DISSONANCE
My thoughts brash against the stars,
lad you creep ap behind me,
Asking:
“Do yon think we should order
One or two quarts of milk s day?
Does the installment come dne on the
car
The first or the 15th?
Shall we have steak or chops for
dinner?
And pettingly:
“Don’t yon think you could write on
your play.
Dear, in the sewing room this after-
noon
While I entertain
Bridge?"

TN GASES of serious Illness Doctor
A Lanning did not attend members of
• his own family, but when Martha had
hysterics that night In midsummer
when Lanning accidently encountered
• her in the act of eloping with Peter
Letson he did not consider her condi-
tion serious enough to reqdire the
services of an outside physician. Hav-
ing hysterics, under the circumstances,
was entirely normal. But even norma?
symptoms needed treatment, so after
Peter had been dismissed with a curt
good night from Doctor Lanning and
a look of mute and tearful entreaty
from Martha, Doctor Lanning escorted
his sobbing daughter to her room, gave
her a drink of cold water and told her
to go to bed and to stay In her room
for two or three days.
The interception of Martha's elope-
ment had been quite accidental as far
as Doctor Lanning was concerned. He
had been roused at midnight by the
ringing of his telephone. A country
patient wanted him to come at once
and rather drowsily, but with all
speed, the doctor had put on his
clothes and had gone downstairs and
out to the garage to get his car when
he heard whispers In the driveway
ahead of him. Before he even realized
that the two young people standing
there were his daughter, Martha, and
Peter Letson, he heard a shrill shriek
of alarm. He knew the voice was
Martha’s and Martha was standing
there in hat and light coat with a lit-
tle traveling bag.
The really surprising thing about It
all, as Doctor Lanning thought after
he had got his daughter to promise
that she would not make another at-
tempt to elope during his absence, and
had finally started off In his car, was
that there was no sane reason why
Martha and Peter should have planned
an elopement
Doctor tanning didn’t realize then
that the elopement had come as the
result of Martha’s desire to have what
she considered a romantic marriage.
And now for the first time Doctor Lan-
ning felt a decided disapproval of
Peter, and when the next morning
Peter telephoned to ask permission to
speak with him and Martha the doctor
curtly refused. He also, warned the

young man that any letters or mes-
sages he might send to his daughter
would not be delivered. She was at
present confined to her room In a state
of nervous excitement.
From a distance Peter watched the
tanning house, and when he saw the
doctor’s car start out on his morning
round of calls he cautiously drew near.
Painters were at work on the house—
looking at them Peter had a bright
idea. And when Doctor tanDing re-
turned an hour or so later he might
have observed that whereas three men
had been working on ladders and
scaffolds when he left there were now
four.
About ten o’clock the next morning
Doctor tanning backed his car out of
the garage and down the driveway
that ran close to the house and then
to the road. Martha’s room was on
that side Just above the driveway—
Doctor Lanning had gone to the
garage from a back door of the house
and had not noticed a painter’s long
ladder braced against the side of the
house with base planted in the gravel
driveway. Doctor tanning reversed
his car. He hacked and then above
the sound of his engine he heard a
shout, a rattling of wood and a splash
of something limp and liquid on the
top of his car. This was the pail of
paint that had been held by the paint-
er on the ladder which the car hit aa
the doctor backed from the garage.
The ladder lay flat on the ground.
He looked anxiously to see If he
had extinguished some poor painter
when he knocked the ladder down.
l!e looked up and there he saw a tall
young man In white overalls clinging
desperately to the window sill—and
thou he saw two fair arms stretch out
the open window and, after a few sec-
onds when it seemed as if the young
man might lose his hold on the win-
dow sill entirely, his tall lank figure
was drawn into the house.
Doctor tanning hurried upstairs and
Into his daughter’s room. He opened
the door and to his amazement saw
Martha standing there with the paint-
er’s arms about her—and the painter
was Peter Letson.
Doctor Lanning began to laugh. So
did Peter, and finally Martha.
“I had to see Martha—to see what
she wanted me to do atmut the elope-
ment,” stammered Peter, "and since
you wouldn't let me even write, I got
the painter to give me a Job. I bribed
him for the privilege of working on
this side of the house. I have spent
most of iny time for two days painting
the frames of Martha’s windows. The
paint Is so thick there I dare say It
will have to be scraped off—’’
“And then 1 came along and knocked
the ladder out from under you,"
laughed the doctor. “It was very In-
considerate of you to let the paint
drop on the top of my car—that will
ha've to be scraped off, too." He
puused and looked whimsically at
Martha atod Peter. "You’re not going
to try another elopement, are you?
No objections to a regular wedding—
any time you and Martha want lt.“
Or some other poetic abstraction.
You become swiftly unreasonable,
Go out Into the kitchen,
Bang the door,
And bring me back
To marriage 1

There ia no physical exercise In be-

Those who are wicked have cease-

If you fear to hastily cultivate In-

asking his adviee.
Some do not seek to overcome your
opposition. They go away and make
a huge success somewhere else.
Art Is art, but do you feel any more
spiritually uplifted before a marble

Chapel at Han Antonio, Texas, Inset ia W. A. Fraser, president,
for whom the chapel was named.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Nov. 22.
—By auto, train, airplane and foot
came thousands of members of the
Woodmen of the World Life In-
surance association from nearly
every state in the Union to help
celebrate the dedication of the
William Alexander Fraser chapel
and bird sanctuary this afternoon.
The beautiful chapel ia on the
grounds of the W. 0. W. War Me-
morial hospital a short distance
from San Antonio.
From early morning until late in
the evening, the exceptionally
large number of W, 0. W. pilgrims
inspected the chapel and bird
sanctuary, as well as the hospital
and its spacious grounds.
They were thrilled by the mas-
terful oration of U. S. Senator
Church choir, a number by the San
Antonio Uederkranx, a feature by
the Beethoven Maennerehor and
organ recitals by Ben Stanley of
Omaha, Nebraska, Walter Dunham
and John M. Steinfeldt.
The beautiful chimes of the
Chapel lent much atmosphere to
the impressive occasion. ■>
Thousands were guesta of W. 0.
W. at a huge barbecue of products
from the farm of the W. 0. W.
hospital. Many members of the
association came as guests of W.
0. W., having won their expenses
to the dedication by special per-
formance in a large membership
campaign.
The chapel was named for Wil-
liam Alexander Fraaer, president
Morris Sheppard, national treas- I °f W. 0. W., because of his per-
urcr of W. O. W.t who made the sonal enthusiasm and long devotion
