She was to see him again:

Natalie glanced at her friend.
"I'm sorry for Dick Searles with

"Oh, you mean" Then she
stopped in confusion. "Well, nat

. Their talk drifted to other top

stocks she'd just bought: Zone OF

Eyes" answered Natalie. "Uf
course / don't buy mining stocks,
so I've nothing to dispose of, but
one thing I can tell you-every
time Arlene has given me a tip
like that she's been right"
"But | thought the Travers'
family were so rich!' exclaimed
Gail. u

plenty, but you should see what a
rumor on Wall Street can do 20
any fortune, especially if it's the
least bit shaky."
When Gail said good night to
Natalie, her thoughts were still!

if anything happened to her
fathers fortune? Then she re

backing Madame, and, with sud-

the TroverS company crashed,
perhaps Gail, too, would lose her

on the wall Of his studio, stuck
his brushes into a jar, and pulled
off his smock. If he didn't meet

thought of all he had said after

Searles exclaimed as she rushed
toward Gail, coming out of the
employees entrance of Madame
Lizette's shop at 5 o'clock. "I'm
frightfully sorry got you into

Suddenly Gail was laughing,
though she'd felt upset all after

"Well, we can make it in an

that order and a lot more because
I'll never recommend her to any

still felt the sting of her humilia-

"Have you seen any Of the girls

b the Associated Press.
Expecting Vice President Garner to
reach Washington early this week,
Congressmen in both Houses specu-
lated today on the political significance
Of his Unexpectedly early return.
He will arrive nearly fve weeks
ahead Of the opening of Congress jan
uary S. although in past years he has
preferred to remain at his Uvalde, Tex,
home until few days before the ses-
sion.
An acknowledged authority on tax
problems, Garner is expected to confer
with Chairman Harrison, Democrat, OF
Mississippi, of the Senate Finance
Committee on proposed revisions Of the
Nations revenue system. -
Harrison has promised minor
changes In the levy on undistributed
corporation surpluses whenever expe-
rience exposes "inequities in the law
In addition, he has been working close
ly with experts of the Joint Congress
sional Committee on Internal Revenue
studying methods Of simplifying the
entire tax structure.
Senate attaches said Gamers advice
would be highly respected" since he
was q member of the House Ways and
Means Committee for nearly two
decades.
They predicted, however. that he
would find few pressing political ques-
tions awaiting him, since many admin
istration leaders, including President
Roosevelt. are out Of the city. Friends
suggested he might leave Washington
after few days for a hunting trip III

LONDON, November 30.-All other
issues confronting the British govern
ment at home and abroad are mo-

by the crisis-no longer secret-which
confronts the cabinet, the King and
the empire as result Of the Simpson

popularity with the masses Is great

King proves adamant-to make it i'm
possible for him to marry Mrs. Simp-
son legally. At the moment the period
of calm persuasion is about at an end
and pressure is in process Of being
applied.

by one lone American woman, may well
force a cabinet crisis and create sit
uation in which the King will find
himself confronted by solid body Of
