or less did not matter. This was her party
and she was out to enjoy it. Carolyn sat
down. 1t was too awkward to try to reach
the door through this dancing jam. Better
to wait trying to look as If she were
amused at a frOlic.
But though it was so crowded certain
couples, certain individuals seemed to be
always bObbing uD before CarOlyn'S eyes
julie Davies was with Lauren Bennett now,
and from her dancing Carolyn judged she
must have had more than a drink or two.
Carolyn felt that all these people were in
another world. IL was impossible while you
were reasonable and while your mind
worked clearly to bridge the gap between
her world and theirs.
julie saw her and, passing, leaned down.
She spoke in her sharp, high, excited voice,
/ intent on making her bon mot, and getting
/ her laugh, ObliviOus to everything but the
prick of a smart idea.
! "Still unkissed and sober, Carrier"
The flicker of a smile came in Lauren's
eyes, then died down. But Carolyn did not
| see it die. They had swirled away, and she
was pushing her way around the edge of
| the crowd, fury in her mind.
| If she had stopped tC see herself in the
mirror, she would have known how much
anger improved her lOoks-hOw the sugges-
tiOn of tonelessness disappeared. Mr.. Myrr,
meeting her in the hallway, stopped her to
tell her how well she was looking and how
much he thought Of her father. But Carolyn
hardly heard him. She passed him with def
initely directed hatred.
The cOlOred woman no longer bothered
her. Why should she care for a cOlOTed
attendant when this was her last dance
when never, never would she be caught out
of her role again? She swung her cape
around her and scribbled a line to be given
to Mrs. Allardyce. A moment later she was
out Of the house in the black sOftness OF
the night, which gave her shelter so much
more than the house Of hospitality. At the
corner she found vacant taxicab and wen
home in that. AS the cab passed lighted
corners stray lOafers or wanderers had
glimpse of a beautiful girl in a whit,
furred cloak sitting romantically alone il
the corner and, possibly, speculated on he
rendezvous.
The rendezvous was bed. Carolyn un
dressed quickly, hanging her evening
clothes far back in her wardrobe unde
their dress covers, putting her slipper
distastefully in their cases and out of sight
Out of sight with everything that hat
helped to make her evening so sickening
Out of sight and out of mind she hoped
as she laid out the clothes she would wea
tomorrow. the green jersey dress and gra
suede OxfOrds. They looked so clean, thes
working clothes, so clean and happy.

THE PRODIGAL CAT
ENDS ITS ROWING

After an absence Of two years, during
which he apparently had been buffeted
about considerably, Tom, the erstwhile
family pet Of the home Of G. +. Blaich,
S1-year-Old Civil war veteran at Wolf
Point, came hack. A few days ago Mp.
Blaich was called TO the door by the
scratching and pIaintive meOws Of q
cat. Opening the door he was greeted
jOyOusIy by the big gray cat which had
not been home for more than tive years,
and whose appearance, betOlSened neglect
and hunger. The prOdigal had come back
for his fatted rat, or mouse, or saucer
of cream, but alas, during his wander
ings his place on the heaFthstOne had
been taken by a dapper yOUnA feline,
and the Blaiches don't know what they
are going to do with two cats.

cancellation. But there are others in
t<he administration who do not feel
that a prosperous Europe is particu-
larly the concern of the Washington
authorities and that an even higher
tariff wall is necessary to keep Eu-
rope from invading markets that
have been served by American pro-
ducerS.
The question OF war debts has al
ways been linked with the tariff is
sue. If the European countries are
unable to sell their goods to America
because Of the tariff wall. they will
not be able, in the Judgment Of
some of the leading economists of
Europe, to pay even the sum pledged
under the existing agreements. There
are some economists on this side of
the water who believe that the
damage to the American producer by
reducing the tariff would be much
greater than the annual payments on
the war debts, and that any attempt
to accelerate Europe's return 10

spending advantages to the American
exporter.

bill to increase pensions of Spans
War veterans and their dependen'
nearly $19,000,000 annually.
At the same time, in formi
statement, he said his approval va
not to be taken "as an encourags

warning that it might be necesSarI
to increase taxes if government
expenditures are greatly increased.
The President waited until late .
the last day on which under law D
could act on the measure. He mad'
it clear that he had delayed his DE-
cision solely on account of the gov
eminent financing involved.
Although he had been of the opln-

Home Training in
Washington Address

Washington, May 1.-(P)-There is
no substitute, in the opinion OF
President Coolidge, for the in
fiuences of the home and religion.
Addressing the National Council
of the Boy Scouts of America here
tonight. he said the Boy Scout
movement can never be a success
as a substitute but only as an ally
of strict parental control and family
life under religious influences" -.
Parents cannot shift their re-
sponsibility," he added. IF they
fail to exercise proper control, no.
body else can do 1t for them"
Reminding his audience that much
talk is heard of the decline in the
influence of religion, of the loosening
OF the home ties, of the lack of
discipline-all tending to break
down reverence and respect for the
laws of God and of man." the Presi-
dent continued:
Such thought as I have been able
to give to the subject and such OBJ
servations as have come within my
experience have convinced me that
there is no substitute for the in
fiuences of the home and of religion.
