El gh it od PAGE SEVEN LOVE SHY - Installment Thirty-five Adelaide's Offer Janet knew where Adelaide lived and old affection had prompted her to go there several times after work in an attempt to see her former friend Each time Adelaide had been out and Janet had gone away with mis- givings for the other girls she saw in the apartment house wheré Adelaide had taken a small flat were not pro- possessing. Since Adelaide ' had shown no sign of having received the messages she left, Janet decided that she wished to be left alone. So it was with real surprise that she an- swered a telephone call from Ade- lide the day after her visit to Mil- red. : "Come over and eat with me to- night, won't yotr, Janet?" Adelaide asked. "Of course I will, I'd love to," Janet agreed cordially. "Then come right after work, and, Janet, prepare yourself for a sur- prise. [I've got something for you that can make all your dreams come irue--d'ye hear?" Janet laughed, "Yes, I hear, but don't believe you." "Just you wait till you get here," and Adelaide hung up abruptly so that Janet could not 'tell whether she was offended at her doubting toné or not, It was a little after 6 when she rang the bell of Adelaide's apart- ment, an apartment on the fringe of the Village where most of the psuédo intellectuals and the young people who want to lead their own lives to the tune of gin and. wild parties have retreated, A very fat colored maid opened the door and Janet stepped in after her. "In here, honey," Adelaide's voice sang out. "Daphne, you get that dinner ready quick or I'll boil you _ in oil--step lively, mind--come on in Janet, *I have to talk that way or that lazy black skirt never would get anything done." Janet went into the bedroom and found her friend sitting in front of her dressing table setting the wave in her hair, She kissed her warmly, even while her nose objected violent- ly to the quantity of perfume Ade- laide wads using. "It sure is good to see you again, darling," Adelaide Heclared when the last wave had been set to her satis- faction, "I've been so busy and so hot and so tired these days I just haven't had a minute for you, but you're here--the same old By Barbara Webb She smiled in a tolerant way as though she knew a great many things now that Janet never drea of, and pity smote Janet at the false gods Adelaide was worshipping. Even in the few weeks since she left home Adelaide had changed, grown fatter, coarsened. She squeezed herself into a very tight and very shiny black satin dress and led the way .to the second room of the apartment, where Daphne had' laid a slovenly table service on a rather rickety card table. "No room for a dining table," Ade- laide complained, "but pretty soon I'll move to a bigger place and have some real stuff again. Daphne, how many times have I told you to give us a clean cloth and napkins when there's company ? Believe you me, the first thing I'll do when I move is get rid of you." "Yes ma'am, sure do," Daphine said good humoredly, but making no effort to substitute clean napkins for the rumpled ones she had put at their places. The New Plan Adelaide seized a large cocktail shaker which stood prominently on the table and cried, "Now let's get the set up and then we can talk--oh, come on, Janet, this is the best gin you can buy. It wouldn't hurt a baby, I ought to know, I drink it instead bf water, don't I Daphine ?" "Yes, ma'am, sure do," Daphne an- swered. "I'l take one," Janet. said smiling and watching Adelaide pour out the golden liquid into the cocktail glasses. "You'll take one and I'll take three," Adelaide laughed, tossing down hef first drink and pouring her- self a second, which she immediately swallowed, "Umm, now 1 feel like something human again. Bring on the pork chops, Daphne, and if you've burned them again I'll sling them at you." But the pork chops were surpris- ingly well done and all the food Daphine served was delicious. What- ever her shortcomings in other things might be she knew how to cook. Janet spoke of this, "Yep that's the reason I keep her, but just wait till my new scheme goes over. I'm going to get a Jap butler, one who's taken a complete L.course in cocktails, see?" "Tell me about this new plan of yours," Janet said. She grew more and more uncomfortable at Adelaide's boisterous manner and longed to have dinner finished so she could go home. "It's some plan," said Adelaide, planting her elbows on the table.

You see, Tony and me are pretty good friends, He's been swell to me, he explained how Butch never really owned the Blue Butter fly, but just used it for a blind for his real racket. Tony got me this apart- ment and sent Daphne to me. He's been a swell friend. Now he's got hold of some money--some rich sugar papa that likes me pretty well wants to put it up, and it's our idea to open a real night club--the swellest in town with absolutely no rough stuff, flowers on the table, and candles and big-time acts from the theatres for entertainment. We'll have a $10 apiece cover charge and real good food, but terribly expensive, like $6 for a Jobster and $4 for chicken salad. And $2 a bottle for ginger ale. We're not going to sell any liquor in the club, but to customers we're sure of we'll give a certain address near- by where they can get it--that's go- ing to be my end of it. I know who a lot of Butch's old customers are Jand it ought to go over big with lots of cash for all of us." "But 1 can't understand," Janet began, bewildered. "I don't sce how this concerns me at all" "l Just Can't" "Wait a minute, let me tell you the rest. This place is going to have class, see? Everything swell and re- fined, and the best entertainment and a wonderful orchestra for danc- ing and all that. Well, we want to have a hostess, some one, who séts the tone of the place, We're going to have a French headwaiter, but we want some one, a girl, who's not so much good-looking as swell-looking, terribly smart clothes and all that. That's the job I've picked for you, Tony says we'll pay you a hundred a week and a percentage. Of course you'll have to buy a lot of swell clothes and keep up a Park avenue apartment, that's all part of the game. But you'll more than break even, and think of the chances you'll have for meeting the real stuff--men with money and position. Why, you'll probably marry a millionfire from the social register in less than a year, Remember, Janet, everything in the club is going to be strictly on the level. Isn't that a wonderful chance?" Janet leaned forward and took Adelaide's hand in hers, "I can't be- gin to tell you, Adelaide, how much I appreciate your doing this, asking me to fill this place. But I can't do it. I'm not fitted for it. 1 wouldn't like it. It's wonderfully good of you to ask me, but truly, Adelaide, I'm far happier as I am than I would be as hostess at your club." Adelaide jerked her "You're .a fool, Janet," shortly. "I'm terribly sorry, dear, but I just can't. And, don't you see, Adelaide, that you are going sooner or later, to be in bad trouble yourself? You can't keep a liquor station such as you say you are going to run, quiet for very long. You just can't do it. Oh, I wish you would give up these wild ideas and come back to work-- come back and live with us if your father and mother want to stay in West Virginia." Adelaide laughed, "Not me. I'm off that home and mother stuff for life, I'm going to make money, I tell you, lots of it. I'm going to have a good time, and live--" the effects of her drinking were evident now in her voice and manner. Janet looked at her sadly. The old Adelaide, care- less, happy-go-lucky, but honest and true, was gone. In her place sat this rather frowsy woman with the hard voice and eyes glittering with drink, Janet made ready to leave, "Good- by, Adelaide," she said. "I hope you'll be very successful in your new ven- ture--" On an impulse Janet kissed her and for one brief moment the old Adelaide clung to her - as though afraid of the life she was rushing into, pellmell, regardless of conse- quences. Then she shook herself free, "So long," she said casually, and as Janet passed out of the door, out of Ade- laide's life, she saw her lift the cock- tail shaker for the last golden drop of gin and orange juice, free, said hand she (To Be Continued Tomorrow) "You must find living in the city dreadful, after snen ne ur life up no now so pleasantly in the com What do you miss most:" "My pocketbook and my watch,""-- Pele Mele, Paris. | Stock Market ; Prices Markey Summary by Canadian Press Toronto and New York Stock Quotations Supplied by Biggar and Crawford, STANDARD MINING EXCHANGE 'Toronto, Feb, 19.~Both price move ments and trading on the mining market during the early session were particularly listless, the period being one of the dullest experienced in some time. The lack of constructive news 1s considered partially respon- sible for the absence of action and the waiting attitude of the general public is also having its effect in re- duced. activity. About the only point of interest was the continued softncss in the Lindsley - Group, Sherritt Gordon, whose annual meeting is being held this afternoon, dropping 16 to $2.75, and losing most of the ground, re- gained late yesterday. Falconbridge was just holding, while Sudbury Ba- sin and Ventures receded 5 each to $3.65 and $2.20, respectively. International Nickel was the strong est issue among them higher priced groups, Noranda and Hudson Bay easing a quarter cach on very light demand. 'the large increase shown in stocks of refined copper during January has had an effect which is only partially offset by the decrease shown in the production rate. Teck Hughes displayed the only firmness in the golds, selling up 10 to $6.35 with turnover relatively small, Wright-Hargreaves osttened 4, and Howey and Kirkland Lake gold ex- hibited slight losses at noon. The Pacific group, with the excep- tion of Big Missouri which dropped a point, was unchanged. and some small gains appeared in the general list. Amulet sold up 4, Towagmac 5, Manitoba Basin 2, and Abana and Siscoe a point each. Mining Corp. moved back to its old levels around $3, showing a loss of 5 at $3.05 at noon, The oils were mixed, Ajax gain ing 2 while Home Oil fell 10 and Alberta J. TORONTO STOCKS Toronto, Ont., Feb, 19.--A gen- eral betterment in tone marked trading on the Toronto stock ex- change this morning. After days of listless trading dyring which prices sank continually lower, the market late yesterday took heart under the stimulating influence of active buying in 'Brazilian and Capada "wire and cable "B." This quickened interest carried over this morning, though buying switched from yesterday's leaders to other stocks today, chiefly Inter- national Nickel and Walkers, The Utilities maintained their gains made, however, and Brazilian at midday was selling near the high of yesterday, and more than a point above the close last night, Bel Telephone was up a point and C.P.R., came out at 217, the bid price at Tuesday's close. The advance in Walkers was es- pecially well-received by market followers. The liquor stocks have been a drug on the market and Walkers has found a steady resist- ance to any advance above 10; yet this morning the price finally broke through that figure, rising to a high of 10%, Distillers-Seagram also moved upward with Walkers, sell- ing % of a point higher at 114, Nickel climbed to 39 by easy stages and Noranda made a small gain, though turnover was light. The oils were not accorded any het- ter support, though on the other hand trading dwindled to a nom- inal figure. The demand which several days ago carried Supertest upward renewed today and the price shot up over two points, Ab- itibi advanced a point to 32, Brom- pton sold at £64. Canadian Dredge still was soft and Consolidated Bakeries declin- ed 'again, selling under 205 this morning. TORONTO LIVESTOCK Toronto, Feb, 19--Cattle trade continued active on the Dominion Tivestock Exchange with prices holding firm. Handy weight but. chers sold from $8.00 to $10.25 Baby beefs sold up to $13.50, Bulls Alger Building, Ushawa were steady. Calves were steady at {$14.00 to $14.50 for choice. Hogs unsettled with bids 25¢ lower for the week at $13.00 f.0.b., for bacons or $14.25 off-car. Lambs steady at $12.50 for good ewes and wethers. Sheep steady. CHICAGO GRAIN Chicago, Feb. 19.--Wheat prices here ranged lower early today, ow- ing largely to indifference which the Liverpool market showed re- garding yesterday's advances on this side of the Atlantic, Argen- tine shippers were reported as pressing to sell abroad at quota- tions below competitors. Opening 4 to 1%off, Chicago wheat future deliveries afterward continued to sag. Corn, oats and provisions were also easier, with corn starting 1 to 4 down, and subsequently holding near to the initial figures, CHICAGO GRAIN OPENING Chicago, Feb. 19,--Wheat: Mar. 1.13%; May 1.17%; July, 1.19; Corn: Mar., 86%; May, 89%: July, 91; Oats: Mar, 423%; May 447%; July, 42%.
