was flat and cold. She did
mind. Not that she cared the
snap of her fingers about Jim
Barnum, but he was her own
special property and Edna had
no right to force herself upon
him.
She was evidently going to
try to make an impression on
him, too. Lying in her bed,
Sharlie could hear her spraying
toilet water from her atomizer
on her clothes as she dressed.
And when she passed through
the lighted hall on her way out,
Sharlie saw that she was wear
ing her new fall hat-a three
cornered green felt with a little
ornament Of iridescent feathers
on it.
would you ever have
thought that Edna could do
such a catty, Sneaky thing?"
she asked her mother when she
came flying into the bedroom
to put a dash of powder on
her nose before the arrival of
the card players. "She's just
going out with Jim to try to
get even with me for going
out last night with Mr.. Col
Inns. We'll, from now on I'll
feel perfectly free to see as
much of Mr.. Collins as want
to, without explaining it to
her!"

to. To me Jim Barnum is just
about as thrilling as a dish of
oatmeal. Besides he's off me
lately"
But that night when the
dishes were out of the way and
Dodie was cutting sandwiches
for the regular Saturday night
card game with the Schultzes
and the Hanaberrys Jim Bar
mum called up. He wanted
Sharlie to go to the talkies
with him.
ooh, I'm m -:ch too tired.
JIM" she told him.
Il was out until all hours last
night, and I'm dead. Nothing
appeals to me but Sleep"
Just as she was taking the re-
celver from her ear, Edna came
up beside her and took it in her
own fingers. wait a minute,
Jim!" She spoke breathlessly
into the mouthpiece of the tele-
phone. This is Edna. How
would you like me to go with
you-Dutch treat?"

Then she laughed, said good
by and turned to face Sharlie.
''I'm going with him!" she
cried. II hope you don't mind.

weren't particularly hurt. She
was angry through and through,
with a sudden gust of anger
that sent her back into the
building and into the elevator
at the back of the great white
marble lobby.
"Take me up, please" she
said to the red-headed elevator
man who was called Red Cap
by everyone in the building.
She was pretty sure that Mr..
Collins had not gone home.
She hadn't seen him pass
through the main offices on
his way out, at any rate. And
if he were still in his office
She listened as she stepped
into the main office, empty
and silent at this hour Of the
day. She stood still, her head
to one side, a gloved finger at
her lips. Yes, there was a
sound of voices from the little
room where Edna's desk stood
MIR. Collins voice and then
another masculine voice that
Sharlie did not recognize.
She had just time enough to
take Of her hat and coat and
sink down at her desk before

came out. Mr.. Collins and a
man whom Sharlie had never
seen before.

it looked to Sharlie as though
she never was going to have
an opportunity to see Mr.. Col
lins outside the office again.
Edna was back in her own
little room, and Sharlie was
in the big main office with
the other StenographerS once
again. Business was picking
up, as it always did in Novem-
ber, and. Mr.. Collins spent most
of every day behind the closed
door Of his private office. Peo-
pie came to see him, but it
was always Edna who met
them and took them in to see
him. Edna, with neat paper
cuffs on her sleeves and a
pencil stuck into the shining
masses of her blue-black hair.

heard Mr.. Collins say to him.
"I'n see you again before you
leave town, won't II"
Then, presently, the man was
gone and Mr.. Collins went back
into his office. So far as
Sharlie knew he had not no
ticed her..
She switched on the green
shade light above her desk,
fluffed her hair up around her
ears, moistened her lips and
waited for him to come out
of the office. Her heart began
to beat heavily and a lump
came up into the back Of her
throat as she waited.
Women sometimes do seem
to know when something all
important is going to happen
to them, and Sharlie had that
feeling as she sat at the desk
waiting for Mr.. Collins to come
out of the office.

if she would ever be able to
call him anything else. Even
if she married him, she told
herself, she would probably

You no doubt have many
articles about the house which
require a touch Of decoration
here and there to make them
more attractive. The wonder
package, with its wealth Of
ideas, will be of immense help
to you.
The transferring Of the de-
signs is so simple that the chill
dren can be taught to apply
them. No hot iron is required,
just a little water and spoon.
When considering that each de-
sign can be transferred 10 or
IL times, there can always be
designs on hand for rainy days,
when the children find it diff
cult to play inside. An inex-
pensive box Of crayons or water
color paints, some heavy paper
and the child will be kept
busy all day and find it easy to
create various uses for the
many patterns.
Of course you know the price
Of the wonder package is 81 if
you wish it mailed to you, or
only 88 cents if you wish to
call for it. You may call at
the office of The Washington
Times for your package.

Here are 81 more juvenile
patterns from The Washington
Times Wonder Package, the
package containing IL sheets
leach "a by SO inches) just
crammed with over 800 diff
ferent patterns.
The group shown above is
only half of one of the large
sheets and when you consider
how many are on this and the
wonderful possibilities, just
imagine the fun you and the
children will have with it.
You will have fun painting
and embroidering these de-
signs and the children will
thoroughly enjoy the articles
which bear these decorations.
Just imagine the spouting
whale riding along on an en-
broidered button-holed wave,
an attractive decoration for
curtains or towels.
The locomotive, aeroplane
and automobile would make an
amusing group for lamp shade,
especially for boys room. The
three groups of boats could be

Monday, according to Lawrence G..
Holmes, realty board secretary.
The adjustment board has the
power, under the $3.50 tax law, to
declare an emergency in raising the
tax rate above the maximum. No
indication has been given Of the
probable attitude of the board, al
though it will meet for organization
Friday.
Holmes declared that if the tax
adjustment board refused to re-
duce the levy substantially, the
case would be appealed to the state
tax board, the final resort.
If demands are passed to the
state board by the county board, the
probable occurrence, and the state
board refuses to accede to reduc-
ton demands, a general call will
be issued for the strike, Holmes de-
clared.
Purpose of circulating the pledge
cards at present is to show the
seriousness of the situation and the
determination of taxpayers to OBJ

the letter Of the law is concerned,
has authorized sale of draught beer,
proponents Of the plan point out.
Their arguments already have
been laid before Fred Bechdolt, ex-
else department attorney, who ad-
mitted great merit in them.
They are based on exceptional
powers given the excise director
under Section "a of the beer control
law. This deals with sale Of spirit
uous beverages and sets out that
they must be sold retail at licensed
drug stores which have been estab-
lished at least three years before
the permit is granted.
But an exception is made in a
clause which provides that should
the excise director deem it advisable
ne may. in his discretion, waive
such requirements.
Last clause of the section sets out
that all such sales must conform
with national laws.
Taken as a whole, it is contended
by proponents of the plan for legal
ization without further legislative
action, that Section "a gives the ex-
else director power to license any
place he deems advisable" with
out any pharmacy restrictions.
Under other sections, rules, with
the effect of law, can be laid down
to specify exactly what kind of
places these may be, and thus pre-
vent return of the saloon, they de-
clare.

The manager wants to ascertain Just
what may be expected of Monte again
under big-league fire after a lay-off
that now has extended to more than
three weeks.
Weaver declares there Is no soreness
in his pitching wing at present, but
complains of lack of strength in it.
Treatment he has had on the road
apparently has not benefited the limb
and those in charge of the club are
about agreed that only rest will restore
to 1t the power and skill that made
the professor such a sterling performer
on the hill last season.
But with Burke ready to 60, Russell
and McAfee slabbing sturdily and the
starting four again in line for regular
service there seems no need to worry
over Weaver's condition at present. He
can get good rest and the Nationals
still should have plenty in a pitching
way.

from Chicago here the night before,
Burke followed a slick bit of slabbing
by his fellow-lefthander, Earl White
hill, that had netted his club a victory
with a remarkably polished perform
ance for a sweep of the twin bill OPEN
ing the Nationals five-game series with
the Indians.
MOT only was Burkes success all
" important so far as its immediate
benefit to his club was concerned,
but 1t also restored the balance Of the
Nationals staff of regular starting
prolonged loss of Monte Weaver due
to persistent arm ailment. Stepping
into the 6ouble-header as he did, Bob
gave Crowder the days rest needed to
round edgy shoulder muscles into
proper shape-the General was ex-
pected to be in trim for service this
afternoon-and thereby enabled the
starting slabmen to resume the rota-
ton recently established for them by
Manager Cronin.
With nine games to play to round
out this trip and with as many days
in which to play them, the Washington
club now finds itself nicely situated in
a pitching way. There seems no rea-
son why the starting four, including
Crowder, Thomas, Stewart and White
hill, should not run out the string
neatly and get the Nationals back to
the Capital next week at the peak of
the pack.
Burke having won his spurs as
starter, it now appears the Nationals
actually have staff of seven qualified
to begin ball games. Jack Russell was
so impressive against the Red Sox in
his only start of the campaign that
Crorin looks upon him as likely hill
choice at any time. Bill McAfee, too,
appears capable enough to take start
ing turn occasionally when not too
worn by toll as reliever of faltering
fingers. In every way the Nationals
loom stronger on the slab than those
of their rivals who have been well up
in the pennant chase from the outset
of the season.
OF the three who have had but one
starting turn each, Burke looks by far
the best. Against the Indians yester-
day his performance was satisfactory
in every way. After an unsteady first
inning he settled to turn back the
Cleveland club in fine manner. So
pleasing was his pitching to Manager

IN STAR RACE field
Quoted at 5 to 2, but Edge

~HICAGO, June 26.-Norman
I w. Church's Gallant Sir,
" handicap champion of the
Pacific Coast, was ready
for his first Midwest appearance
of the season today in the Inau-
gural Handicap, featuring the
opening of Arlington Parks rich
30-day race meeting.
The event, at seven furlongs and
worth $4,000 in added money, had an
overnight entry of 33 thoroughbreds.
Gallant Sir was quoted at 5 to 2, not
much Of an edge over several of the
other probable starters. The latter in
cluded Indian Runner, Tired Avon,
Polydorus, Head Play, Isiah, Pairby-
pair. The Darb, Osculator, Halcyon.
The high spots of the meeting will be
the Futurnity, which may be worth as
much as S55Oo0; the Classic, which
will carry S35 900 added and may go
long way toward deciding the 3-year-
old championship of the season, and
the Stars and Stripes Handicap. All
told, the purses for the meeting, the
wealthiest in the country. will amount
to around $500,000.
