Loves Reawakening The Story of Wife's Triumph Over Jealousy
 By ADELE GARRISON

needed confirmation, I received it when a quick glance across the floor showed me Philip Veritzen standing alone against a pillar and eyeing us intently.
 q am sorry but I do not approve I told the young man with a manner that I am afraid Mary and her mates would have described as "snooty."
 His eyes widened with astonish- ment.
 You do not approve" he repeat ed. But surely you do not under stand. What reasons" "I am sorry" I said perfunctorily again, but I cannot give you my reasons at this time. But they do not necessarily mean that our niece will refuse your offer. Her uncle is her guardian. and will have the last word. He will let you know"
 "But-I am afraid you do not un- derstand" He was distinctly "snooty" himself now. "This offer of mine cannot wait. The casting director is holding this part for Miss Mary as it is. Almost all the others have been tilled.'
 Cameron Betrays His Motive
 "How can he be holding it, when you only saw our niece dance to- night for the first time?' l asked with apparent innocence and sup pressed smile at seeing the betray- ing start he gave. He had been so obsessed with the idea of doing Philip Nertzen's bidding that he had forgotten to be consistent.
 II" he began as might stam- mering schoolboy then collected his wandering wits with an admirable effort, and smiled down at me.
 "Your niece is so very, very charming" he said, that it is not strange I used her name without authority. I should have said that the casting director is holding this part for my approval. because other applicants have not suited me. The role is not the leading feminine one, but the dance with me is quite a long one, and I must have a certain type of girl, and an exceptional dancer. Miss Mary fills both re- quirements, therefore l am anxious to secure her But as I said before, I cannot wait. The part must be filed"
 If you cannot wait until day after tomorrow. I am afraid you will have to fill it with someone else" answered, firmly, "because we can- not give you our decision until then. It is not a matter to be decided lightly, and everybody will sleep most of the day tomorrow" I made a mental reservation on my own account. for I had plans which would bring me out Of bed before daylight. But MT. Cameron took me at my word and yielded with more reluctance than grace.
 "I will try to persuade the cast ing director to wait until then" he said. but I caught the involuntary glance he sent toward Philip Verit- zen, and understood who the "cast- ing director" really was.

A Few Moments With the Self Sufficient Mir. Cameron Convinces Madge That His Dancing Offer
 to Mary Was Prompted by phiI Veritzcu

I could not blame Mary for her patent enjoyment of her dance with aaColin Cameron. This was my first thought as the young talkie star led me through the waltz which the musicians were sounding. The man was, I conceded, the best dancer with whom I ever had 'trod a measure" although l Loyalty and truthfully-told myself that l much preferred dancing with Dicky whose steps exactly suit mine. But that knowledge did not prevent me from enjoying to the utmost the dance through which young MT. Cameron .s-was effortlessly guiding me.
 @s~ May l tell you that you dance beautifully. Mrs. Graham" he said when we had half-circled the room. .-~- Thank you" I returned demurely -'but that is not the reason you asked me to dance. You want to ask me something, do you not?" ssa His poise forsook him for the fraction of second. He halted on ~ turn, and holding me off looked down at me with plainly startled eyes.
 a,A ''How did you" he began, then swung me into step again, with a little forced smile on his lips.
 How did I know?" I answered lightly. "Ah. that I must not tell you if you cannot guess"
 ss-- But I can." He was himself K again. You were talking with Miss Mary. She told you of the offer l made her did she not?"
 sss-- There was a smugness in his tone which made me long to slap him. It was evident that he felt like king extending a scepter.

 s44 There was an unconscious inter- .rogative infection in his voice, and T was conscious that he was fur lively scrutinizing me. All at once II was certain of what had been only a conjecture. This sleek youth was in Philip Veritzen's confidence.

BY JEAN PATOU

U JEAN l A oo Paris, Oct. 17.-Until this season, when describing the neckline or decollete of an evening model, it was
 usually mentioned tersely as being
 V or U-shaped. Today there is no set mode in necklines, although you
 may trace a guiding theme or prin- ciple throughout any collection of evening creations.
 Decolletes are decidedly uncon- ventional this fall, but this lack of conventionality is always discreet. | Too bare a back, in other words,
 can never spell distinction or poise and while backs are inclined to be | more uncovered than ever before. the effect is invariably attenuated by some detail.
 The present mode is astonishingly | diversified in regard to line and de-
 tail. In evening fashions, the decollete is unquestionably an ele-
 ment which lends itself to the great
 est fantasy. It is feature which can lend or detract from the char acter of a gown.
 A Fashion of the Moment A symmetrical neckline, provided 1 it is not banal, lends a certain air of equilibrium to any gown. On
 the other hand. symetrical decolletes are more frequently seen. This is
 a theme which a style creator can
 work on almost infinitely, but I
 think it calls for a great sense of
 moderation, as it is but a feeting fashion feature.
 The recent vogue for leaving one shoulder entirely bare has struck
 me as an exaggeration of a style charming in itself if used with dis
 cretion. A single shoulder strap
 will establish that look fequilibri-
 um as we'll as distinction that can
 never spoil the novel effect. Add a scarf to an evening gown
 and you will lend 1t, as well as the
 decollete, an air of chic devoid of | eccentricity. The infinite variations
 of the way in which the scarf can l be worn is a priceless aid to a
 clever woman, enabling her to con-
 vey the impression of different
 dress with each change.
 1 The scarf. however must always
 form an integral part of the gown.
 Its color and texture must be the
 same to ensure perfect harmony and
 not give the impression of a last
 minute addition.

WHIP At D. c.

Departing for a fleeting minute
from his announced decision to
leave Washington severely alone,
Senator Cole Blease Of South
Carolina arose in the Senate to-
day to call attention once more
to liquor conditions in the Capital.
He made no flaming speech,
however. He merely inserted in
the Congressional Record a recent
magazine article by DR.. Clarence

Board of Prohibition. Temperance
and Morals, entitled How Dry Is
Washington?"
Accompanying the article we're

Published reports that Amos

States attorney for Maryland, is
being seriously considered by
President Hoover as a candidate
for the chief iusticeship Of the
District Supreme Court are en-
tirely unfounded, it was declared
today at the White House.
Woodcock's name has not been

Is not known at the White House,
II was said.
Woodcock has been reported as
enjoying the backing of prohibi-
ton organizations because of his
dry law enforcement record. He
is regarded as one of the ablest
lawyers of the Mable Walker Will
lebrandt regime in the Justice
Department.
The elimination Of Woodcock's

STAGGER HOURS
WIN FAVOR Or

Stagger hours for District en-
ployes will probably be put In
effect soon. it was learned at the
District Building today, in line
with President Hoover's proposals.
While neither the District Com.
miSsioners nor members Of the
Public Utilities Commission would
indicate their attitude, it is known
that members Of the utilities COM
mission favor any plan which win
aid the street railway companies
in bettering service.
Director Of Traffic William II.
Harland has already started the
plan in his office, some clerks re-
porting at 8 q. m, and working
until $3.50 p. m, and others
coming In at 8 q. M, and work
ing until 4:30 p. m.
In rome departments, the plan
would not be practical at this
time. heads have stated, due to
the rush to get automobile license
tags issued and collections Of per-
Sonal taxes cared for. This Situa-
toin, however. will not exist after
January 81. the deadline for pro-
curing the 1890 tags.
Department heads generally are
In favor Of the Stagger plan and
when the question is taken up
officially by the Commissioners
probably will make their recon-.
mendationS approving it.
The plan, it is agreed, will help
