CHATTER LXLvIII.


Folks, you're all invited to dine wher-
ever Envy designates. I've just cleaned
up almost $500 on her bunch about that
Yankee Kid Greyson," cried Jim in a
voice Of triumph.
He had rallied from the momentary
collapse caused by his shock Of happi-
ness at the victory Of the boy on whom
he had staked all his money for the
week to come. And this was his reply to
Evvy's little murmur: you can just
take me to dinnerW
was this big party what Envy had in
tended? I looked at her face-her lips
smiled. her wide blue eyes told nothing.
Jim was all animation now. As every
thing about him had twitched when he
was waiting for the verdict Of success
or loss, so now he seemed to fairly dance
IN every pulse and fiber.
Betty and Terry didn't appear to share
in the general rejoicing, but rather to
draw close in a common cause. Virginia
also was quiet and subdued. l wondered
II she felt any Of the terror that seemed
to be actually tearing at my dry throat.
But she gave me no glance Of understand
ing, and Betty and Terry avoided my
eyes.
I realized they all had some knowledge
they wished TO hide from me. 1t was
almost too late for that now. But what
ever their attitude toward the means by
which he had made his little store Of
wealth no one had the heart to deny
inns right to be host to our party In
his 10y there was a generous quality
and a rising from the humiliation Of
being a guest too often.
Where do we go. Evvyf" asked Jim.

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
BY MARY MARSHALL S. DUFFEE
MOVIE MANNERS.

1t isn't always good plan to look to
your favorite film star for an example Of
good manners, for 1t may be that the
fact that she is acting for motion pic
lures has had something to do in deter
mining her manners.
Did you ever notice that even retiring
young girls in the moving pictures have
way of laying their hands upon the
arms OF the men with whom they are
conversing. sometimes stroking the lapels
of their coats and otherwise k&adling
them as they surely would not de in real
life? Because this sort OF thlng Is not
regarded as good form, soma men very
much dislike to have the girls they know
affect this familiar manner. Remember,
that in the motion pictures, when we
must depend on gesture for what we
cannot indicate by spoken words, such
show of feeling is often necessary.
So the young girl in the motion pic
cures meets man at q tea and lays two
hands familiarity on his arms and stands
close to him, talking up into his face.
In real life she would doubtless stand
talking three or four feet away with
hands hanging lifelessly at her side. Now
this would indicate nothing in the pic
ture. The actress must show what is
really being achieved by spoken word
And this very thing accounts for much
of the rushing around and close group
ing and waving of arms that you see in
the pictures but which certainly is not
characteristic of we'll bred society.
Polite Americans, like the English,
avoid gesture to a surprising extent

An entirely different kind OF road

Locality too, has a good deal to do
with the type OF road needed,
Around large cities where heavy motor
trucks make hauls fifty miles or more
out, 4 dirt read would be torn up in no

whereas out in the Rocky mountains,
dirt roads are in many districts we'll
adapted to the class OF traffic.
But almost everywhere heavier roads
are coming to be necessary, and while
they are two or three times as expen-
sive as macndam or clay roads they are
economical IN the long run.
A concrete road now costs from $4,000
to $4,000 a mile, which is 10 per cent
more than II cost before the world war
At that, roads have not gone up so
much as some other necessities.

In Massachusetts, whore account has

Highways.
A BILLION TO SPEND
BY frederic ]. HAsKIN.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The road sit
uation in this country is reaching a crit
ical stage.
We have a billion dollars to spend on
road building this year. and a compre.
hensive program mapped out, but very
little work is going on.
In fact, It is officially prophesied that
the different states will accomplish only
10 to 80 per cent Of what they planned
for this year.
And while this apathy hangs over road
building projects, the roads that we have
ire going to pieces so fast that in some
places you can fairly see them rayeling.
Highways that were built to carry the
old fashioned buggy, or even passenger
automobiles, collapse under the weight or
loaded 1--WE ton trucks and as repairing
roads is one Of the things that we as
nation refuse to bother with, some Of
these roads have become so choppy that
navigation Is attended by actual danger
not to mention seasickness.
Roads are not being built or repaired
to any extent now for the same reasons
that all construction Is retarded.
Labor is high and scarce. Materials
are expensive.
But these difficulties could be COPIED
with The main trouble Is In transporta-
ton.
The railroads are around 100000 freight
cars short
During the war, cars and locomotives
that got out OF repair had to be set of
on sidings, no labor for repairs being
available.
The bulk Of freight cars that are run
ming are requisitioned for carrying food
and coal, so that where no local materials
can be utilized for road werk, building
is both slow and uncertain.
Contractors have for some time held
hack from making contracts fcr fear that
they win not be able TO fulhu them, and
also because they are afraid prices may
