'knew that our failure meant that

added casually, "Did you see Atf

i -We f saw Leila Dicky re
sponded, "streaking it toward
the railroad station as If the last

she ' had no seat . reserved. But
we didn't offer to pick, her up
or to wait for her beloved hus

strictly outsiders,! ; we do, and
those two don't want any motor

there came suddenly to me the

I had a. vision of the fourLlnnch-

"my common sensd conquered, my

if she 'had; Just come from the
cream dish.; . ; . :
"Yoxl'X have to go to my kitch
en, then," she said. "Now you
needn't say a word, Madge.. It's
perfectly ridiculous having that
girl try to serve meals with all
the things as nearly packed' as
she has. I went in today while
you were gone, and she was in
positive tears; trying to' decide
what things to leave out of the
barrels until the last minute. You
know I don't rave over Katie the
way you do, but she certainly
can't do Impossible things. 'Pack
up every last , paring knife;' I said
to her, aad come over to my
house and I get the meals until
they break! up here. She was
tickled to death. So you see you
have nothing to say." p
"Except that you're a dear," I
said, trying" to be - properly en
thusiastic and; grateful, but heav
ily conscious of the fact that every
day until we left our home Edith
Fairfax would make one of the
group at mealtime, that I had
eaten my last meal with Dicky n
the home T had loved so' dearly.
But looming even above this pic
ture was tie ; obsession of Dicky
and Edith lunching in the city on
the .morrow,; either a duex or with
Alfred and Leila.
I shall never know - whether
Lillian interposed jnst then from
sheer good .nature, or, a compre
hension of my feeling. At any
rate, she addressed 'Edith, laugh
ingly: . .;' - ,
"Do take pity on me tomorrow.
Edith, and lunch with me," she
said. "You know you'll only be
a gooseberry with Leila and Al
fred, and I positively hate to eat
alone."

BERKELEY, Cal., April 21.-4-
Old time sport followers whohave
seen the Uniyersity of Washing
ton' rowing crews in action "for
nearly two decades' have placejd
their stamp of approval upon the
1923 Purple and Gold eight which
meets the University af California
oarsmen on t the Oakland Estuary
tomorrow. Coach Russell JtRuj
ty ) Callow wound up the prelini
inary training season in a pessi
mistic mood and has; predicted
that the Huskies can';!jwln ; fron
ine uoiaen wear; oniy oy tne
skin of their teeth." ;
As finally decided upon. 1 after
a season of upsets in which sey
eral of last year's "Wf winners
were forced to ifight hard to re
tain their seats in the shell, the
crew will probably be made up of
the? following' men: . Dow ' Wal
llngj strode; Harry , Button, No.
7; uapiam sam anaw, iso. e;
Pred Spuhn, No. 5; Wright Par
kids, No. 4: Charles Dunn. No. 3;
Max Luf t. No. 2 ; . Pat Tldmarsh
bow; Donald Grant, coxwain. 1.
Ot the nine men, Shaw, Spnhn;
Parkins, Tldmarsh . and Grant
were in the Washington shell
that won 'second ; place - in ' the
Poughkeepsie national regatta
last year. Lttf t, Dutton and .a Wi
ling ' rowed with : the yearling
eight ' tha t a defeated the Califor
nia freshmen by ten lengths over
the Lake Washington course in
19221 - ' :- '''!'
" Observers who have
i
! watched
the Washington oarsmen in thhit
daily .workouts declare the crew
fully as powerful as last year's
organization, and that the men
have achieved, nearly the same
smoothness and perfection of
stroke. While times for practice
Bpins over the three miles were
net given out, it was known that
in the tlaat rew workouts the shell
covered the' three miles in , near
record" fashion.
- Captain' Shaw, regarded as one
of the best oaTsmen produced at
Washington in years Is a; senior
awl is rowing his third year in
the varsity shell. He is one ( ot
the most powerful menr iff the
boat Walling, according to crew
experts, is a steady and efficient
stroke but inclined to be a bit
mechanical. Dutton lis noted, for
his long reach and powerful pttU-
ing ability. ,
Spuhn has been hailed by sport
followers as the best technical
oarsmen in the Husky shell. Park

Dunn, despite the physical handi

the boat, has displayed power and
technical ability: Luf t has alter
nated at stroke with Walling and
is considered a , valuable all
around mam Tldmarsh is rangy
with a powerful stroke and is a
remarkably smooth oarsman.

the most out ot his men in a
long, hard sprint.. i
