read a most impressive title. It was Founder General-President-a or something equally as inclusive. The idea that title intended to convey was that she was the whole works. And she was.
 Whenever there was 8 very serious big gathering on something very inn portant among business men, she wrote to ask if women would be allowed to attend. We'll. that stationery, the i'm plication it carried that the women of the whole world were backing the thing, the Gould name at the masthead all of these combined to create a deep impression. In nearly every case a short correspondence resulted in an invitation. and at one annual banquet after another of the greatest commer- cial organizations in this country Mrs. Gould was one of the chief speakers. , Dressed in a pale grey gown and wearing 8 pink rose hat, apmed with press photographs almost life size. ac- companied by well-written interviews, flanked by secretaries, she put it over in great style. The vaudeville stage is good training for banquet speaking.
 An Honorary Seven Times
 Mrs. Gould was always made an
 
 speech. By the time that season was over her card bore the names of no less than seven of the most important organizations of men in America to which she had been elected honorary member.
 That card worked magic in Europe. On the strength of it she appeared be- fore the chambers of commerce of half tA tAo ln s,, C is said, that she had mo members and no organization stationery and q name and Howard Gould's alimony.
 People wondered, when they saw her publicity in the London papers, if dainty Lady Decies (she was Vivien Gould. George Gould's daughter) would entertain her celebrated connection. But she didn't. London could almost hear her keeping still.
 And then there came what seemed to be Mrs. Gould's great opportunity. An important international convention of women was meeting in EuroTe. The United States was entitled to but ten delegates, but thanks to some snappy promotion letters sent out by tourist agency. the Americans arrived at that convention sixty strong, and Mrs. Gould was there with bells on.
 She claimed that the agency promised here if she would go with that party she would travel under the banner of a great American woman's organization, and that under this ban ner she would stand and shake hands with kings and queens and things. It was also strongly intimated in the circular letter sent out from New York that moving pictures would be taken of the tourists shaking hands with the kings and queens, and that these same pictures would be shown in due time back in their own home towns.
 "Cabbages and Kings"
 And. considering all of these ad- vantages over ordinary touring, the price of the trip after all was not so exorbitant-I say considering these ad- vantages. for after all one doesn't get ones picture taken shaking hands with a king every day.
 But the agent who sold those tickets reckonede without Mrs. Gould. She knew first class from third class, was no greenhorn on foreign travel and she knew what visas cost. The party landed in Italy and by the time they got to their destination they weren't exactly like one loving family.

The Classified" solici- tor went into the office of Harvey Robb, president of the Northern Auto and Tractor School to have him renew his contract.
 To his surprise, MT. Robb offered him a chair and 8 cigar.
 "Yes, I'll sign up again and let's see-I'll take a lit tie more lineage and a little more display, white space, you call it. Now that will cost me-"
 And while they were fix ing up the copy and discuss ing terms, the solicitor wondered what had hap pened. He had had all he could do to sell Robb on that other contract.
 "Lots of student?" he asked when they had fin ished the business part of their interview.
 "Yes, they are coming in fine. Got all now we can take care of, so I'm going to enlarge my plant"
 It was obvious he had something on his mind and finally it came out,
 "You know, I had a theory that the catalogues we sent out and your old students brought in most of our new students - that was why I wasn't so keen before on signing a contract with you for running our announcement. But I began checking up a bit, that is asking the students how they happened to come here and so forth.
 Well, to go back a bit. We had a man here by the

 ''GOOdE" exclaimed the solicitor.
 Then there was a young chap in here the other day, dropped Tn from up-sszts to see me He had taken cur course in maOS0r mechanics and gone hack to the farm Told me the money he had saved by being able tO 0vsr- haul and operate their own cars, tractors and gas en- zines was helping to wipe out the mortgage.
 "I asked about the feEIow who came here with him, his buddy. 1t seems the most he had ever earned was $60 a month running a delivery truck for some concern in his hczne town Now he is earning $200 a mOnth-ggts 30 cents an hour and works F hourx. running 8 tractor on the roads. Said the first thing he found when he went on the job was that the grader man didn't know how t0 time the msgnetO on the en- zine Once he cTznked it all day and didn't get it started until 6 o'clock that night Our man timed it in a few minutes and after that if nsygr had to be crznked- He has saved up enough money now to take an engineering course in college

 What he was trying to do was make a bearing metal, self-lubricating or nearly so, that wouldn't burn out-hotter it gets the more it lubricates itself, good for both autos and tractors. You know chem ists have agreed for ages that the ideal bearing metal

And the end of it? :. She was seated in the Bristol Hotel in Christiana, Norway. She declared flatly she was going to bring suit for breach of contract as soon as she could get back to America.
 "So they broke their contract with you. did they?' The question was ask ed just to make conversation.
 She grew dramatic, almost tragic. Did they break their contract with mel" she cried scornfully. Well, I should say they did. They told me if I'd pay the price for this trip that I'd meet the kings of Europe, and I haven't met king-not a damn king!"

Rugs, easy chairs, flowers of every variety and hue combined to give the porch the charm of fairyland, and a true setting for the beautifully gowned women.
 The receiving line was composed of Mrs. Charles Henderson, president of the auxiliary; Mrs. V. G, Lowery, hon oree, and Mrs. Knox Henderson, presi- dent of the guild.
 Punch was served from an artisti- cally arranged table by Mrs. Shelby Sanders, Mrs. Josh Couch, Misses Liz zie Jones and Rosela Peek, assisted by the following girls; Ruth and Dorothy Lowery, Anna Holt Smith, Grace Lee Minchener and Helen Seals.
 Cream and cake were served by Mes danes W. T. Adams, T. V. Ballard, J, B. Leslie, Eugene Cunningham. W. H. Minchener. B. R. Rives, Clyde Whet- stone and others.
