(NEA Service Writer) | Washington, May 3.—It may or) may not be more or less significant of | something or other that both the} ¢ Anti-Saloon League and the Associa- tion Agaist the Prohibition Amend- | ment have considerably expanded their offices here within the last year. ‘The association 1h: recently.

Senator Howell of Nebraska presents figures which in- dicate the opposite. It appears that the American man- ufacturer receives from one-fourth to one-third more for his products than the European manufacturer—in their respective home markets—thanks to the tariff and that the American farmer gets from one-fourth to one- third less for his grain at home than the European peasant gets for his in his own country. x * * At least one foreign ambassador here is very anxious lest any of his attaches get in wrong with the pro- hibition enforcers. He rations wines and liquors to them in proportion to their salaries and is careful to per- mit no subordinate to take more bot- tles than he can reasonably afford. There is very little, if any, bootlegging from embassies and legations these days, but the ambassador is taking no chances. And like other diplo- mats here, he is extremely careful now about making presents to his friends. During the next few days—betw Sunday and Thanksgiving Thur —it became obvious to Crystal ‘Tony was as changed as she herself was. Agreat deal of the old ¢ carelessness and debonair nonch ance which had been one of Tony's chief charms was gone. possibly never to return. The truth was, Crystal told herself, that Tony Tarver was growing up. And to her adoring chum, the pathetic part of it was that ‘Tony was deliberately forcing her own maturity, so that it might be a much-needed prop in the new life which she was facing. unwillingly, but courageously, as Dick Talbot's wife. Crystal, who had so recently gone through the pangs of a spiritual re- birth, tried to be helpful by being unobtrusive, but she could not re-; Press an occasional pang of jealousy when she observed the growing inti- macy between Tony and Rhoda Jon- son. “I didn’t invite you out here to be- come Rhoda's assistant cook, Tony,” Cherry complained at luncheon on Tuesday. “We really can afford a hired cook in the kitchen, but Rhoda fired cach of the two we tried out, and insisted on keeping the job her- self. But there's no need of your spending half your time in the kitch- en. I may be a poor sort of hostess, but I can plan better entertainment for you than that, Tony.” “Meaning no offense—I don't think you could,” Tony retorted, laughing. “If you've never tried it, you can’t im- agine what a kick there is in being the mother of a perfect apple pic, or the artist who concocts a highly ed- ible and pictorial still-life. I'm think- ing of entering one of my chocolate ice. box cakes in the next county fair. ‘That's how bad I hate cooking.” ° IN NEw YORK ‘ ° ° (freely, means that you're going to Cherry nodded her sun-bright head and” her topaz eyes gleamed with wicked glee. “Which translated marry a poor but honest working man.

Too bad of you, Tony, to disappoint me so, for of course I realize now that there's no hope. A Talbot bride would have about as much need for a cook book as I would for a perma- nent wave, and I've caught you in the act of copying down every recipe that Rhoda has used on us this week. Well, my beloved sister-in-law has so much enjoyed showing off that we've fed remarkably well since you've been here, Tony. Come again soon! Now ‘fess up. Who's the poor but honest working man on whom you're going to try out Rhoda's prize recipes?” But Tony was not to be stampeded into an announcement of her engage- ment to Dick Talbot, who, by marry- ing her under the conditions she had imposed, would be poor enough to qualify for Cherry's impudent de- scription. “Let's say I've discovered my one talent—and leave it at that,” she sug- gested coolly. “Did I put too much nutmeg in this applesauce, Rhoda?” “No,” Cherry answered for her sis- ter-in-law. “You seem to be an ex- pert at applesauce, Tony.” and her impish grin made her double meaning unmistakable, NEXT: A proposal postponed.
