XVI.-The First Drop of Poison.

Jacks role for the rest of the evening
OF the dance was to stand still and hold
my fan. Occasionally / flashed him
rapturous smile-a smile that must have
been cold comfort to him. For it did not
mean any particular interest in or ap-
prevail Of his actions: only general
state of personal bliss induced by more
partners than ! could use.
Ny dream had come true. I was prac-
tically the belle of the ball. After Jack
had introduced the first stranger from
the city to me they came in droves-
young men. old men, thin men, fat men
all asking to dance with me. My breath
came very fast and my gray eyes turned
black.
At the end Of the eighth dance I re-
membered had promised to go to the
ladies' dressing room and talk 20 the girl
who had spoken to me and loaned me her
powder. l was having a very good time
with my admirers grouped about me, but
somehow felt that the girl. with her too
red lips and her too low gown, could tell
me how to make all these good times
last. I knew parties like this one were
not rare for her.

She was waiting for me before the mir
ror, putting more powder on her neck
and arms. making her lips still redder.
As for me, 1 was ablaze. 1 had small
need of rouge on either lips or cheeks.
If anything can make a pretty girl
prettier 1t is to know she is admired.
Perhaps plain girls only remain plain
because they are never given a chanc: to
try that particular brand Of beautifier.

UNDERWOOD GAINING.

Washington, March 1S.-Oscar W.
Underwood, House Democratic leader.
seems to be gaining strength in his
fight against the repeal Of the Panama
Canal free tolls act for coastwise
ships. In the polls taken week ago
the repeating bill had majority be-
hind the President of more than 100.
The poll today showed wavering
majority in the House OF less than 60.
Mr.. Underwood has not numbered
his artillery. Following the speech
he is to make in the House opposing
the President on the subject of free
tolls for American ships through the
Panama Canal. the House expects a
special message from the President.
Representative Robert S. Broussard,
of Louisiana, has been given the right
to close the debate in favor Of free
tolls He is the drafter of the free
tolls law.
1t is the belief today by many men,
bers of Congress who to!iow the
President that the repeating bill is
to be withdrawn by the administra-
ton. If it is pressed it will come
solely as measure supplemental to
treaty provisions with England and
not as q part Of governmental policy.

the House members are with him in
opposition to the President. Mr..
Kitchin is to be the next Democrat
