The words came out with such
decision, so clipped, that Nancy
was startled. Some Of the papers

floor.
Yes sir. I notice that It's the

Nancy was getting out Of his car
and was so conscious Of being
watched from behind the curtains
Of Mrs. Carmody's parlor that she
paid little attention to them. Once
inside the door they struck her as
being kind OF odd.
What did he mean, find her an
other placer As it WAS she could
not even afford this place, at least
when she could pay Ginger for al
lowing her to share her room.
Just as soon as she received her
first money. Nancy intended to
get other quarters. She thought
she would take one Of Mrs. Car
mody's cheapest rooms until she
got her bearings and had saved a
few dollars.
The modelling job, luckily would
bring her more cash, actually
earned by herself, than she had
ever had before. She knew she
was going to earn the money at a
great sacrifice to her pride; she
anticipated what her townspeople
would say when they went to the
style show and saw her walking
out on the stage In THE Debut

any of the expensive garments
that she was ordered to wear.

more. Why, neither Of them has
been out OF Appleton for 40 years.
and they've never known anyone

Nancy's imagination started
leaping ahead again. She saw her
self earning lots OF money--enough
to furnish one OF those bright
apartments on upper Wisconsin

They would be comfortable and

"Or should say that the bot

Ginger had an uncanny way OF
sensing things. Sometimes Nancy
thought she could read thoughts.
Now what prompted her to say
did the millionaire sheik try to
get funny?"
Nancy knew that IL she related
lust what had happened in the
office that day that Ginger would
certainly regard Howard Wes-
colts actions as trying to get
funny

NEW C0NQUEsTs OF TINE AND SPACE

One step swiftly follows another in the develop
ment Of television. Three years ago il was a dream;
a year and a half ago, when DR.. Alexanderson described
his apparatus to the American Institute OF Electrical
and the work Of Baird in England was re-
vealed, it was a dimly comprehended marvel; n little
over a year ago, when Mr.. Hoover in Washington was
seen and heard in New York, its practical possibilities
began to be realized. Now it has stepped out OF the
laboratory and the neon ray into the sunlight; a ten
mis- player practicing on the roof Of the Bell Laboratory
is seen on an inner floor-seen as clearly as the
images in the first movies a short generation ago.
Few will now doubt that the time is now coming
when pictures and scenes Of all kinds will be broad
cast over great distances as sounds Of all kinds arc
broadcast today. Men may sit in their homes seeing
and hearing plays in the illusion OF the theater; may
watch and hear orators as they sway parliaments and
international assemblies; may bask in the sunlight Of
Cairo while gazing at a blizzard in Montreal; my even
see history made on the battlefield When a new Bun
ker Hill or Gettysburg is dedicated, when a coronation
is held, when a Panama Canal is opened, a continent
may watch il as half continent listens this summer
to Mr.. Smith nd Mr.. Hoover. And the device will
doubtless be ~ rich in unexpected uses rs the radio
and telephon ehave been. We may have great spe-
cialists directing urgent distant operations by tele-
vision; We shall have universities reaching the mass
eye as they now begin TO address the mass-ear; we may
see its private uses develop in extraordinary ways.
Our world Of airplane. radio, movie and wireless
telephony across the Atlantic would seem strange in
deed TO Abraham Lincoln. Is there any reason 20 be-
lieve that the world Of fifty years hence would not
seem strange to men Of today? What Henry Adams
called the principle Of acceleratiOn applies peculiarly
to science and industry. Progress and change move
with increasing momentum. From all evidences, il
would be a far smaller, more intimate, more public
worold than ours; the planet Of today will seem by
comparison loose and full Of obscure corners. But the
changes will doubtless appear as priceless to posterity
as our recent acquisitions appear to nG.
