CHAPTER XIV

When she reached her room she opened one of the envelopes anc drew out small slip on which was typed: "A telephone call was received for you at SIS. Please call Schuyler 4927." The other contained a similar slip, but the time was g p. m.
 "Derek's number!" Gail mur- finured What can he want?"
 Good morning, Miss Everett, exclaimed Miss Carolie next morn- ing. T guess you'll have to carry on alone again today, for Madame can't come down. If there's anything l can do to help you just let me know Better keep right on with the models for the 'Pre-Holiday Parade"
 All right" Gail said as she hurried to her desk. But as soon as she had things started for the day she stepped into the telephone booth and called Derek. There was no answer. She tried again at noon, and still later on her way home, but no gay voice came to her over the wire.
 She called again the next day, and the one after that; but still thore was no reply, Gail could not understand it. Surely there must have been. some urgent necessity that had made Derek call her twice in such short time. A thousand worrying thoughts sped through her mind as the week drew to a. close. Why had he failed to. keep his date with her? But throughout the week Gail had little time to think of her own affairs, for. Madame's injuries had proved more serious than she had first thought and the burden of the work rested on Gail. One afternoon Madame Lizette sent for her to come to the apartment with Ariadne so that she. might give her special instructions about some of. the models.
 Gail had gone with decided mis- givings, for Ariadne had been far from helpful. The moment Calls back was turned Airadne would slip. from the fitting room, and time as well as patience had to be wasted hunting for her. And while she posed, Ariadne kept complaining about everything, as if the young designer hadn't enough worries already! What made Gail especially annoyed was that, when they were at Madame's, Ariadne took particular pains to be most charming.
 Gail wondered about this as she directed Toinette with her work on Friday afternoon. Perhaps the finisher sensed what was in the girls mind. for she Said, "You mustn't mind Ariadne. You see, Madmae promised her that she'd give her a chance to do some de- signing. She never has and that's why Ariadne is so disagreeable "
 "So that explains 1t! We'll, I'll see if I can't do something about that"
 But at that moment Lita en- tered. "Rita Cordell's in the show room and Miss Carolie says for you to show her some of the fash ion show styles. If she wants photographs, ask her to tell you which models she can use and we'll have the pictures made for her."

A hunting expedition in Africa captured eight gorillas. The gorillas were placed in cages in the ground which were connected by trenches as the diagram above shows. The gorillas were numbered as shown and 1t was found necessary to re- arrange them in order, 1, ?, 3, etc. through 8, leaving the ninth cage vacant. It was necessary to move them in the fewest moves possible, each time placing one in the only vacant cell available, no two being allowed nj one cell at any time. What are the moves? You might draw rough diagram and use numbered counters to help you. That way the moves can be simply recorded 3-7-8-4, or-you solve itl

TWO THOUSAND years after
 A his birth, the great Roman lyric poet, Horace, remains today the idol of many a college alum nus. For this genial versifier, who sang the praises of a care- free, indulgent life, is still the favorite of those who studied his Latin lines in school.
 Quintus Horatius Flaccus, born in Venusia, Italy, in 65 B. C., was directed by his father into a lit- erary career. The wealthy Mae cenas, adviser to the Emperor Augustus, became his patron, set him up in villa on the Sabine Hills near Rome, and brought to him the educated and the rich, while Horace supplied the girls, the wine, and his odes for de- lightful "week-ends." These odes have inspired many a modern poet.
 Horace died at the age of S7. Last year, on the 2O00th anniver- sary of his birth. Italy issued

Chess Club Activities
(BY A. B. BARKER)

The big news in the chess world for the past week as far as Con- necticut is concerned was center ed around the fall meeting of the club Saturday evening. The pr1n- ciple business conducted was the adoption of the new committees and many radical changes were made in the league set up. Diff ferent committees, for carrying on the work of the league were pro- vided for and during the current week the president, Charles Velte. will appoint members who will serve on these committees.
 w. A. Hough of the Travellers Club of Hartford was elected tournament director to succeed A. B. Barker who has resigned that position. MT. Hough should be able to do 8 very capable job, because he has had considerable exper- fence along these lines in direc- ting not only the activities Of the Hartford and Travellers Chess Clubs, but also in conducting the City Championship Tournaments in Hartford. He is 8 player him. self and can appreciate the many problems which come up in the course of tournaments and with the assistance of the arbitration committee set up by the league should have no difficulty enforc- ing the rules.
 The Waterbury Chess Club
 Last week saw the opening of the new rooms of the Waterbury Chess Club at 16S East Main street. Players are meeting there nightly to get in as much practice as they can for the championship and Class B Tournament which will open next Monday. Entries for these tournaments have been coming in steadily during the past week and to those who have not already filed their formal entry they will have only until October 10 to do so. Tournament director, w. H. Warner, insists that mid- night on the 10th will be closing day for all entires and the tourn- ament will start regardless of the fact that some have failed to en- ter. He has indicated he has im- portapt announcements to make early next week and a special ar- ticle will appear in all Connecti- cut daily papers next Monday which should be well for every chess player to read.

 President Charles ,O'Brien was 7 present at the meeting of the Connecticut Chess League and as- sures everyone that practically all of the strong players from the Y. M. c. A. are ready not only for the Inter City team champion ship to be conducted by the Con- necticut League, but for the City championship and their own club championship as well. There is no definite information as to just when the club champio pionship will start but as soon as it does all will be posted on the results. If possible publication of some of the games is assured.

 aston Yesterday

Involving an amount said to be high in the thousands, the Thomas estate in Thomaston yesterday sold to the Thomaston Savings bank a piece of property at the corner of Main and High streets.

Joseph w. Sculiy will head the morning Mattatuck Collegiate Gen. ter which will open next Tuesday morning in the Central YMCA. MT. Scully was the logical choice for faculty leader ir1asmuch as he was assistant director of the Community College last year.

The addition of two of his courses, Philosophy and Problems of Philosophy, to the curriculum bring the highest type of intellec- tual collegiate subject to this years adult education program. His first year college Latin class will give the student grammar, prose writing and popular translations from classical
