STINNES DISTRUSTS
 ALLIED SINCERITY
(By the Associated Preas)

Berlin, Nov. 28.-Europe is treating Germany as a negligible quality at Washington, in the opinion of the All gemeine Zeitung, the organ of Hugo Shines, German industrial leader and capitalist.
 His newspaper attacks the speech of Premier Briand of France, in which pea is made that France needs to arm against further German aggression, as fabrication. His journal also de- clares that the question of naval dis armament has been given primary con- sideration at the conference so that France may hold an indefinite fran chlse for continuing devastation in Europe.

Grace Cameron Surprises Me
EAnnAn NNIII

SAFNRNNA
At the door of Grace's room 1
who is it?' the voice which
came from within was quite COM
posed.
"Helga Sorensen." I replied and
then. slowly, the door opened.
"Well?" Grace was smiling. She
passed a hand over her forehead and
replaced a hairpin or two. quite
a little party, wasn't it--too bad 1t
had to happen right at your door.
l hope we didn't startle you?" She
was almost laughing.
I'm afraid / don't understand,
1 said. WAS it about the note that
vas thrown into my window? How
did you know about it-were you
connected with it ?"
Not until / asked that did I real
lie what 1t might mean. Tom had
written the note; of that l was posi-
tive. But if 1t had gone through
Grace'S hands before reaching me,
how did that happen? Tom must
have known her, but how? He must
have seen her last night-it couldn't
have been just a chance meeting.
1 felt worried and wished that ]
had stayed out of the affair, for even
though 1 had refused to marry Tom.
| L uluh L want 10 lltT1u that he WASH |
on the square.
This was just what l was afraid
of when we staged that little show
at your door, Miss Sorensen-I
didn't want you to wonder about
things and I didn't want to have to
tell you a lot of things. But now
she shrugged her shoulders and
laughed heiplessly, at must be either
II thing or the other: you will al
ways wonder how it happened and
perhaps blame someone"
You needn't tell me-we can for
get that there ever was a note"
Eyes, Miss Sorensen, that would
be lovely" dryly, but it happens
that folks do not forget those little
! things. No one ever forgets any
thing! 1t may be out of their mind
temporarily. but it has made its
impression, it has had its effect on
the future. And so it would be with
the note-it would leave a scar.
Unless I tell you certain things
you will begin to question the pur-
pose of n certain man whom you
and l know-and I don't want you
to question him." She looked at me
oddly.
You puzzle me-"
mo, l do not puzzle you. Those
were empty words-Miss Sorensen.
l might have puzzled Mrs. Ames be-
cause her kind of a woman never
understands why any woman wants
to be honest with any other woman
or man for that matter-but I'm
sure that you a understand that
there are some women who want to
be honest with their fellows. Those
are the women who have lived, or
are living. close to the heart OF
things, and whether they live good
or bad lives according to the worlds
standard makes little difference
they're honest in their attitude to-
ward their fellows.
THE women like Mrs. Ames are
the ones who cause the trouble, Miss
Sorensen. Mrs. Ames is not living;
she is just in the fringe.
