REAL ESTATE. 50 CINEMA FIRE - VICTIMS BURIED Bfisiness Is Stopped and Flags Placed at Half- Mast in Paisley. B9 the Associated Press. PAISLEY, Scotland, January 4.—In- habitants of this grief-stricken town sterday witnessed another act in the Fragic drama of the cinma firs which Tuesday snuffed out the lives of 72 children living here. Fifty of the child victims were buried today. Business life was hushed and dropped to half staff on public buildings. Blinds on residences were drawn as the hearses at brief intervals for five hours carried the tiny coffins through silent streets to the cemeteries. Twenty-six of the children were Roman Catholics and the bodies of these were taken from their homes last night to Catholic churches where short seryices were held. Weeping wom:n and sad-faced men remained at the church until a late hour. A special requiem mass was held to- day simultaneously with services at other churches prior to burial. In an cient Paisley Abbey a memorial service was held and the provost magistrates. town councillors and others of Paisly, Glasgow and Renfrewshire joined with the humble townspeople here in mourn- for their dead. rge crowds lined the Toads to Hawkhead Cemetery, wh:re nearly 60 ves have been prepared. Funerals for the rcmaining victims will be held tomorrow.

SYNOPSIS. | Missie Colfar is married off at 20 to | Wesley Dexter, gay, florid, 35. He soon { tires of her, and just when she feels that life holds mothing but unhappiness she meets Kirby Phelps. Suddenly they realize that they are in love. Missie is kappier than she has been since her girlhood, when she was in love with | Harry Stoane, who never guessed her { feeling for him, and who was killed in after her marriage. She wants to leave Wesley, but there are so many obstacles. She was the daughter of Stella, a bur- | lesque actress. and Lambert Colfar, a | member of an aristocratic jamily. Col- i faz deserted his wife and, after jutile (attempts at reconciliation, she %illed herself. Then Missie went to live with | her grandmother, old Mrs. Colfaz, and | her Aunt Adelaide. The dull, formal atmosphere of the Coljax home stified ssie. From her father's Uncle Archi- ald she learned that her scapegrace ather is old Mrs. Colfar’s favorite. Adclaide submits to parental tyranny, ang disinherited. NINETEENTH INSTALLMENT. ISSIE was desperate. She need- ed help, but_where could she go for it? Not to Eileen, so absorbed in her ambitions, so likely to resent any scandal which might thwart them. And Kirby was away again; not that she could have told him, but he gave her strength. For all his visions he was practical. “Talk? Why should we care? We'll not be here to listen.” the Spanish-American War the year | Cecily, another daughter, has bees | {one of the Great Lakes. ning to live there. And when she had mentionel her grandmother, he dismissed her as easily. “The world moves,” he said. “The time is coming when even she will see without love, Missie dear.” But she felt that Sarah and her kind were standing, in their own stiff-necked fashion, for something which had its value for gentility, for that stoical pride which carried its griefs in secret and to the grave. Missie thought of her grandmother, in those long hours when she sat alone and bewildered, of her thin white hands, of her rigid back; of her refusal to see that Aadlaide was a mature woman, or that Lambert was other than a duti- ful son. Of that strange habit of wash- ing her hands, which she had begun when Cecily went away. She had survived her husband, big and strong as he had been. But women did live. They had enormous reserves, more reserves than men. They sur- vived their men. All over the world were the Sarahs, lonely old women who had survived their men. Survived every- thing. She herself—she would live farever, on and on. She felt, for all her slenderness, a terrible inexorable vital- ity in her. Her mother had had it too, had seen ages of unbearable time stretching ahead of her, and had re- fused to face them. 1t made her desperate, that thought. She began to go to church again, seek- ing help there. But on her knees dur- ing the general confession, she would find herself trembling again. One day she dressed carefully—Kirby was still away—and went to see Mr. MacDonald. She was shaking with fear, pale under her black tulle hat and ermine tippet. But there was ne formidable in the elderly man who sat behind the desk, untidy, uncared for, desolate. His wife had died, and he new lived by himself. She felt a great wave of pity for him, and when she saw his eyes she had a burst of en- lightenment. It was for the best that women survived. Old men alone, that was_the greatest tragedy. They were so helpless. They looked out from wrinkled faces with the eyes of lonely small boys. No, women had to survive them, to take care of them to the last, to hold tight to them at the end. How could she talk to him of her own troubles, so trival compared with death? The very effort he made to be casual made it harder for her. “Well, well! And what can an old lawyer do jor a prosperous and happy young married woman? How's Wesley? He looks well.” “I think he is. I don’t see as much of him as I might.” “Well. that's to be expected these days. This drive for success—He’s a busy man. He'll ge far, Missie.” He cleared his throat. ake him a good home, Missie. It's the woman who makes the marriage. That was your mother’s mistake. She meant all right, but she nagged your father.” He coughed again. “There ought to be more to a mar- riage than that,” she sald, looking down. “There ought to be—loyalty, Mr. Mac- Donald.” He lifted a pen, put it down. “You're young. By and large, a good m: men wander a bit at first, but they settle down. They settle down, and they make the best husbands in the end. You—-" “And in the interval?

Divorce! ‘What did that ever cure? 1f a human being fails in one marriage, hel fail in another. And marriage isn't only a civil contract; it's a religious one.

It would grieve me, but you must | understand that, Marcella.” But after that ukase she was softer. Not gentle; she could never be that. But she sat back, twisting the worn gold band on her left hand. “I was not too happy in the early| days of my own marriage. I had my rebellions. All young wives do. But I lived to be glad that no one but myself had ever known it.” She could be glad!

By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, January 4—Quiet old St. James’ Palace, which will be the meet- ing place for the coming naval disarma- ment conference, is one of the best loved buildings in old London. The history of St. James' Palace is one of peace. For all its crenellations and the red-coated guards that all day long pace up and down before it, it has never know shot and shell. It first became the official royal resi- dence in 1698, after the burning down of the Palace of Whitehall. Queen Anne and all the Georges lived in it, and it was the principal home of Wil- liam IV. Since then the official resi- dence of the royal family has been Buckingham Palace, but the British court is still officially “the Court of St. James,” and the royal levees are still held in the older building. The sixteenth century gate house (the portion of the palace which is seen looking down St. James street) is its finest architectural feature, and the range of rooms to the west of it form York House, the London home of the Prince of Wales, which is now regarded as forming a separate building. Inside the palace is a fine range of state apartments. The banqueting room or state room, in which the plenary sessions of the conference will be held, is a long, low | chamber of dignified appearance, the walls of which are lined with royal portraits. It is none too large for its intended purpose, and the activities of the conference will certainly overflow into the drawing room. Queen Anne's drawing room and the throne room— the lest of which is a particularly sumptuous apartment, with a great white marble chimney piece and carv~ ings by England’s greatest wood carver, Grinling Gibbons. At least three big international con- ferences, including the mecting of the Council of the League of Nations in 20, have been held at the palace, and any gatherings of lesser importance have met within its walls CALGARY, Alberta, January 3 (#).— L.

ROME, January 4.—Six thousand Italian prisoners will be released from confinement and have their sentences terminated when Princess Marie Jose of Belgium marries Humbert, Prince of Pledmont, here January 8. An amnesty proclamation made by King Victor Emmanuel in connection with the wedding provides liberation for prisoners serving sentences of a year or less for civil and military offenses and for failure to pay fines. In cases of sentences of more than a year one year is remitted for civilians and two years for soldiers. Punishments inflicted on soldiers for violation of dis- cipline also are lifted, except in cases | of unworthy element. | In all, including remission of fines, it | was expected as many as 400.000 per- sons will benefit.

N.A.).—Mexico today is the ideal tour- ist land of this continent, accessible by rail, sea, air and, as far as Monterey, by motor car. The City of Mexico may be reached in 48 hours by train from the border; it is a daylight flight from Laredo and Vera Cruz is two or three days by boat from Galveston, depending upon the speed of the boat. One may land at Tampico and fly to the city of Mexico ln“(wo hours, & journey of 36 hours by rail. In another year, the government promises, the City of Mexico will be connected by an excellent highway with Laredo. Hotels will be bullt along the beautiful trail through mesa and moun- tains; a new tourist hotel already is under construction at Monterrey. This highway, to relieve the fears of timid ones, will be patrolled by motor cycle patrolmen and garrisoned at intervals, very likely, by federal soldiers. But it is now that Mexico is the ideal tourist land. The country is still virgin. The rural communities, many of them, are still primitive. Three-fourths of the City of Mexico remains a labyrinth of mystery. The visitor is received not as a tour- ist, to be overcharged and fooled in the bargain, as he is on European traiis for the innocent. In the tourist paths of the City of Mexico, of course, the uninitiated probably will be overcharged, as in any other tourist land, but the overcharge does not exceed the ordinary charge in the United States. A few years hence, with the govern- ment educational program in effect, with highways unwinding, communic: tlons strung, avlation developing— Mexico already has 10,951 kilometers of airlines, more mileage per capita of population than any nation except Germany—Mexico will be so like the United States that the tourist will be deprived of one pleasure, at least, that of “discovery.” Discoveries Made in Capital. Ancient ruins still are new in Mexico. In the heart of the capital’s business district new temples and idols recently have been revealed by workmen excavat- ing for a new building. The pyramids of Tenochtitlan, the origin or age of which no man knows, still are untrod- den except by a few. The market places are treasure houses for the tourists.

English and French are spoken only by the upper classes. The tourist may lose himself in a maze of strangeness. But with the passing of Mexico's originality will come compensations for the traveler—warmer rooms, better food, swifter and more comfortable trans- portation, more facility in “making the rounds,” more sympathy with the people through a better understanding of them. Now, however, is the -golden oppor- tunity 'for the 'tourist to catch old Mexico as perhaps it never will be again, if the government continues progressive and stable, although even now is a bit late. American jazz al- ready dominates the national music in the City of Mexico. The theaters are American theaters, except for the tempo. Acts move much more slowly. ‘The motion picture theaters produce American pictures; large audiences sit through long talkies and apparently understand the English. The talkie is a good English lesson, the actors panto- miming the things of which they speak. The themes of the pictures, however, are not such good lessons in Amer- ican civilization. ‘The tourist, too, Who expected to live, perforce, on rare Mexican food in the city of Mexico will be disap- In the beter hotels and res- taurants, those frequented by tourists, he will find American menus, & little short on vegetables, perhaps, but domi- nated by beef and potatoes in one form or another, or by bacon and eggs. Capital's Beauty Rivals Paris. If the tourist confines himself to the better district of the City of Mexico, from the Zocalo to Chapultepec, and | the unsurpassed residential section near the latter, he will depart believing the capitel more beautiful than Paris, ‘The exclusive residence district of the hipodromo is a vista of -vividly tinted Spanish houses, surrounded these days by flowers of brilliant color, with deeg blue and white tile shining over arched windows and bordering the edges of roofs. The driveways are all curve, in the most modern style, cut- ting out round islands of exquisite vegetation at the intersections. ‘Through the heart of the district is a long rectangular plaza, where arches rise and fountains play and rich vases glimmer among the flowers from which their designs were taken. Here the children of the wealthy, many of them Americans, play under the solic- itous eyes of dark-skinned nurses, On one hand rise the Violet and Heliotrope Mountains, on the other, stretched out in a hazy, sun-tinted vista, lies the city of Mexico. A long, low range of mountains rises beyond that spectacle of bleached stone. The range lies upon the horizon like a long sword, the niched edge upturned. A giant might wield that sword by fitting his hand between the white ivory of the two snow-covered volcanoes, Popocate- petl and Iztaccihuatl.
