CATCHINO up a bunch of copy paper
I dashed downstairs, barely escaped
Colliding with a baby carriage on Hie
College street sidewalk and ran all the
way to Chapel Btreot. where with only
tho fraction of a second to spare I
caught a car bound for Onund-i The
effort which this required satisfied for
the time being the need of Instant ac
tion which Mr. Parks had Instigated b
giving me the news of an accident In
volving my sister Barbara In his igno
rance of the real situation the city editor
uppoaed that he was sending a reporter
to investigate a runawaj, the remits cf
which, If not fatal, would undoubtedly
be serious; whereas, what for ma would
otherwise haa been simply ono among
the day's assignments Important, to be
sure, but still an Incident became a
tragedy. Instead of faring forth to In
spect, dry-eyed, the wene of the acrl-
r aani ana set uown in DiacK anu wnue
the exact extent of tho Injurlej received
by the physician and the young girl who
passed as his own child, I was on an
errand of great personal significance,
and terror had mo by the throat One
moment I shuddered at tho thought
of reaching the journcj's end, fearful of
what might confront me there, the next
moment suspense seemed Intolerable and
I grudged every halt wa made to take
on passengers or set them down
Ordinarily the service between Delling-
ton and ununaa was excellent, nut to
day, although my watch testified that
the regular schedule was maintained, my
heart cried out that we were moving at
a snail s pace
Directly the car arrived at Its ter
minus I jumped off and started up the
Elm street hill for the home of Doctor
Blake I had never pictured mvself go
lng there, but now that I was in the
line of duty it seemed perfectly natural
to stop short at the two-story brick
house, set tar back In a yard where
etately trees drooped protecting!' above
shell-bordered paths and bright-colored
flower beds Indeed my only wonder
was that I had the doorstep to myself.
When the servant answered my ring
ajid learned why I was there she called
out to somebody In the background, "It's
a reporter from the paper wants to
know about the accident "
A oice which I had heard before

IT DID seem that tho designers of long

Kirst of all let me tell jou about
tho belt, which Is piobably the most
striking feature nf the coat This is
In drawstring effect across the back
and sides, and recalled to my mind when

Hie number of inches tint Is consld

Divinity SchooN Attacked
Boston, Aug 17. A blunt attack on
the divinity schools of the country was
voiced by Prof. George a. Bartlett, dean
ot the Philadelphia Divinity School, In
an address to the conference of theo
logical professors and administrators of
United Htates and Canada In session at
Harvard.
Doctor Bartlett declared the schools
are trying to turn out scholars Instead
of practical ministers, and that as a
result lack of enthusiasm on tha part
IIH Allies have captured Holssons,"
we are told enthusiastically by
our awfully Intelligent friend "Ah," vve
exclaim dellghtedlj', "at last 1 ' And then
the first time vve have an opportunity
when talking to the very next person
vve taj', with studied carelessness, "Hy
the waj, who Is Holssons?' Those of us
who have been out of school long enough
to have to think whether an Island Is a
body of water completely surrounded by
land, or vice versa, certainly should pur
chase a war map. They can be secured
for ten cents, and they shpw the western
battlefront, both northern and southern
aeetimiH! tha Italian battlellne. and. in
tact, have eleven illustrations and fifteen
columns of descriptive matter. It will
certainly pay you to get one.
Summer dresses can be worn much
further Into the fall If jou have a taf

now is the time that these coats can
be secured for a mere song I sa,w
borne lovely taffeta coats todaj', very
modlshly made, for flC. They come In
black or dark blue.
Particularly If you are busy around
the house these warm days, you want to
change your clothes two and three times
a day And Is there any garment which
seems to get mussy and uncomfortable
as one's shirt I With the desire to change
so frequently, a welcome find Is the
little cotton undervest that Is priced at
ten centB. Even a slender purso could
aftqrd a number of these, and It Is such

Itlller's bed. tho transom between his
100m and Marg-iret's open, and they be
lieving that I had gone downstairs
When they began to talk I wanted to
cough to warn them In about two min
utes I was afraid I would hive to
cough
"Yes," Margnret was snjlng. "I think
Peter is looking better, but ho still has
that air of cheap smnrtness nbout him "
'Come, now; dont bi too bird on

sometimes " She Jaughed "If he
weren't suclt an Ignoramus, really nice
people would like him As It is, ho is
just smart jou know, but there Is noth
ing back of It
"If you talk to him about a movie

to him about anything worth while and

"Ills only lomment was 'That stuff

through wmk at night I want to got
away from It, not go and tackle soma
more
'There's a lot In what jou ray,"
sighed Mrs Hlller. "I wish It were
poFjdhle to lell him what his friends
really think of him without hurting his
feelings I'm afraid, however," here
she sighed, "that it can t bo done, fiut
It dos seem a sh line that a boy a
really nice boj1 In the making should
be slipping back Just becauso he doesn't
understand what business Is "
"Ho soon got over his love affair with
jou, didn't he, Margie, dear?"
Oh, he never was In love with me."
she chuckled "Ho a merely In love
with, love The poor little chap doesn't
know the meaning of the word vet Why.
It was only fortv -eight bonis after I had
to tell him not to be bo silly that he got
engaged to that department store girl
Just a frovvsj -headed, gum-chewing
minx that's til she In "
Wow ! Wouldn't Uosle be tickled to
hoar that?
"The tioiible Is, that as long as the
lad has anj thing to do with a girl of
that kind, really nice people aren't going
to bother with Jilm He has to do one
of two things If he wants to mix with
sensible people. He must either give up
that silly joung puss, or If he sticks to
her all his friends wilt leave him, and
he will have to be satisfied with those
stupid, pseudo-smart, flaBhy folks who
are that girl's friends"
Again there was silence for a second,
then Margaret said' "It's all so stupid,
Isn't It?"
' "What are you talking about now,
my dear?' asked Mrs Hlller,
"I was thinking of Peter again Just
thinking of the positively dreadful way

' "Why don't jou send him oome good

would read It "
"More likely he would feel peeved with
me," she laughed, "for while Peter Is
foolish he Is no fool "
I'-m " thought I, "glad there's Mme
hope for me "
"I'll tell you what to do, Margie,"
said Mrs Wller "Ask him about Ills
girl and then see If jou can't glvo him a
bit of advice He will probably take It
from jou, particularly on n day like
this"
'Hm1" fho chuckled and said: 'The
first thing I would advise him to do
would ha to tako that horrible purple
and jellow neoktle off and wear a
human one It would look fine on n
Kentucky roustabout, but on him why.
It makes him look llko an animated

'That," I thought, "sounds almost In
decent I must look It up In the dic

' Notice his clothes, for Instance,
mother He has shown excellent tasto
in selecting his suit, and jet thnt cheap

sho shuddered, ' thero ought to be a law

"And yellow shoes, my dear," her
mcrtier laughed 'Darling, It we didn't
know our friend Peter we might almost
tako him for an advance agent for a
circus "
' Oh, mother, that Isn't fair," protested
Margaret. "I once saw an advance
agent and he was really quite a nice
looking person "
"lllght where the chicken got It," I
thought
"Seems to me," remarked Mrs Hlller,
'that txiept for Peter's manner, his
clothes, his way of talking, hlB Igno
rance and his poor choice of a sweet
heart, he's all right."
"Oh mother, we have Vicon mean,
haven t vve? Because Peter Is rather a
dear, jou know. He would do most
anything for you, and is alunjs cheerful
and obliging"
I gavo a llttlo bow of acknowledg
ment "And If he would only take stock of
himself, as it were, und, as Wallace Bays,
get rid of the damaged goods and put In
a new line, he would get on well. He
must have something to him, though,
because he Is selling life insurance quite
sucressfullj-, and thev bay that's no
cinch"
"You were the one who talked nbout
Pctet'B slang Just a moment ago,"
laughed Mrs itlller
' Oh 1 that's permissible."
"I suppose it's permissible because
Philip bays It "
"Oh, well; It's different when Philip
sajs It, somehow "
Then I heard footsteps on the stairs
so fchut my eyes and pretended that I
was asleep A minute later In came
Wallace and Henry Boynton
"Hurry up, fellows!" Wallace called
out "Wo have got to get dressed, You
