A Worried Girl

Tom noticed the worry in her
face when he took her to din
ner that evening.
"It isn't just the fear Of
losing my position. she ad.
mitted across the restaurant
table. Il can always get some
thing to do at one of the large
stores. I've studied antiques
and Oriental art. It's the
place itself. I love it, Tom
You come to love a place when
you see it growing every day.
OF course Jeanette was re-
sponSible for it's success in the
first place; she got the right
people coming there. But it's
going on its own now. If she
wasn't to come in once a year
I could keep it going-yes, and
49, increasing.
Her cheeks were flushed, her
eyes glowed with earnestness.
Looking at her across the table
like this, Tom reflected that 1t
was a long time since he had
seen her so alive. After the stag
gering blow of Ken's marriage
she had seemed to withdraw
from the world. Tom mentally
blessed the frivolous little shop.
Look here-why don't you
buy it and run it yourself?" he
asked suddenly.
She flashed a smile at him.
THANKS for the compliment!
MY savings would just about
pay All Ling's salary for a
month! Oh, well, there's moth
ing I can do. When Jeanette's
tired of a thing-She'S tired of a
thing. And maybe it isn't so
black as it seems. She might
sell out to someone who'd want
me to keep on managing the
place. Maybe I won't have to
give the darling place up"

Both of these forms are coz
rect; it depends in what cir
cumstance we use them. The
first one, for example, would
be correct to sign to a letter
to a friend who is not an espe-
cially close friend. To an eSpe-
cially close friend we would, Of
course, probably sign only our
first name. But the first
signature we would use when
we write to a friend whom
we do not know very well, but
who, we are sure, knows our
formal married name.
The second signature is cor
rect to use when we are writ
ing to a person whom we do not
know very we'll, and who, we are
sure, does not know our formal
married name. For instance.
this would be the perfect form
for a mother to use when she
writing a note to teacher
of one of her children.
AS a signature to a business
letter, we would use the more
formal every truly yours" Like
this:

Register another triumph for Richard Barthelmess.
 Coming close on the heels of such superlative productions as "Son of the Gods and "The Dawn Patrol. ," his newest First National Vitaphone feature, The Lash" which opened last night at the Strand theater and will be presented again today, Tues day and Wednesday, has again es- tablished him not only as one Of the finest actors on the screen-whlch he has been for many years-but most certainly as one of the most consistent box office stars.
 The Lash" has everything. There is adventure and romance, drama and comedy. history and fiction and all that any group of individuals might select as the requisites of an all around good picture.
 There is hard riding in The Lash" and romantic love scenes 10 make two sighs grow where only one grew before. And the Barthel- mess of "Son of the Gods" and "The Dawn Patrol' has never looked bet ter or handsomer. Those who missed romance in "The Dawn Pa trol" will have their wishes more than repaid in 'The Lash,' Some of the most beautiful love scenes have been incorporated in this yer sion of the Bartlett novel of early California.
