To be plain the present outlook
is not favorable to the passage
OF the Presidents measure, as
submitted. This develops from
several causes. First and fore
most is the changed attitude o.
the Court itself, which in the

through the altered opinions of
justices, reversed earlier deci-
sions. Whether the President

anything to do with persu2ding

The Presidents court reform
proposal, about which bitter
struggle has been waged since il
was announced in February, evil
deneed the Chief Executives pro-
test against legal interpretations
which did not, in his opinion, take
eognizance of new conditions or
of the peoples win. 1t was re-
sorted to as the only practical
method of accomplishing what
Mr.. Roosevelt demanded, a Court
that would be in harmony with
present-day detectives. While
constitutional, and within the
powers of Congress, the proposed
increase IN the number Of JUS
tees has ben attacked as a as
sault on an independent judiciary
and sssaiied as the wedge of die
tatOrsiaip. The battle for the court
reform bill is still on, with the
lines holding, but with the situa-
tion greatly altered.

The timeliness of Jnstioa Naa
Devsnter's letter to the Pnesident
giving notice of his intentIon =
retire from active service. has
been noted by many observers.
1t was delivered just before the
Senate committee voted an un-
favorable report on the court re-
form kill. Opponents hailed i a.
a master stroke in the battle.
Whether it was or not, it opened
the way fo- senatorial colleagues
CT Senator Joe Robinson to launch
a boom for his appointment to
the high tribunal. in which meHl-
bers of both parties joined. The
President, while declining "con-
firmation" of the Senate '.nomi-
nation," gave no Indication o.
when any appointment would be
made. This, according to the ex-
perts, is good strategy until the
Senate votes on the court bill OF
the matter is no longer a pressing
issue. Then the expectation Is
that the Arkansan. loyal to the
New Deal program ali the time
VIII get the place.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-05-31

In his nressaee~oaa avages and
hours the President significantly
pointed out that ''the overwhelm-
ing majority of our population
earns it's daily tread either in
agriculture or in industry; that
one-third of our population, the
overwhelmingly majority o. which
is in agriculture or industry, is
'siIl-noar-shed, ill-clad and i'll
housads.;; that the Congress and
the Executive are pledged to
take further steps TO reduce the
leg IN the pz<chas-ig power OF
industrial workers and to
strengthen and stabilize the mar
kets for the farmers products" ::
that the two undertakings go
''hand in hand" and work to open
new outlets for productive capital
and that legislation can be passed
at this session of the Congress
further to help those who toll in
factory and on the farm"

Briefly, the President proposes.

tain rudimentary standards, which
at the start fall short of the ideal,

its power to prohibit the admis-

The decision OF the Supreme
Court last week, unfolding the
eonstitutionality of the unem-
ployment insurance provisions o.
the Social Security Act. under
which moro than three-fourths o.
the States have set up unemploy-
ment insurance laws, definitely
.lines-sp TIE high Court on the
liberal side of interpreting the
laws of the land. The five to four
vote apparently indicates a per
manent liberal policy for the
Court, IS now constituted, and
added another to the string OF
ten favorable decisions which
have been given New Deal avs
since the present term of the
Court began.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1937-05-31

just exactly what this means
becomes clearer when we reflect
that before the present term of
the Court the New Dealers had
lost Il of Is cases. With persis-
tent conservatism the justices
overturned the efforts of the adj
ministration to widen the field o.
Federal activity. which the Presi-
dent maintained was necessary
under modern conditions, and
there d 7eloped much the feeling
that the Court was the last bal-
wark of freedom, or (as the indi-
vidual might prefer the last
barrier to progress. This state OF
affairs vas serious because of
the close division between the
justices and the plain clash o.
theories that were expounded in
conflicting opinions that did not
much conceal the deep feeling o.
the judges.

The strategy of the opponents
OF the court reform bin has been

BY proponents, fearly Of the
charge Of rushing the measure
through Congress under exeeu-
tive pressure. The adversarfes o.
the Presidents proposal were
hopeful that the Court. in its cur
rent session, might deliver opin-
ions which would, of themselves,
ease the frightened situation and
they also hoped that some OF the
Justices might avail themselves
of the opportunit- to retire I'M
der the terms of new legislation
which gaaranteed the justices ful.

hopes they have been justified.

At. the back Of the draperies
she heard high, excited voices,
chattering in a mixture Of French
and Russian. That was, she sup
posed, the workroom, and she
would have given her pet clip to
have had an immediate look at it.
The draperies parted abruptly
and the most petite blond Mary
had ever seen stood there smiling
at her. Mary's first impression
was of wide, very blue eyes, a
homely face made beautiful by q
warm smile, under a head of fluff
fly, unnaanageable blond hair.
"You are Marie Barr-ay?"
Mary said she was and found
her hand clasped firmly by the
countess.
She started to say that Mark
had sent her, that Mark had
Yes yes -. I know" the
countess interrupted. you have
experience, yes ?'
After that Mary found it easy
to talk. She could sew, cut, press,
make muslin patterns, sketch ;.
It was the sketches that inter-
rested Anetka most. She demanded
to see them, exclaimed delightedly
over them and won Marys heart
at once. She needed a designer,
she said, but she could not afford
to pay enough for such things as
Mary had.
She could afford only j.. what

whelmed as she felt.
twenty-five dollars was am
ple," she said, and with a flash Of
insight managed to make Anetka
understand that one day, if she
should prove herself valuable. they
might make other arrangements.
After that they shook hands
solemnly and had tea. It was only
few minutes before lunch but
tea was called for. And tea,
favored with triumph and high
anticipation, Mary found to be
nectar. She had a job and $25 a
week which was fortune the way
she was living!
After she had gone, Anetka
looked at her pad at the note
Mark had sent her.
It'll put up S25 week." he had
written.

such a charming intermingling Of
the French domestic and business
procedure. There was a little side
walk cart-the kind with which
Mary was familiar on the East
Side of New York-With it's wares
of china ornaments set out. And
there was Madame calmly peeling
potatoes and onions, stirring the
cooking meat that dubbed in a
copper kettle on a small charcoal
stove. The tempting aroma of her
stew carried to Mary's sensitive
nostrils, warning her that the hour
for lunch was approaching.
She smiled at the little scene,
to which no one else appeared to
pay any attention. and hurried on.
At first when she found the
number 81, she was afraid that
she had come to the wrong adj
dress. This shabby stone house
couldn't be the proper place!
A small card in the door. told
her that it was.
Climbing the narrow stairs, she
remembered that Kate had. told
her the night before: There are
hundreds Of small shops like your
countess. They come and go and
no one even wonders where. Re-
Numbering, she Strengthened her
shoulders and reminded herself
that there was no reason why this
one should. Mark knew about it
and Mark had said that the
countess had a small clientele.
That was all that Mary asked for.
Besides, Paris wasn't like New
York where you had to put on a
successful front.
I Why she'd been hearing about
the little shops of Paris ever since
she could remember!
Every step up along that mar
row, dingy stairway. Mary had a
fresh reinsurance for herself. And
every step she forced her hopes a
little higher. ~.
She even dared to hope that she
was needed.
Her hopes took another sicken-
ing dive when the door opened in
response to her knock and she was
admitted to What-she wasn't
quite sure at first-was the
showroom.
A small, rabbitish creature adj
mitted her, bowed in funny little
Gaelic curtsy and murmured that

Mary smiled, thanked her and
sat down gingerly on the edge of
a plush chair from which she had

CHAPTER 12

AT 10 MINUTES of z Mary
Barrett opened her eyes, strug-
gled with her desire to sleep long
er and reached her hand out for
Marks card which had lain the
night on the corner of her bed.
She hadn't dreamed it; the card
was there.
For a few minutes she debated
about the possibilities of a bath,
knew it to be futile and resigned
herself to the sponge and basin
affair that was the most difficult
thing about living in Paris. She
gave as much attention to her
additions as though she were go
ing on physical exhibition instead
of merely to meet the Countess
Anetka Illovitch.
Her wardrobe-scant but smart
came in for expert scrutiny. She
abandoned the tempting idea of
wearing her smart black crepe
with a double strand of pearls.
Black and pearls constituted the
uniform of the smart Parisienne
and Anetka would know she was
merely a copyist if she wore them.
She brushed her copper hair I'M
til it shone, curling each fat curl
around her finger in the fashion
of the moment. Then she selected
a navy blue sheer crepe with
smart pique collar and wide cuffs.
She buffed her blue kid shoes un-
til they, too, had shining quail
ity. Then she adjusted the small
toque made of the same fabric as
her frock. White gauntlet gloves
of doeskin and a small, neat purse
completed the ensemble. She
looked young, crisp, alert and con-
fident.
1t was scarcely 8 when she went
out. She couldn't call at the shop
so early in the morning, neither
could she wait until later hour
to fare forth on her adventure.
The early morning air was an
elixir. Paris in the early morning
is made up of diamonds and cham
payne and colors from a CELESTIAL
paintbrush.
Mary found a tiny restaurant
with its inevitable sidewalk tables,
ordered chocolate and brioche and
drank the early morning in. The
waiter brought her a Paris Herald
but she had no eyes for it. Things
were happening to her. What
happened to the rest of the world
was unreal
The world around her was walk
ing up quickly. The morning be-
gan to pass more rapidly. Mary
got up from her small table, paid
her bill and set out, reluctant not
to prolong her anticipation.
She had to cross from the Right
Bank to the st. German district.
She took the Metro. She had
never been in that part of Paris
and it was a still newer world to
her. 1t was still early in the
morning and she walked slowly.
peering at new sights, lingering
before the windows of the quaint
shops, pausing for conversation
with doll-like children in a public
square.
It was IL o'clock when she ap-
peared in the street where the
countess shop was located. Mary
felt her throat grow dry, con-
stricted. Her heart beat a faster
tempo with anticipation mingled
with apprehension. If the countess
didn't want her {
A street scene caught her eye,
made her forget her apprehension
for a moment. and made her smile
with enjoyment.
It was a scene of such anlonb
