~Wanted, an oid-fashioned girl"
The words leaped at Martha from

disseminated eyes beneath the thin,
movie-star brows grew amused
and then family wistful as they
read:

tina briefly.
Odd, she thought, as the room
mate departed, about the break
with Tim. They had just gradually
ceased to care, since he had come
to the city. She remembered the
weeks she had looked forward to
his arrival; then how funny and
countrified he had looked, getting
off the train--his suit rumpled, his
hat the wrong shape, his hair too
long.
The changes in her had plainly
impressed him-the marcel and
lipstick and smart costume, the
quick comeback of her speech.
It had been fun introducing him
to New York and it's ways; but
very soon Tim had acquired the
.city's exclusive stamp. Sometimes
seeing him patterned in dress and
manner like all the rest, Martha
had had a queer pang of regret for
the boy who had looked about in
the station with his excitement, be-
wilderment and longing so open on
his face. Tins face was no longer
open; what he felt was hidden be-
hind the city veneer he had adj
mired.

I'll these things defeat themselves.
So Haggai stirred up the people
with a new zeal. He brought them
the message concerning a world
which was not the world belonging
to the devil or the world belonging
to lust and greed: 1t was a world
that belonged to God and a world
that could find its right uses only
as the cody accepted its wealth and

The ministerial declaration said
the government recognizes 1t is
impossible TO defend the franc at

The parity Of the franc will
therefore be modified. The obliga-

The premier outlined the gravity
OF the situation caused by a decrease
In the national banks gold stock

The gold standard, he said, has
been virtually suspended and the
country has been operating with two
Currencies Of varying values. one
for domestic and the other for for

Modification Of the francs pres
ent gold parity has become neceS-

Belgium, however, remains faith
ful TO the principle Of the gold

its international functioning, we
propose to use all means in our
power to hasten establishment OF
an international court whereby the
