struck with him. The hero of
Broadway Souls" was a self
centered, lightbrained women's
pet and Maybe saw at a glance
that here was his character to the
life.
Broadway Souls" was one of
the hits of a decade. It was the
best of the seasons ten best.
People came to see it in droveS.
Cyril, mooest and little unSure
of himself at first, soon blossomed
out with the authority of a
matinee idol.
1t was at this time Cyril at

lived her life at top speed. Mar
ried, divorced and married again,
she was the present wife of Bill
Durant, Broadway millionaire
playboy, who played so hard that
he had little time for Greta.
GRETA'S TARGET
Not that Greta minded. She
played that way herself. She was
always on the make and when she
saw cyril, he looked like the
answer to a predatory woman's
prayer. blonde, beautiful, weak
mouthed and kind of dumb. She
went after him like a bullet.

Greta, giving him a going over
with her eyes, decided that her
first impression was right. She
calmly took possession of him and
by inference and such mental
suggestion as he was capable of
receiving, she convinced him, not
so much that she was in love
with him as that he was in love
with her. That, in itself, was a
miracle, because Cyril had never
even remotely suspected that he
could love anybody but Cyril.
He reacted typically. He began
to look askance at Sade, who was
thin and kind of careless with her
makeup and anxious-eyed and
wearing the wrong kind Of hair-do.
Greta went to Reno for her
divorce and Cyril went nearly
crazy. He telephoned her three
times a day He shut himself up
into a bedroom to sleep by him
self. He was Greta'S and the un-
arpreciative eyes Of Sade should
never again rest upon him init

PERFECT PUPPET
Sade reacted like any other
woman in love. She protested.
She cried and then she made the
mistake of telling Cyril all that
she had done for him. 1t took
her three weeks to complete it be-
cause it was long and true tale.
But it embittered Cyril toward
her forever.
You make me feel like a kept

it's all true doesn't make any diff

his blond head and then care
fully combed his long hair
with his pale, white fingers.
What he wished he could do
would be to touch up his lids with
a bit of mascara. But stupid
custom forbade the male to add

one could tell that he had given
his hair a slight blond rinse and
that Sade, his wife, had given it

NOT so EASY NOW
His complexion could be a little
clearer but a facial would take
care of that. He shut his mouth
and grinned at himself so as to
inspect his teeth. They were firm

wondered again if a small mus
tache, a wisp of a thing, mightn't

If it wasn't for his will power and

Ryan, the utilities magnate.
To tell the truth, he would have
gone back to it long ago, only for
Sade. She simply would not hear
of it. Her whole life was concen.
trated on making him a success
in the theater.

Charges from the floor, of its list

American Institute of Architects is
"moribund," resulted today in adop-
ton of series Of resolutions order
ing the Board Of Directors to consult
younger men of the institute and to
revise their procedure.
Following speeches by a number
of delegates, William E. Lescaze,
distinguished New York architect,
submitted resolutions asking the
board to plan next years convention
along different lines, considering the
possibility of forum type conven-
ton in which the intellectual and
technical" difficulties of the provi-
sion may be considered. He also
offered resolution that official re-
ports of committees of the institute
not oe read before the convention
when they have already been dis
tributed to delegates in printed form,
as well as his proposal that younger
men be given a vital part in the
institute.
All resolutions passed over q
minority opposition.

have met in conjunction with the

The Institutes journal, the Octagon.

Shipping representatives also
called on Vice President Garner.
One said Mr.. Garner told them that
freedom of the seas" for neutrals
in wartime was thing of the past
and that shipping interests should
be willing to make some sacrifices
to avoid involving this country in
the war.
One shipping official suggested an
amendment to establish Western
Hemisphere economic orbit" in
which American ships would be per-
mitted to continue normal peace
time trade with the colonial possess
sions of Britain and France.
Urges Teeth" in Law.
Assailing the flood of anti-embar-
go-repeal pressure on Congress as
stemming largely from ignorance or
from foreign propaganda sources,
Senator Pittman declared in his
speech last night that the pending
amendments put teeth" in the neu-
trality law rather than weaken it.
Senator Pittman declared the arms
embargo originally was enacted
chiefly to prevent the summarizing
of American ships. He added:
eve should have known then and
we certainly know now that bel
ligerent governments will consider 1t
just as important to prevent those
other materials not defined in the
embargo act from reaching their
enemy as the defined arms, ammuni-
tion and implements of war.
1T is the destruction of the vessel
with American citizens on board
rather than the destruction of the
property that arouses the war spirit
in the United States. So we do not
protect the lives of our citizens by
the embargo on few manufactured
materials so long as we permit other
contraband material to be trans
ported on American vessels to bel
lgerents."
Intends to Remove War Cause.
At another point Senator Pitman
asserted:
This country cannot remain neu-
tral so long as the Embargo Act re-
mains on our statute books
The Congress of the United
States has no intention of permit
ting our country to become involved
In that European war. The Con-
gress of the United States intends to
remove every cause that might i'm
pei it to declare war.
IF belligerent country imposes
upon us by conducting warfare in
our coastal waters. we will repel
such impositions. It's not necessary
that we go any further.
