one day that no Inconsiderable part cf
official popularity lay In entertaining dur

him to go In more lavishly for social hon
ors and attentions.
"Why." raid Quay, "a senator of your
age cugbt to be married. Indeed, Penrose,
I'd advise you, for the sake of the organi

re-election through influential demand by
the bigwigs will be Increased a thousand
fold If you take a charming wife down
there with you next term. With your
money, you cught to be able to do it well."
Penrose pondered deeply a minute or two
and then asked:
"Do you really think a thing like that
counts?"
"Sure!" answered the Old Man.
