CALLED Former New Britain Man, Deceased, Aboard Ship Visited by British King. The late Kenneth Hubbard Bige- low of this city was second petty officer on the U. 8. 8. “New York” when King George V of England, whose fight for life has been the world center of interest during re- cent weeks, inspected the American flect at Scapa Flow in 1918, so that the illness of the monarch and the reminiscences which have been call- ed forth by it hold special interest for the deceased sailor's sister, Mrs, R. W. Lyon of 17 Sherman court. Bigelow joined the navy in 1917, at which time he was living in this eity. He served for four years and spent 18 months overseas during the World war, It was during this period that the British king came aboard the ship on which he was serving, and Bigelow ~ obtained copies of photographs showing the royal visitor during his inspection of the American vessel, which was the flagship of the fleet at the time. These photos were found among Bigelow's effects when he died in New Haven on August 11 and they came into the possession of Mrs. Lyon. The local woman recad in Tues- day night's Herald a story which recorded the impressions which Rear Admiral Hugh Redman, U. S. had received of the king on the sev- eral occasions upon which they had met. Among these times was men- tioned the royal visit ot the ew York” at Scapa Flow, and Mrs. Lyon read this with great interest because she knew her brother had been there at the time. Babies Get Numbers And Names in Kansas Topeka, Kas. Dec. 14 (®—This state encourages parents to know their children by numbers as well as by names. It reserves the right, however, to assign the numbers to new-born babies.

Now AMIRICA'S| fivorile Cookie New double WANWRAPPED L AR i 25 COORIS THIS HAS HAPPENED Sadie Morton, cheap and tar- nished, has asked Ashtorcth Ashe te share her apartment. It is a grand and glorious apartment, fur- nished to Sadie’s tawdry taste, at the expense of Hol Hart. Hart, enormously wealthy and at- tractive, is Ashtoreth’s employer. And Ashtoreth is & beautiful girl, with exquisite perceptions and high ideals. A little snobbish, perhaps. She seems to have made a decided impression upon Mr. Hart, when suddenly he discovers that she and Sadia Morton are old friends. With that knowledge, Ashtoreth is afraid she has forfeited his interest. In order to satisfy her curiosity concerning his exact status with Sadie, she accompanies the girl to her apartment and hears the com- plete story of an amazing philan- thropy. Hart had given Sadie $10000 be- cause he felt sorry for her—and had 80 much money that it really didn't make any difference anyhow, When he tired of visiting her, Badie, panic stricken her new prosperity dwindles, threatens to sue him for breach of promise. But she has no grounds for such a suit, add not even an unscrupulous lawyer can help her find any. Hart never so much kissed her good night, as she naively admits. Finally, Badie thinks she sees a way to keep the apartment which she is afraid she will lose. For she has spent her entire $10,000. And 50 she begs Ashtoreth to come and share the rent. “Your mother'd love she pleads. it, Ash” NOW GO ON WITR THE STORY CHAPTER VII “Oh, Sadie, we couldn't afford it,” protested Ashtoreth. But Sadie was not so easily dis- couraged. “It wouldn’t cost much if we | split it three ways,” she pointed out. "You and your mother and me, and then some other girl. Gee, Ash, I hate to give up a place like this. Be a good sport. We could have some swell times together. And think of your mother, Ash! Wouldn't she just love it though!™ Tt was, indeed, the sort of palce poor Maizie would love. Family ties, reflected Ashtoreth, were such a joke. She disliked, instinctively, |<‘\9rylh|n‘ that her mother ad- mired. 8he shuddered now, to think of Maizie gloating over Sa- die’'s deep plush chairs and mon- strous divan. Admiring Sadie's dreadful lamps. Exclaiming upon her ugly rugs. And all her tawdry objects dart. 3 What would Hollis Hart think if he could know that Mrs. Ashe had tastes like Sadie’s! Ashtoreth had conveyed the im- pression that her mother was a cultivated and an educated woman, Some day she could explain their intimacy with the miserable Mor- tons. But never, never would she transplant Maizie to floyrish in the garish garden of Sadie's interior decorations—to be discovered there by Hollia Hart. . .°.

He calls me Biren because he says I'm a wcream. Gee, he's a wise cracker! You ought to know him. He's just like a guy in College Humor. Wears the latest styles. Honest, Ash— he's a riot. Know what he says 1 am? A U. 8 A. girl—Universal Sex Appeal.” Sadie preened for a glance in her Venetian mirror. “Yes, ma'am,” she said. “That boy thinks I'm the original red hot mamma.” “Then you’re really through with Mr. Hart?” asked Ashtoreth eager- {lv. “T mean you're not going to {try to get any more money from hi 5 . vulgarity was ‘Oh.

Oh, well. God played favorites with us wim- min. That's all T got to say.” “I don’t know that life’'s heen using you too badly,” consoled Ash- toreth. “I haven't seen any ten theusands coming my way.” “You will,* prophesied Sadie, “sure as God makes little apples.

Ruf, for all her gay prefenses, Ashto- reth knew that she had serubbed floors and washed a thousand greasy dishes. There wepe many things that Hollis Hart must never know. Not that there was anything shameful about having been an errand girl in the five-and-ten. Of course there wasn't! RBut neither was it any- thing a girl who looked like an heiress hoasted ahout particularly. “If he thinks I've antecedents, and education and culture like the girls in his crowd, what a fool T'd be,” vowed Ashtoreth, “to disillu- sion him." " She left the car at Park street and walked briskly down te State.

She had not, then, forfeited his {interest. To- morrow, perhips, he would ask her of Sadie’s plans. And she would be able to tell him that she had advised Sadie to make no trouble, “I may be only a stenographer,” she rejoiced, “but 1 can do a mil- lionaire a favor!" me to thank in a admitted. as if you Warmly grateful to lifc and fits largesse, she stopped at a confec- tioner's on the way home and or- dered for Maizie a pound of assorted bonbons and caramels with nuts. 8he bought the newest movie maga- zine. And a box of face powder, “Well, I do,” announced Ashto- reth, and began to gather her things together. Black antelope gloves and a bag to match and her little handkerchief. “Listen Sad Tt T were you 1 wouldn’t go te see Mr. Hart again. Honestly, T think you are making a big mistake.
