/ very good indeed.
Immediately she put her pride
aside and pursued the subject.
Bill isn't like your young actors
or painters. You won't find him
dropping in for a cup of tea and
acting grateful for being taken up
by the countess"
Gertrude's dark eyes flashed
with anger. Really, Fabienne, you
are most difficult! What is it that
you want? I suggest a suitable
marriage for you! I offer to help
your new friends. And what do I
get for it? Rudeness! It's simply
impossible for us to get along"
Fabienne studied her mother
thoughtfully. At last she said,
you're right, mother, 1 am rude.
I'm the one who is wrong. We just
happen to be two very unlike peo-
pie. We won't approve Of what the
other stands for. You'd really be
happier if I weren't living with
you, wouldn't you?"
Her mother got up, arranging
her draperies, fixing her hair,
frownihg over white one that
showed at the temple. Yes" she
said, IT would. I think You would
be happier livingE apart. If you
want an apartment I thfnkN could

Thanks, Fabienne answered.l"I
can manage all right. I'll leave This
afternoon. I'll go back toaEllen's.
She doesn't find me so difficult"
Gertrude shrugged her chiffon
clad shoulders. "Whatever you like,
my dear, but do bring the doctor
to dinner I have some friends who
could help him, think" She went
out, leaving perfumed wake be
hind her.
Fabienne appeared at Ellen's
apartment little before quarter

"Of course, I'm delighted!" FL
len said.
Why had Ellen looked at her so
strangely, colored SO quickly and
said she was delighted when some
thing warned Fabienne that she
was NOT delighted?

THEY WENT to a night club
To the Flamingo which was the

next to Bill, and Fabienne, VINO

Fabienne said, 'T think I'll go If
no one minds. I'm still little weak
from the flu"
Both Bill and Nicky got up.
"YOu can use my car darling"
her mother said. And send it back.
I've telephoned for some people to
join us here or I'd go with you"
Don't bother, mother" Fabienne
told her, with sarcastic, knowing
glance. "It really isn't necessary for
anyone to come with me. Stay here
and have good time"
Ellen had got up, then. Il think
I'll leave, TOO, Fabienne. I'm a
working girl, you know. Is there
room for me ?"
well, if you must" Gertrude's
voice trailed off. She'd seen some
one she knew across the room and
was waving gaily, her child's de-
parture forgotten.
"We'n take you and Bill home
first" Fabienne said, giving the
chauffeur directions to go to the
apartment on Twelfth street.
Mind if I ride back to the house
with you two?" Bill asked. getting
back into the car after saying

told you she was"
You gave me slightly different

"You have to know Ellen to know
what a swell person she is" Bill
said.
Fabienne was pretty fond of
Ellen, but she was in no mood to
listen to the peans of praise that
went from Nicky to Bill and back
again like a soft ball.

came into her bedroom, her negli-

In hand, and settled herself in the
pillows of Fabienne's chaise lounge.
The signs indicated a long talk.
Fabienne sighed and sat up.

~ the Associated Press.
GALVESTON, Oct. 7.-Doubt that
Russia could supply Germany's vital
wartime Oil needs was expressed
today by v. r. Garfias, head OF the
foreign oil department Of the Cities
Service Co.
1taly's entrance into the war on
Germany's side, he said, apparently
would complicate the axis powers
fuel shortage for mechanical fight
Ing machines.
He expressed the belief that, with
an effective sea blockade by the
allies to cut of the oil flow from
North and South America, 1T is far
more advantageous to Germany to
have Italy as a neutral than an
active ally"
Garflas presented the results of
a study of wartime oil supply made
in collaboration with his assistant,
J. w. Ristori, at a meeting of the
American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers here.
Points Raised in Conclusions.
Among the points raised in their
conclusions were:
Cd The oil blockade is lone of
the most effective weapons of Great
Britain and France"
(2) Russia has no oil surplus for
export sufficient to be of much
assistance" to Germany and trans
portation difficulties appear insur-
mountable" if supply were avail
able.
80 Rumanian oil fields, even un-
der complete German control, could
not furnish enough petroleum for
Germany's wartime needs in 1940."
"a Italy's entrance into the war
as German ally would increase the
oil problem.
To avoid an oil shortage, the study
suggested, Germany might make an
early peace or seek control of Medi-
terranean shipping lines and the
1raq petroleum fields, held by Eng
land and France.
Russia Bars Rich Field.
Russian occupation of the Polish
Rumanian frontier, the study point
ed out, eliminated German possess
sion of Rumania's fields, which Ger
many held in the World War.
Should Russia directly or indi-
rectly deprive Germany of this oil
during the war" Garfias said, "the
results would be catastrophe.
LAS shown in this study Rumanian
oil is absolutely vital to Germany,
even if it does not supply all her
wartime needs"
Germanys 1910 oil consumption,
including related fuels. was esti-
mated at 90,0OO,OOO barrels, compared
with estimated output of $4,000, 900.
1taly's estimated 1910 output was
put at 100000 barrels, against a
wartime demand of 10000 900 barrels
Germanys 1889 oil imports were
shown to have come largely from
Venezuela and the United States.
which also were the chief source
OF 1taly's purchases.

Projects are already in operation
at Greenwood, Meridian and Laurel.
Other cities requesting projects are

mitted with the others.

that there will be subsequent pro
