the more popular plays afterward.
Later they had danced little at night
club and talked lot. Or rather she
had talked. All about herself. How she
loved music and art and life and love
she had almost said him.
Later in the vestibule of her boarding
house he had done the talking. How
lovely she was, how much he wanted her,
how mad he was about her, and in be-
tween these few statements he had
kissed her until she had fled from him
up to her room
She had buried her face in a pillow
to hide its burnings, and all the time
she had been thinking that never once
had he mentioned that he loved her.
And then-oh, blessed of miracles-after
a few weeks he had surprised her and,
she suspected, himself, by proposing.
She was in heaven then. She had
floated in an atmosphere beyond the
clouds where the sun always Shone. She
took on beauty reserved for women who
were beloved. The world seemed a temple
of worship; Larry was her god.
GRADUALLY she had returned to
earth and the ordinary office rou-
tine. And then it was that she noticed
the knowing smiles on the faces of the
other girls.
Carol remembered writing:
can't stand Florine. She makes me
think of pink candy. Very sweet and
sticky and cheap. I think she's in love
with Larry.
Reda undulates when she walks. Par
ticularly when she's walking in the di-
rection of Larry'S office.
And again:

walks by. What in heaven is this-a
harem?
They had agreed, or rather Larry had
persuaded her to keep their engagement
a secret, SO she couldn't really blame
those other girls. She had just lifted
her, firm chin and pretended to ignore

LONDON, Feb. 17.-UP).-
Sharp international conflict broke
out between the Italian and Brit.
ish governments yesterday over
Rome's proposed three-power con-
certed action to preserve the in.
dependence of Austria.
The controversy followed a call
on Sir John Simon. foreign Sec
rotary. by the Italian ambassador,
Dino Grand, who presented the
Italian proposal. Sir John refused
to join in a three-power declara-
ton on the Austrian situation,
and used language regarded as
implying condemnation of the
ruthless action of Chancellor En-
colbert Dollfuss in suppressing
the Socialists.
Sir John said Britain could not
accept the Italian draft of the
text of the proposed declaration
unless it were amended to include
a statement that this action does
not mean the powers endorse the
internal policies of Dollfuss.
The secretary made it clear
that British public opinion was
indignant at the merciless man.

to make contracts with private
companies.
The measure carried a proviso
limiting the use of army planes
for mail carriage to a period of
one year.
Chairman Jas. M. Mead, DEM,
N. Y, said he hoped to have house
action on the bill next week after
the tax bill is passed.

Federal Judge John C. Knox re-

Transcontinental and Western

carriers of air mail, had sought
an injunction against Farley's
order turning the arm all lines

Judge Knox ruled that the dis

1t was brought out that the

of the TWA, had made a profit

Six men were sentenced to hang
in Vienna and two were executed
at Saint Poelten, in the provinces.
The number may run into scores.
The grim courts-martial continued
their sittings. The trials usually
were brief and the death sentence

The six condemned men were
pardoned at the last minute, the
officials retarding the clock one
hour in one case to permit the
consideration of pleas for am
nesty.
The condemned men were be-
ing served coffee-their last re-
quest-when the states attorney
entered the Jail and breathlessly
announced the pardons. express
ing his qualification that they had
not come too late. Relatives of
the prisoners embraced them, cry

President Wilhelm Miklas IA

elements that for decade or
more have played prominent roles
