BY SALLIE V, II. PICKETT.

Never ceaSing to be a wonder in her
Mrs. Roosevelt's program last week en-
braced dozens of events that ranged all
the way from 15-cent luncheon cooked
and served by Girl Scouts to a state
dinner in the White House. There
were in between farewell to incom-
ing and outgoing Ambassadors, in which
ceremonies she joined the President,
and she still had time for an occasional
horseback ride, an airplane ride-one
quite memorable one, a night ride with
Amelia Earhart out of Washington and
over the city of Baltimore-and keeping
appointments to receive the several
Thousand Daughters of the American
Revolution who paid their respects, and
Kroups of other visitors.
In the midst of all this she yet had
Zine for flight to New York, visit to
the dog show, where she awarded the
prizes, and still time to dictate letters,
arrange her Housekeeping budget just as
though she were back in her Hyde Park
home and do hundred other things
which will never bear record in the
coming years. One of the tasks which
most stirs her emotions is the reception
of letters calling for help and then the
dozens of gifts of every conceivable kind,
but every one carrying message OF real
affection and admiration.
This week will be almost as full OF
engagements as was last week for MIS-.
Roosevelt, for other foreign statesmen
will arrive and there will be more for
rnalities at the White House and In the
embassies and legations. There Will be
a White House dinner for M. 'Herrlot,
former prime minister of France, who
will also be entertained by the Secretary
of state, Mr.. Hull, and by the new
Ambassador of France and Nine. de

CHAPTER XXI

"No, sir" said Layton.
Durant hung up. He sighed
as he walked out of the drug
store. He didn't think Gertie
was that kind. So, she'd quit
on him as soon as he left the
house. Well, why not? What
was he to her that she should
risk her lovely neck takinE his
side of a quarrel? Of course,
she had been fond of Mimi
Montague, but Mimi was dead.
Why should she take the chance
of death also? Fear of Jim
Crelliman was greater then any
temporary liking for Durant.
Why, she was as big a gutter
as Sue.
What was he saying? Was
he comparing Sue to a girl like
Gertie Waxted? His sense Of
values was lost. But was that
so? After all, Sue had quit
him because she didn't like
notoriety, but Gertie Waxted
had quit because she feared
death. There was quite a diff
ference, and the balance was in
Gertie's favor. Also, Sue had
quit twice, and that there was
something inexplicable in this
recent second quitting made no
difference.
Well, he wouldn't think about
either of item. He'd go back
to sextets after this. There was
more entertainment and less
worry in a bunch of girls than
in any single one. And it was
with this same conclusion in
his mind that he knocked on
the door of the speakeasy on
Thirtieth Street.
At the Speak
Through a tiny peephole a
man surveyed him. The place
may have been as tough as
Gazotti had said it was, and
perhaps its very toughness made
it's personnel careless a bout
whom they a d m i t e d. They
probably felt great confidence
in their ability to take care Of
themselves. At any rate, Durant
was admitted without question.
He found himself in a narrow
hallway. The doorman nodded
toward a room on the right.
you'll find what you want in
there" he said.
Durant entered the room.
Against the far side was a regu-
lation bar. Half a dozen men
and two women stood against
it, drinking. A bartender min
istered to their needs. He
greeted Durant in friendly fash
ion, and Durant ordered a
whisky.
AS he slipped it he smiled in
wardly as he thought of his de-
termination not to drink again;
it was really on account of Sue
that he quit, wasn't it? He
looked about the room. On both
sides there were booths in which
people sat. From one Of them
came a maudlin cry for liquor.
"You can act like a gent, Muir
toch," said the bartender, "or
you can get thrown out on your
ear"
