Never heard of it. Something wrong
Is going on in the earth, that's what,
with earthquakes all over everywhere.
"Yes isn't it odd? Even the papers
don't know what TO think about It,
The other customer lacked the OPP
timistS faith in the press.
"Papers-huh! get my facts direct
from the Bible. A friend OF mine VINO
reads the Bible through every year,
faithful. tells me that all these earth
ouakes going on. and floods and things
are Just forerunners of the destruction
of the earth-the worlds coming to an
end-that'S what!
"Oh, / think you must be mistaken -
the protest came from an old man VINO
was buying cream in bottle ana oats
in a box. ITO my certain knoWledge,
the world has been threatened with
sudden end by forty-eleven amateur
prophets who got it from scripture.
when l was a youngster-thatS long
time ago. ladies-the folks around my
neck of the woods got up May feStl-
val on the church grounds to pay the
pastors salary. After the men had fixed
I'D booths and swings and the Wo-
men had baked and roasted for
the next days opening, there came
a heavy storm that night that left
a light fall of snow over the grounds. so:
The congregation, being OF pious turn.
took 1t as a sign that the pastor otdn t
need any salary that year. My great
aunt proved it by the Bible. The truth
is. We have this bit Of raw weather every
year at this season-snowban Winter. as
the lady says. AS the poet tells us:
'All'S right with the world
It seemed a comfortable doctrine, but
the customer who went by the Bible
instead of the newspapers knew better.
The world was coming 20 an end. She
had the scriptures to go by She was

IF you care for June weddings. here is
another one for good measure.
Somebody gave a party that was neither
q tea nor a dance, but just a twilight
sort OF affair. with pretty girls and nice
young men chatting around and slipping
hot things in cups and cold things IN
glasses, and nibbiing at little cakes ana
phantom sandwiches. with music be-
tween-that sort of thing. And golden
shaded candles Of course. with cou-
pie Of floor lamps way back in the
shadows to make crimson glow. Also
flowers and flowers, with palms in a
tungle-clump to screen the piano and
musicians from view.

brother of the hostess, o nice, almost

affair was in his honor,
There was ono woman guest who was
/ different--or you might call her indlf-
/ ferent. so far MS looks count, seeing her
! skirt was immodestly long and OF a
| gray that is better suited TO shopping
| Than for smart little entertainment
| like this one There was a reason, OF
course. She had worn long skirts Tor
SO many years that changing into rut~
| f1e-short style came hard. and besides,
MS her hair was already halfway short,
| she didn't think it worth while to bob
! the sort of hair that you see once III a
blue moon, that curlS down 10 the
shoulder blades and stops, and which
YOU lust have to tie around in knot
with the fluffy ends caught up with
! hairpinS-real nice hair, but not fash

bling off woman'S glory down TO the
scalp. almost but, anyhow--that was
| the sort of woman she looked like, And.
being a special friend of the hostess, it
was natural that she would try To make
| herself useful in entertaining the few
other plain souls that were also among
| those present.
| She had been introduced to the king
| pin, of course, but he had paid no at
| tention to her-and why should he. see
| ing there were SO many lovely guests
| around?--until the musical program be-
gan to peter out. There had been a

of Il Pagliacci's" sobby little clown, and

| plays them. and then the hostess asked
ankle-Skirt If she would slip around
and sing something. So she slipped
around and sang an ancient something
about lady named Lily Dale. And she
was slipping back again, when the king
| pin came around into the jungle and
| told her she had the most beautiful
voice he had ever heard, and please
would she keep on.
| So she kept on until 1t was time for
more refreshments, when he escorted
her to where the cakes and ices were,
end after that to her home. And that
| is about all there is to it, except that,
| If you have a contralto voice of husky
| richness with a soul to it. 1t doesn't

appear in the feature role of "Wo-
men They Talk About a Warner
Bros. production, 1t is a modern
commentary on the effect Of oma
in politics.
Ii heart dominates head, the lady
candidate for mayor is all the more
charming for that fact.
Miss Rich plays the part of n
wealthy young widow whose daugh-
