Chapter IL


She saw Loranda rise, with
Jack. Loranda was pouting.
But once on the dance-floor,
Loranda came violently and
vividly to life. She started an
extraordinary tango.
They pirouetted and retreated
and dipped and snapped their
fingers, Jack playing up to
her.
"She wants everyone to look
at her. She resents Barry
dancing with me. She wants
to break it up" thought Judith.
Indeed it did seem as if
Loranda was doing everything
to be conspicuous. Passing her
table she snatched a glass of
champagne, and danced with
it held up provocatively. She
grabbed a bunch of grapes from
Zella'S plate, and thrust it
over her ear among her bright
gold curls.
Bacchante!" Loranda could
dance. Presently all the cuples
on the floor, except Barry and
Judith who kept right on, had
stopped to watch her.
Loranda was doing intricate
steps in front of the Purple
Parokeet as he swung on his
gold hoop, eyeir5 her disdain-
fully. She advanced and re-
treated-temptation incarnate
offering him the glass of
champagne and then with
drawing it.
He became annoyed. The
Purple Parokeet was thirsty.
They had dyed his wings a
royal hue, and he wasn't going
to be made a fool of, either
publicly or privately.
AS Loranda came too near,
he gave her wrist a vicious
peck so that a little squirt of
red flew out and she dropped
the glass to the floor, crying
Historically: Barry! Barry"
Business Is Good

rear into a cunning little Jap

and the latest bit of gossip.
The room was windowleSS,
and rather dinlly lit by a couple
of Japanese lanterns in yellow
silk that shed becoming
golden glow. Black and gold
Japanese drapes adorned the
walls. There was a grass rug
on the floor. Two large divans
that were nothing but box
mattresses SET on blocks of
wood and fairly smothered in
bright cushions invited weary
youth to rest. One didn't
even have to move to help
oneself to a cigarette or drink,
for there was a plenitude of
little bamboo tables at ones
elbow.
The Little Nook
A black and gold lacquer
screen divided off this sweet re-
treat from the front of the shop

Where the Dandelions Went
When Willy was two years
old, he lived in red farm
house with a yard in front Of
it. The dandelionS were very
thick there; so that the yard
looked yellow instead of green.
One bright day WHY'S NAM
ma put on his straw hat and
sent him out into the yard to
play. She knew the yard had
a high fence; anf.. he could
not open the gate; so he was
safe. When it was time for
him to have nap and she
went to call him, she noticed
that a great many of the dan
delions we're gone. She won
dered where they were. but, as
Willy could not talk much,
she did not ask him about
them.
A short time after, while
he was asleep in his crib, his
mamma went out to draw
some water. When the bucket
came up full of water, the
top was all yellow with dan
delions. Looking down into
the we'll, she could see no
water at all, only dandelions.
1t was no wonder, then,
where the blossoms had gone.
Willy had been ver..- busy, try

When I read a new book

To regions my eyes
Have not looked on before;
To the fair realms of joy

Into forests of grief,
Or to rapture's high plain.

Into known and loved lands!

Beauty there shines more bright

complex affair. It is not con-
ditioned by ability to associate
ideas alone, or to remember
them, or to apply them, nor to
have a vivid imagination or an
excellent reasoning capacity.
Mental ability-intelligence, if
YOU willis all of these, to be
. sure. It is, however, a whole
lot more.
In the last analysis. intelli-
gence is the ability to combine
all the facultieS-thoSe listed
above as we'll as others-into a
meaningful whole.
Prof. H. Ebbinghaus, of Bres-
lau, conceived the idea that
if a logical thought should be
expressed in a sentence and
then parts of the sentence be
deleted, it would take about
as much intelligence to COM
plete such mutilated sentence
by supplying the missing parts
as it would to compose the
sentence originally.

also worked upon series of
tests, which embodied the same
principle. AS an improvement
he graded these tests, making
each successive mutilated sent
ence more difficult.
The following is a sample of
the Trabue method. The SEN
tences can be completed by the
average person. Wherever
there is a space a word must
be inserted which will make
