%HARLOTTE primped before
her mirror, Strengthening out
the wide sash of her new eve
ming frock, flufFing the silver lace
in becoming folds about her snowy
throat. She surveyed herself a
dozen times until command from
her anxiously waiting husband
brought her to the realization that
he had been watching her from the
doorway.
"oh, was SO thrilled I almost
forgot we were gong" laughed
Charlotte as she slipped into her
evening cape and thrust her comb
at more comfortable angle.
I'VE can stay at home il you
would enjoy it just as WE'LL" threw
back Billy with a bored air.
THAT will do, dear I'm plan
ming to have the most wonderful
evening of the season. I know I
look lovely, even though you
haven't told me so. I'll be the
cynosure of every woman's eye in
the place"
Billy shrugged his shoulders.
But Charlotte was pleased, for she
saw a gleam of admiration IN
Billy's eyes as he looked her over.
He hailed a taxi as they came
down the front steps of the apart
ment house, and Charlotte found
herself being whirled past scintil-
lating street lamps that threw
pleasing little shadows across her
profile. She was admir-
ing Billy tremendously tonight.
She marvelled at the improvement
evening clothes always effected.
The taxi drew up before an old
Colonial clubhouse. Billy got out
and helped Charlotte to alight. In
a daZe of happiness and anticipa-
tion she mounted the wide steps
and found herself promising to
meet Billy as soon as she had left
her wrap in the dressing room and
had given the final touch of powder
to her nose.
Charlotte ran into Mrs. Hamp-
ton as she approached the long
dressing-room mirror. Plump, sat
isfed, middle-aged Mrs. Jack
Hampton, who knew her hus and
still thought her the most wonder
full woman in the world despite her
appearance.
"You look exquisite in that
gown" cooed Mrs. Hampton, al
ways eager to give beauty it's due.
'Have it made?"
"Well, yes, did," Charlotte ad-
mitted reluctantly, knowing it was
a half truth. She had picked it up
at a great bargain the day Billy
had sent his secretary to help her
select it.. But to admit that to
their friends would be fatal to
Billy's sense of financial security.

ALIEN LAND Law

Fresno Republican: Three federal
Judges in San Francisco have decided
that the California alien land law
does not violate any provision OF the
constitution and does not conflict with
any treaty now existing between the
United States and Japan. There is no
|doubt that the case will be carried to
the supreme court for final determine
tion, but in the meanwhile it is vim
dication of California IS position.
Under this law California has de-
creed that aliens who are not eligible
to citizenship are not eligible to own
land. The law was not passed without a
struggle in which the rational govern
ment played an important part. we
were told it was violation of the
treaty, that it would only be kindling
fires that might some day be Impossible
to ouench. We were accused of lingo
ISM and there was very little else to
be said against us that was not said
But California went ahead, acting
in manner it believed was right. IT
knew of the alien problem as probably
no other state in the union and the
step il. took was in self protection.
Many. have used the argument that
California has only done what the
japanese long ago did If the japanese
action was wrong, California action
would not right the wrong.
We are glad to say that this argn
ment was not the determining factor
in the passage of the alien land law
| We honestly believed that it was FOL
the welfare of our commonwealth that
we enacted such law and that We
were not violating any other laws o.
treaty obligations. The court has tax

slowly along looking carefully at the
ground.

to search in the grass for the lost
penny. ....

Miss Moore'S Career
Began With Concert

up in the Clouds" now at the Forty
fourth Street Theater, has as it's prima
donna young Southern girl whose voice
is one of the high lights of the show.
Miss Grace Moore has been previously
seen in New York with Raymond Hitch
cock in "Hitchy-Koo" and several other
productions.
Miss Moore halls from Tennessee and
had thoughts of becoming an actress at
at early age. Later on she fully de-
cided on the step, although the idea did
not exactly meet with parental approval.
After her student days in Ward-Belmont
College in Nashville Miss Moore entered
a finishing school at Washington, pay-
ing particular attention to her vocal
studies. She had an opportunity of dis
playing her voice at a concert at the
National Theater at which Martinelli of
the Metropolitan Opera was the visiting
star. Her success at this function fully
clinched the idea of a stage career.
She was encouraged i'm this by George
NJ. Conan and others who heard her sing
in Washington. So she entered upon a
system of hard work which brought en-
couraging engagements. Eventually she
was in "Hitchy-Koo" and also acted as
understudy for Julia Sanderson in the
production.
