MAY 17, 1923 JOHN MITCHELL, IR APR17 10:10 LIBRARY THE RICHMOND PLANET HARRY WILLS TO TRAIN NEAR RICHMOND Famous Pugilist Locates Camp at De Witt, Va. VOLUME XLIII, NO. 23 HARRY Famous Many New York, April 13.—Leaving for his farm down in Petersburg, Va... with a staff of sparring partners, Harry Wills expressed no great optimism over his prospects of getting into the ring with Jack Dempsey this year. No man could have spoken with greater forbearance of Dempsy than Wills did and if some time or other the champion does not give the black panther a chance to knock his block off the best that can be said of him will be that he is an ingrate. April 15, for example, is an important date, in one respect, at least. It is upon this day that Floyd Fitzsimmons and others interested in the Niles, Mich., agreement between Dempsy and Wills will have to come forward and complete the $25,000 payment which Wills is to receive by virtue of this contract. Some say that Mullins, Harry's manager, received $5,000 of this sum when he affixed his name to the agreement. Others say not, Mullins has never said anything. Anyway, it is certain that a considerable amount of cash is still due the firm of Mullins, Wills and Company. Will they get it? The dope is that they will not. Such being the case the Dempsy-Wills affair, so far as Floyd Fitzsimmons et al., are concerned, is up the river and there will be a free field for other promoters. Tex Rickard will be in the Middle West at this time. He says he is going to be there on business connected with his projected Chicago arena. This may be true, but there is no reason why he might not be there on other business as well. In the meantime Tex is full of plans of various sorts. One is a project to have Rocky Kansas defend his lightweight title against Solly Seeman. It shows the poor state into which the lightweight division has fallen when the fans are asked to save up their coin to pay their way into a Kansas-Seeman bont. REV. TARTT DOING GREAT WORK. Rev. Eli Tartt, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of Petersburg Va., is conducting a revival at Zion Baptist Church, South Richmond, Rev. J. W. Dudley, pastor.

Finley Wilson, while in Richmond Thursday, April 8th, en route to Chase City, Va., where he as scheduled to deliver an emancipation address, paid a visit to Williams' Lodge of this city which held its regular meeting on that night. Having been advised that the Grand Exalted Ruler would be in Richmond on the meeting night of his lodge, Exalted Ruler Aubrey Jones extended the invitation which was promptly accepted by the Grand Exalted Ruler and a committee composed of Dr. L. J. Reld, and M. J. Harris was appointed to serve as escort for the distinguished visitor. The Grand Exalted Ruler was presented to the lodge by Exalted Ruler Jones with appropriate remarks. Mr. Wilson after having expressed his gratification at being present in Williams' Lodge gave a detailed account of his recent travels abroad. He related numerous incidents of the trip in a very delightful manner and said that it had ben one continuous round of pleasure. He also devoted some time reviewing the official acts of his administration. Peyr. Tribute to Carter. In the course of his remarks, the Grand Exalted Ruler paid a high tribute to Grand Treasurer James T. Carter, of this city, and referred to the fact that at Dayton, Ohio, he had been instrumental in persuading Carter to run for office as hitherto it had been Carter's custom to always run from office. He said that when Carter took office the treasury was bankrupt, but during his incumbency in office, it had continued to grow until it reached its present proportions, due to the efficient and honest conduct of the office by Mr. Carter. "I never bother about Carter's office," said the Grand Exalted Ruler, "because he can always be depended upon to attend to it himself." He felt that Carter would continue in office as long as he desired as "everybody wants him for Grand Treasurer." Loves To Come To Richmond. He closed his speech wit his glowing tribute to Richmond and Williams' Lodge. "I always love to come to Richmond to get inspiration. She knows how to put over big propositions. Williams' Lodge has made more substantial gains under my administration than any other lodge in the jurisdiction, both in the increase in her membership and the caliber of men composing the membership. Her members are men of sterling worth and Williams' Lodge pays more taxes than any other lodge in Virginia," Boys, I can only say to you, "Carry On," was the conclusion paragraph of the delightful address of the Grand Exalted Ruler. Exalted Ruler Aubrey Jones called upon M. A. Norrell to respond to the address of the Grand Exalted Ruler. Grand Treasurer Carter also was called upon for remarks. After the meeting closed, a reception was tendered the Grand Exalted Ruler and refreshments were served those attending. At 3:00 A. M. Mr. Wilson was escorted to the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. D. J. Farrar, after expressing himself well pleased with the evening spent at Williams' Lodge and in its beautiful home. He left Richmond 6:00 A. M. Friday morning for Chase City, Va. Mr. W. T. Gray has a successful business and the patrons will cross the city in order to have him serve them. He carries automobile accessories and supplies and is an expert at the repairing. RICHMOND VIRGINIA.

THE FIRST AFRICAN BAUTIST CHURCH CHOIR DELIGHTS HUNDREDS. The choir of the First African Baptist Church delighted a capacity audience Easter Sunday evening, when the choir with Mrs. Eva B. Evans, director, Miss Claudine R. Webster at the organ, Walter Lively, violinist, rendered excerpts from "The Crucifixion," by Stainer. Edward B. Reeves, tenor, was heard to advantage in the recitative "And They Came to a Place Called Gethemane," singing with deep feeling, "The Majesty of Divine Humiliation." Emanuel Mansfield, heard several weeks ago in initial recital, was baritone soloist. He rendered his numbers very well, particularly was he good in the duet (tenor and baritone). "So Thou Liftest Thy Divine Petition." The men's chorus sang with a fervor and tone quality seldom heard in church choirs, or at least male members of church choirs. The audience was appreciably moved by their rendition of "When Jesus, Therefore, Saw His Mother" and "After this, Jesus Knowing All Things." The chorus work on the whole was exceptionally well done. Especially is this true in the choruses "God So Loved he World" and "Is It Nothing to You?" One of the outstanding features of the musical was the singing of "There Is a Green Hill Far Away," by Miss Clara A. Ivory, soprano soloist of the choir. --- Philadelphia, Pa., March 20, 1926. Mr. A. W. Holmes, Founder of the National Ideal Society, Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: I am writing to let you know that I received the check of $100 by deputy M. T.

ZION NOTES In spite of the inclement weather last Sunday "Zion" was well filled, those who came to the morning service could well say, "our hearts were filled to overflowing." At 3:30 o'clock the members and friends gathered for the communion service. It was a great feast, the crowd was large and seemed filled with the spirit. In the midst of the service the West Point and Richmond bus drove up to the door filled with members of the West Point Church. They came on a visit to our pastor, Rev. O. B. Simms, B. Th., and Mrs. Simms, who spent five years in their midst working with them for the upbuilding of the community and to the glory of God. The members of Rising Mt. Zion and friends from West Point joined hands and hearts as they gathered around the Lord's table, presided over by this eloquent man of God who was formerly their pastor. We bid them "come again" as their visit will live long in our memories. The delegation was headed by Rev James Wilson, who has become the leader of the colored people of West Point since the coming of our pastor to Richmond. Our rally bids fair to be a success, we hope every member and friend will report on the fourth Sunday in April. Zion continues to grow, the pastor expects to fellowship twenty-five new members on the second Sunday in May, eighteen will be baptised Wednesday night, May 5th. On Easter Sunday, Dr. B. B. Bagby, chief health inspector of the city, who practiced medicines at West Point during Rev. Simms pastorate there, worshipped with us. After the service he delivered a splendid address on the "Gospel of Good Health," which was well received by a large and appreciative audience. During the past week the following able divines, accompanied by their choirs, preached soul-stirring sermons for the benefit of the "Streets Rally," held by Mrs. O. B. Simms, Rev. J. H. Roots, Rev. L. C. Garland, Rev. A. D. Daly, Rev. W. H. Spurlock-and Rev. T. J. King. REV. HUGHES RETURNS The Rev. W. A. C.

Some young folks will just "die" for fine dress and they do not care how they get it. "Who enters here leaves hope behind" seems to be a matrimonial warning to young folks. You get into trouble and you'll find out your friends. It's God's way of snowing them to you. There are many things we do in the name of the Lord that the Lord does not know anything about. Read the Planet. Speak well of it. You help us by this method and many people are helping us. Trusting in God is all right. To say you can do it will be of little service until you exemplify your faith by your works. It is at times a difficult thing to do, but try it. Cultivate a friendly relationship with the people about you, be they white or colored. Some folks are never so happy as they are when they are arising the ire of some other folks. They delight both to tease and to anger. We have some of the best colored folks in the world, here-abouts and some time we think some of the worst, but the great majority of them are the best. May the good Lord deliver us from a grouchy person, be that person a man or a woman. If it be a woman, then a place in the lower regions is to be preferred. If some people we know did not have any tongues, they would be better off. But since we come to think of it they would look it and the effect would be the same. You make a great mistake if you think all of the white folks are against the colored folks in the South-land. Some of the biggest enemies of the colored folks are some other colored folks. Do not forget that. They have a case in New York city that has been in the court for thirty-four years. Millionaires or multi-millionaires must be concerned. It will last until the money runs out. The Moroccan War is continuing and it means that Spain and France will be required to spend about one hundred dollars for every one dollar spent by this able and wily chieftain. Young girls, as a rule know more than their parents and young men as a rule are wise in their own conceit. God has a way of convincing both of these classes of people and it is down the road of privation and suffering. When "Pussy-foot" Johnson stated openly that he lied and drank for the purpose of furthering prohibition, he lost not only his self-respect, but that of the entire Christian world. If Temperance and Prohibition are synonymous with this class of of parpagandist, then we see the doom of the movement. United States District Attorney Buckner, of New York, stated that he believed that it would cost seventy-five thousand million dollars just to enforce prohibition in southern New York. The government might try it provided the residential section of that great metropolis was converted into jails to provide a place to incarcerate the criminals. You cannot do right and wrong at one and the same time. You cannot serve both God and the Devil and claim to be a follower of the Lamb. You cannot blow hot and cold at the same time. You must be on the one side or the other. You must decide to do right or make up your mind to do wrong. To be a hypocrite is to be worse than an infidel. Do not forget that$ ^{a}$ When a man gets the women down on him, he might as well, "take up his bed and walk." And the further he walks the better for him and his safety and happiness. Women are au tues the best and the worst of the creatures on God's globe and yet men will go half way around the earth to find one of them. Funny world this is. It is reported that Ebenezer Baptist Church at its last regular meeting enfranchised the women members of the church. They have been controlling the church ever since we have been living in this city and that is a life-time, but we suppose that it is now a matter of open record. "The band that rocks the cradle rules the world." 'It always has done it and if we are not mistaken, it always will. Hon. B. J. Davis won out in the Republican State Convention, in Georgia and was endorsed as Republican National Committeeman from that State. We congratulate him and his constituents. He is the coming Republican statesman from that "neck of the woods." There is no hypocrisy about him. You know in advance just where he stands and he "stays hitched." We are downright glad at the outcome of affairs in Georgia. While Marcus Garvey is passing through the stormiest era of his life his two wives are appearing upon the scene of action to give him more trouble. It is all on account of money. He was a great leader, but he did not have sense enough to select the proper woman or to avoid making a selection until God directed him. He knows better now and where he is, he is practically safe from both of them. It may be to his own interest and for his own comfort that he stay just where he is until these wives die or until they find another husband to console them. Editor W. P. Dabney sends us his contribution to literature in the form of a handsomely bound book of 440 pages, entitled "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens, Historical Sociological and Biographical." It is fully illustrated and he has rendered a valuable service to the colored people of Cincinnati. This work should be in the library of every Ohioan. It is about the best presentation of local race progress that we have yet seen. The Dabney Publishing Co., 412 McAllister Street, Cincinnati, O. Some people do not believe in the Scriptures and some others do not believe in a Supreme Being. These people have a right to their beliefs and we respect and honor them for being frank enough to express it. There are some others, who are of the same opinion, but who fear public sentiment and do not say just what they think secretly. A Modernist, who remains in the Church of Christ, that is one of the radical type is not far removed from the hypocrite. He should go out and form a church of his own, gathering together persons, who have similar views and not seek to disrupt churches where the majority of the members believe in the "old time religion."

State of Virginia, County of Henrico Before me, a Notary Public in and for the State and county aforesaid personally appeared, John Mitchell, Jr. who having been duly sworn according to law deposes and says that he is the Editor of The Planet, and that the following is to the best of his knowledge and belief, a true statement of the ownership, management of the aforesaid publication for the date shown in the above caption required by the Act of August 24 1912, embodied in section 443. Postal Laws and Regu- ```markdown ``` monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ring words of Major General Boll, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful, Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, grapecally, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relat. to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the s. s. rors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parrotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.

This Week By Arthur Brisbane WHO KNOWS? THE PRINCESS' 50-50. A DEAR LITTLE DOG. ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR "FENCES" In old age, as their hold on life becomes feeble, men turn to another world and future life. Sir Oliver Lodge, a scientist and an old man, is criticized by fellow members of the Royal Society because of his belief in spiritualism. In a dignified reply Sir Oliver offers to resign from the society, if his presence there is not wanted. Instead of criticizing him, his fellow scientists should respect his belief that supplies consolation. Perhaps, when all the scientists of the Royal Society die, and meet Sir Oliver Lodge, somewhere else, they will know that his ideas were as near the truth as their own. The Princess Murat is selling fine dresses for a living. Her friends weep for her but need not weep. Her fate would be described by Mr. Abraham Lincoln Erlanger as "fifty-fifty." Having spent the first part of her life buying and wearing expensive dresses, she will spend the second part selling them to ladies that still have their money. The Princess will find more real interest in salesmanship than in merely wearing fine feathers. The fox that catches a peacock has a more interesting life than the peacock spreading its tail feathers in the sunshine. Statistics show that Harvard graduates when they marry have few children, many of them no children. The number of children Harvard marriages increases steadily and the number of homes where there are children diminishes steadily. This doesn't mean that educa- tion reduces fertility. It means that the prosperous class are provided with birth control information, forbidden to the poor. A charming lady—an American—comes from Europe carrying a sweet little four-pound black and tan dog—a refined, elegant little dog. It wore a silk hood on its head, a little flannel jacket buttoned tightly around its stomach and chest, a cloak of warm wool, a nice little handkerchief, used by the maid to wipe its nose and eyes. It had gloves, or shoes, of the finest kid for its four little feet. Once in a while it must run around on the ground and might hurt its toes. The kid prevents that. This well-cared-for dog costs, the lady says, about $4,000 a year for upkeep. Fathers bringing up a family on $2,500 a year or less are invited by earnest radicals to think and roar about this. There is no need of roaring. Some that are too rich must be foolish with their MONEY, as many that are too poor are extremely foolish with their TIME. The owner of the little dog would probably waste the money on herself, if she didn't spend it on the dog. What difference does it make, whether the money is wasted on the black and tan, or the lady? It is possible to be too convincing. Macario Timon, head of a "Satanic Mystic Order of Lucifer," said he possessed "the magic stone" with which he worked wonders. There were no wonders, of course, and no magic stone. But his foolish followers didn't know that. They tortured the aged impostor to death to make him tell where the magic stone was. Moral: Don't fool your fellow man concerning this world or the next. New York's "Whittemore Gang" planning robberies, with murder as part of the programme, if necessary, sold their loot in advance. Certain individuals, pretended jewelers and others, called "fences," had bargained in advance to buy the stollen jewel. Why not discourage such enterprise by indicting the "fences" for murder? They are as guilty as the bandits that kill, being "accessories before the act." If each bandit murderer had his "fence" as his partner in the electric chair performance, that would help. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. HEREDITY IN DISEASE. With the developments in scientific knowledge, have come better understanding; we know today that, there is very little in the old theory. We know that tuberculosis is acquired in every case that appears after infancy. I saw once an infant born with tubercular meningitis, the mother herself being far advanced with tuberculosis of the lungs. This I did not regard as an hereditary case, as applied to children in general. Tendencies are inherited, not diseases. We see a parallel in plant life. Some trees are harder than others; some varieties of wood withstand the onslaughts of decay much longer than others. Some flowering plants live, exposed to wintry blasts; others must be housed. There is quite as much variation in the resisting power of human beings to disease. Certain families of the human species have delicate nervous systems; others are peculiarly susceptible to skin irritations; and still others exceedingly sensitive to drug influences. These have inherited tendencies. The son of a father who had smokers' cancer should never smoke. The child of a mother who died of tuberculosis should use every precaution to keep away from the neighboring victim. Children of parents who suffered from any phase of insanity may have the strongest of tendencies to break-down of the nerves. Such children, as soon as they arrive at suitable age, should be enjoined by teachers and physicians, to avoid living as the afflicted ancestor lived. Tissue paper will last as long as sole leather if it is taken care of, but under no other condition. Watch the inherited tendencies, and avoid exciting cause of trouble. Next Week: "MEASLES." AUTOCASTER During the war, John S. Stevenson, of Vineland, N. J., was gassed, which caused his death. But before "passing on" he wrote seventeen letters to his son Dick, who is now age five. Every birthday, until he is twenty-one, "Dicky" will receive a letter from Daddy, to guide his steps in avoiding youths' pitfalls. The last letter will be sent him on his wedding day.

Upon his return to London he fails to recognize a RABY, to whom he became engaged and arrives from France. Nan has since returned to her home to care for her three motherless stepbrothers and to work with her husband has just returned to London on leave. Joan hints that Nan ought to grieve over Peter and encourage her to work with John ARNOTT, with whom Peter is staying at the home of the form-widowed sister, near the Marryabry. Nan is seafolous of Arnott's sister, which she grudged with the attention. HARLEY SEFTON, money lender, money lender, through Peter before he joined his business.

Arnott and his sister have stopped in for tea, they are discussing the love of the children left the auto to walk in with Nani stop-brothers) when Arnott announces their arrival. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY NAN turned her head to the window. The boys and Peter were coming up the garden—Claudie and Buster were hanging on to either arm, Jim was walking backwards, a little in front, and all three were talking at the top of their voices. "I must make some more tea," she said hurriedly. "If you will excuse me for a moment. . ." She went quickly away; she wanted to compose herself a little before meeting Peter. As soon as she gone Doris looked at her broth "Well?" he said rather awkwardly, meeting her eyes, "what do you think of her?" Mrs. Mears shrugged her shoulders. "I think she is quite—nice," she said reluctantly. "How long have you known her, John?" "Oh—years!" Arnott said hurriedly. "At least, if it isn't, it seems like years." "You've never told me about her before." He ran an agitated hand over his cropped head. "No; you see, I never thought you'd meet; and one gets to know so many people when one knows about the world like I do." He upon the cake plate. "Have more cake?" "No, thank you." She leaned back in her chair and looked at her small reflection in a long, old-fashioned glass opposite. "And how long has Miss Marbury known Peter?" she asked suddenly. Arnott was spared the embarrassment of a reply by the entry of Peter himself with the three boys. The boys stopped on the threshold in confusion when they e e e that Nan was not there. They e e e not allowed in the drawing room, as a rule. "But if you are very good, you may have tea here today." Nan said, appearing behind them. "But no jam, mind, and no sticky fingers on the cushions." She turned to Peter with a friendly little smile. She put down the fresh teapot she carried and shook hands with him. "I don't know how you are off for servants," she said to Mrs. Mears, "but we only have one small mald, so have to help her." "It is taking a most serious question—this cover of maids." Mrs. Mears answers, "Fortunately I have three excellent but, but I always dreading that they will give notice and go and make munitions or something." "You don't want three maids!" her brother struck in bluntly "It's abe sard." Doris colored in faint annoyance. "My dear boy!" she protested. Arnott laughed. "Well, if the war goes on much longer you" ill be doing your own Accused Judge A. B. Federal Judge George W English, of the eastern district of Illinois, was impeached recently by the House of Representatives THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN General John J. Pershing, photographed for the first time since leaving Walter Reed Hospital at Washington, is shown with his son, Warrens Warren was a wee lad when his father was in Europe settling the famous argument. work," he said. "How would you like that, Miss Maraby?" "There are a great many things I should hate more." Nan told him calmly. "I am rather fond of housework. When I was with Miss Lyster—" She pulled herself up sharply. She shot a frightened look at Peter, hoping he had not heard, but it was too late. He was looking across at her inquiringly, "Miss Lyster?" he echoed. "What Miss Lyster were you with, Miss Marraby?" Nan's hand jerked suddenly, knocking over her teacup; its contents trickled over the cloth and fell dripping on to the rather shabby carrot R. J. SCOTT C17 "Are You Engaged?" —the boys screamed with delight—Arnott produced a handkerchief and went down on his knees. Nan gave a little cry of protest. "Oh, please, don't-it won't hurt the carpet at all; I'll fetch a cloth." She fled from the room; the blood was singing in her ears; when she reached the kitchen she forgot what she had come for—she stood there staring helplessly before her till the little maid asked timidly what she wanted. Nan roused herself then with a start. "Nothing—at least—I've split some tea." "It's all soaked in," Jim said as Nan arrived. "Soaked in." Claudie echeed. Nan went down on her knees; she mopped the little pool up vigorously. "It won't show at all." she said breathlessly. "How clumsy of me! It's a good thing it wasn't one of you boys," she added, with pretended severity. She hoped desperately that Peter had forgotten his question; she suggested a walk in the garden. She unbolted the long French window and went on to on the grass with Doris Mears. "I hope you will come and see me, Miss Marrabry." Doris said. "I live very quietly—I lost my husband two years ago, you know." "Yes," said Nan. "Mr. Armott told me—I am so sorry." "It was dreadful at first," Mrs Mears said, with a sigh. "I thought I couldn't go on living at all—but well, I have, you see. I try to do what I can to help others . . ." She raised her dark eyes to Nan with disconcerting gaudiness. "Are you engaged?" she asked. Nan was looking straight ahead of her. "I was," she said, steadily. "But it is at an end now." "And was he in the war, too?" Mrs. Mears asked. "Yes," said Nan. "There was a little silence. "He was not—killed?" the elder girl asked, again. "No." Mrs. Mears touched the little military ribbon Nan still wore. "I thought, perhaps—as you are wearing this," she said, deprecatingly. "Most of us wear some ribbon or another, don't we?" said Nan. She tried to smile. "In London the other day I saw an old woman in a bus with three different badges on her coat—she was so proud of them—she told me that she had three sons serving in the army." Mrs. Mears laughed. "How quaint!" There was a touch of artificiality in her voice which Nan resented; she stopped and took a back at the others. Mrs. Mears stopped, too. "It's very sad about Mr. Lyster, don't you think?" she asked. "Very," said Nan. "I shall miss him dreadfully when he goes away," Mrs. Mears went on. "He has been so kind to me." She broke off as the two men and the boys came up. She moved away from Nan and went over to Peter. "You mustn't overtire yourself," she said playfully. "I really think we ought to be taking you home. What do you think, John?" Arnott had just returned from a race across the grass. He carried Claudie on his back and he was red in the face from his exertions. "Don't go," came in a chorus from the three. "Oh, don't go." "I'm in no hurry," Peter said quickly. He looked at Nan. "Mrs. Mears will persist in making an invalid of me," he said. There was a trace of annoyance in his voice. Nan remembered how he had always hated fuss. She moved on, and Peter walked beside her. "Who is the Miss Lyster you spoke of at tea-time?" he asked suddenly. Nan colored. "On, it's only somebody I used to know a long while ago," she said evasively. "It's not a very uncommon name, you know." He kept his eyes downhent moodly. "I thought perhaps it might have been someone I ought to have known," he said. "I suppose I have some relations somewhere or other." He looked at her suddenly. "Are you feeling happier today?" he asked, abruptly. Nan flushed scarlet. "I don't want to be reminded of last night," she said, vehemently. "I made an utter and complete fool of myself. Please, try and forget it." There was a little silence. "Do you often walk in the wood?" he asked. "Sometimes — I haven't much time." "And do you like Mrs. Mears?" Peter asked then. "Well, I can hardly say—I've never seen her before, you know. She's pretty, isn't she?" She longed for him to disagree with her. Peter glanced across to where Mrs. Meira was talking to her brother. "What I suppose one would call her pretty," she last. "She is small and dainty—" "And men always like small and dainty women," Nan said. She hated herself for having said it, but she could not help it. "Do they?" Lyster asked. Nan went with them to the gate. The car was drawn up at the roadside, and the chauffeur was half asleep in his seat. "She must have plenty of money," Nan thought with a pang. "And you'll come over and see us?" Mrs. Mears was asking her. "I should love you to see my boy. John must drive over one day and fetch you. Will you, John?" John would be delighted, he said. Which day should he come? Any day would suit him. "I think we had better leave it for a little while." Nan answered. "I am so busy; there is such a lot to do." "If you leave it too long I shall be back in France," he told her ruefully. Nan glanced at Peter; he was not attending.
