BARBARA THAT MRS. STACY is
ID INTERESTED IN BRUCES ENTERPRISE

Barbara went back for her gloves.
Mrs. Stacy was standing by the
piano VIXEN she returned, adjusting
the photograph that had fallen over.

She walked slowly into the lobby
and caught an elevator.
What's the matter, Barbara7"
asked Bob Jeffries, who was loung-
ing over an American Mercury when
she entered. He was alone In tho
office. Have you lost your last
friend?"
She shook her head at him and
walked away without answering.
Presently, Bob followed her. Look
here. Babs, is It last night that's
making you feel bad?"
Barbara stared out the window,
fighting to keep back the tears.
IT can't tell you how sorry I am
about IL all, for IL seems to be most
ly my fault, Barbara. I'd give any
thing IL I had turned the Badger
down and taken you. instead or

her and, getting no answer. went
on. HE was doing 40 well 1 thought
the evening was a success. Then I
saw him sitting alone and guzzling
champagne from n big bottle.
II couldn't get away long enough
from my sour lady to stop him, and
you were nowhere In sight. I guess
that's why he started drinking-you
deserted him for Jerome Ball"
Barbara's patience gave way. "oh
stop. Bob" she cried. I'm not blam-
ing anybody. Everything's all wrong
that's all. It was terrible last night,
and I'll go to such a party
again. But you couldn't help IT,"
She was crying Fundamentally
now. Jeffries gave her a bewildered
look, and walked away to the win

when Mrs. Stacy entered the room.
She came with a sweep of draperies
and a wave of delicate perfume.
What do you want me to talk
about?" she asked, settling herself
on a day bed near Barbar's chair.
REALLY, it's such a bore. the way

to anything from a news viewpoint.
She shrugged her shoulders. MANY

Barbara waited patiently. She had
heard this kind of prelude before.
When Mrs. Stacy had finished, she
said. but, of course, not everyone
who goes to Europe comes back with

The other woman smiled. She be-

It was half an hour later that
Barbara found a chance to ask,

There's a chance for some OF the
moneyed people in Indianapolis to

among the first, myself. I have that

May I say that in the story?"
asked Barbara, with her pencil

Mrs. Stacy frowned and leaned
back reflectively. mo. not Just yet,
I think. 1t all depends upon some
other developments. 1 may be ready
to make that announcement in a few
days. But I might change my

1t seemed to Barbara that her
hostess eyes dwelt upon a framed
picture that stood on the piano, with
its back toward the window.

and the Telegraph will jump into
this enterprise and give it all the
publicity you can. l may have a good
story for you soon. 1 want to see

toward the picture.

OF the room, trailing the Spanish
shawl after her.

the sun room door. Never mind,

The maid fled, knocking against
the piano as she went. Careless, !"

WORK FAVORS PARK
In SMOKY MOUNTAINS
Secretary Urges Purchase by Ten
nessee of $4,000 Acres as
First Step.

Secretary Work today telegraphed
State Senator Roy Wallace and State
Geologist Wilbur Nelson of Tennessee
that he strongly favored the pur-
chase by Tennessee of an s0,000-acre
tract as the first step toward .estab-
fishing a national park in the Smoky
Mountains of Tennessee and North
Carolina. The Senator is in charge of
bill pending in'the Tennessee Legis-
lature to effect the purchase.
Il am very anxious that the State
purchase the S0,00o-acre tract as the
first step to securing a patonal park
in the Smoky Mountains" the mes
sage stated. II hope nothing may
be permitted to delay this worthy
project so well started"
Secretary Works communication
was prompted by several inquiries in
GLIDING one from Gov. Peay OF Ten
nessee, to the effect that the Secre
tary had been misquoted by oppon
ents of the project who sought to
convey the impression that Mr.. Work
was not favorably disposed toward
the smoky park. Gov. Peay called
attention to supposed interviews"
with the Secretary representing the
latter as hostile" to the project.
The Secretary further explained in
kilograms that it has been contem-
plated that portion of the great
smoky area be purchased by the Fed
eral Government as forestry re-
serve. This, however, has been
abandoned through a recent public
announcement, to make way for its
conversion into a national park.
