preoccupied with his business.


Julie walked in. She gave a long,
low, rueful whistle at Virginia's news.
"Good heavens, what a calamity!
This'll spoil your looks! Don't you
understand child, that it was your
beauty which first attracted Henry?"
But it's the natural thing. Every
one goes through it," protested Vir-
ginia, uncertain, and little frighten-
ed.
Not so soon, darling! 1t isn't clev-
er! Why, you and Henry hardly
know each other yet! You don't I'M
derstand this town-the temptations
that rich, good-looking husbands have
put in their way. And think of how
you'll look! Why, the glamor will be
gone almost directly after the cere-
mony, darling!"
But to jules further suggestions,
Virginia was too startled to lend an
ear.
The two girls lunched together and
played backgammon on the terrace.
Henry did not call up till almost five.
He was terribly sorry, but he was
unable to keep the dinner-and-t theatre
appointment he had with his wife that
evening, as he had a conference to at
tend. This was all the more disap-
pointing, in that it was Henry's last
evening in town before departing on
a business trip.

CHAPTER x

Why go home when Henry wasn't
going to be there? Accompanied by
Chotty and Mr.. Cutting and the gigo-
lo-like young man she had been gamb-
ling with, she went into a cardreom
at one side of which was large buff
fet-table fairly groaning with sand
wiches and cold chicken and salads
and things. These were "on the
house" if one had been gambling.
Thereafter, they danced to three
piece orchestra. Virginia's admirer
taught her the newest tango. Be-
tween times, they slipped a highball.
1t was the smart thing to do, among
this set. But Virginia didn't feel so
happy. She was recollecting jules
words. Was Henry deceiving her?
A couple of weeks went by. Henry
was increasingly absorbed in bust
ness. Because of this, the housewarm
ing at the new penthouse on Park
Avenue had to be postponed.
Dario, the goodlooking man whom
Chotty had made acquaintance with
on the train coming from the South,
had been up several times to play
bridge with the girls, and had taken
them out couple of times. Chotty
had been perfectly wiling to go out
alone with him, but Virginia had pro-
tested. What did they really know
about the man? Curious, too, those
somewhat heavy losses Virginia had
endured at bridge when he was her
opponent
Chotty had date one afternoon to
meet Dario in the very newest Society
'bar" the gay town offered. Virginia
went with her, loath to have Chotty
go by herself to any such place. OAR
10 was waiting for them below. They
went up narrow stairs to a wdie room,
with great circular bar in the center.
'Why, it's moving. We're moving"
gurgled Chotty, who had seated her
self on a high stool whose arm was a
wooden horses head. "This is bet
ter than the Kentucky Derby!'
A circular platform had been cut
out from the floor around the bar,
which with its occupants on the stools
was slowly revolving.
Dario ordered old-fashioneds for
himself and the girls.
But Chotty was to receive an even
greater shock than the moving bar
and encourage. For who should walk
into this newest, most fashionable
spot but Lefty Glynn, with George
Loomis at his elbow! -
$50 this is where all the highlights
come, eh?" Lefty was remarking in
his carrying voice. He heard a sud-
den squeal, and perceived Chotty, with
Dario, and Virginia Van lyle.
Chotty recovered herself quickly.
Not for worlds would she let Dario,
that polished, handsome man-of-the
world think this roughneck was any
thing to her!
$50 you're arrived in civilization,
have your" This was her reply to

so-called volunteers" to fight for
the Spanish insurgents.
France, it was stated, Is pre-
pared to keep any more volunteers
from reaching Spain via French
territory if a blockade is agreed
on, and wants Britain to bring
pressure on Portugal to take
similar action. That would cut
off all means Of ingress to Spain
by land, and the British and
French navies, under the sug-
gested blockade, would take care
of the 6eaports.
Britain, however, showed no en-
thusiaSm for such a drastic step
which it was feared might lead
to the much-dreaded incident"
touching off a general European
war.
Only if Germany herself ap-
proved the blockade as part of a
general agreement to make non
intervention really effective would
Britain lend her warships to the
blockade plan, it was authorita-
lively stated.
Both France and the Soviets,
therefore, will back the idea as
one means of keeping the civil
war confined to Spain when the
non-intervention committee meets
for that purpose Thursday.
French anger could hardly be
suppressed today when it trans
pired that Hitler did not even in
tend to look at the Franco-British
notes until after the holidays.
France, it was learned, informed
Britain that she was no more will
ing to tolerate a German regime
in Spain than Germany was will
ing to tolerate a Soviet regime
there.
Italy is now swinging around
to the same point Of view. Gradu-
ally putting a stop to her own aid
for the Spanish insurgents and
participating more actively in ef-
forts to tighten up non interven-
tion, Italy looks askance at the re-
ported prospect of seeing 10000
more Nazi troops almost in Italy'S
front dooryard.

MADRID, Dec. % G.NS).
Fighting on a tremendous scale.
with nearly 1000 radicals reported
slain, broke out on five fronts to-
day as Madrid defiantly backed
up the anarchists holding the
German ship paloS at Bilbao.
Under one Of the most destruc-
tive artillery bombardments of the
civil war, rebels invaded Madrid
east of the Casa de Campo sector,
but were repelled after the loyalistS
reorganized. South of Madrid the
loyalists penetrated half a mile N
the Carabanchel Bajo district, but,
according to the broadcast of Gen.
Queipo de Llano at Deville, the
insurgents diSlodged loyalists from
strong positions near Villavarde,
killing 72 reds.

Great Britain today ordered its
Madrid embassy closed as soon as
possible, following the move the
United States made several weeks
ago.
AS new fighting broke out around

all persons living as refugees in

Sleepless, the Pope battled with
pain in his leg, caused by varicose

holy communion. For breakfast
he had only a cup of warm milk.

Hadassah Speaker
Stresses Zion Move

Mobilization Of Jewish public
opinion for Zionist action was
urged today by Mrs. Samuel Schulz
singer, of Newark, N. j., at the
thirteenth annual convention of
the Junior Hadassah in the May
flower Hotel.
Addressing the convention at its
luncheon meeting on the subject
THE Coming World Zionist Con-
gress," Mrs. Schulsinger, member
of the national board of the
Senior Hadassah, told the 1000
delegates and alternates that the
biennial world congress next sum-
mer will be one of the most i'm
portant in the history of the Zion
iSr movement for the establish
ment of Palestine as homeland
for the Jews. The Congress will
probably be held in Geneva.
Mrs. Schulsinger announced
that a campaign will soon be
launched to promote a larger sale
of "shekelS' contributions for the
congress. It is hoped that 1,000,-
900 Jews will contribute to the
fund.
To Show Film
The convention will close to-
night with a showing of the Pales-
tine film "This is the Land" ="
Later today, new officers will be
elected and resolutions will be
adopted.

at the morning sessions was the
announcement that this conven-
ticn was the largest in the 16
years Of the Junior Hadassah.
Membership in the organization
jumped from 1900 to $4,000 in
the past year. The membership
committee also reported that the
largest membership increase was
in Milwaukee, where there was a
1913 per cent increase.

ToyIor-Young
At Palace.

Robert Taylor and Loretta
Young, a double-header star team,
is holding over for a second week
at Loew's Palace Theater.
Their story, private Number, "
adapted from the stage play,
Common Clay" presents a ro-
nance between the Cinderella
girl and the son of wealth.
Somewhat stereotyped in fiction
form, Private Number" neverthe-
less, works out as audiences prefer.
The little personal maid of the
Long Island family captures the
millionaire. 1t is old stuff, but it
never loses it's appeal.
Private Number" has some ex-
cellent side acting. Movie fans are
ready to give a hand anytime to
Patsy Kelly who hobs in every now
and then with a wiSecrack, to
Basil Rathbone, who is a villain,
winding up with deserved punch
in the jaw.
On the supplementary program
is new Silly Symphony and the
latest issue of the Hearst-Metro-
tone news reel.

Playing
otCoIumbid

Much has been written con-
corning the film, Fury" and all
of it favorable to the picture.
Those who have not seen this
remarkable film now have the
opportunity to view it at the
Columbia.
Fury" we will say again, is
as imprisoned and sincere a
piece of acting as we have ever
seen. It is a spirited attack on
mob rule but, quite aside from
the fact that it may point a
moral, it is an utterly gripping
story.
We warn you, however, that
it is strong dramatic fare and
the suspense, at times, is not
good for weak hearts.
Spencer Tracy and Sylvia Sgd
ney have the leading roles in
this drama and both rise to the
full dramatic pitch demanded by
the plot. Other FINLAND notables
who contribute to the film are
Edward Ellis, Bruce Cabot and
Frank AlbertSon.
A number of shorter film sub
jectS are also on the Columbia
program,
