R OCCUPANGY WRITS SET NEW RECORD 316 Certificates Issued by R ~ Building Inspector in Week of Beer Rush. A total of 316 occupancy certificates were issued during the past week by the District building inspector. ‘The number, believed to be the great- est for a like period issued since the law requiring them has been in effect, included more than 250 which were taken out by established business places preparatory to applying for permits to sell beer. Under the law, an occu- pancy permit must be shown before a | beer license is issued. Many businesses which were in existence before the oc- cupancy certificate law was passed in 1820, had never previously had them. ‘The number issued this week included 96 for beverage vending places, 110 for restaurants intending to sell beer and 90 for grocery and delicatessen stores | seeking beer permits. Thirty others were issued to drug stores, confection- ers and the like, supposedly prepara- tory to applying for beer licenses. Other Certificates Issued.

Modern plumbing fixtures are distin- guished by their color and beauty of iines. The homeowner who is modern- izing a bath room today or making a waste space into an additional bath room will find that the colorful beauty of modern fixtures makes it possible to have a bath room that will be the most charming room in the house, and at surprisingly low cost. During the last few years manufac- turers of plumbing equipment and dec- orators have gone in enthusiastically for colors, and nowhere in the house has this trend toward the colorful found a more genuine expression than in the bath room and kitchen. In these rooms the old institutional white has been completely routed by color. One may have plumbing fixtures ing Ming green, ivorie de medici, Autumn brown, West Point gray, citrus yellow, Java tan, Lisbon blue or orchid of Vin- cennes. These are dnly a few of the many distinctive colors available. The names of these bath room colors suggest the relations between the mod- ern manufacturer of plumbing fixtures and the ancient art of the potter. Ming LUXU INSTALLMENT XXI HILE Stephanson felt per- fectly at ease, Friederike was a little afraid of this first unexpected tete-a-tete, but did not show it. “What would have become of you then?” she repeated. “A Napoleon?” | “No, a happy husband with six or | eight children and a cotiple of thousand dollars a year.” She_ uttered a forced laugh. ‘Why do you think so?” “Because happiness makes men stupid, and simple-minded,” explained | Stephanson in all seriousness. “I was never happy. I wasn't exactly unhap- py, either—just discontented. I always was. My trouble is I have too power- ful a dynamo inside me. Women have never understood how to keep me suf- ficiently occupied. I'm in no way with- out passion or temperament—certainly not. I've often been in love, and just as often jealous. Women have often given me joy and pain—but it didn’t mean much more to me than pleasure or annoyance at games of cards in idle hours when the stakes were small—" He was quite aware that his words were hardly well chosen for wooing, but he could not find any better ones, he, from whose lips words of flattery could flow like honey day in and day out. He had misused all his words of tenderness so many times that they had become shopworn. And because his feelings for Friederike were quite dif- ferent, he wanted to say something different to her. So he told her the truth. “I don’t believe I have the power to love at alL” He could not find any other declara- tion of love. “But you are married?” asked Frie- , can’t stand my wife.” Priederike recoiled. It was inconceivable to her that any man should so expose his wife to a stranger. She acted as if she had not heard him. “The water-is boiling.” Stephanson leaped up and poured the ground coffee into the container. When they had poured the finished brew into their cups, Stephanson im- mediately took up again the threads of his conversation. “My wife’s an elderly woman who, for two or three hours a day plays at the game of being 16. The rest of her time is occupied in preparations for this game—massage, gymnastics, try- ing on new dresses, wax facial treat- ment, et cetera. She knows nothing about me except that I earn a lot of money. She hasn’t the faintest idea about my business, and she—" Priederike’s aristocratic reserve still fought against his precipitous confi- dences. Really only because she wanted to divert him from his wife, she asked, “And what is your ambition? Won't you tell me?” Stephanson leaped up and walked about the large room. He peered for a iong time through the window out e s s S FIRST SHOWING 10 Pinehurst Circle Chevy Chase, D. C.

Don't laugh! I wanted to rule the ocean which I had never seen. I dreamec that I was commander of a great pirate ship, traveling to and from between America and Europe, that I was con- quering, plundering, sinking every ship that I encountered, - Naturally, I also dreamed that the most beautiful maiden on every such ship would be mine. But I didn't want to force der; she was to be the queen of the.ocean and live by my side, a magnificent pirate’s life—" He went over toward Friederike, very tenderly placed his hand on her hair and continued, “I never had any dream but this. Only in the course of time I began to understand that today piracy isn’t the right way to rule the ocean. For that reason I took a small job in a shipping company and worked my way through from Greece to America. I rose from messenger boy to director, then I became shipowner myself, and, finally, the controlling stockholder in one of the biggest American shipping companies, Mcanwhile, I grew very, very rich. But this was not my real aim in life. All the time I was merely pursuing my old boyhood dream. And now, Friederike, just now this dream is on the verge of fulfillment—~—" Stephanson was glowing with excite- ment. Friederike thought how amaz- ingly a man is an everlasting child! Her only conception of the seriousness of life was this: worry about daily bread, furniture that hadn't yet been pawned, decent shoes. the eternal struggle against creditors and against the; devastating chatter of evil tongues. In) her eyes Stephanson was nothing but a_gray-haired boy with his head full of pirate stories. “If I were really concerned with earn- ing millions,” he continued, “I should have formed a trust in America in the way in which the railway, oil and steel magnates have done it. But I am not an American, I am an ancient Phoeni- clan, a descendant of those people who were at home only when they dealt as lnlegmediarfles between all nations. The fulfillment of my dream is—to control ;;Il shipping between Europe and Amer- ca—" He held the palm of his hand in front of her, eyes and them closed it sharply to suggest to her holy a single Beautitul Wesley Heights HOME Wwill Sacrifice 4540 Lowell St. N.W.

You understand that this was partly a politi- cal move, and that is why I worked in co-operation with Mr. Bartlett's ne- gotiations. They were successful, and, if the final formalities were not con- cluded, it was because I hesitated at the last moment, for my risk was im- mense.” Stephanson again came close to her, and, bending his head down until It nearly touched her hair, said: “I have, I am not ashamed to tell you, been waiting for some sort of omen. My business friends would be amazed if they knew this. It is not an accident that at this great crisis I should meet the most beautiful girl that ever sailed the oceans. Everything is exactly how I dreamed it as a boy.” But Friederike had never dreamed of being seized by a modern pirate. The situation which filled him with so much poetic elan was, for her, almost tor- mentihgly matter of fact. He was the pirate; she was the beautiful girl of his dreams; he had infinite quantities of money. It would have been a per- fectly straightforward deal, but to re- ceive the confessions of his dream, of his deepest emotions, with an icy-cold heart, made her terribly ashamed of herself. . He knelt down before her. “Frieder- ike, I should like to make you the queen of the oceans.” She forced herself to remember her little house at home in Nettlebeck- | strasse, where two rooms had been let to lodgers and the other two were almost empty of furniture. She remembered the much-mended gloves which her mother wore when she dusted the rooms and how her father was eter- nally trying to hide the shiny elbows of Rhis coat by turning them inward. These thoughts alone made it possible for her to let his head rest in her lap. “Friederike,” he said, “I told gou the truth a little while ago. Until today I never knew what love was.” How pathetic, she thought, when, with awkward, stiff fingers she caressed his hair; how sad that he is giving me so much more than I need. be my pirate queen?” he She noded again. He lea up and caught her fiercely in his Brm4 P “Today, yes, today?” “No, tomorrow,” sald Friederike quickly. Afterward she wonderetd why she had really asked for a day's delay. It really didn't magter whether it was today or tomorrow. (To be continued tomorrow. IN BEAUTIFUL OPEN TODAY home, but want o be absolutely reached first.
