 She was wearing g suspender skirt of red and blue, pleated smart ly. Her blouse had a broad childish collar, with blue silk tie She wore l a scarlet beret, and striped wool socks over her nude silk stockings.
 Ashtoreth was in brown, and her skirt was five inches longer than Sadie's.
 Ash. now" pronounced Sadie. Hooks like I'd like to look. But God didn't have no clothes horse in mind when he give me these short little 1egs.''
 She sat beside Maizie, and stuck them out derisively.
 Not so hot" she lamented. Say. Ash. if I had a coup,a stems like yours. There's no telling how far a good pair of legs will take girl. . Say, dearie, what makes you wear your skirts 80 long," Maizie looked slightly scandalized.
 If you'd think less about your legs. Sadie" she began.
 "Oh. all right. All right. I was only trying to give your daughter a compliment, Mrs. Ashe."
 Sadie got up restlessy. and wan dered over to the radio.

 She twisted the dial, looking over her shoulder at Ashtoreth.

And all the while she was thinking. of course. of Hollis.
 'Sadie's an old crab. Nuns. She just likes to hear herself talk" She bent to her mothers ear. Let me sleep with you tonight. darling. Sadie can have my room. I've a secret to tell you"
 Maizie squeezed her ecstatically.
 That will be lovely. dear. Just like when you were little"
 Here's the News" announced Sadie, "broadcasting the late news"

 Ashtoreth sprang to her feet. NNherc, Sadie?"
 ''Oh, my God, Ash! I never thought about Monty"
 Sadie strengthened. Her eyes were wide and frightened.
 T didn't set it all. Somewhere in Connecticut. I think he said. Flying over from New York. Oh, wouldn't it be awful. Ash." , Maizie thumbed the telephone di- rectory.
 "Call the News" she commanded. Here's the number-You do it, Ash--ask for the city desk"
 But Ashtoreth shook her head.
 'Here-I will" Sadie darted into the hall, with Maizie at her heels.

 Tt isn't Monty!" protested Ash toreth.
 "Noe We'll. it must be something you et," mocked Sadie. Only I'd call it Love-I would"
 The telephone rang sharply.
 'There, I bet that's Monty now declared Maizie.
 She took the receiver down.
 "Yes-yes, MT. Burton. What. Whats that you said? Oh, my God. no! There's some mistake. There's some mistake. I said. Yes. yes-she was. Yes. this evening. No-no. l tell you. :"
 Ashtoreth gripped her mothers shoulders. And Maizie. as she turned from the transmitter. thought that she had never seen eyes so big and frightened. Nor a living face be- fore that was whiter than death.

 Then. into the phone. Just a minute, MT. Burton. Hold the line a moment. My daughter is here now. Will you hold the line, please, until I speak to her?"
 Maizie's pink cheeks were pale, and there were lines, that had come like lightning. to crease her face in ugly folds.

Mr.. Taylor in his paper on Service
After the Deal" contends that the oper-
ator must establish and make known a
definite Servicing policy if the builder
Is to render service intelligently and If
the buyer is to appreciate this pro-
fessed service.
This policy, he declares, should cover
the following four points of major i'm
portance: Conditions occurring, or evil
dent after occupancy, for which respon-
sibility is to be acknowledge by the
builder; conditions for which RESPONSE
bility is denied, length of time during
which responsibility Is assumed and
conditions and manner under which
service will be rendered
MIR. Lusk points out in his discussion
Of building surveys that the operative
builder, in judging the demand for
new construction in a particular city,
must have highly specialized, right
down-to -braSS-tackS" information to
guide him, and to avoid guessing that a
demand exists for his proposed product
An operator planning a group of de-
tached frame houses in a certain Sec
ton of Washington, for instance, he
said, wants to know how many such
houses selling for price that would
place them in competition with his
houses were built in that section during
the past year. what they sold for, how
long it took to sell them, the number
remaining on the market, etc.
Mr.. Lusk described in detail the work
of the Operative Builders Association
in gathering volundinouS statistics of
this type here.

REAL ESTATE ANNALS PRINTS
ARTICLES BY FOUR D. C.. MEN

Four Washington men have articles
on subjects concerning real estate bust
ness in Annals of Real Estate Practice
Of 1925" a great volume published by
the National Association of Real Estate
Board for free distribution among its
members, copy of which has Just been
received by The Star.
The tome carries 1,243 pages of dis
cllSsion on all major phases of activity
in the real estate field, including ad-
dresses made before meetings of the
association during the past year and
other signed articles.
Local contributors are William p.
MacCracken, Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce in charge of aviation, who
discusses the relation of aviation devel-
opment to real estate business; r. Bates
Warren, who gives pointers on the pric-
ing of units in tenant-owned apart
ment building; Waverly Taylor, who
discusses services an operator should
and should not give after deal is con-
6ummated, and Rufus S. Lusk, secretary
of the Operative Builders Association
of Washington. who describes the pur-
poses and results of construction, sales
and vacancy surveys made by the aSso-
citation.
Aside from the business the rapid de-
velopment of aviation in this country
has brought to real estate operators
aviation itself is being employed by real
estate firms in their business, it Is point
ID out by Mr.. MacCracken.
Use of Airplanes.
There are several real estate oper-
Ators in the United States already who
are using airplanes-and, understand
very effectively-in showing their pro-
pective customer the property that they
want to sell him, and it is not always
acreage property. They take their GUS
toners up and show them what they
want to show them with respect to the
development of the entire community
so they can get the relationship be-
tween the property under consideration
and the entire community as 1t is de-
Veloped.
"For long time" he adds. realtors
have been using aerial photography
You will find them in many real estate
Offices. They ought to be in every rea
estate office that is interested in any
appreciate amount of property, SO thai
you can sit in your office and show
your prospects on an aerial photograph
just what his property is and what the
development is that is going on arounc
him"
Mr. MacCracken declared that avia.
ton is here as means of transporta.
ton and communication, and as such i
will affect real estate values both urbar
and rural, and that it will affect thu
way real estate operators do business.
Mr.. Warren, in his discussion of thu
pricing of apartments, states that peo
pie buy apartments in very much thu
same way as they do theater tickets
They will pay more for a theater sea
in the center of the orchestra than the!
will for one on the side of the balcony
he finds. So it is in buying an apart
ment, he declares, since one apartment
will be worth more than another o
the same size in the same building
depending upon the floor on which it j
located and depending upon its expo
sure. He Celebrates upon the point t.
show that the pricing of an apartment
is not merely mathematical problem
