Gayle smiled. She loved to watch
Bill take charge. He was never so

and he was plainly enthusiastic
about presentation of the new play.
Anyway, Gayle herself had a mass
of details to attend to concerning
the social part of the evening.
A garden party for 1000 people
presented no small managerial
task. First of all, Gayle had to plan
her own course. She sat until mid
night last evening with pencil and
paper, outlining her duties in de-
tail. She decided that the other six
girls should share the burden with
her, and in this Bill concurred.
Today, therefore, she took the six

with them every detail. The gar
deners would direct parking. Gayle

Tempe Hyde and the other three

the crowd from the first scene to
the swimming pool, and then after
Act II, to the tennis courts.

On a morning this week, there
fore, Cholly Harrington came out
with what he felt was a happy
scoop:
1.-The high hatters have ganged
up on handsome Bill Bailey, ct al,
at the Merrifield theater. News got
around that tickets for The Wit
to Woo would go on sale tomor-
row. It was big news-remember
how the tickets for Maid to Meas
ure' sold out in two days, and al
most none of the elite got in?
"Okay, but the elite this time has
determined to crash the Merrifield
gate or else! Your humble CORE
spondent listened in yesterday at
Ye Greene Goate club, The Gables
and the Montrose, not to mention
some eavesdropping at sundry
night hangouts. Part of the Junior
Guild and a lot of the just-marrleds
in the Mariners Group have sud-
denly organized to take joint action.
Telephones have tangled, personal
calls have doubled, tongues have
wagged. Wherefore, the high hats
will quickly get together and buy
up all tickets to The Wit to Woo,
or at least enough to make it a
strictly hoity-toity affair, tails and
decollete.
THE rich crowd wants to put
the squelch on Bill Bailey who, it
seems, wouldn't respond even in
college to advances of the glamor
gals. Bill was tops in football, tops
in college dramatics the money
maidens tried to idolize him, and
he would have none of them. They
don't forget.
But besides all that, they just
naturally want to get into The
Oaks. There are rumors concern
ing the grandson, Jeremy-maybe
he'll be a new thrill! And there is
a half-century legend back of the
old Mortified estate now, built on
fact and fancy. Literally everybody
is willing to sacrifice pride and buy
in. So when the tickets go on sale
tomorrow, watch for block buying
-by the towns crustiest upper
crust!"
Gayle read that in The Chronicle
Post at breakfast. She called i'm
mediately to Bill.
Great doings!" he breathed, APP

Maybe l am worrying unduly over

the same misgivings that | do. Wage
rates in the construction business are

so high, it was cheaper for people to

Residential building has been get

since 1882. Only in 1887 was there Il
let-down-due to the runaway in

so are construction costs, while rents
are making no progress in either di-

been due entirely TO mark-ups in
wages which have more than offset

a national rising demand for new
homes, sets the stage for Il great

quired two years ago would not be
up to date now"
Senator Bailey has now definitely
decided to vote for the Burke-W adS-
worth CONSUMPTION BILL according to
press. reports from Washington-in
fact, vote may even have been
taken by the time this is in print;
but at the time he wrote the RAJ
leigh Legion post he appeared still
to be Wavering in the balance
He outlined the situation Us he
sees it, and gave his views on the
CONSUMPTION matter thus:
Il fully agree with the tenor of
the resolution, that is, that high de-
gree of military training tends to pro-
tect soldiers and to make them more
efficient. The question whether we
should at once proceed TO compul-
sorry military training resolves
around the consideration of necessity.
We have available now in the re-
gular army and the National Guard
and reserves $4,000 men. These are
receiving special training required
by modern warfare as rapidly as cir
cumstances will allow. Unfortunately
we do not have the modern equip
ment for so many, but every effort
is being made to provide it.
whether 650000 men would prove
sufficient to defend this continent
against invasion is debatable ques-
ton and we must defer largely in
such matters to the military experts.
None of us can be sure of invasion,
but we cannot take chances under
the known circumstances. We must
be ready to repel any possible in
vasion. The estimates of the addi-
tional numbers required range all
the way from none to one million
young men, but the consensus of eX-
perts is that we would not need more
than 100000 additional trained men.
If we may obtain these within a
reasonable time by the volunteer
system, l should be inclined to favor
that system. If we cannot obtain
them by the volunteer system with
in d reasonable time, we must pro-
coed to compulsory measures, dis
