her.
Honey" she said, Maud
and l. are going to ask some
people up here tonight to play
cards. I'd like to ask Maud to
stay here all night and if you
went over to your grandmoth-
er's house she could have your
room."
II could sleep In Edna's
room," murmured Sharlie.
She shrank from the thought
Of going to her grandmother's
house for the night. Grand
mother would be sure to ask
her all about Eddie and the
accident. Things that Sharlie
tried not to think about these
melancholy lonely days.
IT'D rather you'd go to your
grandmother's house, Sharlie,"
her mother said to her. There
was rebuke in the lift of her
eyebrows and the tone of her
voice.
And so the matter was set
tied.
Late that afternoon Sharlie
put nightgown and some tot
let articles into her little over
night bag and left the flat.
Her mother was dressing
when she left. She was flushed
and fragrant from her bath

room to kiss her goodby and

She didn't. And what harm

Its hood was lifted, and Jim

Far Spaces
On the wind7swept prairies,
On the sage-strewn mesas,
On the sallow beaches sloping
to the sea,
I have found an echo,
I have found an answer,
I have found a reason for the
songs in me!
Never in the forests,
Never in the mountains,
Where the great peaks tower,
shutting out the sky,
Can my songs go bravely,
Can my songs go strongly,
Can my songs go swiftly as
the white gulls fly.
On the sun-sweet mesas,
On the painted prairies,
On the shelving beaches slant
ing to the sea,
Only can my soul find
Vestige, glimpse and promise
In a distant echo Of it's own
infinity!

The Beauty
Box

If the pint-size darling is
blessed with good proportions
there's no reason for her regis
tering beauty walls. She has
advantages over the show girl
type. Men assume a pleasant
protective attitude toward the
cuties, those buckles who can
wear youngish clothes no mat
ter how many birthdays have
been chalked up to their credit,
who are inclined to be peppier
than their taller sisters. After
the age of seventeen there's no
hope of increasing stature. But
by walking tall, carrying the
body beautifully, the short gal
will appear to add to her inches.
She, of all types cannot afford
to let shoulders slump forward,
chest cave in, back bend the
wrong way.
To cure enlarged pores is a
long term beauty chore. It
means changing the texture of
the skin which can't be done in
a few weeks or a few months.
Treatment consists of massaging
at night with a heavy cream,
ironing the flesh with an ice
cube while the cream remains
on the skin. Every morning
bathe the face with cold water,
lave with a lotion made by COM
bining equal parts of rubbing
alcohol and witch hazel. Cut
down on fats.

There's plenty Of time to
talk about business school later
on" her mother said. Right
now I'm going to keep you at
home with me-"
For a week she was as good
as her word.
For a week she stayed at
home all day long, keeping
Sharlie under her eye. She
seemed to be making up for
all the years when she had let
her run wild.

So all week long Sharlie
washed furniture and brushed
down the walls and rubbed wax
on the floors.
why don't you let all this go
until next week when I'm
away from home?" Mr.. Dunn
asked one night when he came
home from work to find cold
supper waiting for him on the
kitchen table.
The dining room was in wild
disorder and all the rugs had
been sent to the dry-cleaner.
You shut up!" his wife an
swered him promptly. You're
going away all next week on

you're gone is my own busi-
ness! But, believe NE, it's not

narrow shoulders.

asked Dodie, and she laughed
too.
The pair of them settled
themselves in the living room,
turned on the radio, and began
to play double solitaire.
Sharlie could hear them syalk-
ing together in low tones as she
went about the flat making beds
and running the carpet sweeper
around the floors.
She often wondered what her
mother and Maud found to talk
about. They saw each other
every day Of their lives.

take Sharlie with her." Sharlie
heard Maud say to her mother.
'Then we could have this place
to ourselves. I'm sure Leila will
come back tonight, although I
gave her the whole day off. She
always does come home to

Leila was Maud's housemaid.
She slept in a room off the
kitchen of the Hanaberry flat,
and she had been with them
ever since they had been mar
r1ed. Sharlie had heard Maud
say so dozens of times.
II don't think Sharlie would
say anything to anybody if we
had little party up here"
Dodie answered. "Sharlie
doesn't talk much"

CANADA'S POLICY UNCHANGED.

OTTAWA, Ontario, April rs P.-
Finance Minister E. N. Rhodes refused
to reply officially yesterday to a ques-
ton whether Canada had abandoned
the gold standard, but he declared that
Canada had not altered its stand since
the United Kingdom left gold in 1881.
Prime Minister R. B. Bennett in the
House of Commons two months ago
said it was well known that to all in
tents and purposes Canada had not
been on the gold standard since Great
Britain's departure from it.
No act since then has changed the
situation, it was said, but the principle
of gold coverage for Canadian money
has been strictly maintained
Rumors than the Canadian govern
ment had announced abandonment of
the gold basis, it is believed arose over
the recent passage of an order-in-
council suspending the redemption OF
Dominion notes in gold.

posal may be acceptable But in the
present state of the world. and of Eu-
rope in particular, there is not much
likelihood that France will accept the
British limitation of arms proposal.
This expose of the political situation
made by Herriot to the President fol-
lowed a conversation the French leader
had with Ramsay Macdonald yesterday
afternoon and which lasted more thar
an hour.
1t is said that the talk between the
two European leaders covered mostly
the political angle of the Washington
conversations. There was apparent
yesterday certain amount OF resent
ment in French circles because it had
been indicated Macdonald had Sug-
gested to the President the taking up OF
his Geneva proposals for quantitative
disarmament in order to bring the
Geneva Conference to a successful con-
clusion. The French did not like this
because they have already turned down
this proposal twice; they consider the
British premier had acted somewhat
hastily by presenting what they con-
sidered an obsolete proposal for the
consideration of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Reasonable Hope" of Accord.
This was so mucn more important
since it was stated in British quarters
that there was a reasonable hope an
agreement may be reached at Geneva.
In we'll informed quarters it was said
last night that it will be essential to
get the Limitation of Arr&s Conference
out CT the way before the Economic
Conference meets. The official COM
munique issued jointly on Sunday
night by President Roosevelt and Ram
say Macdonald, wherein it was stated
that the conversations on disarmament
between the President and the British
the prospects of success of both the
Disarmament and the Economic Con-
ference" was interpreted to mean that
both leaders would do their utmost to
bring the Limitation of Arms Confer
ence to a successful conclusion, If pos
sible by the end of the next month.
In well informed quarters it was
stated emphatically that the Sunday
night communique meant something.
Furthermore, it was indicated the
question of reaching an agreement at
the disarmament conference, like reach
ing an agreement at the economic con-
ference, depended good deal on good
will, and it was added that ''if one Of
the results of the Roosevelt MacDon-
aid conversations is a feeling that We
shall be determined to get results. 1t
means that we will get results"
The spokesman of the French gov
ernment does not lack good will, either,
but he maintains that on the question
of disarmament something more than
good will is necessary-at least as far
as the French people are concerned.
For this reason the reports that Mac
Donald had revived his Geneva guam
titative disarmament proposal and
showed its advantages to President
Roosevelt caused somewhat Of a furry
in French circles.

Thomas, twice defeated Socialist candi-
date for President, said in an address
last night that "if the United States
still has Presidents by 1896, I may be

The country is nearer war now than

especially impressed by the informal
manner of the President, who reminded
him that he was dining tonight at the
White House, Just family dinner"
The talks stretched ever period OF
over three hours The interpreters who
had been ordered to the White House
were dispensed with by the President,
who declared his French was good
enough to carry on informal conversa-
tionS. Only three men were present In
the oval room, President Roosevelt,
Herriot and Ambassador de La Boulaye.
After having surveyed the general
economic situation, they were Joined by
the experts, who were introduced by
their respective chiefs to each ether
A general conversation followed and
the President presented to the experts
and to Herriot lengthy memorandum
of about 120 pages. which will form the
basis of their work
The memorandum contained all the
points covered by the agenda of the
economic conference as drafted at
Geneva. There were no specific recon-
mendationS-juSt the whole thing to
be thrashed out by the American and
French experts. Afterward the experts
withdrew and the private conversations
between Herriot and Roosevelt were re-
sumed. This time Herriot did most OF
the talking, as the conversations
changed from economics to politics.
European Situation Discussed.
The French representative is believed
to have spoken about the situation in
Europe; the tendencies and the drifts
in the present complex political situa-
tion and explained at length to the
President the reason why the French
government, liberal as the present Dali
adler cabinet is, cannot accept the Mac
Donald proposals for disarmament pre-
sented by the British premier on March
Is at Geneva. Those proposals lin
ited the armies of the European ma
tions by number and gave France, Italy
and Germany parity of armed forces
of 100000 men, while Poland was al
lotted 100000 men and Yugoslavia and
the other states of the little entente
were given 100000.
Herriot is understood to have ex-
planned to the President in detail why
this proposal cannot be accepted at the
present moment by the French people.
Naturally, if the Economic Conference
proves complete success and the
wheels of the world economic machinery
start working again, the results will un-
doubtedly be better understanding be-
