to enjoy an enlightening debate up
on theall absorbing and important
subject of ito be or not to be-
whether the old earthquake dam
aged auditorium and deserted II
brary building was to be rased, de-
molished and destroyed, or con-
tinue to stand as a ghost of its
former self to offend the artistic
sensibiiities of some and a threat
ening danger to children in the
central school, a scarce 100 feet
from it. We closed our eyes for q
moment. and behold! our imagin-
ton took flight and we thought we
were transported into a meeting OF

questionable questions, or a session
of the Helena Progressive League

CHAPTER XII

'aThat,s too bad" the other said Browning. we'll suppose well have to send someone else"
 The girl at the desk looked Thoughtful. Maybe" she said after 8 moment, you could borrow a dress"
 Toby knew she couldn't. In all New York there was no one from whom she could borrow a white evening dress. And she couldn't possibly buy one. Her purse con- tained less than $l0. She was going to lose the chance she had dreamed Of, the chance she had prayed for s-because she didn't have a white evening dress. She said, trying to hide her disappointment, "Ill-1u see"
 And then the amazing thing hap pened. The girl in the gray fur coat had been standing with her back toward the other two. She turned now. Listen, Sally" she said, I've got 8 dress she can wear. I'm taller than she is, but we're about the same size otherwise"
 "Oh-would you?" Toby's voice was eager.
 "You1l probably have to turn up khe hem," the girl in the fur coat went on, "but that's easy. I've got slippers to match--I think they'll at you. What size do you wear?"
 "Four-A."
 "Then that's all right. Mine are Ror-B, but nobody will know the difference.
 The girl called Sally said, with some uncertainty, "If you're sure the dress will be all right, Har- Eiet-"
 "Of course it will be all right! tt'g the one I wore for those movie camera ads 8 couple of weeks ago. Don't you remember? It's white satin-with sort of square neck line and couple Of rhinestone clips" Suddenly she looked at her wrist watch. Heavens! I've got to run or I'll be late" Turning to Toby, she said, I'm going to be working for about three hours, but after that I'll be home. Can you come over to my apartment-say about 5 o'clock? You can try on the dress and if it needs to be taken in or anything there1l be time to fix it." She gave Toby the address. "If I'm not there," she finished, wait for me-"
 I'll wait Toby promised. T don't know how to thank you-!'
 "Oh, you can do something for me some time" the other said easily. See you later. Goodby, Sal Jy-" The door closed on the words.
 Toby said, That's terribly nice of her. Why, she'd never even seen me until this morning."
 "Harriets a good scout" the girl ct the desk said. Lets see-did I tell you the time you're to be at the Studio-?"

COMEDY LURES
 PAUL ROBESON
American Negro Singer Has Ambitions of Be-
 coming Funny Man

London (UP)-Paul (Old Man Riyer Robeson, American negro singer, is becoming weary with dignity and he wants to be a comedian.
 Robeson, back in England from Hollywood, where he made a screen version of Show Boat" said he always had a hunch he could play comedy roles, but some one else always thought differ ently.
 T don't mean that I want to be knock-about comedian" he said. That would be ridiculous, but I would like to express some of the grand humor the negro possesses. ''
 Without trace of embarrass- ment the huge negro said he sup posed it was his dignity that al- ways led him into serious or tragic roles.
 When he made the film, "Saun- ders of the River" he would have liked to play Bosambo with more of the characters comic little weaknesses.
 But couldn't put all the hu- nor into my part that Edgar Wal lace intended when he wrote the story" Robeson said.
 T am determined now that there will be more and more hu- nor in my roles in that future nothing broad, but certain sub tlety."
 The singer, who has had two large concerts since his arrival from the United States, will ap- pear with the Stage society soon in a play dealing with Haiti at the time of Napoleon. The author is a young West Indian.

M LAURA LOU URooKAAAA O ,tIs NtSA ss'A.s. tA (

There's a mirror"
 Toby moved to the mirror, stared at the image reflected. "Oh-i" shC said, and then again, "Ohl" shC couldn't believe, for an instant, that the girl in the mirror was herself The gleaming white satin moldeC her figure in a manner that wal witchery-alluring demure. It wa; a dream dress, 8 dress to make dreams come true. Never, in hel widest imagings, had Toby Ryar supposed she could look like this
 Harriet said softly, "I1l have tc sell it to you, Toby. After seeing yoU in that dress I'd never have the nerve to wear 1t again myself. Il was made for youl Of course it will have been turned up about an inch but that's easy. Wait, I'll get the slippers"
 An hour later Toby departed carrying the borrowed evening dress and slippers in paSteboard box One hand on the door, she halted Toby said earnestly, I'll never for get what you've done for me"
 Well" said the other girl, "if that's true it'll be a record-in this town. But I'm glad we happened to meet this morning, Toby. There's something about you--I don't know what it is-but I think we're going to be friends"
 T hope sol"
 Toby said goodbye then and hur- ried down the stairs. She had 20 minutes to reach the studio and Harriet had told her it was im- portant, never, under any circum- stances, to be late.
 She worked until midnight that night and earned $17.50. Two days later she spent morning posing as a housewife making a bed. In the afternoon she stood for three hours while photographer made picture after picture of her feet, clad in smart footwear. At the end of the week Toby's earnings had mounted to $46.30-more than three times what she had earned at Berg
  mans.
 She paid part of her registration fee at the Models League, bought herself 8 pair of black pumps and paid Harriet Holm $10 of the $15 they had agreed upon as the price for the white satin dress. She still had more than her old salary left.
 It was almost, Toby told herself, as though she had stepped into a new world. She felt that she had been going about with her eyes closed. There were 50 many new things in this strange world-new people, now places, new things to do and to think about. She met other models, photographers, artists, ad- vertising salesmen, art directors. She caught glimmerings of the workings of that most complicated of modern businesses, advertising.
 It was all absorbing, exciting Toby worked hard and enjoyed it.. Her eyes sparkled more gaily; her smile was brighter. Each morning she woke, eager to see what the day would bring. At night she dropped into bed, tired but content in the knowledge of a days work done.
 And then-just when Toby felt that she had never been 50 happy something happened that changed everything.

CORONATION ROBES PLANNED

In the hope of receiving the order to make the coronation robes for King Edward VIII firm in Brain tree, England, which provided them for King Edward VII and King George is already teshting the weav- ing of royal gold and purple velvet. The order for the coronation would be a huge one, entailing the weav- ing of thousands of yards of coro- natoin velvet. Samples of the test velvet have first to be submitted to the officials of the Earl Marshal, the Duke of Norfolk, who directs the manufacture of the robes of the king. Every stitch of the robes has to be ordained by official order drawn up by the Earl Marshal. The robes are generally woven at the rate of a yard a week. The cost of the velvet is about $I0O a yard. while that of cloth of gold some- times runs up to $250 yard.
