“I’d even sleep in the studio,

reconciled* but, after .ail, 1 am

Gora and Suzan! I’ve never liked

“Why the exception?”

Her tone was lightly impersonal,
and still more so as she added:'
“Why don’t you write a novel
about her, Lee? She must be the
most remarkable psychological
study of the age. Fancy living two
lifetimes in the same body. It puts
reincarnation to the blush. I sup

Clawing shot her a sharp inves
tigating glance, but replied suave
ly: ‘Not necessarily. The same
road is open to all of you.”
Miss Goodrich bad never looked
more the'fins and dignified repre
sentative of her class as she lifted
her candid eyes with an expression
cf disdain.
“My dear Lee! Really! There
are some women above that sort oi
thing.”
"Above? I think I follow
you. But of course she's given
hidebound conservatism a pretty
hard jolt.”
"It’s not that— really. But all
women growing old and trying to

standards at least, and I have been
brought up in the belief that they

“I haven’t seen Anne blush like

“I was Just telling her how- beau
tiful slid looked tonight." And an
gry as he was, it amused him to
hear Anne’s little gasp of pleasure.
“Yes, doesn’t she?" Miss Law
rence blew a ring and smiled
sweetly. ‘T’ve.always been jealous
of Anne. She’s such a beautiful
height I’m so glad the giraffes of
the last generation seem to have
died out. Too bad, when Madame
Zattiany, rejuvenated herself, she
didn’t slice off a few inches. She
dwarfs'even -men of your height,
although, o£ course, you are really
taller. But then tall women ’’
She shrugged her shoulders, her
crisp voice softened and she went
on as if thinking aloud. “Do you
know ... to me she does not
look young at all. 1 have a fancy
she’s hypnotized every one but
myself. I seem to see an old wo
man with a colossal will. . . ,
But Fd like to know the name of
that whitewash she uses. It may
come in handy some day. Not for
another ten years, though. Oh,
Lee 1 ! it's good to be really young
and not have to be flattened out on
a table under broiling X-Rays and
have your poor old feminine de
partment cranked up. ... 1
wonder just how adventurous men
are ?”
But Clavering, although seething,
merely smiled. He knew himself
to be like the man who has had a
virulent attack of smallpox and is
'immune for the rest of bis life.'
Nevertheless, he would cheerfully
have twisted her peck. She was
holding that slim lily like throat
up for his inspection, a cigarette
between her thin ’‘starlet lips as
she looked at him over her shoul
der. At sixteen she could not have
been more outwardly unblemished,
and she emanated a heady essence.
Her long green eyes met his keen
satiric ones with melting languor.
But she said unexpectedly:
“I hear she's going to marry Mr.
Osborne,’ mother’s old beau —or is
that Mr. Dinwiddle? How can one
straighten out those old-timers?
But ft would be quite appropriate,
it she must'marry— and 1 suppose
she’s dying to; but I notice she
hasn't asked either of them to
night. I Suppose it makes her feel
younger-to surround herself with
young people. It certainly makes
me feel frightfully young 1
mean she does.”
"Do you think it good manners
to discuss ybui hostess at her own
table?”
"Oh, manners! You’ll always be
a Southerner, Lee. New York has
always prided Itself on its bad
manners. That is the real source
of our strength.”
"Pretty poor prop. It seems to
me a sign of congenital weakness.”
"Oh, we never defend ourselves.
By the way, I hear Jim Oglethorpe
rushed poor little Janet off to
Egypt because he found her In
your rooms and you refused to_
marry her. You’re not such a gal-**
lant Southerner, after all ”
"What a lie! Who on earth
started such a yarn?” But he
turned cold, and his hand shook a
little as he raised hi? wine glass.
“It’s Ml over town, and people
think you really ought to marry
her. Os course those ridiculous
little flappers don’t care whether
they are talked about or not, but
their families do. I hear that old
Mrs. Oglethorpe 1b quite ill over
the scandal, and she always swore
by you.”
"Mrs. Oglethorpe, I happen to
know, as I dined there last night;
wap never better and is delighted
with the idea that ,Jim has taken
Janet abroad to get her away from
that rotten crowd."
She looked nonplussed, but re
turned to the charge. “How sto
ries, do get about! They even say
that he horsewhipped you "
“Pray don’t overtax your powers
of invention.* You know there’s no
suflh story going about or every
body here would have cut me dead.
Try another tack.”

Government experiments have proved t S \
that the ordinary under-draft stove wastes g,l L W
about 60 per cent of the heat value of the V// 1
fuel, in soot, smoke and gases, which escape
up the chimney. w
And it has been proved in thousands of
homes that Cole’s Hot Blast Heater, by stop
ping this fuel waste, saves one-third to one
half in fuel
Cole’s Original
Hot Blast Heaters
Cole’s Hot Blast burns your fuel twice. First it
burns the soot, gases and smoke, by mixing them with
superheated air and driving them back upon the fire,
where they are completely consumed. Then it burns
bed of clean coke which is left after the fuel gases
have been extracted.
There are other important advantages which mean
much to every woman. Cole’s Hot Blast Heater means
a cleaner home, because there is no spilling of coal and '
ashes on the carpet. You pour the coal in at the top
of the stove instead of throwing it in at the side. And
, the ashes are removed without spilling. Only one-half
the ashes to remove.
You can sleep later every morning, toe, because this
heater holds fire all night and there is no fire to build
in the morning. Just open the draft. This stove will
actually hold fire from Saturday night to Monday
morning. ’ - ’
This stove burns any fuel—hard or soft coal, coke
or wood—with the same saving, and the most steady,
even heat you ever saw.
Come in and see our special demonstrations and
displays of Cole’s Hot Blast Heaters this week. It will

GEORGIA REALTORS TO
ADVERTISE HEAVILV
Extensive Campaign to Be
Launched to Develoo Georgia
Farm Lands
ATLANTA, Dec. 29.—At a re
cent meeting of the Georgia Real
estate association held here, mfip
bers from all over the state pledged
themselves to carry out the devel
opment of farm land and to engage
in an intensive campaign to adver
tise Georgia farm lands to the en
tire country.
It was the unanimous opinion of
those attending the meeting that
the present is the opportune time
for investment in farm lands and
especially in Georgia. Plans were
laid to advertise this belief to the
farmer and city dweller, alike, all
throughout America.
A plan of publicity will be -work
ed out immediately. Railroads, civic
orgaijizations, chambers of com
merce, and other organizations
throughout the state will be called
upon to co-operate with the rea’
estate men in, Georgia in presenting
the opportunities in Georgia farm
lands to the outside world.
A special committee is to be ap
pointed to investigate and study the
settlement policies of such states
