ever had a home, it'd be because

you'll see." Romany smiled
mysteriously.
She decided then to tell Cholly
what Brent Nelson had said about
Terry ORourke. How he'd been au'
ditioned at Interstate, but they'd
turned thumbs down on him COM
pletely because of his reputation.
L shouldn't be at all surprised
Romany added then, that the rea-
son you haven't gotten a break is
because they know you're engaged
to him. How do they know you
aren't unreliable? That you don't
drink too much, too"'
That was probably stretching
a point. But Romany didn't care.
Maybe you're right" Cholly
seemed impressed. II just don't
seem to get farther than the fourth
floor lobby"
Romany told her then all about
the events of the day. Cholly lost
her gloomy look and gradually got
hack her sense of humor. She was,
naturally, a person whom it was
almost impossible to get down.
Terry was the one problem that she
saw no hope Of solving.
Romany chartered as she I'M
dressed, one eye on Cholly, and was
glad to see that her friends fit Of
blues seemed to be subsiding. 1t
was hard to stay awake and keep
talking, but Romany buzzed on

breathing, Romany knew she was
asleep.
But long afterward Romany lay
thinking of Brent Nelson and what
he had told her OF his engagement
to Myra Noyes. She hoped she could
keep his friendship and his inter-
est alive without having his love
making get out of bounds.
She. thought, too, of Bax. and
turned over fretfully when she re-
called the fifty dollars Terry had
borrowed from him. OF course he'd
never get a penny of it back. Rom
any was worried over the money
he'd spent on dinner and the movie,
and determined she'd find some dlplo-
matte way to keep him from wasting
his much needed cash on her.
It didn't occur to her that she
was worrying for the first time over
whether a man could afford to take
her out.
The next day Cholly worked in
the forenoon, playing the piano at
Leo-Dane's. In the afternoon she
and Romany went swimming, al
though they were almost afraid to
leave the phone without someone to
answer it. Aunt Cissie had decided
it was pampering them too much to
leave one of the servants.
Outside the hall door, Romany
heard the phone ringing when they
returned. Her hands were all
thumbs as she fumbled with the
lock. Finally the key worked and
she got the door open. Brent Mel
son was calling to ask if she'd like
to go catching. Romany thought
quickly.
I'D love it," she said regretfully,
but I just couldn't go and leave
poor Cholly. She's been so low.
Could-would it be possible for you
to find someone for her"'
Sure" Brent offered generously.
"By all means bring Cholly."

0verton Favors New
Schools and Delay in
D. T.. Tax Revision
Senator Suggests
Congress Reconsider
SoIes-Income Levy

The recommendation of a group
Of municipal officials that "a old
school buildings be replaced won the
prompt Endorsement Of Chairman
Overton of the Senate Subcommit-
tee on District Appropriations, who
also urged over the week end that
any further revision Of the District
tax structure be postponed until the
next session.
Serving his first year as subcom-
mittee chairman, Senator Overton
took the lead in 1899 in calling at
tention to the need for an enlarged
school building program to get rid
of structures in use for 40 or so
years. He made modest start on
such a program in the current APP
propriations Act, and then asked
District officials to begin the survey
which was completed Saturday.
The Senator's views on the reve-
nue. situation were expressed in COM
menting on a recent House pro-
posal to repeal the local income tax
as unavoidable in the Capital.
Congress should not attempt to
repeal the income levy, without at
the same time working out sub
stitute levy" the Louisiana Senator
said. He added that, at the next
session it might be advisable for
Congress to revive the plan recon-
mended in the Pond report, calling
for q combination ales-income levy.
The Pond plan would have confined
the income levy to the higher salary
brackets, coupled with a sales tax
on all goods except certain necessi-
ties Of life.
Meanwhile, the Senator expressed
the belief the courts would 50 con-
strue the local income tax as to
avoid triple taxation Of persons nv-
ing in Washington but claiming Q
legal residence in the States.
Discussing the school building re-
port, Senator Overton said that,
while he has not received his copy
yet, newspaper accounts indicate
it follows the general thought he
had in mind. He said, however, he
does not believe further building re-
placements should be put OF until
1912.

Little Bo-Peep,
Zoos Newest Hippo,
Honor Guest al Party
Sleeps All the Time,
However; Mamma Swims
And Popu Is Elsewhere

Little Bo-Peep held her first re-
ception today and slept through
the entire proceedings.
The reception. which turned into
a picture fest for news photogra-
pliers, was in honor Of the Zoos
latest arrival, 9-pound pigmy
hippopotamus born a week ago yes
terday.
Headkeeper william Blackburn
acted as host in the absence Of
the mother, Hannah, who spent the
time swimming in the family's
palatial pool.
Father hippopotamus paced the
adjacent cage alone. He wasn't
invited.
Even when it came time for pic
lures, Bo-Peep slept. A Zoo at
tendant had to be called to rouse
the little fellow, who looks very
much like an overfed baby calf
done in ebony.
Bo-Peep is Hannah's fifth child
according to Mr.. Blackburn's rec
ords, and is the most promising
to date. The youngster has gained
q full pound in the last week.
Hannah, a native of Liberia, has
been a resident here for eight years
Their home Is now in the new
elephant house.
Not until Hannah made an ap-
pearance for her feeding did Bo-
Peep show any interest in the
affair. It was her feeding time, too
Headkeeper made no apologies
for Bo-Peeps lack of manners. All
babies, even hippos, are like that.
