. Dnrkee. who that some third - person was pres ent-whenever I " chanced to en counter him. ' That he had been similarly considerate I guessed, and it had come with a madden, subtle If absurd significanee to me that this was the first time I had; seen him ' alone for many months. ' '. "r ' But Ilinally. nerved -myself to I go downstairs ana; put au . my nerve strength into the effort to greet him with just the right ; shade of perfunctory cordiality. This is indeed a pleasute, MaJ. might have knpwn I told myself I Grantland," I said, holding out my Battiipg r Spits iFor lien, Women and Children Surely you will want a new suit Vhen you take your first plunge Select your sail early and take advantage ot a long earning i season.

TTT 1 r hotly that I was only refusing the preferred courtesy because I dreaded Dicky's displeasure and his mother's nagging. Thankful Indeed was I that there was no one to disturb eith er my packing or my absurd wor rying, which was complicated by the eertalntly that Dicky, despite his dislike of the young officer, would be furious when he found that the scheme which he himself had devised . had been partly spoiled by his wife and mother. Dicky had departed on the noon train to attend to some last things at the studio, and my father bad unexpectedly taken the same train with an air of having discovered something of -the utmost import ance which had to be attended to at once. My mother-in-law was busy with her own packing, which threatened to be still unfinished when the train whistle should sound. Katie and Jim were ef ficiently preparing the bouse for shutting up, and I was left to my own unsatisfactory self for com pany. A Long "Minute. I was In no very placid mood. therefore, when ' Katie ' dashed up to my room with a 'little ."more than her usual strenuosity and ex citement and excitedly announc ed: ' f 1 ' " "Oh, Missis Graham! Dot MaJ. Grantland he here in dot great, beeg car, vant to know if he can sec yon joost run leetle minute." The young officer's wonderful high-powered y car has always greatly impressed Katie's flam boyant Imagination, and I have always suspected that she secret ly applied her yardstick of rom ance obtained from her beloved movies" to the very Infrequent appearances of MaJ. Grantland at oar home. ' That she had' freely translated the young officers re quest. ' I wit sure; and had to smile in spite of my Irritation at her bright interested eye look ing, excitedly at me. ' "Tell him I will be down In a minute," X answered sedately. But it was almost' five minutes before I finally descended the stairs. For an unaccountable tit of shyness, of reluctance to see Hugh Grantland, , had suddenly seized me, and had shaken me until 1 found ; myself trembling. like a frightened schoolgtrL - Because of Dicky's ridiculous Jealousy I had hand In greeting. "Not quite un expected, however, for Mrs. Dur kee has already told as ot your wonderful thoughtfulness." , "What eh? Oh! , About the flowers.!" he stammered. : "Yes. yes of course. B j t, as it hap pens, 1 have come about a very different errand just now. Ttll me, is it true that you hare ; no drawing room for your southern trip?" (To be continued) EDITORIALS OF THE PEOPLE TTT Ho The Last Wm Our Sale . SCHOOL ELECTION Editor Statesman Those of us who are Interested 'in changing the ' complexion of the school board are wondering if all of the people of Salem' know Just whom they' are voting for tomorrow if they cast their ballot for Curtis Cross? We have absolutely noth ing against Mr. Cross personally. He would be a good man for the Job. only he is being put forward by the wrong crowd. Mr. Cross is a fine man. There is absolutely nothing against him except that he is Walter Win Blow's candidate, hand picked for his ability as a candidate under the present conditions. " Who Is choosing the director to fill the vacancy on the board? The people of Salem or the mem bers of the school hoard? Mr. Cross"' petition was filed by friends, he Bays, but he neglected to mention that those friends were "members ot the schoql board. ' ' . Walter Winslow has not been able to run George Halvorsen and he now sees a chance to have com plete control ot the board by put ting in his own candidate. , Toe article in the Editorials ot the People of Saturday's States man which touched on the school director question should meet with the approval of those wb desire more than a "one man" board. Yes, let's elect E. A. Rhoten. He is both conservative and pro gressive enough to be safe. He is a shrewd business man, a tax- been extremely careful to be eurt I payer and has four children in the public schools ot Salem. What bet ter guarantee of his Interests and capability could be asked. Mr. Cross is a handpicked can didate for the position by Walter Winslow, who has dominated the board for so long he dislikes , to have even one member interfere with himt He believes that if he gets Mr. Cross ' on the board he will be able to have his way and tie 6od' Lord 'pity ntf it Walter Winslow gains his objective. Halvorsen . was '. able to hold j Winslow down, which Winslow re sented, and so Is making this special effort to get Mr. Cross on the. board.
