BY MARY E. PLUMMER

NEW YORK, Feb. q CB -
Americas pretty girls are becom-
ing more serious-minded.
Even girls of great wealth, who
could rest, if they chose, on their
laurels of beauty, youth and in
herited means and await a happy
marriage, aren't content to be
merely pretty.
The girl who was born with a
silver spoon in her mouth has a
growing urge to develop some tai
ent, and the tendency is apparent
all over the country.
Some of the gransdaughters of
the builders of Americas great
fortunes in railroads, shipping, oil
mines and milling, are taking an
active part in community affairs.
Some are preparing for careers,
and could hold a job tomorrow.
Many girls in their early twenties
are backing the arts. Nearly all
OF the country's wealthy girls ex-
eel at some sport.
Exemplifying this urge to devel.
op ability in their own right are:
Lurline and Bernice Roth of San
Francisco, twin granddaughter of
the late Capt. William Matson, who
came to the West coast as a sailor
before the mast and founded a
shipping fortune; the beautiful
Cochrane sisters and Lydia Fuller
OF Boston's back bay; dark-haired
Caroline Wiess, of Houston, Tex.
daughter of a multi-millionaire oil
executive;
Elizabeth Cullen Mahaffey, of St.
Louis, an heiress to the William
Cullen Mcbride oil millions; 81
year-old Patricia Sick, of Seattle,
whose family's fortune is estimated
at 1000, 900; Edith Mullen Malo,
of Denver, whose grandfather, the
late j. D. Mullen, helped develop
the Colorado mining town of Cen
trail City;
Winsome Jeanne Braniff, daugh-
ter of a wealthy Oklahoma City
aviation executive, and Pauline
Palmer, of Chicago, granddaugh-
ter of the late Mrs. Potter Palmer,
social arbiter of her day.
The blue-eyed, vivacious Roth
sisters of San Francisco, who look
so much alike they usually wear
diamond pins with their names in
scribed on them, are excellent
horsewomen, as is their mother,
Mrs. w. P. Roth, the former Lur-
line Matson.
On the Eastern seaboard are
Lucy Cochrane, ''the most CLAM
orus girl of Boston's north Shore "a
and her tall blonde sister, Nancy
equally expert horsewomen and
gifted amateur actresses.
Another Boston heiress, Lydia
Fuller, of Beacon street, daughter
Of former Governor Alvan T. Full
Ter, whose family fortune runs into
millions, is a serious student of
languages, music and dramatic art.
She knows a great deal about
painting, is interested in pedigreed
dogs, and is an excellent tennis
player.
The bellies of Texas have inter-
ests equally varied. The Cullen
girls of Houston, Wilhelmina, IL,
and Margaret, 10, whose fathers
oil fortune is estimated at approx
mately $500, 600, 600, r expert at
several sports, and Margaret also
paints.
Beautiful Caroline Wiess chose
to study at progressive r h
college. Judy Jones, OF
Abilene, Tex, whose fathers share
of a fortune made in railroad pi-
oneering, land, cattle and oil was
between 81, 1000, 600 and 1000, 900,
was a member of last years Smith
college hockey team, is a skilled

good-looking you are - and being thrilled until
your ears we're pink because sailor told you you
were the class!
Out at the end of Venice Pier, under the biggest
of the roller coasters, there dark space Out there
the of the roller coaster mixes with the roar of
surf
You look at the dark Pacific, the long restless
combers that come rolling in out of the night all the
way from Asia. You the sea and smell salt water
You feel rough arm around you-it it presses
you against the chest of man l. You feel his lips
on yours.
Just as Nell felt the sailors lips, Big Jeeps flash
light went off with an awful flare, like having an
intruder break in on your innermost sanctum, to
disturb your dearest intimacy. Nell had stolen
moment of life, stolen it from Broadway and Holly
wood and fame and fortune - moment with
sailor, sweet as any moment ever snatched by any
other romance-hungry Saturday night visitor to
Venice Pier and here were these two men with their
camera.
"Jeep! said one of them with heavy irony. IL
din know nobody was here. Jeep, we shouldn't of
made no picture just as the lady was kissin -"
His remark ended in an astonished gulp as the
sailor right landed on his jaw
Hey, you!" interjected little Snake-eye bellig-
erently.
But Big Jeep had just recognized the sailor.
"Scram, Snake-eye!" he screamed. "SGam' There
was no chance to scram, because the pier was alive
with cops and plain-clothes men.
Nell didn't say anything until the cops had gone
and was all over She felt too sore and disappointed
inside to say much then sore as kid with blasted
illusions.
You knew who l was" she told the sailor
Knew it all the time!''
He shook his head. Il knew they were after you
- that's ALL
You kissed me just to get evidence" That
was the sorest point of all.
do you honestly believe that?"
you aren't even sailor. Nothing but COM
mon
I'm not a sailor? Listen ten days ago the Navy
bought my sixty-fve-foot boat for a subchaser
and let me enlist to work aboard it as deck hand
- and you say I'm not sailor! came ashore like
any other COB, and spotted couple of crooks try
ing to blackmai the most beautiful girl in the world
- the same crooks that hooked me for $3.50 last
month when l was still swinging polo mallet in
stead of swab- -"
Please" said Nell. You're straining my imagi-
nation''
The sailor began to grin. you mean you really
didn't recognize Charley van Poole? You mean that
kiss was for me2'
There was something about the way his arm went
around Nel's waist again something about the
smile with which she looked up at him.
Anyway you're nothing but sailor at heart"
she whispered in his ear

NNAKE-EYE pint-sized crook, drew breath sharp
y and nudged Big Jeep, his partner on the job.
Look" he exclaimed lids opening and
closing in excitement. ITS setup big sailor is
maxim play for her.
Big Jeep picked his teeth. Jeep was cynic, and
the scientific end of the job - he carrying the
camera. "Ahr, it prob'ly won't amount to not'n."
He looked again. Who is the gob?" he demanded
Seems to me | seen him somewhere"
Since when did you know gobs?" Snake-eye re-
torted Anyway, what do we care who he is? All
want is our shot"
1t was simple matter. You chose subject -
male or female. You followed the subject until you
had made photograph that the subject would be
glad to buy. A good photograph, you understand
of an embarrassing or indscreet moment.
Interesting work, because it meant a chance to
follow such interesting people. Last month"; for in
stance, it had been Charley van Poole, the polo
playing millionaire. Charley had finally left the
Garden Club with a certain young lady the un-
developed film of that photo had been worth $3.50.
Think of it!
This time the subject was Nell Tate, radio big
shot, and was Nell locker! Out here in Hollywood
for her first picture Reputation like Garbo's for
being strictly lone wolf That kind usually the
most profitable, because little ordinary old photo
that wouldn't embarass anybody else would stand
them on their ear.
In spite of Nels rep, here she was out at night,
all by herself And where did she go? Straight to the
bright lights! Venice Pier, can you imagine it!
The roller coasters the midway - and now she lets
COB pick her up! No foolng, it was setup.
"Oughta be worth a grand apiece" Snake-eye
whispered hoarsely. IF she don't pay then her
radio and movie people gotta!"
] HE funny part was that Nell Tate was excited
too. When you're very big shot, you don't often
get chance to do what you like. You may have
the impulse to go to some low-brow place like
bathing beach and mix with the populace and eat
hot dogs but big shots learn that life is only one
autograph book after another. When you go places
you get recognized, and then all bets are off.
Still, in Hollywood, Nell was $500 miles from
Times Square, and the famous pan wasn't so we'll
known
"Hi-ya, babew the sailor had said Didn't know
who she was.
Come on! Let's ride the roller coaster, babe!
This is my first liberty, an you're just what need
to make it big one!'
Ever 60 to public bathing beach and ride the
roller coaster with sailor? sailor fresh enough to
put his arm around you when the roller coaster car
goes through the tunnel? To try to kiss you with
possessive persuasiveness clapping big paw over
your little hand and looking at you with sailors
rowing eye?
Babe, you're easy on the peppers" he said
Imagine earning $57. 600 year and knowing how
