i i 4 nounced after an intensive survey of conditions| upoh entering the White House was not as extensive as some laid down by other Presidents. Perhaps the tremendous success of the Coolidge Administra- tion was due more than to anything else to the fact that he believed that the country needed rest after {the war and war aftermath and the strenuous ad- | ministrations of Roosevelt and Wilson more than it; needed remedies. He advocated economy and in that interest he vetoed the Soldiers’ Bonus and the bill increasing the pay of postal employees.

THE WOLF SMILES The day following Santa hid within four walls, Each time the telephone tinkled her heart quick- ened. Like a beleaguered city, she watched for Clive’s return, Never had he seemed so prec- ious. On the second day she ventured out, but took her maid with her. The third day she went out un- accompanied. Gradually her alarm subsided. The fourth day she had a fit- ting at Bloomhoff's, that extraor- dinary institution where grand idutchesses and bootleggers’ wives elbowed each other in their anx- iety to be served by the redoubt- able Bloomhoff himself. As Bloom- hoff left her she raised the cur- tain to return to the show room and the endless parade of man- kins in evening gowns, negligees, pyjamas. On a couch between hersedf and the elevator, barring escape, sat Dicky. He smiled like a wolf in Little Red Riding Hood. “Sorry to disappoint you.” Touching her arm affectionate- ly, he conducted her to the ele- vator. The clients of Bloomhoff |doubtless imagined that they were witnessing love's young dream. | In Fifth Avenue she shook her {self free. “I can't live without you.” “But how did you know that I would be at Bloomhoff’s?” “Rang up and discovered.” They walked a block. She broke the silence. : | “What do you imagine you gain | {in persecuting me?” “That you'll fali for my charm.” “How do you mean fall?” “That you'll re-marry me.” She took her time in answering. “Dicky, please believe me. The only flowers you'll ever receive | | from me will be in a wreath at your funeral.” | | “I'll rise from my grave,” he: responded lightly. “But what do you want?” “That youll lunch with me.” “To lunch with him where they | could be seen only by a few peo- ple seemed preferable to courting {the publicity of the streets.

Don't kid yourself. - His face collapsed like a child's. “I'd commit suicide if I believed you were through with me.” “But Dicky, that’s not news to you. I've béen through with you for ages.” “May be. You haven't acted like it.” He called for another cocktail. She prayed that he might call for Meanwhile she argued. “May 1 speak frankly for your own good?” he questioned. “Can you be more rude than you have been?” she challenged.

Dig down to fundamentals. The trouble with our marriage was money.” “The trouble with our marriage,” she correctly swiftly, “was that you lured an innocent girl to share your pig-sty of a past and sparred with her because she refused to sink to your level.” “If I'd possessed money, you'd have stuck with me,” he insisted. “I might have.” She glanced around the room. “Your willing- ness to sponge on me didn't in- crease my respect for you.” “There’d be no more danger of my sponging on you.” His chest swelled a trifle. “I'm a rich man.” “Not by your own efforts.” (Golly, he’'s pathetic, she thought.) “Does it matter by whose ef- fort?” speaking about Clive. chance of holding him is to pres- “But we were Your only he urged. She turned. “And if I were to kick Clive to the devil, you'd give me romance?” she suggested. “Let’s.”” He pinched her arm. “Eat your asparagus,” she im- mediately squelched him. He put down his wine glass, em- pty. “You have yet to persuade me that my attentionss are unwelcome. As to what you have said about the life we led that's granted. But since then you've revealed qualities which you kept hidden while we were man and wife. I've seen you tender, considerate, pa- tient. There’s no woman can drag the best out of me the way you can, Santa.” “The other day you -called me a faker.” “You are, but not consciously,” he pleaded. “You don’t appreciate the maddening effect of your sym- pathy.” He refilled his glass. “Come across. If T've discovered new qualities in you, haven't you discovered in me more attractive qualities than you'd suspected?” Her expression was tense. “All T've discovered, Dicky, are the self-pity and evasions of a small, bad boy.” Her answer whipped him into pride. “Heavens, how you women can lie. During the past months you have devoted more of your waking hours to me than to the man who figures as your husband.” She felt that she had mastered the situation, “Misplaced kindness.” He upset her with a question. ‘Have you told him about our taxi-ride?” TLunch was ended.

I didn't want to distress him.” “Lying again, S8anta. You didn't want to distress yourself. You did not trust him enough to tell him.” In a flash she was on her feet and had placed the table between them. “T'd trust him absolutely.” He made no attempt to delay her. Refilling his glass, he looked up casually. : “You're mine. You daren’t tell Clive that we're still meeting. I shall wear you down.” She stamped her foot. He raised his glass. “Here’s to our reunion.” Having reached the door she hesitated and came back. “I've endured you; now I loathe 1933 best wishes for a and a Happy and Year. “By you when you left your san-|e.

Hatred is akin to love.” As Santa scurried through chill February streets, she felt little and threatened. She pieced togeth- er the word-portrait which Dicky had presented her of herself. She wasn’t like that at all, she pro- tested; yet all her conduct fitted perfectly to construct such a por- trait. Even Clive, when he was angry, had been of the same op- inion as Dicky. Aterwards he'd gone the limit ‘in twisting facts to her advantage. It had sounded grand and comforting. But what did he really think of her? (Copyright, 1931,-1932, Coningsby Dawson.)
