RECORD FLIGHT PLANE TO TRY ATLANTIC HOP Two German Machines to Take Off Next Week for New York.

By United Press BERLIN, Aug. 6.—Germany was almost hysterical today with enthusiasm over the feat of a Junkers plane in establishing anew endurance record and it was predicted that two Junkers planes would start next week on a non-stop flight to New York. The pres® devoted pages to the endurance feat, emphasizing that the record of 51 hours and 11 minutes established over Long Island last spring by Bert Acosta and Clarence D. Chamberlin in a Bellanca monoplane had been broken by Germans with a German plane and motor. The new record was 52 hours and 25 minutes. Friday’s record breaking plane and another of the same model will attempt the Atlantic crossing. The planes will be named the Europe and Bremen. Postal authorities already have announced their readiness to accept the first trans-Atlantic air mail from delivery in North America. Letter postage will be $5 and postcards $2.40.

Chamberlin to Try Again By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—Clarence D. Chamberlin, trans-Atlantic aviator, announced Friday he would attempt to recapture the airplane endurance record set by him and Bert Acosta and which was broken today by two German fliers. “All I need is a ship,” Chamberlin said.

BEGIN HERE TODAY JERRY MACKLIN, advertising manager for the Peach Bloom Cosmetics Cos., proposes to change VERA CAMERON, his plain, old-fasliioned secretary, into a beauty and to photograph her in each stage of hte change. At first Vera indignantly refuses, but that same dgy when she sees and falls hopelessly In love with a man she hears called Schuyler. she reconsiders. She hears he Is going to Lake Minnetonka in June, ams as she goes back to Jerry with her decision, she tells herself she will undergo anything to be beautiful by June. Because of Vera’s green eyes. Jerry Is reminded of an uncaptioned Sunday supplement picture of a handsome woman and he asks the beauty specialist to refashion Vera, using the picture as a model. Vera is astonishingly beautiful after the transformation. When she begs Jerry not to use her picture in the advertising, he refuses unless she will give up her trip. At the hotel the clerk and management become deferential, offering to change her room and sending a maid up for ner use. In the dining room she sees the man she has come all the way to meet. When he sees Vera, he comes to her table and asks if she does not remember that they met in Palm Beach five years ago. She tells him he is mistaken and he leaves in confusion. After dinner, a Mr. and Mrs. Bannister approach Vera and Mrs. Bannister gives her the hotel gossip, including the fact that Schuyler Smythe and NAN FOSDICK are probably engaged. She asks Vera to join a swimm‘Mr& ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER XV —-HEN Vee-Vee returned to her \Y/ room for an hour's rest beW fore dressing for the swimming party which the lively Mrs. Bannister had arranged, she found a great basket of roses on Her desk. Her first thought was that Jerry had sent them from New York the night before, after leaving the station, but when she lifted the card attached to the green wicker basket she read: “With the compliments of the management of the Minnetonka Hotel.” While she was wondering whether the Minnetonka extended the same courtesy to all its arriving guests, there came a knock on the door. She opened to a large, florid semi-bald man who bowed and beamed. “I am Mr. Thurston, the manager Miss-er-Cameron,” he told her. Vee-Vee had a hysterical desire to laugh and to tell him ,“My name is not Miss Er Cameron; it is Miss Vera Cameron,” but she controlled the impulse, merely nodding gravely.

“In the first place, Miss-er- Cameron, I’d like to assure you that we are delighted to have you, highly honored in fact,” the big man began awkwardly. “Thank you,” Vee-Vee smiled, the dimple in the comer of her mouth flashing out at him. “I have just been admiring the roses you sent. It is very kind of you.” “Grown in our own conservatory,” Miss-er-Cameron, the management would like to put a suite at your disposal, something more in keeping with your-er-standard of living, if you don’t mind my saying so—” “Thank you,” Vee-Vee Retorted firmy. “I like this roonYvery much. I congratulate you on the good taste of your decorator. I have really no desire at all to change.”

.“I was about to add—at the same price you are paying for the one room,” Mr. Thurston hastened to assure her, as if he were familiar with the tight-fistedness of the rich. “The house feels honored to have you, wishes to put its best at your disposal—” “Thank you,” Vee-Vee repeated, more firmly. “I am very comfortable here.” She hesitated, was about to question the deferential* manager frankly on the puzzling subject of her mistaken identity. But some instinct of caution,or a hitherto suppressed spirit of adventure restrained her. She contented herself with adding in a rather arrogant voice: “There is only one thing you can do to add to my comfort, Mr. Thurston, and that is to correst immediately any false impression as to my identity. I shall be very much annoyed if I am not accepted simply as Miss Vera Cameron.” “Oh, certainly, certainly! I understand perfectly, Miss—Cameron. Your wishes shall be law, I assure you.”

When he had gone, Vera leaned weakly against the foot of her bed and groaned aloud: “Well, I wish I understood perfectly! What the devil is it all about?” Again she remembered the letter which Jerry Macklyn had broken traffic laws to get |to her before her train left. What was it he had said?—“You’re not to v open it unless you find yourself in a jam,” Could Jerry have possibly foreseen this ridiculous situation in which she now found Jierself? Her only thought when he had given her the letter, was that it was a reiteration of his proposal of marriage, designed to comfort her if her campaign to win the man she had fallen in love with should end disastrously. What else had he said about it?

“If what I’m thinking of happens, as there is one chance in a thousand that it will, you may find that the information and instructions in this letter will help you.” Could this be the “jam” that Jerry had had in mind? Was it not entirely possible that he had later discovered the identity of the woman whose picture he had used as a model in fashioning her into a beauty? She opened her envelope handbag and drew out the letter, weighed it in her hands thoughtfully. It was quite bulky. She was about to tear it open when a curious hesitancy stayed her fingers. After all, she was hardly in a “jam.” She had merely been mistaken for someone else. Asa result of that mistake the management of the exclusive Minnetonka Hotel was exceedingly anxious to please her, and guests who would probably have ignored a nobody like Vera Cameron were “dying” to meet her. Although her curiosity was almost overpowering, she restored the letter unopened, to her handbag and went to her desk to write a brief note to both her Aunt Flora and Jerry Macklyn. she wrote a far longer letter to Jerry than she had intended, a gay, whimsical letter in which she described the hotel, its beautiful setting beside the lake, a few of her fellow guests, and her own appearance among them. “You would think, Jerry dear, that I am visiting royalty, judging from the reception I have had. I can't believe that I am me—if you will pardon the lapse frohi grammar,” she wrote. “Your Galatea is a knock-out, Jerry, a wow, in choice Broadwayese. “But, oh, .Jerry, this business of being pretty is so new and all that I’m scared into a frozen image of haughty stand-offishness every time anyone speaks to me. Can you smell the golden-yellow Marachel Neill roses that the manager sent up to me? Honestly! “Good-by, dear Pygmalion. I’m going to dress now for swimming. I hope there are no bathing beach censors here, for you simply would not let me get a respectably long bathing suit. I'm going swimming with him, Jerry—and others, too, worse luck! He is even nicer than I had remembered. Fondly—Galatea.” She sat for a long minute tapping her penholder against her teeth, then she wrote swiftly: ‘P. S. Honesty compels me to admit, Jerry, that he is reputed to be engaged to a girl who needs your kindly service as Pygmalion far more than I ever did! Now laugh and make me hpte you!” She herself was far from laughing as she undressed. She was about to slip into her bathing suit, conveniently laid out for her by the maid who had unpacked her trunks, when a sudden thought brought a cry of dismay to her lips. “Good heavens,” she groaned. “I don’t dare go in swimming for fear of ruining my complexion! I’ll have a million freckles In two days and Kitty Proctor won’t be here to peel me again.”

Wrapping a kimono about her slim, white, naked body, she got the big box containing a complete assortment of Peach Bloom Cosmetics. Searching frantically among the black and gold jars, with their pretty sprays of peach blossoms, she found what she was looking for—a greaseless vanishing cream which promised its users to prevent freckling and sunburn. “I’ll look like Schuyler’s Miss Fosdick in less than a wek if I don’t take care,” she told h*-self ruefully, ■ as she cleansed her face of powder with Peach Bloom cold cream, then worked in the vanishing cream swiftly, with the tips of her fingers She coated her face, neck>, arms and shoulders with the fragrant cream, rubbed it gently until it had disappeared, then dusted a pearltinted powder lightly over all surfaces that the bathing suit would not cover. “What price beauty?” she laughed as she stepped into the bathing suit. She had brought three suits with her, but the one that the maid had laid out was her favorite, since it matched her eyes. It was of emerald green silk jersey, very snug and short. Mrs. Bannister had told her that there was a special elevator in the right wing of the hotel, which delivered its passengers into a sun parlor connected with the pavilion leading to the lake. Vee-Vee was wearing her beach coat over - her bathing suit and swinging her cap by its chin strap

when the elevator descended to the sun parlor with her. “Oh, there you are!” Little Mrs. Bannister bulging plumply out of a very tight red satin bathing suit, came bouncing toward Vee-Vee. “What a dream you are! John, isn’t she too divine! “My dear,” she lowered her voice to a whisper, “I don’t blame you for anything! Any girl as sublimely beautiful as you are Is a law*unto herself. I just wanted you to know that I didn’t blame you!” And she squeezed the bewildered girl’s arm affectionately. John Adaire Bannister—to use his whole name as his wife invariably did—revealed narrow shoulders and knobby knees in a loosely fitting wool jersey suit, as he advanced with amusing deference to Vivian's side. “The others are coming right down,” he told her, his eyes lighting up with admiration as he took in the lines of her slim, perfect body. Even as he spoke the elevator door opened ami Schuyler Smythe stepped out, alone. He was wearing ia purple and black dressing gown over his bathing suit, shabby brown leather slippers on his stockingless feet. “Miss Fosdick not here yet?” he

"Oh, Mr. Smythe!” Mrs. Bannister clapped her hands and bounded toward him. “Have you met Miss-er-Cameron?” “We met—a long time ago,” Schuyler Smythe smiled directly into Vee-Vee's eyes.
