aim ° w° w Business fusses By BEATRICE BURTON Author of “Gloria, The Flapper Wife”

The names in this story are purely fictitious and are not to be taken as referring to any particular person, place or firm. CHAPTER I. There comes one moment in the life of every woman when she looks at a man and knows she loves him. ' That moment came to Mary Rose Middleton one day last April when she walked into Mr. Manners’ office in N. Meridian St., with the afternoon mail. Just as she had crossed that room a thousand times before to lay his letters upon his desk. And just so he had glanced up at her, as he did now, to say “Thanks Miss Middleton" in an ordinary tone. Things had always been like that between them—ordinary and business like. But this time there Was a difference. In an instant everything was changed for Mary Rose. She stood looking down at John Manners, and it seemed to her that she never had seem him before —his dark head bent over his work, his hands resting upon the desk. His brown, flexible hands. Suddenly Mary Rose wanted to touch them. She wanted to lay he* cheek down upon that dark, bent head. For the first time in her twenty-two years there came to her the acting wish to be close-held in a man’s arms. She wanted to be iff Mr. Manners arms. “Panther tracks!" I’m in love with him!” she told herself. She felt herself trembling and a fever of shame ran over her body. What it’ he should happen to look up and see her standing there, shaking like a leaf! Filled with fear that he might do that very thing. Mary Rose turned on her neat heel and frcd. When the door had closed between them she gave a quick sigh of relief ... as if she had had a narrow escape from some threatening danger. “Silly!" she thought, out of patience with herself. In the outer office Miss Brown and Miss Minnick were busily typing under the green-shaded lights. Adolph, the office boy, whistled, I m Tired of Everything But You," as he sealed envelopes at the table in the corner. Everything just as usual. The big bright room exactly as it had been when Mary Rose had left it a moment ago But in those sixty seconds the whole face of the world had changed for her! She knew now why she loved her job as stenographer for the Dexter Automobile Company. She knew why the office was for her the most wonderful spot in the world. Because it was here that she saw John Manners every day. She knew that she was in love with him • . . and always would be. The Real Thing had come to her as it comes to every woman. Like magic. * • • She felt as if she couldn't face Miss Brown and Miss Minnick unti! she had time to pull herself together. Downstairs the washroom was empty. In the wide mirror that ran along the wall, Mary Rose took stock of herself —trying to see herself with John Manners’ eyes. “I wonder if he thinks I’m pretty?” she said to herself. The eyes that met hers in the glass were darkly blue under thick lashes. Mary Rose’s hair was black satin, her skin was like thick cream, and health glowed in her cheeks. A creature of warm .color and pulsing youth she was. And yet she never had thought of herself as a beauty. She Mad always agreed with her mother that Flossie carried the looks for the family—Flossie, the little sister who had graced the filing department of the Dexter Company for two years as a daisy might a brickyard. “But in my own way, I’m not so bad-looking,” Mary Rose decided. She opened her vanity case and began to fluff rachel powder over her nose. “Wouldn't it be wonderful if Mr. Manners —” Suddenly stopped. Oh, what was the use of bothering about her looks, anyways? John Manners probably never saw her except as part of the office furniture! No doubt,(he was head over heels in love with some girl whom Mary Rose had nevep heard of! Some lovely creature who toiled not nor spun . . who had never so much as touched a typewriter in her life. “Dolling up for your boss, eh? That’s the time I caught you at it! Mary Rose wheeled at the sound of the light voice behind her. Flossie Middleton had come noiselessly into the room, and stood now in the slanting light from the west window. There was mockery in her eyes. Flossie's favorite saying was that every girl was in love with the man for whom she worked —either that, or he was in love with her. One of the two things, she declared, was bound to happen, wherever men and women worked together in an office. Under her mocking eyes Mary Rose felt herself blushing uncomfortably. She clicked her vanity case shut and dropped it back Into the pocket of her plain black dress. “No, I’m not dolling up for my boss, thanks!” she said all the more emphatically because Flossie had hit the nail on the head. “Well, I am for mine—and I should worry who knows it.” Flossie's tone was matter-of-fact. She opened a tin make up box on the shelf below the mirror and began to lather her face with cold cream. Suddenly she burst into a laugh, “The Big Boss is certainly running around in circles about me, these days,” she said. “Honestly, he doesn't know whether he's coming or going! . . ■ This noon he wanted me to go out to lunch with him again.” Mary Rose stared for a moment. “You don’t mean Mr. Dexter, Flossie, she asked finally, with a sort of gasp. Her sister nodded so that all the little blond curls on her bobbed head danced wildly. “Sure, I mean Mr. Dexter, and nobody else but!” she answered with slangy cheerfulness. “Is—is he in love with you?” “Bats about me, I told you,’’ Flossie said calmly as she rubbed pasterouge into her smooth cheeks. Then she caught a glimpse of Mary Rose’s face in the glass. “Oh, you needn't look so shocked, Purity!’ l she wont on. “I guess a little thrill never hurts anybody.” A little thrill. Surely it wasn’t possible that Flossie w-as “thrilled” even the least bit by the stout, middle-aged head of the Dexter Company! Mary Rose couldn't imagine that, by any wild stretch of the imagination. But it w-as perfectly easy to understand how Mr. Dexter could lose his head over Flossie. Men would always lose their heads over her. She was the type of girl that nine men out of ten “fell for” the minute they laid eyes on her. Mary Rose had often thought that Heler of Troy and Lady Hamilton and all the other blonde beauties of history must have looked a great deal like Flossie. She was little and slim, but deliciously curved for all her slimness. There was a lure in the grace of her body, the sway of her hips as she moved. Her blue eyes were as innocent as a child’s and she had learned a trick of holding her mouth pouted as if it waited for a kiss. Make-up and late hours had not yet had time to spoil Flossie’s babyish beauty. For she was not quite twenty. • Mary Rose looked at her thoughtfully. Was this little kitten of a sister really playing the most dangerous game that a girl can play—the game of love with a married man, a man who had grown daughters of his own? (Turn to Page 8)

THAW AND EVELYN AT PEACE, BELIEF Harry and Wife, Over Whom He Killed Stanford White, Dine Together—Deny Russell’s Escapade.

Bv United Press ATLANTIC CITT, N. J., June 5. The Thaws appear to have buried the hatchet. Harry K. Thaw and Evelyn Nesbit, the wife over whom he killed Stanford White, appeared to have resumed the role of friends again today after almost twenty years. With them was their young son, Russell Thaw, whose paternity Thaw questioned when he and Evelyn were divorced. Both refused to discuss whether they had effected a complete reconciliation or had simply decided to end the state of "armed neutrality" which had kept them apart. Atlantic City was astonished Friday night when Thaw, Evelyn and Russell, with a lawyer, appeared at a big hotel and dined together. The purpose of the meeting, both Evelyn and Thaw declared, was to frame a strong denial of a Chicago story that a boy named Russell Thaw had entertained several companions in a lavish fashion and neglected to pay his hotel bill. "There have been many troubles, but this is too cruel, for my son has jnejjer been in Chicago fexpept when

signed statement , given out by Evelyn. The statement added *hat the Chicago hotel had “uttered a reckless falsehood,” and that Evelyn Thaw intended to sue the hotel for damages. Fully two hundred persons were at dinner in the hotel here when the couple entered. Thaw solicitously led Evelyn by the arm and a buzz of excited talk began throughout the room as they were recognized. Throughout the meal Harry showed Evelyn masked attention. Their conversation was long and earnest. After dinner the couple taxied to to a telegraph office to send messages denying the Chicago story and later, after a walk on the boardwalk, spent the evening at a local case together. "We are very friendly,” Thaw said. Asked if his visit to Evelyn in Russell’s behalf indicated that he was prepared to acknowledge the boy as his son, he replied: “You know that is not true.” HOURLY TEMPERATURES 6 a. m 53 10 a. m 64 •7 a. m...... 55 11 a. m 66 Ba. m-.j... 61 (noon) 66

ALCOHOLISM DEATH RATE ON INCREASE City Official’s Figures Show Demon Rum Is Taking More Lives. Deaths from acute alcoholism in Indianapolis have increased almost from year to year since the advent of national prohibition in 1919, according to records of C. Tom Johnson, board of health statistician. From a low- mark of .64 death for 100,0C0 population in Ul9, the graphic chart show's an increase up to 3.2S in 1925. Decrease in 1919 In 1919 when Indianapolis ( citizens took prohibition rather seriously the deaths were decreasing, but In 1920 they had mounted to 1.59. As the bootleggers began producing their death-dealing liquor substitutes, the rate rose to 3.07 in 1921. Brands of spirits evidently improved during 1922 and 1923, for there were drops to 3.00 and 2.04 in those years. Continues* High In the presidential campaign year of 1924, however, there was an increase of 3.40 and in 1925 it continued high at 3.28. Only a few feet away from Johnson, Jesse R. Dunwoody, city chemist, spends much of his time testing atrocious liquids confiscated in police raids. “People who drink some of this stuff are taking their lives in their hands," Dunwoody has said.

Remy Plans to Step on Appeals “I’m going to stop making it “soft” for bootleggers in Indianapolis to get by through appealing their convictions," declared Prosecutor William H. Remy, Friday afternoon, when Joe Farb, 34 N. Adelaide St., convicted of selling liquor, petitioned Criminal Judge James A. Collins to be lei to bail while his appeal is pending in the State Supreme Court. Remy asked Judge Collins % to fix Farb’s bond at $19,000. Henry Winkler, Farbs attorney, protested such a demand, declaring his client was a victim of a frame up “of the rankest kind." Collins fixed it at $5,000. Wants Rough Road “These bootleggers get two or three appeals pending and then dismiss them al! at the same time and serve the sentences concurrently,” declared Remy. “I want to make it hard for those fellows to appeal by requiring a high bond. Make it tough on those birds and perhaps there will not be so much of this traffic,” said Remy. Given Thirty Days Remy asserted it has been the practice of bootleggers to appeal and be at liberty as long as two or three years before serving any time. Remy informed the court during the past year two defendants whose convictions w'ere sustained by the higher court had “skipped” without being punished. Remy said that appealing from municipal to Criminal Court has dropped 75 per cent since appeals are acted upon quicker. . Farb was fined SIOO and sentenced thirty days in jail. He is alleged to have sold liquor to a Federal agent in a downtown hotel.

PREDICTS FRANCE Will lURN DOWN U. S. DEBT PACT Foreign Affairs Chairman Says Italy Granted Easier Terms. Bu United Press PARIS, June 5. —Franklin Bouillon. chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the French chamber of deputies, declared today that in his personal opinion there is not the slightest chance that the French parliament will ratify the Berenger agreement providing for a settlement of the French debt to Amerlc* He declared that France objects to the arrangement because it does not give her the terms granted Italy, because features of the Dawes plan for Germany are lacking and because the projected use of “order bills” to be given the United States by France would permit other nations to buy from the United States and obtain a fiscal club to hold over France's head.

POLICE SCORED FOR ARRESI OF ONION LEADERS Special Judge Carter Holds Organization pf Labor Body Lawful. Characterizing acts of the police department in arresting organizers of the union among employes of the Indianapolis Street Railway Company. as almost criminal. Special Judge Solon J. Carter, in Superior Court Three, today overruled a motion to dissolve a temporary restraining order against the department. The order was issued on petition for an injunction filed by Frank P. Baker and W. C. Bachelder, attorneys for Russel and Joseph Fort. Jesse Young and Curtis Johnson, former street car employes, and Carl Lucas, an employe. Believes Move Foolish Alvah J. Rucker, city corporation counsel, who represented the police department, declared that he "honestly bebeved the police acted foolishly in ordering the arrests.” He said they were prompted by an honest conviction that a union may result in a strike similar to the one in 1913, when there were riots and bloodshed. Carter ordered Rucker to prepare a court entry written “so simple a police officer could understand it,” and stating on what grounds the police may make arrests. Rucker said he would agree to a permanent Injunction if such terms couid be put in the entry. Carter stated the law in Indiana, specifically says that no officer can arrest a person for a misdemeanor unless he has a warrant or sees the offense committed. The court ruled that the organieing of a union Is a lawful occupation. “Busy as Bees". The court declared the evidence showed that the men arrested on vagrancy charges and placed In jail under high bonds were not idle. Such a practice by the police is criminal, because it has been shown these men were “busy as bees,” Judge Carter said. The court declared that “the placing of -red blooded men in jail illegally would aggravate a strike and probably result in riots and bloodshed if one took place.” Rucker informed the court that in the future the police department will not. order such arrests before obtaining legal counsel.
