The chorus girl gets dressed for re- hearsal by donning her practice clothes which she has brought with her, or has left in the dressing room the night before, or else by the sim pie expedient of slipping off her street garments,
 She is now in the one typical chorus costume that the public never sees. Ziegfeld, the younger, has over looked this bet. These practice clothes" used to be more or less of a uniform design, but nowadays they baffle description. Tn the old days they consisted mainly of the jersey blouse and bloomers. with black stocking fleeing sedately up toward the thigh, and were quite enough.
 Occasionally, it is true, the stock ings were also brown or white, de- pending upon the street scheem worn to rehearsal that day or upon the section of Greater Manhattan in which Gwendolyn lived and slept

GERMAN REPUBLIC FLAG ATTACKED
 BY H|NDENBURG
 By Associated Press

Berlin, December 24.-Field Mar shal von Hindenburg said in recent interview that the new German col ors, black, red and gold. ought never to have been adopted, as to him they symbolized the fratricidal warfare in 1886 between Prussia and other Ger man states.
 A historian in the Vorwaerts de- fends the colors of the republican flag on the ground that they date back to mediaeval times. The Elm peror Ludwig of Bavaria. it appears, made black, red and gold the colors of his army as far back as 1886.
 In 1915, when the first German stu dents societies were founded, black. red and gold were adopted as the banner of liberty and progress. Re actionary authorities later forbade the colors, but in 1S4S they were again adopted as symbolizing German unity. Again they came under the official ban. for Bismarck disliked black, red and gold, and despite strenuous efforts in many quarters to retain them, they were rejected in 1871 as the new German empires colors. Black, white and red be- came instead the official German flag.s
 The writer cites poetry by Heine and Freiligrath at the time of the democratic awakening in Germany some 70 or so years ago. when black was represented as symbolizing the death of tyranny, red meant blood, and gold stood for the sacred flame of freedom.

Cheer up, old boy" said Camille to Reggie. Remember the encourag- ing parable about the little fish in the sea. Goodies of 'em. If one girl isn't kind, remember the superflous two million that the papers are mak- Ing such fuss about"
 Her listener looked a trifle blank. Quicknes of wits was not his\ forte"
 Girls? And fish? l don't see con nection-"
 "of course you wouldn't. This with an air of brisk cheeriness. But the problems simple. The sea Is full of fish, and the land o'erflows with girls-nice girls, kind girls, pretty girls, rich girls. Then-why worry ?"
 He rose with an offended air
 If you're going to be flippant--"
 She put out kindly little hand.
 T was merely joking, Reggie. You take yourself so seriously
 And you won't be serious with .mep
 Well, why should I? I'm on holi- day" Her pretty laugh tinkled for a moment. Since you don't like my metaphor about the little fishes, why not initiate the bee, my freind?"
 The bee You meah-being busy-?"
 She shook her head.
 "The bee fits from flower to flower. you silly boy!" she said, and, merrily, went off to bed.
 Despite her valiant intentions, the absence of the man from Africa wor- ried Camille immensely.

 The ginning report from the cen- sus bureau was the main support of the market in the early part of the week, the total of 7,799,4 45S bales pro- duced to December 13 being under general expectations, and causing traders to claim that the government with it's figures of 9,340,000 bales had underestimated the crop. As the market hardened traders on the long side commenced to take profits and for while they more than supplied the demand.
 First notice day for January con- tracts was Friday and it brought a higher market, as tenders were not as large as expected. Predictions were that first notices would amount to from 15,000 to 10000 bales, but only .6.i00 bales appeared, and they were quickly stopped. It was gossip in the spot department that large spot in- terests stood ready to take up every thing rendered against January.

Camille took no notice of this sally. She was glad that no one else had heard it. How crude poor Dolly was, at times And her wit was very far frem brilliant.
 The morning dragged And the afternoon went by in leaden fashion. 1 There was no word or telegram from London.
 Camille went for moorland walk. The rain came on, however, and blot teG out the landscape. The silver birch and rowan trees that were so beautiful in sunshine hung weary lwa'nches, dripping in a melancholy manner.

"Of course, if you still hate me, you've only got 1 to say the word and I'll vamoose. l Camille"
 There was a dog-like air of ex- pectancy about him that touched the girl. Yes. she had been sharp last night. And today he looked so i humble.
 ! She relented. 1 I'll be quite glad of your conn pany. This highland weather is the 1 limit she said bluntly, dropping into the seat he had drawn up for her within the radius of the frelight and warmth. Thanks, Reggie. Will you ring the bell for tea?" l He did so. And pretty soon the two of them were enjoying a cheer l ful cup.

 Soft Conf Production The soft coal production for the year is estimated at 10000, GOO tons as compared with 535. .000, 900 tons in 1920 The industry has been and still is seriously hampered by labor unrest, and the high cost of produc- tion and transportation has recently made it possible to sell Welsh coal in our Atlantic and Pacific seaports at less than the price of the Amer ican article. This Welsh coal is brought out as ballast in English steamers coming hither for cargo. Considerable quantities are on the way to Portland Seattle and San Francisco.

SMALL BoYs ARE TRUTHFUL

Fred C. Kelly in Leslie's Weekly.
 Generally speaking, about the most reliable person from whom to get in- formation is a small boy. Any family possessing boy knows that he is ob- servant, 'gets into everything" and has no motive beyond satisfying his inordinate curiosity. He likes to pry into things for the sheer joy of find ing the facts as they are. When he grows older he may find 1t not so easy, for business or social reasons. to tell an accurate story. But when he becomes an old man. he once more may be like a boy--too mellow to have violent preiudices: interested in telling the truth for truths save.
