 But Ruth said she didn't fe al we'll. Besides, Zip was busy at 1le office and sometimes he didn't s4t home until pretty late. It mace things wretched, because they couldn't very well accept dinner invitations. Not that it made any difference. Ruth added. She didn't feel like gong out. anyhow. She couldn't imagine what had come over her lately. Zip said she was like an old woman.
 You sound so unhappy, dear" lamented Molly.
 Maybe you'd sound unhappy. replied Ruth responsibility, If you'd lost your little baby :. and Molly heard her sob before she hung up the receiver.
 She felt as though she had been tactless and unsympathetic. and later that day she sent Ruth some flowers.
 It was a very successful small dinner. Molly's china was mostly Italian. and so she planned an Itai- ian meal.
 They were sitting over the,r coffee when the bell rang. The finger that was ringing it pressed on the button, and held it madden irsly. Molly released the door, but the bell continued to ring. She called through the speaking tube. But still the bell rang with un- ccasing insistence.
 Something's up. I'll see who it is, offered Bob.
 He was gone for several minutes. and hearing strange noises in the hall. the girls went to investigate. Bob was propellinS a man up the stairs-a man who waved his arms about and was making dreadful sounds.
 Its Zip!" cried Rita.
 Zip? But Zip doesn't drink" Molly ran down 10 the landing

 Bob shook his head Then Zip recognized Molly. He flung him. self away from Bob, and threw his arms about her. He was crying ike child.

 Zip raised his swollen face from Molly's shoulder. His soft brown hair that Ruth had loved chung to his forehead in moist strancs, and his chin trembled like child's.

 And I" love you!" he cried More than ever, Molly. I was thinking about you when the phon, rang. l don't ever do anything but think about you, I guess. It's won derful to hear your voice. Do you honestly love me as much as you used to-"
 More" she assured him. 'Ilt tell you tomorrow. Don't miss your train. Goodnight, dear"
 She slipped the receiver slowly in place. One of her dearest friends was dead. And she could still talk about love, Was there something wrong with her? Something coli and heartless? Were other people like that?
 Tomorrow" her heart kept singing. Tomorrow"
 But she thrust the anticipation from her. And conjured, instea I, a vision of Ruth.
 Bob and Rita took Zip home with them. And Molly, when they had gone, found the memory book Of her Freshman year, with all it's heart-wrenching memories of Rutl. For she and Ruth had roomed to- sether that year, and that was the year Zip gave Ruth the moonstona she called her engagement ring. All night Molly sat with the book across her knees.
 When dawn came, she put coffee on, and while it was boiling, she took a shower. Then she lay quiet ly down, not 10 sleep, but to relax. so that Jack would not know she had not slept all the night.
 When his train came, she was waiting.

TARIFF WAR THREAT
limited BY FRENCH
Paris Dissatisfied With Fail
ure of U. S. TO Reciprocate
Trade Concessions.
BY Gable to The Star.

BY Gable to The Star.
PARIS, February "A clear indica-
ton of French anxiety to withdraw
the concessions made to American
goods under the provisional tariff
agreement Of 1927 is seen here in q
speech delivered this week by Paul
Claudel, French Ambassador at Wash
ington, before the French Chamber of
Commerce Of New York. At least to
those Americans In Paris, who have
kept officially and unofficially in
touch with the tariff situation, the
Ambassadors speech was an unpleas-
ant surprise.
Attempts to ascertain from the gov
eminent. whether any withdrawal OF
the concessions is actually contemplated
have met only noncommital response.
1t is admitted, however, that the con-
clusion of new treaties with Belgium,
Austria, CZecho- Slovakia and Jugo-
Slavta, based on the policy of most
favored nation treatment inaugurated
within the treaty with Germany, has
greatly complicated the situation re-
garding the United States.
Failure to Reciprocate inks French.
Moreover, the French are manifestly
dissatisfied over what they consider the
failure of the United States to grant the
concessions promised In return for the
provisional agreement of 1927, putting
American goods entering France on
lie
countries. One of the concessions
promised was the withdrawal from this
country of the United States Treasury
agents, engaged in investigating the
books of French manufacturers to de-
termine production costs. While these
agents have been withdrawn the French
have discovered that the value placed
upon their goods by American port ap-
praiSerS Is In many cases higher than
the figure arrived at when the United
States Treasury agents reports were
used for guidance In judging values.
In addition to this they still smart
under what they consider the "arbi-
trary" restrictions imposed by the
United States health and pure food
laws.
Tariff War Held Probable.
Although the agreement Of 1927 was
called temporary, no attempts have
been made to negotiate a permanent
treaty. Should France decide to cancel
the terms Of that agreement, a tariff
war between the two countries is con-
Sidered here inevitable.
