"Without or with offense to friends or foes 1 sketch your world exactly as it goes." byron. CECOND WIVEC By VIOLET DARE Jf Why Not Chemeketa? The Indian village that for centuries existed on the site of Salem was known by the name of Chemeketa, a far more original and attractive name for an Oregon city than that bestowed by the pioneers who laid out the capital city. So why not restore its ancient American title to the modern American city? It would not only avoid confusion engendered by a multitude of Salcms, but secure a .distinction and originality that would impress the world. Instead of being one of 57 varieties of Salems, let us be the one and only Ciiemeketa. Oregon pioneers showed a deplorable lack of originality in applying names. Their cities they called by the names of eastern cities. Mountains were named after Englishmen by Englishmen, and streams, they called after the fauna of the region with the result -that there is duplication in every county. They neglected, in most cases, to utilize the pic turesque and musical names applied by the aborigines. Salem Oregon, was named after Salem, Massachusetts, as are all of the other Salems. The latter city was settled in 1626 by Puritans leaving England for religious freedom and in 1629 they established the first Congregational church in America. In 1636, however, the pastor, Roger Williams, was driven out and forced to flee to the wilderness, wnicn was nu is, the puritan idea of religious freedom. wii.in ninm MnBMflhusetts. is rich in historical associa inn. w mnin r.laim to fame rests in the witchcraft illusions of 1692 when 19 persons were hanged as witches. This made Salem famous. But why should the capital of Oregon have to steal her name? We don't want her fame, why keep her name? The name Salem is mentioned in three places in the Bible. In Geneses 14:18, when Abram was blessed after the battle of kings And Moklitzedek, hlng of Salem, brought forth bread and wine and he "was the priest of the moat high jou. This is further elucidated in Hebrews 7: King of Salem, which Is King of peace, without father, without mother, without descent, having nettner beginning oi uays uur cuu of life but made like unto the Son of God, anldetu a priest xorever. It was however the allusion to Salem in Psalms 76 that caused the pious puritans to name their new world set- Jement: In Salem also Is his tabernacle. There is a Salem in each of the following states in addition .NEW LOVES FOR OLD Marie waa much Interested In going to the house party at Caro line Phillips, not merely because it would mean taking her first step back into life since she had gone to Paris to bury herself In obliv ion and get a divorce, and not only because her new friend, Bob Ran-! da II, would be there. I She was interested In seeing the offect on her self. Married at soveiiteen, she had never had any opinions, had hardly had any thoughts, that were not her hus band's. What Billy said, what Billy thought and wanted and believed, had ruled her lire. She had adored him, had wanted nothing but what suited him. (Now she realized what a mistake that had been. At twenty-two she was in many ways still a girl of seventeen. She had had no experi ence of life. During the short time after Billy's success, when they had gone about a great deal and met many people, she had somehow boon too much bewildered to know what she waa about. "I'll send a car for you," Caro line had told her when they said goodbye. "It will be at your hotel at two; that will get you up to the house In time for tea. Bring come sport clothes with you, dear; you'll need them we're awfully countri fied at Beechurst. And bring all your prettiest frocks unless I'm mistaken, Bob Randall has lost his head over you, and Is quito likely to lose his heart an well, with a bit of encouragement." Marie thought of that remark as she dressed for the drive to Beech urst. It seemed odd, to be consid ering the attentions of another man, when ahe couldn't help feel ing that she waa still married to Billy. "I've got to get over that, I sup pose," she reflected, as she fitted a tight little hat down close over her blonde hair. "Billy and I could be friends now, If he wanted to, but there's nothing more than that between us." Her eyes filled sudden ly with tears, and she brushed thorn away with a filmy handker chief. "Don't be a fool," she told herself furiously, "You've got to begin playing the game now you can't go around in a fool's para dise, the way you used to. It's new lives for old ones now, Marie Lane and you've got to hurry up and find a new one for yourself, in stead of moping over the one that's gone!" She was willing enough to accept that, but not to accept Caroline's suggestion that the new life might Include a new husband, possibly Bob Randall, among other things. She had feared that he might drive out to Caroline's In the car with her, and was relieved to find that this had not been planned. Only Caroline's young daughter, Sue, was In the car when Marie en tered it. "How do you do?" Sue held out her hand with all the poise and charm of a woman of her mother's age, instead of a girl of twelve. "You don't remember me, Mrs. Lane I was away at school when you used to come to our house." Marie settled down beside her, wondering if this could be the child whose photographs Caroline had always had on her dresser. Caro line adored Sue, she knew, but so did Caroline's first husband, Sue's father, and the little girl divided her time between them. She refer red to that arrangement now. "I'll be so glad to get back to Caro," she remarked. "Seeing Dad is lots of fun, but he la so anxious to give me a good time that well we Just go places every night, and I get tired of It after a little while.' "Oo places?" Marie echoed. "Yes theaters and big reatau rants and all that: I like It for about a month, but after that well, I do get tired of It. Dad's a darling I love him, of course, but if we aren't having some excite ment all the time he's afraid I'm not enjoying being with him. And then he's very athletic, you know plays polo and golf and handball and everything, and that's so strenu ous." Marie leaned back in her corner limply. A child of twelve, so so phisticated as all this! Caroline's motor was a beautiful thing, perfectly appointed, for a woman's use. Powder, rouge, lip sticks, were in a tiny case that fit ted Into the side of the car unos tentatiously. There were cigarettes holders, cunningly contrived ash trays, bon bons, smelling salts, each in 1U place. Conscious of her position as hostess, Suo offered Mario the can dy. "I don't eat it myself," she ex plained. "So bad for the complex ion. But perhaps you'd like some? Or a cigarette?" Marie refused, more bewildered than ever. Was It having two homes, two sets of parents, that made this child so unchlldllke? Her thoughts swung back to her own future, as they left the city behind and turned into the coun try. Could she do as Caroline and so many other women had done, leave one life and one love behind and step into the next, with never a look hack over her shoulder? For the first time In her life" ahe waa glad that she and Billy had had no children. At least, 1n their cases, the break was a clean one!
