 New York, Dec 23.-(UP)- Fresh selling depressed the stock market today and halted Gle ad- vance in bond prices of the past four trading sessions.
 While there was no increase In the volume of trading, stocks were persistently weak through the first four hours of trading as concerted selling pressure centered on Q va riety of miscellaneous issues.
 Steel common was particularly weak, dropping more than ? points to 3S, or within striking distance of, the bear market low of 36, es- tablished last week. Railroad lead- CTS like New York Central, Penn sylvania, Atchison and Southern Pacific were depressed and tax-loss selling appeared in low priced is- sues like Continental Shares, Trans america, National Cash Register, General Theatres Equipment and Radio K eith- Orpheum, which sold at or below their worst levels in history.
 Among the more spectacular movers, Auburn Auto skidded 10 points, more than wiping out its 5-8 point advance of the pre- vious session. General Motors was weak and in the motor accessory division, Electric Auto-Lite was un- der severe pressure. Homcstakc Mining lost its sharp advance of the previous session.
 Among gilt-edge issues, Ameri- can Telephone lost more than 8 points and Western Union nearly as much on selling reported to be for the account of New England inter- ests caught in the series of bank failures there. Telephone sold with in less than 2 points of its low of the year of 113 1.4, established in last weeks selling.
 Turnover up to 1890 D. m. ap- proximated a million shares, about the same volume as in the corre- spending period of yesterdays scs- sion, At 1880 D. m. Dow-Jones stock averages showed q loss of 2.89 points to 76.66 for the industrlals; q loss of 1.60 points to 34.64 for the rails and of 0.83 point to 31.65 for the utilities.
 The slowing of the advance fin | the bond market and mildly renc- | tionary tendencies had considerable influence on stocks and discouraged considerable support in the stock market that might otherwise have developed.

an air of disrnissing the younger
girl.
Her sister, Mrs. Amberton, was a
highly colored woman with a richly
massaged look. She might have
been 35-she might have been ten
years older. One couldn't tell.
She prattled on in an affected
voice of their stay at Nice, the
Charming men" they had met on
the boat, the terrible time they had
had getting through the customs.
And where's the darling boy?"
she asked at last.
"Clive was so sorry. He had to
go into town on business. He will
be here for dinner"
Mrs. Amberton sighed in salts
faction. She cast an arch look at
Tressa who ignored it.
This dear child" Mrs. Amberto1
purred, stretching out her hand to-
ward her sister, "has been SO sought
after-so frantically wooed-by half
dozen darling boys that she's in
SAD need OF a rest.
Dancing till all hours. Every hu-
man soul we knew seemed to be in
Paris just before we left"
Tressa lit a cigaret and stared out
Of the window.
Lets change" she said, abruptly.
I'm dead. Darling Eva" this with
an abrupt change of manner as
she turned to Mrs. Cleespaugh,
you're so sweet to have us here!"
Mrs. Cleespaugh looked properly
grati1ed. 'Liane, dear, would you
mind showing Tressa and Fanny to
their rooms? I've given them
places in the new wing. It's a
great deal more comfortable. Lame
and her mother are next to me in
the old rooms"
Tressa arched her brow. Mrs.
Amberton said politely, "Ah, Miss
Barrett's mother is here them"
Eyes. She's been very i'll and I
persuaded her to come here until
she's strong. You must meet her
when she can see guests. Such a
sweet person. I'm so found of her"
Lame was leading the way. She
felt the visitors suspicion and dis
like and stiffened herself to meet
1t. Tressa said as she left them,
SO kind Of you. Miss Barrett"
1t was the tone she might have
used to an upper servant.

Fanny exclaimed artlessly, IN,
dear, you're like something in the
colored advertising pages"
Tressa glanced at herself in the
long mirror of the door. This rae
is rather good" she observed. Hel
long-lashed green eyes had the
sleepy look of the well-fed cat. She
laughed again. Must get some 9TH
ers like it for my trousseau."
Fanny looked arch. MY dear,

Tressa's smile was confident
Don't worry, old thing. I'll surely

doesn't Eva have a properly trained
French maid to turn over to US?
l wouldn't dare ask one of those
colleens to hook me up. They'd be
sure to tangle their big fingers in
the lace and rip it to bits"
I'm simply no good at it either, u

Call that girl and have her hook

the young woman turns mulish."
She stood there in single brief
garment of chiffon and hand run
lace as Eileen answered. The maid
stared frankly at the beautiful fig
ure in the chemise. Send Miss
Barrett to me, that's a good girl,
Tressa said lightly. cat once. It's
rather important"
When Lame arrived Tressa had
slipped the exquisite beige lace
frock over her head and stood eye
ing its artful simplicity, the man
ner in which it prisoned her curves
and flowed away into lines of sheer
innocence.
"Oh, Miss Barrett, do hook me
up, won't you?" Tressa asked in a
drawing voice.
Certainly" With dignity Lame
managed the intricate fastenings
She stood up. Us that alp" Lanes
face was like a white mask. Her
manner was chill, inpersonal.
Thanks so much. No lady's maid
could have done better"
Their glances met, clashed.
You're quite welcome" Lame
met the insolence with studied I'M
concern. But as she left the room
her heart was hammering with
anger. 1t was to be war then. War
to the teeth!
7 lane stood like trapped young
IL thing in one corner of the Ii
brary. Van Robard faced her, grim
in his black and white, his splen-
did head arrogantly lifted.
You've got to hear me out" he
was saying doggedly.
Lame stammered. "The others
are coming. Miss Iord-Muriel-
they'll be in any minute. They
mustn't find U.s." She cast a de-
Spairing glance aruond.
He said, coldly resolute. They're

to stay. I've been trying for months
to explain. That's why I came to-
night"
The young girl drew herself UP
proudly. There's nothing to ex-
plain"
ooh, My sweet" Was there q
break in his deep voice? Lame
steeled herself against it, against
the charm this man held for her
Across the hall the radio was wall
ing mournfully:
"What-is-this - called
love?
This-funny-thing called love?"
The girl ground her nails int
her palms. She repeated: There.

there?' She even smiled.
