RI AREFULLY, with constant
repetition, and with infinite
detail, Joanna completed her
story. When she had finished
she was flushed, excited. cry
ing again. She'd rubbed her
lips with the back of her hand
so much, in her nervousness, that
the scarlet was blotchy, and the
tears had played havoc with her
eye lashes. She sank down in
chair and finished with a pose that
she instantly recognized as a good
one, and one she'd remember for
some future occasion--arms
stretched down beside her and palms
turned out with fingers spread.
Now that's my story for you to
stick to, and what do you know
about it,"
Mrs. Adams didn't know what we
know about It, When Joanna came
to the million dollars the landlady
patted her hair and tucked in a gray
wisp that hung down behind; but
when the girl came to the end she
was silent, motionless, and she kept
her hands folded in her lap.
Joanna went over and kissed her
on the top Of her head, lightly She
didn't respond to that, which, Jo-
anna understood. 1t was a lot of
news that had been thrown at her.
Now I'm going upstairs and try
to cry" said Joanna, gathering her
new coat. on her arm. And If /
can't cry I'm going to laugh. II /
can't do that either I'll try standing
on my head and see IL 1 can figure
things out that way" She didn't
notice a sad little shake of the head
which the landlady sent her way.
She turned to the door but
stopped, and opened her bag. She
selected the crispest of the $500
notes, went over to the gray-haired
Mrs. Adams, showed her the size of
it and then crumpled 1t in the old
lady's toll worn fingers. Mrs.
Adams, with wet, troubled eyes,
looked into the girls face, and
would have said something, but Jo-
anna stopped her by putting a hand
over her mouth.
Just keep the lid on the don't
want to take it. stuff" she said. II
know you couldn't think Of accept
ing it, and it isn't coming to you,
and 1 only owe you for two weeks
but I've got to give something to
somebody, haven't II"
She was going out the door when
she stopped again. and turned
around. Mrs. Adams still was look
ing at her DULY. She struck a
pose that, she concluded, was par
ticularly appropriate for the fran
ing of q doorway-body leaning
against one side of the door frame,
hand stretched across to the other,
and her chin turned across a
shoulder into the room:
There's one thing you can do,
Mrs. Landlady-mine," she said;
You can hold in the news till get
ready to spread it, and you can keep
your other flappers out Of the draw
ing room only for tonight, because
my Johns coming around on his
regular date and when he gets here
I'll need the whole darn room for
lot of heavy stuff"

In the Drawing Room Only

In the Drawing Room Only
EV7 HILE the limousine moved
W alone in the endless process
sion of it's kind. out of the
neighborhood of the little furrier
whose experience of life In his own
field had taught him that "furs for
maids inevitably meant rich
gentlemen" and into the beautiful
shopping avenue where the dreams
of women find reflection in the store
windows, Joanna fought valiantly to
assemble her wits and her under
standing.
She tried to plan-and couldn't
Her brain, always in tune with
events Of the moment, things that
went on around her, was unac
customed to the burden of anything
that had to do with tomorrow, or
any deeper problem than the dis
covery of some new zest for today
Once John-funny old John, who had
loved her for such a long time
had taken her by the shoulders,
swung her around, put his hand I'M
that she had to look up into his
face, and had said
"Will you really marry me,
Joanna?"
And she had said, "Surer'
What else was there to say? What
else to thing about? Ready any time
he was. But John asked her, then:
what sort of wife will you be
to me, Joanna? And do you think
I'll be the kind of husband you real
ly want?"
And that was Johns old-fashioned
way missing thing up. AS to
what sort of wife she'd be, how
could she explain? She knew, deep
down inside of her, that she'd be a
darned good one to him, but she
hadn't been spending her time think
ing up ways to explain why! Small
chance! The wives she knew were
the kind that men who weren't
their husbands were always buying
red roses for. She had tried to
wonder, once, why men bought red
roses for other mems wives, but she
had given it up. She knew why
these other mems wives drank more
out Of other mems hip pocket TASKS
than they did out of their husband s.
but she couldn't have put that into
words, either. And she knew, too,
that these wives, whom she met at
dancing places, at the cheaper and
gaudier cabarets to which her boys
could afford to take her, and at &C.
casional beach parties in the summer
time, were not the kind she'd be to
John. But how In the dew the
deuce! could she get all that into
common sense words? So all she
could say to John, that time, was:
Jaw, you give me a pain! You
take what you get, and I'll take
what I get, and whoever kicks first
can take the CATER
Which made John say a thing or
two she didn't like and quarrel
was the outcome and so that was
that. She knew, perfectly well
what she'd do with fifty dollars all
at one time. With ten thousand
dollars she was like a schooner at
sea with the masts broken down.
With one million dollars-her head
ached. Joanna wasn't very good at
figuring things out!

 The Trade Shop deserves a great deal of credit for getting together such a band of rooters and to think that the rooters stayed loyal even though last nights defeat was the third straight at the hands of the Flatware men who played the game of their lives last night.

VILLA IS SECOND
 CHAMPION 10 DIE

 That Of Stanley KetChell

New York, July Is Pt-Modern rugiistic history today recorded the passing of Rancho Villa in Cali. tornta as the second death of a worlds champion at the height of meteorIc career. His name was entered opposite that of the great mlddIeweight Stanley Kctchel, the only other titleholder to be counted out for all time while still a cham pion,
 Villa had come 10 New York only ihreo years ago, a tistic whirlwind that carried everything before 1t in a sensational sweep through the ranks of the little fighting men. And with tic same unexpected plunge he went out ycstcrday.
 Four championships have been crowded into the career of the broWn-skinne1 24-ycar-old boxer since h. was lured into tho roped square six years ago in his native land. tho Philippine Islands Frank Churchill American promoter dis covered him thorC. After Villa had reached out 10 take both the ny- weight and bantam titles in the Or i'nt, Churchill decided 10 bring his protogc to America. Within a year and a half after his arrival here, Villa had captured both the Ameri- can and the Worlds championships at liz pounds.
 The little Filipino. whose correct name is Francisco Gullodo, quickly won his first two bouts in this coun- try in the summer of 1929, defeating Johnny Ilepburn and Sammy Cohen. He then faced the boxer who was destined to become q thorn in his Nide during the remainder of his career. Frankie Goniro. New York boy, handed Villa his first and one of fine few deteats of his ring experience in 10 lightning fast rounds.
 Roth boys were recognized in that contest as championship contonders, but Villa was the first 10 receive 4 title bout opportunity. On September Il, 1922, he met and defeated the American champion, Johnny Ruff oC Jersey City, hy q technical knockout in the llth round

 Villas appearances in the ring be- came moro infrequent after the croWning success Of his American campaign. At the height of his career he temporarily hung up his gloves to become benedict in the Philip pines Last week he became a father.
