Copyright. 1923. by CHAPTER F161 Madge Wondered at Dicky's Changed Attitude There was no mistaking the look bf recognition that had flash ed into Mollis Fawcett's eyes at highf of Dicky. But with wonder ful poise for so young a girl, she banished it in an instant and. looking past Dicky at me, gave me just the - perfunctory, casual greeting which her former meet ing with me called for. "Good morning, Mrs. Graham," phe said in the dulcet, carefully modulated tones which had im pressed me in Mrs. Mark's apart ment.' And then, hurriedly, with no Undue appearance of haste, she went on down the stairs. Sirs. Marks held the door open for us, and I fancied that she looked queerly at Dicky. But her words were for me. ;I ,-hope. yon ain't thinkin of -hangin' apartments," she j;a'id worriedly. "I hate to get used to new neighbors and 1 see you've bevn lookin at the ones upstairs. Honest to goodness. I don't think they're half as good a.; the ones down here. Don't you agree with me, Mr. Graham?" She flashed him a look which was ludicrously coquettish, and knowing Dicky's dislike of her, 1 expected him to make a freezing reply.' But instead he gave her one of his most genial smiles. "'They're all bad enough," he returned. "But I do think these down here have" the edge on the others. However, we're not think ing1 of leaving you," he made an airy Httle bow. "We are simply taking an apartment upstairs for a few days in order to accommo date some guests." Mrs. Marks Offers to Help "OhJ '.' Mrs., MajH's .eyes i were round. Taking a whole apartment for guests, evidently did not enter into1-her scheme of life." I think I'd like to be company at your house." she went on. "Now, if there's anything I can do to help you'out" she addressed me "be sure' to let me know. The land knows there ain't much to, spare in these flats, but whatever . I've got in chairs or spoons or dishes, I'll be glad to help out." "Thank you so much," I mur mured gratefully, and then she finally got herself down the corri dor, with another furtive look at Dicky. Ve were safely inside our own living-room with the door shut be fore either of us spoke. "She's a rough worker, hut she's a. kindly soul, isn't she?" The commendatory words were so i far distant from his former criticisms of Mrs. Marks that I filed the . comparison' as another bit of data in the problem which I sensed was ready to confront me whenever I should have the time and' courage to tackle it. I had resolved to betray no hint of my feeling to Dicky, but, I could not resist one tiny feminine jab. "I thought you'd revise your opinion of her when you saw more of her' I said demurely. "Aren't you glad of this splen diferous opportunity to say 'I told you so, " he demanded gaily. Then with apparent nonchalance he ad ded, 'tWhat an old pal for Mrs. Marks that girl appeared, didn't she?" "Why?" I asked with wide-eyed Inquiry. She's the Very Type" "Oh, I don't know. Such a dif ferent type, so distinctively Latin and, judging from her. voice and manner she is several dozen notch es ahead of our Petey's spouse in education and breeding." . i ".Whatever she has of either, ch owes to Mrs. Marks. I re turned. "She is the girl of whom I told you whose relatives were nil "killed in a ffre. Mrs. Marks and her mother brought her up. Indeed, her very name. Mollie Fawcett. was twisted by Mrs. Marks out of the unpronounce able syllables which the child owned. "Well, you can't dispute that our frowsy friend has a pretty taste in monikers," he returnd. "Mollie Fawcett!" He repeated the name musingly. "That's a pip pin, but can you imagine anything more incongruous than the name and the girl? She ought to have a guitar, that one, and be named Kosita well, what do .you know about that?" he addressed the op posite wall fervently. I asked no questions as to what he meant. He would not have heard me if I had. He Was utter ing little, jerky, disjointed phras es. "Now how did I cl to think of that combination I won der if it. could be worked she's the very type, all right." 1 stole away to the kitchen un heeded. Well I know iron experi ence what the sudden excitement portended. He had seen iu Mollie Fawcett's extraordinary beauty the type which he had been seek ing for jiome book illustration, and he would not rest until he had se cured her cousent to pose for the drawings.

If this is done no change would be made in the administration's slen der majority. It is indicated that the sixty- ninth session of the senate will be one or more than usual historical import. The principal reason is the probability that open warfare between the body and the White House will break out. It isn t a matter of party politics, but of constitutional right, and a feeling on the part ot the senate that it must fight to prevent the curbing of its powers by the chief executive. Having tastei blood in its last session, the upper house is ready for the fray. Theoretically it is a Republican senate, but the Progressives or in surgent senators who broke away from the party leash in the mat ter of the confirmation of Charles Beerher Warren of Michigan as attorney general :;re likely to do so again on other matters. They are essentially of an independent breed. All the concrete work having been completed on the Elsinore.

The men have been working rapidly during the past week tearing down the various forms that con tained the concrete. The boards of the forms have i been torn completely from the stage walls with the exception of the fire walls. The boards have j also been torn completely from the inner- and outer forms con taining the auditorium walls. The forms from the fire walls of the auditorium have not yet been torn down, either. The men were at work all day Saturday tearing down the forms enclosing the artistic front walls of the building. The two wings of the tower are now bare, and over hair the main tower has been stripped of it forms. The most difficult work, according to the men on the job, is that of tearing don the forms in the in terior of the theatre, the inner walls of the tower, and the forms to the rear of the mezzan ine floor. Work of tearing down the forms holding the huge concrete balcony has not yet been started, although it is expected that this work will be commenced before the end of this week. The bal cony is of solid concrete, and will be the most modern in Salem. The mezzanine balcony, the only one of its kind In Oregon, has set; and work will be started immedi ately tearing down its forms. One of the most marked ad vances during the past week ha? been that made on the roof. A week ago Saturday the men had just barely put In its place the one truss over the balcony to sup port the roof and the ceiling. But during the week, and up till yes terday, the three large trusses over the main auditorium have been put completely in their pjlaces. The boards to receive the roof have been laid over the top per part of the balcony, and it is expected that the board;? to re ceive the roofing will be laid over 9 i j"r built to. hold the chute through which the concrete waa fed to the various parts of the building, has been converted into a huge der-t rick, that is, being used for the purpose of lifting lumber froiri the improvised mill on the north side of the theatre tu the men at work on the roofing. 7$ Z " f - -V! , ; - r VLx i , - i for Qiildren William de Mille has made something new and particularly appeal ing in comedies, a production with a homey, family-circle atmosphere that is typically American.

The story is woven around just the sort of family most Americans are completely familiar with, yet seldom give a second ti'ouht. the entire auditorium before the expiration of another week. The rafters have been placed over the balcony also, so that this part of the building is now ready to re ceive the ceiling. The boards to receive the final rcolihg have also been placed in parts over tne stage. it is ex pected that the inside form work of the stage will be torn down this week.

K. Tully, and Mrs. r. P. IMshon. Statewide series of parties have been underway for some time marking the interest of Oregon women in raising funds for this Presbyterian Self-Help College. Parties have been taking place throughout southern and eastern Oregon, and in Portland, many cities in the Willamette valley having completed their work. In giving these parties, the ori ginal hostess invites a given num ber of guests, each of whom con tributes $1 and agrees to play hostess, in turn, to a group of women, men or children one less in number, so that the parties ultimately ' vanish," each partici pant having contributed $1 and given one party. Organization plans in Kalem are now progressing rapidly and. ac cording to Mrs. Tully. first invita tions will soon be sent out.
