Gays room was the best in the
house. Inevitably. She was the
sort Of person to whom the best
rooms. the best theater seats, the
most advantageous restaurant ia
bles, always are given. Hers was
the cream Of life by natural pre-
rOgative; she accepted 1t calmly
as II life were nothing but cream.
She shared the room with Jane
Mcclure. her closest girl friend
except for Irene. almost her sole
girl friend. AS a rule women over
90 and under 10 were the only
ones who could make themselves
care for Gay. Irene was an excep-
ton because she had an almost
masculine type Of mind; she APP
preciated beauty as a man does,
and neither Jealous Of 1t nor afraid
OF it.
Jane was an exception because
she was shrewd. She had long
ago decided that to be Gays tntt-
mate was safer than to be Gays
foe. She was nearly as pretty as
Gay and equally popular, and she
played In the same playground;
hence 1t had had to be either one
thing or the other.
They kept each others secrets
and eechewed each others suffers
and got along very nicely. There
had been, to be sure. a few re-
grettable pisodes-nOtably the cpl.
sode of the blonde young English
man, discovered by Jane only to
discover Gay latter which they

usually their relations were of the
most amicable; and they missed
each other badly when they were
not. Unbelievable though It may
seem, exceedingly gorgeous young
ladies are often lonesome, especial.

Jane was very dark, with long
hair which she bound in bands
. around her sleek small head, and
eyes Of Jet set rather wide apart.
She used no rouge. but bore down
heavily with a lipstick, so that
her mouth resembled poppy petal
In snow. Vivacity was item one Of
her cged0. She held that a girl
was a kind of glorified clown in
the circus Of the universe, whose
mission was to entertain. Accord
ingly, she entertained; and only
Gay and a few others were aware
that this exuberance of spirits
was not part Of Jane, but a
thing she chung on and wore like Q

Lily opened her lips to speak
and then closed them again.
What was there that she could
say against Pat in all honesty?
She searched her mind and could
think OF nothing except his friend
ship with Elizabeth Ertz. And
there really was very little to that.
Only, OF course, she had been in
his apartment that day a month
ago when Lily had made UP her
mind to go back to Pat and stay
with him. Surely that had not
looked so we'll.

said finally to the lawyer. and

When he was gone Lily got up
and stood before the lawyer.
She drew a deep breath like a
runner getting ready for a race
or a swimmer for a dive.

WE wanted to get into closer
w touch with the users of
Rice'S Bread, and so we offered a
series of prizes for the best letters
from housewives telling why they
prefer Rice'S to other bread.
From the hundreds of replies,
we learned that housewives pre-
fer Rice's for a dozen different
reasons-its texture; it's fresh
ness; it's keeping, slicin9 and
tOastin9 qualities; its especial
niceness for sandwiches - but
above all these other reasons,
most of the housewives placed
taste - the delicious, hOmelike
flavor that makes Rice'S so diff
ferent from other breads.
In the two letters to the right
of the pictures-both of which
won prizes in the contest-Mrs.
Pritchard and Mrs. White rank
this quality first. But they give
plenty of other reasons for lik-
ing Rice's that will interest every

SEATS IN CONGRESS

In a national campaign the fight over congressional seats is kept in the background. Interest in the presidential candidates is so wide spread that few pause 10 consider the campaigns of the congressman. This is not entirely a worthy method, but can scarcely be avoided. Yet there are innumerabIe states in which the strength Of the parties are so even that the congressional fights are as lively in a wav as the fights over how the district is to go in the national election.
 Both political parties are confi- dent, if not ver-confident, regarding their prospects in the congressional arena. The Republicans believe ex- plicitly that they will be able to re- tain the present status quo in Con- gress; but Chairman Oldfield of the Democratic national committee at least protrudes a morsel for thought in his claim that the outlook is for a political upset in Congress, entirely apart from the outcome of the vote for President.
