"Of course I mean it, Peter"
Peter looked into her blue eyes.
He saw something like horror in
their depths. He thought: "She
does mean it. And If it had been
Isabel in her place. :" For one
second he closed his eyes and the
muscle along his jaw worked.
Then: "Your mother and I haven't
mentioned this to you before,
Gloria. We didn't want you both

That's why I refused to let the
Drake attorneys talk with you. I
thought that later you'd know bet

But Gloria didn't wait until
later. The next day she called
on Herman Briggs, the brakes
attorney, at his office. She sat
before the big mahogany desk and
looked steadily into the shrewd
black eyes of the wiry man who
sat there. IT want to renounce

REJECTS FORTUNE
Herman Briggs Joined the tips
of his fingers into point in front
of him. He said, and his voice
was powerful for so small man:
II wouldn't believe it, Mrs. Drake,

ears" q,
Gloria's blood chilled a little.
It was the first time anyone had
called her Mrs. Drake. She sat
there then, trembling a little, some
Of her repose gone. She heard
Herman Briggs ring for his secres
tary, heard him debating rapidly,
in swift, clipped words. She heard
the door close softly behind the
girl and there was moment when
she sat there in silence, waiting.
When the girl came back, Briggs
handed her the long sheet OF
paper. He said: Nov you'd bet

When you sign this release, you

estate. It goes, Of course, to his
sister, Baroness Won DreyfusS. You

PARIS. Aug. l3.-What would you
want above all else if you were sud-

the chances are. says Estelle Hazen-
berg, that You would first ask for a
cup Of American coffee. And Mrs.
Hazen!berg ought to know, for she
presides over the information desk of

answering questions there at the rate
OF 300 day for 19 years
Though questions asked her range
from baggage to foie gras, passports to
ice cream sodas. perfumes to Folies
Bereere, Mrs. Hazenberg says that
question No. of Mr. and Mrs. Ameri-
can Tourist is: Where can we get
a good cup of American Coffee" After
the coffee question is settled. they will
ask for American restaurants, tea
rooms. dentists, movies and churches.
