THE CATA8TROPHE
SHE'D been right It had been tun
to return to the old apartment
and make a bed late at nlgbt,
laughing like a pair ot children. It
was even more (un to wake in the
morning and Quarrel over who
hould cook the breakfast than to
discover that there was nothing In
the Ice-box.
"Let'a go cuckoo," aha suggested.
80 they dressed and aallled forth
Into sun-washed streets, which
were almost empty.
"Why, ot courael It'a Sunday."
Santa solved the riddle ot their
emptiness.
They strolled In the Park and
iwatched the riders. Visited the
Metropolitan Museum. Hired a boat
;on the ornamental lake. Went to a
movlng picture In the evening. On
the walk borne, Santa Jerked bis
arm.
"How much has It cost!"
. "Less than Are dollars. Why J"
"We never needed to have gone
abroad to be bappy, Cllve. We can
1a happy anywhere."
Next morning, being Monday, In
mood ot forced cheerfulness be
aet oft to report to Mr. Cleasby
Santa was bli mascot. She bad per
uaded him, contrary to reason,
that because she was his wife no
aril could befall bim.
At parting he had asked, "What's
your program?"
Til Invent one," she bad replied
.vaguely. '
When he admitted himself to the
apartment that evening, how she
bad occupied herself was obvious.
Ruga bad been laid, photograph
frames, lamps and brlo-a-brao were
In their accustomed places. In the
Barrow hall be paused. The amell
of cooking. Voices. She bad engaged
a maid. Her persistency was daunt
ing.
"You're lata, darling," Santa wel;
feomed him. "Barely time to
change."
In the bedroom he found further
proofs ot ber devotion. Her efficient
ey astounded him. Hie clothes had
been spread out with the expertness
of a valet! shoes In the right place;
socks beside them; shirt studded;
tub. piled and scented with bath
salts. Everything orderly; nothing
forgotten.
"The return of the wage-earner!"
He frowned at himself In the mirror.
Her pretence that be was master
ot the establishment was madden
ing. This waa ber first atep toward
making the apartment again a hab
it. In each and all ot these atten-
.tlona he discerned strategy. She'd
'stolen a march on him. By subtle
flatterles she waa attempting to
Ipurchass his compliance. Having
Ipledged herself to consult him
lahe'd barged ahead as though he
'didn't figure In the ploture.
A doubt crossed bis mind: Waa he
loelng fair? Possibly this was her
'mistaken Idea of sheltering him.
The table was beautifully set. As
lie pushed In her chair, she smiled
np at him bewltchlngly.
"I've ordered everything you
like."
She was expecting him to remark
on the transformation aba bad
wrought.
"Everything I Ukel Tat In
stance?"
"Caviare, mushroom soup, squab,
ndlve salad, hot-house grapes."
"Been blowing yourself. And
orchids, by gosbl"
"After perching In hotels, being
my own housekeeper went to my
bead."
While the strange maid hovered,
conversation had to be general
jWltb the postponement ot their
problems a polite estrangement
jgrew between them. They laughed
.and chatted like chance acquaint
ances.
Wben coffee had been served and
they were alone, there was a pause.
"How did things go?" she en
quired.
"Cant Ulk here."
In the drawing room, snug with
shaded lamps and spacious with
oblongs of star-flllea sky, having ar
ranged herself deooratlvely on the
couch, ahe awaited blm.
"Hare a cigarette?" he ap
proached ber.
"Thanks, old man. Light It for me
Didn't things go well?"
"Rottenly. The firm's bust I
didn't see Cleasby. He's enjoying a
nervous breakdown. The office Is
being managed by a receiver."
FROWNS ON TAILS'
PARIS (AP) Prealdent Lebrun
has wrought a sartorial revolution
In this center of fashion.
Re firmly declined to' appear at
morning and afternoon functions In
full evening dreaa, with the red rib
bon of the Legion ot Honor acroaa
bis hard-boiled ahlrt front.
Previous pmldenta have alwaya
deemed that costume essential on of
ficial occasions, and foreign envoys
an cabinet ministers Stave had to put
on "tails" also.
Lebrun has gone bars to the "Prince

"Then bow did yon spend the
day?"
"Wandering. I was ashamed"
She blew a putt ot smoke.
"Darling, you are an ass."
"You've sold It" He started pac
ing. "I was ashamed to return to
this borne wblcb you've chosen tor
me. What right nave 1 to dine on
caviare?" He swung around. "What
right have 1 to alt at a table festive
with orchids?"
"But my dear," she poled at his
exasperation, "you're my husband.
You have every rlgnt"
That doesn't give me the right
My furthest thought when 1 mar
ried was that I would become a
gigolo."
"No one ever accused you
"Someone wllL You've forced lux
uries on me that make me ridicu
lous. Now that I'm Jobless, unless
1 live on you, we must economise. :
The extravagance of this apartment
complicates my position horribly."
In a way It does," she nodded.
Then, In heaven's name," he
burst out "why did you settle in the
moment my back was turned?"
She smiled conclllatlngly.
"But Isn't that selfish, darling?"
Her aoothlng voice pursued blm.
"Your way at present would mean
cheap lodgings. We'd both bate
them. Meanwhile, unless we could
sub-let this apartment It would
stand empty.
And then there's my side. You
married me when I was damaged
goods. It I'd shown false pride and
refused to allow you Won't
you understand my motives? This
la perhaps the only chance I'll ever
have to repay you.
The old doubt assailed blm with
regard to bis fairness. He glanced
up. Bbe looked anything but domi
nant Slim legs curled under ber,
she asked a question.
"Have 1 ever failed you?"
Evasion would have been easier.
He hesitated.
Wltb one of those shameless re
versals of which pretty women are
capable, she uttered a tinkling,
merry laugh which broke the ten
sion. Of course I have. I do things on
the impulse. When you left tbls
morning, 1 longed to restore your
sense ot security." She waved her
hands. "I slaved all day to prepare
this. Stupid of me."
Resentment faded.
"Santa dear, I'd like to; I can't
let you off. You've struck a gait
that'a beyond me."
She crossed the room and sank
against his knees.
Listen, Cllve, I know what's wor
rying you. Because Dicky sponged
on me, you're afraid to borrow. You
and Dicky aren't on the same
planet And tbere'a eometblng else;
you're angry with the world because
ot your set-back. You feel you bava
to blame somebody, I'm bandlest"
' "I can scarcely blame you tor
Cleasby'a failure."
It's what you're doing." She
caressed him. "Once you thought I
showed a lack ot faltb when you
assured me that we'd never quar
rel. Married couples can't help quar
relling. They're so Inseparable that
this sounds awful they antago
nize each other. Your antagnonlsm
has fastened on this apartment.
You don't really detest It What
you detest Is having Inherited me."
"You may be right"
She pressed more heavily against
him.
"Then don't punish me for com
ing to you second-hand."
He atroked her wavy balr. It he
surrendered, his protest would go
tor naught
"Neither ot ns wonts to be selfish.
Neither ot us wants to be bard on
tbe other. As for punishing you, the
thought never entered my head.
Your divorce has nothing to do with
my objections to living at tbe rate
ot twenty thousand a year when my
earnings are temporarily wiped
out"
"My divorce has everything to do
with It" Her eyee became bright
with tears. "In your mind, tbough,
you're unconscious ot It this apart
ment symbolises Dicky. There's no
reason why It should. It was my gift
to you."
"But you agreed wltb me, Santa,
when we were abroad.
"I still agree with you." she
dumbfounded him.
"Then what's the argument?"
She sat bock on ber heels.
"There Isn't any. The moment
you've found a borne to substitute
tor this one, I'll give np mine. But
you haven't found a home and you're
not In a position to find one. So why
not make the best ot the one we've
got You see I'm talking common
sense not poetry,"

significance In that the company
leads all other manufacturers In the
largest Industry la the world. This
la one of the major contributions
made by any American company this
year to national betterment In terms
of employment and materials con
sumption. Nearly 60,000 of the new 1933 se
ries, valued In excess of 20,000.000,
will be required for dealers' an
nouncement purposes alone, and the
manufacture of at least that number
is assured within the next few weeks.
Mr. Knudsen said. Tbls output will
entail the consumption of more than
60,000 tons of Iron and steel and the
use of large quantities of the 80 other
major commodities which go Into the
production of a new Chevrolet six,
Mr. Knudsen stated.
Aside from economic considerations,
he said that Chevrolet was embark
ing on Its 1933 program shortly, be
cause the company felt It was good
business and that satisfactory sales
volume would reward any desirable
product rightly priced and ably mer
chandised. Observance of this pol
icy during the past three years
brought Chevrolet a constantly In
creasing percentage of total available
automobile business, and In 1933
placed It In the most favorable com
parative position It has ever enjoyed
In Its 31 -year history, he pointed out.
In this three-year period the com
pany's plants, although on curtailed
schedules, never once closed for a con
tinuous shutdown exceeding 30 days,
and then only during the regular an
nual Interval between closing out of
old models and Introduction of new
ones.

CATTLE BREEDERS
KANSAS CITY, Nov, 17 (AP) The
traditions of an organization founded
50 years ago for the purpose of guard
ing the purity of a small number of
white-faced cattle were recalled last
night at the golden anniversary din
ner of the American Hereford Cattle
Breeders' association. a
The organization was founded at
Chicago by owners of a few more
than 3000 Hereford. They wished
to build a breed of cattle true to
type, a type that might be flexible
toward efficiency in meat production.
The blood of the breed was to be
kept pure by registration.
On the registration books of the
organization now are nearly half a
million white-faced cattle, represent
ing every rtate " In the unto and
Canada. About 400 members oz Uio
association attended the dinner.

1933 USE OF
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., Nov. 17.
(AP) More than 300,000,000, an in
crease of about 83 per cent is ex
pected to be spent In advertising dur
ing 1933, according to a study of
business conditions released through
Lee H. Bristol of New York, president
of the Association of National Ad
vertisers at the opening session of Its
33rd annual meeting today.
The results of the business survey
released by Mr. Bristol showed that
more than one -half the reporting
companies of the association had In
creased total sales volume In units
the past three months; 16' per cent
reported a decrease and about 10 per
cent that the sales volume had re
mained the same. The median of the
Increase in sales was approximately
23 per cent.
Aa the comparison was between the
three months of August, September
and October against the three
months previous of May, June and
July, it la noted that about one-half
of the companies reporting an In
crease attributed It to seasonal' in
fluence and about 82 per cent of the
other half of these reporting an in
crease, stated It was due to Improved
conditions In their particular trade. I
Tbe survey also showed that 85
per cent of the reporting companies
plan to Increase their appropriations
over those of 1033; 86 per cent ex
pect to spend the same amount and
22 per cent plan decreases. Member
manufacturers of drug and toilet ar
ticles plan as large or larger appro
priations In 1933 as in 1932. In -the
food and grocery classification about
one-half plan to Increase; 30 per cent
to decrease and 80 per cent to repeat
the same appropriation.
