When A GirL Murries
By ANN LESLIE.

Carlotta sat in the proverbial brown
 study while I made my brief state-
 ment and opened my mind to the ashes of thought which went through
 it. Then, after a moment or two of
 silence, she said:
 l You'd better get in touch with that
 young woman as soon as possible. IS
 would probably be better to go out
 and see her if you have her home ad- | dress. Otherwise I'd consult her early | in the morning.
 'Pll call her on the telephone at
 once"
 T wouldn't said Carlotta. "I
 don't believe in money talks or legal | discussions over the telephone. I
 know there's some reason why you want to keep your husbands absence | from sounding like a scrap of juicy
 gossip for Tasty Tfdbits' So [ wouldn't talk over anything that lets
 him in for publicity-except face to face with the fellow I wanted to in- terview. Don't risk crossed wires" 'All right" I replied. i've Evvy Mason's little car outside. She wants | me to exercise it while she's off on a. | trip. l meant to take you for a spin right after dinner. But if you don't
 mind, I'll chase right out and get hold of Miss Storrs. The car only holds two," l added, lame1y. Carlotta nodded gravely and told me to run along, adding as I started to make my preparations. By the way,I settled the rent ques- | ton without, you. since, I wasn't able | to reach you. I got half a months rent, which is pretty generous for an | out-of-court settlement. Landlords | aren't so popular now that you'd have | been likely to get the full amount even though your tenants were there tbn fjY-Sf 1f fI,n VTY- may be able to get your own rental shaded while the place isn't habitable. | And soon it is, we'll take your l insurance money. furnish the place again and get better tenant at a | choicer rental. Trust your Carlotta, | for that.
 "Pd rather you got rid of my lease so wouldn't have the responsibility
 of that I said more fervently than I intended.
 | 'I'll do it if you 1ike,' replied Carr | lotta easily. But her eyes bored mine for a second before she turned away
 with a casual good night.
 At once I telephoned Mabel Storrs that I was coming for her as fast as a. motor and the speed laws would per- init, and that I hoped she'd come out to some quiet little place to dine with me. She agreed, and so in 1iffy I'd covered the miles between us, and we | were making our way down the aisle i of quiet little restaurant in her | neighb orhood.
 ] ''No one ever comes here.' laughed Mabel Storrs. 50 even the most | Puritanical of husbands couldn't mind
 your dining thus unpublicly with an4 | other woman.'
 l And as she said that my eye hap pened to stray to a quiet corner-and l tthere, behind a pillar, discovered
 Evvy Mason in animated conversa- ton with a man didn't know. Some | thing froze up in my heart at that
 moment. Evvy had supposedly de- parted for regions unknown this very l day And here she was giving every sign of absorption in a man I didn't | know.
 Up to her old tricks again." [ l thought sadly.

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

question has come up as 70 whether or not and my fiance are to buy the dress, etc, for my bridesmaid.
 This has worried me a great deal as some of my friends say should pay for it and others say I should not. B. A. B.
 The bridesmaids purchase their own dresses. The bride generally gives some little gift of tewe1ry to her attendants. The groom does the same for his ushers and best man.
 Old Friends
 A woman went to market to buy a fowl. At one stall two live ones were offered for sale. They were in the care of q little country girl The prospective purchaser asked the price of one. but the girl would not sell one without the other. Remem- bering that a friend had expressed desire for a. bird, the woman was induced finally to buy both. She asked the girl why she had refused to sell them separately
 The girl replied simply: eff you please, ma'am, mother said as how these fowls have lived together for IS years, and it would be a. cruel thing to separate them now"

The man with the withered hand had passed through into the other room. She heard them talking to- gether. as she followed She forced herself to walk with as nearly a lei surely defiant air as she could. The last time she had been with Danglar -as Gypsy Nan-she had, in self protection. forbidding intimacy. play ed up what he called her ''grouch"' at his neglect of her.
 She paused in the doorway. Half way across the room at the table Danglar's gaunt, swarthy face show ed under the rays of a shaded oil lamp.

 He stood there for a moment bit ing at his lips, hesitant between anger and tolerant amusement; and then. the latter evidently, gaining the as- tendency, he too shrugged his shout ders, and with a laugh returned to his chair
 "You're a rare one. Berthai" he said coolly. ''I thought you'd be wild with delight. I guess you're sick, all right-because usually you're pretty sensible. I've tried to tell you that it wasn't my fault couldn't go near you. and that I had to keep away fron-

Taxing. Of PROFITS
CAUSES DECLINES
coa|ers Are Affected, by
Strike Prospects Declines
Are GeneraI-Notes.

NEW YORK, March 22.-The an
nouncement of the intent Of the min-
ers to call strikes, plus the uneasi-
ness on the part Of the operators,
with large profits to take them in
while the margin was still satisfac-
tory, caused a weak feeling in many
stocks on the list in today's mar
ket.
Naturally, being under the direct in
fluence of the new situation, the coal
ers were the leaders in interest. but
despite the pressure declines were
by fraction in the early .,I hour OF
trading, gradually increasing until
Reading had lost points and other
coalers from to 2 points.
The grangers suffered somewhat, on
general weakness, particularly the
Pacifics, Union. Great Northern,
Southern and Texas Pacific, but east
crn trunk lines refused to weaken
and actually showed a better tone.
Pennsy, New Haven. Erie, Ontario
and Western Strengthening.
Equipments generally showed de-
cidedly easier tone, as well as the
steels and coppers.
Pullman Higher.
The only exception to the weakness
in equipments was in Pullman shares,
Whlch scored L-pOluI SdiAs
Sugars. American Ice, Beet sugar,
American Tobacco, Corn PRODUCTS
and Famous Players, with many other
industrials, suffered under the strain
of taking profit and at least tempo
rary retirement of the bulls.
Taking Profits.
The weakness which developed to-
day in the greater part of the stock
exchange list was due plainly enough
to conditions within the market, and
not to anything in the outside news:
1t must be remembered that Wall
street for the last two months mas
been engaged in anticipating i'm
provements in the outside trade. Now
that it's judgment is being borne out
by the multiplied evidence of expand
ing business and rising commodity
prices, it is doing what every specu-
lative community does under like
Observation-Disclosures down profits.
1t is the custom of a speculative
market to move ahead while yet the
trade reports are uncertain and to
pause when the expected happens and
these become definitely favorable.
Such is the time-honored practice
known as "discounting" a change for
the better in the outside situation.
Today's decline in stocks did not,
therefore, denote change of front
regarding the business outlook or re-
garding the Wall street outlook for
the longer run.

BONDS ARE ACTIVE;
u|BERTYSFEATURE

NEW YORK, March 22.-Bonds were
active and strong during the first half
Of today's session, in striking con-
trast to the hesitant tone of the stock
market.
Speculative rails were the most
prominent features, notably New
Haven consolidated As, which rose
2k points; also Erie General As and
convertible As. Pennsylvania 4k's and
Illinois Central refunding As hard
ened moderately, but Atchison As
eased. fractions and utilities were ir-
regular. Interborough Rapid Transit
SIS losing l point.
Liberty bonds showed increased
strength. the 3h's and most of the
AVS, making substantial advances,
but foreign issues were mixed, French
government 7h's, losing large frac-
ton.
Attest Market Strength.
Nothing else in the bond market to-
day attested as thoroughly the pres
as the continued rise of liberty loans.
which got well above their high rec
ords of yesterday. The active trad
ing in all the United States govern
ment issues, was the feature of the
day.
United Kingdom 5h per cent bonds
of 1929 moved up and most of the
foreign government obligations did
somewhat better. French republics
were the outstanding exceptions, the
TVS falling about a point and the
IS keeping around their low at the
close last night.
The movement Of New York city
traction bonds was unsettled. Hudson
and Manhattan refunding IS and ad-
justment 5s both reached their high
est for 1922. Interborough 5s de-
clined SHARPLY to around 60, on the
threat by Manhattan Elevated own
ers to apply for a receiver!
Most Of the standard dividend pay
ing railway bonds held their ground.
New York Central Is and Baltimore
and Ohio IS, however, went higher
than ever. The Frisco prior liens
rose fractionally and unusual activity
and higher prices occurred in the
Oregon Short Line first and refund

NEW YORK DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK. March 22.-Possible
additional curtailment Of cotton mill
production as a result of the Law
renee wage cut and the firm opening
of the raw staple market alike failed
TO produce activity in the dry goods
market today.
Demand was still scattered and
trading in small lots. Bidders still
sought concessions at a shade below
the prevailing prices, and while these
were granted in some instances in
the wider print cloths, most first hands
were not pre- sSing to sell. There was
some demand in brown sheetings for
export, but sateens and twills were
very quiet.
The raw silk market was weak
with little trading, buyers apparently
holding off in hope of adjustment of
the affairs of the Yokohama hourse
The market for broad silks was stag
nant, with mills preparing to reduce
production in some instances.

SUGAR MARKET QUIET,

NEW YORK, March 22-The raw
sugar market was easier today and
prices declined 1-16. with Cubas
quoted at 27-16, cost and freight,
equal to 4.04 for centrifugal for both
March and April. Sales of $4,000 bags
for early April shipment were re-
ported.
Raw sugar futures were steady and
prices at midday were UNCHANGED to
one point net higher
There were no changes in refined.
with fine granulated listed at $50.
The demand was less active
Refined futures were without trans
actions.
