A* for her friends, Mazie hesi-
tated about confiding tn them.
Sometimes she felt that she must
talk thia matter otw^oPlwrsL It
bung heavy on her mind and her
conscience. If Adel* did' come, __
what would the people of Brooktoc”-'
say. If she didn't come, why, then,
there would be nothing to worry
about. But down in her heart
Mazie wanted her sister to come—
bare back and all. For then, al-
though Mazie never admitted such
a thought to herself, the Atkins
house would be the center of» all
interest—a place to be pointed out
and talked about, and Mazie, her,
self, would be in the limelight quite
as much as her famous sister, for
would she not be stopping at Ma-
rie’s house. .
Bo with hurried footsteps Mazie
each morning rushed to the post
office to ask for the mail, hoping,
and yet not hoping for the fatal
letter. Then1 one morning came a
white envelope postmarked “New
York.” Mazie smiled at the post-
mistresses questioning look, and
said briefly: “From my sister, you
know," and scurried away up the
street to her home.
There shfe 6at down by the win-
dow, so that she could see-' the
street, and with trembling fingers
tore open the long-texpected epistle.
It was brief enough, goodness,
knows, Mazie commented, but
Adele was coming—would be there
thd first of July! She was coming
because the show was closing, and
she would have her vacation—not
to get away from the show, as
Mazie had advised. Well, at least
she had accepted the invitation,
and perhaps after Addie arrived
she might be made to see the error
of her ways, and resolve to settle
down for the rest of her life.
Mazie’i first impulse was to rush
across the r Street ahd inform
Maimie Gordon of the news. But
on second consideration, she de-
cided to wait She felt that she
must break this news casually to
her friends, but she didnT know
quite1 how, and it was better to have
them all together, for if one got
hold of the story she would take it
from house to house, where
would be mouthed over by ail the
women of tne village again and
again. She didn't .know exactly
SYNOPSIS
Adele Dayton, Jam one musical
comedy actress, while starring in
Paris in a show called “Powder My
Back,” has had photographs taken
of her titled admirers powdering
her notoriously beautiful hack, to
be used <ls a publicity stunt in
America. The show opens later on
Broadway, and the pictures appear
in the newspapers. Uazie Atkina,
Adele’s sistdr out in Iowa, sees the
pictures and is horribly shocked.
She writes’ Adele, inviting the act-
ress to visit her, with the idea of
leading tief to a “better lifeThe
idea amusis Adele, and the decides
to accept the invitation. '

which such things were kept, and

Adele took the materials and,

could find, scrawled in ber large,
careless handwriting. In another
moment she picked up the paper
and read what she bad written.

defiantly, but Mazie needed it) “Do

is admirably adapted to the presen-
tation of male or female characters.

are actually startling—one moment

While Mr. .Johnson’s program is
sure to appeal to the educated musi-
cian he understands too, that moot
of the members of his audience baa
not beln trained is that line, and
plans his selection of numbers
accordingly. He never tries to
high-brow his audience but gives
a brilliant, entertaining program
whose merit is recognized by every-
one. 4<
Mr. Johnson studied at the Hor-
ner Institute of Fine Arts in Kan-
sas City, Missouri, aifd later under
Professor Guellth of Berlin. He
appeared in Kansas City Grand

CHAPTER IV
Mazie waited rather anxiously
for a raply* to her invitation to
Adele. She wasn't quite sure
whether she bad taken the proper
stand or not, or what ber sister
might think of her,‘end she could
seek no advice from any one, Mil-
dred* who bad been cautioned to
keep the matter a secret, seemed
infinitely glad that this famous
aunt of hers might be coming to
visit them.
"But you really don’t know her.
Mildred, dear.” Mazie bad attempts
ed to maze her daughter see the
Bight in A very parental manner.
“She Is most certainly not a woman
whose example I or your father
would like you to follow.”
"Rat what’s the matter with ber,
mother,” Mildred bad rrto^cd.
Surely,
Adele must know that Mazie had
but*one child. But then, as Addie
bad said herself, they bad not seen
each other for at lust ten years,
and they had not corresponded
So that probably
for some time. So that probably
accounted for Adele’s saying “chil-
dren" instead A Vi'ece.” And she
did hope that Adeie's visit would
have no in£u_i,c« on Mildred—
that would be the worst thing that
eonld ever happen. U the child
took after her aunt
So day after d«r Mazie waited
to release this secret that wae
gnawing at bar heart She actual-
ly counted the hounr. now until the
meeting of the Literay Society. But
ber plans were forestalled the day
before the awaited meeting.
It was a warm day just about the
first of June when Mazie started
! down the street at her usual pace,
| with her market basket over her
arm on her way to do her morn-
ing’s shopping. As fihe moved down
fhe main street she noticed a small
crowd of women gathered in a lit-
Me group, evidently bard at the
business of diseasing something.
Their heads were together, and
now and then they glanced acroes
the street at a sign poster who was
pasting up some Mage billing on

Mildred had retorted.
"She's a famous actress, and I im-
agine she’ll be perfectly lovely.”
"I can’t aajdaln to you, dear—
you’re entirely too young,” Mazie
would return with a sweep simu-
lated patience. “I Just don’t want
yon to think of bar at alL”
Which, of course, made Adda
seem the most fascinating and
most devastating creature Mildred
eonld ever imagine, and she prayed
every night that her Aunt Adele
