When a man has a practical and methfe’dleal habit of mlfid and body he. pursues'' - the ac customed tenor of his way, what ever the ferment of his spirit. Cla vwiug’s spirit was mercurial, but : long since subject to his will, and it would no more have occurred to E , him to neglect his regular work be cause he was in love and a state of suspense than to put on petticoats and vyalk up Fifth Avenue It might be better or worse under - foreign ' Impact, but It would be done, and all else banished for the „ honr. There were times when he wrote better surrounded by the stimula tions of the office; when be was { S neither fagged nor disturbed Io S worked at home. During this wck e of incertitudes he rose late, lutit hed with friends at the Sign of the In dian Chief, a restaurant wh' re the i cleverest of them —and those who '4 were so excitedly sure of their clev erness that for the . moment they i convinced others as wi ll as them- , ■- selves —foregathered daily.

Sometimes there was a terrifying i upheaval in one of those graves. A • dismal figure fought his way out. '• tore off his cerements, am} stalked . forth, muttering: '‘ 'Hut 1 stride on, i austere. No hope I have, no fear,’" ’ leaving a puzzled uneasiness be ! hind him. But for good or 111, it was a mat i io,- for congratulation that criti ' cism was at last being taken seri ously in the United States. t There was a jazz party at the 1 studio of a hospitable girl artist ‘ wh>-re ('layering danced with sev- ( ral of the prettiest young actress ; <s of recent Broadway fame until . diwu. and drank enough to make I 'm as wild as Ulfr reßi ° r llle - b-J B uui heea for the seasoned apparatus inherited from hard drinking Southern ancestors. Al together, ho gave himself little time for thought, and if he felt at times an inclination to dream he thrust It from him with an almost superstitious fear. He would spec ulate no longer, but neither would he run the risk of Invoking the laughter of cynical gods. If unim aginable disaster awaited him, at least he would not weaken bis de fenses by a sojourn in the paradise of fools. He avoided Oglethorpe and Din widdle, and although he had en gaged himself to dine at the Good riches on Thursday night he sent an excuse. On Thursday morning, as he was turning over the pages of one of the newspapers his eye was arrest ed by the name Zattiany. He nev- | er read Society paragraphs, but that name would leap to his eyes anywhere. The announcement was as brief as “social notes” always are in the dally editions of the morning papers: “Mrs. Oglethorpe ] gives a luncheon tomorrow at her ; house in Gramercy Park to the j Countess Zattiany of Vienna.” So! She had Satisfied Mrs. Ogle- j thorpe. That was one on Dinwid- [ die. 4 On the following night he bought himself an admission ticket to the Metropolitan Opera House and en tered at the close of the second act. W As he had half expected, she was In Mrs. Oglethorpe's box, aud it was crowded with men. He fan cied that his older friend ‘looked both plum and amused.

The long white gloves disappeared into her sleeves some where above the elbow and aha wore a single string of pearls. She looked very Parisian, very elegant, ■ as Mrs Oglethorpe would have ex , pressed it, and very assured. In I spite of the mocking gleam In the one visible eye her face was serene : and proud. She had felt some trepidation on Tuesday when she had sought out Mrs. Oglethorpe and made her ex planations, but she felt none what ever at the prospect of meeting these other twelve old friends. Whether they approved or resent . ed, were Indulgent or elevated their i respectable noses and Intimated, "You are no longer one of us," was a matter of profound indifference I to Mary Zattiany. She would have i avoided them all It ft had been pos- ' sible, but since she had deliberately permitted her hand to bg forced I ; she ’ would take the situation hu- I morously and amuse herself with | i whatever drama it might afford, I (To Be Continued) DR.

It is not whole wheat flour, but is a food after the form of peas and beans, and more potent in its nutritional effect than any cooked fqpd eVer before pro duced, because the cooking has not demineralized nor oxidiz ed its mineral constituents.

De cision of these two organizations to co-operate with the Southern body unites three principal; raw material producing sections ol the nation into an organized unit which is expected to prove a powerful combination of industrial strength in securing and maintaining tariff rates suited to the needs ol the productive industry. These co-ordinated interests will fight to retain'vegetable oil sched ule of the present tariff law. Tele grams received at headquarters oi the Southern congress today re ported that W. F. McClure, head of the recently organized Western Tariff association, and W. S. West on, of Omaha, chairman of the Mid-West Tariff association now forming, would be in Chattanooga •December 7 to attend the tariff congress to aid in the formation of a program of action that will unite and cement producing inter ests of the nation. Bankers Co-operate The three tariff organizations represent more than thirty-five pro ducing states of the nation. Bank ers of the South, realizing that opening of the vegetable schedule by tariff commission is serious menace to the §outh, also have joined in aid of the fight the con gress is making for Southern pro ducers by sending checks to con gress headquarters to aid the cam paign against the tariff reduction. C. C. Nottingham, of the First National Bank of Chattanooga, is treasurer for. the congress. Bank .ig associations ail over the South' will be represented at Chattanooga j meeting. , • in rallying to support of the at tacked producers, the banking in terests, according to congress off • ! rials, have shown they appreciate that the welfare of the South is linked up with the prosperity of Soutlun farmers. It is pointed , out tnat concerted effort is being made in Washington by powerful ' organized selfish commercial inter ests who are purchasers of the | South's raw products to destroy the ; present schedules df the principal products of the South. The meeting is to plan a defence , end solicit sympathy and sentime it ! of Southern industry. The bank ers, according to a letter from Kob er E. Wait, of Little Rock, presi dent of the Arkansas Banks asso eiation is more capable ot quickly grasping the significance of the sudden inflation in prices and to visualize the panic that would fol low if the .hopes and aspiration of the powerful interest antagonistic - | to the farmers succeed in carrying ' otu their program. Mr. Wait has | advised the congress officials that j he has appointed a strong delega- ; ti<n of Arkansas bankers to attend j the meeting. Robert W. Chambers’ famous novel, "The Common Law,” is the special The, iksgiving attraction at the Rylander theater, playing on Thursday and Friday with Eesop’s Fables. On Thanksgiving day the Rylander will open at 2 P. M., giv ing continuous performances. For ‘The Common Law” one of the strongest casts in filmdom has been Secured. In it are Corinne Griffith. Elliott Dexter, Conway Tearle, Doris May, Hobart Bos worth, Miss Dupont, Wally Van, Harry Myers and Phyllis Haver. "The Common Law” is the story -cf an artist’s model and life in general in the art studios of modern times and it vividly portrays many of the humiliating indignities to which the models are compelled to submit. As Valerie West, thg cul tured daughter of refined parents, but who has now been thrown upon the world to earn her own living, after many attempts to secure em ployment she is at last in despera tion driven to the studio of a painter to endeavor to secure work as a model. Os course she is quite ignorant of the state of affairs existing among artists and enters assuming that 'ill is as it should be. There is much drama and pathos when the artist, callous to all the finer sensibilities, gruffly orders her to go to itie Hressing room and take off all her clothes. It is either that or starve. What shall she do? What would you do in such a case? This is one of the most highly dramatic situa tions that has ever bebn presented '.y any screen offering, according to pre-views of the photoplay. No one who lays any claim to being at all fair-minded can reas onably condemn Valerie for her de cision to accept the situation and 1 comply with the artist’s demands at least anyone who has experi enced the terrible torture of hungel’ would hestitate before “casting the first stone,” and there the story is absolutely true to life ,for it. :s only ; ,n fiction that the heroine would righteously and indignantly denounce the artist, stalk majestic ally and proudly out of the studio, and so nobly forego her only chance for bread and butter. This is only one of the dramatic crises in which “The Common Law” abounds.
