Regardless Of the cold wind which

was no way out, but-death. And
twice on Monday she had tried to

she lacked the courage.
When the first fury of her self

Buenos Aires has number OF

the outskirts as large as good sized
theater and with outdoor gardens.
Men of Buenos Aires come here, but
never their wives. One can find dane
ing partners from all over the world,
some very beautiful.
The status of these partners Il
rather vague, according to report.
From any puritanical American
standard. such a cabaret Is social
phenomenon and is regarded as a
show place for the visitor. The set

American night club, eating is
cheaper and SO is drinking. The be-
haviour Is better.

parade is found to be one vast ogle.

anyone who goes out after dinner Is

On Florida, during parade, one

admiration when it is excited. Under
the law de cincuenta. however, any
female may call a cop If she receives
any unwelcome addresses, whereupon
the accoster is automatically fined so

instrument of blackmail.
Intensive advertising has been
creating a demand for the popular
brands of American cigarets, but. be-

brands are bootlegged in Buenos
Aires. Camels or Lucky Strikes cost

speaking people find it SO much

johnson know the depths to which
she had fallen.
But what could she do? It was
unthinkable to 60 on with the hid
eous game she was playing-and un-
thinkable to crawl back to Stanton
and confess her depravity. After all,
she sobbed, she had been thinking of
Pablo Mendoza more than of herself.
It was to save him from Bob'S wrath,
from arrest as her deceiver or alb
ductor. that she had conceived the
mad idea Of kidnapping herself. or
course she had not realized what she
was doing. But with violent hands
Crystal slapped her own face again
and again.
"You coward, you'll" she sobbed hy-
stertcally. glad of the pain she had
inflicted upon herself. Trying to
justify yourself-you fool! I'm not fit
to live! And I haven't the courage to
die! Oh. God, have mercy on me!
Show me what to dol"
But not even that passionate prayer
was wholly sincere. Crystal knew
what she ought to do. But it was
as impossible for her to go and con-
TESS her sins to Bob, Faith, Tony.
Cherry, as it was to kill herself,
She was lying on the floor ex-
hausted with weeping. when she
became conscious that the room was
filled with smoke and the odor of
burning beans.
Although she really wanted to die.
or thought she did, the instinct Of
self Representation made Crystal lean
to her feet and drag the pot Of hope
lessly burned beans from the ire
place. With a fork she dug at the
mass frantically. but there was less
than a cupful that could be eaten

Washington, Jan. 3O.-For all its
European preferences. Buenos Aires
is just like the other atin-American
countries in preferring its movies from
Hollywood.
There may be Sneers from some
ArgentinianS about the low cultural
level of our films. but the people eat
them up.
Your correspondent visited one of
the larger movie houses on Sunday
afternoon. Instead of one main fea-
ture picture he found four or five
on the program. The movie patron
here buys his show in one-hour Sec
tions. He can buy from one hour Of
movies to five or six, with cut rates
for three or five-hour tickets.
A two-hour picture is cut and then
speeded up to tit into its allotted hour
and how the action does whizz Most
Of the sob stuff and other junk is
thereby eliminated or made more
bearable. Some remarkable effects
are obtained from the slap stick
comedies. Instead Of showing single
two-reel funny. the theater packs a
half dozen of them into single
comedy hour
American business mon say the
movies have been great help in
creating demand for American lux
uries, for when an Argentinian OBJ
tains only fleeting glimpse Of lux
ury he has to have 1t.
Sound movies have been tried in
Buenos Aires. but the language bar
rier has kept the talkies eway and
none of tn, latter has beer. produced
in Spanish.
Taking ones girl to the movies is
a different process here. Especially in
the middle class, it is also neces-
sary to take along the rest of her
family.
Romantic American youths confide
that the best way yet found to beat
this game is to pick a girl n a
sister and provide another fellow for
the sister. Two sisters, 1t appears,
can sometimes break away from the
house without having any Of the
older folks tag along. after which
they can split up.
There has always been some COM
plant concerning lack of social in
tercourse among young people,
although there is more of 1t now The
