 Juneau high school boys will meet the Juneau Bremen; Juneau high school Alumni boys will op- pose Douglas Bremen and Juneau high school girls will encounter Douglas Alumni girls.
 Have Been Practicing Hard
 The Juneau high school boys have been practicing hard since Fri day when they were defeated by Douglas Bremen. The scholars realize that tomorrow night they are going against strong team in the Juneau Bremen, but the stu dents are confident their showing will be much improved over their showing of last week.
 Tough Battle Expected
 The Juneau Alumni are deter mined to give the Douglas Fire men a tough battle. The Alumni beat the Bureau of Public Roads last. Friday, and have strong hopes of vanquishing the visiting smoke eaters tomorrow.
 The Juneau high school girls will win from the Douglas Alumni girls, if predictions of smart followers of the sport are worth anything. The Juneau maids are taking mo- thing for granted, however. They have been practicing faithfully in the past week and will be out to win from the first tipoff.
 Play will start promptly at 7:15 o'clock.

 When the vaults will be opened to sightseers depends, officials say, 'on the United States" since bank CTS here lay the flow of gold to New York exchange operations.

Synopsis: After the strain of continual failure to be socially successful, Venice Muir finds relief in telling Molly Spald- ing lcng tales of imaginary popularity. Venice does not has been urged to learn attrac- tiveness by her mother, who is a New York social leader. Reiteration of the importance of being popular has given Venice a sensitive awareness of inefficiency. Besides the fun Of fancying herself brilliantly appealing, Venice is motivated in her stories to Nelly by Nol- ly's desire to hear of her cocial triumphs. Molly lives within the reflection of Venices' good times; she does not go out herself because of financial re- verses and because she is lame. Venice gives her glowing picture of the Gcadby's party, at which she was actually very unhappy, because of her lack of ease and light charm. She tells Molly of her cOnquests, and three men who paid her special attention.

 Venice dragged her eyes from their inner visions to look quickly towards the grey square of win dow with it's diagonal streaks of wet.
 I've got to go, Molly, dear. It's dreadful out"
 Must you really, Venice?"
 Yves. I'm going to the Lido to- night with Donny Reese"
 It was the sort of thing Venice never had an opportunity to do. An evening a deux. She would have liked it better than any real party. She saw herself on one of the red plush seats against the wall. The air was intoxicatingly warm and smoke-laden. The lights were dimmed while Moss and Fontana danced. He lifted her, light as down, let her then sink slowly to the floor again. They did it beau- tifully. A spotlight hemmed them in great melting circle of yellow. Suddenly Donny Reese pressed Ve- nice's hand beneath the table. She actually crimsoned.
 Your face is scarlet from the fire
 Venice started. Nolly'S voice brought her back to the shabby lit tie sitting room again. She scram- bled to her feet and lent to Molly a helping hand.

 Pongo was the Informed leg. Molly had a name for everything. Anthony was her favorite chair. Her cane was Jezebel When she referred to Pongo there was never any pathos about it.

ability at quick response as soon as you were introduced. If you were unable to blithely start visa wis invariably conversation wander ed off to some one else who could.
 She slowly deposited her coat and gloves in Lolas room. She dreaded going downstairs into that small seething tumble of gay chat ter and easy badinage. She could not know that there would be two people here this afternoon who would prove definite factors !n her life.
 1 Lola rushed ro greet her, thrust a cocktail into her hands and then hurried away to welcome some one else. Venice stood studying the rim of her glass as though it were worthy of microscopic inspection. Then she looked up and let her eyes travel the room. Suddenly she forgot herself standing there alone, in her puzzled analysis of a girl whom she had never seen be- fore. She was short and dark, rather untidy looking and not par ticularly well dressed. Almost ev- ierything about her was ill-matched like a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces don't quite fit Her black, heavy lidded eyes were evasive, her wide mouth set not quite straight. Her nose in contrast was small and classic. Her legs, in fish net stock ing that in no way suited the rest of her costume, were slim and beau- tifully shaped. Her hat was too far on the back of her head, her skirt was too short, but her patent leather were little and narrow with intriguingly high heels. AL most every man in the room was attempting to talk to her at the earliest opportunity. Oddly enough she did not seem to have much to say There was persistent sulli- ness about her.
 Venice could not resist staring at her. Where was her attraction? What could be her charm? At least three males determinedly hovered about her, and yet she seemed to employ none of the se- ductive little tricks that seem to tempt young men to ones side. Never a careless hand on the arm, no long looks into eyes, no aban- don or vivacity On the contrary, she seemed too well contained, in- different, quiet, almost rude. Her manner of looking away from peo- pie when they talked to her was baffling and uncomfortable.
 Here, darling, do you mind passing these? Old William is as slow as a tortoise, and I'm work ing myself into a fever"
 Venice started. She took the plate of olives Lola was holding out to her. I must have looked like a country yokel gazing at the Empire State Building, she thought.
 Passing the appetizers to the strange girl, Venice smelled pe- culiar perfume, similar to musk.
 Thank you" She raised her lids to look at Venice, giving her smile that turned up the corners of her mouth but left her eyes ; cold and untouched. They were like an animals, even and white. Venice inveigled Lola aside at the first feasible moment.
 Who" she queried in careful undertone, Sis the dark girl all the men are rushing?"
 Venice learns the secret of
 the strange girls popularity, tomorrow. Mystery plays an ! important role.
