Ninth Installment WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE A young woman who knows only that her name is "Eve" finds herself standing on a Fifth Avenue corner. She has no idea how she came there or even what city it is. There is nothing about her with which to identify herself. While a policeman is talking to a young man, Eryn Hamilton stops. Seeing that she is in trouble he tells her he has seen her at the hotel where they are both stopping. He takes her to the hotel where they find that she had registered in French as "Miss Eve Nobody of Nowhere." Hamilton volunteers to call in his friend Dr. Carrington, a specialist in nervous troubles. Eve, terrified, eludes the doctor and through a French porter in the hotel, who says he once saw her in France but does not remember her name, she finds a cheap apartment in an obscure part of town. In the next apartment lives Ivy Davenport, a cabaret dancer with a weak heart. She is friendly, and persuades Eve to go to "Jake's." And take her place until she is better. Her job at Jake's is to entertain men at the tables and to dance with them. The other girls there are crude but kindly and Eve finds the work not difficult as she had expected. She is known there as Miss Berson. She meets a young gman named Hunt, who frankly tells her that she doesn't belong there. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY He asked the question with a twinkle, in tacit admission that he had no right to put it, and she smiled forgivingly. "I've told you, I'm substituting for another girl. She's sick." "All right," he said, accepting the rebuff. "We'll let it go at that. Shall we dance again?" When they returned to their table, Queenie rose. "The best of friends gotta part," she announced. "Hold on. What's the idea?" It was the grinning youth who spoke—Jackson, his name had proved to be Eve left her comfortable, and went back to her own quarters, tired but uplifted. She had put over what she had undertaken; she had made eight dollars; she had been offered a job; she had been able to keep her walking nightmare at bay and to feel almost normal. Best of all, there was now no endless night to face, for the night was over. It might be worth while to accept Jake's offer, if only to do away with those awful nights in the court bedroom. If she could kill another fortnight that way, and earn the money she so badly needed, Marcel would surely have his reply from Leon, and that reply might lead her out of the fog. She would think the matter over. However, she did no thinking then. She fell asleep at once she exhaustion, and her dreams, when she recalled them in the morning, had to do with large buildings and blaring music and crowds of whirling figures. Succeeding nights at Jake's seemed very much what the first one had been, with the difference that Eve had a fixed clientele as well as a floating one. The Canadian pair came regularly, and accepted without resentment her refusals of their invitations to luncheons and other diversions outside of the cabaret. Hunt and his friend Jackson also became what the girls called "reg'lars," though Eve suspected that neither young man could long stand the financial strain of such frequent visits, for Jake's, as Ivy had boasted, was no "cheap joint." Ivy was able to "get back on the job" on the fifth night and to go through her dances with amazing skill and pep. Her specialty was the "acro-batic waltz" Queenie had mentioned, and her performance was a revelation. "Where?" "In France." Queenie nodded. Livia counted for anything. "Can you talk French with sudden interest." "Yes." "Honest? Say! Jake that! Some Frenchmen last week, and none of them with 'em. An' only the you came—Say, I'll tell added excitedly. She told him, with all the discoverer, and Jake Eve. "Dolin' fine," he announced. "Thank you. I'm glad." "S'earyou' French." "I beg your pardon?" "Talksome French." "Now?" "Sure." "Do you speak French." "Nope. But I'll know." Eve laughed. It was Jake had heard her do it, ed to him. His remote slightly. "Tha'the stuff," he an'in good for business." more." Eve answered in Fre doubt this was true, he couldn't promise to keep indefinitely, though she best. Finding it necessary late this, she did so, and "How 'bout stayin' on!" "I haven't quite decide." "Can't trailserate but a guar'ntee's Morris." Thank you. I'll stay longer, anyway, unless expected happens." He asked the question with a twinkle, in tacit admission that he had no right to put it, and she smiled forgivingly. "I've told you. I'm substituting for another girl. She's sick." "All right," he said, accepting the rebuff. "We'll let it go at that. Shall we dance again?" When they returned to their table, Queenie rose. "The best of friends gotta part," she announced. "Hold on. What's the idea?" It was the grinning youth who spoke—Jackson, his name had proved to be—his grin "wiped from his face by the abrupt decision. Hunt looked equally serious, and Queenie regarded them with approving eyes. "The idea is that you two ain't the only boys in the place," she explained, "and Jake has give me the high sign to move on." "But see here—" Jackson protested. "Now Willie!" Miss Morris was almost maternally reproachful. "You don't want get my girl friend in bad with the boss the very first night she on the job do you?" "Of course not." Hunt rose and bowed formally, and Queenie led Eve away. Better get out while the gettin's good," she said, and added another helpful hint for the novice; "It's wise to leave guys before they want us to. That brings 'em back again." She took Eve to another table on the short list Jake had sent her. Two men of a different type sat there, but they responded to Queenie's initial advance as readily as the first pair had done. They were middle-aged Canadian cattle-men, out for a good time, and they had it with Queenie, while Eve took such mild share as she cound in the bantering dialogue and danced several times with each of them. Apparently this encounter was as successful as the first, for both men showed a flattering regret when it was over. Before that, moreover, they had unconsciously helped Eve through the little matter of the Eve decided that Ivy's "acrobatic waltz" explained Ivy's heart attacks, and she advised the dancer to drop some of its more taxing features, Ivy shook her head. Long's I do it, I'll do it right," she announced. Art came first with Ivy. Ivy's popularity in the "artists room" was second only to Queenie's and as the two girls stood together on all important issues Queenie's rule was strengthened by her chum's return. So was Eve's position. Miss Davenport had a grateful nature. Loyally and loudly she assured the world nothing was wrong with Berson. She demanded Queenie's continued interest in her protegee, and after a brief contest of wills she received it. The "head-hostess," it appeared, had a horror of being "high-hatted" by any one; and from fusals of their invitations to luncheons and other diversions outside of the cabaret. Hunt and his friend Jackson also became what the girls called "reg'lars," though Eve suspected that neither young man could long stand the financial strain of such frequent visits, for Jake's, as Ivy had boasted, was no "cheap joint." Ivy was able to "get back on the job" on the fifth night and to go through her dances with amazing skill and pep. Her specialty was the "acrobatic waltz" Queenie had mentioned, and her performance was a revelation to Eve, who humbly told herself that as a "substitoot" she had been a joke. Miss Davenport was a born dancer, which undoubtedly helped explain her employer's patience with her attacks. The only employee that compared with her at Jake's was a young Italian among the loose-ankle boys, whose version of the "Black Bottom" was the cabaret's best attraction. Queenie's high kicking was "good but not great," as Ivy expressed it. Maze, despite her beauty and her superb figure, did no sole-work at all, and was not above the average in the ordinary dancing. Eve answered in Freyd doubt this was true, she couldn't promise to keep indefinitely, though she best. Finding it necessary late this, she did so, and "How 'bout stayin' on?" I haven't quite decided. Can't trailserate but guur'ntee's Morris." Thank you. I'll stay longer, anyway, unless expected happens. 'Sallri.' The arrangement simply bookkeeping. Instead of nightly as a "substitoot," Jake's weekly pay-roll is five-dollar salary, which ed by the dance-cards she A week later, when Eve turned to their table after Charleston, Queenie hunts with an expression of hastened to explain.

Two men of a different type sat there, but they responded to Queenie's initial advance as readily as the first pair had done. They were middle-aged Canadian cattle-men, out for a good time, and they had it with Queenie, while Eve took such mild share as she cound in the bantering dialogue and danced several times with each of them. Apparently this encounter was as successful as the first, for both men showed a flattering regret when it was over. Before that, moreover, they had unconsciously helped Eve through the little matter of the first half of the special program. While this was in progress she remained with them, and Jake seemed content with the arrangement. The long night wore on. At the end of it Jake sent for Eve. "You're awr!," he impersonally announced when she again confronted him in his office. It was half-past three and his staff was perceptibly wilting. So were his remaining guests, but Jake himself showed no sign of the night's strain. His linen was as faultless and his hair as pastily flat as they had been at eleven. "Take-y-on-reg'lar," he added. "That's good of you," Eve said. More and more she liked what she had heard of "Jake." "But I won't take the work just now, thank you." "Why not?" "It really isn't in my line." "More-money? Nothin-doin'. Fixed-rate." "It isn't that," Eve hastened to explain. "The money side is quite all right." It was. She had earned eight dollars and some odd cents by her first night's work. "Then-what's-eatin'-yeh?" "I want to do something else." "What?" "I don't know yet!" "Awr!." Jake moved the remote eyes from her face as if this ended the matter, but when she walked to the door he asked a question: "How-'bout-Ivy?" Eve stopped and turned back. "Why...she'll be all right tomorrow night, won't she?" "Nope. Means-three-four-days-p'rans-more. Keep-'er-job-a-week—let'er rest. Might-fix-'er-up." There seemed nothing else to do. Eve agreed to the temporary job, and won the vast gratitude of Ivy, to whom she reported when she reached home at four o'clock. Art came first with Ivy. Ivy's popularity in the "artists room" was second only to Queenie's and as the two girls stood together on all important issues Queenie's rule was strengthened by her chum's return. So was Eve's position. Miss Davenport had a grateful nature. Loyally and loudly she assured the world nothing was wrong with Berson. She demanded Queenie's continued interest in her protegee, and after a brief contest of wills she received it. The "head-hostess," it appeared, had a horror of being "high-hatted" by any one; and from the first she had cherished a dark fear that the new-comer was "high-hattin'" and "up-stagin'" all Jake's artistes. Ivy was finally able to explain Eve's manner and dictation to Queenie's satisfaction. "She can't help it," she pointed out. "She ed-licated! My Gawd! what can a poor kid do when her folks put her in school an' has her learned all those things?" A little later Eve unconsciously helped her own cause. "Where you from, anyhow, Berson?" Queenie demanded one night, when the novice had been at Jake's a week. It was the first directly personal question that had been put to Eve, and Eve flushed under it. "I? Oh, I've lived abroad a good deal," she stammered. All Europe, Canada and complaining loudly of deprisonment as the Democratic mittee's publicity gets an entire thing will be blamed tra-territorial effects of law. It is said that most of too small and this is And to the boys inside difficult to build them so wouldn't be too small. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Body here JORDAN "Where?" "In France." Queenie nodded. Living abroad accounted for anything. "Can you talk French?" she asked with sudden interest. "Yes." "Honest? Say! Jake'll be glad of that! Some Frenchmen blew in here last week, and none of us could parley with 'em. An' only the night before you came—Say, I'll tell Jake," Queenie added excitedly. She told him, with all the pride of the discoverer, and Jake again sent for Eve. "Doin' fine," he announced. "Thank you. I'm glad of that." "Searyou' French." "I beg your pardon?" "Talksome French." "Now?" "Sure." "Do you speak French?" "Nope. But I'll know if you do." Eve laughed. It was the first time Jake had heard her do it, and it appealed to him. His remote look changed slightly. "Thesthe stuff!" he approved. "Smilin's good for business. Yought alaugh more." Eve answered in French that no doubt this was true, but that she couldn't promise to keep on smiling indefinitely, though she would do her best. Finding it necessary to translate this, she did so, and Jake nodded. "How bout stayin' on?" "I haven't quite decided yet." "Can't trailserate but give yuh same guar'nee's Morris." Thank you. I'll stay two weeks longer, anyway, unless something unexpected happens." Lagunan Backed For Auditor That the coastline should have representatives in the court house is the content made by those living along the shoreline and one which has met with a favorable hearing in other parts of the county, according to a prominent Placentia man. "I refer particularly to the campaign of William T. Lambert for county auditor," said the man, who asked that his name be not used because of his interest in other candidates. "Lambert is the only candidate that the coast has offered for a county position, though there are several for supervisorial positions. "The coast is growing rapidly; has a very large part of the assessed wealth of the county in its area, and a large number of the voters live there. Yet it has advanced only one candidate, 'Bill Lambert for auditor.'" Though the position of auditor is not one which ordinarily seizes public interest very keenly, a new note was injected last week into Lambert's campaign when Garden Grove friends published at their own expense a full page advertisement in the Garden Grove News, their names attached, of a challenge to Laguna Beach friends of Lambert to see which could pile up the most votes for him. Lambert was cashier and manager of the Garden Grove Citizens Bank and during several years that he lived in that community was active in all civic affairs. He made many friends and retained them, with the result that they are rallying to his aid in his campaign for auditor. Laguna Beach friends have accepted the challenge and the newspaperman is fairly well assured of a large vote in both of these communities. With interest along the coast crystallizing in having a coast man in the court house, and with the rest of the county apparently convinced that the coast should have its quota of officials, Mr. Lambert is acknowledged to have a strong chance to go into office. With only two candidates for the office of auditor, the contest is decided at the primary elec- Study by Mail Offered by U.C. "Correspondence Courses," a bulletin listing more than 200 courses of instruction available by correspondence through the University of California Extension Division, is now available for distribution, according to an announcement of Dr. George A. Smithson, chairman of the department of correspondence instruction. Correspondence instruction was first offered by the University of California In 1913, when about 450 persons undertook work in less than twenty courses, according to Dr. Smithson. Since that time courses and instructors have been added in response to an insistent demand. During the past year there were approximately 5000 enrollments in more than 225 courses; 56,949 lesson papers were corrected and critified; and almost 100 persons were engaged in the work of instruction. In speaking of the wide appeal and variety of the correspondence courses, Dr. Smithson says, "Most of the courses offer instruction and training equivalent to that of regular university classes. But there are also more elementary courses, so planned, in both subject matter and method of study, as to appeal to adults who need further preparation before undertaking work of university grade. In fact, through the wide range of University of California correspondence instruction, an opportunity for continuous development is given to nearly every adult person who will devote part of his spare time to reading and studying. The courses have been particularly valuable to graduates of colleges and universities who desired to continue their studies, to teachers and to persons who were fulfilling requirements for teachers' credentials, to business and professional men and women who wish to extend their knowledge within chosen fields or to broaden themselves by entering new fields of study, to housewives remote from educational centers who needed an intelligent stimulus, to university students who took advantage of courses not available in the residence curricula, and to workingmen who sought an understanding of their tasks or a way to a richer intellectual life." Eve answered in French that no doubt this was true, but that she couldn't promise to keep on smiling indefinitely, though she would do her best. Finding it necessary to translate this, she did so, and Jake nodded. "How 'bout stayin' on?" "I haven't quite decided yet." "Can't traiserate but give yuh same guar'nee's Morris." "Thank you. I'll stay two weeks longer, anyway, unless something unexpected happens." "S'allri." The arrangement simplified Eve's bookkeeping. Instead of being paid nightly as a "substitoot," she was on Jake's weekly pay-roll at a twenty-five-dollar salary, which was augmented by the dance-cards she turned in. A week later, when Eve and Hunt returned to their table after a midnight Charleston, Queenie hurried to them with an expression of urgency she hastened to explain. "Jake wants you to go an' meet that guy over in the corner," she said eagerly. "I forget his name, but he's O. K. He's from the West, and he's been watchin' you ever since he come in. He jest told Jake he wanted to talk to you. Interduce yourself. I'm lookin' after a big dinner-party." "Miss Berson is busy here," Hunt began. Hunt's air of late had become slightly proprietary. Miss Morris re-buked him with a friendly shake of her head. "Get-wise, get wise," she advised. This has happened before an' it'll happen again. Orders is orders is orders, an' she's workin' for Jake. You had your turn. P'raps you'll get another later on," she kindly added. Hunt's jaw set. For a moment he seemed about to dispute the ruling. Then his good sense asserted itself and he rose with a shrug. "All right," he agreed. "I'll take you over." "That'll make a big hit with the new guy." Queenie murmured ironically. But Eve understood everything Hunt did and said, the impluse that always made him escort her through the dancing crowds to any table where she was expected. She walked by his side with unwilling steps. She never knew what these encounters might bring, and each time she thus approached a stranger every instinct in her protested against what she was doing. She constantly reminded herself that she was there to talk to and to dance with lonely men, to help them to have a pleasant evening, and that the matter ended with the talk and the dance, and that the money she was earning was necessary to her. If Jake's was the sort of place young girls of good families could visit, as many such girls plainly considered it, it was surely safe for her. Also, she was plainly of use here, in ways she was not paid for. The girls trusted her and asked her advice. Even Matsle had them, with the result that they are rallying to his aid in his campaign for auditor. Laguna Beach friends have accepted the challenge and the newspaperman is fairly well assured of a large vote in both of these communities. With interest along the coast crystallizing in having a coast man in the court house, and with the rest of the county apparently convinced that the coast should have its quota of officials, Mr. Lambert is acknowledged to have a strong chance to go into office. With only two candidates for the office of auditor, the contest is decided at the primary election August 26—Satan Ana Times. Kendrick, Morris Pack to Gem Lake E. C. Kendrick and Dave Morris, local merchants, and two men from Long Beach were scheduled to leave this Friday morning on a motor trop to June Lake, from where they will pack back to Gem Lake for a ten-day's fishing trip. Last year the group went to the same location late in July and found plenty of ice and snow about the lakes. They expect to encounter ice and snow at this time of the year, but not to the extent that they did last season. Plenty of fishing, with rainbow trout the specialty, is reported in the High Sierra, particularly back off the beaten paths. If Gem Lake doesn't prove as good as expected the party will move on to nearby streams and lakes until a satisfactory fishing grounds is found. Egg Contest Close The standing of the various entries at the Egg-Laying Contest at Pomona at the end of the ninth month is close. The E. C. Hogsett entry of Pomona is leading with 2053 eggs, representing the production of ten hens for nine months. The closest contestant is Geo. C. England's entry of Inglewood with 1954 eggs for the same period. The other 23 contestants follow in close order. The high pens for the month were Harry N. Boyle, Escondido, first with 244 eggs, and the Hogsett Poultry ranch second with 239 eggs. High hens for the month were first, Fontana Farms Company, Fontana, No. 516 hen, laying 30 eggs in the month. Second, M. F. Donahue, Ramona, hen No. 662 laying 29 eggs. The high hen for date is No. 516 owned by Fontana Farm Company with 240 eggs to her credit. Her closest competitor is No. 651, owned by Geo. C. England with 229 eggs. There was an average consumption of 3.2 pounds of mash and 2.9 pounds of grain with 1.2 pounds of greens and .67 pounds of silk. All hens in the contest averaged 19 eggs for the month.

Look Out For Your Teeth If you are getting wrinkles around your jaw and mouth, look out for your teeth! This is the recommendation of Dr. F. H. Orton of the University of California College of Dentistry, who says that teeth are an important unit in the physical structure of the face. "Merely filling cavities and putting caps on them will not maintain the structural efficiency of teeth," says Dr. Orton. "Wilen insufficient attention is paid to this role of teeth, sagging of muscles and wrinkling of the face may take place."
