Yes, even when old man Jones—you know who he is, the man who makes the nation's collars—was telling: + me exactly how he wanted the portrait of his new wife painted. Silly old chap! Tossing aside the woman who's stood by him for years and marrying ‘this towheaded baby!” Gail flashed him a swift glance. ‘Derek really meant it! “Maybe I

a portrait of my son's small daughter. I'd like you to paint a pore trait of the child, but she’s quick as lightning and it will be a hard commission.” Gail turned away.

the crowd comes.” Mrs. Morton finished her talk, having arranged that Derek should drive with her to her son’s country place up on the Hudson the following week. With another kindly word to Gail she turned away to meet the guests who were now rapidly filling the rooms. “You've made a hit with her,” Derek told Gail. “If you ever need a boost from the one woman in New York who doesn’t care a hang for precedent or anything else, but always hits straight from the shoulder, I know you'll get it,” Derek murmured enthusiastically. * Gail smiled as they passed from one group to another. Would she ever remember who was who among all the people to whom Derek was introducing her? “Oh, excuse me a minute. I forgot to ask Raf Gregory, the art critic, why he gave old Haszlitt such a knock. He ought to know better.”

FOR CAMPAIGN]

Leaders to Remain Away From Convention This Year.

(Copyright, 1936, by United Press)

- WASHINGTON, June §.—Dry leaders confidently predicted today that prohibition will be re-estab-lished within a decade. They admitted, however, that it would be a vain battle to seek an anti-liquor plank in Republican and Democratic Party platforms this year. .

‘Apparently certain that - they would be defeated, prohibition forces are content to stand on the sidelines this year while various other organized minorities will indorse or condemn New Deal messures before the convention's resolutions committee in an effort to influence wording of the party planks. F, Scott McBride, superintendent of the militant Anti-Saloon League, predicted that a. majority of the 48 states would return to’ prohibition within the next five years and that 10 years would find approximately 40 states favoring the dry cause. -

However, he announced that he’

would not appear before the resolutions committees as he did in 1928 and 1932. Then he pleaded for strict Fedgral enforcement; now there is no Federal enforcement,

Work on Local Sentiment

Repeal in 1933 returned the prohibition issue to the state,” Mr. McBride said. “The policy of the Anti-Saloon League is to work for the establishment of a local pubfic sentiment against the promotion of alcoholism through the legalized sile of liquor with government sanction rather than to seek to inject the liquor issue into the eoming Presidential campaign. Prohibition will become a national

that? She could not dream that on & day not so far distant she would remember those words and realize another person might read a different meaning into them. “How's the work been going?” “Oh, I've had a wonderful time. If it isn’t too terribly wicked to say it, I hope it goes on this way for months.” Smiling gaily, Gail told

Derek all that had been happening *

at Madame Lizette's. The taxi stopped in front of one of Park-av's most imposing apart-

_ ment houses.

‘Are we there already?” Gail

. asked. Putting a slender hand

lightly on Derek's arm, she asked anxiously, “You're sure Mrs. Morton won't have changed her mind— that it will be all right for me to tag along with you?” “Always all right,” he answered,

crushing her hand in his.

Still I'm glad you do.” ' “He' has been very kind to me.” Quickly Gail told of their meeting. , “Just like Derek. He had a long, hard row to hoe, though meeting him now you'd never know it. But success is not going to turn his head. I don’t want creatures like that Travers girl to do-it, either. Better have your engagement: anhounced immediately. Then perhaps they’ll keep their hands off—at least they'll know they should!”

“But we're not engaged!” Gail's |

cheeks grew rosy. “You will be,” said the homely old woman, patting the girl’s shoulder as she moved forward to meet a belated guest. Again Gail's eyes turned to Derek. He was coming across the room, bringing Lucille with him.

# E- ” . “ ELLO, Gail. I thought you'd like to know that Derek's going to paint my portrait. I want him to come to our place now and select the frock I'm to wear, but he says he has to take you home.” Gail started to say, “All right!” when swiftly she remembered the warning gleam in Mrs. Morton's dark eyes. ‘Why should she let Lucille take Derek away? “He's quite right,” Gail said. “We have a date for tonight. He can select your frock some other day.” Lucille shot her a glance of hate.

“I'm dated up all next week, and | §:

he wants to start at once. Perhaps I won't have the portrait, after all.” * “Don’t say that! ‘A portrait by Hargreaves may be valuable some day,” Gail said sweetly, while Derek cried, “Thanks for the boost, Gail” as he piloted her toward the door.
