BARRIERS TO GOLD FLOW
OPPOSED BY KREUGER

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, May 16.-Ivar Kreuger,
president Of Kreuger & Toll, the Swed-
ish Match Co., ETC., and an authority
on international finance, in an address
before the Chicago Industrial Club last
night, expressed an optimistic view of
world trade and his confidence in the
ability Of bankers to solve the exchange
and transfer problems, provided that
creditor nations do not place too many
artificial barriers against the normal
flow Of gold and its use as basis for
credit 49,.
1.-THE practice, as now followed in
some countries" he said, "is to make the
note circulation and interest policy more
independent Of the stock of gold than
before the war. This is a change of
far-reaching importance. It places an
immense power In the hands of central
banks of the creditor countries and re-
moves to a great extent one of the chief
advantages always claimed for the gold
standard system-that Of being fool
proof"

Then I will put you in the
hands of Georgette. She will
show you to your dressing
rooms, and see that you are
comfortable. Such things as
you are to show will be brought
TO you. Come"
In the hall they were met by
a jolly, little, round dumping
of a woman in the uniform of
a black dress with white cuffs
and collar they had seen out
side.
This is Georgette," Alphonse
explained, with an amused
laugh. THE proud pigeon

with a gesture of outspread

Raquel noticed girls, women
of various ages, of varied but
pronounced coloring. fitting
through the hall. A small
group of them had gathered at
the end of the hall, staring
unashamed at her and at
Greta. They chartered. tossed
their heads, shrugged their
shoulders.
Disturbed by their chatter,
Alphonse turned.

They flushed and darted,
like a covey of quail. through
doors out of sight.
Raquel and Greta learned
they were to share one of the
large dressing rooms. This
room was lined with mirrors.
There were two chaise-lounges
against opposite walls. No other
furniture. Not even a chair,
nor a table.
THE robes are to bring. The

CHAPTER Al

Raquel followed Greta into
an elevator that reminded her
Of an ornate bird-cage. Greta
pressed a button. The cage
mounted slowly, magically. By
the same magic it stopped.
They disembarked into a
small room barren of furnish
ings except for a desk under
a window. Yes, and a carpet.
A carpet like brown leaves that
have hidden away under the
snow until Springtime.
The man sitting behind the
desk had only one arm. There
were many medals and bright,
colored ribbons on his chest,
like the one who ran the eleva-
tor in the Continental. He
pressed a button on the desk.
A bell rang musically, some
where beyond.
Another moment and a double
door at the back of the small
room parted noiselessly to ad-
nit young woman in a tight
black dress with starched col
lar and cuffs of glossy white
ness.
She seemed to slide forward
without effort. Her eyes had
engulfed Greta and Raquel at
a glance.
Good morning." she said,
tonelessly. Won't you come
in?" She turned toward the
open doors.
"Whadda you think?" Greta
whispered. "She got us just
like that. Did you see her
turn the old welcome mat over
on us?"
Inside one walked over more
woven leaves. Ankle-deep they
seemed. There was only an
occasional piece of furniture
along the broad high hall, and
yet it seemed filled. The walls
gave that effect. They we're the
color of everything lovely under
the sun, and yet they were no
color.
Some little dump" muir
INJURED Greta. Wonder when
the organ starts to play"
The way led into room
twice as large as the sand
room Raquel had found so
overpowering in the house of
the Bosarts in New York. Here
the carpet-like strewn leaves
took on a deeper tone. The
walls were even more alive.
Long. low benches, with carved
legs and deep cushions of vel,
vet, brown-green like moss,
