FINALLY he paid 35 cents of his re-
= manning 40 to go to a moving pic
ture theater near Jerome avenue.
The picture was a European importa-
ton. Richie had never heard of any of
the actors before, and he hoped that
he'd never hear of them again. What
lot of rubbish-poison and kings and
angry mobs
Well, that was the finish of the pic
ture. Rotten! Richie rambled up the
aisle and out of the theater. He turned
east. Might as we'll go back and see
how Mack made out in the crap game.
1t was almost 10 o'clock. The taxis
were all working. There was no sign
Of Mack. Richie decided to stand
around till Mack came back.
A man came down the street, a man
about 80 years old. He wore his clothes
disinterestedly, though they were good
clothes Richie enviously eyed the top
coat, which must have cost plenty. The
mans face wac attractive, but sullen.
He gazed about uncertainty, then turned
to Richie.
"Is this Valentine avenue?" he asked,
pointing down the dark street.
yep" said Richie.
Gould you tell me if there is fur
nished-room house there?"
II know one" Richie answered.
There may be more"
us it on this first block?"
"Yep. 1t has vacancy sign on it,"
THANK you"
The man walked away.
Richie stared after him. Just imagine
looking around for furnished room at
that hour! He probably didn't want to
rent a room, though; he hadn't any grip.
Probably looking for somebody.
Maybe he was looking for Grace!
Richie smiled little. Funny how,
when you're interested in a certain
party, you think everybody in the world
is interested, too. Probably there were
a dozen people living in Grace's house
and maybe it wasn't that house that he
wanted, after all.
He hadn't anything to do till Mack
came back, anyway. Why not stroll
down the street and see If the fellow
picked the house he wanted right off?
Richie crossed the street; no use max

man opened the door of the rooming-
house when the bell was rung. Richie
noted by the lamp-post light that he was
a fat, sour-faced man. A few words
were exchanged, and the door was shut
in the strangers face. Must be the
wrong house. But, no, the fellow was
waiting. Well, Richie would wait, too,
Just for fun.
Dink Brown and Rose Nieland came
along. They stopped to talk to Richie.
I'VE were to the movie" said Rose.
Dandy show!"
"Yeh."
Great" said Dink. "But I like a
good drama. Think we'll go to the
Wyndham next week."
yeah" said Richie.
"Whatcha standing here in the mid
die of the street for?" Rose asked.
She couldn't have guessed, for Richie
was keeping his eyes trained strictly
away from the rooming house. Once
the gang got to know Grace and to know
where She lived they'd kid him about
staying awake all night and watching
her house. Maybe they'd kid him in
front of Grace, and it was bad business
to let a girl know you were nuts about
her.
'Just for fun" said Richie.
Come on, walk down with u.s." said
Rose. I'm going to fix some sand

Honest, can't.
"Why not?"

and do something for it,
well, go ahead then. It won't do you
any good to stand in the street, posing"
Don't bother him. said Dink, sud-
denly aggrieved. HE doesn't want to
come with us.
Now this was serious: no sense in
making Dink sore-Dink was a nice
fellow!
Honest, Dink, I feel rotten. I'd
come, only I can't hardly swallow, my
threats so sore. Thanks for asking
me, Rose. I'm going to get some stuff

scarfs of red and orange and provoca-
tive lips eyed Richie 1nvitingly. He
looked as If he'd be sociable and good
dancer, He let them see that he was
conscious of their interested regard; the
suuelching of them this way was far
more bitter. A total ignoring of the
brazen flappers would cause them to
believe that he had had the misfortune
to miss them.

always passed this way around o'clock.
At least she had every night since he
! had begun to notice her. But she al
ways passed him, never stopped for a
| few Sociable words. He was determined
that tonight she would stop. He guessed
that she didn't know that half the
fiappers in Fordham would give their
eyebrow pencils to have Richie Bennett
for boy friend.
There she was coming now. Richie
pushed small, mild-looking fellow out
of the way so that she would get an
unobstructed view of his handSomeness
She was still across the street from him.
Her face, with its dark blue eyes and
their long lashes, held his attention.
Gosh she was sweet looking, and there
wasn't another girl in the world whose
hair lay so soft and smooth against her
cheeks.
She was just a yard away from him
now. She smiled and murmured faint
Hello Richie wriggled his index fin
ger at her, but she laughed and kept
walking.
Well, there was nothing to do, he sup
posed, but walk over to her. He did

he asked.

every fellow-but you could have for

He took off his hat and bowed elab-
orately. Richie Bennett-at your
service" he said.

Cost of Beauty.
EIGUNEs that were recently compil

FIGURES that were recently compiled
L. by Statistician connected with the
beauty business reveal that more money
is spent for cosmetics and the beauti-
flying business in this country than any
where else in the world. The latest
figure is $1,000 100000 a year.
Research on the theatrical stage anC
in society inaNew York intimateS that
the bulk of that almost $4,000, 100000
of beauty buying is done by women
who were born to bloom unsung and
unnoticed by the world-a vast section
of the feminine population whose moods
and skins need to be softened by the
gentle manipulation of expert fingers
weighted with fragrant creams, and
whose talent for chatty conversation
finds an outlet and an audience in
thick and tepid air that smells OF soap
and singed and drying hair. Acknowl-
edged beauties declared that they are
too busy to go in for that sort OF
leisurely and expensive coddling. One
of them believes that being busy is
fundamental antecedent to being beau
tiful. And man connoisSeurs. whose
duty 1t is to recognize beauty and dis
cover it for the world. admitted that
loneliness. as they judge it. has little
to do with any ingredient that can be
applied from the outside.
Popular standards for judging
beauty have undergone great change
for the better in recent years. The
public. like the artist, now demands
more than a beautiful face and well
proportioned body" said Arnold Genthe,
who, in addition to having spent a good
part of his life photographing beauti-
full women, has served on prize contest
| juries and discovered several girls who
went out from his studio to become
stars in motion pictures.
"The real beauty Of today has to
be her own beauty specialist" DR..
Genthe said. "Mere regularity Of fea
lures and symmetry of shape are not
enough. The work Is done from within
much more than from without. or
| course there are certain purely physi-
cal requirements. There must be the
| right bone structure. which Is guaran
| tee of the permanence of beauty. But
unless there is a fine spirit shining
| from within, beauty does not speak to
us. 1t is dumb.
1.-THE old music hall idea of pretty
| face with any kind of body and any
kind of mind is quite out of date.
Beauty that is recognized by the aver
| age eye today is more than ever before
beauty as the artist sees 1.-THE entire
body and the spirit within united in
loneliness that arrests our attention.
But have known alleged experts to
be quite blind to beauty of this sort
until a photographer revealed 1t to
them"

SapelO History.

pRESIDENT COOLIDGE'S vacation
l. to Sapelo Island, off the Georgia
coast, recalls some interesting Colonial
history, perhaps forgotten in the Won
deful growth Of the republic. In the
selection of this respite from the official
cares of his Office the President has
been enjoying the environments and
scenes Of the early formation Of the
extreme Southern settlement Of the
original Is States of our Federal Union
In 1852 the trustees Of the Georgia
Colony. which came to be known as
"the Southern Colonies" surrendered
them to the crown and they became
royal colony. Georgia was the last coll
ony planted by England within the
present limits of the United States. 1t
was in the immediate section where the
moSS-covered trees wave to and fro
from the Atlantic breezes that the
trustees of the Orglethorpe George Co
lonial government, over 100 years ago,
without consultation or debate and act
ing on the grounds Of public health,
forbade the importation Of rum and the
introduction of negro slaves. Georgia
was the only colony which prohibited
the introduction of negroes. All the
others from the time that Virginia re-
ceived the first cargo. sooner or later
had patroniZed the African slave trade.
WIN the Georgia settlers the enforce
ment of prohibition against rum was at
tended with serious difficulty in all
parts of the colony, as 1t interfered
with the commerce of the other col
onies.
In the early years of this Georgia
Colony, John and Charles Wesley came
over from England to preach the gospel
to the Indians and to try to improve
the morals and religious condition Of
the colony. They settled on Sapelo
Island, where the President hunted
the deer, quail and turkey a few days
ago.
1t was in the early settlement Of
Fredrica on st. Simon's Island, wheee
the President and Mrs. Coolidge visited,
that Rev. George Whitfield, the elo-
quent English preacher, came with the
Wesleys in 1888 He founded an orphan
school at Ebenezer, which, with some
notifications, still exists as a monu-
ment to his memory. Rev. Whitfield at
first opposed the introduction of negro
slaves, but he afterward changed his
mind. He justified himself by saying
that God had some wise ends to accon1~
plish in reference to African slavery
and that he had no doubt it would
terminate to the advantage Of the
Africans.

IDINK and Rose stood on the side

ner. He did not look at the house
across the street. He walked straight
ahead, turning his head only when
he heard the footsteps Of his friends
going in the opposite direction. From

ing house. He would retrace his steps
when Dink and Rose had disappeared

Richie Spied on them from around the
corner; then he walked back to his
station across from the rooming house
He kept to the shadows. Gee, this
was a fool way for a fellow to act!
Still
The stranger was on the porch and
there was a girl with him now-Grace
Richie could not tell how long they had
been in conversation. Perhaps she had
been there even while he was speaking
to his friends.
The street was very quiet. Richie
could, now and again, catch note OF
Grace's voice. Once the man coughed
and another time, when his voice rose
on a word, Grace said, "hush!"
Gee" Richie thought, The amt
much Of an amusing guy. T amt
heard her laugh once"
What kind of bird was this any
how who called on a girl after it was
too late to take her anywhere? May
be friend of the family's, but what
did he get Grace down for? Why not
her folks? Funny, this!
Suddendly he saw Grace make a
lightning motion. She stepped back
and stood in the doorway The light
streamed full upon her face, and Richie
saw that she was looking at the man
angrily, bravely. Her voice was a de-
gree higher now; it came sharply,
harshly to the listening Richie.
You'll get in this house over my
dead body!"
Maybe so-but I'll get in!" The
mans voice was ugly. His hand shot
out and frightened around Grace's
wrist. IN have you put out, if you
get me started. Who do you think
you are, to treat me like this?"
Richie saw Grace brought down by
the mans twisting grasp on her wrist
Suddenly Richie was running

for example, this means the use Of /

honey. This amount of honey will
not cost more than $1.50, and when you
consider that it is serviceable for three

pense is reduced to from 81 to so cents

Don't worry about it, Mack"

Don't worry about it, Mack
That's easy for you to say. If I had
a dollar or so, I'd get back in the game
and maybe clean up. But, as it is, there
isn't a chance-and how need money
right now"
Macks small, squinty eyes shifted
from RICHES face and focused on the
top of a distant building. There was
something in his eyes. Fear, perhaps,
or worry. Richie couldn't tell what he
saw there, but somehow it seemed i'm
portant that Mack should have his
chance to get back his money.
Richie put his hand in his pocket and
drew out the crumpled SIS bill.
TRY your luck with this he said.
Mack gave an astonished little jump
and looked hastily from the bill to
Riches face. He made no effort to
take 1t.
Gee, I didn't mean to spring sob
story, kid" ne said. Il wasn't trying to
touch you, honest, wasn't"
Mack was embarrassed, but his eyes
kept wandering back to the five and
away again to the other taxi drivers, as
though he was measuring his chances
on getting them into another game.
GO ahead-take it," said Richie.
"You can pay me some time"
Mack took it and thanked Richie
hastily. The dice were rolling again be-
fore Richie fully realized that he had
been trapped into giving away SIS.
He yawned and looked up and down
the street.
1t was a dull evening. Now, If Grace
had only come along, everything would
have been different
He stopped to look IN haberdashers'
windows. Once a sporting goods store
drew his attention for fleeting mo-
ment. Cad, what a dull night! Was
there anybody he could stand, now that
he knew Grace?
Let's See-Helen Stern wasn't bad, but
she thought she was the snakes hips;
she needed taking down. Besides, she
wasn't in it with Grace. That Williams
kid was good number, but you had
to have enough money to take her some
place. Her people didn't have radio
or monograph, so you couldn't use
the line about her home being so cozy
