state in the erection of the proposed building for Bessemer as a memorial to the men who went to the war from the district. The building committee in charge of the Y. NJ. c. A. memorial, with w. W. Hollingsworth as chairman have decided upon Tuesday evening, August 12, as the date for the mass meeting to be called for laying before the public the plans and cost of building
 At recent meeting held by the build ing committee many plans and specified tions were presented for their consider ation, but the building that best suited the needs of Bessemer was a regulation Y. M. c. A. building with frontage
 of 75 feet, with two wings extending back three stories high and having the swim
 ming pool between the wings on the ground floor lighted by a skylight The
 cost of the erection of the building was estimated at s10oOo0. The plans called for dormitory consisting of 50 rooms.

 Dick Holladay led Jane through the happy theatre throng, past the towering Times building, along the lighted thor oughfare glowing from the incandescence of hundred glittering advertising signs which were masterpieces of artistry in their co1ors and magical movement.
 What a wonderful place." Jane com mented softly. "I have read of it so often and yet there is nothing like the reality My first night in New York I ventured to walk along Broadway, but the multi tude frightened me and I retreated; it is so different with wise old guide to explain the historic spots and relics!
 Well, Miss Brown answered Holla- day. History doesn't stay put around here. Fifteen years ago the bright chan nel of Broadway was dozen blocks downtown; 15 years from today where will it be? Perhaps all traffic will be in flying machines and for variety's sake they may have the electric signs flat on the ground so that he who flies may read. As for the relics-the majority of them are probably wearing abbreviated skirts in the musical comedy choruses And. by the way, how would you like to go to a show"
 Jane did want to go. It was her first invitation to New York theatre and what girl in the length and breadth of America had not read and longed for the privilege of seeing the famous stars of the stage in the metropolis itself, of en- toying some famous production staged as it could only be staged in the original playhouse.
 I'm afraid it is impossible tonight" and there was an istakable hesitancy in Jane's voice.
 Holladay was quick to perceive the Nf tn fNr1n 1tr
 Lets gor' he said. '"There's an open ing night just a block away, new mus ical comedy, and you'll not only have the fun of seeing the actors and dancers frightened to death and doing their best but to hear the author and composer make sacred, stupid speeches, and see the critics all rush out at the end of the first act to roast the rest of the show. without waiting to see what it is like That is what a first night is hke-only more so. Shall we take one in?'
 'tOh, how I would enjoy itr' Jane gasped with delight. Then her conscience interferred, as it had done so many times in the past. She remembered the early morning hours of rising, and knew that it would be necessary to report fresh and vigorous at the office. After such a day Jane knew that nature would de mand a reaction, and even now she real ized that only excitement was sustain ing her.
 But I can't see why you don't. then" urged Holladay, starting around cor ner with her.
 "It is impossible" was the firm bu- regretfutresponse. T owe my time to my work, you know; I said that this morn- ing, And I am exhausted tonight"
 Holladay was master of tact. He gave her his kindly smile, as he nodded
 You are quite right. Then we'll do something which will put you in a mood for pleasant dreams. It is the fairyland which I meant to show you when I first met you. Come along; we will go up on the Astor roof and sip some cool drink, while the orchestra plays There's no exertion in that, and you can be back in an hour.
