It was queer how | unevenly money was divided, some people had so much they did not know what to do with it, and other people had nothing at all. She tried to remember what it | was im the Bible that Christ had told someone to sell for three hun- dred pence and give to the poor, and she wondered if Bishop had ever heard about it, and what he would | say were it suggested to him that he sell the big car and help people like Nelly. But Bishop was very generous; out in America she had been told of some huge charitable organization which was entirely financed from his pocket, so perhaps one could not very well complain about the Rolls, Bishop was very quiet as they drove out of London; he sat with his eyes closed, looking more tired and lined than usual, and now and then Georgie glanced at him pity- ingly. She wondered why Evelyn al- ways insisted that there was noth- ing the matter with him! To her in- experienced eyes he looked a very sick maa.

Quietly slipping out of their sight for a vis- it to the Ellis for water, the presi-| dent gave the reporters a few thrilling moments before they lo- cated him. One can almost hear the presi-! dent’s chuckle when they finally found him. More than once he has had them guessing by such antics. It was T. R., who was fond of pulling such things on the news- papermen assigned to cover his movements. Frank B.

Tho most desirable thing after love that is, for Georgio was still young and unsophisticated enough to, be- lieve that love came first, always, E studios were hot and daz alingly lit, and full of men who all seemed very busy and important, and in a great hurry. Georgie was introduced to geveral of them, and they called her “my dear” and one of them told her she had a film face. Bernie Boyd seemed to be the centre of attraction, and held court like a queen, her face made up in a way which Georgie thought hide ous, but which Evelyn explained was necessary for a successful picture. Evelyn liked to think she knew all about the business in hand, She ex- plained various details to Georgie in an entirely incorrect manner, and appeared deeply interested. “Well, what do you think of It?” Bishop asked Georgie once. He was standing looking on with bored eyes. “Does it fire your ambition to be a star?” “I don’t think so,” Georgie said. “I wonder if men have.to make up like that too? Somehow she could not imagine Nicholas being drilled and ordered about, and made to do the same thing over and over again until) it was entirely to the director's satis-, faction. Presently she wandered off to a corner of the studio by herself where a pile of photographs which she knew were called “stills” lay in an untidy heap, She turned them over curjously—dozens of them were of Bernie Boyd—Bernie in all attitudes, registering delight, fear, sorrow, Yes, she certainly had @ very beautiful face, Georgie was bound té admit, more beautiful per- haps when assisted by the skill of a camera man than when left un touched. Bishop spoke at her elbow again. “It’s all right about your friend, the one who needs a job. Miss Boyd is willing to give her a trial.” “Oh, how sweet of you,” she said gratefully, but to her surprise. Bishop frowned. “I dislike that expression,” he said rather curtly, and then, “Don’t begin copying your mother, Geor gle,” “Pm sorry,” she said helplessly, and then he smiled, “I told you last night we were both in the wrong box,” he said. Bernie came up to them at that moment; she was smiling and ap parently very pleased with herself. She spoke to Georgie and asked if she were enjoying herself. “Yes, thank you,” Georgie said, and then, “Are you?” she asked, Bernie laughed. “Does anyone en- joy work, I wonder?” she said, She laid a very much whitened hand on Bishop's coat sleeve. “So Kind of you to come,” she murmured in quite a different tone of voice.

When the meeting had been con- eluded, the schedule called for the departure of the presidential party late the next afternoon for the Louisiana cane brakes where T. R. was to spend 10 days hunting. “We retired late and very weary —traveling with Roosevelt was strenuous business. When we awoke we learned to our great dismay that the president had played a joke on us. Instead of waiting for the regular train to which his private car was to be at- tached, he had ordered a special engine and left the city befote we were up. Thre was no train mak- ing connections on which we could follow for eight hours. “There we were, high and dry in Memphis with our charge speed- ing away to the wilderness.

I bribed a railroad ‘eiegrapher and rushed my story thorugh to New York, “We finally caught up with the president, chuckling over his prank.

TERTAINED AS TO SIN. CERITY OF PURPOSE AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS By BYRON PRICE (Chief Of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington) Will the much-advertised Lon- don economic negotiation turn out, after all, to be only “an- other conference,” writing nothing in the book of history but great quantities of high-sounding, em- pty words? Many indications point in that direction. The dispatches from London speak wearily of “crisis” and “collapse.” In Washington a note of pessimism runs _ strongly through the “off the record” hints of public men. Yet it never is safe in such mat- ters to jump at conclusions. The very uniformity of the out- ward show of pessimism at Wash- ington, is to some, a matter of suspicion. The attitude is notably in contrast with the usual ‘Polly- anna” predictions that each new conference heralds the millen- nium; there must be a reason for it somewhere. The one perfectly patent thing is that a very deep game of dip- lomacy is in progress—so deep that it would be a very brave man who really believed he could fully fortell the outcome. Hard To Grasp Certainly the lay mind has been able to get very little out of the opening weeks of the conference. The American viewpoint es- pecially appears mystifying. The American delegates say things which look like commitments, and the next day deny that any such commitments were intended. Then they stand aside while non-Dele- gate Moley, and non-Delegate Da- vis, and non-Delegate Sprague and other shrouded figures whirl in and out of the picture. It is easy to conclude that the ness, have stubbed their toes badl. are utterly at sea. That is, i would be easy, except for one Mr. Roosevelt says he is ied with the way things are ; going. What does he mean by | that? Those who know the president, and have stopped to analyze the jsituation, can have no remote be- jlief that the American delegates lare acting on their own, Mr. | Roosevelt does not do business that way, particularly when he is dealing with a project of this {| caliber. His interest in the London con- |ference is well established. His foreknowledge of the difficulties | ithat would develop cannot be! {doubted in the light of his talks in Washington with the foreign} statesmen. | The inescapable conclusion, if you accept this line of reasoning, | is that the president himself is at} the helm of American policy in London. Turning Tables? In most previous world confer- ences, the Americans have suffer- jed in greater or less degree from over confidence and tipped their hands at the outset. The old world diplomats almost never do that. They are adept at letting matters slide to the edge of the precipice and then, by some dramatic stroke, gaining conces- sions they otherwise would have lost. It is just possible that Mr. Roosevelt .is, so to speak, giving {Europe a dose of its own diplo- matic medicine; that he has been content to contuse the situation as to his ultimate intent, just to show how necessary American leadership is and to make it the more wel- come and the more decisive when it really is asserted? The possibility is an extremely interesting one. IIAP LL eee Notice To Subscribers Please be prompt in paying the carrier who delivers your | paper.
