this winter and live through those
songs and dances and jokes again.
"You seem to want to solve my prob
lens, so I'll leave 1t to you Instead Of
the coin. To sign or not to sign, that
Is the question:"
Iris considered, and then-"Well, l
signed my contract for vamping yes
terday-and jokes are not patch on
homewrecking."
"All right, lady," said he, "jokes 1t
u.s."
Iris Ybarra and Cyril Smith looked
at each other in the deepening shadows
of Central Park. Across the Mall a big
hotel lOomed up invitingly, its hun
dreds of windows aglow, shining down
on them like hundreds Of friendly lit
tie stars. A sudden idea flashed into
Cyril Smiths mind.
81 say-do you like tear" he asked.
81 do" answered the vampire, en-
phatically, although the public likes
to think of me imbibing highballs by
the Dozen"
Across the tea table, half an hour
later, Cyril Smith had another idea.
Life was moving fast for the matinee
idol.
He kept 1t to himself for few min
utes, while the orchestra played the
soft strains of LA Boheme" and their
teacups were exchanged for raspberry
colored ices. Then he burst forth
Don't think I'm crazy, lady," said
Cyril Smith. "But, are you married?''
Iris shook her head negatively.
swell -er- have you anything
against getting married?" he con-
tinued.
"a vampires place is in the home
she answered demurely.
my homer he asked.
This time Iris Ybarra gave her head
a decided nod in the right direction.

Some wet New York newspapers
charged recently that my father and |
have spent 100000, 100000 to get pro.
hibition so as to get more work out
of our employees.
81 found by investigation that my
father and l together have given
$4,000 for prohibition. We have
done it because we believe 1t is a
great moral improvement for this
country.
"Profiteering? Yes, there is profit
eering. The man who charges 500
for $50 article is profiteer. And
the working man who charges 81 for
81 cents worth of work is a. profiteer.
Neither l nor my father have had
anything to do for twenty years with
the price of gasoline.
THE Interchurch World Movement
is imperative because the time has
come when churches and Christian
must cease fighting and competing
with one another, and join in united
battle against organized unbelief and
sin. Seventy per cent of the Pro
testants of America have joined in this
great movement l believe it will be
the greatest force for righteousness in
the history Of the world.
81 said the other day that the sum
sought was to be $33O,0OO,OOO; man
interrupted me and said that it was
$S36,0OO,O00. asked him, What does
six million dollars amount to-? i will

The man gave a bitter little laugh.
TITS all right for you to talk that way,
lady. But what do you know about

that matter? You have probably never
been closer to 1t than disappointment
in your new winter hat or the incon-

RETURN TO THE BEGINNING?
Hard to ForeteII Result Of Changes
Which the Old World Is Fac
Ing Today.

That this has been time to disem-
barrass ourselves of superfluities and
get down to essentials is so obvious
that we don't need to have it pointed
out to us, yet there is good deal of
preachment on the subject, according
TO "The Point of View," in Scribner's.
1t is entertaining to get the different
points of view One woman writer is
jubilant over the promise of new
Utopia, a simple world of few or no
servants, few clothes (and those made
very short in the skirts), moderate
food and modest entertainments; in
short, a general reduction of the cares
of the body. ooh, destiny" she cries,
"help us to recover our lost democrat
ic simplicity"
Another, more radical, quotes those
who say that we must "dip into the
primeval," that all our miserable lit
tie civilization" must go, and we must
find ourselves back at the beginning of
things, hoping, after some cons, to
climb up again-presumably-the per-
feet civilization. According to this
melancholy prophet all that the world
has painfully learned through the cons
of the past is to go to the scrap heap
not only the civilization of the body
but the civilization of the soul.
don't believe it! Mortify the flesh as
we may and must, our souls and minds
are not going to the scrap heap. When,
indeed, has the spirit of mankind ever
mounted higher than in the wreck of
so much that has been dear? No, we
may be obliged, and doubtless to our
souls good, to bake and brew-did
say brew? The expression Is archaic
and will soon become obsolete In our
bone-dry age-to cook, then, to sweep
and dust, to wash and iron and sew
but in relearning these household arts
we shall also practice the virtues OF
thrift, of perseverance and energy
and self-sacrifice; and the high virtue
of patriotism will become more than
: ever a part Of the texture OF oul
souls. Nor shall the civilization OF
the intellect perish. Only we shall
not have time for the unessential OF
the unworthy.
But this emergency comes home tc
many women who are no longer able
to perform hard manual labor. Serv
antless, they flock to the hotels, whicf
become veritable "Old Ladies
Homes" Foregathering In these
places of refuge, they think sometimes
but less often than one would imagine
of their household treasures-the ole
mahogany, the china, the pictures, the
family clock, which has passed th'
time of day with three or four genera
tons, all now packed away in the stor
age warehouses.

Power over Snakes Brief.

It is a curious fact that the snake
charmers of India change their VIC
tins every year, letting loose the
snakes they have had for exactly a
year, to the very day, procuring fresh
ones to take their places. The super
stition in the family is to the erect
that their power over INDIVIDUAL
snakes becomes ineffective after exact
ly one year.
They cite as proof the fact that a
yenturesome female snake-charmer
once attempted to keep particularly
fine specimen beyond the specified
time.
The result was fatal; the woman
died from the creatures bite. This
odd belief could be easily explained
by the fact that, knowing this legend
the woman lost her condensation

No one would have recognized Iris
Ybarra. the most beautiful vampire in
moviedom, In the smart little figure
that sauntered into Central Park that
bright fall afternoon. Clad In dark
blue suit of simple cut, bunch Of
fragrant violets pinned at her belt,
she looked like sweet sixteen persona
fied-a figure of "Spring" that has lost
her way on the yearly calendar, arriv-
Ing In our autumnal world too late
for practical use.
Iris sat down on q bench In the
warm sunlight and smiled at the ba-
bies in their carriages. Every lady
smiled back at Iris. But finally they
all went homeland then Iris atten-
ton centered itself on the tragic face
of man seated on an adjoining
bench. He had not noticed the babies
with their smiles. All the afternoon
he had been sitting there, cycling a
coin held listlessly in his hand, and at
this moment, with defiant toss of his
head, he was Tipping 1t up in the air.
He leaned forward to see how it fell.
Tails" Iris heard him mutter. I'll
make it two out of three"
He tossed again. Before he could
pick up the silver piece Iris was at
his elbow. her face all puckered up
with friendly concern.

cried. The man looked UP in amaze
ment, but she rushed on impetuously,

A FEW QUESTIONS ON
the PAY OF MINISTERS

Why should ministers be forced to
cry for better pay? Why not turn tha
tables and ask the churches their rea.
son for paying pastors less than they
earn and even less than the cost oil
living.
An industrial corporation is roundly
condemned If it pays poor wages
What, then, shall be said of tie
churches still paying the salary of five
years ago with dollar worth less than
half what 1t was then?

FIND FACTS ON ALL
CHURCHES, IS PLANNED

The object Of the Interchurch World
Movement Is not to eliminate or close
any church. 1t is a cooperative move
ment of denominations and it has nc
authority to close churches or to plant
them. But its survey is seeking ca.
the facts as to where churches may
have been unwisely placed and whers
hey have ceased to be useful. Then Il
will inform the general church bodlt
and they may do what they pleasi
with the facts.
