Aug. %, 80 b. C.-The best known
of all the Cleopatras, which was the
title of the queens of the Ptolemy dy-
nasty, killed herself with poison
mot with an asp, as Shakespeare
says.)
No woman in history has been rob
ed in such glamour, yet the plain
fact is that she wasn't beautiful. She
had a too prominent nose.
There is no secret to her attrac-
ton to men: she was virtual ruler OF
powerful country and "the power
of her wit greatly elevated hel
charms; her manner, too, was en-
chanting and irresistible. No female
could boast of such a voice; for sc
great was it's variety of meditation
that it resembled an instrument OF
many strings. She is said to have
spoken 30 languages; there were few
foreign ambassadors to whom she
could not give audience in their own
tongue.
Aug. %, A. D.-John the Baptist
was beheaded. The son of a cousin
of Mary the Mother, he was the fore
runner of Jesus; he baptised, preach
ed repentance and forgiveness after
he had spent years alone in the de-
sert, disciplining himself.
He did not live long after he had
baptised Jesus. For he had denounc-
ed Herod, king of Judea. for taking
Herodias, wife of Herod's brother
AS Mark 6: 1928 tells it
Therefore Herodias had a quarrel
against him, and would have killed
him; but she could not:
For Herod feared John. knowing
that he was a just man and an holy,
and observed him; and he heard him,
he did many things, and heard him
gladly.
And when a convenient day was
come, that Herod on his birthday
made supper to his lords, high cap
tains and chief estates of Galilee;
And when the daughter of the said
Herodias came in, and danced. and
pleased Herod and them that sat
with him, the king said unto the
damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou
wilt, and I will give it thee -.
And she went forth, and said unto
her mother What shall 1 ask? And
she said, The head of John the Bap-
fist.
"And she came in straightway with
haste to the king, and asked. saying.
I will that thou give me by and by
IN a charger the head of John the
Baptist.
And the king was exceedingly
sorry; yet for his oaths sake. and
for their sakes which sat with him,

New York, Aug. 29-Interview
With a Cigarette Girl:
Q. (Gallantly0 You are much pref
tier than any of the girls in the
chorus of this night club entertain
ment. How is it that you aren't a.
mong them?
A. Oh, have a living to make A
sick mother to support. "a wink) The
most they can earn is about $35 a
week. Sometimes T make as much as
S3S
@. But wouldn't you like to be on
the stage?
A. OF course I would. Don't be a
sap.
@. What do you get for those stuff
fed dogs in your tray?
A. Five dollars only. Would you
@. No, thank you. (Hastily.) But
that seems lot to ask for little toy
like that.
A. Of course. They used to be ST..
Then business got little better and
they were So. The place is packed
tonight and 1 ask SIS and if things
keep on picking up I'll get $40. You
letter get yours in a hurry. In 1929
people say these things brought $25.
Q. And you get percentage on all
of them?
A. Oh, no, l get a regular salary.
The concession pays $4,000 a year to
the night club to sell cigarettes, dolls,
dogs and flowers. OF course, if / am
selling a doggie for SIS and the price
is supposed to be So, I consider the
extra 81 tip and keep it.
@. And cigarettes?
A. Oh, I'm supposed to give over
all my tips to the concessionaire. But
you know how it is. 1 give them a
reasonable tip, but any extra, extra
tips 1 keep. That's perfectly fair,
think.
@. Why are all the cigarette girls
so small? None of you can be over
five feet three.
A. Use your head, mister. If we
were tall we'd cut off the view of the
floor from the customers. See that
tall waiter over there? He says he
has served 5000 meals and drinks
kneeling down. Says he wears out the
knees of his trousers regularly once
a month.
@. And on your night off? Do you
go to another night club with your
boy-friend?
A. Heavens, no! We go to a dance
hall and hoof it to good swing music
@. l noticed you try to sell flowers
and dolls and dogs to some couples
and parties. but you pass others up.
