Rose wanted 10 go TO dinner.
She would stop in the lobby and
call the girl down for IL.
But not before the manager saw
and called her for entering his

watched his strategy.
His guests were thoroughly dis
satisfied with her using the chairs
and the huge floor space.

covered by a more conservative
bathrobe, appealed to her.
His wife-she had suffered a
nervous collapse, would Rose come
and try to quiet her.
! She did so, rubbing her arms
gently the length of a nervous
cord, as she had been taught TO
do scientifically. and thus re-
stored the woman 10 calm.
Not many nights later Rose
again answered a violent knock

This time the woman appealed
10 her to come and try TO restore
her husband.
NOW A PARTING
Days passed before there was
another summons, and this time
the visitor was the husband-So
called.
He promptly explained that the
woman was not his wife. and he
had been very rich but she had de-
pleted his fortune.
Now he was sending her away,
was getting rid of her forever.
Standing in the doorway and not
even inside the room, he made an
appeal to Rose.
Would she not leave this broil
and hodgepodge which was North
America and come with him TO
that wondrous Southern Hemis-
phere?
He had watched her in that ter
rible lobby. With her he could do
anything.
She would help him restore his
self-respect and his fortune, and
he would make her happy.
Very gently she told him she

LONG WAITING LIST


AS to the upper floors, one OF
these was made over into mex
pensive rooms. with bath on the
floor below. for which there was
a waiting list of year and a half
for occupancy.
One man on the staff stood in
the foyer without uniform, his
own costuming augmenting the
impression that he was drawn
from the ranks of truck driver
guards, and was objected TO as
lowering the tone of the house.
He was eliminated by clipping
with one of the rich residents. and
was later rescued by his wife,
after being apparently put on a
secure financial basis.
GOSSIP OF FOYER
Some OF the residents Of the
cheaper floor spent their waking
hours sitting in row against a
foyer wall, passing comment on
pasSers-by. such as:
"She wears her skirts too
short for her age"
Their more imperSonal, intel
lectual observations included:
'Well, I've spent my whole
day washin' and ironln'. We
certainly do need rain"
BY the simple devise OF renting
the rooms for some 81 less than
other like places. they kept il
packed all the time.
IT was said 10 be under German
ownership, yelled in identity under
some good American name. AS
were some 30 other hotels OF like
caliber.
Having heard that Americans
liked houses to be very warm they
kept this one all night long al
about 210 in the ice box getting
the heat from the city at low
cost. thus giving il the reputa
ton of having excellent service.
REFUGEES ARRIVE
Sometimes the lobby was en-
livened with dozens of refugees
still in their native costumes, this
substantiating the rumor of for
eign ownership by nation not or
friendly terms with ourselves.
Sometimes onlookers had Il
fight ennui with mere 100 sight

SOME SIT ALONE

SOME SIT ALONE
Some of the suites had such
charm as to furnishings and high
outlook. EN- braci ng earth and
heaven, that Americans of dis
tinction kept them.
They were not OF that group
who consider ii immensely smart
TO say I've lived next my neigh
bors for the last 20 years and
wouldn't know them if l saw
Them but enjoyed sitting in their
own apartments.
Unlike them Mrs. Wilbur Den
mis-. equally we'll to do, found the
lobby most amusing.
She chose a suite there for its
physical excellence, and for the
opportunity it afforded for OBJ
serving human nature.
She did not like TO be there
alone, however, and so got Rose
Watson almost every night 10 sit
with her and though those smarter
guests got 10 know Rose and
begged Mrs. Dennis to spare her
for visiting with them in their
suites, the girl insisted on remain
ing in the lobby.
RIGHT QUESTIONED
This caused such observations
from the SO a week group as:
What right has she got stay
Ing here using our chairs and
her not a guest OF the house ."
They resented her. There was
the drunken man who sat dowr
beside her one evening, and told
her she looked like Lady AStor.
( He tried to Jam a Cigaret into
her mouth, and when they et.
tempted 10 put him out he sale

Britain today is understood TO have
proposed a compromise plan for
the establishment OF a Pacific war
council.
The compromise calls for poll

while the military problems, such
as the ALLEGATION OF supplies. would
be handled in Washington.

Netherlands and China are under

council in Washington.
The view prevails in these quart
ers that any attempt 10 divide the
functions Of the proposed Pacific

Washington would tend TO compli-

Great Britain, however. Is taking
the position that there must be
