Most every one knows by this tlmo tho
process of going up. It Is tho thrill that
evades tho telling. At first I felt almost un

Philadelphians Believe Action

Part of State
n A movement to remove the'Stato suffrage
tojquarters from Harrlsburg to Philadel
phia Is afoot In the Woman's Suffrage Party
f Pennsylvania. This agitation comes as
a result of a recommendation passed at tho
IUU board rr.jctlng at Harrlsburg yester
T urging that the change be mado on tho
Pounds that, as the Legislature does not
fonvene next winter, no advantage is to
to derived from the maintenance of head
rtera at the State capital.
The projected removal has a peculiar Big
, lUcance In that the transfer of State head
J'tnartera from Philadelphia to Harrlsburg
Nreral years ago centralized suffrage ao

PLOT THICKENS, MAYBE;
WOLF HAS VANISHED
He's of Teuton Strain and Over
brook Household Is Distressed
by His Disappearancd
Hist I More plots maybe.
Another mystery creeps Into the lime
light. Whero Is Wolf? Is ho another nrch
consplrator? He Is of Teuton strain.
Wolf has been ln this country about three
years. Ho came over at the outbreak of the
European war. Wolf lived a life of case,
surrounded with luxury. He was admired
by all who knew him. He is of a striking
appearance. I
Right In the- midst of the many exposures
Wolf disappeared. To be exact It was last
Monday afternoon. "Nary hide nor hair of
him" has been seen since that time.
"Looks mighty suspicious," Quoth one
of the many amateur Investigators who
has been endeavoring to force his analytical
and deductive mind at tho disposal of Frank
Garbarlno, the special agent of the Depart
ment of Justice
"Simple matter. Put two and two to
gether," nonchalantly added the civilian
sleuth.
Still the matter Is unsolved. Wolf left
his home. Nobody saw him depart. Iia
was without a collar. That may prove
to bo a clue. His hair is slightly streaked
with gray. Tho matter Is serious. A suit
able reward is offered for information con
cerning tho whereabouts of Wolf,
Wolf Is a German police dog, or In other
words a GeVman wolf hound. Ho is the
pet of Mrs. Samuel Humphrey, cf 63D1
Overbrook avenue. Just before the war, Mrs.
Humphrey and her daughter Adele were
abroad. While in Paris they saw Wolf and
were Immediately attracted by his beauty.
They brought him to America.
The land of freedom apparently nppealed
to Wolf, Likewise the magnificent resi
dences In Overbrook and the many caresses
he received. Life was one grand song of
tranquillity and luxurious ease. Motoring
Was one of Wolf's favorite pastimes. He al
ways occupied a position on the folded top
of the large touring car of the Humphrey
residence
Th dog is tan and streaked with gray,
His departure has caused great regret In the
Humphrey household. Wolf Is sorely missed.

A STORY FOR SPARE MOMENTS
The Separation That Didn't Separate
MRS. MADIKON, dressed In cool lavender,
her bright, dark eyes shining, her
whole being nlert and virile with llfo,
walked up the path to her daughter's home,
tapped lightly on the screen door and with
out waiting for nn Invitation proceeded to
her (laughter's room, wlero she paused u
moment listening, She heard a little sound
nnd she milled. "Well, if Dora Is gono
Young Peter mut bn here somewhere. I
can hear him sniffling," sho thought.
Mrs. Mndlson pushed open the door, ex
pecthig to find Young Peter sitting In his
crib wide eyed Hnd nlono It wns a rep
rehcnslblo hnhlt of Dora's to put Young
Peter to sleep and then ruin nut on an
errand To Mrs. Madison's nnmzeinent, In
stead of seeing Young Peter fho saw her
daughter Dora humped up her head mi her
orms, her nrtns sprawled out upon a small
table, her work on tho floor, her hair ills
ordered and all this nt 3 o'clock In tho
afternoon, when methodical Mrs. Miullfon
considered such disorder ns near a crime
ns anything that could como Into her placid
life.
Dora did not look up, but' the llttlo nolso
Mrs Madison thought might bo Young Peter
breathing procd to bo daughter Dora sob
bing "Dora, why, Dnra! What has hap
pened? Have you had ncws7 Is Peter
sick or Young Peter Injured, or what?
Mrs, Mndlson asked
Dora straightened up a little, her face
turned from her mother. "Mother, I I -really
wish you wouldn't traverse this
houso like a burglar, I wish you'd you'd
let mo alone I" Hero Dora subsided ngain
nnd slumped down on the tnblc.
"Well, hut, Dora, you always want me
to como right In; you nlways want to havo
mo search till I do find you, or something
to Interest mo till you appear from nn un
known place placo or country or errand.
You never cry! I can't seo why. If you liao
something tn cry about, you don't tell me
right off Maybo it Isn't ns bad as you
think It can't be that now hat? Did
Poter object to tho color of tho bill or "
Mrs Madison paused, still nmazed and dis
turbed. "Mother," Dora said with as much dle

swollen and one's eyes nro red with much
weeping and when ono docsn t want to bo
Interfered with. "I may ns well tell you the
worst I nm going to Icavo Peter! I've
thought about It for n long time."
"Going to leave Peter! Going to Icavo
Peter'" Hery accent of oIco and manner
was Italicized and capitalized.
"Yes," firmly, though Dora's lips quiv
ered so sho could hardly rontrol them.
"Then I'ctcr did object to tho hat or the
hill. I'vo nlways wondered a little, Dora,
If Peter were qulto ns much of a saint as
you havo made him dut. My poor child!"
Mrs. Mndlson ns sho collapsed Into a chair
looked woebegone.
''Peter Is just as much of a
saint as I ever made him seem to
be," Dora returned. "I wish to goodness
ho wasn't," sho asserted with heat, "Peter's
too good! When I showed him that hat
what do j'ou think ho Wild?"
"Ho said It wns a fearful extravagance
and gaudy In color," Mrs. Mndlson returned
virtuously,
"Tlint shows Just how little you know
I eter. What ho did say was this: 'Why,
"ora, how pretty you look. That coTor
gives you ten years' leaso of life. You
urns too soberly, and now I'vo found it
"!': . 1m going to mako an especial fund
wncli I shall ran Dorn's rcjuvemitnr fund,
id 1 II put ccry extra dollar I get Into
" How much did that hat cost?' And
when I told hint the price expecting to
seo his Jaw droop and his eyes bulge, he
laughed yes, laughed and said; Well,
thats more like It that Is moro llko tho
things I want you to have.'"
"And you're going to leao Peter for
that? Mrs. Madison nsked slowly. "And
whero aro you going, and what aro you
going to do, after you leavo Petcr7"
"I hao It all llxed up. I can work
enough to earn my HUng. I do work right
along, nil the time, nnd such work ns I do
Is really worth money remuneration, and
I can be myself, and not bo subject to any
one, especially any one's goodness'"
"That's quite true. You wouldn't be
bored by that much," Mrs, Mndlson said
decisively. "Hut thero must bo other rea
sons which enter into this."
"Well, mother, I'll tell you. You'll havo
to know, anyway, so I may as well tell,
I'm tired of Peter I don't ilko nny of his
ways; they ate all obnoxious to me. I don't
llko the way his hair curls up at tho base
of his head. I hato that llttlo wave on his
forehead. 1 dlsllko tho color of his neck
ties. Ills clothes or always so neat. I
don't llko that and he will put a glngersnnp
Into his eoffeo to moisten It!"
"I wonder, Just about how a lawyer nnd
a Judgo In a divorce court would look on
such awful misdemeanors," Mrs. Madison
mused softly "As to that last and nwful
charge about tho glngersnap, you could
easily eliminate that by eliminating the
glngersnap from your menu."
"Why, so I could." sho said qulto sanely.
"I never thought of that."
"You're tired, that's wnat's tho matter,"
Mrs. Madison returned.
"I'm perfectly well. I really don't have

Many a woman of slender even very slight

as much as any stout woman.
The form of the "Vondcrlift Bandlet shown above
gives the gentle support that brings a grateful sense
of uplift; relieves strain on nerves and ligaments;
and produces the youthful, buoyant feeling that
keeps one's face -young and smiling.

No other corset resembles even remotely the
Nemo Wonderlift in the healthfashion service these
marvel corsets give. No matter what your figure,
you should frtew Wonderlift,
ns much as I should llko to do and I ofton
find myself rubbing or dusting something
that doesn't need It."
UWell, Dora, I suppose you will admit
that I am some, older than you nre."
"Oh, yes, but then human life and expe
rience don't count so much. It Js the dull
ness of It. Now, father he's new and dlf
fercnt all lho time. Ho nlways has a
pleasant word and a Joke.or something. But

faults fascinating?"

ndmltted Dora, curiously trou-
"Neither docs any woman. As for your
father's facetlousness nnd dirferentness
why. they almost drive me mad sometimes."
Mrs. Madison spoke with conviction.
"Mother I" gasped Dora. "Why, I thought
you and father "
"wen, we do. We get along fine.
I didn't go away by myself and If lib didn't

So Dora went away, nnd Mrs. Mndlson
nnd Young Peter really had the time of
their lives. Peter was very Interesting
