Letter from John Alden Prescott
 Fiancc of Leslie Hamilton, to Syd'
 ney Carton, His Bachelor Friend.
 Dear Syd:
 Although I did not get those d. letters I am very glad I came over and had this little talk with Paula, l have very different feeling about her now than I did after getting her letter the other day. You see jumped to the conclusion that she had it in for me. I know now that you are right. She is a pretty decent girl after all. Of course she let me understand that she cared for me and would always care, but she did it very delicately and, to tell you the truth, Syd, felt rather like the cad you in- timated I was in your letter.
 The moment I arrived, I called up Paula.
 She recognized my voice at once and she gave little exclamation of delight. "Oh, it is mon cher Jacques. That you were basking in the ca resses of your sweetheart I have been thinking. and queer little sinking feeling it gave me.
 Why are you here? Is your won derfuI love dream over?"
 No. Paula," answered, 'but when syd wrote me of dining and motor- ing with you, the sudden impulse came over me of seeing you just once more. l guess I became bit home- sick for the sight of you
 Jacques" she spoke most solemn ly. do you really mean to tell me that you came back purposely to see me?''
 That is exactly what I did," con fessed.
 You dear!"
 Well, will you dine with me this evening? I can only stay 24 hours, you know"
 Happier than I ever conceived I could be again will I be to sit oppo- site you at a. softly light table," she answered in that queer little French idiom that she gratis on her English words.
 To pass the time I took the road ster and started out for a long ride. Strange, isn't it, Syd. the perversity of the mind of man. When got into that roadster my thoughts were all of Paula. but had hardly thrown the engine in gear when Les lie took possession of my brain--she

The real French method of making a Hollandaise sauce is to make an emulsion of egg yolks. acid and but ter cooking it over water. To this thick sauce which is quite the finest of all sauces, some American cooks add boiling water, thinning the sauce and making it good for baked or boiled fish where thinner sauce is more desirable. Because the sauce cannot be kept hot without danger

BREAKING INTO MOVIES IS SERIES OF BUMPS AND THUMBS,

BY VIRGINIA BRADFORD.


 Hollywood, March 31.-Breaking into the movies isn't done with one resounding smash. It's a succession of bumps and thumps.
 My budding career consisting now of comedy background" and a Spanish dance. rose after another in- terval to the wobby heights of a cam ers back in a film circus put on by the Jackie Coogan company for "T6Gy Tyler
 Now one of my pet avarsions was camels. But no ambitious girl is going to let such critter get her goat on the trek to fame.
 In a lot adjoining the studio home of the Coogan company a big tent had been erected. To get crowd for the circus scene, crowd of free ex- tras, the public had been invited. They had come by hundreds to get a glimpse of the famous kid" To sustain their interest while Jackie wasn't acting professional clowns and gag men had been engaged.

 His humpship tried the same tac. tics with me. But when he found his efforts to Gslodge me were mere ly providing new extra with thrills he settled sulleniy to worl;.
 I was dressed in diaphanous raj ment: a few veils. no stockings. bed room slippers and spangle or two for good measure. My feet shrank from the cold, and if the camel's knees were as goose-feshy as mine didn't blame him for being ugly.
 Jackie Coogan was a ragged boy, a runaway, selling ice cream cones to the circus crowd. his cap cooked iauntily and his eyes big with pa thetic appeal.

With the governors drastic sug-

their ears, legislators were again
startled yesterday morning when the

ones viewpoint. Adjournment was
the signal for gossip galore: favor

Solons, department workers and
even the spittoon squad were seen
in duos, trios, quartets, quintets, Sex
tets, knots and groups, discussing the
recommendations which range from
adjustment of Offices to a postage
stamp ban.
Like the governors message the
dominant note of the report is re-
trenchment. In fact there is a re-
markable similarity in recommends
tions tending toward this end. Not
only does the committee find much

Germany Regrets "
U. S. Troop Withdrawal
Were Steadying Factor

Berlin, Jan. 10. By A. P.)-The
German government lost no time this
evening in arriving at an interpreta-
ton of the French and Belgian notes.
and the recall of DR.. Wilhelm Mayer,
the ambassador to France, and DR..
I.andsberg. minister to Belgium, rep
rescnts the first counter action to
French occupation of the Ruhr.
Chancellor Cuno and Foreign Min
lister Rosenberg had a conference
with the members Of the Reichstags
foreign relations committee. lasting
three hours, but only a brief resume
of their confidential discussions was
issued tonight.
Word that President Harding had
recalled the American troops
reached the chancellor during the
progress of this conference but was
not referred to in connection with
the committees deliberations.
Official quarters thus far have de-
clined to discuss the significance of
the American step. While few of
the political leaders interpret it as a
moral reproof' to France. the bulk of
opinion around the ReichStag was in
clined to believe that the presidents
actor. was fastened by desire to pre-
vent the American forces from becom-
ing entangled in any complication
which may arise through the French
advance into the Ruhr.
Popular opinion reflects general
regret at the withdrawal of the
doughboys. not only because their
presence always was viewed as a
beneficial and neutralizing factor in
the occupation situation, but chiefly
because of the conviction that the
American precedent will be followed
by England. thus leaving the Rhine
wholly at the mercy of the French.
