LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
CARE OF THE SECRET
DRAWER

1t has been a week since l wrote
you before, little Marquse, and such
a hectic week.
In the first place Jack went to
New York with Harry Ellington and
when he came back he informed me
he was sitting on the rim of the world
whatever that may Tdean. He in
sisted on taking me out TO the smart
est place in town for dinner and 20
dance and when l arrived there !
found Harty Ellington and Ruth.
I'm really very fond of Ruth. little
Marquise. for with all her foolish
vanity she is real woman and /
believe Harry Ellington has had Il
great deal to do with her flirting
propensities. l do not like him At
all.
That night Harry said screening
rather ugly to Ruth to the effect that
she was the most conspicuous woman
in the room i'm her very decollette
gown and her bodied. henna-colored
hair.
| thought she wGS very lovely and
I'm sure that Jack did. too. but poor
Ruth'S eyes filled with tears. | TX
pect | was rather interfering in
what was none of my business but
could not help saying. Il think Ruth
is much better looking and much
less conspicuous than that moving
picture actress. Edith Chapman. who
is sitting over there and | notice Won
have danced with her twice this csc.
ming and had very beautiful look on
your face while doing it"
Jack kicked me under the table
and Harry gave me furious glance
but / didn't care. thought it was
horrid of Harry Ellington to say those
things 10 his wife. especially as he
had been flirting outrageouSly with
the Chapman girl all the evening.
Just ut that moment Walter Burke
Strolled over and l was very glad Of
it. Notwithstanding Harry Filing
tons glum glances. he asked Ruth
10 dance. Ruth was about to refuse
but ! gave her look which told her
to go on and dance with him. Per-
haps | was all wrong. little MarQuise.

Ellington conld go into all sorts Of
unknown paths picking primroses anil
then come back expecting TO find such
gorgeous flower as Ruth hiding
away from mortal eyes. [ have never
vet known woman who really en-
joys it ito blush unseen"
Il can't understand what Ruth
sees in that man." said Harry vi
ciously.

exquisite and that she is beautiful. in.
stead of calling her gown conspicuous
and her hair unnatural"

who invented the device. known ms a
landing altimeter, is at work on plans
to increase its sersitiveRess to a radius
of 1000 feet.
The meter, which Is said to be par.
ticularly valuable for landings at

two plate condensers, similar to
vacuum tubes. placed on both wing
tips and working in an oscillating cir
cult.
Attached to an Indicator in the
cockpit. they give readings as soon as
the plane comes within 100 fee4 Of

sChats With Your
Gas Man

The introduction of Natural Gas has made it
possible to offer gas consumers very at
tractive rate In addition to straight reduc-
ton in price of 1870, figures for the past wear
prove that the same heating and cooking opera
lions can be performed with approximately
3Ofo less gas This condition is due to the in
creased heating value of Natural Gas.
Climatic conditions in San Antonio make gas
the ideal heat most of the time Hard fuel
should be used during our real cold spells but
generally it is unnecessary, expensive and I'M
satisfactory as compared to gas We are
anxious to build up the house heating load in
San Antonio because it will really and truly
solve your heating problem and we heartily
recommend the use of gas room heaters to our
customers.
