The World amdAll
EINsTEIN AND t

Recently l saw a play called "wings Over Europe"
Not a great play, perhaps, and not faultlessly done,
but provocative Of thought. Well. a few nights earlier
I had seen a completely worthless play called "one
Way Street." 1t was so utterly empty and ~unsstisfy-
ing. and SO badly acted. that ! thought / had come
upon quite a treat in wings Over Europe"
This play, as you may have heard, has no woman
in II, and is practically devoid of action. It has a
great deal Of talk. the usual admixture of hokum, and,
Of course. one pistol shot.
But there Is n young man in the play who talks a
great deal about his newly discovered mastery over
the atom. He can rsarrange the molecules or the
~eleetrcns or something such. and so he can do any
thing. He can turn wood in to gold. sugar into dyna-
mite. He can suddenly rearrange the atoms making
up the earth, thus instantly turning this planet into
chaos and plotting out what we know as civilization
and society and the world.
Coming back from the play. ! happened to fall upon

CHAPTER XVIII


Betty was up early in the morn
ing after she had read the story In
the T~ettler. She went for a walk,
and felt that everyone she met must
have read the story. She wished
she did not have to face them.
She felt there was no chance for
her now. This publicity might be
worth something in n professional
way IL she could induce one Of the
decent newspapers to tell her side
OF the story; but she felt the mat
ter was not of enough consequence
to interest them.
She had but a hundred and fifty
dollars, and wondered what she
would do. She was sure there was
no chance for her to get other work
dancing in the city. Almost uncon-
seiously she turned her steps to-
ward the restaurant George Harris
managed. George was . steady
rock, and had always stood by her
in every crisis.
During the lull Of business be-
tween breakfast and lunch, the res
taurant was almost empty. Betty
sat at one Of the tables and asked
the attractive head waitress IL she
could see Mr.. Harris.
As George came out Of his Of
flee she saw his eyes sweep the
room to see who wanted him. She
also saw his jaw tighten, his lips
compress to n narrow line, and DIS
approval come into his face.
He came across to her and said,
very formally: "Good morning, Bet
ty. What can ! do for yours
"I'm not sur ycu can do any
thing, George" answered Betty. Il

It wasn't a drunken brawl, anyway.
I gave that nasty Daubert no ex-
cuse for what he did. i am not TO

"You are entirely to blame. IL

Betty rose from her table.

me you are through with dsncing

Betty. You are a good girl st heart,
