While many branches of trade are
still under the influence of the year
end recession, and reports indicate
that activity in some lines has not
thus far revived as promptly as was
expected, it is still too early to con
clude that this tendency has any sig
nificance as an indication that the
years business may be materially less
active than that of 1926; although
this view finds some support in the
unexpectedly sharp downturn expert
enced by a number of lines in the
closing weeks of last year, states the
current issue Of the Guaranty Sur
vey, published by the Guaranty Trust
company of New York.
In the last few weeks general bust
ness activity has been on about the
same level as in January, 1925, the
Survey continues. Commercial check
payments, measured by bank debts
to individual accounts outside of New
York City, were slightly larger dur
ing the first three weeks of this
month than a year ago. Railway
freight car loadings in the first two
weeks of January numbered 1,89O,845,
which compares with 1,839,35 in the
first fortnight of 1926. The steel in
dustry has been operating at a con-
siderably higher level than in Deem
Der, although the months output will
probably be well below the total for
January of last year.
Lumber mills opened this year with
a rate of output approximately equal
to that of a year ago, but with ship
ments and orders materially smaller.
The bituminous coal trade, on the
other hand, has felt the stimulus of
active buying apparently due, at least
IN part, to the fear of labor Difficult
ties following the expiration of the
present union wage agreements in
April.
; Without question, the outstanding
trend in financial markets during the
! last few weeks has been the down.

one afternoon as they sat over
pot Of green tea at the kitchen
table. Il have just enough money
in the bank to keep me going for
while-and that doesn't include
any clothes, let me tell you.''
She went upstairs and looked
over the things that hung in her
clothes-closet. Perhaps that hat
would do if she put a new silk
band on it. A white gardenia
would freshen up her old blue
serge suit.
She dressed and went out onto
the boulevard to buy some ribbon
and a white cotton flower, and
that was how she happened to
meet Monica again.
Monica was almost pretty in a
fawn-colored suit and hat. A fluffy
fox scarf was around her shout
ders and there was a bunch of
violets on her breast. When she
moved their fresh odor mingled
with the strong scent OF the per-
fume she was doused with.

She ground her teeth together

She could almost feel her heart
skip a beat whenever she thought
about Gus, and the way he
looked at her when he was going
to kiss her, and the way his arms
went around her-slowly and
softly at first, and then tight and
vise-like.
It was queer, but whenever she
thought of Gus, she thought
about herself in. his arms. The
way she felt when he kissed her.
Whereas, when she thought of
Andy she thought about the way
he looked and the things he said

about her failure in pictures and
her lack of money. There was

was like Lottie Schultz, full OF

she couldn't afford to pay a dollar
