He had given her a year after that marriage to decide whether she wished to divorce him or whether she had been able to fall in love with him. But she was in love with Barry

Lobby Activities "VJO previous session of the general assembly has seen so many or so large and determined lobbies as •in the special session drawing to a close. Because the bills under consideration affected salaries of a large number of office holders, there was an outpouring of this class. The firemen’s and policemen's association had many representatives present and they were exceeded in number only by the lobbyists for the various mushroom taxpayers’ associations, represented by such as John Aiken and "Kleagle” Ora King. The railroad lobby, attempting to force through the vicious House Bill 701, turned out in force and augmented by representatives of the rail brotherhoods, has been exceedingly active. Its tactics have been open to many insinuations and at„acks on the floor of the senate. Although the utility lobby worked 'hard, it met with failure and despite all its efforts the public ownership bill managed to slip through to the Governor. What he does is another story. It is interesting to note in this connection that for the first time in many years the utility lobby was handicaped by lack of the wherewithal for entertainment purposes and other forms of social diversion so that the necessary pressure could not be exerted, they tell me. Perhaps that partly explains why the public ownership bill made the grade. 000 But, all in all, none of these lobbies has earned the opprobrium of all observers as that of the small loan operators, fighting to stave off a reduction in the annual 42 per cent interest rate. Chief and most notorious of this group of small loan lobbyists is that individual who became known as “Teapot Dome’”" in the last session because of rumors that he, like his namesake, dealt in big figures. Perhaps this is not true, although there is conceded generally to be some ground for the old axiom, “that where there is smoke there is bound to be fire.” But, anyhow, the group of parasites hanging around the fringes of a legislative session, seeking easy pickings, always has regarded him as its special prey, and he has laid himself open to their ravages because of the tactics he pursues in attempting to kill the interest bills. The other day in the senate, while a voice vote was being taken on a question affecting the interest slash bill, "Teapot Dome” was heard joining his voice in the vot-

now! She had been in love with him ?ver since she had first seen him. How could he fail to have understood? Why had he kept silent when he had the opportunity to speak to her at Twilands? What about Miss Dower? Yes, there was still Miss Dower to be reckoned with. And why should he make all this known to her through Mr. Garretson, his uncle's lawyer? Barry was ill, of course, but if that were the cause it seemed to Mona that the matter could have waited. But what did all this matter if she was really to have Barry? The part, so clearly explained by Mr. Garretson about the money, w'as unimportant. She would have married Barry without a cent! She would have been glad to go to the tropics with him, even to dig in the mines. Anything, to be with him. As Mona returned to her desk her eyes fell on the check, still I folded in her hand. That would take care of her father. Reindorsing it, she scribbled a note to Dr. Dean and placed it in an envelope. As she walked to the mail chute, this business of Dad’s care off he. 1 mind, she felt freer to deal with her own affairs.
ing; a few minutes later he beckoned to one of the senators who was to vote against interest reduction. This senator came to the rail and evidently was instructed by "Teapot ing or majority side for reducing the levy, because he so did. Purpose of this was to permit the enemies of the slash to use a parliamentary trick to pull the bill back for another vote, but it failed. Perhaps ‘‘Teapot Dome” is not aware of the rules or the criminal code which makes it a violation for a nonmember to vote or to instruct a member on how he should vote. It is high time that the activities of “Teapot Dome,” as well as those parasites who feed upon him, be aired thoroughly.

THE men who fly the night air mail are the central figures in "Night Flight,” a stirring new novel by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It happens to be the air mail ol Argentina instead of the United States, but airmen seem to be airmen, no matter what country they hail from, and these Argentinians appear very like our home-grown breed. The story tells of a cyclonic storm that blows east from the Andes to disrupt the night service converging upon Buenos Aires. The men at the airport are waiting for three planes—one from the north, one from Chile, and one from the far southern reaches of Patagonia. Two of the planes arrive safely; the Patagonian plane is lost, somewhere in the night; and the burden of the whole thing is borne by Riviere, the hard-bitten superintendent of the line, who drives his men without a respite and who is guided solely by the maxim that the mails must get through. It is an exciting and moving story. We ride in the cockpits of the storm-tossed planes, we place the floor of the superintendent’s office with Riviere, we wait in suspense with the wives of the lost pilots. We get, in fact, a complete and authentic picture of an exacting and dangerous calling, and “Night Flight” becomes the first novel of real literary merit to discuss one of the most fascinating phsase of modern life. Published by the Century Cos. for $1.75. "Night Flight" is an August selection of the Book of the Month Club.
How she wished that she could see Steve! For some inexplicable reason she felt vaguely disturbed. Reaching for the telephone, she was assured by central that Steve’s number gave no answer. Well, this was something she must decide for herself. Briefly she spoke over the telephone again, this time to Mr. Garretson. She had considered the matter, she said, and was ready to accept. “Excellent!” he replied promptly. ‘‘l can assure you that you will not regret it. You have some girl friend, I suppose, who would go with you? The ceremony is to be performed at Twilands. “I’ll send the car for you at about 10 tomorrow morning. You can make your arrangements and drive out together. I’ll meet y° u there. Is that satisfactory?” 000 MONA gave him Lottie's address. She had decided that she would spend the night with Lottie instead of going home. For some reason Mona felt it unwise to tell her mother of the approaching marriage. If it all seemed strange to Mona, what would Ma say? “Then Mr. Townsend expects me tomorrow?” asked Mona timidly. Her employer laughed reassuringly. “He hardly dared expect you, but he will be very pleased when I tell him the news. “And by the way, you’ll want to buy a few things. I'm sending Miss Drury out with an envelope.” The envelope with which Miss Drury presently appeared contained several bills. In Mr. Garretson’s precise handwriting it was further explained that Mona and her friend might N use the car the next morning and that they would be expected at Twilands at about 1 o’clock. The ceremony was to be extremely simple, because Mr. Townsend was not at all well. Once more Mona lifted the telephone to apprise Lottie that she wished to spend the night with her. The excitement in her voice aroused Lottie’s curiosity immediately. “Is it anything particular?” she asked hopefully. “Wait until you hear!” Mona returned. “I'm going to be married tomorrow!” Lottie was parading the tiny living room when Mona rang. “The blushing bride!” she exclaimed. “When in the world' did all this happen? Who's the lucky man?” 000 HER hat flung aside, Mona sank to the couch and told Lottie briefly of her interview with Mr. Garretson. As she talked, she ran slender fingers through the usually unruffled smoothness of her carefully groomed hair. “You're nervous as a witch!” Lottie declared. “Here —let me get this straight! You got the money from the firm and sent it to the doctor. That means your Dad’s all set. You don’t have to go on the marriage block to lift the mortgage.” She sank to the floor at Mona’s feet. “Now then, old Garretson said that one of his clients wanted to marry right away and had picked you. Who is this romantic bird, anyhow? Why didn't he put an ad in the paper?” Mona laughed nervously, in spite of herself. “That’s what I don’t understand, Lottie,” she said. “You see, the man is Barry!” “Barry!” Mona nodded miserably. “That’s why it’s all so queer. Os course I know Barry is ill, but he and his uncle aren’t on good terms, you know. Why should his uncle want him to marry me, just a working girl?” “Say—he can count himself darned lucky—!” Lottie began hotly. Mona interrupted to say, “I’ve tried to reach Steve to ask him about it, but he doesn’t answer his telephone.” “I’ll try again,” the other girl offered. But there was no answer to the call. Lottie announced that they might as well eat, and ordered sandwiches sent from a restaurant across the street.

“Well, we can’t figure out the rest of it,” she said, filling the percolator with coffee, “but at least we can plan what you’re to wear. Let’s see —your blue suit. No, wait a minute! Wear mine. It’s newer. “I brought a hat home tonight and you can have that. It will be swell with the suit. We’ll get a lace blouse. Let’s see—about shoes—” Mona’s shoes did not quite pass muster and it was decided to purchase new ones. “We could buy a complete outfit, Lottie,” Mona insisted. “1 have the money—” “Yes, but time is scarce. It took me ten days to decide on that suit. It will be okay on you, but it’s just for tomorrow, though. I’ll lend it to you for luck and then you can send it back.”

They gathered around him, asking many questions in their strange sign language. “I am going to keep her,” replied the son of The First Woman. “She shall cook for me. If she refuses”—he made a jab at the she’s ribs with his spear. She dropped fearfully upon one knee.
THEY planned practically and swiftly. The shopping list included anew blouse, gloves, shoes and hose. Flowers were considered, but vetoed. “Maybe the bridegroom gets the flowers still, even if he does propose through his lawyer,” Lottie said. Lottie upheld Mona in her decision not to telephone her mother until the ceremony had been performed. “You can still change your mind or he can change his,” Lottie pointed out, as at last the girls prepared for bed. “Yes, and Barry’s uncle can change his, which is more to the point,” Mona agreed. The whole thing seemed so strange to her —so very strange. Mona slept, but Lottie lay awake.
her brows knitted in the dark. Later Mona awoke to find Lottie still thinking, sitting up in bed. arms tightly pressed about her knees, her head bent. “So, you're going to live in that brownstone Townsend house, Min.” she said. "Well, here’s power to you. I walked past it just the other day.” “You won't do that again, Lottie,” Mona answered drowsily. “Why not?” “You won’t walk past with me living there. You'll come in!” Lottie squeezed her friend's hand affectionately. “You're a good kid. Min. I wish you lots of happiness.” And Mona's wedding day dawned to find both of them fast asleep.

The others taking their leader's example, now rushed off after the fleeing women. Alone wjth his she, the son of The First Woman turned upon her, demanding: “You will cook for me?” To his signs she merely turned a snarling face. With his spear shaft he then knocked her down.
