"Who is it now Steve?" Mona shook her head. "Oh. not Rt.eve, mother It’s Mr. Townsend—" "Barry?” Ma had heard of Barry many times. He had figured frequently in Mona's telephone chats with Lottie. Steve, 100, had of tun spoken of him when visiting the little flat. "No. not Barry. At least not the Barry you mean. 1 married his uncle, John Barnett Townsend, the banker.” "John Barnett Townsend, the banker! And no wedding trip? Let me see your ring.” The rings, both of them, were displayed and brought, exclamations of admiration from Mrs. Moran. “I'll tell you all about it, mother,” Mona explained over the ever-ready cup of tea. "Mr. Townsend is ill. He ask'fd me to marry him immediately. He had been around the office quit, o a bit—” Ma stirred her cup contentedly and pushed a plate of rolls toward Mona.. “And you met him there,” she supplied. “He's a great, friend of Mr. Gar-

BY BRUCE CATTON Y OU get a little bit of everything in “The London Omnibus,” an exceedingly bulky volump in which Doubleday, Doran sic Cos. is presenting something like a cross-section of modern English literature. For one thing, you get a full length novel. “The Water Gypsies," by A. P. Herbert- a delightful, sympatheftc tale of how the daughter of a London bargeman tried to make life give her a break. You also get a first-rate mystery yarn, “The Man at the Carlton,” fcjf Edgar Wallace, and you get Noel Coward's popular play, "Private Lives ” And that isn’t all,*either. There are articles, short stories, essays and what not by a whole boatload of distingui hed writers—H. G. Wells, Rebecca West, Arnold Bennett, Virginia Woolf. Max Beerbohm, Julian Huxley. W. Somerset Maugham, Havelock Ellis, Richard Aldington, r G. Wodehouse and Aldous Huxley. This is mixed company, with a Vengeance, but there’s nothing the matter with hasli if the original ingredients are good. Consider, too, the boon this book will be to those who want to appear conversant with modern writers, but who cant be bothered to do much leading. Thumb through this book and you'll be able to discuss postwar English literature with a lot of verve, if nothing else. And that, very likely, is what the publishers had in mind. The book costs $2.50 and is the August choice of the Literary Guild.

retson's." Mona went on. “He was ill—Mr. Townsend. I mean—and he wanted the wedding to take place right away. “I didn't call you up because I wasn't sure myself. I didn’t want to upset you! But when—" “When you saw the poor man lying here, sick and all. you couldn't refuse. That's my girl, all over! Kindhearted.” Mrs. Moran stopped : talking and scrutinized Mona fixedly. "Do you love him, Min?" she asked. ' For answer Mona rose from her seat and began moving nervously about the room “Mother! Do you think I would marry him because I felt sorry for him?” ‘Girls have queer reasons these days. I'll be bound." her mother answered. "Still and all, Min. you looked happy enough when you came in. I won't worry you." "I am happy—enough, Ma. My husband” < unconsciously she used the phrase) "is a good man. He's kind and he's rich. He's generous, too! I'll be able to see Dad through all the treatment he requires! And I ran do so many things for the rest of you." j “You always do that, Min.” a a a BUT later, when Mona unfolded a hastily devised plan for the welfare of her family, Mrs. Moran was not enthusiastic. “A little house in the country, Min?” she repeated. “Flowers? Birds? A porch to sit on afternoons?" "I thought it w’ould be so nice. Ma. I can afford it now. Nice friends for Kitty and a place for Dad when he's stronger.” Her mother considered. "But, Min, dear, w-e are comfortable here.” "I suppose so.” Mona agreed. "But the country, Mother! I'd love to find you a home in the country. I have money, plenty of it !” "Listen, Min. a little money to run the house, like you always gave me, is enough." Her mother's eyes swept the small flat lovingly. "Maybe some new linoleum for the kitchen. Maybe some new- blankets. But Kitty the new shoes she's been pestering me for. With the money you always gave, Min, and what Bud sends w’e'll get on flrp. But don’t take us aw'ay from here, Min. This is home. There were tears in Mrs. Moran's eyes. “We'd rather stay here and listen to the neighbors talking about how grand the new' linoleum is and our new hats! I want Mrs. Callahan to see you sweeping up to the door. Did you come in your car today, Min?" "A taxi, mother. ’’ Her mother waved a deprecating band. ,“Car or taxi, it's all the same.' Mrs. Moran's face was innocently eager. “I could get the Donahue baby one of (hose jumpers. Mrs. Callahan and I—” "I see.” Mona told her simply, patting her mother's shoulder. And she did see. Ma was quite right. She was happy here. In the sort of home in the country on which Mona had set her heart for her father and mother, how happy would they be? "All right, if that's what you want, ma,” promised Mona. She slid her arms into her new coat and adjusted the collar before ma's little mirror. She smiled back at its reflection as she pulled her hat a wee bit to the right. “I—we are staying at the Ritz now, ma,” Mona told her mother, stooping to kiss her as she left. "In a few days my address will be—here I'll write It." She scribbled as legibly as she eould with a gloved hand. “And here’s the phone number. You won't need it except in case of trouble, because I'm going to drop in every day If I possibly can.” o a MA considered again. “Your husband —will he like that, Min? We re simple people—" "Mother! I told you my husband is a good man!” From the corner store Mona sent groceries. She paused in the butcher shop to select a roast and some fresh eggs to be sent to the Morans, paying for them with new bills that crackled suggestively. She and Lottie had agreed on dinner at 7:30. Lottie, arriving just before 6. found Mona comfortably ensconsed in a becoming negligee,

her bronze hair shining in the lamp light like a halo. “I m trying to decide what to send mother." Mona said, putting aside paper and pencil and rising, her exquisite robe fluttering about her slender figure. “You couldn't join me in a date. I suppose?” Lottie asked carelessly. Mona's voice was tinged with sarcasm. “Hardly. You know that , perfectly well.” Lottie shrugged. “Well, you might just as well have gone to prison. It's a.fine honeymoon you're having!” She drew' a yellow envelope from her purse and handed it to Mona. ' I sent a radiogram to Barry in your name.” she confessed. “Guess I should have saved my time." Hairbrush in hand. Mona wheeled from the mirror, her face white. "You didn’t!” "I did—or rather, you did!" Lottie held the yellow’ envelope I toward Mona w'ho read: "S. S. MIRANDA at Sea. Mona Moran Townsend (in care of Lottie's address'. Barry too ill to answer. Hardly see how it could Jdp mistake. Hope I you wore the necklace. A year is a i long time.—STEVE. Mona scanned Lottie's face.

| THEY TELL ME

Noble Experimenters THIS is too good a story to keep silent especially in view of the manner in which the senate drys killed the bill repealing the Wright j bone dry law. Inasmuch as one of the senators i in the story played an important part in the death of the repealer, to the ol' doctor, at least is unusually interesting. They tell me that during the early evening of the day when the repealer was changed into a refereni dum, one very dry senator and one i wet senator, both of investigatory ! turn of mind, w’ent out to learn for j themselves w’hether prohibition enforcement was the rank failure the I wets asserted. Their noble effort at research regarding the noble experiment bore noble results, for. according to the very highest authority, both members of the great deliberative body were in that exhilarated condition ; sometimes described as “three sheets in the wind and the fourth flapping" when they called a recess to their endeavors. Leaning on each other in the best, spirit of brotherhood, the precious pair took a promenade i along the mezzanine floor of a downtown hotel. Perceiving tw o ladies sitting there, the dry brother passed the time of day. The ladies, recognizing the senators, responded. Because of blurred sight, possibly | the two senators were unable to perceive the identity of the ladies and in a t gallant or spring-time I mood brought up the topic of a drink, etc. The ladies said they were awaitj ing friends, “but the two senators could call at room number j so-and-so in a short w’hile.” The two senators promised eagerly and went on to continue their noble investigation. O tt In a few minutes they went up to the room, knocked at the door, and w’ere told to enter. Imagine their embarrassment when they found the room full of ! w’omen— And imagine the feelings of the pair when, the shock having worn off some of the effect of their experimenting, they realized that the ladies whom they had invited to have a drink were the wives of j brother senators. Oh, yes—the dry senator contin- : ued to vote that way. He evidently didn't believe the ! evidence his investigation had ; brought to light.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

Tarzan and Kcmodofiorensal were thrust w ithin a small room, and'its heavy door was barred behind them. Only a faint ray of daylight illuminated the chamber. "We are alone,” whispered the prince, "but we must be cautious when we talk.” “Where are we?” asked Taiwan.

‘ What did you say in thet wire, for heaven's sake?” “Why. I jusi told Barry that it was a mistake. I said in a year he'd understand. f “He probably thinks you married his uncle for his money. Jackson told me Barry and his uncle had a terrific row—” “You've been talking to the chauffeur again!" an U LOTTIE'S eyes grew rounder “Mona! You told him yourself n come for me tonight at Pilgrim's. Anyhow, there were a lot of things I had to clear up ” ' What things?” asked Mona sharply. "He didn't tell me much,” Lottie went on ruefully. 'Jackson doesn't get into the house very often. This

morning at about 10 when I was hanging around the dressing room waiting for orders, I telephoned Jimmy. Today was his day off and Ir met me during lunch hour,” “Oh. how could you!" Lottie shrugged again. “Mona, ydlire tired and nervous. I don’t blame you, but listen! Jimmy said Barry told his uncle he wanted to marry you. His uncle wouldn't give his consent. . "They argued about money *nd Barry said he couldn't let Steve finance the mine. His uncle said. Give the mine to Steve and stay heme where you belong. Marry that Dower girl!’ “Barry said he wouldn't. He said I'll marry Mona.’ The old man said. Maybe she won't have you when

"We are upon the highest level of the Royal Dome,” replied Komodofiorensal. “next to the central shaft. But tell me. what happened in the wizard s laboratory?” “I nearly discovered how they reduced my stature. ’ replied Tarzan, ‘‘and that at any time I may regain my full size.”

she finds out you won't get any money. Those girls will marry anyone with enough cash.’ Barry got mad at that and said, ‘I suppose you think she'd even marry you!’ The old man said. ’With enough money, yes.' That was your legally wedded spouse's answer.” For several moments neither spoke. Mona tore the yellow envelope into bits slowly. “Well, I married him.” she said. “I wonder if Mr. Garretson knew all this?" “No, Lottie returned. “I asked about that particularly. Old Townsend just put it up to Garretson that he wanted to marry you. It seems he'd seen you at lunch or something.” Mona nodded. “Yes.” she said, as she sat down, the yellow scraps falling unheeded to the floor.

“Don’t worry about that 1 my friend.” chaffed the prince. “Look at these bars on the window.” Tarzan came to the side of Komodoflorensal and took hold of the bars.' “They do not seem overheavy.” he remarked, and at the same time exerted pressure upon them. They bent!

“Mona." she said presently, "is it a year?” “Oh. cheer up. Min! It's just a veat. and then Reno.” "A year is a long time." Lottie said unconsciously, quoting the radio telegram. “We'll think cf something to be done in a year." But as usual it was Fate that stepped in and decided the matter.

She was given a stamp with Theo--1 dore Roosevelt's picture on it.
