Whistling Winds

The wind whistled in the tiny
room-2nd no actor permits whis-
ting in a dressing-room. At the
stage door, Frances stopped to pet
the furry cat, regretting her blow.
The black beast purred as Frances
Stockwell went out.
The next day they found her body
in the snow-murdered.
The doors are boarded shut. The
curtain fallen and broken. The au-
dience is walled out. Burlesque and
vaudeville alike are shut off.
But the old and nameless black
cat still lives in the pit beneath the
stage-still prowls in it's nocturnal
way.
Now, it is to lose its home-crash-
ing sledges of wrecking crews are
to break down the doors-and break
the long solitude the ancient black
cat lived with ghosts-and memories.

The Fate of Frances

Sometimes on wfntry nights it sits
there-this omen of evil-as white
soft flakes drift through the skylight.
The anguished scream Of a patient
at the hospital next door sounds
through the fractured walls.
The fur rises stiff on the black
cats back-and the memory Of an
other winter night crowds into the
gloom. The night when a scattered
house watched Frances Stockwell as
she smiled and did her turn.
Behind her for the last time, the
French Frolics flashed their legs in
tune to the music. Frances rushed
to her dressing room as the curtain
fell. The black cat sat on a stool
looking into her mirror She struck
him-and he disappeared.

Omen of Ill Fortune

Why was the building closed-and

nothing for the crowded pavements

S%apphires, Emeralds
Are Popular Jewels

LONDON, Dec. 2~0-Sapphires and en-
eralds have become the most popular
jewels. apart from the ever fashionable
diamonds and pearls, among English
women, according to West End jewellers.
while for some unaccountable reason
there is little call for rubies, and ann
Der and jade have lost much Of their
popularity Of a few years ago. Flexible
platinum bracelets, studded with diam
onds, eme-alds sapphires and rubies,
are fashions latest jewelry fad.
Princess Mary is said to have been
responsible for the sudden popularity
of emeralds. Her engagement ring was
q particularly beautiful emerald. and
created an immediate ana pressing de-
mand for the stones. Then it was dis
covered that s~apphires combined strik-
ingly with the green jewels, and they
also jumped into favor.
One feature of the new fads, accord
ing to jewellers, is the passing Of the
choker necklace of pearls or large met
al or colored beads. Ropes OF pearls,
however, are as popular as ever.
