“It’s all wrong, anyway. Whatever

days.

all over now, autumn was gone
bare, and the earth under them
was packed with sodden masses
that had been a glory of red and
gold a few weeks before. In the
still, thin air, smoke from wood
and leaf fires rose like incense over
Wheatley Hills, the mornings were
darker, and now for several days
tlje air had been cold, and the sky
hung low and dark. Wakening on
this particular morning, Ellen,
whose constant vigils were begin
nlng to tell upon her health, said
to herself wearily that It would be
Thanksgiving In two weeks, and
wondered where the day would find
her. Aunt Elsie had suggested
that she and Tommy come to Port
Washington for the noonday din
ner, going back to Wheatley Hills
for the more formal event of the
evening. Gibbs, when she men
tioned It this morning, approved
the idea, saying that he

and he knew that she would really
urefer the home day to the long,
five-hour strain of "Pgrslfal," to

lian meant to go, at the Metropoli
tan. Ellen’s face darkened visibly.
But if you prefer the opera,
why, come with us!” Gibbs has
tened politely.
His wife did not answer. She
did not believe his father, who was
not very well, would go to the
opera. He had expressed a posi
tive dislike for German opera. But
Gibbs would buy a third seat, and
on Thanksgiving morning
would be the usual hideous pre
tense of his and Lillian's regret,
their offer to give the whole thing
up, their departure together In
car—
But there was nothing to say.
She was dressed now. and Tommy
had come leaping into the room,
spilling a box of tacks as he came,
and shouting gayly that Lizzie said
it—felt—like—snow!
“If you’re going to that dinner
tonight, Gibbs, do you want me to
pack anything?”
“Oh, no, thanks! I’ve every
thing at the studio. I think I’ll
come back iate. I’ll go In the road

town loafing about waiting for me,
even If dad and Lillian don’t want
the big car!”
“Lillian’s going to that dinner at
the Plaza—Mrs. Wallace,
father begged off, but she says she
has to go,” Ellen reminded him.
“Oh, so she Is I And she stays
overnight, doesn’t she? Well, If
dad doesn’t need the car, I may
keep Torrens ip, then, and drive
out after the dinner. I could just
as well stay at the studio; I

Come on, Tom, we’re all ready!”
Ellen followed them downstairs,
her heart dark with suspicions well
in keeping with the
sky and the cold, dull nlr. When
the plans for the day were dis
cussed at the breakfast table, she
listened, her tragic gaze moving
from her husband’s face to Lil
lian’s serene face.
“I wish I could go into town
when you do, Gibbs,” Lillian said
Indifferently, giving Tommy the

In advancing these suggestions
after he had detailed what the

League, the statement that boot

At the same time, Mr. Wheeler
said, Assistant District Attorney
Hart had denied to him that he
had estimated there were 5,000
illicit liquor sellers vending their

adding that many had been repeat

30 PER CENT LIQUOR
Moscow. Dec. 5.—Soviet Russia
today joined the ‘"wet” countries
of Europe, when the council of
people's commissars issued a de

government’s revenues, and stop
the illicit sale of alcohol which has
been widespread.
