Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Services An Acquaintance Blooms Into Friendship "The reason I can not understand why so many girls in your country and this are cutting short their tresses is because in Russia a woman's hair is woven into our poetry, folk lore and song," the young Cossack continued speaking, "we have grown to consider it a sacred symbol, and in many instances the way a girl wears her hair has a special significance. For instance, unmarried Ukranian lassies wear their hair loose in a long, single braid ornamented with ribbons and sometimes covered with There came a gentle tap-tap-tapping at my door.

You've stranger to me, although you only a very short time not being too sentimentalized, "but I believe flowers, if one truly deserves we go along." She blushed most self-conscious beckon revelation of her affection. "I feel the same way as I agreed," and I'm so flat like me. You, who have mirrors and hundreds of eyes. "Not friends, acquainted Until I met you, Sallie, real, true friend, to whom burden my heart." "Why do you like me? 'there're others, great ones seek you out and work shrine. You're a wonderer.' I—well, I'm just little old She laughed outright. "But 'little old me' just have that beautiful gift of ling and of being interested people and of course, the key to friendship. With am always conscious of misunderstanding and 'Really?'" "Yes, I realize," she cooed so many of my so-called around me because I've enough to acquire in a subtle thing that the world Were I a nonentity, and how far would these same This business of worship have gratified their own forged ahead is not fair—the arts," she added, "go of satisfaction out of thrill that more than cohesive struggle and sacrifice."

This braid, or kosa, is a maiden's chief ornament, the cherished object of her care. Its unbraiding is the sign of the change which is coming upon her." "And what of the married ones?" I inquired, eagerly interested in what he had said. "Oh, they wear theirs in two braids wound round the head and covered with a kerchief." "What enchanting sentiment!" averred Barrington Pierce. "Yes, it's all right, but personally my only objection to bobbed hair is that when I go into a barber shop I can never get a chair!" The Cossack smiled. "What do you think about it?" he turned to Barry, who was at my side. "I'm afraid I'll never get used to it, though I'm quite sure there isn't a long-haired girl left in Paris. To find one would equal the search for the proverbial needle in the hay stack. My ideals, of course, are the lovely leading ladies of opera, and I can never imagine Marguerite, for instance, with a boyish bob." "Or Aida with a shaved neck!" concluded Curtiss. We all laughed. "Some of the opposing forces declare that the Bible forbids bobbing," declared Lemoyne Danielle. "Really? That's interesting. Do you know where?" asked Andre Moliere. "Yes, I do, although my knowledge of the Book of Books is scant. It's the fifteenth verse of the eleventh chapter of First Corinthians—it reads: 'But if a woman have long hair it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering.'" "Bravo! You did that with quite an air," Curtiss announced. "I have an argument for those who bob," put in Andre Moliere. I understand that a well-known scientist is contending that in the next generation we will all be hairless. One German thinker came out the other day in a concise article on the subject, claiming that we lose, as we progress, more and more hair! Of course it's based on evolution, because he mentioned the fact that each stage of development, beginning with the monkey, produces less and less hair." "Yes, I do, although my knowledge of the Book of Scant. It's the fifteenth verse of the eleventh chapter of First Corinthians—it reads: 'But if a woman have long hair it is a glory to her, for her hair is given her for a covering.'" "Bravo! You did that with quite an air," Curtiss announced. "I have an argument for those who bob," put in Andre Moliere. I understand that a well-known scientist is contending that in the next generation we will all be hairless. One German thinker came out the other day in a concise article on the subject, claiming that we lose, as we progress, more and more hair! Of course it's based on evolution, because he mentioned the fact that each stage of development, beginning with the monkey, produces less and less hair." "By jove, bald heads do give the effect of intelligence," exclaimed Curtiss. "And now that we are confronted with the facts in the case, there isn't anything specially intellectual about a man with a shock of hair," he teasingly threw in Barry's direction, because, like most musicians, wore his not extremely, but moderately long. While the others were laughing at Curtiss, Lemoyne leaning slightly across me, said to Barry, who was at my right. "I didn't know how you felt about bobbing. I've often longed to cut mine, but now, thank goodness, I did not." It was a small thing in itself, but her desire to please Barrington Pierce was plainly evident even in the most trivial affairs. It was almost daybreak when we said goodbye. While the Cossack was busy Curtiss had adroitly paid the check. We exchanged cards and addresses and I had the psychic feeling that it was not the last time that our paths would cross. The next afternoon there came a gentle tap-tap-tapping at my door. In response to my invitation to enter, the door opened quickly and in walked Lemoyne. "O, mon enfant!" she began, speaking French, as she invariably did under emotional stress. "word has just come from my manager that I am to sing 'Manon' at the Opera Comique. It is my favorite role and the first time I've had the opportunity to do the part." "How perfectly corking!" I interrupted, now wide awake and catching the enthusiasm of Lemoyne, who was informally ensconced on the chalse-longue. "When? Oh, I hope while we are here." "That's one reason I'm so happy about it all. Today is Monday, tomorrow's Tuesday and then—Wednesday is the night of nights—at least for Lemoyne. I've phoned Barry, and you three will be in a box. I'll do it much better if he is there," she added aloud, though I was sure she meant to frame the sentence only in thought. "Today, tonight and tomorrow I'll be shut up with my teacher in order to rehearse. Of course, it's my repertoire—all opera singers know the famous roles," she answered the question I was about to ask. "I hope I didn't wake you, but I wanted so for you to know. I might as well tell you that you've won your way straight into my heart. It's intangible—this thing called friendship," she announced wistfully, "and not often in a lifetime does one have more than one real friend. Thetheosophists would say that in a former life you and I were attracted or closely connected." in some way and held by an eternal bond—and perhaps that's the most intelligent explanation for mutual attraction after all. You've never been a stranger to me, although I've known you only a very short time. I hope I'm not being too sentimental," she apologized, "but I believe in presenting flowers, if one truly deserves them, as we go along." She blushed slightly, almost self-conscious because of her frank revelation of her affection for me. "I feel the same way about you too," I agreed, "and I'm so flattered that you like me. You, who have so many admirers and hundreds of friends—" "Not friends, acquaintances, my dear. Until I met you, Sallie, I never had a real, true friend, to whom I could unburden my heart." "Why do you like me?" I asked, "there're others, great celebrities who seek you out and worship at your shrine. You're a wonderful singer and I—well, I'm just little old me." She laughed outright. "But 'little old me' just happens to have that beautiful gift of understanding and of being interested in other people and of course, that is the real key to friendship. With the others I am always conscious of a great gulf of misunderstanding and doubt." "Really?" "Yes, I realize," she continued, "that so many of my so-called friends flock around me because I've been fortunate enough to acquire in a measure that subtle thing that the world calls fame. Were I a nonentity, and still myself, how far would these same friends go? This business of worshipping those who have gratified their own ambition and forged ahead is not fair. Followers of the arts," she added, "get a full sense of satisfaction out of their work—a thrill that more than compensates for the struggle and sacrifices they usually flections. I'll leave you toow so that you may dress. Your very nice husband is patiently waiting downstairs for you to join him on a personally conducted tour of the Louvre." "We'll walk over. It's a glorious day. Tell Curtiss, please, that I'll be right down," I called to her as she stood in the doorway. The door closed. I felt that I had peeped into the innermost recesses of an extraordinary woman's heart. (To Be Continued Next Week.) SEEKING AN ISSUE Diogenes with his lantern had nothing on the Democratic national leaders now seeking for an issue with which to alarm and win the citizens to the justice of their cause. Daily lodges of sorrow are being held in Democrite circles throughout the country, sessions made all the more saddening because of the persistent stubbornness of the people as a whole in continuing to applaud an administration which reduces expenses and taxes and still increases general efficiency. The Democrats believed they had a heart-throbbing issue in the bread trust, but even as they got ready to spring it, the administration filed suit against the trust and disclosed that for six months the officers of the government had been watching it. Senator Walsh started an aluminum trust investigation, but the Republicans instead of running to cover came out to say the sooner the better, provided the Democrats would agree to accept the responsibility to the taxpayers for the waste of money. A remark of the presidential spokesman at the White House, that it was to be feared speeches now and then made in Congress were uttered for political rather than governmental reasons, was broadcasted by the Democrats as evidence of the attempt on the part of the Executive to overweave the legislative branch of the government and thus nullify the constitution. It was felt this was to be a humdinger issue. But the people of the country instead of rising in indignation, burst forth editorially and in public statements to say SILK CULTURE TO BE BIG INDUSTRY Believed to presage the coming of a new and important industry to that section of Southern California lying between Orange county and San Diego is the announcement from Escondido to the effect that 160,000 mulberry trees will be shipped to that point this week from the nursery in Marsville. In announcing the plans for the shipment of the trees, Glenn D. Hurst, industrial engineer of the San Diego Silk corporation, said that the leaves would be used for the culture of silk worms. Hurst reported that the silk project was going forward rapidly with keen interest manifested by large interests over the entire state. The successful cultivation of mulberry trees and the feeding of the silk worms is looked upon by many, according to the San Diego Dispatch, as meaning the launching of a new major industry for the entire southern half of California, with infinite possibilities for development. State School Lands Offered for Sale The vacant state school lands in San Diego county, totaling approximately 13,200 acres, will be offered for sale by W. S. Kingsbury, surveyor general, at public auction at the court hour in San Diego, Wednesday March 31, 1926.

CONKEY, Attorney for A so many of my so-called friends flock around me because I've been fortunate enough to acquire in a measure that subtle thing that the world calls fame.

Followers of the arts," she added, "get a full sense of satisfaction out of their work—a thrill that more than compensates for the struggle and sacrifices they usually have made to attain success and, with it come the plaudits of the world. If I were not a singer but a manikin in some obscure shop, I would not be admired for myself or my personality or my own individual attaintments; no, I would be lost with those half-million other girls in Paris who are much more deserving because their work itself is without color or joy." "I think you're wrong, Lemoyne," I said, "people would still seek you out for your charm." "You haven't lived in the greater meaning of the word, mon infant, nor have you perceived the husks on which most friendships are fed. Fame is the most over-rated thing in the world," she continued, her eyes holding a grave and pensive light, "it is the 'open sesame' to anything that its possessor might wish to obtain. It clothes one with popularity, golden opinions, and endless praise. It even gives one the freedom of unconventionality (with no risk of being anathematized) even to the point of immorality, at the same time the assurance that any aberration will be condoned on the ground of temperament—temperament," she repeated, "that clever piece of propaganda put out by artists themselves as an excuse for their non-conformity to rules to which others are inexorably bound." "You shouldn't be cynical, Lemoyne." I remonstrated, "you're too lovely and young." "It's not cynicism, mamlie, but rebellion at the injustice of things as they are. Not for myself, but for others who have not had the good fortune to attract the attention of the fleet-footed nymph that the world has labelled renown.

A remark of the presidential spokesman at the White House, that it was to be feared speeches now and then made in Congress were uttered for political rather than governmental reasons, was broadcasted by the Democrats as evidence of the attempt on the part of the Executive to overweave the legislative branch of the government and thus nullify the constitution. It was felt this was to be a humdinger issue. But the people of the country instead of rising in indignation, burst forth editorially and in public statements to say they hoped the presidential spokesman would continue along this line, and the oftener he uttered this sentiment the better. JUST A FRIEND The administration is willing to stand as a friend of business, big and little, but does not intend to be considered as an ally. This has been made distinctly clear during the past week through the action of Attorney-General Sargent in filling in the United States district court at Baltimore a "suit to prevent and restrain the formation of a huge combination in the baking industry. The suit was brought under the Sherman antitrust act and the Clayton act. The filing of the suit followed the announcement of the formation of the $2,000,000,-000 Ward Food Products corporation under the laws of Maryland just a week ago." For some months the department of justice has been following the developments in the baking and related industries and has given special attention to the several mergers that have taken place therein. The government asks that the defendants be adjudged to have violated both the Sherman and the Clayton acts; that the defendants be enjoined from doing any act in furtherance of the alleged combination. The New York Times, in commenting says, "One of the results of this action has been to bring an immediate halt to plans being made in banking circles for additional and far-reaching mergers of enormous proportion. It is rather understood that the administration's attitude is that consolidations and mergers which originate in the management offices of various corporations, and which make for economy in operation and reduced cost to the consumers are worthy of consideration but they all must be reviewed carefully. That is the position which the attorney-general has taken, one in which he will be upheld by the people at large." Spring is approaching. It won't be long now until the baseball season and the war in Morocco will be on again. LET YOUR ADVERT THE carpenter does stone mason has la The tiler does not lay has put in his pipes.

G. Presson, county health officer. The statement of Dr. Presson is in response to inquiries regarding the smallpox situation in Los Angeles, many smallpox situation in Los Angeles, many His statement follows: "The Orange county health department has had many inquiries regarding the smallpox situation in Los Angeles. It has been known that smallpox has existed in Los Angeles for some time, but during the past six weeks, it has had an increase. The state board of health has informed the Orange county health department that this disease is increasing rapidly in Los Angeles and a good many deaths have resulted. In fact, the percentage of deaths for the month of January was about 10 per cent, and for the month of February, to date, is about 11 per cent. About 50 per cent of the cases occurring have been of the malignant hemorrhagic or black type." "The state board of health advises that all persons living in or near Los Angeles protect themselves against this disease by vaccination. This department highly indores this statement and urges the citizens of Orange county to consult their family physicians as soon as possible about having themselves immunized. At the present time, Orange county has only six cases of smallpox and they are not of the black type, but our proximity to Los Angeles makes us feel that eventually the disease is very liable to come into Orange county, and it is our earnest request that the citizens of this county protect themselves against this threatened invasion."
