A vision of Tod Jordan's dark, good
looks rose in her memory.
"But, Celia!" Lisi turned laughing

put in. He explained to Celia that
he played juvenile roles and pre-
ferred drama, though he had ap-
peared in musical comedies.
The luncheon was appetiEing.
Celia devoted herself to the
dreamed sweetbread and salad and
let the others talk.
It was interesting to hear this
familiar gossip of the stage. Some
how she had expected an actor to
be a more glamorous person than
Richard Brandon CarutherS.
AT $3.50 they left the restaurant.
Dicky was to report at the theater
at 4. They all climbed into the
coupe and Lisi drove toward Broad
way.
Celia dared not admit it~was her
first view of that famous thorough
fare. Her father and grandmother
apparently had little interest in the
theater.
TN the afternoon sun she thought
4 the great electric signs looked
hideous and the street had 9 cheap;
dismal air. It was very hot. Curl
looking men and women passed.
Caruthers left them in front of a
theater, which to Celia was one of
the ugliest. a.

Celia replied that she liked Lisi,

again soon. Then LiSi departed and
Celia entered the house.
The next day was dreary, but on
Saturday Mrs. Mitchell and Celia
drove to Westminster to attend a

which Mrs. Mitchell served as a

"VKTHO is itP" Celia demanded
w eagerly. She held the French
telephone close to her ear.
The gentleman" at the other end
OF the line was a butler, explaining
that Miss Lisi Duncan wished to
speak to Miss Mitchell. A moment
later Celia heard Lists gay voice.

"Oh, Tn ell right" Surely. Celia

BUSINESS coming
HELD OVERCOME
Lusk Declares 80 Per Cent OF
Existing Commercial
Areas So Used.

Evidence that under the original
coming of Washington too much Of
the total area was zoned for commercial
use is seen by Rufus Lusk In figures
just compiled as q part Of the COM
munity survey of the washington Board
of Trade, which reveal that only 80
per cent of the existing first CONNER
cial zones are actually so used.
The actual amount of property here
in actual commercial use Is close to
so feet for each 100 inhabitants, 1t was
reported by Lusk, director of the survey
for the trade body. A survey Of the
amount Of commercial property in use
In AZ towns was found to be so feet
per 100 inhabitants, he points out.
Business Use Proportion Varies.
The amount of commercial property
that is in use for business varies with
different sections Of washington, 1t
was found In the congested section,
taking In the territory from Pennsyl-
vania avenue to K street and from
Seventh to Seventeenth streets, more
than 10 per cent Of all the frontage
is in commercial use.
In the Southeast section less than
10 per cent of the frontage zoned COM
mercial Is used for business; In the
Northeast, almost IL per cent; in the
Southwest, 80 per cent, and in the
Northwest outside Of the congested
business section, more than 80 per cent
Is in commercial use.
"These figures" said Mr.. Lusk, "in-
dictate that when the city was FIRST
zoned too much property was Zoned
commercial This does not mean that
In some sections there may not be
need for more commercial property, but
it does mean that miles and miles of
streets have been zoned first CONNER
cial, most Of them for 10 years, and
are not in use for the purpose for which
they were Zoned.
1T is obvious that coming could not
be expected to equal exactly the amount
needed, but it would appear that in
certain parts of town the experts who
laid out the original coming map were
too liberal with commercial frontage.
Cites Chicago Report.
"The Chicago Regional Planning As
ISOLATION, in making study OF the
amount of business frontage used in
43 towns, including Chicago, found that
on an average so feet of commercial
property Is actually used for each 100
inhabitants. In our survey we found
that this was almost true in Washing
ton, as there was $4,000 feet of COM
mercial frontage actually used CONNER
cially, which is close to SO feet for
each 100 inhabitants.
These figures were obtained by get
ting the total commercial frontage in
the city from the coming Office and
then actually measuring on the ground
the frontage IN USE"
