which the woman has always been able to enter, assured that there will be no sex handicap. The stage calls for individuals and the abil- ity tc interpret type for the au- dience is all that really counts. Indeed, women havo interpreted masculine roles often and received greater acclaim tiaan men, Sarah Bernhardt for ore.
 With songs it is the same. It is the individuality regardless of sex, that gets over. Blue Hawaii 8 waltz song that I have been singing the length and breadth of the United States this year, has been sung often by men on the same bill, but I have never known sex in either instance to influence the audience. The public want what they want, and are just as interested in my rendition of Blue Hawaii as in that of their favorite male singer.
 'This instance of the successful working out of professional equality between men and women makes me a strong advocate of all equal rights legislation that breaks down sex barriers in pro- fessions and businesses"

A week and @ day she had spent at Yew Lodge, coming happy and care free, and stark tragedy had stalked her there. She had killed a man, taken a life. Her head dropped in her hands and her body shook with fearless sobs as she leaned against the porch pillar for support. Julia flew to her, draw ing her into her strong arms.
 Don yo' grieve, Miss Peggy, dear; if it hadn' been fo yo' we'd a-been murdered in our beds" she declared stoutly five minutes later. T know them Stantons."
 You know them, Julia?" Peggy looked up curiously.
 "Sholy; I heard whut de men, folks hyar to-day had to say 'bou' 'em, an it was plenty. Come inside, honey, an lie down a bit"
 Peggy went with her into the liv- ing room. She snuggled down on the lounge and closed her eyes. She was grateful for the warmth and she was very, very weary.
 When she again opened her eyes the living room was dark except for the freight. Too drowsy to move, she lay still watching the burning embers; then her gaze shifted from the hearth and stop ped-arrested by the sight of pair of long legs stretched out from a wing chair.
 "Jim!" She barely breathed his name.
 Like a shot he was by her side. Absorbed in each other, neither mo- ticed the use of his given name. He whirled the wing chair about even as he spoke and dropped into it.

Sc. Never Any Handicap in Theatre, Says
 Singer

New York City-The theatri- cal profession can point with pride to the fact that it's members were the first to try out complete pro- fessional equality between men and women. At least that is the opinion of Mary Marlowe, we'll known dramatic singer.
 "Long before the fight for wo- man suffrage began, indeed, from the earliest history of the theatre, the stage was recognizing profess sional equality of the sexes and using both in the mixing and mak- ing of good drama in productions" l" saw the singer.
 'sBack in the old transforming days, the leading man and the leading woman commanded equal prestige, salary and professional recognition based on their indi- vidual talent" declares Miss Mar lowe, land the same thing is true of the stage today.

Every since that time I have suffered from extreme ner- vousness, weakness, stomach trouble and constipation in their very worst forms. I absolutely had no ambi- tion or endurance. I seemed tired all the time. The least little physi- cal effort would bring on perspira- ton.
 T would get so weak I couldn't stand up at times without finding something to hold on to- I had no control over my nerves. At times I would be very melancholy and would feel like I was losing all my former friends on account of being so irritable and unpleasant. In fact, I felt was losing all desire to live and enjoy life.

 Out of the end of his eye Jim noticed her condition and reaching down, pulled his overcoat up over her knees.

 Paying no attention to Jim's mumbled refusal, Peggy alm S t forced the plate bearing his share of broiled chicken and fried po- tatoes into his hands.
 Peggy lifted the coffee pot and held it over Jim's cup.

 Jim shook his head.
 T owe you so much" "tSee you this evening"" he called and Peggy, her impulsive speech checked, stood watching him out of sight.
 Slowly she turned to go in the house, the sheriff's assistant hold ing the door open for her. It was not until she was in her bedroom that she realized that she still held Jim's coat in her hands She took down a coat hangar and inserted it in the sleeves. As she dropped her hand, she touched the butt of a weapon protruding from the pocket.
 Drawing it out she stood for a moment looking at the automatic pistol, then walked over to the dresser by the window and turned it over

 Peggy looked again at the pistol in. her hand-the lettering on it, the number. 373l77, corresponding exactly with the lettering and num- Der she had copied from her uncle's automatic pistol when first she found it.
 This then, must be her uncle's pistol. Taking out the clip she counted the cartridges-one was missing. It must be the pistol she had used when she Killed Ed gar Stanton.
