had alone sought the hotel breakfast

disturbed by his change of habit. He
looked at her curiously with an un-

a chair opposite.
Leyland, groomed for the morning,
might have served as a model for
tailoring, haberdashery and all else
that superficially denotes a man of
fashion. His fetish was fair out

Mrs. Leyland. as lately had been
her habit, was a bit frumpish in ap-
pearance. She had not enjoyed the
full ministration of her maid, appar-
emily. Her hair needed attention and
there were traces Of cold cream. They
had been married about a year.

sponded to his salutation.
Leyland proceeded with his grape
fruit, but was manifestly disturbed by
her presence.

period, if you would have permitted
me to see you as you now are before
we were marriedT He looked about
the room and added: IT'S lucky there
are few persons down yet"

his former wife's appearance. She
had q poise new to her and an air
that charmed. Her companions be-

George Kibbe Turner started
his literary career when he first
came out of college. He Joined
the staff of the Springfield Re-

surprisingly interesting stories.
Then one day. as the phrase
Is, but quite different in fact,
Mr.. Turner wrote novel for
McClure's Magazine. 1t had a
New England setting and a po-

wide and important comment.
Thereafter for nine years Mr..
Turner was one of the literary
staff of McClure'S Magazine.
and he wrote both articles and
fiction on a great variety Of
subjects.
Mr.. Turner is the author OF
many books, short stories and

Must Raise $2,225, 100000 by
End Of Fiscal year.

Washington Sept. 2S.-Uncl

cial problem in the near future.
BY the end of this fiscal yea
he must raise $2,225, 100000 t
meet deficit in running ex
penses and maturing obligations
according to estimates prepared
today by the budget bureau
This sum must be raised in ad
dition to ordinary governmental
receipts.
More than $1,500,OOO,0OO o
the total must be secured by thu
end of the calendar year.
The biggest single item il
$9OO,O00,OO0 and represents the
victory notes called for redemp
ton on December l.
Next i'll size is the sum Of $685.
100000 to meet war savings GER
tificates maturing on January l.
To this must be added 1925, O00,-
900 in interest on these certifi-
Gates.
Other interest obligations total
1925, 100000. Rounding out
these figures is the prospective
net deficit of 1926, 100000 in the
running expenses.
Budget bureau experts believe
that part of the total will be met
out of current receipts, as they
expect the new tariff measure to
increase the federal revenues to
measurable extent. An in
crease of $3,500,OOO in customs
receipts was noted last Saturday
the first day the new tariff
was in effect-but this was part
ly due to the failure of eleventh
hour efforts to import goods I'M
der the old and lower rates.
The prospective. net deficit for
this fiscal year totals 1861, 0O0,- |
900 according to budget bureau
estimates. There is an offset
against this sum, however, of
1922, 100000, which represents
the general balance in the treas
ury at the close of f the last fiscal
year.
Total receipts for this fiscal
year We're estimated at $3,O73,-

placed at 1871, 25S,542.

Referee Daniel J. Gleason, ii
all opinion made public, today
decided in her favor in the di
vorce suit brought by James "A.
Stillman, millionaire and former
president Of the National City
bank.
The referee recommended that
Stillman be refused divorce.
He ruled that Baby Guy Still

Gus case, is actually the lcgiti-
mate son of Mr. and Mrs. Still
man and therefore entitled to
share in the vast fortunes of the
family. The contention that
Fred Beauvais Indian guide, is
father of Guy is rejected as not
proven.
Gleason opinion is that Mrs.

charge that Stillman was init
mate with florence Helen Leeds,
that he maintained her as his
wife, and that they had two chill
