TT was one of those extraordinarily
cold days that come every so
often. To Anita. hurrying home
i from the greenhouses. where she
had been making real apple.blos-
som festoons for the Halroy FitZ we'd
ding, the chill seemed to penetrate
to her very marrow.
Even the thought of the party. the
Harvest Moon party. to be held in her
studio that evening. hardly warmed
her heart. Two months ago she re-
called worse night than this one
cold, rainy. That had been the hard
times party, and she had been as jolly
as could be that evening. But of
course that was before Feline had APP
peared on the scene to spoil every
thing for Anita.
Anita had been engaged to Luke
ever since they had bten together in
the art class at the institute. But
marriage had to be put off until finan-
cial outlooks were more cheerful, and
so the engagement days had been pro-
tracted longer than they had expected.
Then, during the last six weeks,
Feline had come from the southern
part of the State, and having once met
a member of the club, was invited
TO a party. All of this was turning
itself over and over in Anita's mind
as she unlocked the door of the
steam-heated studio-apartment.
Feline was not only a college grad
uate (Which Anita was not, but was
by her own admission n crackerjack

the workings of the mind. She be.
heved that if a person could master
his own mind sufficiently, there were
no limits to his success.
You can get any place if you Just
know how to use your mind" Feline
was wont to, say.
And Feline herself seemed to be an
excellent example of her own theories.
for she was drawing a salary of more
than three hundred a month, while
Anita's income ran around one hun
dred-when she was lucky enough
TO have work every day. And work
for Anita came when a month held
many weddings in the social calendar.
Anita used her art education in max
ing decorations.
She had scarcely finished her light
supper and flung herself into her
party frock when she heard a ring at
the doorbell. Putting out every light
except the one that illuminated the
great harvest moon at the end of her
studio, she opened the door. Many
were the comments about her decora.
tons. Anita smiled at this, for save
the great round globe Stimulating the
moon nothing could be seen in the
darkness. But light, if well placed.
she decided, could be a decoration in
itself.
AS soon as every one had arrived
she turned on the other lights

THE EVENING STORY

And indeed it was. for the whole
room was banked with masses of

But Feline could say no more. Her
eyes were the sources of small

You have hayfever?" asked Luke

Feline nodded, unable to do more.

And so Feline had to leave the

Luke took her home, promising to
return at once. He did. too. In an
incredibly short time, but to the girl
who was engaged to him the time
dragged Unfortunately. She could
imagine them riding In the taxi which
Luke had called. He had taken Anita
in one only a few times on gala occa-
sions. She knew that to take girl
by trolley with her eyes streaming at
this time of year when hayfever was
not about would look silly. Worse. 1t
might seem that there had been some
horrible scene and that she was
weeping.
But Luke came back again and the
party which had been going along
smoothly came to happy ending

Stephenson Never Knew

Perhaps Stephenson knows why
he elected to light in Evansville
when he emerged from Texas
draped with rumors of wealth
gained in oil, but no one else does.
Maybe he thought the town
looked easy, as it turned out to be.
He fooled it anyway, first with
his schemes to lease coal land, and
afterward with his bed sheet gospel,
but first he fooled himself.
Like many another man who has
waded into the nire beyond his
depth, Stephenson turns out to be
his own worse dupe.
He had no conception Of where
he was going when he went down
to Atlanta to line up the Khan for
Mayor Ben Bose; no conception of
where he was going when he came
back with credentials as its north
ern apostle; no conception of where
he was going when he started out
to make himself a political boss
through graft and intimidation; no
conception Of where he was going
when he staged the drunken party
which resulted in Madge Ober-
holtzer's death; no conception of
where he was going when he under
took to trade his secrets for a par
don or promise of pardon after be-
ing convicted; and now that he has
decided to take the lid off and shoot
the works, no matter who it hurts,
ne still has no conception of where
he is going.

Movements, even Of most moral
and altrustic nature, are somewhat
dependent on the opportunities they
offer.
People are invariably looking for
a chance to make money or to strut.
