SAN ANTONIO NOTED
FOR FRIENDLINESS

After riding through parched, in
hospitable, treeless country, it is
tonically refreshing to approach San
Antonio, the largest city Of the largest
state in the Union, with its wealth of
cool-looking grcenery.
The tall buildings and church spires
seem to rise from a veritable forest.
You feel friendly before you step
from the train.
Before you have spent an hour driv-
ing through its streets and parks and
gardens and polo grounds and munich
pal golf course and elaborate zoo and
the winding San Antonio river--yes,
you drive through it too at several
points-you begin to love the place.
One of your first impressions is
that there the people believe in living,
in pursuit of happiness.-B. G. Forbes,
financial writer, Hearst publications.

SOUND BANKS

GIANTS
S. A. Institutions Hold
Texas Record for
Security.

San Antonio is one of the financial
giants of the Southwest. Her bank
clearinss have tripled since 1912.
There has not been a bank failure in
many years, a record not touched by
any big Texas city.
A big future for San Antonio bank
ing institutions is ahead with rapid
development of the richest trade terri
tory in the world under way. Can
you imagine the banks of 10 to 90
years hence? If clcarings have tripled
during the last 10 to Is years with
San Antonio in her infancy what will
they do when the city reaches the peak
OF development. say when she is near
ing the 100000 population mark in
1850.

Some of these accessories are neces-

adornments, as costume Njewelry,

spring new changes and develop in

CHAPTER v


Duane'S plaintive announcement at
the hospitable door of the Harmer
home found echo in a soft peal of SYM
pathetic laughter from within, and she
came herself to receive him, Prudence,
both hands outstretched in welcome.
"I'm Prudence" she said. II am
Jerry's mother. Come right in, won't
you? 1t was just like my husband to
send you to me in some such crazy
fashion,"
Duane felt pleasant, curious quiet
come over him as he looked at her.
Prudence! Jerry had thought it was
falling in love like-Prudence. Jerrold
had sent him in triumph to-Prudence.
This was Prudence.
In spite of the extreme slenderness of
her figure, in spite of the delicate
pallor of her creamy skin and the
faint suggestion of silver in the soft
brown hair, there was nothing of frailty
about her, rather a sort of youthful,
undying buoyancy. Duane loved the
humorous droop of her sensitive lips,
the humorous light of interest in her
bright eyes.
Prudence laughed, holding his hand
companionably in hers, as she drew
him into the wide lovely room, where
she motioned him lightly to an easy
chair, and then tucked herself cozily
into one corner of another, far too
wide for her, leaning comfortably over

see what we can scare up. But the
first thing for you to do is to go right

Jerrold sent boy from the shop to
take him to the house in one of the
cars, and Duane found himself stand
ing on the wide veranda of the great
white house, shadowy beneath great
branching naples with leaves family
turning to gold at the edges, before he
realized that he had no idea under
heaven as to whom he had come there
to see.
"See Prudence" Jerrold had told
him, with vast RELIEF.
"In love like Prudence" Jerry had
said on that memorable night in Car

She could have wept aloud over him,
and yet she liked him. Prudence, with
the rigid training of her Methodist an

never took dislike to any human be-

personal aversion. But when she liked
it was with quick unerring instinct

ZONE are the days when the chief
- concern of lingerie was daintiness,
accomplished by means of fine fabrics
and painstaking needle work. Interest
now centers in styles which are varied
and everchanging, rejecting the in
novations brought into outer apparel,
and in colors and color combinations,
which are even more varied. Dainti-
ness goes without saying-it Is taken
care of by the use of very sheer and
lightweight materials, laces and lacy
fabrics. These range, in silk, from
georgette to crepe satin. and in cotton,
from voile to lustrous, silky sateen, all

Jerry Calls for Help

Jerrold returned to his home that
night in an unEaturally depressed and
embittered frame Of mind. Why
should he, he demanded of Prudence
in stern voice, be saddled with a
protege like that-as big as himself,
and who by his own admission knew
nothing of motor cars beyond the steer
ing wheel Prudence agreed with him
that 1t was perfectly reprehensible on
the part of their daughter, and she
couldn't Imagine what things were
coming to with this new generation
She balanced herself on the edge of
the bathtub while he was shaving,
followed him meekly into the room
they shared together and stood pa
thetically beside him at the dressing
table while he viciously jerked fresh
tie into place.
TITS the way you've raised her." he
said in tone that cleared himself of
