 DO you mind if we don't? Even the dancing's synthetic--in a place like this. What about a breath Of air? Suppose We drive on to the Country Club? We can make it in an hour"

 In spite of her pert demeanor she was not quite sincere. In the short time sne had known him, vivienne had found Channing delightful.

Hang it all, He wished the world would give him a break. But there wasn't a Chinaman's chance of explaining to Aileen. There was no point in kidding himself. She'd never marry him.
 Meanwhile, perched on a high legged stool at the bar of the Mou- lin Rouge, Nivienne slipped a drink. From the cafe adjoining, the rhyth- mic wall of a saxophone drifted in to tempt her to dance with her com- panion. Through the doorway Viv- ienne could see q dozen couples moving in slow syncopation with the music's dreamy tempo. The lights were soft, with .clandestine glow.

 Many Murderers
 Hamp Draper. head of the convict department said approximately 10~ per cent of the list are serving for murder. A good many more are serving long sentences for second degree murder and burglary.
 We try to give the Christmas paroles 10 prisoners who have served a long time and who have no friends to help them" Draper said.
 While less than ten per cent Of the prison population of the state will be given freedom, Christmas will bring it's portion of cheer to those who are kept within the walls. There will be no work.
 Special menus will be prepared in each prison kitchen and there will be entertainments furnished during the day.

Not any man?" he asked curi- ously.
 You wouldn't" Nivienne told him. She's too wise, or perhaps too stupid. You'd be bored to death with a brainless doll but 1 can't conceive of you interested in a cal- culating woman.'

FIRE RAZES HOME WHILE
 OWNER IS BUYING GIFTS
Family See Apparatus Respond to Alarm and Later Find Their
 House Destroyed.

James Rossitta of 319 Rocky Hill avenue and his family had two thrills on Saturday evening, one of them the thrill that comes 70 every one seeing the fire apparatus dash ing through the-crowded treets of the city, and the other about an hour later when the family returned home from their Christmas shop ping trip and found that their homo had been destroyed by fire. The fam fly lost much personal property. clothes, jewelry and above all many wrapped-up Christmas presents that were to be mailed to relatives and friends today.
 The fire was discovered by per son passing in an automobile, and an alarm vas rung. The fremen made a quick trip 10 the scene, de- spite one of the worst Saturday nrght traffic conditions in many months. The fire had gotten such a start that little except the wooden walls of the frame structure could be saved
 The fire is believed to have start ed from an overloaded kitchen stove which ignited woodwork. The damage to the house IS ,stimated at about s2,5O0 and to contents about s1,000, with partial insurance.
 Neighbors assisted the family Saturday night and last night.
