Other Chinese sources alleged
that japanese soldiers started the
firing when the Chinese army COM
mander refused them permission to
enter a Chinese army area for their
maneuverS.
There were three separate clash
es. The last which started at
11:40 am, was believed to have
ceased only this afternoon.
Chinese authorities said there
had been no serious fighting in the
third clash. Apparently Chinese
soldiers were sniping from the walls
of the town of Wanpinghsien.

from her and got up. But when
she got to the door, she turned
back to the gray crepe.
who's to say that wouldn't be
better? I'd take it in exchange
for this! But had no choice!"
She closed the door and went
back to the Office.
She had one more thing to do
before she left. She had Miss
Higgins transcribed notes to read.
Letitia had taken notes Of every
thing that had been said there
that morning.
It all seemed clear on the typed
pages to Mari now. It hadn't in
the morning when she had been
too surprised, too overwhelmed to
comprehend it.
The capital was to be supplied
by the owners Of four textile
houses, four fur importers, the
makers of what, in America, Mari
had called novelties. The sug.
gested plans were for rebuilding
a mansion on the rue de la Paix-
four hoors-and all plans for
architecture, decorating and or
ganization were to be controlled
| by Mari and the Countess Anetka
Illovitch.
The terms were prehensible.
The notes were to be of long
lstanding duration.
Anetka, Mari knew, would agree
to whatever Mari suggested. For
| all these four hours, Mari had
tried to decide if she dared to en-
bark on such an ambitious project.
Before her lay, she knew, great
success or ignominious failure.
Hers and Anetka's. For once .
dressmaker had failed, it was the
end. There was no coming back.
Would it be better to progress
slowly =.
The thought arrested her, and
another came.
She made quick note. Miss
Higgins must summon the com.
mittee.
| Mari Barat was ready to expand
but she was prudent; for her there
would be no grand house on the
rue de la Paix. There would be
no formal opening and no season
showings like the grande contour.
She would take a larger estab-
lishment, expand. but she would
wait a year or two until she was
ready and proved to take her
place.
That night when she left the
shop, she had decided.
And she had won a victory over
herself. Because her first thought
when she was alone that day had
been that curiously inexplicable
one of women who have loved and
lost: I'll do it and Tony will see!
She had wanted to triumph over
him, hurt him.
| And yet she would have given
her heart to spare him the slight

were artists. And she had the
thing they had. She tried to find
it, translate her lines into artlcu-
late analysis.
She got up then and went into
the shadowy workroon1. In the
dim light of the night lamp she
looked at the figures on dummies.
The in-shapen, unfinished models.
Surely there could be no art IN
these with their pins and basting.
Her eyes wandered over the
machines, the heavy irons, the cut
ting tables, the debris on the
floor. Softly her fingers touched
them one by one. Her kingdom!
She sat on stool and picked
up muslin pattern.
Automatically she corrected a
penciled line on the muslin. A
curve at that point would make
bulge. She Strengthened the line
and, holding the muslin, looked
back to the past.
Just so she had sat on another
night in a dim workroom, looking
at herself not in triumph but in
defeat. Her future finished, her
dream ended, her heart mound
Of ashes. A hurt, perplexed and
wounded girl.
And now she was woman with
a waiting world ready to lay
tribute at her feet. Still she saw
not her tomorrows but her yester-
days.
She heard again the words that
had struck deep into her heart.
First, Tonys angry, excited words.
And then the model saying, "She
has been his best girl for years"
She knew now what the future
held for her if she became the sue
cess that others expected her to
be. She sensed, if she did not
know, the rewards there were for
her. The worlds for her to enter.
the globe for her to travel. the
upward steps to wealth and glory,
the inestimable distance from OBJ
security to fame.
And she knew the full measure
of loneliness.
"I have a single heart" she
murmured. Her heart knew sad
ness, the deep well of pain that
is. no longer edged with the sharp
ness of grief, yet too deep to hold
within the control of the spirit.
There is no joy, no triumph that
touches the heart and is still whole
if that heart is alone. She could

ton and enjoy them, but she could

CHAPTER q


VICTORIA being told that she
was to be the Queen of Englapd'
Another girl-not so young as
Victoria had been-folded her
hands quietly and tried to look
into the empire that was offered
to her.
It was an empire-the far-flung
reaches where her name would be
known, where her subtleties in
creation would rule the fashion
worlds of two continents.
It was a dream about to come
true. A tearsome, awesome dream
too big to comprehend, too big
to disregard, too big to embrace
without awe. To be one Of 10!
Only 10. Rulers of the dress
making world. And beneath those

count, to labor-copyists of a

ter!
1.-THE power! The satisfaction!
The THRILL" she had said to Tony
Castle once.
Now she thought only Of the
responsibility, the tremendous
burden, the need for more than
talent or knowledge. And she felt
very small, very unworthy. And
only a little afraid.
Out beyond, in the dimness of
the showroom at midnight, she
saw a procession of figures
nebulous shadows Of the future
challenging her with the task of
keeping that procession endless
as long as she lived.
She knew that fashions were
born and died with the seasons
land that the seasons were many.
And that there was no respite for
the artist.
|! She Strengthened then, thinking
Of herself as an artist. She was
an artist, she told herself fiercely.
But she had believed it more deep
ly when she had told Tony Castle
that she was. Then she had been
thinking Of the joys Of creation,
not of the unending urgency of
constant production.
Her fingers reached out and
itouched silk and her heart warmed
to the touch. She could never
touch fabric without wanting to
make something beautiful of it,
something to add to beauty. It
had been, and was, an inarticulate
love. Now it awed her.
! She picked up a cigaret, put it
down unlighted.
To think that this had come to
her! Why? How? At that mo-
ment she couldn't believe that the
magic lay in her hasty sketches.
Now that her art was recognized,
she couldn't believe it was art.
Slowly she turned the pages

An Important Vice-President

IT'S a standard joke that the vice
L president of the United States is
about the most unimportant indi-
vidual in our federal government
unless the President happens to die.
In that case he Immediately be-
comes a very important man. But
there was one vice president whose
high place in American history is
due to his own death, rather than
that of a President.
In 1884 Thomas A. Hendricks of
Indiana, who had served as con-
gresham, senator and governor
and who had twice before been an
unsuccessful candidate for the Pres
idency and once before defeated for
the vice presidency, was elected
vice president when Grover Cleve-
land defeated Blaine, the Republi-
can candidate. Hendricks died eight
months after his inauguration but
his death while in office was not
unique. Four other vice presidents
George Clinton, Elbridge Gerry,
William R. King and Henry Wilson
had suffered the same fate. But
for the first time in three-quarters
of century America became aware
of the potential dangers in such a
situation.
The Constitution provides that in
the case of removal, death, resigna-
ticn or disability of a President,
the vice president shall succeed
him. But in 1885 the vice president
was dead. Suppose now that the
President should also die, resign or
be removed from Office. Who would
then become President? Neither the
Constitution nor any act of congress
had provided for that emergency,
and apparently no one had ever
gwen any thought to its possible re-
suits.
So congress got busy and on jan
uary 19, 1886 it passed a law pro-
viding for a Presidential succession
in case the vice president could
not serve. Under its terms the Sec
retary of state would become Presi-
dent. In case he, too, would be un-
able to serve, the next in line would
be the secretary of the treasury
and so on down the cabinet-sec-
retary of war, encouragement,
postmaster general, secretary of
the navy, secretary of the interior,
secretary of agriculture, secretary
of commerce and secretary of la
Dor.
Thus in bringing about this
change Thomas A. Hendricks be-
came an important vice president
-l@lt he had to die to do it!

Dwelling ON Grievances
Power of Trouble Is Increased
And Distributed by Talking of 1t

seldom do it to get helpful sug-
gestions. They are bespeaking
sympathy and often are disturbed,
hurt or annoyed, when they get
advice, even though it be excel
lent. What is wanted is to hear
expressions of understanding Of
their position as difficult, and to
hear their actions considered
wise. Is this not really what we,
ourselves, hope to hear when
we air our troubles?
Trouble MOngers
When we are awakened to the
fact that talking of our woes adds
to those of the listener without
lessening ours, that we are i'm
planting troubles in the minds of
others, we surely will try to be
more careful about giving vent TO
the misfortunes by talking about
them. Moreover, if we do con-
tinue to be trouble mongers, no
one will be eager to talk with us.
Winning Out.
If, instead of dwelling on our
grievances, we discuss pleasant
topics, we are not only giving
pleasure to others, but we are ac-
tually doing ourselves a kindness
as well. We diminish our own
depression by rising above our
troublous thoughts, thus becom-
ing conquerors in and through our
conversation.

The Coolidge examiner., 1937-03-04

THERE is a curious and very
l. much mistaken idea that by
talking of our grievances and our
troubles, we decrease their pow
er over us to make us miserable.
Instead, by dwelling on them we
reinforce their power. We not
only do this, but we scatter the
seeds of their discomfort, as we
unburden our hearts, and a whole
new crop of disturbing thoughts
enters into the minds of those who
bear with us during our outpour-
ing of words.
Making Misery.
If the person to whom we speak
is near and dear TO us, our
troubles weigh on them almost as
their own. We are unwittingly
the cause to them of an added
weight of discordant thoughts,
and perhaps they may be trying
to get the better of their own
botherS.
Sympathy Versus Help.
We have only to consider the
effect on ourselves of listening to
others talk of their worries, mis-
fortunes, and hard luck, to real
ize the depressing power of such
conversation. 1t is seldom we can
do anything to help them. In fact

His Gun Became a "Judge"

COMEONE once observed: ct h
~ Declaration of Independence
stated that all men are equal, but
the Colt revolver made that state
ment fact" Certainly that was
proved on the Western frontier
where the quality of man depended
upon his quickness of the draw"
and where this little weapon be-
came the symbol of law in law
less land-it was judge, jury and
high eXecutioner all in one. Little
wonder then that it should become
Known as Judge Colt"
The father of Judge Colt" was a
Connecticut Yankee, born in 1914.
AS boy Samuel Colt listened to
veterans talk about battles of the
Revolution and especially about the
feats of rileman named Tim Muir
ply who had a double-barrelled RI
he. If someone could invent gun
that would shoot five or six times
without reloading, that nation would
rule the world. But, of course, that
was impossible, said the men Of
that day.
Young Sam Colt didn't believe it
was impossible. So he began ex-
perimenting with a four-barrelled
rifle but he couldn't make it work
satisfa ctorily. Then he was appren-
ticed to a sea captain and from the
sailors he learned to carve out little
objects in wood.
One day in the Indian ocean,
while idly watching the steerSman
at the wheel, he noticed that re-
gardIess of which way the wheel
was spun, each spoke always came
directly in line with a clutch that
could be set to hold it. AS he
watched he found himself visioning
holes in the rim of the Wheel-holes
which successfully came into align
ment with stationary opening. In
a flash he saw the answer to his
problem of a repeating gun. Then
with "a jacknife that cost less than
a dollar he started to whittle out the
foundation of a fortune which was
to run into millions" From that
model came the revolver which first
proved its value in the war with the
Seminole Indians, won an even
greater reputation in the Mexican
war and by the time the Civil war
had begun was an Indispensable
part of a soldiers armament.
Not only was Sam Colt the inven-
tor Of a weapon which vitality af-
fected military history, but he was
the first Of the great American in
dustrialists. Colt, not the modern
motor car manufa cturer, conceived
and first utilized in his plant stand
ardized machine production, di-
vision of labor and the assembly
line He showed the way to the
modern promoters of war he
was the precursor of the modern
munitions kings-a pioneer in the
art of playing one nation against an
other to increase his sales"
