The man hit the center of
his mood. He touched her
arm and looked into those
frightened eyes.

going to tell you something.
You won't mind If I speak
frankly, will you?"

girl. I'm happy I've you to

The Broadwayite stirred his

very foolish girl. You're beau

education. And you possess a
very definite charm. I'm not

wrong. I'm only giving you
my impression"

went on forcefully. do You

woman. as you call her? The
customers have been whispering
about you two ever since you
first began coming to this spot.
I know the suspicious aren't
true. A man has only. to look
into your eyes to realize that.
But you must admit that peo-
ple-especially Broadway peo-
ple-cannot De blamed for
thinking the worst.
Look at her. 1t only takes
one look to have anyone know
exactly what type of dame she
is. She's on the hustle for every
mug who walks through that
door. She's half-drunk practi-
rcally all the time. Her talk is
just as foul as it is loud. Look
at her"
The beautiful one looked into
the corner-and turned quickly
away.
DO you really think" she
murmured, that Kitty is as
bad as all that?"

turned, land you know I'm not

"Of course there have. And
there will continue to be others

that woman. I'm frank to ad-

Good Lord, girl, you have
everything in your favor. Times
are bad, but you shouldn't have
any difficulty in landing a job
in some show or other.
But what's going to happen
to you if you keep travelling
around with a dame like that?
You'll get to be a barfly your

sweet lady, that you can't miss.
It's no business of mine, but let

] WO customers
All of which is a rather long
winded method of getting into
my story for today. But it does
have a definite bearing on the
case, which is more than I can
say for a great many OF my
1ntroductionS. However,
A speake asy in the West sos
has two women as frequent
guests. One of the women is a
striklngly beautiful creature
with a soft voice and frightened
eyes. The other is a totally dlt.
ferent type. She is coarse and
hard, and her eyes hold the
harshness that characterizes
her speech.
Yet these two women seem to
be inseparable companions. The
speakeasy has grown to know
them quite we'll. and the man
agement cannot recall seeing
one without the other. The spot
is Just an old-fashioned far and
fails to go in for ank OF any
kind. So the two woman wan
der in of an evening, take their
places at the bar-and there
they stay. The harsh one gets
very drunk; the beautiful one
drinks vers little.
It is only natural that such
combination should provoke
great deal of comment. The
cab drivers, the actors, the
newspaper men-all the custom
ers-have discussed these two
time and again. But there was
no one who knew too much
about them.
He Was Right
The other night standing at
the bar was a Broadwayite in
one of those mellow moods. He
looked at the beautiful girl who
was gazing dreamily into space.
Off in a corner was her con-
Stant companion, sitting on the
lap of an actor who hasn't
worked since the depression
started-and not much before
that. Her raucous voice could
be heard all over the place.
"What?" she was crying,
"You don't feel like givin' your
new sweetie a ILL kiss? Aw,
come on, baby"
The Broadwayite walked over
to the pretty one.
Il met you the other night"
he asserted. Remember? 1
think it was Dick La Marr who
~ introduced u.s."
The gil nodded.
"I remember" she smiled.
"And I'm glad to see you again.
I think we were discussing show
business, or what's left of it,
when you suddenly had to leave.
Right?"
Right she was. The conver.
Sation began anew. They talked
some 20 minutes; this pretty
lady and the :Groadwayite who
was growing very mellow. Mean
while, that other voice in the
corner was growing louder and
louder.
"Just what I always said" it
was fairly shouting. Cant trust
none of them lousy actors. Al
ways give a dame a double
deal. An amt I the one that
knows it,"
The Broadwayite shrugged his
shoulders.
Your pal is pretty loud to-
night" he remarked. Looks as
though she's going to wind up
with fine load"

 House Majority Leader Rainey said: "It is exceedingly regrettable but 1t Is the result of our own bungling of the debt situation. We should never have undertaken the Hoover moratorium.

Hartford, Conn, Dec 14--(UP) ---The state motor vehicles depart ment has inaugurated a new policy with regard to motor vehicle oper- ators who are required to furnish evidence of financial responsibility because of violations of the traffic code.
 Under the new regulations. the burden of responsibility is placed directly upon the operator in every case and not upon the owner of the machine involved. The old "A. B, c" classifications are abolished.
 One whose driving has placed him under the financial respsn- sibility restriction must furnish evil dence of financial responsibility covering all vehicles if he wishes an unlimited license. If his cover age refers only to his own car, he will receive a limited license.
