FRIDAY, September IA, nOOn)
Vance slept late the following
day. I had accompanied him to
the Scandals" the night before,
utterly at a loss to understand his
strange desire to attend q type OF
entertainment which I knew he
detested.
At noon he ordered his car. and
instructed the chauffeur to drive to
the Belafeld Hotel.
I'VE are about to call again on
the allurin' Alys," he said. I'D
bring poises to lay at her shrine,
but fear dear ManniX might ques-
ton her unduly about them.
Miss La Fosse received us with
an air of crestfallen resentment.

ded her head with sneering per-
ception.
ST suppose you've come to tell me

Her disdain was almost mag
nifcent. did you bring 'em with
you? A swell guy you are!-
But it's my own fault for being a
damn fool"
Vance waited unmoved until she
had finished her contemptuous til
rade. Then he bowed pleasantly.

"But an artist once told me 1
should always wear white. He
wanted to paint my portrait, but the
gentleman 1 was engaged to then
didn't like him."
Vance regarded her appraisingly.
II think your artist friend was
right. And, v know, the st. Moritz
scene in the Scandals would have
suited you perfectly.
1.-THE little brunette who sang
the snow song, all in white, was de-
lightful; but really, now, she should
have ha6 golden hair.
'Dusky beauties belong to the
southern climes. And she impressed
me as lacking the sparkle and
vitality of a Swiss resort in mid
winter. You could have supplied
those qualities admirably"
Eyes; I'd have liked that better
than the Chinese number, I think.
White fox is my favorite FUR, too
But, even so, in revue you're on
in one number and off in another
When it's all over, you're forgotten"
She sighed unhappily.
Vance set down his cup and
| looked at her with whimsically re-
proachful eyes. After a moment he
said:
My dear, why did you fib to me
about the time Mr.. ManniX returned
to you last Monday night? 1t wasn't
a bit nice of you
What do you meant" Miss La
Fosse exclaimed in frightened in
dignation. drawing herself up into
an attitude of whitening hauteur.
"You see," explained Vance, "the
st. Moritz scene of the Scandals
doesn't go on until nearly eleven,
and it closes the bill.
80 you couldn't possibly have
seen it and also received Mr.. Man
nix here at half past ten.-Come.
What time did he arrive here Mon
day night?"
The girl flushed angrily
You're pretty slick, aren't you?
You shoulda been a cop. Well,
what if I didn't get home till after
the show? ANY crime in that?"
None whatever" answered Vance
mildly. "Only a little breach Of
good faith in telling me you came
home early"
He bent forward earnestly. I'm
not here to make you trouble. On
the country. I'd like to protect you
from any distress or bother. You
see, if the police go nosing round,
they may run on to you.
But if I'm able to give the district
attorney accurate information about
certain things connected with Mon
day night, there1l be no danger of
the police being sent to look for
YOU"
Miss La Fosses eyes grew sud-
denly hard and her brow crinkled
with determination.
"Listenl ! haven't got anything
to hide, and neither has Louey.

Really, " know merely dropped
in to pay you my respects, and to
tell you that the police have turned
in their report of Miss Odell's ac-
quaintances, and that your name
was not mentioned in it.
"You seemed a little worried yes
terday on that score, and it oc-
Cured to me I could set your mind
wholly at east"
The vigilance ofer attitude re-
Taxed.
''Is that straight? My God!
I don't know what would happen
if Louey'd find out I'd been blab-
bing."
I'm sure he won't find out, I'M
less you choose to tell him
Won't you be generous and ask me
to sit down moment?"
"Of course-I'm so sorry. I'm
just having my coffee. Please join
me-" She rang for two extra
services.
Vance had drunk two cupe of
coffee less than half an hour be-
fore. and I marveled at his en-
thusiasm for this atrocious hotel
beverage.
Il was a belated spectator of the
Scandals last night" he remarked
in negligent, conversational tone.
Il missed the revue earlier in the
season. How is it you yourself were
SO late in seeing it?"
I've been so busy" she confided.
Il was rehearsing for A Pair of
Queens but the productions been
postponed. Louey couldn't get the
theater he wanted"
do you like revues?" asked
Vance. Il should think they'd be
more difficult for the principals
than the ordin'ry musical comedy.
"They are" Miss La Fosse adopted
a professional air. And they're
unsatisfactory. The individual is
lost in them. There's no real scope
for ones talent. They're breath
less, if you know what 1 mean"
Il should imagine So" Vance
slipped his coffee. And yet, there
were several numbers in the Scan
dals' that you could have done
charmingly; they seemed par
ticular designed for you.
Il thought of you doing them, and
d. we know?-the thought rather
spoiled my enjoyment of the young
lady who appeared in them"
You flatter me, Mr.. Vance. But
really, I have a good voice. I've
studied very hard. And I learned
dancing with Professor Markoff"
Indeed" G'm sure Vance had
never heard the name before, but
his exclamation seemed to imply
that he regarded Professor Markoff
as one of the worlds most re-
nowned ballet-masters).
Then you certainly should have
been starred in the Scandals The
young lady 1 have in mind sang
rather indifferently. and her dane
ing was most inadequate.
Moreover, she was many degrees
your inferior in personality and at
tractiveneSs. Confess: didn't you
have just a little desire last Mon
day night to be singing the Chinese
Lullaby song?"
ooh, I don't know" Miss La
Fosse carefully considered the sug-
gestion. They kept the lights
awfully low; and I don't look Sc
well in cerise. But the costumes
were adorable, weren't they?"
"On you they certainly would
have been adorable. What color
are you partial to?"
IT love the orchid shades" she
told him enthusiastically; though
I don't look bad in turquoise blue

URE HOOVER
BID FOR OHIO
POPULAR VOTE
Willis Fails to Enter States
Preferential Primary;
Seeks Only Delegates.
BY RAY TUCKER


ScrIppS-HOWard Stan correspondent
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 49,
Herbert Hoover has been urged to
enter the Ohio presidential
preference primary against Senator
Willis by Republican leaders in the
field in what may prove to be the
decisive battle in the pre- convention
campaign.
Willis has not filed in this phase
of the primary struggle, which is
distinct from the delegate fight the
two are waging.
Hoover's strength Is developing
so rapidly, his supporters say, that
he should make a bid for this pivotal
States popular vote as well as con-
vention delegates. 1t is understood
Hoover will decide before Feb. "a,
the last date for filing.
Willis failure to file is interpreted
as evidence he does not care to
precipitate a contest which may
show definitely how his home State
feels about the two candidates..
Dry League Silent
Though the outcome would not
be binding on delegates, it might
have a great popular effect, not only
in Ohio but outside as well.
Another loss to Willis is the re-
ported intention of the Anti-Saloon
League to keep out of the primary
fight. The League may indorSe
Willis, its Senate spokesman, but 1t
will not tolerate any individual or
organized attacks on Hoover's rec
ord or personality.
The dry officers are fearful of
swinging its army against Hoover
and behind man who is not re-
garded even by the drys as a posi-
bic White House tenant.
The League is withholding its fire
for AL Smith, should he be the
Democratic nominee. 1t does not
want to make any primary commit
ments that would embarraSS it in
backing Hoover or any other man
named by the Republicans.
Forecast Hoover Victory
Reports reaching Hoover leaders
here have led to predictions of a
ground swell that will mean Hoo
yer victory on April "a. Sentiment
in the cities is reported to be from
10 to / and 6 to / for the Secretary
of Commerce.
Rural and dry districts regarded
as Willis strongholds list Hoover as
a 4 to and 3 to / favorite. Though
these reports come from Hoover men
they are based on canvasses by
veteran and native politicians.
In Marion, the late President
Hardings home, sentiment for the
cabinet member was said to be to
/. Hope Donithon, Harding's close
friend, and Coolidge's 1924 campaign
manager, is listed for Hoover.

and life grand sweet song. Each day
/ meet a lot of weary creatures, they
yawn and sigh, and don't know what to
do; they wipe the teardrops from their
stricken features, and look around for
something strange and new. They're
tired of gazing at the rolling waters, of
watching airships cleave the distant
clouds; they're tired of going with their
wives and daughters to movie shows,
and mingling with the crowds. They're
tired Of riding In their costly motors:
they're tired Of fog, Of sunshine and Of
rain; they're tired Of hearing loud and
dismal voters discuss the issues OF the
sad campaign The night comes on,
and they are tired of hearing the radio,
with all its rtlmbling noise; they're tired
Of bridge. and they are tired Of peering
at dances sprung by jazZy girls and

thing around them. they feel like con-
victs. by their boredom gyved: they look
ahead, the prospects there confound
them, they look behind, and wonder
| they survived They do not know Just
what it is they're needing to free their
lives of all the dismal weights; they
never learned the blessed trick of read
| ing, forgetting self In tales of other
| skates. Give me a book that treats of

the woes and joys they find: a book
wherein cheerful poet twitters, or
