DAILY SHO! RT STOR THE SAGE By Glenn Reilly. IT WASN'T long after Nancy left business school that she discovered that the fact of being grown-up ° and educated and entirely on her own was distinctly not all that it was - cracked up to be ‘The fact rankled for more than one Treason. In the first place, the slender amount of money she had been left, carefully budgeted though it had been to get her through a business course in the big town, was diminishing at an alarming rate. Nancy had had no doubts whatever that immediately upon her being graduated there would be a rather good job waiting for just guch a smart and capable person as Rerself. It hadn't appeared. Secondly, there was the fact that, outside of a semi-hostile aunt back in Erie, Pa., she had no known living relatives upon whom to fall back if what seemed to be inevitable actually occurred. Nancy decided grimly that she'd cheerfully starve rather than ask sour-pussed old Aunt Samantha for anything: Aunt Samantha was one of those I-told-you-so types, un- endingly. And the third consideration, and | the one that caused her the worst | misgivings, was that her erstwhile | near-flance, Kenneth, had so uner- | ringly predicted just what was hap- | pening. It gave her the odd feeling | that he knew more than she had given | him credit for knowing. She realized | that at a word from her he would Jeap at the chance of marrying her. But first she must make at least & | gmall success in New York, just to prove to herself that she could do it! And it was thus that, while answer- ing advertisements in the morning papers, she came to the Cs, and saw a box requesting chorus girls. Nancy thought, and then firmly placed a penciled notation beside the adver- tisement. She could dance . . . and who knew? She might get a job for & while! | * % % x | ATER in the morning Nancy found herself, along with a hundred other girls, upon the barren stage of the State Theater, where evidently a new “Varieties” was going into pro- duction. Watching the other girls before her, she got the idea of the routine, but her heart misgave her as she noticed the small percentage of mrL: winnowed from the aggregate. “Nice pair of gambs you got, sister!” the dance director startled her b} saying. Subconsciously, she had ex- | pected questions as to her previous | positions, and the like. *“You got looks, too! If you can dance as] good as you look, you're hired!” In s sort of daze Nancy got through | e simple waltz clog with variations, | and found she was actually a member of the line! By the time the show finally opened Nancy had learned a bit about the surface sophistication so dear to big town dwellers. Cloe, the brilliant, though unauthentic, blond who shared her dressing table, saw to that. Nancy came to rely upon the older girl's advice, carefully given in an offhand manner * %k x N OPENING night Nancy nearly froze with fright. The blur of faces, the sudden, unexpected sounds of approbation from behind the white glare of the foots gave her a feeling of reality. And so she wasn't really surprised when the colored maid brought in a box of flowers for her, and she extracted a card bearing the name of Hervey Weatherill, with & polite request penciled thereon to take her out after the show. Cloe NEW LODGES CHARTERED Federation of Federal Employes Total Now 60%2. The National Federation of Federal Employes has chartered four new lodges, bringing the total to 602, Miss | Gertrude M. McNally, secretary- treasurer, announced today. These units are in Baltimore, New Orleans, Gasconade, Mo.,, and Strat- ford, Tex.

For tvo weeks afterward Nancy received identical * flowers and re- quests. And finally Cloe put her hand upon Nancy's shoulder as they were getting dressed, or un- dressed, for the first-act curtain. “Listen, darling,” she cautioned. “I've kept hands off for two weeks, just to see how you reacted to my teaching, and you really came through in grand style.” “You mean about this Weatherill per- son?” Nancy asked. Up until that moment, it was true, Cloe had never said a word to her about the unknown gallant who evi- dently attended every performance, flatteringly enough. “I'm rather thrilled about him! Don't you think I should give him a date after the show, just for the experience?” * ok Kk % YOU poor lamb!” Cloe said ma- ternally. “I can see that you haven't been around much!” Nancy opened her eyes, a little hurt. I suppose you don’'t know that Hervey ‘Weatherill is one of this burg's most notorious playboys, that he strings his conquests like pearls and exhibits them to flatter his own ego, that he | believes that his millions give him the right to barge in upon any one's personal life and do what he likes with it!” Nancy was a bit awed. really didn’t know that!” Cloe smiled and patted her shoul- der. “You're in the big city, my dear, but what you haven't realized is that your speed is still that nice boy back too!” “No, I THE in Pennsylvania! I'd stick to him if I were you! And as for this rich Weatherill lug, you just leave him to me, because I know how to handle that kind!” Cloe was as good as her word. Be- tween the first and second acts of the show Cloe slipped out and had Weatherill called to the phone from his box. “It’s all fixed, Nancy,” she reported. “I told him just what was on my mind! And now, after the show, I'll leave first and go up to him if he’s waiting, like he said he would be. While I keep him interested you can slip by and everything will be copasetic!” “I don’t know what I'd do without you,” Nancy thanked +her. “I do, and that's just why I have to keep an eye open all the time,” Cloe retorted. “Anyhow, you leave everything to me, as I said. Old Aunt Cloe is one gal who knows all the angles!” “All right, Cloe, from now on the game is in your hands, and I certainly am grateful to you for taking the trouble!” “The pleasure is all mine,” assured her. Cloe * ¥ kX% AND true as his word, after they had finished dressing and were ready to go home, Cloe peeked around the stage door and saw parked at the end of the stage entrance alley the Weatherill limousine, impressive in its expensively simple decorations. Beside it stood Hervey, waiting. Nancy, her coat couar turned up, | walked swiftly by while Cloe turned upon Weatherill the full battery of eyes and chatter. Nancy was thankful as she turned the corner out of sight. So was Cloe. With her most enchant- ing smile she allowed herself to Be handed into the car and snuggled lux- uriously upon the soft cushions.

Only seven depositors were on hand when the Federal-American National Bank & Trust Co., 1336 New York avenue, opened its doors yesterday to begin payment of a 15 per cent divi- dend. The first person to be given a check by the receiver was a woman who de- clined to give her name. Next to get their checks were Clarence M. Wood- ward, 4817 Thirty-sixth street, and George Lucchesi, 1326 I street. In the case of joint accounts, such as husband and wife, it was empha- sized, the signatures of both are re- quired before a check can be delivered. The receivership has prepared about 23,000 checks for this second dividend, emounting to about $1,248,411.

Advocating minimum wage laws for men as well as women, Mrs. Helen Robbins Bitterman of Ohio com- mended President Roosevelt in an ad- dress Sunday before the National Woman's party for his recent state- ment to the same effect. “Women merely lose their jobs,” Mrs. Bitterman said, in pointing out the disastrous effects of a minimum wage law for women alone.

Americans are losing their [lee a dry cocktail, or & dry wine, it's the only kind & real experienced beer drinker will order. And you'll never tire of the taste of Gunther’s. That again is because it's so dry and beer-y—instead prohibition-day taste for sweet-tasting beers—a taste they developed when home-brew and ‘needled” beer were made with sugar and raisins, or both! And even though so many beers are still being made on the | sweet-side, you’ll find that real beer drinkers insist on a dry beer-y beer like Gunther’s. Gunther’s is just the opposite from a sweet beer. As different as day and night from other beers. The best way to explain it, according to an old Bavarian brew-master, is to call it “beerie” or “beer-y.” Dry and beer-y, that's the way to describe it! Instead of being heavy in body, Gunther’s is just the reverse. Completely satisfying, yet it’s the light type of old- style lager that doesn’t ““fill you up.” You can drink more of this kind of beer without taking the edge off your appetite. IN CIRCLE BELOW — Reporter snapped a couple in the act of dis- cussing beer taste. The “sweet young thing'* said she used to drink sweet beers but gradu- ally learned to like the dry, beer-y taste of Gunther's, of being sweet-like! No wonder Gunther’s is the biggest selling beer in this part of the country. Made like an imported Bavarian or Bohemian beer, using only the choicest imported hops, there is no grander tasting beer at any price anywhere. Ask some of the folks from the Danish, Dutch or German Embassies what kind of beer they like (and what kind of beer they drank in the old country). It's dollars to doughnuts they’ll describe “‘a good dry beer-y kind” —like Gunther’s!

SAYS FAMOUS BRAUMEISTER BEER AND STUFFI If you can find a “sweet- beer” drinker in this crowd at one of the good the young lady in the flower-print said she rarely drank beer and actu- her wines sweet. Oh well, we can't expect everybody to be a real beer drinker. AT THE ACTIVE BARS—more and more people are patronizing the places that carry Gunther's.
