ISLAND TO GET AWAY FROM
FANATICS AND REFORMERS

Is the lowly beer mug to lead the
way to Utopia?
1t may, if William Griesser, archi-
tect, succeeds in his scheme of plant
ing a brand new island in the Atlantic
oceon, six miles out from the Jersey
coast.
The island, about the size of three
city blocks, is going to be one of those
places that you read about in poetry,
a tight little nation where everybody
minds his own business and house
maids work for 81 a week. Incident
ally, Griesser expects to prove a tri-
umph for his specially patented pro-
cess of deep-sea construction.
But thirsty citizens, gazing longing
ly to sea beyond the three mile limit)
will more probably see in it a place
where you can get four per cent beer
with a collar on it /. And a highball
with a kick.
Griesser, having been a designer of
breweries Che has something like 70
to his credit), has no prejudices. He'd
like to call his synthetic kingdom
"Welcome Land" But there will be
scant welcome for booze addicts.
"There's going to be no drunken
ness on Welcome Island" he says.
eff anybody gets drunk he's going to
be locked up. But it's going to be a

with boys, but really-like a
young woman Please let me
have my little triumph. I've
sworn you could. And then the
poor men,
Upon my word" Madame
Zattiany laughed outright. This
has gone far enough. 1 refuse to

versation any longer. / am i'm
mensely flattered. but you are
making me feel the rude hostess. -
And this time sho turned with an
air Of finality to the apologize,
almost purple, man at her side
and asked him to continue to en-
tighten her on municipal politics.
One or two women shrugged
their shoulders. A few looked
crestfallen, others, like Marian
Lawrence, malignant. She had
marched off with the flag, no use
blinking the fact, and it had
been small satisfaction to make
her admit what she had already
told the world. The rubbing in
had evidently missed it's mark.
And the men, instead of looking
cheap, were either Infatuated or
disguised. Only Clavering, who
managed to look bored and re-
mote, was attending strictly to
his salad.
One thing moro they could do,
however, and that was to make
the dinner q failure. They barely
replied to the efforts of the men
to make things go" and gloom
settled over the :able. Madame
Zattiany continued to talk with
placidity or animation to the men
beside her, and C.avering started
a running fire with Anne Good
rich, who, almost as angry as
himself, loyalty helped him, on
censorship, the latest books and
plays, even the situation in
Washington; and they continued
their painful efforts until the sig
nal was given to leave the
table.

eyes rested indulgently upon her

Madame Zattiany shrugged her

enough. After all, she could tell
