her peculiar manner of referring to
the people whom he believed to be
her parents.
She was passing through the
lobby on her way to the elevators
when a strident, half masculine,
half feminine voice, halted her.
She knew the voice well, knew
that it was Nan Fosdicks rather
terrible mother who was hailing
her.
"Oh, Lord, what next?" she
groaned to herself, but the face
which she turned to Mrs. Fosdick
was a smilingly polite one.
Want to talk to you, young wom-
an" Mrs. Fosdick doomed. will
you come up to my suite?"
Won't you come to my room?"
Vee-Vee smiled, with a malicious
little emphasis on the last word.
Mrs. Fosdick let pass no opportu-
nifty to impress her wealth upon
anyone she came in contact with.
Although they were the only two
passengers in the ascending ele-
vator Vee-Vee felt crowded. Mrs.
Fosdick was so overwhelmingly big
that she seemed to fill the car. She
was like caricature of her daugh-
ter.
Nan was big, her mother was
huge. Mans acquiline nose became
a beak on the older woman's face.
Little pig-like black eyes were al
most submerged between overhang-
ing black brows and puffy ridges of
flesh.
AS soon as they entered her room,
Vee-Vee went to the phone and
gave an order for iced tea, iced
coffee, sandwiches and cakes, to be
sent up Immediately.
shell be in a better humor If
she is eating" Vee-Vee told her
self with a grin.
Now looka here, Vivian Gran
dali, I've come here to have frank
talk with you." Mrs. Fosdick began
ominously.
"Oh, do let's wait until the iced
drinks arrive" Vee-Vee begged
with her most ingratiating smile.
I'm dreadfully warm, aren't YOU?
And a tiny bit hungry.
Rowing makes me ravenous. I've
noticed that you take iced coffee.
Mrs. Fosdick. Don't you think the
coffee is delicious here?"
Nothing to compare with the
New Orleans coffee or the Vienna
! coffee" Mrs. Fosdick contradicted
her fatty, but she eased her bulk
into the largest chair and relaxed a
trifle.
Vee-Vee kept her reminiscing
about her European travels-or
rather, about European food-until
the waiter had arrived and de-
parted.
When Mrs. Fosdick had con-
sumed three sandwiches and half OF
her tall glass of iced coffee, Wee.
Wee permitted her, without further
struggle, to open the subject which
mad brought her there.

softly.

business-but I feel it my duty to
tell you the plain truth about that

to try to adduct you, and that that

Vee-Vee laughed with pretended
gayety, but in her heart she feared
that Schuyler was right. Thurston
was not taking any chances on a
mesalliance being contracted in his
hotel.
He valued the good will ct the
high and mighty Crandalls" too
much for that. If he contrived that
Vivian Crandall-as ne thought
Vee-Vee to be-should at last be de-
livered intact and in good condi-
ton to her anxious parents, he
would have them everlastingly in
his gratitude, and the Hotel Min
netonka would benefit accordingly
Undoubtedly he had visions of
Crandalls summering gratefully at
the MinnetonkG and bringing in
their train the very cream of New
York society.

dozen other boats followed them.
circled about them, their occupants
calling out gay quips, haunting
Schuyler with laughing challenges
for race.
"Oh, damn!" Schuyler said in
deep disgust, as he whirled his boat
toward the landing.
I'm going to see you alone if I
have to come up to your room.
Though I suppose the house de-
tective would follow me there and
throw me out of the hotel. Thurc-
ton would love that!" he added.

the smiling waters of the lake.
There's still the evening left. a
whole evening before anything is
likely to happen" Wee Wee consoled
herself, as she and Schuyler walked
toward the hotel after their conf
cally chaperoned boat ride.
"Vee-Vee," Schuyler laid a hand
on her arm and detained her as she
was about to ascend the steps of
the wide front porch. eff they

For the first time she realized
how harassed he must be, knowing
as he must, that Vivian Crandall
was being sought by private detec-
tives hired by her parents.
He must be bitter with desnair
over the fact that the girl he had
loved hopelessly for five years was
about to be whisked away from him
just when he had almost succeeded
in winning her.
Don't worry, DEAR" she said in a
low voice, addressing him with an
endearment for the first time.
"Ihurston has promised me not to
interfere, not to notify-the Gran
daus. Believe me, dear, when I tell
you that Mr.. and Mrs. Crandall
have absolutely no power over me-"
she flushed with shame at the
sorry way in which she saved her
self from lie even as she evaded
the truth. But she saw, to her re-
lief, that Schuyler Smythe was

"S the day wore on, Vee-Vee
IA began to wonder almost hys-
terically If Thurston, the
manager of the Minnetonka, had

guests in keeping her from being

practically surrounded by the
friends they had both made since
their arrival at the hotel.
Their golf game became four

pies knowing exactly how it had hap

for more than a few words between
them, as they played down the

MOVIE PICTURE
A STYLE GAUGE.
SYDEMAN'S VIEW

Influence of the motion picture as
dictator to the people who make
the fashions in clothes has a very
important influence on the business
of the ready to wear manufacturers,
according to W. H. Sydeman, of
New York, whose interests own sew
eral stores in Arizona. Mr.. Sydeman,
who has just been making tour
of the state and calling upon his
interests here, gave the Phoenix
papers an interesting interview which
sets forth that idea in a most inter
esting style. Here is the story as
printed in Phoenix:
"In the clothing business there is
no east, there is no west since the
era of motion pictures, and the far
1er's daughter in the wheat belt
knows as much about styles as the
debutante of Gotham, according to
w. H. Sydeman, New York, ready
to wear king, who was in Phoenix
yesterday.
"Sydeman, who is a member of
the Federal Clothing stores, New York
chain clothing store operators, came
here yesterday to inspect the COM
pany's new Phoenix store. They
operate the Federal Clothing store,
a recent addition to Phoenix business
establishments.
"'People today are dressing better
than ever, declared Sydeman. And
| it keeps the merchants and manu-
facturer on their toes all the time.
What's vogue today is passe to-
morrow 1t used to be that Hiram"

But that's all changed now.

tanning their aim.
THE merits of the Red Cross cause
requires no comment, it is pointed
out by the workers, because it is an
organization whose good work is a
matter of common knowledge and fre-
quent occurrence. One of the inter
esting things in connection with this
campaign for memberships is liter
ature of the last years campaign
wherein one of the slogans in urging
people to become members was Pre-
pare now for inevitable future disas-
ter" The people gave their member
ship fee, a small amount, and when
the great flood of the Mississippi rlv-
er came there were funds available to
meet the emergency while the work
of gathering the additional needs was
carried on That might well be the
same appeal this year.
Disasters belong in the category of
the inevitable. They can neither be
foretold nor forestalled. Because OF
that truism, the Red Cross has work
that cannot be neglected, it is urged
by the committee, and the duty of
membership falls upon all. The Red
Cross headed, as it is, by the President
Of the United States as its chief, en-
joys a reputation for good deeds per-
formed that has won praise for it
from every corner of the earth. 1t car

COLD POWER
Exceeded in Financial

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-English
currency is maintained on the gold
standard simply by grace of the
Bank of France.
The Bank of France, apparently
on its way to complete demoraliza-
ton a year ago, has climbed back to
point where it is exceeded in
financial power only by the United
States Federal Reserve system
France, far from being in desper-
ate need of United States financial
aid, car be expected to make debt
payments during the next two years
far in excess of those called for by
the unratified Mellon-Berenger
agreement.
These statements concerning the
amazing financial recovery Of France
during the past year were made to-
day by David Friday, noted econ
omist and former Michigan State
College president, who has just re-
turned from an extensive survey OF
financial conditions in Europe.

URGES CUT IN
FRENCH Debt
$4,000, 100000 Reduction
Is Asked BY Speaker.

By United Press
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, Aug. IL.
AS justice to France" and a "debt
of honor owed by America" a re-
duction of $4,000, 100000 in the prin-
cipal of the French war debt to
the United States, was advocated
here before the Institute of Politics.
William T. Hornaday, honorary
president of the American De-
Tense Society and active prepayment
of preparedness and national de-
tense, was the speaker. =
He branded as an injustice the
provision of the French debt, under
which France is called upon to make
payments for sixty-two years, and
asserted that Frances capacity to
pay had been grossly over rated.
France" he said, "has been our
close friend ever since the birth of
our Nation. A Nation of heroes, who
deliberately elected to die fighting
rather than be conquered alive, re-
luctantly has announced to the
world dissatisfaction with the debt
settlement that we have handed her.
The almost invisible, but ever
present hand of American author
ity in the Philippines" has held in
check any serious and natural out
break between the natives and the
Chinese, another speaker, Professor
Ralston Hayden of the University
of Michigan, said.
He estimated the Chinese popu-
lation of the Philippines at be-
tween sixty thousand and seventy
thousand, in addition to approx
mately 100000 native born Filipinos.

URGES EARLY HOURS IN
SUMMER FOR CHILDREN
Don't Get Enough Sleep, Health
Officer Says

LONDON, Aug. 11.-That "extra

because it is summer, is bad for the

more necessary that every effort
should be made to improve their
