CHAPTER Iv-Continued

How can I drum up votes for the
Governor" continued Len, eff I'm
going to be upset over the Opposition
all summer? Do you want to nip the
budding career of a rising young
genius?"
''I'd love to. II you consider your
self budding genius, which most
people don't. Thanks, Len. I'll call
him first thing in the morning."
you'll call him? Haven't
you called him! Haven't you cinched
it? Thanks for that, my dar-
ling old dragonI" he said, a ray of
light breaking over his face. I'll
land him first. I know every sofa
he sits on Tough luck, old
dear; the Governors hiring an es-
cort for the brats If he has to add
an extra per cent to pay for him.
Good-by, dear beautiful angel" he
said to Adele. For your sake, I
tear myself away to corral that
menace"
The girls sat quite motionless un-
til he had dashed from the room.
Aunt Olympia contentedly lighted a
cigarette.
"Are-you going to let him get
away with it," gasped Adele.
my DEAR" said Aunt Olympia,
''in politics you never allow grass
to grow where the Opposition is 60
ing to plant his foot. / tried to get
Cecil this morning but he is up in
New York writing up that model
murder case for the tabloids. If
Len Hardesty knows every sofa in
Manhattan, he's had entirely too
much experience to associate with
you-my dears."

CHAPTER vi

Early in May, Aunt Olympia de-
cided it was time for the assist
ant director of publicity, Cecil Dodd,
to begin sending stories to the home
papers. Olympia, who was an indie
fatigable maker of notes, had list
of points" ready to start the cam
paign on her own and the girls be-
half; the Senator, except for Incl
dental remarks in passing, was to
be left to Dave Cooper. So she sent
for Cecil and, at their laughing in
sistence on its educational value,
permitted the girls to listen in.
Nov, you see, Cece," began
Olympia, with great gusto, politics
is an elaborate and intricate sys-
tenn of build-up. That's all. Just
build-up."
Cecil took his limp leather loose
leaf notebook from his mono
grammed thirty-dollar brief case
and, with U. S. Senate pencil the
Senator had given him made note
of ''build-up."
"a lot of it has to be done in ad-
vance because it must be gradual.
An untimely climax gums up the
works. 1t has to be a gradual as
cent to the wind-up. Dave, as you
know, is already at work building
up the Senator's record and so forth
but we women of the Senator's
household must have our domestic
build-up. The woman-vote, you
know. Though lot of males fall
pretty hard for that domestic an
gle, too"
Cecil, raptly attentive, made a
note of domestic angle"
Nov, in the first place, you must
announce that certain salient facts
were cleaned from Mrs. Slopshire in
an interview This is an inter-
view I'm going to answer the
questions you would ask me if you
had enough experience. Now, in an
swer to what should be your first
question, reply, with deep feeling,
no, we have not as yet given a mo-
ment's thought to the coming cam
paign. That is left to the future.
We-the Senator and / are so hap
py in having these dear children
with US, our home life is so full, SO
serene-Never say exciting Cece,
for your life! Say satisfying Our
home life is so serene, so satisfy
ing-you might say serenely salts
flying, if you like-that SO far we
have been entirely wrapped up in
quiet family interests"

"Oh, very much"
"Of course you get the right slant
on it." he conceded. SIT helps a
good deal to be on the inside looking

"Oh, but that's my trouble! I'm

"You can't be far outside in the
home of Senator Slopshire. He
knows his America. I have often
wondered about your senators. Do
they act at home as they do on the
floor?"
"Um, something the same. Uncle
Lancy wipes his glasses; and
bushes through his thinning hair
when he is fiattered."
But what does he talk about?

he complain about the eggs being

that sort of thing"

ing. Doesn't he expound it all to
you, too?"
"Oh, no. l don't listen. Limpy

thing. We just pick out the best
nuts and think of other things"
Simply profound of you, should
say. More important things! Like,
where's your yellow basket?"
'Oh, nothing half as profound as
that. If we lost our yellow basket,
Uncle Lancy would demand a con-
gressional investigation and get it
back for u.s."
Gabriel d'Allotti went away pres
emily. He had not seen Helen be-
fore. Naturally, seeing Adele, one
looked no further. He did not make
the mistake of asking Adele to point
out her sister. He was not so clumsy
as that. He asked someone else, a
stranger, where she was-Senator
Slopshire's niece. The stranger, be-
ing a man, pointed to Adele.

candor. She tells me that you and

CHAPTER v

On the next morning at eleven
o'clock, Aunt Olympia received Ce-
Gil Dodd in the sitting room. She
received him alone, having with diff
ficulty hardened her heart to the
girls opportunities, for they, eager
curiosity doubly whetted by the unit
ed opposition of Uncle Lancy and
Len Hardesty and by Aunt Olym-
pia's defense, were eager for a
glimpse of him. Aunt Olympia, for
the only time, withstood their pleas.
Even Limpy's Jaw, Aunt Olympia"
did not move her.

any good or not and I'm careful
about my recommendations. But
maybe l could give you job-a
very small job, of course. But it
would be a starter"
Cecil Dodd was so surprised he
couldn't say word. Refuse a rec

money" he murmured, devoutly.

You see, Cece, this isn't like
the usual campaign. We've got our
young nieces with us and we're 60
ing to take them along. Those girls
are going to be our best asset in
this campaign and we want some
one-not quite so hard-boiled as
Dave-to do full justice to their vote

around constantly, we'd like some
one of agreeable disposition and
some social experimental be sort

you'll do all right. You'll take Or

Cecil Dodd was boyishly delight
ed. When the first moment of rev.
erent and worshipful awe had
passed he found voice again.
MRS. Slopshire," he said earnest
ly, "In work like dog; I'll work
day and night"
Having come to this amicable
agreement, Aunt Olympia asked
him to stay and meet the girls. He
accepted the invitation gratefully
but Aunt Olympia could see that his
mind was less on them than on the
great opportunity which bounte-
Gus Heaven had so surprisingly be-
slowed upon him. He responded
sourteously to the introductions but
seemed not even to notice Adele's
syes.

"Oh, yes, I know him all right.

up any foreign names Gabriel
d'Allotti Yes, I know him."
HE is very interesting" Helen
wrote to Brick Lands a couple of
weeks later. "And isn't it strange
that he hasn't fallen in love with
Adele? Well, he certainly has en-
livened my study of the American
system. He disagrees with me on
nearly everything. He has the for
eign idea of maintaining peace
that is, by bigger and better arma-
ments. You'd almost think he was
going to take out naturalization pa
pers, he gets SO wrought-up over
Americas lack of preparedness.
ITO tell the truth he knows a lot
more than do about the American
system, though he doesn't approve
of most of it. He comes to the
house quite often and once he went
with me to one of Uncle Lancy's
committees and we did agree on
one thing: that it is mighty hard
for a dozen men sitting around a
table to agree on a policy to save
the nation; especially when the plan
goes from them to the Senate, then
to the House, back to the Senate,
and back to conference again; and
when they do finally agree on some
thing, there's still the White House
to reckon with.
"You needn't worry, darling. He
hasn't the suggestion of a crush on
me. You can't fool women about
that. Sometimes we think they have
when they haven't, but we never
think they haven't when they have.
We're not that dumb. But we are
both interested in the same things
and it really is more exciting to
argue with him than with Uncle
Lancy. Uncle Lancy's always afraid
of hurting my feelings, and Mr..
d'Allotti isn't. But he isn't my type.

roughed up.
"Oh, Brick, the session is nearly
over and nothing has happened!
Wouldn't you think one really big
thing-an important thing-might
happen while I am here, so I could
get glimpse beneath the surface?"

cred the impression that the musicians
through their union have requested an
increase Of $40 in their base pay, thereby
raising their minimum to $50. State
ments by the management give the i'm
preston that the union is unwilling to
compromise on this issue, but orchestra
members assure me that they are willing
to entertain any reasonable compromise,
The management, however, has refused
to meet them on the issue.
Sufficient savings might be effected
within the organization that could make
possible the comparatively small increase
requested by the musicians, who, after
all, are the ones who make an orchestra
possible. The broad financial statements
issued by the symphony management
have not in the past laid any factual
basis for their contention that they can
not afford this increase without raising
the level of the campaign fund. If some
detailed accounting Of expenditures could
be made public showing beyond shadow
OF doubt that the symphony cannot
afford to raise salaries under its present
income, am certain that the musicians,
as public-spirited a body as exists in
this community, would accept the fact
without q murmur. But until this is SUBJ
stantiated by the actual figures, csr-
tainly they have basis for suspicion that
the management is not extending them
the cooperation to be expected in such
. public enterprise. j. PERRY.
