Presently she was released, she didn't just know why, she said The real reason was because the case was to go before the Supreme Court, but Her lawyer, Charles Goerlich, told her something about it, and she said "Yal" impatiently, in haste to get back to her little store.

When her subpoena to ,ap- pear in the Supreme Court was served Pauline put that neatly away, too, and was glad to have seen the last of it. So she was sent to the Ludlow Street Jail on June 26.

 Working hard as a housemaid in New York, she lost her plumpness and her pink cheeks, and even her, blue eyes faded httle but the dream re- mained. She was making it come true herself, by saving money, not as cor porations save it, but by quarters and Edimes and nickels, and a vast ma1orr- ity of smooth worn, pennies. She kept them bright by counting them over SD often. They all went into a child's bank, one of those voraAous banks not before.

 There was the ring of absolute con- viction in Miss Pauline Griegs tone. as she spoke out her hard-learned philosophy yesterday in the Ludlow street jail. where she is spending three months because of it's truth.
 She went on to prove her contention with vehement details. She owed a debt because she hadn't read a con- tract all the way through, and that was why she had been put in jail in the first place. Then. because she didn't know a subpoena when she saw ono, she had been fined s2O0 for con- tempt of court, and failing to pay it, had been sentenced to jail again. Could any one give more proof that women adn't no heads for business?'' ''NoS said Pauline, sliding back into hor own tongue.
