hE LISLE'S restaurant was full on hD this Friday evening. It always filled up toward the end of the week, Marian reflected, watching from her dark dressing hoom the groups gathering at the many small tables. | She had put out her. light that she might ,unobserved, see the people who she was to entertain.
 She had already danced once-alone. Her performance had been greeted with applause. Two or three men had called out the 'bravos" that she always fancied were the result of too much liquor. One man had leered at her, Another had winked and nodded to her.
 The type of patrons was deteriorat- ing, she unused now. Or, what was more likely, liquor was sold more freely here than it used to be, De Lisle had been unmolested for so long that he was getting reckless. q"
 She recalled her conversation with her sister. Perhaps Lois had been right in suggesting that, in entertaining peo- pie who drank, the dancer was counte- nancing them in breaking the law.
 Marian felt a sick recoil as she thought of this. She must thrust the idea from her or she would not be able to do her next turn. And she must make money in some way!
 She was glad, seeing how full the room was, that her next dance was tC be with De Lisle, and not alone. Hi: presence would give her a sensation oi safety. Ae5 e2u

| A RENT we growing little tired A, of the foreigners who come to the 1 United States and Canada to tell us how crude we are? English lec- turers throng our shores to tell us we are a purely commercial people.
 What of the Frenchmen who admit with a shrug we are too. young to have any literature or painting or sculpture that is worth fig?
 Is there ever a day goes by but what we read in the newspaper of some new shortcoming, pointed out by some fresh- | ly arrived visitor to our North Ameri- can shores? Do we hold our peace as a rule and listen meekly as good children should? We do.
 We women believe that the civiliza- tion of any country can be measured by the attitude of its men towprds its women.
 The average North American man gives his women respect and equality and above all the right to work outside her home if she so desires.
 In Los Angeles I've been interested to meet and talk with women who run fig farms and fruit groves, who own printing businesses and photographers studios-and a husband and children besides.
 Can women do that in Italy, in France, in Spain, or even in England? :? Does not a commercial people hoard it's money? We have given in millions for the Japanese earthquake sufferers, the Russian refugees, and the recon struction of French villages.
 Is culture too young. h our raw coun- tries to produce literature, painting and sculpture?

 Now she turned back to her little room, closed the door and switched on the light. The evening paper had been left here by De Lisle. She would try to read and quiet her nerves.
 But she could not concentrate on the printed page. The music and thel sound of dancing feet made this dfnp0sI sible.
