let Society take possession of you again?’"

did to look into the future with its
menace to those high duties of her
former dedication clear, sharp,
ruthless children of her brain—not
only enhanced both her beauty and
magnetism, but enabled her to en
dure this social ordeal she had
dreaded, without ennui. She was
too happy to be bored. She even
plunged into it with youthful rel
ish. For the first time in her life
she, was at peace with herself. She
was not at peace when Clavering
made love to her, far from it: but
she enjoyed with all the zest of a
woman with her first lover, and
something of the timidity, this tan
talizing preliminary to fruition.

with..its happiness and its excite

Moreover, she was having one
novel experience that afforded her
much diversion. The newspapers
were full of her. It took exactly
five days after Mrs. Oglethorpe's
luncheon for the story she had
told there to filter down to Park
Row, and although she would not
consent to be interviewed, there
were* double-page stories in the
Sunday issues, embellished with
snapshots and a photograph of the

.Clavering asked her one flay when
■the sensation was about a month
old and was beginning to expire
journalistically for want of fresh
fuel. • (Not a woman in New York
could be induced to admit that she
was taking the treatment.) • “You
are the most famous woman in
America and the pioneer of a revo
lution that may have lasting and
momentous consequences on which
we can only speculate vaguely to
i day. I don't believe yo.i are as un
moved as you look. It’s not in wo
‘man’s nature —in human nature.
Publicity goes to the head and
then descends to the marrow of
the bones.” ,
“I'm not unmoved. I've .been
tremendously interested and ex
cited. I find that newspaper noto
riety is the author of a distinctly
new sensation.” And then she felt
a disposition to play with fire-
Clavering was in one of his rare
cietached mobds, and had evidently
come for an hour of agreeable cbm
panionship. “I am beginning to
get a little bored and tired. If it
• were not for this Vienna Fund—
bnd to the newspapers for their
assistance X am eternally grateful
—I believe I’d suggest that we
leave for Austria tomorrow.”
“And I wouldn’t go.” Clavering
stood on the hearthrug smiling
i down at her with humoroufe defi
ance. “You switched me on to
that play, and there I stick until it
is finished. No chance for it in a
honeymoon, and no chance for un
diluted happiness with that crash
ing round inside my head.”
She shrank and turned cold, but
recovered herself sharply and dis
missed the pang. It was her first
experience, in her * exhaustive
knowledge of men, of the writing
temperament; and after all it was
part of the novelty of the man who
had obliterated every other from
her mind. Nor haa she any inten-
tion of letting him see that he
could hurt her. She smiled sweet
ly and asked:
*‘How is it coming on? Are you
satisfied with it?"
“Yes, I am. And so is Gora
Dwight. ®l’ve finished two acts and
I read them to night."
"Ah? Your Egeria?”
“Not a bit of it*. But sjie’s a wise
cold-blooded critic. You can't
blame me for not even talking
about it to you. I see so little of
you that I've no intention of wast
ing any of the precious time.” •
"But you might let me read it.”
*l'd rather wait until it’s fin
ished and as polished and perfect
as I can make it. I always want
you to know me at my best.”
"Oh, my dear! You forget that
we are to be made oner and remain
twain. Do you really believe that
we shall either of us always be at
our best?”
"Well, to tell you the truth, f
don’t care a hang whether we are
or not. I'll have you, and all to
myself. And I won’t say ‘for a
while, at least.’ Do you Imagine
that when we return to Nejv York
I'm going to let Society fake pos
session of you again? Not only
shall I work harder than I’ve ever
worked before, but I*d see little
more of you than I do now. And
that I’ll never submit to again. I’ll
write my next play inside this
house, and you’ll be here when I
want you T not gadding about.”
She felt a sudden pang of dis
may, apprehension. New York?

Southern Cities Help Blacks to
Return Home From North*
era Industrial Centers
ATLANTA, Dec. 27.—liany ne
groes who left the South hoping
to find conditions in the North
more satisfactory, are returning to
their former southern homes, thor
oughly disillusioned, according to
statements made here today by
railway passenger agents. The ne
groes say fliey are ''eager to get
back after an experience of some
months in the cities of the North,
where not only did they rind them
selves in unfriendly surroundings,
but where they faced privations
and want instead of high wages
and prosperity that were promised
The negroes who are returning
are being’* encouraged, even help
ed to do so, by several Southern
cities, a movement in Memphis,
Tenn-, it was stated here today, re
sulting last week in bringing 27-1
negro families in one group back
to that part ot the South from
Northern industiral centers. The
negroes returning to the Mefnphis
•district filled a large special train
that had been provided for them,
and other trains, railway men here
statg, will bripg many more form
er Memphis and Mississippi ne
groes back to the South.
The Memphis movement is similar
to other movements inaugurated in
several Southern states, Atlanta
railroad men say, to get the negroes
out of the North, where, it is point
ed out, they must certainly suffer
great hardships and privations this
winter.
The. movement naturally, it is
shown here, must have a two-fold
purpose. The negroes are eager to
get back and welcome the aid giv
en them to do so, and the South
needs the labor of the negroes and
pitioes them in their plight. In’ ad
dition, Atlanta philanthropists and
other assert, the white people of
the South realize that negroes must
either be helped to get back or
must suffer great discomfort and
perhaps starvation. It really is a
humanitarian movement in behalf
of the negroes.

STATE COLLEGE KILL
PROMOTE LIVE STOCK
Conference to Be Held At Ath

Heinnemann
ATHENS, Dec. 27.—That the
“Farmers Week” conference at the
State College of Agriculture here
January 21-26 has in mind promo
tion of the livestock industry in this
state is seen in the fact that C. B.
Heinnemann, general manager of
the Atlanta Union Stock Yard /is
on the program for am address.
Mr. Heinnemann will speak on “A
Stabilized Livestock Market for the
South.” The Atlanta Union Stock
Yards were recently purchased by
Asa G. Candler, Jr., associated
with Mr. White of the White Pro
duce company in Atlanta and it is
the purpose of these men to pro
mote live stock production bj r furn
ishing a ready market.
Another important feature of the
conference will be the outlining of
a farm program for South and
North Georgia for 1924 by E. C.
Westbrook and Der Hungerford,
farm management experts at the
state college.
MAE MURRAY HAS
’ GLITTERING PICTURE
IN “FASHION ROW”
Mightier than Mhe Murray's past
successes, more superbly lavish, and
presenting the star in an unusual
dual role that gives a wide range of
opportunity for her talents , is
‘Fashion Row” the attraction at the
Rylander Theatre today and Friday.
“Fashion Row” exhits the magnetic
Murray charms, the Murray danc
ing, the bewildering Murray
clothes.
Mips Murray is declared to wear
$150,000 worth of gowns alone in
the picture, glittering garments
adorned, many of them, with costly
jewels. The settings are luxurious
beyond words, and such scenes as
the Russian masked ball are the last
word in spectacular splendor.
Imagine Mae Murray playing two
sisters—one the toast of Broadway,
famous, loved by men, and the oth
er a plain little Russian immigrant
girl. As Olga Tarinova, the actress
she marries happily into Knicker
bocker aristocracy—and then out
of her past comes a man • with a
scar and a vengeance unfilled.

Devil’s Ghost,” starring Lester Cu
neo, which opens at Opera House
today.
This stirring drama is a relief
from the usual Westerns. The lo
cale is the new Southwest of today,
with its Mexicans- and colorful set
tings. The tip-ills and amusement
are furnished by a courageous New
Yojk sportsman, played by Mr. Cu
neo, who dons th e clothes and poses
as a bandit whorh he resembles and
whom Mexicans have killed. The
supersititious Mexicans believe they
see the Devil’s ghost, and Cuneo
has som e fun, until he runs up
against a buccaneer who isn’t super
stitious. and proceeds to puncture
the “ghost’’ with ibullets. Mr. Cu
neo makes two startling escapes—
one through daring wits and anoth
er through clever wits that would
do justice to Sherlock Holmes. Mr.
Cuneo has surrounded himself by a
very capable cast and the story,
written and directed by Henry Mc-
Carty, is refreshing in its originali
ty and swiftness of action.
