THE BABY VAMP.

This is a nice time to be show

marked Gwen Parker with mock
severity when Alison, brilliant of
cheek and eye and breathless with
haste, Joined the party.
II was detained unavoidably,
murmured the culprit, acknowledg-
ing the introduction to Owens
house guest and greeting the other
girls with an airy wave of her
hand.
She sank into the chair which
the maid drew out for her. and be-
gan to remove her gloves, her color
heightening under her hostess
scrutiny. Though she felt confident
that Gwen did not guess the reason
for her hardness, she felt guilty
about that truant ride with Warren
Bradley. She had gone with him
on the impulse of the moment. but
looking back, it did seem bit
thick to keep a luncheon party
waiting while one took a clandes-
tine drive with the man with whom
ones hostess was in love.
I'VE didn't wait, as you see" said
Gwen, but were only as far along
as the bouillon. And we had the
heart to save your fruit cocktail

How delightful" Alison turned
to the latest bride. "How's mar

unconscious patronage OF a young
matron of six months experience.
Rather interesting-as yet" re.
piled the new Mrs. Grant, languid
ly.
Gwen chuckled.
Listen to the blase brides" she
remarked to her house guest.
The girl addressed raised her
dark eyes and looked from one
smart matron to the other. Her per-
fectly-penciled brows went up a
shade. but she made no reply.
Alison glanced at the girl curl
ously. Beyond her murmured ac-
acknowledgement &f the introduction,
she had not spoken.
There was something laneuorous
and feline in her posture. The dark
eyes she raised were sleepy. yet
they gave the impression of an act

Alison looked across the room to
where the girl in question leaned

medicine, which is an herbal, Temperance" pre-
scnption with all the ingredients printed on the

early days he also used tonic and Alternative for
the blood, which was so universally beneficial
that he determined to place this medicine in the
drug stores of the United States and Canada
where it could be readily procured This he

he had prescribed many years for the stomach

instant success, and during the past half century
have sold in greater quantities than any other

medicines contains alcohol and both are herbal

House Report Favorable to
Anti-Dumping BiI|-EarIy
Enactment Sought.

Favorable report on the bill de-
signed TO prevent the dumping of
British airplanes and accessories in
this country for sale at low prices
which would drive American compe-
titlon out of business was ordered
Today by the ways and means COM
mlttee. Representative John O. Til
son of Connecticut, who is in charge
OF the measure. expects to file his re-
port late today. He also has been
deavor to secure the passage of this
bill before adjournment Saturday
Under the anti-dumping bill, which
would continue in effect until March
4. 1921. the British planes must not
be sold at a lower price in this coun-
try than in England. Mr.. TilSon said
that the bill would practically shut
of the sale of any of the British
planes in this country.
Conflicting Testimony Given.
Conflicting testimony regarding the ef-
1ect on the American aircraft industry
of the sale at low prices of th. British
war surplus of airplaneS was given at
the House ways and means committee
hearing yesterday.
Officers of the Army air service and
American manufacturers of planes said
the sale would jeopardiZe national de-
fense and practically destroy the Ameri-
can industry. Officers of the Aerial
Transport Company of Cleveland con-
tended. however. that aviation would be
stimulated. as did Henry Woodhouse
representing the Aero Club of America.
IF the British stuff comes in. said
Col W. L. Gilmore. chief of the Army
aircraft procurement service. 'it will
be only a starter. Every bit of it is
obsolete and it will mean British control
of our aviation"
Maj. Gen. Charles T. Menoher. chief
of the Army air service. said the in
fux of the British planes would be
harmful to the American industry.
W. l.. Brackett and Alfred W. Harris
OF the Cleveland company said they
had contracted for the purchase of Brit
ish equipment because they were unable
to get it in this country.
