PUT SPANISH SPAS
In HANDS OF WOMEN

MADRID. Sept. IA notable
triumph for women is recorded IN
the list Just published of the
medical directors of Watering
places under the supervision OF tire
Government. For the first time
since it was established the De.
partment of Health of Spain has
nominated three women doctors TO
take charge of three importan
"cure" stations.
Doctor Eliza Soriano is to maf-
age the bathing establishment of
the Poryenir. Miranda; Doctor Lo-
reto Tapia that of La Margarta
of Loeches: and Doctor Soledad
Ruiz Capillas that of Arechavaleta
in the province of Guipuzcoa.
Hitherto Europe in general has
hesitated TO place its medicine,

men. But Spain has decided to
recognize that therein lies a wide
field for women doctors.
Spain is remarkably well sup
piled with mineral springs, of
which more than 1900 have beea
captured for medicinal purposes.

BLAMES FRENCH TAX
FOR BUILDING SLUMP

PARIS. Sept. 17.-"F Formidable
unemployment in France within
a year is foreseen by President
LARGER of the National Chamber
of Real Estate Agents.
LARGER SAYS over-taxation is

calls upon the Government to act
Immediately to avoid social

A tax of % per cent is levied
on real estate transfers. This,
he says, has proved to be a fatal
mistake. He shows that the
Government is receiving less and

French Musicians Object
To American Jazz Bows

PARIS. Sept. II. American
college boys who jazz their way
about Europe, playing dance
music to meet their summer tour
expenses, have touched off some
French Indignation.
French musicians say they
don't mind professional competi-
ton but they balk at being
crowded out of their seaside re-
sort jobs by amateurs who cut
rates and play only during the
height of the summer season
when the professional orchestras
ordinarily have a harvest.
| French musicians. so far, have
made no organized protest, but
have asked the newspapers to ex-
press their feelings. They hope
the Government may be able to
frame some regulation that will
prevent those who come as tour
lists from taking employment.

She had studied far into the
night, had earned the contemptuous
reputation of being bookworm
and a dig and a teachers pet, but
she had plowed grinly through high
school in three years, and had ther
worked for two years-until she
was 18-in a Fourteenth Street de-
partment store in New York, saving
her money for business course.
And at nineteen she had gone tt
work as a stenographer, savagely
determined to be the best private
secretary in New York. If love ane
marriage were not for her, she
would force life to give her the mex
best thing-success
She had lived alone much of the
time, working overtime in every jot
she had held, cooking her owr
frugal meals, making her own dowdy
dresses, studying.
Internationally, between her aunt's
marriage, she had lived with her
sharing the expenses of the tasteful
little apartment which Aunt Flora's

Aunt Flora had never married 8

them, while she was waiting to fall
in love again, she had wheedlec
Vera into staying with her, because
she feared loneliness more thar
anything in the world except ole
age.
But the price that Vera had paic
for a more comfortable home anc
more esthetic surroundings had beer
heavy, for Flora Cartwright had un-
consciously nursed the girls feel
ing of inferiority, had convinced
her anew every day of their life to-
gether that she, Vera Victoria
Cameron, was not made for love
and marriage.
And now, through a miracle
wrought by Jerry Macklyn, who
after all, had only done what Aunt
Flora could have done at any time
during the last five years, she was
beautiful, she was desirable.

anticipation Of something much
more wonderful which was about to
happen.
But-would 1t happen? She had
fallen in love so ridiculously with
a man she had never seen before,
man who had looked through her
as if she did not exist.
She was like her mother, who had
fallen in love with John Cameron
the first time she had seen him at
a country dance, had married him
the next day, throwing up her job
as a school teacher in the little
Missouri town.
She was like Aunt Flora, who
boosted that she had fallen In love
at sight with every man she had
married. 1t was in her blood
this reckless plunging into love. this
mad impulse to fly after the beloved
and capture him at any cost.
She went to sleep. murmurine

she dreamed was dark, aristocratlc'
heart breakingly handsome.
The next morning, after dressing
herself with almost prayerful care
fitness. she had a leisurely, expen-
sive breakfast in the dining car,
deferentially attended by the cher
steward himself, and gloatingly con-
scious of every admiring glance that
the diners-men and women both
cast at her. -
The train reached the little sta
tios of Minnetonka at half-past
eleven. During the three-mile drive
to the hotel on the lake Vera be-
came painfully conscious that at
least two of her fellow-passengers
were regarding her with more than
usual interest and curiosity. They
were a young couple, fashionaoly
dressed, evidently married.
Vera, out of the corner OF her eye
saw the woman whispering to her
husband, glancing from the initials
on Veras bags to her face.
The husband shook his head az
first, smiling indulgently, then, on
looking more closely at the en-
barrassed girl who tried to pretend
ignorance of their scrutiny, he
nodded slowly, his eyes narrowing
with speculation.
1T wonder what's wrong with
me-" Vera worried. "Am I too well
dressed, or not well enough
dressed, or what? But they act as
if they thought they recognized me.
Oh, well, it's silly to worry. If my
own aunt didn't recognize me after
my transformation, I don't see how
they could"
But she was growing more wor-
ried every minute. Fear froze her
into a statue of arrogance. What If
they did see through her-recog-
nized her as stenographer on a
two weeks vacation playing the
great lady? Would they try to have
her put out of their sacred hotel?

Vera encounters the man of her
Jreams-SchuyIer. And this time he
does not look through her, but at her.
