 Ann smiled faintly, accepted ths fragrant mass of blossoms. Some one led her to a long mirror. and she saw the vision reflected there. She began to tremble vio- lently.
 Always and always she had dreamed of such a moment. Ivory satin, priceless veil, a cap of pearls. orchids. Lovely bridesmaids.

 She was walking back now. the way she had come. The hum of voices, the cadences of the music grew fainter. A door shut. It was all over.

 Ann looked around the room. Piles of silks. rainbow colors, were scattered in confusion. Troussead stuff. Four pretty girls, in pastel shaded gowns, fluttered around the room. They adjusted their hats.
 To Anastasia, standing very still in her satin gown, the waves of re- newed conversation were only to much sound, scarcely touching her consciousness.

Anastasia snapped the last fastening on the bit of lace, sat- in and ribbon which she had just slipped over her head. Standing before the long mirror she turned slowly. taking in each detail of the image she saw. From the tips of the shining creamy satin pumps. with their flashing buckles, to the crown of her smoothly waved hair, she was lovely. Pale. Faintly golGen. Shining.
 She picked up huge puff and slowly dusted her soft flesh. The fragrance of the powder filled the room. A touch of rouge. A drop of perfume behind each ear. She was ready to go into the room be- yond from whence came the buzz of excited conversation.
 With her hand on the door knob Anastasia stopped. When she en- tered that room the old Ann would remain here. The Ann, who for two long years had molded sports suits, tailored dresses, afternoon frocks. The Ann who had been fright ened little package girl"
 The Ann who later became q graceful. competent model. There was neatness about her, fin ished look, that added much to the attractiveness of the gowns she wore. She had walked miles be- fore the critical eyes of potential buyers. She had stood quietly or turned and turned before them. And always she had dreamed.
 In the other room her most cher ished dream would be reality. The .thought left her breathlesss Quickly she stepped through the door, and was epgulfed by the waves of noise. Too many peo- pie. Too much confusion. It made her head ache.
 A woman in frock came to- ward her. She was followed by maid, arms full of simmer ing, creamy satin. Ann caught her breath. A brides dress. And it was for her.
 "Everything is ready, dear. The dress is perfect"
 The dress was lifted from the maids arms.

LINES DRAWN
FOR MELLON
TAX BATTLE

Some of the Governments ace
attorneys today were in Pitts
burgh preparing for the opening
next week of a legal struggle
through which they hope to force
Andrew Mellon, former Secretary
Of the Treasury, to pay an addi-
tional three million dollars in
taxes.
Some months ago a criminal
charge against the elderly Croe-
Sus, revolving about the same
case, was dismissed.
With important tax procedure
issues at stake, the trial is ex-
pected to arouse widespread in
terest.
May Last Month
One of the most brilliant ar.
rays of counsel yet to clash will
carry on the civil suit which, it
is estimated, will last a month.
Frank ]. Hogan, one of the
highest-paid lawyers in the coun-
try, will lead the defense. With
him will be associated former
Senator David Aiken Reed, of
Pennsylvania, Senator Reeds
firm of Reed, Shaw, McClay and
Walker.
The Government will be repre-
Sented by Robert H. Jackson, gen
,eral counsel of the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau. and three assistants
from the tax appeals division, F.
r. Shearer, E. L. Updike and Da-
vid R. Shelton. Government coun-
sci left last night for Pittsburgh.
A Pittsburgh Grand Jury has al
ready refused to indict Mr.. Mel
lon.
The board of tax appeals, before
which the hearing is set, is pre-
sided over by E. H. Van FoSsan.
Mr.. Mellon claims he over paid his
taxes by $139 900 in the years un.
der dispute. The Government
claims he wrote off a loss of be-
tween six and seven million dol.
lars which did not exist, by al
legedly fraudulent reorganization
schemes.
Mr.. Hogan, famed for his activi.
ties before the Senate in the Tea
pot Dome and airmail inquiries,
has two opponents, Mr.. Jackson
and Mr.. Shelton, who never have
been involved in so large a tax
case before. Mr.. jackson came
to Government service a year ago
from practice in his home town of
jamestown, N. Y. Mr.. Shelton'S
reputation was made in the set
Ting of the 40 million dollar Wen

ASSA|LS
MARRIED BAN

''Intrigue, favoritism and social
influence" in Government circles
were assailed by the Rev. DR.. JOS
eph r. Sizoo, pastor of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church,
in his drive against Section 213 Of
the economy act, which discrimi-
mates against married couples in
Government service.
Speaking over the radio last
night, DR.. Sizoo charged that
those in the lower salary brackets
have been hit by this intrigue,
while the higher-paid Government
workers have escaped.
DR.. Sizoo, who has previously
indicated his strong opposition to
the measure, said that the Gov
ernment is in fact an industry
that needs efficient, faithful and
painstaking employees, and OBJ
served that securing of such per-
sons should be the initial consider
alton.

ROPER CENSUS
PLAN To GIVE
$4,000 JOBS
District Office Would Place
5000 on Rolls if Data
Are Authorized

Employment of 5000 additional
workers in the Bureau of the
Census local headquarters and
SO, 900 field workers outside the
District of Columbia was prom,
ised today by the Department OF
Commerce, conditional on the pas
sage OF the pending work relief bill
with its expected appropriation
for a 1885 national census.
The census as recommended by
Secretar yof Commerce Roper
would enumerate population, un-
employed persons, occupations
and employables Of the entire
country.
Data Badly Needed
According to Mr.. Roper, such
information is vitally important
to the program of business re-
covery now being outlined by
many leaders of the country's
civic and industrial as well as
governmental agencies. Figure esti-
mates vary widely, and the Depart
4ACA1O VI NOAAAAAACACC 40 Oo6CA w
gather reliable totals.
To this end, practically identical
bills have been introduced into
Congress by Representatives Ellen
bogen CD of Pennsylvania and
Larrabee (DO Ind, both members
of the House Census Committee,
and by Representative Dunn CD
Pennsylvania, and Senator Costi-
gan CD of Colorado.
Varied Jobs Loom
Field workers would include
supervisors, clerks, and enumera-
tors. The Washington personnel
would be made up of about 1900
tabulators, stenographers, typistS,
and clerks and about $500 opera
tors of machines for adding, total
ling and recording results.
The last national decennial
census of 1880 took about three
years to complete. but included
more categories of information
than are to be included by the
new study.

Blooms S
Soon Ready to
Burst Forth

Swelling buds on the cherry
trees lining the Tidal Basin and
preparations by local hotels for
the yearly influx of visitors, to.
gether with the favorable weather
of the last few weeks, testified
today to the approach of Wash,
ington's annual cherry blossom
season.
Official predictions as to the
probable date of blooming are not
forthcoming, with the National
Parks Service refusing to go
farther than to say the blossoms
are expected sometime early in
April"
In recent years, the trees have
taken no notice of official predic-
tions, other than to upset them,
leaving would-be prophets red
faced. Hence, no doubt, the re-
luctance of our oracles this year.
The fact that the second annual
Cherry Blossom Festival has been
Cancelled is not expected to
dampen outside enthusiasm to any
great extent and the hotels have
gone ahead with their pre-blossom
time activities as in former years.

LAST TOUCHES
PUT ON COURT
B BUILDING
New Home for the Supreme
Tribunal to Be Turned Over
To the U. S. in Month

Workmen today were anchor
ing the huge bronze gates in the
marble halls of the new Supreme
Court Building while other arti.
sans carefully put the finishing
touches on the temple of justice
preparatory to turning it over
to the United States, probably
within a month.
The building was to have been
completed last Friday but due
to a number of unfinished odds
and ends it will not be ready for
occupancy by the Supreme Court
until the fall term, David Lynn,
architect of the Capitol, believes.
Rich Appointments
Visitors are allowed a peek at
the private suites of the justices
and are given a free rein in
examining a building so rich in
appointments that even the
inches concealing the fire hose
are inclosed with solid bronze
doors.
The bronze gates being put in
place today will cut the building
in half. They are being hung on
all floors and it is behind their
intricate grillwork that the court
will work.
The gates will cut off from the
public, the court room, libraries,
conference rooms, and the JUS
tees suites.
Garage in Basement
The basement houses four
garages where cars can be driven
in and serviced while the fate OF
the nation is being decided above.
The ground floor will house a
cafeteria and document rooms.
Room after room of spaciousness
will shelter the marsharS records,
court records and briefs filed away
for precedent's sake.
The floor above is reached
through the main door. The re-
ception hall that sweeps from
huge bronze doors to the court
room will be unfurnished except
for marble benches. Here and
there in the inches between the
columns will be placed the busts
Of the great. Most of the great
marble quarries Of the world have
contributed to, the construction.
Kitchen for Justices
Behind the bench is a hallway
leading to the suite for Chief JUS
tice Hughes and on either side Of
the courtroom are the suites of
the associate justices. All the
comforts that could be needed
have been provided for these
judges, including an electrical
kitchen that would make any
housewife jealous.

AFGE REVEALS
WORK REPORTS.

Optional retirement after 80
years of service and board of ap.
peals on which employees would
have direct representation are two
strong desires of Federal workers
stationed outside the limits of the
continental United States, accord
ing to results revealed today by the
questionnaireS sent to all workers
by Representative William I. Siro-
vich CD0 of New York.
The questionnaires, which are
being tabulated by the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes, reveal that workers in the
tropics feel that no age limit
should be placed on optional re-
tirement, and where such limits
are suggested the employees in
dicate an age Of SIS years is suffi-
cient.
Most of the employees, stationed
either in territories or dependen-
cies of the United States or the
foreign service proper, indicate
in their returns that a board of
appeals is vital, although they
are divided as to whether it
should include union representa-
ton or be wholly independent
under the Jurisdiction Of the
President.
Although returning circulars in
dicate a desire for higher pay on
the part of m any Fedora !
workers in foreign lands, tabu-
lators said today that there is
general recognition that the pay
scales for American-born en-
ployeS are fair.

Flash! Kentucky has another
colonel!
But this ones different. She's
none other than Col. Rita Hol-
land, secretary to James A. Moi
fett, Federal Housing Admin
istrator.
Up from the Blue Grass State
comes word that Governor Ruby
Laffoon has appointed Miss
Holland to his staff as aide de
camp. That, of course, gives
her the title of Colonel, which
sounds just as good as any other
kind, even though the Ken
lucky brand may never lead a
regiment.
Miss Holland is not a Kentuck-
ian, her appointment from Gov
ernor Laffoon being regarded
in the Housing Administration
as a reward for her assistance
to state officials who transact
business with her office.
She came to Washington from
New York, where she had been
secretary to Mr.. Moffett when
he was with the Standard OIL
Company. She is a native of
Omaha.
