EFORE Jennie was stirring
X the next morning Chickie
III stole from bed. She felt a
shakiness all through her as though
each nerve vibrated with its sepa-
rate fear. She pinned a note on the
kitchen stove:
Jennie, darling, / forgot to tell
you that your angel child Is having
breakfast on the shore. It's all
the rage. Give Jonathan ten kisses
and my share of bacon"
She went softly down the gravel
path, rushed along one moment by
her tormented anxiety; held back
by a shrinking reluctance.
When she saw him through the
willows, sitting in the boat motion

Then he set the coffee on to sim

When the bacon wreathed with
pungent fragrance about them and
he had succeeded in frying two of
the eggs without getting them black
or sooty he took a wooden plate and
offered them to Chickie. He made
her look at him, his eyes humble
and pleading: "Chickie, are you
angry with me? Do you want never
to see me again."
You hurt me so. oh. terri
bly,"
1T know, I'm sorry. Don't hold
1t against me-"
Her laugh broke forth, happy as
the breeze: Il knew you didn't
mean it. Why, Barry. l was sure Of
that"
He lapsed into moodiness, breath
ing heavily. She pushed a little
mound of sand toward him: why
are you looking so black?'
I'm not so sure about things.
Chickie-about anything I don't
know how you feel. but this seems
CHASTITY to me-putting everything
In the future. Letting others tell
us how we should feel and when.
One way you look at 1t it's sordid.
It's making a slave OF yourself. It's

are nothing OF the sort! It's making

Another big "spinsterhood"

Another big "Spinsterhood"
surprise.
For more than a week you
have been reading the great
newspaper serial "Spinster-
hood" which centers around
a girl who chooses spinster-
hood in preference to love and
marriage in the hope Of win
ming fame for herself in the
newspaper world.
And now comes the Spin
sterhood" song, inspired by
the central theme of the
story.
"No Spinsterhood for. Me"
is the title of the new melody,
which is a unique musical
novelty.
By changing the tempo of
the music it can be adapted to
three different styles of
dances. It's a sparkling,
jazzy fox trot when played in
the normal fox trot time.
But the music also can be
played for dancing the old
time steps, now being revived
throughout the country by
Henry Ford and others.
By playing "No Spinster-
hood for Me" in slower time,
the old-fashioned two step can
be danced to it, while a live
lier tempo (set the metro
nome at 1907 makes it ideal
for the famous polka of years
ago,
No music published in recent
years has had such a wide
range of dance adaptation.

ADOPTION PLANS
NOT CARRIED OUT
Alaskan Not to Be Permitted TO
Take Child

San francisco. Nov. 80 Up -
John Warren McCord, Alaskan
mining man and promoter who last
Friday announced his intention to
adopt Victoria Dcschamps, 10 year
old girl OF Nlissoula, Montana. now
attending high school here, stands
little chance Of seeing his inten-
lions fulfilled,
A chance acquaintance with Vic
toria last August in Portland, Ore
gon, led McCord to take a great
fancy to the child. Two sisters Of
Victoria, with whom she lives here,
previously had consented to the
adoption plan, but yesterday with
drew their approval with the
statement that too much of a sen.
sation now surrounded tho intend
ed adoption"
Another barrier arose in Missou-
la, where Nictoria's father, Tony
Deschamps, prominent rancher, in.
dicated that McCords quest to
adopt the young girl would prove
fruitless.
McCord renewed tho acquain-
lance with Victoria last week and
took such a liking to her that he
made known his desire to adopt
her, send her to an exclusive fin
lshing school and take her to
Alaska next spring.
Saturday, however. police and
juvenile authorities questioned Nc
Cord regarding the adoption and
after this intervention Victoria's
sisters withdrew their approval.
