In other words, thought Mile to herself,
act like hussy! She frowned, not so much in
disapproval of the idea, as in perplexity.
Obviously, Jean knew what she was talking
about; the proof of the pudding and all that
but could she, Mile Lawrence, do any
thing about it?
She stared into the mirror. She wasn't bad
looking; sometimes, alone in her room, she

assured her, and still all that Millie could do
was to smile her gratitude and admiration of
this splendid creature in his blue uniform and
white gloves, and he Strengthened his shoul-
ders and continued smiling to himself, as she
went on.
Millie had never been drunk, but she was
sure that it must feel very much as she was
feeling this moment. Perhaps she had never
gulped down such big draughts of spring air,
before; she could feel the blood rushing through
her veins, and in mirror in a shopwindow,
she saw that her cheeks were very pink.
Vanity - vanity!' murmured young
man, passing, and she looked up, startled. and
smiled without even meaning to, and he took
off his hat and grinned, as they passed.
At the crossing, a truck driver called,
Hello, there!" as all truck drivers seem to
feel it their duty to call to all unescorted ladies
under ninety years.
Hello, yourself!'' retorted Mile, shame
lessly.
She knew how a SNOWFALL must feel, being
rolled downhill, growing bigger and bigger,
and she trembled with excitement and ex-
pectancy. She ought to stop smiling, because
everyone smiled back at her, and she was try
ing to force her face back into the face of Miss
Mildred Lawrence, private secretary when
she saw bright blue wagon filled with flower
pots and trailing green vines.

She shook her head - and her smile - at

what good did that do her?
She was twenty-five years
old and, to reduce it to its

new leaf. She dressed quickly and went down
in the elevator, to the breakfast room. For the
first time - and she had lived here for three
years - she was conscious of the depressingly
female atmosphere of The Etoile. Female
elevator operators, female mattresses in the
dining rooms ...
She smiled radiantly at the doorman, as she
went out into the bright sunshine. What a
heavenly day.! she said, and looked up at him
gratefully, as though she thought it very
sweet and clever for him to have arranged
such weather for her to enjoy.
The doorman was elderly and on the whole
embittered, but he returned Miles smile,
and even felt vaguely proud, himself of the
May morning to which he had opened the
door.
Millie lifted her head and drew long, deep
breath. A police horse, sleek and russell brown,
stood at the curb, and she smiled at him, and
patted his soft nose.
Didn't you know it was against the law to
flirt with horse who's on duty?' an Irish
voice demanded.
Millie felt happiness surge within her, and
as she raised her eyes until they met the blue
eyes of the officer, the happiness shone from
them, like bright light. She wanted terribly
to say something witty, something gay and
appropriate to the morning, but she couldn't
think of anything.
Sure, I'm not one to blame the horse, " he

She wasn't even a poor, pathetic

simply filled with men on those

up to her, by the dozens, and she,
Millie, like fool, would sit and talk
to Edward, because she was used to
him.
Well, she could get over being
used to Edward, now! Her small
jaw set determinedly. She wished
that Dora was having a party, to-
day -.
Good morning! It's seven-thirty,

bed and blinked.

TOMB, UNKNOWN
SOLDIER, MOST
SOLEMN PLACE
Behind the Scenes, How
ever, Guards Have
Their Troubles
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-One of
the most solmn spots in America
is the tomb of the Unknown Sol
der. Behind the scenes not all is
solemn.
Many a soldier marching patient
ly up and down before that historic
granite block has preserved his
monastic calm while his feet tor
tured him numerically and flies
and mosquitoes pestered him.
The job of keeping guard over
that tomb is a sacred job in the
army, but it is no Sunday School
picnic
Here is how it is done Nine men
and three on-commissioned Off
GERS, sergeant and two corporals
take over the job for 15-day tricks
In a quiet, cathedral atmosphere
they march hundreds of miles back
and forth in those is days.
One man at a time marches over
30-yard course. He marches two
hours and is off four hours. Thai
parading goes on from sunrise UNI
til Arlington cemetery closes at
night.
During his two hours as guard the
soldier may speak to no one. He
avoids meeting the eyes of anyone
He learns to look right through
people He never smiles.

LONDON, Nov. "a. - Scarcity of
domestic servants has reached such
grave proportions in the British

tackling the problem Of finding
household help for Mrs. John Bull.
Roly-poly, black-mustached Min
lister of Labor Ernest Brown is con-
sidering organization Of a league
of good household mistresses" to at
tract more girls into servants jobs.
One London newspaper even credits
him with a proposal of a marriage
dowry for servant girls-but he de-
mics that.
One reason why so few English
girls choose to be maids nowadays
lis the poor chance for marriage in
jobs where there is neither time
nor place to meet or entertain a boy
friend.
Not only that, but the eligible
young men of modern England re-
portedly look upon servant girls
as beneath them.
League Badges
The dowry idea is an old one.
The latest suggestion would have
government and employer contrib
ute a few cents a week toward a
$3.50 dowry which the servant, il
lshe wishes to marry, would be en-
titled to after seven years.
The league of good Household mis-
tresses would be a voluntary organi-
cation open to all employers OF
servants who would accept charter
of good conditions for maids. Each
member would get badge to dis

Now You Can Leave
Potted Plant at Home

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Nov. "a
There's new gadget, devised by
S. Herbert Smith, to water the pot
ted geranium while you're on vaca-
ton.
Operated by the heat of the sun
it will squirt ten ounces of water
into a flowerpot on sunny days
Smith says the plant wont need
water when there's no sun to dry it
out.
Smiths gadget consists of a metal
tank, length of rubber tubing, and
a tiny needle valve.
The heat of the sun, especially the
air in the top of the tank and forces
a couple of drops of water through
the tube to the plant.

factory girls have evenings, Sat-

Girls" he said, stand right be-

right over there watching you
Sometimes so is the officer of the
day If they catch a guy smiling
they burn him up
The watch is maintained on "a
hour basis, but after the crowds
leave We soldiers don't march back
and forth. They sit around near
the tomb and smoke.

be so hard on the feet.

films. For one thing, it rates with
the screens greatest historical spec

Director Clarence Brown, here

Polish Marie Walewska and the

it against a brilliant and almost
overwhelming background of the

that he has managed to keep the
love story shining clear before the
sweep and surge of armies and po-
litical intrigue.
Boyer's Napoleon is a mastery
performance, his best in any film
Aided by plastic makeup, he
achieves a remarkable resemblance
to the character, but his great ac-
complishment is in humanizing 8

sJoe Louis makes his first visit to New York as worlds heavyweight champion today. He's here to be- gin training for his championship tilt with Tommy Farr, the heavy weight champion of the British Empire, in the Yankee Stadium on August 26. But there are few de- tails for Joe to attend to before he pitches his camp at Dr. Biers at Pompton Lakes.

For Farr is coming sn from his Long Branch training quarters to make his bow to the ring solons too and also to file his request for @ license.
 Immediately after the meeting, Louis will take the trip to Pompton Lakes and will probably be ready for preliminary training action by Wed- nesday or Thursday. Farr will Tee turn to his New Jersey shore retreat and there on Wednesday resume boxing.
 That there is genuine interest in the championship bout was manifest yesterday when the ticket sale opened in the Hippodrome. There was @ steady stream of people anxious to secure tickets for the fray and with the mall requests. which have been piling in ever since the match was made, an advance that indicates a great crowd at the international battle.
 Queensbury Coming?
 They're coming from far-off too, for this bout and Finland will be well represented at the ringside. Mike Jacobs, promoter of the Twen- tieth Century Sporting club re- ceived a cable from the Marquis of Queensberry yesterday in which the marquis said:
 Many thanks for your kind in- vitation and l am endeavoring to so arrange my business engagements in order that I may be present at tho Farr-Louis bout. I feel that we have a worthy challenger in Farr and sincerely trust that your pro- motion meets with every success. "Queensberry".
 Jacobs also was in receipt of a cable from John Harding, the gen. eral manager of the National Sport ing club, which has arranged to present @ gold belt to the winner of the big fight in the Yankee Sta alum. He said:
 Admiral Sir Lionel Halsey, chair man of the N. S. 0. requests mo to confirm arrangements that he will present to you the N. s. o. gold championship belt, same to be hand- ed to the winner of the Louis-Farr bout. sail August 4 with belt and will present 1t formally to you on my arrival and either the Marquis of Queensberry or Sir Noel Curtis Bennett will present 1t officially.
