was
trying to decide a very Impor­
tant matter. The question was: Should
she marry John Dlxton or John
Hawksbury?
Had her parents In­
sisted that she marry Dlxton rhe
would have known what to do at
once—she would have gone right off
and married Hawksbury. Or if they
had picked out Hawksbury she would
have seep., at once that her destiny
pointed to Dlxton. But the cruel- par­
ents were of no help whatever; they
would only say thut whichever Of the
two young men Charlotte preferred
would be sausfuctury to them. Ti>e
fact was that both the Johns had
their good points and lots of them;
and Charlotte had known them both
for ever so long.
SojnetltAcs she felt sure that she
loved Dlxton best and would write
down “Charlotte Dlxton,’’ and “Mrs.
John Dlxton" on a- sheet of paper,
. just to see how It would look. And
then Hawksbury would muke him­
by the
self especially agreeable of on eve­
ning and the next day she would
be writing “Charlotte Hawksbury”
to try the effect, she evolved the
idea of setting the two youths little
tasks to do for her by which their
love might be proved, audited and
placed on file. But Dlxton’s exploit
of responding to her expressed wish

dozen by cuble from Panama was
capped by Hawksbury’a burglarizing a
greenhouse to procure her a certain
rare flower which she wanted and
which could tfot be found at the
florist's.
.
Dlxton had a Jlttle more money
than Hawksbury; but Hawksbury’a
family had a little better social stand­
ing. Dlxton played on various musi­
cal Instruments divinely; but Huwks-
bury sang like an angel and Dlxton
could not sing at all.
And so on,
and so forth—and there she was I

She was perfectly sure that
she wanted one of them and she had

me see—that would be next Wednes­
day. Dlxton’s night Is Thursday.”
Winter being now over the land, a
skating party- was planned.
Char­
lotte and her two Johns were, of
course, Included.
A fire had been
kindled near the shore of the lake
where the young people were going
to skate.
Charlotte, with some of
her girl companions, was standing
by it, warming her hands In a pause
between her skating, when sudden
cries of alarm arose from the people
on the frozen surface of the lake and
Charlotte’s little sister came running
up, crying out: “Oh, Lottie! John
has broken through the ice and been
drowned I”
Charlotte gave a shriek and started
to run wildly toward the lake crying
out: “John, John, oh, John, dear I”
John Hawksbury appearing, apparent­
ly from nowhere, confronted her.
"Don’t be alarmed, dear,” said he:
“I'm all right."
"You,” she cried, ‘‘you? What do I
core about you? It’s my John I want.”
Aud, surrounded by his rescuers,
her John, aurnamed Dlxton, was seen
approaching, dripping wet from hav­
ing been fished out of an “air hole”
through which he had fallen, and
shivering violently from his Immer­
sion in the Icy water. Charlotte, right
before everybody, threw her arms
around his shaking, dripping form and
whitqtered: ‘Til say ‘Yea’ right now,
John. You seed not wait until next
Thursday to ask me again.”
Roman Wedding
Among ancient writers on the sub­
ject of the “Wedding Cake," Quintus
Curtins Is probably the most definite
and reliable, for he quotes clearly the
laws <W Romulus, based upon those of
the Etruscans and the other race«
whose advent preceded the founda­
tion of Rome. In those days It ap-
i>enrs to have been customary for the
f>imllle| of the "young people” to en­
ter Into certain prenuptial agreements
for the future provision of their son
and daughter—much as "showers” are
given to a bride at the present time.
Thea«, agreements were ratified at the
marriage festival, and accompanied by
a lavish outpouring of corn, oil and
other kinds of food, a ceremony which
practically constituted the wedding

One of the particular features of this

quency currents and extraneous noises.

The use of a 24-lnch panel makes the
set a compact one without unnecessary
crowding and interstage coupling,
which would be detrimental to satis-
factory operation. There is no over-
crowding In the panel Isyout and each
of the controls Is so placed for con-
venience in tuning. The use of real
vernier dials makes tuning a pleasure.
The controls are by no means com­
plicated or difficult to operate. A
rheostat Is used for the detector tube,
another for the two radio-frequency
amplifier tubes, and a third for the
audio stages. The sockets are uni­
versal and therefore permit the use
of either storage battery or dry cell
types of tubes. A resilient spring ac­
tion in the socket design assures a
perfect contact and the elimination of
mlcropbonlc noises by Its non-rlgldlty.

*10 the selection of apparatus as
listed above It would be well to just
consider the reasons for their use. The
pickle-bottle type of low-loss winding
has become very popular because of its
high selectivity features. The colls,
when used with the condensers men­
tioned. cover the complete wave­
length band as required for our popu­
lar broadcast reception. The vernier
dials have the unusuH feature of a
variable vernier ratio. In other words,
the vernier adjustment can be made
coarse or fine, as desired.
Color Wiring.
The use of color scheme in wiring Is
based on some definite plan that is to
be followed. In wiring the Bet this
schedule should be followed:
All negative “A” leads use black.
All positive "A" leads use red.
All grid leads use green.
All positive “B“ amplifier lecds use
brown.
All positive “B” detector leads use
yellow.
In building the function and poten­
tial of each lead can then be told at a
glance.
Don't permit the wiring to'run too
close to the colls. Keep all the plate
and grid lends as short as possible.
