"After Many Days.

farm in Brittany, and pretend in her stolid
peasant way that she did not know that
Amelie was through - tout fait tinie - but
Amelie knew that she knew it. She had not
seen her name in the Paris papers, indeed.
ITEMS, one day soon she should see it
Mile. Amelie Tournelle, former music-hall
favorite and idol of Paris. was found dead of
afternoon.
Amelie laughed at herself, and called to
Louise. What was that incompetent doing
with her chocolate? She was famished! She
stood up, and her ivory lace peignoir parted
and revealed one of the famous Tournelle
legs She stretched it out. little stiff1y. and
surveyed it critically. Bien, they were still

Louise clumped in with the tray her dark

"One knocks before entering room, nest

The girl smiled unpleasantly, her small eyes
hard. There had been no need to knock before
entering Amelie's room since that Russian

and no one knew that better than Louise.
Besides. she had not been paid for three
weeks.
Amelie poured her chocolate and sighed,
thinking of Boris. There was another loss

SO unhappy about his business. that
spite ofeverything, Ameie smiled
and there it was. the smile that
all Paris loved, the famous crooked smile of
La Tournelle that was at once philosophical
and provocative, a sort of eat and be merry

Madame - regret so deeply =" He
was very young man. the agent, and he had
not expected La Tournelle to be so lovely

top of the dark stairs, holding the dispossess
notice in her slender hand.
Ameie closed the door softly returned to
her bedroom and paused moment by the
open window. At the end Of the street, the
horse-chestnut trees on the Champs Elysees
were just ready to burst into blossom; another
spring
Her mouth twisted again, but the smile
was not the genuine Tournelle now; there
was some bitterness and much panic expressed
in it. Jeanne letter still lay on the white and
gold desk; she picked it up and re-read it
slowly.

smelling salts and face powder for cenfimes9
Her thoughts turned to Jeanne, envy mo-
mentarily crowding out even bitterness. There
would be chickens to feed. on Jeannes farm,
perhaps geese and ducks; "a horse, a COW or two,
and gardens - and beyond the clean blue sea
with red-sailed fishing boats against the sky.
At sixty, woman should have house. She
thought lingeringly of all the men who had
wanted to marry her and give her a home and
security. Pierre Outhier was the only one she
would have married, but Pierre had died. Tall,
handsome Pierre, with his acrid wit, his ready
satire.
She could remember perfectly the day they
took Jeanne Branton to the station Pierre so
suave, so distinguished. and herself glowing,
radiant, in white furs and her ever fresh
gardenias. with people recognizing her. mur-
muring to one another, "Regardez! C'est La
Tmrmeile" Jeanne had looked so old-sixty!
- in her musty black clothes, so tired.
Perhaps we will come and visit you. when
you have your farm" Amelie had told her,
patting her sagging shoulder.
VISIT Pierre had scoffed. Don't deceive
yourself, Nellie! Jeanne would charge us board,
wouldn't you. Jeanne?"

lighted in a smile "Mais, certai.1ement.

terly. IL had seemed so little, at
first; twenty years ago, even five
years ago, four thousand francs
had been nothing. the price of a
new gown. Amelie had had a
great deal of money in her life;
she had earned it, but the greater
the money, the greater her debts.
Always it had been so.
She slipped her chocolate, and
her eyes moved about her room.
White and gold - always her
apartments had been white and

affection - Mistinguette. To my
dear Amelie from her friend Sara

sighed. No, she would not be
found dead of starvation even
though her rent was not paid and
her mails full of demands from
angry creditors. Friends would
care for her poor old Amelie
the theater world was kind.
But there was no longer any pre-
tending that she had not reached
the end.
She lifted a heavy volume of
photographs from the table and
bore it to her chair.
How pretty she had been!
Bedute de diable. they called it -
which did not mean devilish
beauty. but that ephemeral, deli
cate loveliness which fades so
devilishly soon. Well. La Tour

the pages slowly. Amelie at

her eyes were wide and laughing,

at an end. Amelie Tournelle
would be sixty in less than a
week. She let the book slide from
her knees. Sixty was too much
yet life would 60 on. Didn't she
know it; hadn't she inexorable,
greedy proof of its going on?
Jeanne Branton had been sixty,
twenty years ago - an old, old
woman.
Amelie shuddered. What would
happen if she. too. lived on and
on. twenty years, perhaps even
more? Sixty years old! If you had
been the faithful maid of a sue
cessful actress, you were retired
at sixty; you were cared for the
rest of your long life. But if you
were the once successful actress,

| ish fashion among his friends. The
gift of $4,000 meant nothing to
his widow and was but a friendly
gesture on the part Of the free
handed senate.
On the other hand the Omen
were all men Of small and moder-
ate means. Their work is always
extremely hazardous. They are
engaged in hunting down type
of criminal who invariably makes
a practice of shooting it out with
the officers. IS
To each of these men and their
families the senate gave 5000.
How the senate Justifies such a
practice I do not understand.
Very obviously the gift to the
Cuttings meant little to that fam
lily. Equally obviously the gift to
the widows of the G-men was not
enough. ~ ~. a.. "
There seems to be something
about the atmosphere of the cap
ital that causes men to lose their
sense of perspective and of value.
Men who guard their personal ex-
penditures very closely in private
life think nothing of tossing off a
cheerio ten thousand dollars or a
hundred thousand of public mon
ey, all of which must be raised by
taxes. This tax money is very often
paid by many small tax payers at
no small cost and sacrifice.
I know a small corporation
whose entire earnings last year
were slightly more than one humid
red dollars, yet this struggling con-
Germ paid in in taxes to the fed
eral government thirty-five dollars
half as much as its en-
tire earnings. ,.o.
I happen to know what close
economy it took, what skimping
and saving to make even a small |
earning. It was a real struggle.
Yet the senate with scant con-
sideration will vote ten thousand
dollars, without even casual con-
where it is not needed.
T mean nothing personal against
the Cutting family. I think as long
as the senate yields to the prac-
tice they were entitled to it.
The thing I am opposed to is
the obvious lack of wisdom and |
discernment this presumably de-
Lucrative body oftimes exercises.
There is a man in my town
whose common wethod for build |
ing himself up is tearing other peo-
pie down. BY doing this he doesn't |
need to say anything about him
self in Dragging way. BY such a
practice he is able to fool the
stranger and the unsuspecting, but
not those who know him. He would |
rather stick knife in the back Of |
another than to say good word
for him.
I look for prohibition to come
back in a different form that will
prove more effective than did the
Volstead law.
The trend of the younger set to-
day is toward nudity.

The same is true Of John Neill,
