informs Hall that his Uncle Johns Will
has left him 100000 condition that
he marry before his twenty-eighth biEth-
day, which begins at midnight that night.
Mrs. Rena Royalton calls at the studio.
Hall asks her to marry him. She agrees
20 give him an answer at the party that
night. Miss Carolyn Dallys calls Hall
proposes to her. She agrees to give him
an answer at the party. Rosamund Gale,
art model, calls. Hall tries TO rush her
into an immediate marriage. She, too,
defers her answer until the evening. Flo
die tries to show Hall certain way out
of the mixup, but he is obtuse. Jonas
Hassingbury, heir to the millions in case
Hall fails to marry time, plots with
Flodie to block Halls marriage to any of
the three women before midnight. Flodie
arranges to have the three meet at the
studio as If by chance At that meeting
much feminine fencing ensues, in which
Flodie uses her own foil adroitiy. Hall
comes in. Alfred. the janitor. brings in q

Hall dissolves and they retire to plan war
for the s4,000,000 prize. Successive tele-
phone messages from the three ladies in

three. Desperate, he asks E1odie to save
him from the three-hornsd dilemma by
marrying him.

structing his decorative scheme, pat
ting and pulling it into something
more careless, and more agreeable to
her own sense of beauty.
For the occasion Mr.. Smallish had
also decorated himself. In his hired
evening suit he looked, If possible, a
bit more pathetic than usual.
Flodie had arrayed herself for the
evening with simplicity and artful
grace. She wore white MULE, which.

She had caught that charm Of care

told her that she had succeeded. She
answered his explanatory compli-
ments with a shrug.

his finger st her, Gust as soon as |

I'm coming after you! Remember
that! I've got to get rid of them some

And then, F1odie Fisher, it'll be your
turn! Mark my words! 1 intend to
marry you up before midnight"
you WON'T" she exclaimed and
slammed the door in his face. When
she came out, few minutes later, she
found him in the studio, frowning.

asked. Its been losing time lately

"Shall l ring up Central and ask"
'tWill you, please? Thanks!" Hall
walked to the tall grandfather's clock
in the corner and opened the door
while Flodie went into the office.
After moment, she called out
"Ten twenty-five. Mr. Bonistelle!"
Lord, it is awfully slow, isn't it!
All right" Hall put the minute hand

Germany shows signs of strength

will surely collapse after the war
against overwhelming odds, but there
are no signs of exhaustion Our econ

Men may be frightened into conformity
