FILMS OF FLAPPER
 ARE TO REFORM HER
Contrast With Other Type of Girl
 Urged at Pnrcnt-Tcachcrs' Maat

Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 3.-Spe. cial motion picture films wherein the napper may see herself as others see her were suggested by Mrs. Frank c. Everitt of Trenton, chairman of the Pnrent-Teachers association, who Is here for the annual convention of the New Jersey branch of that body.
 Mrs. Everett said that the fiappcr needs study In contrasts. She should see herself portrayed on the screen In the act of comporting her self n Ia iapper. Then she should be invited to witness the department of a girl of refinement who can enjoy herself and be free from the typical flapper characterlstics,i the speaker added. Mrs. Everitt feels that If the fiapper were to sec the impression cigarette smoking, objectionable danc- ing and whisky drinking by young girls makes on the beholder she would think matters over.
 "Too much blame should not be placed upon the younger woman, however" she said. The severest criticism should be directed towards the elderly woman who smokes cigar cites in public places and dances i'm '"odostly. for she is setting a demor- alizing example. Nothing is more dis concerting to anyone interested in the moral welfare of the country than the sight of mother and daughter both smoking cigarettes in public place."
 Mrs. Everitt does not believe the extent of cigarette smoking among women and young girls is realized. She advised that parents be warned and that they In turn warn their daughters against smoking and i'm

She drew herself up proudly and
flung out the words with indescribable
energy. The whole court was electri-

gered Payne. 1t was one Of the worst
things she could have said. He did
not dare glance at the jury.
"What was the nature of the bargain

the lawyer.
HE said he would win Miss McDon-

would help him gain control Of the

that he could examine some papers

that he had scored. A disagreement

Confession.

When Wilton was arrested Kitty ha6
been stunned by the news. She had
made frantic attempts to see him, but
without success.
Kitty knew on what the charge was
built, and the consciousness that Will.

dom even at the cost of that humilIa

realized that treachery was the one
sin that he would never condone.
At last, when she could bear il nc
longer, she resolved to go to see Bow.
yer. She left secretly, at an early hour
one morning, and reached Cold Irnc
ton a little before noon.
At the same hour BOwyer wai
seated in the office of his house there.
Facing him across the desk was Clark,
the manager of the Bank of New
North Manitoba at Clayton.
I'm not going to take you up Oa
your prepOSterOus story" BOwyer
stOrmed. 81 won't answer it. Nor will
l deny it. You won't get yes or mo-
out of me. Let's say you've rendered
special and confidential services to the
bank this past year and you want
bonus. How'll that dO?"
Call it what you like" said Clark.
But get me straight, Mr.. Bowyer 1
didn't tackle that job to be fobbed off
with a paltry two hundred dollars. 1
know what it was worth to you and
l want a proper price for it. I'm not
bargaining. I'm going to bleed you
just what you're willing to stand. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
bonds, which I'll specify, and fifty
thousand in cash."
BOwyer went white. Clark had
gagged his limit exactly. The two men
eyed each other in silence for a few
seconds. Then Bowyer capitulated.
Your talents are wasted here" he
said. "I'H take you up on that, and
I'll be able to employ you to better
advantage after the first of the year.
You're not afraid of a check"
"NOt in the least said Clark.
Thank yOu!"
He took the check and Sauntered
out of the house. When he was gone
BOwyer gave way to one of his mad
RACES. He called up Phayre and
damned him. He stamped up and down
the Office; and in the middle of it his
man announced Kitty.
When she came in he was smiling
and admirably under control. "Well,
Mrs. BostOck, l guess this isn't social"
he said. Last time we parted you
were quite veXed with me-"
Kitty put her hands to her eyes and
broke down. Il can't bear it," she
sobbed. Its too awful! I've been i'll
for days, and-I had to come to you.
It's Wilton and Molly. If you had any
hand in that poor child's death, may

she'd taken fancy to Lee Chambers.

Wilton had another visitor that day.
