Kitty was doing well in school, too. Steve, braving good-natured little Mas indignation, called Mona on the telephone. Ba-ry Townsend .haunted the office. Finally, breaking her vow not to indulge in social engagements with any one met through the office, Mona went, to lunch with Barry. “After all, Steve introduced me,” she eased her conscience. Later she went to tea with him at a smart downtown tea place, while Moliie Drury relieved her at the reception desk. Little by little, piece by piece, Mona gleaned the story of Barry’s business in South America, Steve’s connection with it, and the friendship between these two. “Park and Third avenues never meet, no matter how far they go,” she had told Barry significantly. Steve had hern born on Third. “You iittle snob!” Barry teased. ‘‘Don’t you like me? Won’t you forgive me for living on Park avenue?” “Do you wish to be forgiven?” “There’s no Third avenue and no Park where Steve and I belong, Mona.’” He noted her look of inquiry.

7TSGDE DAY ~ BY BRUCt CATTON

WHEN you get too angry you can argue sh such way (hat you defeat your own ends; and a fine example of this little truth is provided bv Robert Allen in his bonk, "Why Hoover Faces Defeat." Here is perhaps the most virulent bonk of the year. Mr. Allen believes that President Hoover is going to be defeated in the coming campaign. He believes that he ought to be defeated. He has written this book to tell why. So far. so good. A book written on that basis might be a thoughtful. instructive piece of political criticism. But Mr. Allen gets too angry—and his book will probably do the President more good than harm. That is to say, the ordinary reader is apt to arise from a perusal of this book with the feeling that no man can be all that Mr. Allen says President Hoover is. And he is apt to meditate that the President is an unjustly maligned man who deserves a vote of confidence. Some of the criticisms in this book seem to me to be just; but there are so many which are palpably overdrawn that they take the edge off of the just ones. If Mr. Allen, could have restrained himself a bit, he might have produced an effective campaign document; as it is, he has produced a masterpiece of invective—but little more. The book is published by Brewer. Warren Ar Putnam, and sells for $2.

“Sure. We belong there. We re going back when we’ve tied up a few matters of business.” “It must be wonderful.” Mona said wistfully. “No subways, no crowds, no—” “They’d make you queen;" Barry put in. m * m SHE told Lottie what she had learned .when the girls were spending a coev evening together in Lottie’s apartment a few evenings later. “Cooking in,” as they expressed it, and having a feminine hour of chat. It seemed that Barry Townsend’s mother had first been engaged to the Mr. Townsend who was Barry's uncle and Mr. Garretson’s friend. She was half Spanish, this beautiful mother of Barry’s. Wealthy and of excellent family. After being engaged to one brother she married the other. Not the elder one who had the most money, but Barry's father, who was the younger. The jilted fiance never recovered from this blow and the girl’s father refused to forgive her for it. She belonged to an honorable family and had failed to keep her word. The father gave his daughter her dowry, of course, but he never spoke to her again. Asa wedding gift he gave her some land in Brazil—land that had not been productive in hundreds of years. “Maybe you’ll find a diamond mine on it,” the father had said. He meant it as a bitter jest, but the land was, after all, in the diamond country. Then came the amazing part. An old Negress, crossing the land one day, picked up a shiny stone. It was a diamond! Barry's father had worked the mine, had organized a syndicate for this purpose, but it always had been a joke in the Townsend family, for the mine had been a source of expense instead r gain. When Barry’s father died, he left his entire estate to his son.

It was Steve who had helped Barry make something of this property. Steve was diplomatic in dealing with the natives. Together Steve and Barry had made good. Now Barry was baek in New York trying to persuade his uncle to release money that legally would not belong to the young man until he was 30, so that they could install new dredging machinery in the mine. Steve, moreover, had found the gorgeous diamond which they called the Empress of Peru. “Now I’ll tell one,” remarked Lottie drowsily, unbelievingly. Hhe girls had cleared away the dinner—rem kably well cooked by Lottie whose frivolous air concealed many sturdy qualities. They were sitting in the little living room dressed two of Lottie’s most attractive negligees. Lottie was manicuring her nails and Mona, lying flat on her back, abstractedly traced scrolls in the atmosphere with one finger while she talked. “Why don't you marry one of these diamond kings?” Lottie asked presently. Mona marie a slight grimace, charming and eloquent. "No one has asked me, silly,” she said. nun LOTTIE surveyed her nails at arm's length rather carefully. Her heart—or what she would have told you took the place of her heart —leaped strangely at these words. She thought to herself, "Can it be that I'm falling in love with him?” By ’him” Lottie meant Steve Saccarelli. She tucked her slippered feet beneath her on the chaise longue and her eyes became pensive. Wearing blue velvet# pajamas, Lottie looked like a blond angel. Her thoughts were interrupted by the shrill ringing of the telephone. Lottie groaned. “Let the thing ring! We can’t be bothered. Let it ring.” This Is precisely what the telephone did. The instrument continued to jangle noisily until Lottie little silken bedroom and flung herself down in a chair, prepared for an exhaustive chat. Lottie was a victim of ‘‘telephonitis.” once she persuaded herself to take up the receiver. Her voice answered sharply and

rather anxiously, Mona thought Almost immediately. Lottie was back in the living room. “It’s for you,” she said. “For me?” Mona looked blank. “Why. no one knows I'm here—not even mother!” Lottie shrugged. “Then it's someone who took great pains to locate you.” she observed. Mona look up the telephone, and said, “hello.” The voice at the other

A Political Tip AFTER a week of watching the | effects of Governor Harry G, j Leslie's “negative” message to the : special session, it is apparent that < the result was one of “reverse English.” If you’ve ever played billiards, you will understand the metaphor. If j you haven’t, then, for the purpose of explanation, “reverse English” is j obtained by so striking the billiard ! ball that it rolls back instead of going forward. And that is exactly what the Gov- 1 ernor did when he announced he would veto the bills providing for a , $1.50 maximum real estate levy and , a corporate and personal income ! tax. He thought that, as titular head of the Republican party in the state, i the legislative members of that j faith would abide by his decision to oppose the bills. The contrary has happened. Immediately following delivery of the j message, the senate passed the companion bill to the $1.50 maximum levy under the leadership of the Republican floor leader, and when the house Democrats sought to put the G. O. P. senators on the spot, the latter group repudiated the message. nott The house, over strenuous opposition from the Republican minority, invited the senate to recall the $1.50 maximum real property tax bill which passed that body and the senate refused to do so and thus refused the opportunity to sustain the Governor. The house Democrats now; believe it to be good politics to rush that bill through to passage and let the Governor veto it. When 1 it comes back, they will attempt to pass it over his negative action. Thus they hope to make friends of the thousands of farmers, small home owners, and real estate dealers over the state who believe the bill to be their salvation. Similar course of action is planned on the income tax levy and, even if this bill does not pass the senate, the Democrats expect to be able to go out in the fall and say that the. Republican Governor sought only “to protect the vested interests and serve special privilege.” Yet, in all fairness, Leslie's speech did one thing. It awoke members of both houses to a realization that if they waited for him to recommend a constructive tax equalization and relief program, they would still be waiting at the end of the forty days. n n n They grasped the thought that anything constructive must be done upon their own initiative and come from their own efforts and so the members buckled down to work. Awaiting leadership from the man elected to furnish it, they have received nothing but negation. Shortly after the session was convened, Leslie promised that if the legislature appeared stalemated on a program he would offer one. He didn’t deliver and the only thing that may be called a program before the assembly are the bills presented by house Democrats. ! They conceived the uniform salary j slash, budget reduction, and similar bills and are sponsoring the income i tax measure. So, after analyzing the effect of | the Governor’s speech, the column ! will pass on a political tip—if you j want your pet biil passed, get Leslie [ to announce he's “agin’ ” it.

The gentlemen were dressing, and they had instructed Morgan to call several numbers until Miss Morgan was located. Asa matter of fact. Morgan had been instructed to call out “the police, the fire department, and the marines,” but the discreet valet understood these exaggerations and modified his instructions to suit the circumstances. n n a THE car would call for the young ladies in half an hour, he said. “Lets go.” urged Mona. “Do, Lottie!
