Isabel Ruyler. Ellen de Lacey. Louise Prevost. She had been so Intimate with all i of them, not only In the school room but when they were all In j Society together. Now only her somewhat cynical sense of antfclpa- | tion mitigated utter boredom at the | thought of meeting them again Os the other six she bad still vaguer memories, although she recalled : having heard that the beauty of her own last season. Lily Armstrong, had married one of the Tracys. She also was to be at the luncheou I What on earth was she to talk to them about at the table? She eould hardly tell them the story they expected before the servants. That would be for the later hour iu the drawing room—or would it be . In’tbat absurd old room of Jane's upstairs? She recalled Elinor Tracy (Good- ' rich) and her enthusiastic admfra- j tion. which she had accepted as a, matter-of-course, and given little beyond amiable tolerance In return. As she had told Clavering, she was not a woman’s woman. She hoped Nelly bad outgrown “gush." For some ten years after her marriage She had met ber from time to time , abroad, but she had not seen her for so long that she doubted if shei ' would recognize her If they passed ' on the street. The only one of het' ■ old friends for whom she retained | either interest or affection waz | Jane Oglethorpe, who, ten years ’ older than herself, with a com manding personality unfolding rap • Idly at the dawn of their intimacy, ; had attracted deeply but subtly her own untried force of character and rirtblesß will. Embarrassment over, she bad enjoyed their long hour to (fUthor, and was glad to renew iheir intimacy, to find that her old friend’s warm affection had lost nothing with years. And she had found her more interesting than in her youth. She sighed a little as she looked back on her long hours of almost unbroken solitude in this old house She had been comparatively happy at first—a blessed interval of rest am! peace in this * marvelously wealthy and prosperous city where the poor were kept out of sight, at least, where all the men were whole and where one never saw a gaunt woman’s appealing eyes, or emaci ated ragged children. Those uu troubled hours had fled for ever and astonishment, impotent fury. Mid dire mental conflict had fol lowed, but nevertheless she had dreamed- —dreamed and been glad of her freedom from social and all Other duties. Now, probably these somen and many more would jwasm here. vLller mouth twisted as her maid helped her into the soft gray coat trimmed with blue fox. Ordeal! That would come on Saturday night. No wonder she was merely amused and totally indifferent to day! When she arrived at the house in Gramercy Park, purposely late, to I give her entrance the effect Mrs ' Ctalathorpo had commanded, she heard an excited buzz of voices in the drawing room as she was being relieved of her wrap. As she on lereil it ceased abruptly and she ■ fipfra several hardly perceptible gasps. But the pause, before they all crowded about her, was too ; brief to be noticeable, and they shook her hand heartily or kiss.-d , her warmly. If their eyes were perhaps too studiously expression less, their words and manner might 1 been those of old friends wel Lomtng back one who had been j long absent and nothing more. Con flicring emotions, born of undying 1 femininity, were not evident for the I moment. Mrs. Goodrich cried ou. I at once how wonderfully well she looked, Mrs. Lawrence asked If she had stopped iu Paris for het clothes, and Mrs Vane if she found New York much changed. Nothing eould have gone off better. Mrs Oglethorpe, tn old pile black velvet as usual, with a front and fiigb-boned collar of yellow rose poigj lace, stood iu the background Pitching the comedy with a frank sardonic grin. If her guests had been faithless to the traditions in which they had been bred, site wgmlrt have felt angry and ashamed, hut the automatic manner in which they rose to the occasion and took the blow standing (Mrs. Oglethorpe often indulged in the vernacular of her son. ber Janet, and her Lee) . made her rock with silent mirth. She knew exactly how they felt! They were a fine-looking set of yynmen and handsomely dressed, hut they Indisputably belonged to tt-e old regime, and even Mrs Tra <v the youngest of them, had some i~JV’ of what Mary Z.ittiany called UM Cullt up look- They wore sash j pr*-*' -> ■ lonable but not smart They car- | I ried themselves with a certain con- . ! scious rigidity and aloofness which I ! even their daughters bad aban- ' doned and was a source of disre- i spectfuj amusement to their !n Iquftous granddaughters,• although Mrs. Goodrich, Mrs. Lawrence and Mrs. Tracy were more up to date in I their general appearance, wearing slightly larger hats and fewet ; feathers, with narrow dog collars instead of whaleboned net, they were as distjainful as the others ol every art that alms to preserve something of the effect of youth; although they were spfckiugly groomed. They accepted life as it I was, and they had accepted it at every successive stage, serene in the knowledge that In this as In other things they were above the necessity of compromise and sub terfuge. They were the fixed quan i tlties in a world of shifting values. I In age they ranged from fifty-six J to sixty-two, with the exception of Mrs. Tracy, who was a mere fifty two. A few were stout, the others | bony and gaunt. Their hair was I white or gray. Only Mrs. Tracy, with her fresh complexion and soft < brown hair, her plump little figure encased in modern corsets, had got 1 on the blind side of nature, as Mrs Oglethorpe had told Mary. The others were frankly elderly women but of great dignity and distinction, some charm, and considerable hon esty and simplicity. And their loy ,alty never failed them. The* luncheon was by no means i ( easy and informal. Mary, by rack ing her memory, recalled the first names of most of them and never all her varied life had she been Lore sweetly amiable, made so de .termined an effort to please. She might not care what they thought iiu- ■ fJw ‘ 7 ", . .

When she had satisfied the latter's curiosity she led the conversation by a straight path to the sufferings | of the children of Austria and i begged them to join her in forming i relief committee. They received this philanthropic suggestion witli i.o apparent fervor, but it served to i relieve the stiffness and tension un , til they retired to the drawing room j for coffee. They stood about for a few mo- ■ ments. Mary looking up at the por trait of Jane Oglethorpe In ber • j Burning youth. But the hostess or dered them all to sit down and ex ] claimed peremptorily: “Now, Mary, I tell them all about it or I’ll have a ' lot of fainting, hysterical women >n my hands. We're still human I it we are old aud ugly. Go to it, as i Janet would say. I believe you I have met that estimable exponent I of the later New York manner. ; You are no more extraordinary yourself than some ot the changes here at home, but you’re more pic turesque, and ’ that’s harder to j swallow. Put them out of their I misery." The ladles smiled or frowned, | according to what humor the Al i mighty, niggardly In his bestowal ■ of humor, had allotted them. At all events they were used to I "Jane.” Mrs. Goodrich, who had ' led Mary to a sofa and seated her- ■ self beside her, took her hand and 1 pressed It affectionately, as If she were encouraging her on the way I to the operating room. "Yes, tell ; us the story, darling. It Is all too wonderful!" "Do you really mean that you I have never heard of this treat : ment?" asked Madame Zattlany, ' who knew quite well that they had not. “Few things are better known I tn Europe." "We have never heard of It," raid Mrs. Vane austerely, , "We I were totally unprepared." • (To Be Continued), / CHAUTAUQUA CfflNG HEBE NEXT YEMI 61 Citizens Sign As Guarantors Under Auspices Hospital Association Americus is to have Redpath chautauqua in 1924 returning after an absence of three years..

Mr. Sheppey said lie had planned to give Mr. Coolidge a dog, but that recent newspaper dispatches indi cated that the White House “now was long on dogs,” three of them having been sent in. This caused the president to say, according to 'lr. Sheppey: "Well, I guess we can consider the lists closed so far as White , House dogs are W e don t know why neighbors act so foolish and neighbors don’t know why you act so foolish.

J ‘•THE COMMON LAW” AT RYLANDER AGAIN TODAY After scoring a tremendous hit at thd Rylander theater Thanksgiv ing, Robert W.

This great funda- A1 way s cascaraXquinine Relieves /COLD IN 24 HOURS X LA GRIPPE IN S DAYS | ment .1 truth is vividly exemplified I in "The Common Law,” making it i one of the most powerful photo plays of the season. It deals with I “Common Law Marriage,” which is j a marriage not solemnized in the ordinary way but created by mu tual agreement to marry and is designated in law books and by counsel as a "common law mar riage.” The cast of this photoplay is ex ceptionally strong, including such names as Corinne Griffith, Conway Tearle, Elliott Dexter, Hobart Bos worth, Doris May, Miss Dupont, Wally Van, Phyllis Eaver and Bry -1 ant Washburn. ' Saturday’s program at the Ry l ’ander will consist of Buck Jones jin "Skid Proof,” “Buddy at the ' i Bat,” which is a Century comedy, ' ' and William Duncan in “The Steel I Trail.” “Skid Proof’’ is a whirlwind j melodrama, embracing- the race-, track, movie studio and airplanes, i and the director has included some highly original “shot” of flying planes and speeding racing cars. “SHOOTIN’ GAMBLER’ WINS CONTENTMENT Many folks say that the only ; Western pictures or screen dramas | of frontier life are those portrayed by William S.

It is a production that will sat- ; isfy the most rigid demand for gun | play and thrilling episodes amid a i picturesque desert town and a ranch in the cattle mining country. And it will likewise satisfy that craving for the assurance of ulti mate happiness for the climax of this picture culminates in a happy ■ ending.

A Girl at 62 Because of a French-type clay By Edna Wallace Hopper For 40 yeaYs 1 have been a fam ous beauty. I am a youthful beauty , still. On the stage 1 play young girls’ parts and 1 look like a girl of 19. Many years ago French experts taught me the use of clay. That clay multiplied my’ beauty—made me the rage of New York. Then clays were crude and mud dy, as many clays are still. Since then, French experts have perfected clay. They have made it white and clean and dainty. They have added factors which bring manifold ef fects. 1 now use that perfected clay and call it my White Youth Clay. I am an example of what that new type clay does for a woman of 62. You Must Use Clay No girl or woman who cares for beauty can omit her clay. No girl can look her best without it, no wo man can keep her youth. The us ers of clay with their rosy, clear complexions, stand out in every crowd. Clay purges the sking of all that clogs it—the causes of sallowness, blackheads and blemishes. It brings blood to the skin to nourish and reviv c it. The result is that rosy afterglow which so amazes and delights. Clay makes plain girls beauties.

CHATTAHOOCHEE BRIDGE IS PLANNED BY HARRIS FORT GAINES, November 30. — According to the reports reaching here from Washington, the pros pects for a new bridge over the Chattahoochee linking the state of Georgia and Alabama are very bright.
