CHAPTER VII

NAAEA4 \ GAS va
J Many months had passed
since Blonde last saw Lottie,
and this meeting had come so
unexpectedly. Standing there
in the center of the living room,
Blonde blinked hard several
times. Could this beautifully
gowned woman be her old tene-
ment pal? And then Lottie,
ignoring Pete's wisecrack, the
sullen look from Pa McClune,
and the enviouS eyes OF Cert
and Ma Mcclure, spoke rather
loftily to her old friend.
We'll, Blonde, what about
you, my dear?"
That broke the spell. 1t really
was Lottie!
what about YOU?" Blonde
retorted, and very sincerely
added, You look swell, Mug"
"Mug?-Ho! Holt seems
years, doesn't it?" Lottie tried
her best to keep her poise. Cert
helped some by picking up the
new baby.
"See the new addition. And
his names Horace" said Cert,
showing the none too clean and
homely youngster right at Lot
tie.
"Pretty-" Lottie started
the usual phrases, but Cert
picked up the end of her fur.
Us that real silver fox?"
asked Cert. Blonde seized the
opportunity, reaching for the
other end of the neckpiece.
"Yes-it is, isn't it?"-to Lot
tie. Mrs. Callahan proudly ans
wered the question.
"Of course it is"
Everybody Admires
There were admiring "Oh's"
and "Ah's" from the women,
while Pa moved around filling
his pipe for the want of some
thing better to do. Pete never
stopped eating.
1t was Mrs. Callahan's oppor-
tunity again. and she took ad-
vantage of it. suddenly lifting
up Lottie's skirt.
Want to see something
grand?" and the proud mother
reached for the garment under
meath. "Lace!-Real, old lace!"
she Dragged. much to Lottie's
embarrassment.
"Mother!" exclaimed Lottie,
but she permitted the display.
"You can't wash it," Mrs.
Callahan continued, cts gotta
be dry cleaned. Shame to hide
1t under your skirt"
can that amt all it's a
shame to hide" piped up Pete,
balancing forkful of food as
he stared at Lottie.
Blonde ended the fashion
show by pulling Lottie over to
the window.
Have those shoes made for
you?" asked Blonde.
mo. I found a darling little
shop, just off Madison-such a
quaint Frenchman-he imports!"
Lottie was talking affably to
Blonde now.
"Oh, yeah!" Blonde was quite
sincerely taken with the idea.
"Follies pay you a lot, don't
they?" sarcastically from Cert
who could hold back no longer.
well, now" Lottie started
to answer when Pete cut in.
why shouldn't lady have a
side line?"
There was a dead, awkward
silence. Pete laughed, almost
self-consciously, and Blonde
spoke up:
What was that crack meant
for?"
Cert, the baby on her hip,
turned to Blonde: You heard
- she started. Then, Pete,
realizing that this was going

Jean Harlow Chester Morris in "Red Headed Woman" and '"Thc Misleading Lady" at the Strand

Jean Harlow is starred in "Red Headed Woman" which begins. a two-day engagement at Warmers Strand today as the feature attrac- ton of a deluxe double program.
 It is a type of role particularly suited for her talents for Miss Harlow has an indisputable, flair for portraying the type of woman who can twist men around her fin gers. In this instance she re- veals not only a keen instinct for the demands of her characteriza- ton but a fresh acting personality as we'll
 You are going to like "Red Headed Woman" both in the story and in the person of the girl who plays the title part. It is difficult role, for it is the portrait Of an interruptions woman.
 Chester Morris is a likable Bill Legendre, Jr, and plays with an amorous light in his eyes, which ex: plains his weakness for the physical charms of the red-headed Lil An- drews. Lewis Stone is delft as Leg endre, Sr, while Leila Hyams, Una Merkel, Henry Stephenson, May Robson, Charles Boyer and Harvey Clark add to an atmosphere or competence to the surrounding roles.
 The companion feature, "The Misleading Lady" co-stars Edmund Lowe. who has strong way with women, and Claudette Colbert. who has a silent, but equally effective way with men. Stuart Erwin, George Meeker, Selena Royle, Robert Strange and William Gar gan are among those accorded con- spicuous supporting parts. Stuart Walker directs.

 Powell was overjoyed with the role of the debonair, aristocratic rogue, who commits his crimes with the most exquisite gentility and the last word in drawing-room manners, ever since he read the script. As for Kay Francis, she declared openly that she had never felt such zest and relish for @ char acter as she has had for the Baro- ness Teri. from the moment she became acquainted with the story.
 The play is 8 favorite of William Dieterle, who directed the picture. Before production commenced, Di- eterle spent weeks in studying every phase of it's adaptation to the screen. His experience abroad, both as an actor and a dirctor, to- gether with his natural flair for a story of this type, made him the ideal choice. to direct the destinies of the production. :. E3.'f-

WORK IN CAPITAL
Former Associates Hark
Back to War Days lin Ad-
miration of Nominee.

The two Washingtonians most closely
associated officially with Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt when he was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy here during the
Wilson administrations have held Office
since under a Republican regime
Mr.. Roosevelt'S private secretary at
the Navy Department, Renah F.
Camalier of 5401 Thirty-second street,
was an assistant United States attorney
until he resigned recently to take up
the private practice of law. Mr. CANA
lierS assistant in the Roosevelt Office
was Chester H. Gray, who is now an
assistant corporation counsel at the
District Building.
WaShington'S recollectionS of Gov.
Roosevelt revolve around his work as
Assistant Secretary of the Navy, hard
working during the World War, and a
naval flavor has already been added to
his campaign for the presidency, with
Anchors Aweigh," famous Navy air,
adopted as his theme song and the
New York executive proclaiming him
self a good sailor and pointing to his
naval training.
Called Finest Chief"
Mr.. Camalier told The Star today
that Mr.. Roosevelt is ''the finest chief
ever worked for, as he was most con-
siderate in every way" He was the
type of man one enjoyed working for
and he never interfered with the con-
duct of his own Office. Mr.. Camalier
asserted Before a holiday Mr.. RooSe-
welt would pass the word along that
his force need not come to the office,
