If so, you are diplomatic.
And a born fixer.
You avoid trouble.
And rarely make an issue.
But you get your way.
Because you are clever.
You manage people in a kindly

You know what you want
And get it in the sanest way.
You have great confidence.
You know you will succeed.
That is the secret of your powen.
You inspire trust.
And loyalty.
You are artistic to a limited de*

And dextrous with your hands.
You love lightly.
And escape much trouble.
You like home life.

With troubled eyes, May watched
the train as it slid out of the sta-

only she could have just a minute
or two more to talk with her—!
What had the frivolous little but-
ternly-woman been trying to tell
her. That Dan and Waterbury and
the mysterious “Oliver M. Brunell''
were a triumvirate that worked to-
gether to put over shady stock
deals? That they were out-and-

The cure for self importance, of
course, is travel. I have known
men of real accomplishments to
leave town for a year and when
they return find that not even their
cronies at the club know they had
been away. They tell of one New
Yorker who spent 18 years hunt-
ing big game in Africa.
Upon the third day of his return
he dropped Into a familiar rendez-
vous. "Been away?” said a white-
aproned drink mixer. "Haven't
seen you for a week or so.” The
last time I was in my home town
the oldest inhabitant asked me if
I was still setting type.
Offhand in my own trade I can
think of five writers who were at
the top of the heap ten years ago.
Two of them wrote best sellers
and yet you do not see their names
in magazines or on novels today
Fame has accomplished the usual
flit.
The stage is perhaps the quickest
medium of all in shunting favor-
ites from opulence to obscurity. In
looking through an old program
book of a friend I found at least
twenty names that blazed in lights
today.
Even Mark Twain was unknown
by a neighbor. He was having a
party and late at night after
guests departed he’sat on the steps
of his home on lower Fifth Avenue
I L., ONE OF our favorite con-
tribs, writes from Mexico: "I
am so busy seeing, hearing, tasting
and smelling that I have no time
for writing, but when I return I’ll
have a more wonderful tale to tell
than the men of Bible days told
when they brought grapes from
Jerico. But there are no roads in
Mexico, and I HAVE been riding a
burro and a home-made wooden
saddle. My kodak and my gun are
equally respected, but mostly I
have found good friends.”
FRED KREBS, WHO is among
the candidates for th© hardest
working man in Austin, is going
down on the border in a few days.
Just for the thrill of being in Mex-
ico. But Krebs, unlike L. L, has
no idea of venturing too far into
the interior of Mexico. "I haven't
that much time," he says.

timer’"
Sucdenly Waterbury stopped, and
shook her hand from his arm. He
faced her with angry eyes. "I don't
get all this engagement ring stuff.”
he said, "I should think you'd wait
until I bought one and presented it
to you, as a lover should. Instead
of trying to black-pack me into
buying one for you!—You act just
like the cheapest little gold-digger
alive!”
•'Well, that's a sweet thing to say
to me—when you have thousands
of dollars of mine!” May exclaim-
ed “If there's any gold digging
going on around here, you're do-
ing it with your own little shovel—”
Waterbury threw back his head
and laughed. “What a little spit-
fire it is!" he said, drawing her
arm through his, and pulling her

Dolores reigned aa queen Both died
tragically. One from polson and
the other in flames. No crop of
stage beauties since that era haa
surpasned them.
Fully appreciating the fact that
they had the censors, figuratively
writing in the very best of English
vernacular, "by' the seat of the
pants,” the producers have gone the
limit in suggestive situations in
"Her Slater From Paris."
Entirely dependent on one thread,
the story is of a man. played by
Ronald Colman, who carries on a
flirtation in a bedroom with a
woman whom he does not know is
his wife.
And the wife, so to speak, having
her husband in the same situation
the censors find themselves, "by the
seat of the trousers," does her femi-
nine worst at his expense.
Colman proves a versatile actor
in this movie mixture. Heretofore
he has been considered a dramatic
player, throbbing his cinema best
when death and life surrounded
him. In Connie's picture he cleverly
portrays the role of a light co-
median.

She sat waiting on a marble
bench in the lobby while Herbie
went over to the desk to inquire
about his package. Her eyes fol-
lowed his tall, well-clothed body.
Yes, he was good looking in a ma-
ture way—
.Not the man of her dreams, ex-
actly, but a very good imitation!
And what was th© man of her
dreams like, anyway—? May won-
dered. Once upon a time he had
been the boy who sat behind her in
school; and later on he had been a
movie actor she had seen onlv on
the screen. Then there had been a
reckless love affair with Jim Ca-
rewe. . . .
“I suppose there Isn't any out-
standing love affair in anybody's
life," May thought dreamily, as she
watched Herbie come back across
the lobbs- toward her. “We have a

Carlotta had said.
Good heavens, thought May, this
was a fine time to tell her a thing
like that—when she had Just turn-
ed over to Herbie every sou she
had in the wide green earth! She
groaned aloud as she thought of
what she had done—
The fur coat she wore, the dia-
mond-studded watch on her wrist,
the black pearl ring—these repre-
sented her whole fortune—these,
and the 814,000 she had signed over
to Waterbury.
Moreover she owed a large bill
at the hotel. She hadn't even paid
for the orchids that were pinned to
the soft, scented fur of her coat.
Nor for the dinner she had given
last night in honor of her engage-
ment to Herbie!
“Oh, what a fool I was to part
with that money!” she thought
wildly, “Women are such simps—
they ought never to be allowed to
handle their own money. Some
lawyer or other ought to do it for
them—or a guardian—"

“Why—what else did Carlotta have
to say about me?"
“Nothing much,” May answered
calmly, “except that you were a
bachelor, like Dan. And that you
and he were in on a lot of shady
deala with a man named 'Oliver M.
Brunell'.”
“Oliver M. Brunell—never heard
of such a man,” said Waterbury.
May laughed. "I thought you said
he was the man who gave that cane
to your father,” she said. "You see.
those are his initials—O. M. B.' ”
At that instant her eye fell upon
the letter he was holding in his
hand. It was a pale, blue, official-
looking letter, and upon it was type

Ths flight of birds southward

an early falL While It is true
that birds travel ahead of a cold
wave, only water birda such as
ducks and geeea await the ap-
proach of winter before migrating
to southern waters. They are apt
: to stay north as long as feeding
grounds are good, the weather
permitting. But not eo with aong
birdh. Their sole mtsalon in the
north appeara to be to rear their
young where they are less ex-
posed to reptillan life which
nbounds to the southward, or-
nithologists frequently go a long
ways for some esoteric reason
such as an Inatinct brought down
from the glaclal age, but the fact
that the migratory bird leaves
the north aa noon i aa its young
la able to shift for themselves
and while food is yet plentiful
makes plausible the theory that
nesting is ths main purpose of
the northern sofourn. They lehve
the warm south where food la
plentiful and pueb northward in
the soring, sometmes to perish
in bllzzards, where they build
. their nests while the snake is yet
stiff from winter and where ala-
. turbing vermin have been de-
atroyed.

have been mistaken. That was
highly possible: she had a way of
only half-lstening to what was
said to her.
Certainly Herbie looked like any-
thing but a crook. His blue eyes
had a frank, open way of looking
at you He had the air, always, of
a man who had nothing to conceal
—and yet, wasn't there a slack,
cruel droop to his lips? Sometimes,
they laughed unpleasantly, too-
Yes, It would be better to get the
money, if possible. And the way to
do it. May decided, was to pick out
the largest, most expensive diamond
engagement ring in Atlantic City
at once, and to see to it that Her-
bie paid cash for it! She could do
that without hurting his feelings.
She glanced at the little watch
on her wrist—ten, minutes after
seven. It was Sauray night and
- of th© old text, might never ob-
serve the difference. Whatever
the verdict of the public may be
little flirtation here, and a little
thrill there, and first thing we know
we re old and cold and gray. And
that’s about all there is to it!”
But, while she was saying it to
herself, she knew it wasn’t true.
She remembered her own widow-
ed mother who had loved the mem-
ory of the father whom May had
never seen, as May, herself, had
never loved any man in the flesh!
. . She remembered Sunday after-
noons of her childhood, when she
had gone with her mother to a lone-
ly corner of Oakwood cemetery to
tend the flowers on her father's
grave. She remembered how her
mother had cried on those distant
Sunday afternoons, and how she
had cried, too, not knowing why.
Yes, it must be given to some
women to really care for a man . . .
“But not to me," May told her-
self with a kind of triumph, “I
must be hard as nails!”
Waterbury shook his head as he
came up to her. “No, my package
hasn't arrived,” he said, with a
mock tragic air. “Nothing for me
but a letter. Do you think you can
wait for your engagement ring i ntll
Monday without cracking under the
strain?”
“Well, I’ll do my best.” May
promised him, and as he sat down
beside her, she slipped her hand into
his. “Herbie, tell me something:
Why didn't you ever give your first
wife that ring of your mother's
for her engagement ring?”
Herbie was silent for a minute or
two. “Well, you see,” he began at
last. "My mother was still living
16 years ago when my wife and I
were married. And naturally she
wanted to keep the ring so long as j
she lived."
“I see.” May nodded her head
musingly. “The reason I asked you
was because Carlotta says you nev-
er had a wife. She says you haven’t
a daughter either . . . and she also
says that you have no farm up
near Pittsfield! . . . Now, what have
you got to say to that!”
Waterbury opened his mouth to
speak, ran his tongue over his dry
lips, and then leaned back sudden-
ly. as if someone had given him a
push.
“Why—-what?” he stammered.
