She has grewn used to her lack of popularity, and knows that she cannot be light and amusing. Her lcveliness “is cffset by her immaturity and lack of - allure. One man, Drake Farrelly, has seemed to like her. At the Manning's dinner, Venice meets g Ronald Wainwright, a most at- tractive young man, who looks like a faun. Her friend Lola tells her that Wainwright is the darling of New York, and that he likes women to be gay. Venice starts a conversation with him, but a girl with cerise nails takes him away from her. Venice breaks away from a so- ber man with cver - obvious spectacles, and goes over to the place where Wainwright is standing alone. termincs Chapter 10 NAILS “Her I am again,” Venice sald you, Mr. Wainwrigh BY HARRIET HENRY COMPETITION WITH CERISE | “Your’e looking for Bacchus, aren’t ted butler.” “Bright girl.

The remains are at the Charles W. Carter Mortuary. No arrange- ments have been made for the funeral. Mr. C’Connell entered the hos- pital October 18, on which date he arrived here by steamship from 'Seward. He had traveled to Seward over the Alaska Railroad from | Fairbanks which had been his place of residence in recent years. He came to this city with the in- tention of going to the Alaska Pioneers' Home at Sitka, and was to have left for that institution on {the steamship Admiral Evans last night, but his illness prevented his removal. | "Mr. O'Connell was born in Ohio. He came North in the stampede to the Klondike in 1897.
