There was little choice between the east side and the west side as to residential qualiflca- j tlons, although the latter included the business section of the town. By a strange coincidence the social leader in the east town was Mrs. Edward Browne, and the dominating lady of the west was Mrs. Edward Brown. "With the *e,' please remember," the east side empress of style and fashion would remark when Introduced for the first time. "We run back to the Browne-Burdetts of Gloucestershire, I believe.

II o ??I "Without the *e.' so as to avoid confusion," fearlessly remarked the queen of the west side domain. "We are of the branch of the parliamentary Brown family of Wotton, I understand." So the social leader with the "e" i and her rival without It assumed great airs and strove to eclipse each other in the eyes of their respective adherents. Exclusiveness became the essence of the combat between the two cliques. Thus, Mrs. Browne patronized the church element and Mrs. Brown , the business set. It was a continuous rivalry between the vaunted high aesthetic attitude of those borrowing a certain supremacy as to art and literature and their competitors who counted bankers and other real men of wealth and position in their ranks. Never did the east side, engineered by Mrs. Browne, announce some high social function that It was not followed by one arranged by Mrs. Brown. New, by another strange coincidence, Miss Edna Browne had become acquainted with young Mr. Walton Brown. The restrictions which shut them out from meeting socially In any general way made no difference to them. They langhed mutually at the conventional restrictions which. In a measure, separated them as though they were feudists and enemies. A caller upon Mrs. Brown one day set a ball rolling that was not destined to relapse into Inertia until it had considerably depressed the high social notions of both the Brown and the Browne element The visitor brought some news to Mrs. Brown that stirred her up greatly. "Confidentially." Imparted this gossip, "I learn that Mrs. Browne has employed an expert to trace the genealogical record of the family." "Is that true?" at once bridled Mrs. Brown. "Thank you for the Information; we shall do the same. I fancy we are entitled to a crest or a coat of arms fully as much as the Browne family." "Mrs. Browne dilates extravagantly on a certain Erastus Brown who first added the 'e' to hi.R name three centuries ago." "Bless me!" derided Mrs. Brown, "our family goes back three centurlea beyond that." { So the rival social leader* ccntrlb-: uted each to the Income of a dismal looking genealogical student who pro-. fessed great proficiency in tracing back family history. Meantime Edna and Walton lived the life of hopefnl contentment and love, became engaged, and all Lyndon wondered if the an- ! tldpated marriage would tnlte the | rival factions or at lea/1 mitigate their mckbounjl exclusiveness. One day Mrs. Browne received dla- j mal news. The owl-faced antiquarian she had employed called upon her with a scroll containing a family tree In skeleton outline and sheet after sheet of records.

Neither made public ner failure to link up with heraldic eonsplcuousness. Each feared that the other had learned of the dismal outcome of the quest after Illustrious ancestry. Then each hailed with relief a general town function In which both were forced to take a part out of sheer patriotic Impulse. The war boys came home and all celebrated.
