learned something. That some.

a place in which to reveal ones

not that New York was hard

that it was a busy place, and had
no time to listen to wnines. To
ask an advance on salary was, in
a way, to whine. Clancy was
not going to begin her relation.

anything but a basis of indie

So her pause before the lunch
room was only momentary. She
entered it Immediately. The
Trevor was onlye two hundred
yards away, but Clancy had only
pitiful amount of money in her
pocket. That is, money that be-
longed to her. Grannis' ten
thousand was not hers. To whom
~she would give it. she did not
yet know, but she did know that
she would starve before she used
any of it. It might be that
Sally Henderson would pay her a
half-weeks salary tomorrow. She
must hope for that. But she
must not rely on it. Hence she
must live leanly.
This was only her fifth
day in New York. It had
been her fortune to eat at restau-
rants Of the better class, at a
private home. Now, for the first
time since her arrival from
Zenith, she had opportunity to
find out what might have been,
what might still be, her lot. Not
that the food in the lunch-roon
was particularly bad. OF its kind,
it was rather good. But there
was the stain of egg upon the

which the food was served were
of the heaviest Of china. And
Clancy was of the sort that pre-
fers Indifferent food well served
to good food execrably presented.

that she had had only corned-beef

thought that sixty cents was an

- Owe and friendship are the
most important things in
- the world. The friendly
sun warns the soil and the farm
er's friendly care cultivates it
and the friendly soil gives back
the crops. And happiness also
depends on it.
If you put enough energy and
intelligence-and fertilizer and
seeds into the soil you get good
crops. And you don't try to fool
yourself about that-or to fool
the soil. If you put enough en-
ergy into any kind of work you
get good results-what you have
earned
The same theory holds good in
human friendships.
Stevenson said, ITO have a
friend, you must first be one"
That's true, isn't it?
To have a beautiful garden you
must first cultivate it, You don't
sulk or indulge in fits of pride
when your roses are visited by a
blight. You try to undo the eff.
fects. Why not apply the princi-
pie to friendship?
We work to fit ourselves into
our jobs. We struggle to recon-
Gle ourselves to the best means
OF making a living we can find.
But we don't work at our social
relations" And then we wonder
why we aren't happy.
Happiness is the thing for
which We are looking. Three
meals a day and a place to eat
them are not enough. A roof
over our heads and clothes to
wear under it are not enough.
We need contentment and peace
OF mind, and the blue bird of
happiness right by our own
hearthside.
The best way to secure happi-
ness is to put plenty into YOUR
relations and so deserve tho
plenty which Is bound TO come
back.
Friendship has been called
love without flowers or veil"

1t was a peculiar glance,
AA glance that told her
that in his eyes she was a
suspicious characterize better
than she should be, to put it
mildly.
And Vandervent's expression, as
he turned toward her, drove away
what fears Spofford's expression
had aroused. For, despite his ef-
Fort to seem casual, the young man
was excited. And not excited be-
cause of the name that she had
sent in, or because she had tainted,
but excited simply because Clancy
Deane was alone in the room with
him. He moved toward her. Quite
calmly she assumed control of the
situation, and did it by SO simple
a method as extending her hand
for the glass which he still held
and uttering the single word:
"Please."
She held the glass to her lips
for full minute, slipping slowly.
Falsehood was repugnant to her.
Yet she must think of how best
20 deceive Vandervent.
II suppose I've made you very
angry" she said, putting the glass
down upon the couch beside her.
Angry How could you make
me angry-by coming to see me?"
Vandervent, with an acquaint-
@nce that comprised the flower Of
American and European society,
was no different from any other
young and normal male. His at
titude now was that of the young
man from Zenith or any other
town in America. He was en-
barrassed and flattered. And he
was so because a pretty girl was
showing a certain interest in him.
But to-fool you! I-you'n

that she was pleading prettily.
- Forgive you? Why" Van
dervent had difficulty in finding
words. He was not a particularly
impressionable young man. Had
he been so, he could not, with his
name and fortune, have remained

CLANCY FACES HER PAST

Grannis had taken Clancy Deane to fash
ionable New York restaurant and given her a
banknote, thesbiggest she ever had seen in her
life, 81 900. 1t was all so strangely mixed up
with the Staying of Morris Beiner, whose face
Clancy had slapped some hours before he was
killed. There s more where that came FROM"
said the man, in crooks jargon, as he left her
too startled to either accept or refuse the bill.
The sudden twist of events had left the little
country girl, fashionably clad as she was speech
less.
At first Grannis had threatened her with the
police When she had accompanied him to the
her knowledge of one, Ike Weber. She replied
truthfully that she had never met Weber before
attending party composed of theatrical people,
You'll stick to that in court?" he asked. And
she nodded.
The Washington times., 1923-01-30

Apparently misunderstanding her, believing
she was not telling the truth, Grannis had then
left on the table the money and departed.
Clancy's adventures started the moment she
landed in New York from the country, an in
telligent and beautiful country girl, determined
to become famous film actress. She assumed
the name of "Florine Ladue" and Immediately
became enmeshed in tragedy as result of an
effort to land position with some moving pic
ture concern. She made two good friends David
Randall and Mrs Carey. The Beiner death cut
short her theatrical ambitions, but she became
connected with real estate concern and because
of her business ability was rapidly achieving
success. She had hoped that the past was buried
until Grannis confronted her and recognized her
as the girl at the Zenda party

ATTRACTIVE
NEGLIGEES
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

" cold weather, than loung-
w ing robes, kimonos and
negligees?
A practical negligee for the
woman who does not have time
for the luxurious lacy boudoir
gown is made from crepe in
copen, rose, orchid, peach or wis
taria, with sleeves and neck faced
in white.
1t Is a simple slip-on model,
being merely a long strip of ma
terial folded in two, with an open
ing for the neck. This is bound
with bias binding, and the sides
are also bound to form long
draped sleeves. Sits are cut for
a narrow girdle. But perhaps
the most interesting note of this
kimono is the embroidery in black
and white yarn in the shape of
spoked wheels, here and there on
the crepe.
A little more elaborate is an
other negligee of georgette crepe,
lace and crepe de chine. This
is appropriate for boudoir wear,
and suitable for the winter bride.
There is a slip Of accordionpl
crepe de chine with pointed seal
lops and sleeves. Over this is an
apron of soft lace cream. Over
this is an apron tunic of the geor-
gette pointed in the front, and
forming a long trailing sash in
the back.
Breakfast coats are still popu
ular because they are so univer-
sally becoming and comfortable.
The crepe de chine coats are lined
with soft China silk, and inter
lined with lambs wool for warmth.
The outside is prettily quilted and
is heightened at the hips by
flounce of the same material. The
neck is finished with reVers nicely
tailored. This lovely coat comes
in salmon pink, copen, light blue,
orchid and shell pink, with cream
silk lining.

TAX LAND MONOPOLY IS AUSTRALIAN CRY

Sydney, New South Wales, Austra1- la, March I6.-Premier> Fuller's land policy is condemned by organized la Dor because he would borrow money from money lenders, then buy land from the landlords and sell it to farmers and settlers.
 Enormous sums of money would be required for this purpose, which is de- clared "an abject surrender to the land monopolists"
 In voicing labor's opposition the Australian Worker calls for tax on land held out of use sufficiently high enough to force these monopolists to throw this land-now held for specu- lative purposes-on the market, there by cheapening the land and freeing it from monopolistic control
 Land settlement worthy of the name is not to be accomplished by the Fuller method," says the labor paper.
 After having for many years re- tarded the progress of the state, and exacted toll from it's population; after having driven the sons of the farmers into the cities to seek from the pave ments the livelihood they were not permitted to earn from the soil, the

WANT RAIL PROFITS
 ASSURED BY PEOPLE

Boston, March I6.-Let the gov ernment guarantee profits of railroads is the significant suggestion by James C. Davis, director general of railroads, in speech to railroad men in this city.
 Under the law the interstate com merce commission IS authorized to set of railroads. The commission has per mitted passenger and freight rates to be increased so that 5H per cent IS assured. Some of the larger roads have reached that figure and in few caseS have exceeded 1t. Other roads have not, and there is no provision in the law that the government aid them out of the treasury, as was done inn mediately after the war. Director General Davis wants to re-establish this system.
 Under the present law managers Roads like the Pennsylvania, the Le- high Valley, the Burlington, New Haven, Atlantic Coast Line, Southern pended vast sums since last July for striEebreakers and guards in their fight against the shop men. These expenditures are charged to operat- ing costs, which are passed on to the public. The same policy is followed in the purchase of equipment and SUD- plies Then the interstate commerce commission is asked to raise rates while these railroads again sing their sob story of being "the football of demagogues"

THE PALACE.

In selecting the headline attraction of the Palace vaudeville for the com ing Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the choice has fallen on "The Seven Honey Boys" who are regarded as the king pins of present day min strelsy. Each of the seven entertain CTS is star, in fact each may be called a veteran as all were members of that famous assemblage that was headed by George Evans and known as Evans Honey Boy Minstrels. The men forming this present day collec- ton of burnt cork entertainers are Tommy Hyde,' Jimmy O'Mare, Bill Cawley, Happy" Benway, Herbert Wilkinson, George Guest and Jack Brennan. Theatre goers who recol- lect the days of the minstrel will re- call all these names as being stars of George Evans unforgettable show.
 In the act offered by Mullen and Coogan theatre goers have an old friend, one whose presence has al- ways been solid guarantee of laugh ing moments. This performer is of the team of Mullen and Coogan.
 One of vaudeville's best musical comicalities is Ladies Choice" which has been furnishing Bobby Jarvis and his company with most successful vehicle. MT. Jarvis, who is a come dian of extraordinary cleVerness, is supported in his new act by Edna Jarvis, Nellie Leach and Anna Hill.
 Harry Mayo, considered vaudeville's leading baritone, is New Haven boy and quite naturally a great favorite here. MT. Mayo has been successful as a comedian but of late has been presenting an offering on which he depends entirely on his vocal ability.
 Fred Reynolds and Allie White deal in music, comedy and novelty with a most pleasurable touch of personal 1 charm. Miss White is clever, vivacious girl who dances gracefully l and plays a violin in a manner that | proclaims study and musical knowl- | edge.
 Emile Nathane and Julia Sully have one of those very dainty song and | dance blendings for which all vaude- vile gOers have a pronounced weak i ness.

land monopolists are now to be bribed to cut up portions of their estates and offer them at prices so high, so op- pressive, that unfortunate buyers would soon discover, in dull reaction of drudgery, disillusion and despair, that their last case was worse than their first.
 Freedom begins with the land on which, in the last resource, we all depend upon for our existence for our progress, for our happiness.
 And the simplest, the most just and efficient way to free the soil is to impose a progressive tax upon it-one that will render it improbable to withhold it from it's highest use"
