CHAPTER 1O3
 Well, you see, while 1t was won derfu1 of Muir tC lend me that five thousand-of course, I had to in- cre3se it to make it do what l wanted to do. So, when a friend of mine told me of a chance to double the amount in no time, l agreed to put good part of 1t into the stock he was selling. There is hitch somewhere. l know 1t was good investment-but, unhappily. l fear l cannot realize on it as soon as l hoped. So, when Mur's note falls due, I may have to get him to eX- tend it. And he may not be willing tC do it.''
 What does that mean-extending the note? Waiting little longer for the money?"
 "Yes. It is most unfortunate for the delay is through no fault of mine. But l have worried myself sick over it."
 "Don'tr she begged. "Mr. Muir may be willing to wait. Surely he cannot need the money himself just yet"

 Oh, dear!

She had leveled d careful camera at her youngest hopeful, playing unconsclousiy in his sand box, and had tried her hardest to get good results.
 w nat do you suppose Is the mat ter she went on. Just see this one. His face is as black as ink, with no eyes showing at all, and his romp- CTS look like snow white blobs. And ihls one is too dark and this one too matter"
 We are not all as bad as we are kodaked," quoted her husband mis- chfevously. But I'll tell you. dear, what q man In the office told me. He takes prizes for hls amateur pho tography, and he gave me some pointers.
 'ln the first place, full glaring sun Is the worst light to put the subject In: The strong sunlight makes the whites too white and the shadows are too black In consequence. The bright light generally makes the vic tim squint, besides. He says that while bright day Is essential, 1t Is better to take the picture in the morning or mid afternoon, when the light Is softened and indirect, rather than noon. A place shaded by very tall trees, where the shadow Is thin- ner, Is good also. A sligtly overcast day Is not bad. If you put the sub 1ect in the open.
 One way to tell whether the light is diffused enough Is to close the eyes all but a crack, and peer out at the subject. If you get an effect of strong white and dark spots or areas, your snap vii! show these contrasts If you can see all the details In equal strength your picture will be clear and not blotchy. This, of course, ap- plies to your little camera, which does not have a device for lessening

COLORADA TERRACE
~'ViscOuntess BeIlairs" Says Her
 Father Was Of Stnte'S Nobility

America has had the royal institu- tion of the peerage wished on her So far, however, the only claimant to a title under the republic is Mrs. Pietro Giuseppe ZoccClo, who calls herself "Viscountess Bellairs of Colo rado.' But more than that. she says she is peeress in her own right. This means that she will have a good claim to 1t in an American house of lords should congress see fit to legislate one into existence.
 "ViscGuntess Bellairs" has just come into prominence .in a way usually not sought after by members of the British peerage. A grand con cert in aid of the London hospitals was announced to take place here. The name "Niscountess Bellairs" ap- peared on the advertising posters as the organizer. But when a number of ticket holders arrived at the hall on the night named they were told that the concert had been canceled.
 The "viscountess" has now ex- plained that, as she only sold about SEQ worth of tickets and had spent nearly $50. with the prospect of hay ing to spend S750 if she went ahead with the affair she concluded to call it off and return the ticket-holders' money.

clean,' and certainly that applies to giving up and getting a new position Most of the young women who have worked in one position for five, six or eight years get a false confidence place wrong value on their serv- ices. They might through years of experience. familiar association and contacts be worth, let us say, $40 week to their old concern, but cer- tainly they may not be worth that to concern that Is just hiring them. Sometimes a concern pays a girl $40 a week because she knows its GUS toners, knows their pecularities and how to handle them For that knowl- edge she is worth a good salary. But to another concern, with no knowl- edge of its customers, is she worth $40? Probably not.
 Girls, again I caution you, don't be too nasty in giving up your positions. If you don't like some one in the of- flee try to be transferred to another department or to another line of work in which you will not meet that person frequently. If you think you have been with a concern too long ask yurself why you are getting your salary. Is 1t because of the length of time you have been there?
 Think twice-and think hard-be- fore you give up a good job for an important or a trivial reason. Re member that good positions are very scarce today. Whats more, vacation Is coming.
