Lily Lou was beginning to
think about clothes.
She came home with a
fashion magazine every night,
spent hours poring over the
ads in the evening papers. Il

rag picker any longer" she
told May.
"That suit looks all right to
me-" Raymond said, looking it
over judiciously.
Looks terrible!"
5"Oh, 1 don't know. A nice
looking girl like you can get
by with anything"
Lily Lou felt pleased. She
looked down at the despised
brown wool crepe suit, which
had begun life shell pink, and
now, after two sessions with
the dye pot, was a very respect
able brown. Maybe Raymond
was right. Maybe she'd better
not spend the money. still E.
In the end she bought the
new suit. 1t was black, with a
little cape. Just the thing for
spring" the saleswoman said.
Chilly enough these early spring
mornings. But she never
shivered after she met Ken.
Excitement kept her warm.
Pride Initiates
The elderly office women on
the sheltered rear deck of the
ferry slowly turned their necks
to watch her as she passed
with Ken every morning. The
sewing sisters in the cabin
stitched and nudged each other

Lily Lou stepped along with
Ken. She knew what the
3tner commuters were think
ing. It piqued her pride. She
thought "I may be nobody now
:. but you wait. -"
She laughed, under her
breath.
"Now what's the joke?" Ken
Sargent wanted to know.
She wouldn't tell him. Some
day you will know" she said
dimpling.
She felt awfully sure of her
self, that first spring.
Monday and Friday nights
Lily Lou was late getting home.
She stayed for a lesson. Ken
Sargent fell into the habit of
staying late on those nights,
too.
p When they came home on
the ferry he told her little
things about ships. He had
been to South America.

what about lunch, Laurel?"
Laurel felt dashed. She did
not want I'm in this lofty, in

But it wasn't in her to be
rude to anyone.
"Okay with me. Would you
like Sherry'S, or the Ambassa-
dor? The RitZ?"
At the Ritz
IT vote for the last one"
So. they turned to the right
at Forty-sixth Street and soon
found themselves in the crowd
in the Ritz lobby.
Laurel tipped the waiter a
IS bill. He found them a nice
little table.
On the balcony at the left,
close to the door, from which
point of vantage they could
see all the comings and goings.
Imogen enjoyed this. But
Laurel was rather bored.
The same old crowd!
There's Mrs. Morganbilt,
worth fifty millions! And here
comes Mrs. Goldchild!"
Imogen craned round in her
seat, her neck stretched like
an ostrich.
What does it all amount to,
anyhow" asked Laurel.
''It amounts to the prestige
and freedom of hard, cold CASH."
A Russian prince strolled in.

CHAPTER A.

NE1A1 I1b III
On brilliant December
morning, Laurel Oakes walked
on Park Avenue.
How exhilarating was this
town! Such a gay zip in the
air! Such a wonderful stimu-
lus!
Wasn't that the magnet that
lured people to New York from
every corner of the earth?
That breezy something" in
the air?
And of course the DOLLAR

Well, why wouldn't they?

Wasn't the sun glinting bene'
ficently down on the Chinese
Pagodas and Spanish Bunga-
lows and Turkish Temples that
topped the high roofs? Soaring
into the air! =,
And Laurels thoughts scared
also. -.
Oh! good to be alive on this
enchanted morning =!
Good to be a human unit IN
the most intriguing city IN
the world, and still young
enough to enjoy it!
In her smart black velvet
coat, edged with expensive rose
fox fur, a tiny black helmet"
on her head, Laurel made a
sweet picture.
For heavens sake! You
look like something that just
stepped out of 'Vogue'!" And
there before her on the SIDE.

Imogen.
Back in the City
80, you're back in New York
too" Laurel's voice was a little
flat as she greeted her friend.
Would I'm tune in with this
magnetic, energizing morning?
yep. I'm back at the old
dump on West Sixty-ninth:
Where are you going?" And
Imogen fell into step beside
her. ,,
"Oh, I was just taking a little
constitutional" none h alantly
said Laurel.

looks 'poifect' as it is. I hope

Laurel flushed in the bright
sunshine. What exactly do
you mean, Imogen?"
"That / hear Bruce Harvey's

crazy about him, and with
money to burn"
THAT so? Nothing to do
with ME. Be yourself, please" |"
But the friendship between
Laurel and the serious-minded
young doctor HAD progressed
these last delightful days down
on Long Island. So, Imogen's
arrow had sped home!

Nothing particular, except
that we're back in town.
And the cocktail parties

Roosevelt's Fiscal Policy.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Governor Roosevelt gave evidence that he is ap- preaching political problems realistically when at Pittsburgh he said economy is one of the most important issues of the campaign By devoting one of his major speeches wholly to fiscal matters he made plain that he has given thought to the cost of government.
 The Democratic nominee has two principal aims in fiscal affairs. One is to balance the budget final of the term The other is to accomplish this balancing through economies rather than higher taxes He makes exception to this rule by the assertion that if the resources of the Federal Gov ernment needed to prevent starvation anywhere in the country he would be willing to levy new taxes for that purpose.
 Surveying fiscal questions of the last three years the New York Governor caught MT. Hoover at his weakest point when he pointed out the President failed in late 1880 and again in 1881 to warn the Congress of the impending fiscal crisis of the Gov ernment. Coupled with the steady increase of gov- ernmenta costs through this period, this makes strong indictment of the fiscal policy of the Ad- administration.
 The most spectacular and perhaps the most in1- portant part of the Pittsburgh address was Roose- velts blunt procurement that he opposes any cash payment of the veterans bonus while the budget shows a deficit. This apparently may be taken as meaning that he does not anticipate ap- proving bonus measure for several years at least for the prospect of szeabe surplus in the Treas ury is long way off.
 This clear statement the bonus issue will answer the doubts of many persons who have pre- ferred Roosevelt but were not willing to countenance another bonus grab. More important still it takes country that the danger of Treasury raid is thwarted entirely, whatever the outcome of the election This should be great aid to business confidence.

THE DEMAND FOR A CHANGE.

This is not necessarily partisan declaration. Hundreds of thousands of Republicans will vote for Gov Roosevelt for President without changing party affiliations They will do it for the good of the country for the good of their own party as well as for those of other political organizations. They believe that the Hoover Administration ought to be retired They believe that it has outlived its use- funess and that it ought to get out and give the Republicans an opportunity to reform their
 lines and organization. In short they believe that the time is at hand for new deal
 There is every why there should be new deal in Alaska as well the Nation There is every reason why the people of this Territory should make it plain to the country at large that they are strictly behind the demand for change Within the last year the Administration has sac rificed the old reliable Alaska Road Commission which has served so faithfully and efficiently for Q quarter of century in developing the Territory 1t has abolished the Alaska Rivers and Harbors District It has vastly curtaied the activities of the Geological Survey It has decided that the Richardson Highway must not be permitted to com pete with the Alaska Railroad. It has not been friendly to this Territory.

 When Senator Dimond was in jured at Iditarod last September and it was feared he might not be able to continue his active cam paign, Grigsby, hardly recovering rom a severe attack of yellow Jaundice, immediately offered his services for the stump, although he was far from being in con- oltion to do any strenuous cam paigning.
 A day or SO after this was made Known, Grigsby was hailed on the street by Attorney General John Sustgard. The latter was shocked at Georges appearance, his loss of weight and the saffron tinge 70 his skin and eyes really gave him an alarming look.
 George treasured MT. Rustgard about his wellbeing, saying it was only yellow jaundice and that he was well on the road to recovery
 Just what is this jaundice?" MT Rustgard wanted to know.

HOLZWORTH IN HOT WATER.

New York correspondence Tn Pacific Coast news papers indicate that John M. Holzworth stirred up hornets nest at the annual meeting of the Ma tional Audubon Society and almost got himsel thrown out He at least became very unpopular One of the press associations reported the affai in San Francisco paper follows:
 NEW YORK, Oct. Exchanges that AL askas grizzly baers have been sacrificed to the interests of "a wood pulp concession" given a San Franciscan brought election threats and angry shouting during the clos ing session of the annual National Audubon Society meeting here.
 John M. Holzworth Chairman of the Alaskan Bear Committee of the New York Geological Society, had demanded the citation ratify the directors approval of Admiralty and Chchagof Islands wild life preserve for the browns and grizzlies.
 Holzworth pointed at Dr. Theodore S. Palmer, Chief Biologist of the United States Biological Society:
 You working hand in hand with the wood pulp interests" he shouted
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-11-02

He referred to wood pulp contract given, he said, to George Cameron, pub fisher of the San Francisco Chronicle at 30 cents thousand feet three years ago by the Department of Agriculture.
 He demanded a Congressional inquiry.
 Opposition to the wild life sanctuary, he charged, came from the wood pulp in- terests whose concessions he said, covered 5000 square miles of Government owned timber, the most valuable wild life re- sources.
 Are you for the bears. or for the wood pulp?" he cried. Are you for the bears or for George Cameron's 50-year conces- son?"
 Throw him out! Hush him up!" attend ants shouted.
 This is respectable meeting and we want respectable gentlemen in it." Dr. Frank A. Oastler, a director, retorted to Holz- worth.
 Oastler lost a toe, it was recalled by Audubon Society members, in an encounter with a bear
 Hozworth persisted He charged one of the wood pulp concessions was given to Republican campaign contributor He cited the BOG to soc per 10O0-foot rate as com pared with the British Columbia rate of about $5 thousand.

template when party candidate for that office has been the fa- vored figure in the betting. There was some money, not a fortune, however, to be had on George B. Grigsby two years ago, but not as much as the closeness of the contest, as revealed by the re- turns, justified.
 Grlgsby had better chance than anybody except himself be- neved to be the case. He did everything in his power to make his friends see the real picture. And in most instances, he didn't jget the idea across. If he was somewhat peeved, and he was, he had cause or thought he had, which amounts to the same thing. He thought he was entitled to another try this year, and did his best to get his party to see it with his eyes. The verdict of the primary election was against him and for Senator Dimond Now he halls the promise of Dimond's victory with as deep satisfaction as if he were running himself
 Maybe it's because Grigsby is a good loser. Possibly t is because he is a good party man and a friend and admirer of Valdez's foremost citizen. More likely, however, il was because of both.
 Georges loss of the primary gave him a few chances to display the keen sense of humor that has put him into the forefront oi Alaska campaigners and won him many additional friends.
