except Irma. Now her looks are go

her health can't stand the rlgora of
a Ooorgla climate!"
"But ..ouldn't you think she'd be
afraid to leave a man like Blake at
the morcy of the vultures?"
"Oh, he's a martyr on the altar.
She knows be wouldn't divorce her
without some flagrant cause, and she
stays at home Just enough to retain

"They never had any children T"
"No. She used to go around sob

but that was tor the gallery. She's
always been neurotic."
"8weet," Carol commented grim

and the coldness of his eyes.
"Very." Cornelia dipped her lao
quercd nails delicately Into a finger
bowl. "What'll we do oow?"
"Go nnme, I guess. It's after nine.
and I'm still a little battered after a
day's work. Why can't you stop In

"I'll be delighted."

hod so much, was groping too. She
hadn't even the excuse of compara

She took In Carol's apartment at
a glance, and nodded. "Damn nice,
especially In view of what you had
to work with. I wish It were mine."
Cornelia tlngerod bar drink and
smiled. "Not bad for a working girl."
"Oh. this was Pat's parting gift,
and the glasses came from home. In

"There's plenty available."
"Yenh. The only catch Is In paying

She fanned her cards expert);

"One club."
Mrs. LaConte was tumbling
through her cards. "Walt a minute;
you're too fast for me." She squinted
long and carefully at her hand and
then peered over It at Irma. "Whst

"One dub."
She leaned slightly forward. "And
you passed, partner?"
"It wasn't my bid," ber partner
said patiently. "Mrs. Thornton

"Oh, 1 see." She settled back snc

Under the haren rule of Francisco

conquest with Brarll, Argentina and

tyrant's death March 1. 870.
It Is belloved that no one nation.
In so brief a time, hss ever suffered
such terrlflo human losaee In pro
portion to her population as those
stood by Paraguay In the five years
of warfare. Allowing for a normal
rote of population increase, she lost
over 1,300,000 Inhabitants, leaving less
man one-iourtn or that number aa her
entire population at tne close of hos
tilities. Of the remainder there were
only 3B.74c men aa against 302.333
women and children.
Practically the entire population
was enlisted in the army during the
height of the conflict. Whole bat
talions were organized containing
boys ranging In age from 13 to is
and one detachment, "The Battalion
of Death," waa composed entirely of
women 1
There was no alternative of defeat
or surrender for the soldiers of the
Paraguayan army only death or vic
tory. A special line of picked men
was stationed behind the front Una
of fighters to shoot down sny of
them who attempted to flee end
every soldier was under oath to kill
any of his comrades who showed
the "white feather."
"Conquest or Death" was the motto
of the army, and It was death to
the majority. The few males left in
the country at the ultimate surren
der were practically all so enfeebled
by ege they were Incapable of battle
or children too young to fight,
even In youth battalions.
