She had worked .indefatigably
now for over a year. She had
made a. few. friends. Ellin had
married her Bill and Kate had
gone back to America. But it
wasn't until her old neighbor,. Paul
had. turned up in Paris with his
pockets filled with money and en-
thusiasrn the like of which Mary
had forgotten, that she took time
offtto play.
This time, it was she who intro
duced a newcomer to Paris. And
this time she found it great fun.
Paul wanted to see the famboyant.

| the underworld where they went
to the shabby wine shops, to the
basement cafes and the cabarets.
They spent 81 hilarious evening
on the way tosthe F0lieS Bergere.
And enjoyed the inextricable posi-
ton into which their taxi driver
unanswered their cab in the time
Ihonored fashion. There were
wheezes and blowing of horns andl
the gendarme's whistle and much
brandishings Of truncheons: then
they fought: their way through the
vendors INTO the building.
They went to marionette shows,
band concerts and dance halls.
And, at last, Paul said the place
he wanted most TO see was Marys
shop. The folks in. Brooklyn
would want to know about it. he
said. rs
And when Mary piloted him up,
the narrow stairs and into the now
crowded 'front.' room, showed him
her sketches, the books of orders
and the busy Workroom, he
scratched his head and cleared
his throat.
Look here" he said, IT think
you girls have got something
here! But you're in the wrong
spot. You ought to be on the
ground floor. I've got a little
money to invest, Mary. haven't
been doing so badly, and I'd be
glad to give you hand"
Paul! I. don't suppose I'd have
thought of it, if you hadn't pointed
it out to me right now. But that's
what we should do and we've got
plenty of capital to do it with.
Thanks very much for the offer,

were at a Partisan boulevard cafe
with Anetlfa and ,Sergei.
"Dubonnet Citron," Mary said,
and hastily touched the tip of
Paul Joslin's brogue with the
toe of her slipper. See there!
That agent. de police has the long
est mustaches in all France" She
spoke in a whisper while the
waiter lowered anxiously but po-
litely in the background waiting
for M. Joslin to order his aperitif.

dismissing him and giving his at
tention to , the imposing mus.

New York's finest done up in a

"Sergei, he does not understand

J0RD0N'SCOUNSEL
ASKS LEGISLATION
Request Cummings to Seek
Law on Admission of
New Evidence.

Attorneys for Thomas Jordon.
scheduled to die June IA for the Gar
den T-Shoppe murder Of Mrs. Lizzie
Jaynes, today asked Attorney General
Cummings to seek from Congress
legislation which would entitle the
condemned man and others Of similar
plight to consideration for a new trial
on the basis Of new evidence discovered
more than two months after passing
Of sentence.
Jordon recently was barred by the
Court of Appeals from obtaining a new
trial on grounds of newly discovered
defence evidence. The ruling appar-
emily was based on a Supreme Court
decision restricting to go days after
judgment the period in which new
evidence may be recognized as grounds
for new trial.
The Justice Department already is
studying closely new evidence In Jor-
don's favor. with view to determining

The new data include police Incl

assailants as being feet tall, whereas
Jordan is below eyerage in height.
In letter signed by Harry Whelan
and William B. O'Connell, attorneys
for Jordon. Cummings was urged tc
recommend without delay an amend
ment to the act of 1888. which au.
thorizes the Supreme Court to promul.
gate rules of practice in criminal
courts after verdict. Under the amend
ment the Supreme Court would be di.
rected to rule that in all capital cases
new evidence may be introduced a,
any time up to execution of sentence
for consideration in requests for re.
trial.
Similar provisions have been made
in State codes, the letter pointed out.
1T is not our desire solely to have
this amendment enacted for the pur.
pose of granting relief to Jordon." the
letter said. but it is our contention
| that Jordon's case illustrates the neces.
sity Of such law in order to preven,
a gross miscarriage of justice"

ment on the letter.

Representatives MOutOn

BY the Associated Press.
Representatives Wearin, Democrat,
of Iowa, and Mouton, Democrat, Of
Louisiana, tuned up today for a tonsil
tussle on the Capitol steps to decide
which is more fetching-the Iowa hog
call or the Louisiana bayou below.
The proposed contest grew out of
Wearin's depreciation OF the Southern
dawn-shout, and Mouton's stout de-
tense that it is "the great American
holler."
I'm not anywhere near the best
hog caller in Iowa." explained Wearin,
but I think I can manage a couple
of whoops that will get my point
across"
Mouton replied he isn't stand-out
dawn greeter either, but added that if
pressed, he's capable of great vocal
volume.

course, is all in fun-will be decided
later, but here are some of the pre-

Speaking at the luncheon of the
Round Table Club at the Cosmos Club
yesterday, Kirkland, who, as a lieu
tenant in the Naval Reserves, visited
Spain when the U. S. S. Quincy was
sent there to pick up refugees, re-
cited several humorous incidents con-
nected with the war. No one oc-
casion, he said, a Spanish battleship
fired at an unprotected and unmov-
ing gunboat on calm sea for three
hours before one shot accidentally
hit the mark. At another time three
planes made daily bombing raid on
an unprotected power plant. dropping
about 80 bombs each trip, without
a hit
Contrary to the popular opinion
that the English have no sense OF
humor, Kirkland told Of the British
naval officer who was assigning in
side and outside staterooms to refu-
gees according to their personal pref

face, the officer gave those wanting
