Orchestra Leader Jack Mar

his vocal prospect. He said:
IF she had only her name, no
beauty, no personality and no
distinctive charm, she would
merely be one more name out
of the social register. AS I see
it, Miss Clark is going places in
her career. She photographs
beautifully and it may be Hol-

Sally was not thinking Of Hol.

ForgetS Way to Them

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July

made ready to begin a search to-
day when dawn failed to reveal
two youths, one helplessly injured,
who spent the night in the ex-
treme cold of the 10,O00-foot sum-
init of rugged Mount Olympus, IL
miles southeast of here.

search at dawn after an all-night
hunt failed to locate the youths,
who were believed to be on a small
ledge about $50 feet from the sum-
init.

HISS TO SOCIETY
WINS GIRL HER
MASTER DECREE
Sociological S t u d y
Made at University

CHICAGO. July is G.N.SJ.
Society, with a capital "S." was
given a gentle hiss. with long SIS.
here today.
1t was picked apart in a sociolog-
ical study by Miss Elaine Odgen,
Of Waterbury, Conn, who said the
typical society girl was inclined to
be an egoist and a man-chaser.
Miss Odgen's conclusions, &C.
cording to formal announcement
by the University of Chicago, were
good enough to earn her a mas
ter's degree.
HITS JUNIOR LEAGUE
The Connecticut student, who
revealed she discovered one school
which barred entrance If q girl
wore braces on her teeth, didn't
blame the society girl as much as
she did the processes of society
and backward" finishing schools,
Further, Miss Odgen charged,
the Junior League, while it's cul.
tural programs are worthy, does
its welfare work las much out Of
the class sense of noblesse oblige
as out Of the genuine privilege of
the underprivileged."
CRITICIZES SCHOOLS
Processes which capitalize
the 'S' in society are such that
society women have been made
incapable of recognizing eco
nomic and social problems"
Miss Odgen stated.
Miss Odgen said the typical
society girl was "a person who
participates to the fullest extent
in three institutions: the finishing
school. the debut and the Junior
League"
THE backwardness of the
select finishing schools" she
continued, "tends to make the
society girl Cd over-emphasize
popularity with men; ca over
emphasize her own Importance;
Cd develop class consciousness,
and "a social accomplish
ments.'"
POOR BETTER EDUCATED"
Chances are" Miss Odgen
commented, that a better
education is available to
Society's poor relations"
Miss Odgen found "the implicit
purpose" of the debut was for
making a good marriage" She
also discovered in a survey of
finishing schools "a school where
all electrical appliances, girls with
braces on their teeth, newspapers
and magazines are forbidden"
and "a school which places special
stress on riding to the hounds

Fight For Fortune:
SIDLEY WILL
BATTLE LOOMS
AGAINST BULL
HOrlick Heiress
Leaves Him Third

RACINE Wis, July Is U.N.S0
Raising the prospect of sensa-
tional will fight, Mrs. Maybelle
Horlick Sidley. American heiress
who died in the Toronto home of
w. Perkins Bull, July 6, bequeathed
one-third of her $4,000, 600 fortune
to Bull, an international figure Of
mystery, it was learned today.
Her will, disposing of her share
Of the Horlick matted milk
millions, was read to members of
the Horlick family yesterday after
noon, and was to be filed for pro-
bate late today.
SON GETS A THIRD
Mrs. Sidley, it was understood,
also left a third of the estate to
her son, William Sidley, and a
third to charity. Bull and Sidley
also were willed outright gifts OF
$250,000 each and w. Perkins Bull,
jr., was given 100000 in trust.
simultaneously, the will of Mrs.
William Horlick, ST., widow Of the
late founder of the Horlick for
tune, who died four days after
her daughter, Mrs. Sidley, was
read. Half of Mrs. Horlick's for
tune, it was reported, was left to
the daughter, but since Mrs. Sid
ley died first, a second legal battle
over the disposition of the mothers
estate may enSue.
BURIED TOGETHER
Both Mrs. Horlick and Mrs. Sid
ley were buried Monday in fam
lily burial plot in the corner Of
the ornate Horlick estate here.
Shock over Mrs. Sidley'S death was
believed to have haStened the
death of the mother, which occur
red on her eighty-eighth birthday.
Although members of the Sidley
and Horlick family refused to COM
ment, it was believed the will of
Mrs. Sidley would be contested in
the courts.
Il have nothing to say in the
matter" said William Sidley.
See my attorneys"
Prospects of court contest over
Mrs. Sidley's will were enhanced
by the reported estrangement be-
tween Bull and members of the
Sidley family.
j, When Mrs. Sidney died, attor-
neys for the son asked Toronto po-
1ce to investigate. The probe was
believed requested in an attempt
to learn whether Bull exercised
any undue influence.

1t was five days before her we'd

"a very short letter:
I'm just back from the West, De-

That letter came on Friday morn

All day she thought she did not
know whether she meant to meet him
or not. But wild excitement famed
in her; and hr eyes and cheeks were
brilliant, so that even her unobserv-

well and happy you look, Denise!"
At half-past three she dressed. Too

carefully, she told herself, too elabor-
ately. But if this was the last time
she was to see him, she wanted him
to remember her as pretty!
She repeated to herself. "The last
time!' and suddenly she did not be-
lieve it at all, suddenly the whole
month was unreal, and the only clear
reality was that she would see Keith,
and all their misunderstanding
would vanish forthwith.
She inspected herself very careful
ly, and knew she had never looked
better in her life! In street-length
silvr metal dress, velvet hat and
with complete unscrupulousness) the
silver metal dress a velvet hat and
recent gift. The strangest mood was
upon her, a feeling that Gilbert and
everyone else were against her, but
she would get her own way in spite
of them all! She ran downstairs and
took a cab with feeling that she had
no time to waste.
But, strive as she might, she could
not make that defiant mood last. 1t
departed before she had completed
the long journey across town, and
with its departure she felt somehow
guilty, as if she were doing something
furtive and little disgraceful.
When she saw Keith's face, though,
hesitancy left her. Why, she had to
see him, to say good-by at least.
"How much time have you, De-
Mise ?"
"About an hour"
"Do you want tea or would you
rather drive around the park. have
my car here"
"I'd much rather drive" She walk
ed around the corner beside him.
There was his black roadster in which
he and she had been on so many short
drives that seemed in retrospect in

variably gay.
His shoulder touched hers, acci-
dentally, crossing Central Park South.
She moved away from that contact,
and he said stiffly: Sorry"
They made one circuit of the park
in complete silence then. She stole a
glance at his profile. Why, he looked
older! That was probably not remark
able; she felt so much older herself
in those five weeks.
They turned northward again.
When a traffic-light stopped them,
he turned and smiled at her. How
charming his smile was! She had
forgotten just little.
Rather inane, this, Denise, isn't
it? The trouble is, know quite we'll

"No hurry. It's nice, driving a.

"Probably my husband will object"

was cheerful. She could tell he was so

little while.

APPENDICITIS DRIVE
URGED AT MEETING
DR.. Warren Sager Asks Educa-
tional Campaign to Cut Nor
tality Figure Here.

Reduction Of the number of deaths
caused by appendicitis through an
educational campaign was urged last
night by DR.. W. Warren Sager at q
meeting Of the Mount Pleasant Citi-
zens' Association.
The mortality figure here could be
reduced nearly 100 persons q year If
people were educated to the facts,
DR.. Sager said. He warned against
use of purgatives without medical
advice and pointed out that the
death rate is only nine-tenths of
per cent where the victim has been
operated on prior to q rupture of
the appendix. Twenty per cent Of
the post-rupture operations end in
death, DR.. Sager told the citizens.
Opposition to any proposal to place
school property under the jurisdiction
of the District Commissioners or any
organization other than the Board Of
Education was expressed in a resolu-
ton adopted unanimously by the
association. Study Of plan to place
all Fairgrounds under jurisdiction of
the school board was advocated by
the members.
