And she found herself folding up the
scrubbed diet schedule, putting it in
her bag, all the time feeling dazed,
watching, listening, looking. At people
everywhere. At the orchestra, where
the men played without their director,

self, started back to his orchestra,
stopped to bow to Judy, stopped to talk
to Dick in low tones. He smiled, Dick
smiled. Then Whiteman nodded. 'Glad
to do anything for you, Dick" Judy
heard him say. She wanted to protest,
wanted to say, "Dicky you're being too
nice. You're working SO hard to see
that I enjoy everything. You don't
here with you. Enough to make me
happy always, Dick" But again she
was silent, again she wondered.
Now, through the thin gauze curtain
before the orchestra, she could see
Whiteman himself, holding q tremen-
dously long baton. She saw the men
put new music on the stands. She
stared at Dick.
WHAT" she asked, because one word
seemed to be all she could manage.
You said you loved Rhapsody in
Blue Well-he hardly ever plays it
through any more. Never before dane

Soft, clear, then suddenly thunderous
and grand, she heard the Gershwin
music she had played on the organ. the
music she had wanted to learn better.
Played for her Played for Judy Allison
of Hiawatha, Kans.. by Paul Whiteman,
the jazz king. Because Dick Mason
asked for it. Because Dick Mason
wanted Judy Allison to be happy.
She fumbled in her pocket book. Silly,
to feel small tears coming from eyes
that ought to be happy. Silly, to be a
little girl just at the moment when
she wanted to be a woman of the world
Silly. But
Under the tablecloth. her hand groped
for Dick Mason's hand, found his hand,
was at rest. All through the music, for
a long time afterward, they held hands,
like two children, quiet, silent, utterly
happy.
And the music went on And once
they danced, and again. And then the
music stopped. That was all. Cinderella

Judy Allison had been in Chicago for six
months without finding work and her Ia
ther wired her to return to her home in
Kansas. When she went to the tea room in
the house where she lived; RICHARD Mason;
chief radio announcer at WAOA, sat down
at her table She told Dick she was going
home next day. but he persuaded her to try
for talking position on the new Beauty
Builder program at mis- studio. Judy was
chosen. She was to work three mornings
week for $40 week. While Judy was talk
ing with Elton Day. originator OF the BeautY
Builder program, Iona Burdette came up
and asked him why he had thrown her down
after promising her the. Job for some new new
kid from the country" After Iona lett,
Day said Iona was good and got lots ot

added that she had lied to him. had said
she was up against it.. hadn't eaten, and
needed money badly. As they waited Tor

Ju6y a malicious glance and laughed loudly
she said something to a WAOA official.
While Judy was rehearSing with Day, he
was greatly disturbed by a telephone call
and said he would call back in five minutes.
When she reached home Dick was waiting
with his new automobile to invite her to

was to do the announcing. She met Ben

She blushed and felt silly for it. And
followed, now. toward a tiny latticed
bower, in far corner Of the terrace.
This is Whiteman's own particular

he comes now"
Judy turned, expecting the enormous

She listened, startled. A double order

She stared, not meaning to. and the
bandman suddenly smiled, then

was part of that diet, Here" he said.

CHICAGO. September 28--The boys
of 81 aren't yet ready to take back
seats.
The thin blue line of the Grand Army
of the Republic is being called to battle
by their national commander, Capt.
William p Wright of Chicago.
The object of the fight is to prevent
the City Council from passing an ordi-
nance which would put the annual
Memorial day march under civilian
control and let the veterans of the
Civil War take inconspicuous seats in
the rear
Capt. Wright, recently elected to
command the G. A. r. at its annual
encampment at Springfield, opened his
offensive with letters to all Aldermen
and city officials advising them that
"the G. A. r. and the organizations
uniting with it are opposed to any
change which would tend to deprive

He was kind. His hand showed other

one girl in sweater and sport skirt. Judy
felt a little better, little calmer. It
was nice. Going up the steps. going
into the most enormous hotel lobby
she'd ever seen, seeing people every

sessive, as though she, Judy Allison, had
scme definite share in all this.
"The Marine dining room, straight

a sightseeing guide. Here We are,

She gasped. The great room stretched
out before them, terraced, quiet, softly
lighted And she saw the tall windows.
She saw the lake not more than 20

The old fashioned feminist has
passed out of the picture, accord
ing to Judge Georgia Bullock, of
the Superior Court of Los Angeles,
here for the annual convention
of the National Association of
Women Lawyers at the Dodge
Hotel.
Judge Bullock, who is very, very
feminine, is amiably willing to
agree that men and women are
fundamentally different. Says
she:
"Of course we are and why
not. 1 think women in prOfes-
SiOnal and business life who
preserve their feminine quail
ties are more apt to succeed.
The natural attitude is always
more effective"
Il am a mother and a grand
mother, and l am perfectly will
ing to let men be men. It's the

over that age - well, they just
balk at the idea.
That's been the experience of
Mrs. Mary Flang, of the 400 block
of First Street Southeast, who has
been driving cab since last
November.
Recounting her many expert

Fling tells one story of an aged
woman who hailed her on a cor
ner one day and, when she noticed
the feminine driver, remarked:
I'm sorry, miss, but 1 want
to live a little bit longer"
But on the whole, says Mrs
Fling, things aren't so bad for the
woman cab driver, now that there
are about half a dozen of them in
Washington.
At least, the male fares don't
expect the female drivers to open
and close the doors for them.
