CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE


ATOTE BY MAIZE BROWN TO
IN HER CORRESPONDENCE
SCHOOL INSTRUCTOR: There
are several things in the foregoing,
Mr.. Instructor, of which I would
like you to take especial cognizance
in your criticism of this narrative
as fiction story.
AS it is all fact with only form
II fiction, the development of the
story has been hampered by the
necessity Of sticking to the facts. III
pure fiction the author can make
his characters act logically and ne
is hampered only by The limitations
If his imagination.
But I have found to my SORROW
that folk in real lie do NOT act
logically-did that ever occur to
gou?
For instance, take this girl,
sheila: could any one in these mod
srn times conceive of q girl feeling
herself eternally disgraced because
ner birth had not been according
10 matrimonial Marquis of Queens
curry rules? Not on your lifel Your
real modern girl would look upon
It as a distinction--so different. so
bohemian. don't you know.
Now, with WILDER, it is different
ne never emerged from the Gay
Nineties when men and women
svaded the conventions as much as
obey do today, but didn't boast
about it because the badge of
respectability was worn only by
hose who weren't found out.
Now they hire a press agent to
broadcast the glad tidings and cash
IN with a lucrative vaudeville en-
yagement or beat all boXofhce rec
ords with lectures on Sex Shall
Not Be Denied"
No, Mr.. Instructor, WILDER is just
about a quarter of a century behind
the times and Sheila is a throw
Oakland that's some of the ma
terial I have to work with. It's
discouraging, but I've got to make
the best OF it.
Another thing = and this may
sound funny-but, do you know,
haven't at this minute the Slight
est idea how this story is going to
end. You see, it's being written as
1t develops in real life, and am
only about two jumps behind the
action
Are Andy and Mercy going to
make q go of it? Search me. Is
Sheila going to get over her OBJ
session and take Joe Smedley back?
I don't know. but have hopes. Who
killed Lena Swartz? Ask me an
other.
I have a dark suspicion that Mr..
Sheridan knows, but so far he
hasn't let me in on it. Wouldn't it
be a joke if he left me fat and I'd
have to end this story with a mys-
terry unsolved? Oh, well, that would
be something new in fiction. any
Does anything develop out of the
advertisement Sheilas real mother
put in The Times seeking the
whereabouts of the baby she gave
away twenty-five years ago? Well,
there is something doing about that,
as you shall see in this chapter,

Preparations Are Made fol Christmas Observance
 in Holy Land

BETHLEHEM, Dec. 24. - The Church Fathers today solemnly made preparations for the celebra- tion of Christmas Day, thankful that the disorders which a few years ago left bloody stain over the Holy Land, have ceased.
 The Latin Patriarch accompan- jed by clergy, escorted by mounted police, came to Bethlehem today. The trip was made by motor, a great change from the olden days when the Patriarch preceded the Prelates mounted on charger.
 Tonight the Patriarch and his suite and congregation will proceed to the old Franciscian convent, just north of the Church of the Nativ- ity, for midnight Pontifical Mass.
 Anslicans will sing Christmas hymns in the Greek convent op- posite the F'ranciscian Convent.

OUR ADVICE IS DON'T"

The paper tells that Col Lindbergh is seriously considering making another ocean flight from New York to Paris over the same course that he made with the Spirit of St Louis. Our advice to the Colonel is don't wreck would mess up Q wonderful reputation and the risk of very useful citizen and happy bridegroom is too great. It would be like painting the lily for Col. Lindbergh to attempt to add to the glory that is his, and we suggest to him that it would be well for him to let good enough alone. If there were any real life and death purpose to be served by such trip it would be different. But long as there could be no glory in it and there so many other ways for a young bridegroom to have fun we suggest that We" lay off the French trip.

 That will be welcome news to those
 that pay income tax a small percentage

 Yes, and it ought to have been welcome news to everyone whether he paid income taxes not. Every dollar cut off of the corporation and income taxes. just like every other tax reduction is import ant and beneficial to the whole people Money taxed from the pockets of the people, any part of the people, has tendency to slow up business and industry. It ought to be taken from those who it only when it is needed for meeting the just costs of government or for carrying on necessary public works and matters. Tax reduc- tion is and ought to be, always welcome to those who work.

 That is how we are able to have out adventures"
 Wasn't it lucky you lived in oul house and we could be asked to share them with you?" John said
 Glad you think so, glad you think so" the Little Black Clocs smiled. He put one of his funny dull hands on each of the children and, looking at them with hi broad, smiling face, he went on:
 Yes, I'm mighty glad you think so. But then I do not wish to take all the credit. It was because of the magic that was given to me.
 T am so proud to belong to the Clock family anyway"
 "Yes, you were going to tell us about outdoor clocks keeping well, Peggy said.
 "To be sure" said the Little Black Clock. When there are storms in the winter the clocks that are outside of buildings have to have their lights turned on during the daytime so that the heat from the electricity will melt any snow or ice that might interfere with the hands moving.
 Then there are regular clock doctors who see that clocks are kep. oiled-clocks must have their own particular kind of nourishment too!

Christmas!

Desire comes before possession. To have thing you first must want it. Since possession is essen- tial to enjoyment the instrumentality which stimuli lates desire in the handmaiden of happiness
 Speaking recently before the Advertising Club of Seattle Walter w. R. May City Advertising Manager of the Portland Oregonian, said:
 The average American family owns an
 automobile, radio and all modern home com
 forts because the newspaper through its
 advertising columns, created a desire for
 such things. You cannot find reader
 of any other form of advertising who does
 not read newspapers. good newspaper is
 integral part of any community. The
 merchant who aovertises in such paper is
 introduced into the home circle by a re-
 spected friend"
 The mercant should be as careful in buying his newspaper space as in choosing his friends. The main difference is that he expects his friends to be loyal to him while he wants his newspaper to be loyal to his community.
 And that is not difference, after all.
