In a plaintive voice ‘Mie child of the gilded cage said that “gold is not everything.” SHE'S SICK OF BEING PAMPERED “Do you know,” she continued, “T'm Just sick and tired of being pampered fend fawned over, I want to get out @nd do something worth while.” “Like what?” I inquired. * “Well, like Helping other people. Giving their children a chance, for example. But here,” she surveyed the room with a sweep of her hand— “it's just sameness—dress for lunch- €on, school, sitting stuffy rooms, talking meaningless talk, Ob, it's so Dboring** “But shouldn't you be content, sur Founded with everything most people Struggle all their lives to get—mon- ey?” I suggested. WILL USE MONEY FOR GOOD DEEDS “Some fpeople are quite silly and Tm not,” exclaimed Dellora. “So, Please remember that. “Money is a bother. I hope to use mine for good works—educa- tion and charity. But just yet, of ‘ourse, I've made no definite plans. “Naturally I'm grateful for what “Bas been given to me.

She paused for just a moment and “then replied. “Most of all “Yes.” WANTS LITTLE HOUSE; NO SERVANTS “Well, I'll tel you—but you mustn't laugh! I want a little house for my very own, with no maids or gervants—and—and a nice little Kitchen with a stove and every- thing. “You see, I'm fond of cooking, ‘and, oh, I can bake the dandiest pies and cakes, and make the love- pies and cakes, and taste fine; dad Bays so.” “Is that all you want—just the house? Isn’t there going to be a good-looking husband around some Place to make the scene complete?” I ventured. For a moment she was confused. “Perhaps — perhaps, some time. But just now I can’t think of hus- bands. I'm too busy learning how to live and how to manage all this money.” She denied specifically that she's @ngaged—a report that has been current a dozen times. She denied, too, that she especially favors any ne young man. “I want to be a simple. natural girl. Folks probably imagine I sleep in a gold bed and swim tn lakes of pearls. But they're wrong. I spend very little money on myself. 1 have a little spending account for pin money—about $100 a month. Please let people know I'm not a waster. I'm not going to be an idle spender—not on your life! * “WE ARE HERE TO HELP OTHERS” “We're here to help others, and when we die—but, of course, I'm Bot planning on anything like that fow—you don’t take a penny with eu; not a cent!” BDellora is unassuming; her eyes @fe a wondrous brown; her hair is brown, too; every movement is graceful; her entire bearing be- speaks refinement and culture, Olson Disbarment Case Is Dismissed OLYMPIA, June 22.—George Ol- fon, Seattle lawyer, is cleared of charges and the disharment case against him dismissed by the su- preme court.

The expected demonstration at the White Star line plier by Irish sym pathizers who intended to show their disapproval of the admirals “jack- ass" speech in London failed to materialize—partly because of the presence of a thousand policemen and partly because of the expedition with which Sims was whisked to a hotel in an automobile, Sims was the first passenger down the gang plank, he and Mrs. Sims | stepping ashore at 1015 a. m.
