But after all, you would not be one of them. Even though they genuinely appreciated your accomplishments, still you would be little more than an Interesting Incident They are workers, engaged In doing the things they think most worth while —which are worth while because they furnish what the Intelligent public Is demanding Just now. and upon which the current market places a high value. And you are merely an Intellectual young wom an of leisure. They might think It a pity you didn’t have to work, but secretly, no matter what their re gard, they’d consider you negligible because you belong to a class that Is content to be. not to do l as sure you they consider themselves the most Important group In New York—ln America —at present: the Hfe-glvlng group of suns round which far-off planets humbly re volve." * “I see. You mean that my nov elty would wear thin long before theirs. Heaven knows 1 have little to give them. I should feel rather ashamed sitting at the head of my table offering nothing but terrapin and Gobelins. But don't you think 1 could make real friends of some of them? Surely we would find much In common to talk about — and they certainly take time to play, according to Uncle Din." “1 think there would always lie a barrier. . . . Ah! 1 have an Idea. Why don't you set up a stu dio and take your painting serious ly? Cut yourself off from the old life and Join the ranks of the real, workers? Then, by degrees, the* would accept you as a matter of coarse. You could return their hospitality in your studio, which could be one of the largest—there Is no» danger of overwhelming them; they are tom successful them selves. Think ft over." • Miss Goodrich's face, which had IB ii I if p - “‘But you’ll keep your word and tell me everything tonight?” looked melancholy, almost ho po les.,. lit up again. Her red mouth lifted at the corners, light seemed to pour Into her hazel eyes. ‘TH do It!” the exclaimed. "1 did a portrait of father last month and It really Is good. He Is delighted wiih it. and you know how easy he 1s to please! 1 wonder I never thought at it before. You certainly are the most resourceful man in the world.

She spoke with gary determina tion but her face had fallen again In a moment she began to draw on her gloves "Now I'll have to run if 1 in to dress and get over to Old Westbury for dinner at eight. Thank yon so much. Lee; you've te-. n a godsend If I were a writer m«t a ad of a mere dabbler in paints, f’d dedicate my first book to you.

And In a moment he had forgotten Anne Goodrich as completely as he had forgotten Janet Oglethorpe. XXVIII • He called for Madame Zattlany at ten o’clock. This time she was standing in the hall as the man opened the door, and she came out Immediately. A lace scarf almost concealed her face. "I didn’t order the car," she said. "It Is such a fine night, and she lives so near. Do you mind?” "I much prefer to walk, but your slippers ” “They are dark and the heels not too high." “I’m not going to make the slightest preliminary attempt at Indifference tonight, nor wait for one of your leads. How long do you Intend to stay at this party?" “Oh, an hour, possibly. One must not be rude.” Her own tones were not even, but he could not see her face. "But you’ll keep your word and tell me everything tonight?” She gave a deep sigh. "Yes, I’ll keep my word. No more now— please! . Tell me, what do they do at these parties besides talk —dance?" w I "Not always. They have char- 1 ades, spelling matches, pick a word out of a hat and make Impromptu speeches ’’ “But Mon dleu!” She stopped short and pushed back her scarf. Whatever expression she may have I wished to conceal there was noth ing now In her face but dismay. "But you did not tell me this or 1 should not have accepted. I never bore myself. I understood these were your intellectuals. Charades! Spelling matches; Words In the hat! It sounds like a small town moved to New York." "Well, a good many of them are from small towns and they rather pride themselves on preserving some ot the simplicities of rural life and Juvenescence. while lead Ing an -exaggerated mental life for which nature designed no man . ft is merely owing to an übsdLrfi warning to preserve the balanced Or an Innocent arrogance akin to Mrs Oglethorpe’s when she Is looking her dowdiest. . . . But Gora often has good music still. If you don't want to go on I'm sure I do not." "No." she said hurrl edly. "I shall go. But—-1 am still astonish ed. 1 do not know what I expect ed.

I understand there are golf links and tennis courts near the city." • "A good many of them do. But they like to relax still further at night. You see we are not Euro peans. Americans are as serious as children, but like children they also love to play. Remember, we •are a young nation— and a very healthy one. And you will have conversation If yon want it. The men, you may be sure, will be ready to give you anything you demand." "1 had rather hoped to listen. Is this the house?" Several taxis were arriving and there were many cars parked along the block. When they entered the house they were directed to dressing-rooms on the second floor and Clavering met Madame Zat tiany at the head of the staircase. She wore a gown of emerald green velvet, cut to reveal the sloping line oT her shoulders, and an emer ald comb thrust sideways in the Ipw coil of her soft ashen hair On the dazzling fafrnesq of her lay a single unset emerald depending from a fine gold chain Clavering stared at her helplessly. It w*as evident she had not made her toilette with an eye to softening a blow! ‘ (To Be Continued). STATE MAKES SURVEY SCHOOL POPULATION ■ Letters Asking Teachers To Fill Out Georgia School Census 1 Cards Sent to 16,000 ATLANTA, Dec. 6.—A concen trated campaign is being conducted by the State Department of Edu cation to obtain an accurate cen sus of children of school age in I Georgia, according to Superinten dent Ballard. The failowing letter has been sent by the superintendent to county superintendents of schools; "The most important request that I will make of you during the year is to superintend the distri bution of the school attendance cards khat you will receive shortly and constantly watch and see that they are properly filled out. You can readily understand how dif ficult it is to get accurate statis tics when 16,000 teachers are be ing used to make them out. There fore, I urge that you constantly overlock this work, at least month ly, and see that the cards are be ing made out correctly. 'lt is our intention to account for every child in Georgia between the ages of 6 and 18 years, wheth er in school or not .and try in cases cut of school to find out the cause. The summary of these cards that you will return to this office next June will be the basis of your report of attendance rot the year 1922. i LOCAL LIBRARY LAUDED FOR GOOD WORK DONE Mrs. W. C. Merritt, librarian for the Carnegie library here, has re turned to Americus from attending the library association which met in Macon three days of last week. Mrs. Merritt stated to a reporter today that the meeting was filled with inspiration infused into it by Miss Wheatcroft, supervisor of small libraries- in ; the state, who spoke to the librarian's of the splen did work accomplished in the small er town and rural districts through the medium of the calculation c-f books. Miss Wheatcroft especially com plimented the work of the Americus library, dwelling particularly on the work done in the schools of the county and in circulating reference books ainpng the students -of the rural institutions who have not free access to a library. The work of rural circulation will be enlarged for 1924, according to the librarian, who plans to bring before the rural student body the advantage of the Carnegie institu tion. MOVIE STRUCK GIRLS UNABLE TO BE STARS HOLLYWOOD, Cal. Dec. 6. (B Associated Press) —Scores of young girls, movie-struck, arrive here ev ery week, most of them with no recommendations beyond flattering notiebs in home-town papers, ac cording to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which has started a campaign to warn young persons throughout the country of the fu tility of finding screen jobs, un less they are qualified and have been encouraged to apply at the studios. The Chamber of Commerce esti mates the population of Hollywood at 85,000, of whom, it states les_ than 15,000 are engaged in the film industry. The girls who drop in from the ends of the earth all are willing - to become stars, but most-of them are unable to find even minor parts. With their funds exhausted, many of them turn out to be a prooiein for social and civic workers. The Chamber is endeavoring to spread broadcast information about how few the chances are for cine ma glory and how many are the trials and privations on the path tc such an ambition. | SEEK POSTAL REDUCTION FOR NEWS PUBLICATIONS WASHINGTON, Dec. 0.-t-Repre sentative Kelly, republican, Penn sylvania, introduced a bill Monday to reduce postal rates on newspa pers and periodicals. The measure would repeal the last two increases made under the war revenue law of 1917. Mr. Kelly said that "with practi cally no exception war taxes have been removed from all other indus tries” and that it was “highly dis criminatory to make publishers pay the presemt exorbitant postal rates which are unjust and unfair to both publishers and subscribers.” SMS RED PEPPER HEAT STOPS PAIN Il H MINUTES Rheumatism, lumbago, neuritis, back ache, stiff neck, sore muscles, strains, sprains, aching joints.

They have together produced a clean, clever, charming comedy and some bright melodious music that will make this an outstanding theatrical event wherever the play goes. It is a little J>lay that relaxes a tired brain, and refreshes a weary mind and that entertains from the be ginning to the final chorus. The company that presented it here has been well selected, and while there are no .great of wonderful voices, there are a number of very pleas ant ones., and of a far higher class than is usually heard in a road company. Ethel Clark and Eleanor Bennett as Minerva and Sue both sing some very charming numbers, both in solo and duet. John Hen drick’s fine voice was enjoyed in every number, and George Thorn' sang with fine effect in his solo. I “My Little Full Bloom Rose.” But the musical number that made the; hit of the evening was the male; quartette “Foolishment,” by Thorn, | Hendrick, Reilly and Elwood. They ; had to respond to about a dozen | encores. The humor of the show was I sparkling throughout, owing chiefly! to the cleverness of John Hen-1 dricks, and Jay Elwood. No bet ter juvenile comedian has ever been seen here than Jay Elwood, and we hope to see him return every sea son. The highest class feature to “Sue Dear” is the dancing, which | is exceptional throughout the en tire show. To begin with, the chorus 'dances well, and with the pep and spirit that a chorus must have to make any effpet. All of the girls dance well, and among the soloists, Adeline Foley did a very clever dance in the first act, and in the second, Ethel Clark, one qf the most beautiful little toe danc ers we have seen in many seasons, 1 delighted the audience in both her solo dances. But speaking of dancers—Leona Woolworth, as Zoe, could not possi bly be surpassed in the subrette line. She wal beautiful to lock at, and thoroughly fascinating. She and Jay Elwood make a wonderful combination. One of the cleverest things in the show was the parody on Chauve Souris,” that could only be fully appreciated by those who have seen the Russian sensation. Altogether, "Sue Dear” is a very delightful little play, and it is hoped that it may come on a return visit before the season is over. —E. A. B.

THOMAS COUNTY FARMERS PLAN TO GROW TOBACCO THOMASVILLE, Dec. 6.—A good acreage will be planted in to bacco in this county for the com ing season. From various sections reports come that farmers plan to ! go into the business. There plant ings will be more in the nature of an experiment in most cases. While it is known that the weed grows well in the soil of Thomas county, it needs a practical knowledge from experience to tell just what it will take to grow the crop het a and how much may be realized from it. Every farmer wishes to find out the value of the crop for himself before he goes into it on too large a scale. The banks of Thomasville are behind the move ment. Five Hundred and fifty thou sand square feet of fly and insect screen cloth will be needed in the United States next year, accord ing to estimates just made by the Conner and Brass Research Asso ciation.

I would like every nursing mother to try it and use it. If I can be of any further help I am billing to do so.” MRS. HARRIET JOHNSON. Whole Wheat Grain This potent food is the natural wheat berry (the only sin gle food known to man which contains in balanced combina tion all the sixteen elements required each day for normal nu trition) in its whole form just as it comes from Nature’s lab oratory with nothing added and nothing taken away, and is wheat in its supreme nutritional effect, becatlse it is the first wheat civilized man ever ate that has been cefoked ready to serve without oxidation, distillation, or evaporation effects, the method of cooking being protected by the United States and Canadian Governments. 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 food ever before pro duced, because the cooking has not demineralized nor oxidiz ed its mineral constituents. ! It is never sold through grocery stores but only through authorized distributor. It comes in hermetically sealed san itary 11-ounce tins (ample for four servings) and is sold in i packages of not less than one dozen (a 24-day supply because regular use is essential to results) delivered for $2.00.
