TRIBUNE’S PA res YOU BE GOOD? By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, June 22.—Calvin Coolidge’s congressman is the Hon. William Kirk Kaynor, former post- master at Springfield, Mass. Kaynor tepresents the second Massachusetts district, which includes famous Northampton, and Coolidge voted for him last November in the altogether likely event that he voted the straight Republican ticket. Kaynor went to Northampton to see his illustrious constituent before he came down here. Naturally, he was anxious to pick up any tips t would help him on his new job and intimated as much. “You just follow the Republican leaders and I guess you'll get along all right,” said Cal. * *k * Congressman Henry St. George Tucker of Virginia gives a good imita- he doesn’t believe in “public! dies who aren't in public life.” Neither does he believe in printing photo- Braphs of ladies in the newspapers. “He has been married twice before He was asked, in view of hi: a experience, for his ideas on marri “I approve of it!” declared Henry St. George Tucker. ek * ‘Three birds were riding in an ele vator in the department of commerce building, one of whom happened to be your correspondent.

The house Republi- can leaders had said definitely that the house wouldn't vote again on the | farm bill and the departing members shared their confidence that the sen- ate would back down on the deben- tures plan. Nothing short of con- sternation struck a few congressmen, including as many as half a dozen members of the Massachusetts dele- gation, when frantic wires came from Washington ordering them back to vote on the conference report in order to knock out the debentures plan from the farm bill. Most of them returned, too, for it doesn't pay for a Repub- lican to disregard orders from the house oligarchy. At half past one Crystal met Tony in a quiet tearoom.

As soon as the luncheon order had been given and the waitress dismissed, Tony began | to pout out her story: “I found Mr. Talbot in his pri office at the bank. It was ‘My dear this and ‘My dear’ that, till I shut him up by saying, ‘Mr. Talbot, I've come to have a frank talk with you about Callie Barrett.’ Well, if I'd had &@ feather, I'd haye had the pleasure of seeing him knocked out cold.” “Didn't you tell him first that you're not going to marry Dick?” Crystal de- manded. “Of course not, idiot! I was too clever for that,” Tony gibed. “Don't you see—All the time I was making my demands for Callie, he was tell- ing himself that he'd better do what I said, so I'd not break the engage- ment! .. . Well, I told him he had -to give Callie Barrett three thousand dollars. I told him what a fool I think she is not to take more, but I repeated what she said—that she wouldn't touch a penny more than enough to see her through the birth | of the baby and ten months of nurs- ing it; that she intended to support. herself and the baby after that, and be damned to the Talbots!

When the waitress had gone, | she began again: |. “Well, I was just pocketing the | three thousand—makes an awful wad, | by the way—when in came Dick. He tried to kiss me, and I—well, I slapped him, which was the first time I really | lost my temper,” she confessed. flush- jing at the memory. “But I do wish you could have heard me, Crys. ‘It | Was grand, being able to tell him and | his father exactly what I thought of | them—making me ‘pay my debt’ for a few kisses by marrying a man who | owed the biggest debt in the world to | another girl!

I'm going to put the poor old grand- mother in an Old Ladies’ Home, and see Callie settled with her sister in Chicago,... And I'm free, Crys! Free!” | NEXT: The first “date” with Colin Grant.
