leave it at that and not investi-

What would she do? She
MUST see him again. Must not,
by her own folly and her pose,

Her face buried in the pill

her heart was bursting.
IF a message comes through

anyone calls her up-will you
please put them through to

that morning to the girl at the
hotel switchboard.
"Ho! Didn't know you were
a friend of hers? I understood
the lady had sailed?"
"She did. She asked me to
do this. She was expecting a
sort of-of a particular CALL"
fibbed Nollie desperately.
Very we'll. I'll put it through

looking over the balcony.
With q terrific flutter at the

Her face as white as chalk,
her feet rooted to the spot and
her eyes fixed on him, Nollie
stared down into the lobby.
And suddenly Tony swung
around, as though magnetized
by the girls gaze, and looked
straight up.
Directly at her. She wore her
shabby little hat. Tony did not
recognize her!

And a great lump rose in her
throat, threatening to choke
her.
But speak to him she must.

let him get away without q
word with her.
She turned and fairly ran
down the corridor.
But when she gained the
lobby he was gone. Nor could
the clerk at the information
desk tell her his name, except
that the young man had been
making an inquiry about a Mrs.
Judson who had gone to Europe.
In a hot, fainting panic, and
praying she wouldn't miss him
for indeed it was Tony-She
ran headlong out to the street.
This way and that she stared,
the sun blazing in her eyes.
No sight of him!

Crowds everywhere! Other
young men in gray flannel
suits and soft gray hats.
Tony had gone!
Oh, HAD he recognized her?
But he would have stopped,
surely? Would at least said
something to her?
She went back to her hotel,
her heart aching with a bitter
disappointment.

The
Capital
BY JOHN SNURE JR..

Up the river came Skipper
Walter Moyle at the helm Of
his new vessel, a long, lean,
racing schooner yacht, which
is one of the trimmest craft
in these waters.
The boat is a new acquisition
for Skir1er Walter and he was
returning from his first long
cruise (to Annapolis) on her
deck.
Down the river, fog descend.
ed in the night and orders were
given to drop anchor in the
stream while Moyle and his
guests went below for nap.
They were awakened by the
sound of a fog-horn on an
oncoming ship Of considerable
size. They finally pulled out
of the large vessels way but
went on a mud bank below
Alexandria where they were
forced to remain until the next
day.
Moyle is now studying navi-
cation.
Likes His Hoe
From the prolific pen Of
Clarence j. West, of the Ma
tional Research Council, have
come some 500 publications.
Few writer's have written as
many books, articles, and book
reviews as West, on various
subjects ranging from paper
making to chemical warfare
gases. He also has conducted
research regarding the COM
position of the nervous tissue
of animals.
Unlike the majority of men.
West does not pay golf, swim,
bowl, or fish, has no favor1te
book.
It is his garden that turns
him from his work and it is
said that he can make a "hole-
in-one" with hoe much better
than with a golf club, weapon
he never has handled.

Jimmy Lake has assembled an array
of entertainers for his opening week of
burlesque that is sure to please the most
critical patron. Heading the cast are
Charles Red" Marshall, a top-notch
comedian and Jeanette Alabassi, a
pleasing dancer.
Miss Alabassi does about all that is
required of dancer. While not very
convincing singer, she makes up for this
by her pleasing manner. both in the
dances and the skits. She is a favorite
here as can be attested by the applause
that she received for her efforts in her
all but too brief appearance.

est Russian tunic in off-white with
subtle gold threads through it. It was
boat-shaped at the neck-huge under

an antique gold belt, and about
inches OF dull gold lame fabric showed
in the skirt.
Long tunics of this type are becom-

the knees. 1t is bias cut princess

was of faded blue cheviot-a faded
flag blue-I might add, which is very
chic for informal wear Just now.
