She had never seen her mother SO
upset as she was over this break
with Raymond.
Amanda was usually tractable

Amanda was worried.
Whats Raymond Hollandsbee
going to think Of all the time you're
spending with this new fellow?"
1t was the morning after Eric had
confessed his love. Nancy, lying II

ments, frowned.

cried, defensively.
She had not told her mother that
Eric had been born in woodruff
ter's shanty. From the beginning
Nancy had mitigated this fact to
herself by insisting that he must
have come from a high-born fam
lily.
His father was probably a
younger son, forced to leave home
for some reason. There
were so many ways 1t might be
explained, but she knew Amanda
would never accept any of them.
1T thought everything was settled
between Raymond and you," she
complained. 81 couldn't stand it,
Nancy. if you should marry beneath
you"
Nancy flushed.
I'm not planning to marry any,
one just yet, mother. But the girl

who she is"

"She did not. Other way round"

could?"

Amanda shook her head.

He would take it like that, Nancy
thought resentfully, watching him
leap into his car and drive rapidly
away. AS If he had been the one to
change.
A moment later Amanda cauti-
ously opened the kitchen door and
advanced into the dining room.
"Oh, Nancy, you've quarreled."

torted, tiercely.

In the living room Nancy pressed
her flushed face against the cold
ness of the window pane. Only the
touch Of Eric's arms could make her
happy again. His kiss could heal the
discomfort the sight of Raymond
had caused.
She longed for him as II he were
an opiate which was necessary To
relieve her pain. And she listened
until her head ached for the sound
of the telephone.
But Eric neither called nor came
After miserable, lonely evening
she went to bed.
She was surprised the next
morning to see Amanda don her silk
dress and prepare to go up town

Chimpanzees SloU to
Pick Up Human Speech

A chimpanzee might be taught TO
talk with its fingers, as deaf people
talk, more easily than it could be
taught to initiate sounds of human
speech, In the opinion of DR.. Robert
NJ. Yerks and Margaret s. Child OF
the Institute of Psychology at Yale
university. Several scientists who OBJ
served and studied higher apes have
tried to teach them to say words, but
without much success, these psychol-
ogists state in reporting in the Quar-
terly Review of Biology what Is now
known about anthropoid behavior.
Perhaps the chief reason for the
apes failure to develop speech is the
absence of a tendency to initiate
sounds" Doctor Yerkes explains.
Seeing strongly stimulates to tmita.
ton, but hearing seems to have no
such effect" He believes that the
sounds made by apes are not language,
but are primarily emotional express
siOns, which are not learned by imita-
ton.

there started on a novel, l would be-
gin work on it every Saturday after
noon at one and work like mad until
midnight. Then 1 would work at it
from six Sunday morning until six
Sunday night, when 1 had to report
back to barracks.

TODAY-At the age of thirty-one,
when others are just starting out to
make their way, Fitzgerald is already
famous author, commanding both the
attention of the public and substan-
tial checks from the publishers
When This Side of Paradise was
published it became the leading novel
of the time almost Immediately, and
the future of the young writer was
assured.
1t might be no exaggeration to say
that Fitzgerald started the "fiapper"

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
THE BEAUTY SHOW

EOR the first beauty show, the orig
l. inal ancestor Of that now popular
modern institution, we must go to the
pages of Greek mythology and the
award which caused the Trojan war !!
D 1t all started when Eris, the God
dess of Discord, enraged at not being
invited to a certain wedding, threw
among the guests a golden apple
marked "For the most beautiful"
Juno, Venus and Minerva each made
claim, and Jupiter, who was expected
to make the decision wisely passed
the buck to Paris, the beautiful shep-
herd.
All three goddesses went to Paris,
on Mount Ida, where he tended his
fiocks. Juno promised him power and
riches, Minerva glory and renown in
war, and Venus the fairest of women
for his wife. 1t was Venus who got
the golden apple, and, under her pro-
lection, Paris went to Greece as the
guest of Menelaus, king Of Sparta. 1t
was Helen, the wife of Menelaus,
whom Venus had destined for Paris.
And now Paris, aided by Venus per-
suaded her to elope with him, and so
started the Trojan war, the subject of
the greatest poems of antiquity.
Speaking Of modern beauty shows,
the one held at Spa, Belgium, in Sep
TENDER, 1888, appears to have been the
first. There were three hundred ap-
plications, we learn, and French girl
took the prize.

Everyone congratulated Billy Goat
upon his song which was quite orig
inal one The words, everyone said,
were a little better than the music,
but it was all good, all good, they
said.
And Billy Goat was delighted with
the praise. In fact so delighted was
he that he said he had another he'd
sing, though he'd have to think lit
tie about it.
While he was thinking, though, he
was talking about 1t.
You see," he said, 81 heard one Of
the young ladies talking the other
day, and it seemed she had gone to
town dressed in all her old clothes
because it had been rainy day when
she had started.
"Yes, she had on an old hat, and
old shoes and rubbers, and an old
skirt and coat. And no sooner had
out and there was she on this most
beautiful day feeling so like an old
rainy day.
So this is the song I'm making up
about that:
There's nothing sadder in this world
Than to have the sun come out
When you're dressed in all your old
clothes
Because you were in doubt.
"Of course" said Billy Goat, "she

wear her good ones because she had
seen little blue sky in one corner of
the sky but she had been afraid that
it would rain"
1--WE see, we see; fine verse, Billy
Goat. We shall have to name you
the Poet of the Barnyard. Truly that
would be an honor and one that you
deserve" the other animals said.
So when the creatures all came to
the Barnyard Reunion Billy Goat or
Sir William Goat, the Gentleman, was
also called 1.-THE Barnyard Poet"
Yes, everyone was on hand, or per-
haps one should say on foot, for the
reunion. Porky Pig and Mrs. Duck
helped to entertain.

owl sent word he was sleeping or he'd
come. (They hadn't asked him so

brave came along, so did SHARPLY
Squirrel, Running Rabbit, Mrs. Blue
Jay, and all of the ducks and pigeons
and hens and ROSTERS and pigs and
geese and turkeys.
In fact it was a splendid reunion
and there was excellent food, though
of course the Pig family forgot about
entertaining any but themselves when
the food came along!
But there was enough to go around.
The Geese weren't quite as polite
as they should have been, of course,
but taking it all in all it was a spIen-
