fashion

The Palace-on-Wheels, Friday.
My dearie Joan:
L might know he would make no
idle threats. Ever Since hat night
at dinner when 1 tainted him on his
commercial-mindedness his steel
a~nd-granite John Heron has CON
c~entrated," as the mental scientists
say, on me. n
Conceit on my part, you'll say. No.
1t Is his conceit. Some men show
vanity by strutting and wearing fine
raiment. Others by displaying physi-
cal prowess. Still others try to exert
personal charm by making love.
Herron's way is none of these. He
is immaculate and clad in the height
of fashion. But you somehow get the
impression that he was born in good
clothes and that a perfect appear
ance Is to him O matter of course
just as the expensive appointments
of his office are. He makes NO "eyes"
at me. No fine speeches. He treats
me politely, but very much as though
1 were the dictaphone.
His way of impressing me Is to
parade the power of his mind-his
influence, his ability to bring about
miracles and make fairy-tales come
true.
1 thought at first he knew only
railroads and hotels. / find he has
studied architecture and accounting,
landscape gardening, and the manu-
facture of steel, nance and-frivol-
ity. Everything indeed that has any
bearing upon his job.
He manages to show all this off
in his dictation to me. He evidently
knows that a mans mind when it Is
great and powerful, frightens and at
the same time thrills a woman like
a giants muscles, or the huge waves
of the ocean,, or a thunderstorm!
Also there is a constant procession
of men who come to him whenever
we stop. Delegations, chambers of
ommerce, committees, individuals,
all come to his desk, pleading, argu-
ing, fawning or trying to buster.
They know that by a wave of his
wand some splendid hotel will spring
up, a community, a whole town even.

gone away years before. He was a
young lover still. Neither had heart
less parents sent him abroad to finish
a medical education, killing romance
country romance they had called 1t,
with one blow. And after twenty-five
years the memory Of that broken ro-
nance still had power to bring a mist
to Rosalia's blue eyes.
He had married-her WI lover OF
long ago-a gay creature abroad, who
had not lived long enough to return
with her husband to his home. And
when he had returned, taking up in
later years his fathers practice OF
medicine, Rosalia kept r~esolutely and
proudly out Of his way.
As an auto rounded the curve, she
jumped apprehensively to her feet and
hurried into the house. 1t was the
same step she remembered, which now
crossed the porch, as the doctor car
ried the aviator upon his own broad
back. The same confident laugh
which echoed back from her sitting
room.
Presently the doctor sought her out.
"We shall need you" he said, but
his eyes were upon her. as he talked
with his patient.
And later when Rosalia and her low
err of long ago stood together beside
the airplane in the garden, the doctor
bent to pick up a piece Of paper.
Dearest" he read, "today only, do
I dare to tell you that which has long
been in my heart, I love you. Always,
I think, 1 have loved you"
He turned, as he was leaving, to put
the paper into Rosalia's hand.
81 will come again this evening"" he
said.
And as she would have continued
the young lovers letter, she saw be-
meath her own handwriting a hastily
added line:
"This is my message to you, Rosalia'
the message I, myself, would have
written"
And when the moon shone through
the old house windows at evening. she
found herself again listening for q
step.

Iron rust, such as comes from the

to remove 1t. Such an acid may be
supplied by vinegar, leftover lemon

like oxalic. We try not to use these
stronger acids because Of their ex-

He is the "god in the machine" to
them all. A word settles their affairs
one way or the other, and while he
rarely even glances It me during
these sessions, 1 get the impression
of his constant stream of comment.
See what a magician 1 ami" he
seems to say, "I make or break men
as 1 choose. I juggle destinies. /
build cities! lam the su~per-captain
of industry Do not all others seem
small and weak in comparison 2"
Sometimes 1 thrill with admiration.
Other times 1 hate him for what he
car do to people and places.
He could take a town like dear old
Bentsville, for example,, put up a
palatial hotel in place Of the Higgins
House, map out a business block that
would make the Bee Hive Arcade
sick, plan a lakefront pleasure
resort hat would throw Moonlight
Park into bankruptcy, without giving
the Woodworking folks who have
built up their businesses by years OF
hard work a chance to say aye, yes
or no. 1t might benefit the town in
the end, but there would be some
thing so hard and ruthless about 1t.
1t would take all the personality GU
of Bentsville.
And all this time, at his command
we swing nOrtn, east, SOUTH, WEST
anywhere, in this smooth-riding pal
ace on wheels. 1 am getting dizzy
with the show. AS for John Herror
himself, he commands admiration as
he commands everything else.
I find myself comparing his bulky
figure with the slender-waisted he.
roes Of the movies-and feel that J
never want to see the screen again
At other times 1 still long to break
his power, to upset his self assur-
ance.
He had said nothing to me AS ME
He rarely makes q personal remark
of any sort. Yet all the time 1 know
he is showing off. He is dazzling me
He goes out of his way to do 1t. Why
does he-to an obscure person like
me, a mere bit of his office furniture

First Authentic Pictures
Of Fiume on The Screen

The people Of the United States are
about to see flashed on the screen the
first authentic pictures OF the city of
Fiume under Italian occupa ton. In
formation to this effect was conveyed
in a cable received at the Offices of
the Famous Play ers, in this city, from
James W. Morse, VINO succeeded in
gaining admittance to the city with his
camera.
Morse left New York with the VAN
denbergh- Param cunt expedition which
the Famous Players, in conjunction
with the American Museum of Natural
History, sent to British East Africa
and Uganda for chronological and an
thropologica research. The party.
headed by Dr.. Leonard J. Nandenbergh
and DR.. George Burbank Shattuck,
went directly to Naples. Thence they
sailed for Mombasa, British East
Africa, arriving there last Thursday.
Morse's side trip to Fiume was not
contemplated, but when the opportu-
nifty presented itself it was mm ediately
seized upon. AS soon as he completes
the arrangement for shipping his finn
to New York from Naples he will pro-
ceed to Mombasa to rejoin members
OF the party.
