THE WIDOWS MIGHT
BY HAZEL DEYO BATCHELOR

voted to Mrs. Churchill would be
worthless"
Elsie flushed prettily.
Putting 1t into words like that
makes 1t sound rather dreadful" she
said, slowly, but somehow just can't
like Mrs. Churchill. I've tried to like
her. and in thinking it over I've Won
dered If perhaps my feelings were
due to jealousy, but don't think it
Is that. OF course. most of the girls
at the inn hate her because they are
jealous, and In way you can't blame
them. Dicky Preston was devoted to
Elinor Ramsey before he met Fay,
and now he can't see any one else.
1t isn't as If Fay cared particularly
for him, either. because she doesn't.
She just likes to keep every man in
the place dangling at the end of her
chain. Jack is head over heels in
love with her, and know she doesn't
care bit more for him than she
does for any Of the others"
Elsie was hoping that Dean would
make some satisfactory reply. She
wanted him to corroborate what she
had said, to reassure her by agreeing
with her. She felt that she had not
gone too far in her arraignment of
Fay; everything she had said had
been justified. and when Dean did not
answer at once she asked a direct
question: What do you Think"
II hardly know Mrs. Churchill" /"
Dean replied. evasively.
you didn't before today" Elsie
persisted, but saving her life was a
fairly personal thing, wasn't it?"
Personal enough. II you want to
call 1t that, but for all that Mrs.
Churchill Is practically a stranger to
me. There's one thing certain, how
ever. she hasn't shown any desire to
dangle me on the end of her chain
III you showed any interest in her
she would. Elsie returned, quickly
and then regretted her words the next
moment and wished she hadn't
brought Fay's name into the CONVEX
sation.

CHAPTER XXXV.
Elsie and Dean.

Deans persistent silence on the way
home annoyed Elsie to the point of
fury, and yet she was helpless to do
anything about 1t. She could not
show her anger because with him she
had to play a careful role. She felt
intuitively that If he knew about her
temper he would be shocked and hor-
rified, for Elsie was not so sweet and
angelic as she seemed. In her RACES
she often did reckless things. Once. In
a Mt of anger, she had pulled the table
cover off the library table, breaking
d lamp and spilling the water out OF
bowl of flowers all over the ma
hogany table. She was usually
ashamed Of herself after everything
was over, but she never seemed to be
able to control her temper at the time.
And now when Dean was silent and
did not answer her question for some
moments, she felt a slow. hot rage
creeping up in her. This time, how
ever, she made an effort to keep cool,
and she forced a little laugh as she re-
peated her remark.
II don't believe you ever heard what
I said, Dean. A penny for your
thoughts. They certainly must be in
teresting."
They weren't worth penny" he
returned. shortly.
IF | wanted to be catty, I think
could guess what they were Elsie
said impulsively.
He turned To her then. his gray
eyes inscrutable. and she went on
quickly:
You We're thinking about Mrs.
Churchill"
Her desire was to force Dean into
the open, to make him express him
self definitely where Fay was con-
cerned. She had feeling that he
did not like her, and for that reason
she had felt that he was safe against
her Establishments. But the rescue,
followed by Deans preoccupation.
changed the looks of things and made
Elsie suddenly afraid.
A faint smile softened the stern
ness of his mouth

Snow White was very sad to hear
that their dear friend the bear was
going away and she could not under
stand what treasures he had to guard
from the dwarfS.
I'm the Winter" the bear said, my
treasures are safe, for then the dwarfs
are frozen into their dens, but when
the sun thaws the earth in the Spring
they break through, and what they
lay their hands on is rarely found.
l have many treasures in the forest,
and l do not wish them to be stolen" "
Then he said good bye to them all
and Snow White opened the door.
But she felt 50 sad over seeing him
go that she did not open it wide
enough, and the latch tore a piece of
fur from his heavy coat. Under
meath shone something bright and yel-
low like cloth of gold, Snow White
thought.
Rose Reds everyday dress is pur-
pie with cap and shoes to match.
Her apron and girdle should be left

NEW YORK, September 19.-The
strenuous forward movement in the

Writes Magazine Article.
Appearing in the current edition of
the Bankers Monthly is an interest
ing discourse on "a campaign that
rented boxes in our new safe de-
posit," prepared by Frederick p. H.
Siddons. manager of the new business
department of the American Security
and Trust Co.
The article gives new and detailed
information on this present acute
problem.
Average Costs Of Lights.
"The average American family
spends for electric light and power
service less than III cents of each
dollar of living expense" says M. H.
Aylesworth, managing director of
the National Electric Light Associa-
tion, In a summary of the years
work OF the association, recently
given In a report at the forty eighth
convention Of the National Electric
Light Association in San Francisco.
Notwithstanding this tiny expendi-
ture for electricity by the average
family, the aggregate gross income for
electric light and power In the United
States during the last year, Mr..
Aylesworth says, was one and one
half billion dollars. and yet this huge
sum is only 20 per cent of the total
investment Of the industry, which at
present Is conservatively estimated
at s7,000,000, 900.
Mr.. Aylesworth again points out
the notable fact that more than 95
per cent of all electric light and power
service of the United States is un-
der se-called private ownership
which accounts for the tremendous
development of the industry.
Regular Dividend Voted.
Directors of the American Security
and Trust Co. have declared the reg
ular quarterly dividend of per cent,
payable on October 10, the books

It is pointed out that the possibility
of Youngstown Sheet and Tube being

the company in a better position to

motor shares overshadowed all other
developments in today's brief, but ac'
tive session Of the stock market
which showed indications of increased
public participation. Total sales for
the two-hour session ran close to one

Spectators for the advance pointed
to reports of further improvement in
business and the absence of any sus,
tanned strain on the credit situation
as the basis for higher security prices.
The rapid marking of the CALI money
rate from 31s to per cent yesterday
