Mie was to be married next day at 11 o'clock in the morn ing; it was just 7 now, the beginning of her last evening of single life. And it promised to be the counter part of all the evenings of her life as tar back as she -could remember a nice quiet evenintr reading or sew ing, or a lukewarm pleasant time with some friends. There was not one evening in her whole life that stood out vitally, that sent little thrills down her spine or made her pulse beat the least bit faster when she thought of it. She stretched out her young, well formed arms in a little gesture of longing and impatience, not for the morrow to come, but for the tire some evening to eirflo It flashed through her mind yfnat she had been denied the exciting moment when a man proposes, for Leslie, living at a distance, had done his courting and proposing by mail. . It had come about so very gradually that when a letter arrived asking her to be his wife there had not been the least gasp, of surprise. She had met him last summer or her vacation in the mountains, where he had been staying with his invalid mother. There had not been the faintest suggestion of courtship then, not as much as a walk without his mother. , And Leslie did not dance, Carlotta could not remember that he had ever touched her hand ex cept to shake hands when they said goodby. , His mother had opened the corre-spondence--and when rheumatism prevented her writing her son had taken it over for her. Not till after his mother's death did -his letters be come gradually more intimate, and even after they were formally en gaged there were no thrilling love phrases. yYet Carlotta knew from the sincere words he wrote that he loved her truly and would make- a devoted and faithful husband. She remembered how kind and consid erate he had been of his mother, she knew she could always depend upon him and above all, there was no doubt in her heart that, she loved him. . Her life, as she .reviewed it now, had been a drab-colored affair, not unhappy, rather' pleasant but cull. A auiet. even childhood and girl hood, then the passing of her par ents, her coming to the city, pbtain ing a position as secretary to a phil anthropist, a pleasant, unexciting occupation. She made friends easily, she never was lonely, had plenty of invitations from nice people. It had all been So pale-colored, so even, just bordering on monotony. "Car lotta is so refined, always calm and collected," , she had overheard a friend say. It was true, she con fessed to herself, it was what at tracted Leslie to her. Sse realized that her married life would be a replica of her placid single existence. Leslie had pictured the sleepy little village, his old dig nified home, the regular routine of his work and pleasures to her in his well written letters. - ,.. Carlotta rose, went to the window and -looked down in the 'street be low," studied the faces of passers-by. She searched eagerly for the features that expressed emotion, showed ex citement. The calm, refined, digni fied types did not interest her. "Here I have lived five years in this great metropolis and its life has never touched me! I could .have lived in a drowsy little village for all the thrills I get! "Just for the fun of it I'd like to see how I look with hair in buns over the ears and A half hour later Carlotta viewed herself again, "Carlotta Pellem, Oh, you wicked girl! You do look five years: younger, but oh. so tempt ing." Tt was the truth, she looked like another person, a very roguish, attractive girl, she then donned her best hat and tilted it coqnettishly fever one ear. She admired the re sult in the mirror very much and laughed and flirted with her pretty reflection. Then, suddenly, "What if I went out like this I fonder if I wdTSld have'some excitement?" Then she remembered that it was her very last chance for some thrills, Tomorrow was her wedding day. With a reckless little laugh she found her gloves and decided to try it and see what would happen. A little latershe was on the city's fashionable promenade, the natural glow of excitement on her cheeks quite out-doing the rouge she had dabbed on. She stepped buoyantly along in the ever-flowing stream of people, no definite destination in mind, consciousef men giving her tentative glances. She was slightly frightened by their advances, not quite sure if she could control a situation that her answering smile might bring. ' Near a large hotel she noticed a broad shouldered man, strangely familiar, he turned--she would. have passed across the avenue to be en veloped by a protecting crowd but he recognized her at once and came forward with wide-opety amazed eyes, embarrassed. Carlotta would have willingly had the street open and engulf her than meet Leslie in her adventurous mas querade. She could see the mortifi cation in his eyes. "Oh Leslie," she managed to choke out between dry lips, "I thought you were not coming in till morning?" ' He made some kind of an inco herent reply and fell in step with her. In silence they walked along; she felt, the stern disapproval, his disap pointment Almost frantically she tried to pull her hat to a straight, sober line, but in vain,' it was pinned fast She longed to rub the red from hher lips and cheeks with her hand- i t. . . a ' - t jcercnier, dui iearea 10 moruiy ner nance stillimore. . she glanced side ways at him, he looked away he was ashamed of her! The blood rushed to her face, her heart pounded, she caught the re flection of her face in a shop mirror. She was excited, wildly excited, her eyes shone like stars 1 Thrilled, ex cited, that did not express how she felt She saw her wedding day fade away, the lovsly home in the village LEGAL NOTICES.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Washington, Oct' 14. Forty-five per cent of the increase in popula tion through alien immigration in 1920 was made up of English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh. These groups did not come all from the British Isles. for the figures include those coming from Canada, which was an impor tant contributor, but they serve to indicate the changes now progress ing in the sources of our immigra tion. Uo to 20 years or so ago the peoples of western and northern turooe predominated in tne noes that washed up to Ellis Island. Then southern and eastern Europe became the great source of the mixture for the melting pot. During the fiscal year ended last June 30, western Europe swung back to a place it had not held for a generation or more as the source whence originated the bulk of our alien increase Todav was issued what the bureau of immigration designates a "table by races," showing the increase or decrease in population by arrival and departure of aliens for 1920, not by countries but by stock's The statis tics run up to July 1 and they in clude both immigrant and non-immigrant classes, the latier defined as those who do not migrate for permanent residences. They show the following: Races making net gains- African ..t 10,206 Armenian 2,285 Bohemian Z3Z Dutch and Flemish 9,798 F.ngllsh 48,279 Frtnch , ,...23.748 German ..........a) 3,68f Hebrew .....16,H'I Irish 16,641 Italian, north .; 6,592 Italicn, south 24,0S Japanese 621 Mexican 67,234 Portugese 10.1H3 Russian , 1,619 Scandinavian ..... .4-72 Scotch v .9 21.370 Spanish .' .'. 30,731 Spanish-American 3.4S7 Syrian I.;?
