Several years ago public and private
Interests met to formulate a Joint
conservation program. The plan
evolved included the transfer of in
dustry from old methods of quick
liquidation to continuous forest pro-
duction. At this time representatives
of the public accepted certain obliga-
tions and pledged to accomplish the
enactment of much-needed laws to
make continuous forest ownership
possible and to furnish leadership in
forest management.
The meetings were devoted in large
part to planning the further phases
of the conservation program.

"Jamboree."
Gertrude Niesen, the former Follies singing
star, sounds the keynote of the "Jamboree
with this swingy savo of song:
Down with long-haired old symphonies
Give licks and hot harmonies'
The classical performance is a flop, but the
"Jamboree' that follows is slightly terrific!
George Murphy. leader of the hot lick band
strikes a few steaming notes of torrid music
and the night club patrons who almost

what they want-this is what they to

their greenbacks for.
The Negro chorus changes abruptly from
somber chants to syncopated swing-Gertrude

Oh-everybodys gotta spread the jam
IT'S JAMBOREE!
IT'S A JAMBOREE!

And the colored choir chimes in with this

Chimes in the French Ambassador:
"Eets a Jamboree"

Ben left on his annual fall hunting
trip the next day. He hadn't had a
vacation in 13 months. He was worn
out, his nerves on edge. He needed to
get away.
At Union Station he met Deke Pease,
his hunting companion. and they
boarded the train for Falstark. At
Falstark they shifted to the spur line,
and the next night they landed in the
backwoods town of Rivers End. The
lodge, much to their astonishment,
was nearly filled. There were dozen
society people there from New York.
There were newspaper men and pho
tographers. Ben was disguised.
This is as bad as Newport" he
said to Deke. Let's start into the
woods first thing in the morning."
Deke looked doubtful. Weather
forecast is bad. Big storm coming.
Some Of this gang were planning on
going, but gave up the idea"
"Good!" said Ben. It'll give us
chance to shake them"

THAT evening the society folks held
q celebration. There was q lot of
drinking and rough-housing. Photog-
raphers ran around taking pictures of
everyone Ben and Deke retired early,
but the noise kept them awake till
all hours. Nevertheless, they were up
by dawn. They breakfasted, then
started out on horseback with old
Jake Keith as guide. The skies were
leaden. Jake predicted snow.
The snow came just before they
reached Jake's cabin. 1t turned out to
be the worst storm of the century.
The next morning drifts were piled
eave-high about the cabin. It showed
for four days. There was nothing for
the cabin occupants to do but sit
around and wish it would stop. Thus,
with time on his hands, Ben found his
thoughts running riot. He thought of

What exactly does going away
with you imply?" Tony asked Guy.
Again he misunderstood her
meaning. Thought her mercenary.
Willing to sell herself, as she was
doing now.
Money. Freedom from the risk
Of being caught"
Caught?-she wondered. BY
whom?
IT shall pay all expenses. I'll
be good to you. You can have your
own drawing account. Get out
Of that awful club while there is
yet time! Break away from Niklas.
I'll be so much better to you"
So 1t was that!
He thought that Niklas and she
were sweethearts. And he wanted
to supersede Niklas?
"You are offering mean apart
ment? Somewhere that you can
come and see me, now and them"
He did not answer. He made a
move as though to kiss her.
She struck him across the face
with her open palm.
! Thought zephrine, watching
from the pantry: This will be a
grand story to tell Monsieur Niklas
It will please him. But she is fool

Tony was dressing for the Pas

LOST SAVIOR
But the thing had lost all SAVIOR

lihood of Guy being there, after
their quarrel!
Over and over she had turned
their Christmas evening together
in her mind. And the more she
thought Of it, the more unaccount-
able did many angles of their
conversation seem. Something
sinister lay behind his remarks.
Harriet Brewster, too, had made
, a complete about-face, so far as
Toni and the club were concerned.
Had she guessed that Guy and
her rival had quarreled? That
there was no further necessity for
playing watchdog to them at LIE
Chateau de la Marquise?
She had used Brock and a shady
dealing as the reason for telephon,
ing Toni at her home few days
after Christmas. Her remarks had
been far from pleasant!
You may be interested to hear
that the dealings of your friend
Mr.. Milbank, are now being inves.
tigated by the government. have
you to thank for that introduction

of my losing several thousand
dollars!"
Harriet had Cancelled her table

Niklas was disturbed.
ITO what end, Antoinette, do I
go to the expense of a Park Avenue
apartment for you when you quar-
rel with your new friends? Mr..
Halstead-Flagg has not been here
for a week! And now Miss Brew
ster cancels the largest table for

But when the night came, he
seemed in good spirits again.
VIEWS COSTUME
He came to her dressing room
The Washington times., 1937-08-31
TAKES A DRINK


Guy helped himself to a drink.
He had intended to denounce
her. She saw pulse throb in his
temple as he came back to the
divan. Her heart rose.
He loved her? Wanted her? She
knew now that she really loved
him, heart and soul.
How wonderful to belong to
himl
This is marvellous. Antoinette |!
Just you and l."
He had not meant to say that.
But the something" trembling in
the air between them drew it from
him against his better Judgment.
"You mean that, Guy?"
He said hoarsely: "Your eyes are
pools where q man could drown
himself for desire"
But not love?"
"What does love mean?"
"Giving!"
He misunderstood. He flung
both arms about her, drawing her
to him under the mistletoe, kissing
her passionately.
Please" she cried. You're
hurting me-"
why shouldn't hurt you?
Aren't you hurting me?"
"Let go. Let mech, please let
me go!"
He drew back.
CHILLING TONE
II must seem like a brute. I'm
sorry. You're so lovely"
The words, his tone, chilled her.
Her heart sank like a stone.
She got UP.
He rose, also.
She moved to the fireplace. The
logs no longer famed. To her
high-strong fancy, they were glow
ing and writhing like souls in pur-
gatory.
Leaning an arm on the mantel,
he again took her hand.
"Give UP all this. Leave that
swine Niklas and come away with
me, Antoinette. I'll be good to you,
dear"
She looked up at him with ap-
pealing eyes.
He thought: "She's looked at
lots Of others, poor devils, to their
undoing!" But now he didn't care
what she had done. He wanted
her. He must have her.
