Washington.-The conviction in

the administration is not at all de-
sirous of having Senator La Toilette
expeller from the senate and that
since the administration wishes so
frequently govern the senate that
body will never take any action
against the Wisconsin senator for his

La Toilette and his following have
made numerous good citizens mad

the conduct of the war. Moreover,
there is no desire here to permit
La Toilette to pose as a martyr.

DOG FANCIERS FACING RUIN
Dealers in England See Disaster in
High Taxes Placed on Animals
to Conserve Food Supply.

Dog fanciers in England, especially
the women, say that the new dog
taxes are going to kill the business
they have been carefully building up
lor years. They do not object to the
suggested increase on old licenses, but
they fear the big tax on new dogs is
going to brighten away all their GUS
toners.
There are many British women with
small incomes living in the country
who have invested most of their money
in dogs as business. They were
willing to mark time till the end of
the war, looking forward to Il revival
in their business afterward. Trade is
of course slack just now, but with no
money coming in at all they will be
unable to retain their kennels.
+ One fancier spoke bitterly of the
sensational stories told in certain-quar-
tiers about pampered dogs and the i'm
possible amount of food they were ac-
cused of eating.

Of person, mind or manner. But it
was nevertheless true tbst Rose was
renting this room largely on the
strength of the landlady. She was so
much more humanity possible than any
of the others at whose placarded doors
Rose had knocked or rung -!

temptation of the moment of parting
which they brought so relentlessly
nearer. There had been terror, too,
lest when the moment actually came,
she couldn't do 1t. Well. and now it
had come and gonel The surgery of
the thing was over.
Rose busted the mirror with towel
IA reckless act, as she saw for her
self, when she discovered she was go
ing to have to use that towel for a
week--and took an appraising look at
herself. Then she nodded confidently
there was nothing the matter with her
looks-and resumed her ulster, her
rubbers, and her umbrella, for it was
the kind of December day which called
for all three. Then, glowingly con-
scious that she was saving nickel by
so doing, she set off downtown afoot
TO get job. She meant to get it
that very afternoon. And, partly be-
cause she meant to so very definitely,
she did.
On the last Sunday before Rose went
away she had studied the dramatic
section of the morning paper with
a good deal of care, and was rewarded
by finding among the news notes
an item referring to new musical
comedy which was to be produced
at the Globe theater Immediately
after the Christmas holidays. "The
Girl Upstairs" was the title Of it. II

Jimmy Wallace's experience with the
production OF an earlier number In the
series would at least give her some
thing to 60 by.
Granted that she was going to be a
chorus girl for while, she could hard
ly ind better place than one Of the
Globe productions to be chorus girl
in. According to Jimmy. 1t was a de-
cent enough little place, and yet 1t
possessed the advantage Of being,
spiritually. as well as actually, west OF
Clark street. Rodney's friends were
less likely to go there, and so have a
chance OF recognizing her, than to any
other theater In the city.
The news item In the paper told her
that the production was In rehearsal,
and II mentioned the name Of the dlrec-
tor, John Galbraith. referring to him
as one of the three most prominent
musical-comedy directors In the coun-
try.
When she asked at the box Office at
the Globe theater where they were re-
hearsing "The Girl Upstairs today,

side answered automatically, "North
End hail."

little, "I'll have to ask where North
