PROPERTY A LIABILITY
And so Chicago property sub
ject to taxes became a liability
and not an asset. This unhappy
condition of Over-mOrtgaging the
future applies to almost every
part of this country. But it is in
Chicago alone that a group of
taxpayers are found who are
sturdy and courageous enough to
stand by their constitutional
rights!
The only way bOndhOlders and
mOrtagagees can save the secur-
ity for their bonds and mOrtga-
ges when taxpayers do not pay
is to pay the taxes and take the
property under tax deeds. That
is one thing certain they are net
going to do. 1t is ridiculous to
assume that bOndhOlders and
mortgages are going to take
title to said property and thus
place themselves in the same un-
happy position Chicago Taxpayers
are now in, that is, deliver them
selves into the power of political
tax racketeers and have their
property in turn cOnfiscate BY
taxation!
Since the use of automobiles
became quite general in this
country, the big automobile con-
Germs have used every possible
urge to have municipalities, coun-
ties and states vote more bonds
for roads and streets. CONNER
cial clubs, ROtarians, Kiwanis, Ii
Ons and even ministerial groups
have pleaded for more and bigger
bonds for highway construction.
It seems that they regarded as .
huge jOke-this mOrtgaging Of
the futre-On the babes of today
and that are about to be born!

G[ORIF7ING
 YOURSELF:
BY ALICIA HAR7 @ O03O BY NEA SERVICE. INC.

You may have been hearing about the Paris mannequins who left spectators gasping because they wore no stockings with their beautiful evening clothes and let their little toes stick right out through their toe-less evening sandals. Well, they enameled their nails black, silver, gold or bright blue or green, according to whatever they were wearing. And in the smart shops now you can find these same toe-less evening sandals. But I have sneaking idea few American women will be exposing black and gold toenails when they dance!
 But, certainly the vogue is grow ing to color fingernails. Gay reds, if not exotic black and gold or silver.
 This is, or should be, a distinct ly leisure hour habit or fad. Ger tainly there is something com mendable about the beautifully kept but delicately tinted nail for business.
 But when evening comes, and parties, there seems to be some thing quickening in the sight of a beautifully gowned and meticu lOuSly groomed woman With her lovely nails scarlet. You may or may not like them that way. But you may as well recognize the fad and it might give you a lilt to try it out.
 You now can get nail enamel to match your particular lipstick and rouge coloring. It comes in many kinds of red. There is a medium bright, geranium kind of red which is very smart and of all the gay reds, probably the most popu- lar. It is a color for the sophisti- cate. for the woman who uses this tone lipstick and rouge.
 Then there is a deep, rich car mine type of fingernail enamel, for the vivid, arresting brunette. It is very, very exotic and you should think twice before using it and especially make sure it is the type that goes we'll with your lipstick and rouge.
 There are many new colored enamels which I have neglected to mention for the simple reason that where one woman will care for nails that match her frocks, 10,- 900 will want them natural or deli cately red.

clothes; men in soft fedoras and men in gleaming top hats young women, bare headed, wearing rich evening wraps. To Gypsy's dis torted imagination it seemed that the whole street was gaping at her. Now she knew what she had done. She wanted to run.
 It was terrifying. At that instant when it seemed the whole world was sea of eyes staring at her and escape was impossible Mrs by.
 You'd better take your friend home!" she said icily Heres my car Good night"
 She turned and the liveried theater attendant, who had gone from crimson to pale lavender try ing to check the commotion, helped her into the motor car which had drawn to the curb. Mrs Langley's s own fair fingers closed the door with a resounding thwack.
 Gypsy looked at Crosby.
 "Here!" he said, slipping a bill into the starters hand: Help me out of this. Get me cab.''
 How it could have been done so quickly must remain 8 mystery. .. From the honking din of vehicles a taxicab approached. Crosby grabbed the girls arm and pushed her forward.
 "Get in!" he ordered.
 Gypsy could not have held back even if she had wanted to. She sank into the far corner of the cab, grateful for the darkness. Crosby followed. The door shut after, them and the taxi lunged forward
 It could not go far. Before and behind them the street was jammed. Now that the center of interest had been removed the crowd on the sidewalk struggled forward again.
 Mingled with relief was Gypsy McBride's consciousness of Alan's anger, of what she had done.
 He was sitting lat the far side of the seat. His eyes were fixed straight ahead; his face was pale. She knew he was furious. Only once before had Gypsy seen him look like that. The time they had been walking on the East Side and found man beating cringing fox terrier. Alan had interfered and the affair had ended in police court. Outstanding in Gypsy's mem- ory of the episode had remained the vision of Alan's blazing dark eyes and white face.
 Now he was like that again. She was sure he knew that she was watching him but still he did not speak. Gypsy moved uncomfortably. She stared out the cab window.
 To regret the incident before the theater was one thing. Repentance was another, and Gypsy's indigna- tion still blazed. She tapped one foot angrily against, the cab door. Why didn't he explain? Why

The man Sue had recognized was the bank teller Jack had said was an accomplice of Sybirs. Sue real | ized that it would be wiser for her to keep out of the entire tangle and let Jack work on the basis of his own discoveries. But the spun gold of Barbara's yellow hair, the liquId melody of her voice, came drifting back. Moonlight and stardust and the first violets of spring. Soft winds and story-book princesses and the song of a violin that trailed away to fairyland! All of these were the Barbaras! And ever since there had been an Eve in Eden, men had felt their spell Maybe Jack was feeling it now The lure of Sues own blue eyes and rose-fiushed skin and the clinging charm of the blue bla ok curls that clustered at her neck was forgotten.
 | She was a girl. And so was Barbara. And she must get even even even!
 But as suddenly Sue knew that she couldn't interfere. She could not hurt Jack to advance her own cause. She couldn't speak to this man and confront him. And with it came the sick fear that perhaps she might have interfered with Jacks testimony and sent her father to prison if she had spoken to him!
 She stopped in the street at that thought.
 "Oh, what's the matter with me?" she asked silently. 'The moon hasn't tumbled out of the sky and the drug store on the corner still has the same 98-cent toilet arti- cle display it had when I went up the street, and Corrinne's the same but l might have chased |. away the evidence But she had made up her mino that she would be aloof. Jack could have told her that it was necessary to take Barbara to din- ner, she reasoned.
 And under the cold fury she asked Corrinne if she could borrow some clothes to wear the next day. Jack was familiar with all of her things. They had style and charm, but Corrinne had those added touches which luxury can buy.
 There was a daring orange dress with great black fur cuffs ana a throw collar that had all the in- ItFlSue Ol ClTce, WHICH OOrTlnne had bought and never worn. Some how she didn't want it after she had left Harry. The small orange nat that matched it was audacious and just a trifle defiant.
 "They would put you in the at titude you want to be in. Wear them,' Corrinne told Sue. "Only I'll bet frosted cookie to plain one that by morning you'll want to be sweet and forgiving in blue"
 Sue went home and tried to be cheerful for her parents sake. She had to smile and pretend. Tha! was life. Going around and : around, and up and down. and UT and down on painted roller coaster when all the time you were getting sicker every minute. But maybe sometime you would be glad that you had kept your seat instead of jumping out.

stairs Gypsy, in her own room one floor above, leaned against the door and listened to the slow, familiar footsteps as they neared the third floor landing. There was pausS. Gypsy listened. heard the door open and close, and then the house was still again. There was nothing but the half-heard, muffled dance tune from the Jenkins second floor radio.
 She waited a little longer. The radio was whining morose and time-worn tune. Gypsy recalled the of those songs of blighted love. Crosby and never wanted to see his face again. Tears blinded her. She made her way to the bed, sank upon it and hid her face in the pillows.
 At 10 o'clock the following morn ing Clara Howard, looking blond and fragile in new blue crepe, paused negligently beside Gypsy S desk
 Lend me your nail file, will you darling?" she asked sweetly. Gypsy opened her purse, took out the file and handed it to her. Miss; Howard scrutinized her own deeply tinted finger tips, carefully shaping one rosy nail more to her liking. Thanks she drawled as she laid the file on the desk. Gypsy glanced up.
 sWhy, Gypsy!" the other girl ex. claimed. What in the world is the matter? You're looking positively frightful. Aren't you well?"
 "I'm all right
 But those circles under your eyes-and you're so pale!'
 "I'm all right" Gypsy repeated. Didn't sleep very well-that's all."
 Fate chose' that precise instant for Elizabeth Futile to appear in the doorway. Miss McBride," the office executive spoke crisply, "when you can leave your work will you come into this office please ?''

didn't he say something? The whole affair was Crosby's fault. He had deliberately deceived her. Who was i that woman-the one he had in- sisted was a casual friend? Friend l indeed! The little foot tapped faster. | All right-if Alan wouldn't speak she'd show him! Gypsy put one hand on the cab door and tried to open it. She wouldn't ride in his old cab; she'd take the subway. The door opened. Gypsy made a quick movement and felt vise-like grip on her arm.
 You stay in here!" Crosby com manded. You stay in this cab!" "I'd like to know why!' Because you're going to-that's why. What do you want to do? Get the riot squad out? I should think you've done about enough for one night" You let me alone, Alan Crosby! | A fine one you are to tell me what to do.I'll do as I please!' "Well see about that!" Crosby damned the door shut again. At | the same instant the cab started | forward.
 Gypsy, considering the situation, glared at the young man. Crosby glared back. He was first to speak.
 Well" he said darkly, "I hope you're statistical"
 II hope you are!" "Do you realize that you made yourself ridiculous before a whole street full of strangers? Do you realize what you looked like?"
 Do realize-?" Gypsy de- handed Did you say do I real ize'? I suppose it was all my fault! Listen, was I the one who claimed to be spending the evening with the boys at the office? Was I the one who did that? Why didn't you tell the truth if you wanted to break date? Why didn't you say you were going out with this-this divorceen'
 Like flame famed by the wind the girls anger increased with each word. It was the Mcbride temper, quickly reused and as quickly dis pelled, which had involved her in difficulties before.
 Listen, you leave Mrs Langley out of this! How am I ever going to be able to explain to her-!'
 It was the last straw. So it was Mrs Langley whom he was think ing of! Mrs Langley to whom he was already trying to frame ex- planations! Mrs Langley with her furs and diamonds and motor cars!
 Gypsy's fingers clenched into two little fists. Allan Crosby!" she de- clared. q hate you! I never want to see your face again! I tell you I hate you!''
 It was a difference in their tenn peraments that Gypsy's temper should blaze high and then dwindle while Crosby, slower to anger, nursed smoldering resentment over long periods.
 Don't worry" he assured her, ''I'll do all in my power to see that you have your wish."
 After that they rode in stony silence. Curiosity prompted the girl once or twice to steal a glance at her companion. Not once did Crosby indicate he knew she was there.
 When at last they reached the rooming house Gypsy alighted. Without backward glance she ran up the steps to the entrance. By the time Crosby had paid the driver and received his change the girl had; entered the house and was out of sight.
 She heard him coming up the

A young girl with black hair cut short like a boys and wearing a bright green cloak paused beside Crosby, then burst into shrill, so- prano laughter.
 Gypsy was the only one who did not notice the attention she was receiving. The crowd pressing closer to see what would happen, had pushed. her squarely in front of Crosby.
 Mrs Langley took the young mans arm. Come, Alan" she said loftily. This is outrageous!''
 The. words were command Mrs Langley did not look at Gypsy Her frigid gaze refused to recognize the girls presence. Gypsy swept the other woman with a quick glance. She noted the lavish fox collar on the snowy wrap, the dazzling brace lets, the suggestion of elegance in the gown beneath the cloak the perfect titian coiffure. In particu- lar she noticed the gesture with which Mrs Langley drew her cloak

YOUR CHILDREN.

Is the Easter bunny silly story. Is Santa Claus a foolish myth? No-- neither of them are. Go on, and let the children believe in them both. Your conscience need not hurt you ih the least. unless you are one of the guild that does not believe in imagination, and intend to nip it il, the bud in your children's minds as early as possible.
 l never knew q child who, grown to manhood, looked back and re- preached his parents for allowing him to believe such fiction. on tn. contrary, he usually signs and wishes it were possible for him ever to be a., happy again.
 We shall have to get bit into pss chology here. for we older people with our feet flat on the ground have q habit of thinking that small minds, any minds, develop only by two processes, reason and memory
 The truth is that this peculiar ar. rangement of cells within our skulls needs as many ways to develop, and as many mental vitamins, so to speak, as our bodies.
 Imagination is necessary a mental vitamin as calcium containing foods are to the body
 That is why nature sees to it thai the tiny child is not robbed of this necessary process in his early years. IL is difficult for child to tell the real from the unreal. He mixes them up indiscriminate1y. His little mental pictures may or may not be fact. but they make him very happy.
 Animals Are People!
 Soon enough, say by his fifth year, nature does the sorting. As soon as he esta blishes his entity in the world of things and begins in earnest to ,-fan hi hn i'm. inn ia t<s center retires somewhat. It is still there, but that frantic process of con- crete thought beats it back.
 In the meantime these little folk have habit of chasing animals with people. Animals to them have purposes, like people. They concede to these creatures the good qualities of human beings, unless they have been Heightened. or otherwise all lowed to develop complex conccrD- ing say a dog, or cat, or a rabbit
 That rabbit should be kind. busy. a hard-worker, and artistic all in one breath is not incongruous to chil- dren. Aren't people that way toov And isn't the child grateful to this nice wise busy creature who alsu has a remarkable sense of humoi and hides his basket of cggs behind the parlor curtain?
 l am sorry that we cannot sep arate this egg-hunting festival from the religious anniversary. Why cannot we have them a week apart 7 We commercialize two significant holy days. Easter and Christmas. The original idea of kindly spirits oper- ating on those days was all right, but oh, how far away we have strolled! However. the idea of the good kind bunny itself is a happy one, and the children love it.

NANCY PAGE Suits Vary Enough to

To suit the season this spring one must be suited. Every year we hear that suits will be worn. but seldom are they as popular as they bid fair to be this spring.
 That may be because there are so many versions of them. For in stance, here is one which is really a dress with long sleeves. The blouse part is made of biege wool crepe. The skirt is of the same material as the jacket, knobbly textile but the effect is quite different since the skirt is embroidered with eyelets and the jacket is left plain with the exception of the deep fox cuffs which finish the three-quarter

length sleeves of the coat With this outfit are worn rather long and loose gloves. The crushed glove which wrinkles loosely on the arm and which does not fit too snugly on the hand is considered quite the smartest thing.
 Another coat sult which is popular is one of skipper blue, made double breasted with six buttons down the front. Three of these are for effect and three are for use. The fitted. notched lapel and the patch pocket mark the good tailoring on this suit.
 A dress which may be worn for evening affairs which are not elaborate nor formal consists of a soft black satin skirt and jacket which is draped becomingly at neck. The jacket is taken off when eating or dancing and shows a flesh colored blouse which is sleeveless It is cut low in front and back.
