"There is also a settlement of the sidewalk in front of the build ing which will have to be taken care of. ltefore this is done it will be necessary to tie in the front walls.

Miss Hellamy portrays the rob' of Xnney Woods, a modern girl who makes here living as secretary to n famous divorce attorney. She, has always been cynical about mar riage because of the large alimony cheeks women clients receive from their ex-husbands.

About i hat time Nancy meets Stock uey Webb, who, despite his good looks and country manners, is a wealthy lumber king. This is her chance. Jlut Webb gels wise to Nancy, so he takes her after their wed ding to bis bun tint; lodge. The situations between the two are hi larious when Madge finds herself a full-fledged housewife in the wide open spaces.
