Diana said, defensively.
Too late she saw the devastating

Diana found Mrs. Burton's tele-

obviously delighted with the pros

"BleSs your heart, Diana. How
are you? And how is your huS-

"Just fine!"
1t had not occurred to Diana
that her explanations to Mrs. Bur-

found she could not breach the
delicate matter of a room over the
telephone.
"I thought I'd run over and see
you this afternoon, Mrs. Burton, if
you aren't too busy. :"
Never too busy to see you, dear

reminded Diana of her mother, and

In spite of her rebellion Diana
knew that she would have been ter
rif1ed if she had been left to face
San Francisco absolutely alone. Her
entire life had been spent in the
SecluSion of a town where she was
Well-knoWn.
There were many things about
the city which frightened her. She
had not forgotten Arthur'S story
of the woman screaming in the
night. Nor his smile of the
"sheathed claw"
She had felt San Franchises

must be terrible to face its other
possibilities alone. She preferred
having some one safe to return to.
She decided to go to Seton's
School of Acting first. In case Mrs.
Burton did object it would be too
late to influence her. 1t proved a
wise move, for the lady in question
objected with a fervor worthy OF
Elizabeth herself. -.

Vivian looked more disturbed than
before.

ously. "Of course, I wanted to see
you. And I'll think of something.

There was something so n1yster-

any man might lose his head over

"Of course! Look in my closet!"
She flung open the door, expos
ing rows of gowns which were crea-
tions. On a shelf were more than
a dozen pair of shoes.
Vivian led her to the dressing
table and took out a good-sized
leather box. She unlocked it to
show Diana a glittering collection
of jewels. rings, pins, bracelets.
Diana was dazzled, but a dull sense
of shame yelled her eyes.

slowly.
There was false brightness in
Vivian's voice.
Aren't they? I have had some
wonderful friends. There is no lint

for you -"
Diana dared not reply. If this
was Vivian'S story she would show
no sign of being shocked with it.
But she felt as if the silken, per-
fumed atmosphere were suddenly
suffocating her. She wanted a
breath of fresh air. 1t was too late.

ting the smooth hair.

TELLS
 PRESIDENTS PLANS
"Cooidge 192S-1929" Found in
 Prophetic Weaving

Washington, Dec. 16 Rl-A knit bedspread, product of the skillful hands of Mrs. Coolidge, has been revealed as a mute prophecy that President Coolidge will leave the White House in 1929.
 The spread was finished by Mrs. | Coolidge almost a year ago, several months before her husband an nounced in the Dakota Black Hills that he did not "ehoosc to run" in 1928. It bears in the center the coat of arms of the United States, with corresponding decorative pieces lin the four corners, but the pro- phetic weaving is found in the side pieces.
 On one side is knitted the name Lincoln, and the dates 1S6l-1SG5. On the other is Calvin Coolidge, 1923-1929.
 Just as the patchwork quilt left in the summer lodge in the Black Hills will remind those who pass that way of the handiwork of the presidents wife, so will the hllet knit spread remain in the White House.
