Modernists Claim Victory ^«lroint to Dropping of Heresy Trial of Dr. Lee W. Heaton. lly Associated Pr«#. New York, Dee. 19.—Those close to the fundamental faction in the Pro testant Episcopal church were inclined today to view the current issue with tho modernists as being on the poirt of passing from nubile view. But others who claim the confidence of the modernists said the issue would be continually pressed until it comes be fore the next general convention of the church at New Orleans. In the other churches concerned, chiefly the Preshyteriap and Baptist, the issue now is not being so forclbiv fought and observers anticipated only the continual development of the op posing sides. The Presbyterian con troversy is expected to growr Ui force until it reaches the general con vention next spring. Bandit Ramili Poisoned. London, Dec. 19.—Another report of the death of Mulai Ahmed Kaisuli, the notorious brigand chief of Morocco, reached London today from the Tan glers correspondent of the Daily Mail. There is a suspicion, says the Tele gram, that Rnisull was poisoned. 1.00 Fancy Ribbon Garters. 65c 2.00 Fancy Ribbon Carters. . 1.25 J.75 ami 12.&0 Wool Sweaters 6.75 25.00 Astrnchan .lacguettes.. 14.38 35.00 Misses’ Sport Coats. . . 19.98 4 1818 F'arnam Listen in on a NEUTRODYNl] The Lateit and Beat in Radir Ask for Demonstration Auto Electric and Radio Corporation 2813 Harney St. Omaha Absolutely Pure Imported POMPEIAN OLIVE OIL Makes the most delicious mayonnaise and French dressing lOOO FREE GIFTS No Purchase Necessary AU Omaha home owner* who properly fill out and bring or fiend in coupon at bottom of ad before December 21 will receive a gift useful in any home.

I.aurel goes on a visit to her fa* Her In New York mill he lease* her at the home of Mr*. Morrison, a friend, while he is away on a trip to Chicago. • (Continued from Yesterday.) Prepared as her eheeks may have been, Stella was taken by surprise when somebody leaned across the lit tle table which Rhe had selected ba side the wall-mirrors and drawled In a masculine voice, "Weill” She knew It was Alfred Munn be fore she looked up. Nobody else In the world could say “Well,” like that. All sorts of Interesting Implications were packed into the single exclama tion. She glanced up and replied briefly, her blue eyes sparkling at him. “Hello.’" She didn’t like Ed Munn. Stephen had been right. He was cheap. It showed now that he wasn't dressed in his riding clothes any more. But even if she didn’t like him very much, she couldn't be horrid to him. Stella Dallas couldn't be horrid to anybody whose eyes flattered her like that! “What are you doing here?’’ he asked in a kind of caressing tone, as irresistible to the lonely Stellu as food by whomever offered if she were hungry. "I'm waiting for you!” her voice caressed hack at him. Oh, a little harmless flirting was the one thing she needed to restore her wilted spirits! Alfred Munn smiled at her, show ing a row of little crooked yellow teeth. His face craackled up into a hundred pleased wrinkles. Attention from the opposite sex was as wel come to him as it was to Stella. He. drew out the chair opposite Stella, thinking, as he did so, “What have I got on for this afternoon any how? Only two appointments; I can cancel 'em.” What he said was, as he sat down. "Where's the off spring?” Stella thought, "Dear hie! How thrilling! He's going to stay!” But out loud she said, "Just shipped her to New York.” “You alone?" Alfred Munn ex claime.d "Unattached? No string tied to you?" Stella, pouting a little, looking pa thetic on purpose, nodded. "All alone No string. Not a .thread.” Alfred Munn drew In a deep breath. Let It out audibly. "My! This is my lucky day, I guess," he ejaculated. "We're going to have lunch together—you and I, and go to a show afterwards. Did you know it?” Stella, casting down her eyes, and toying with the silver, shook her head. No. She didn't know it. "Well," masterfully, "you know it now. Here, pass me that menu." She obeyed with exaggerated docil ity. "Have your ,own way. I'm help less when you're around. Do with me as you wish," her manner im plied. It pleased Alfred Munn. He sum moned a waiter with an arrogant motion of his hand, tossed the menu aside, as wholly beneath his notice, and frownlngly ordered cocktails— this was before prohibition—oysters and soup. Then he leaned across the table and suddenly became all soft sauvlty. The contrast was effective. "How’ve you been?” he asked. “Oh, pretty well," Stella purred. Any one could make Stella purr who stroked her like that. "How are things going." h« in quired in his terribly intimate man ner. “Ob, pretty well, I guess." she purred again, and glanced up, her big Delft-blue eyes gazing straight into Alfred Munn'* little pig-like spots of, brightness, rimmed round with the puffy lids. ‘‘I don't care," Stella thought ‘to herself in defense of the things she was allowing her bold eyes to imply to Alfred Munn. "It's only for to day, and I'm perfectly uware( of what he is—-dissipated, rotten old thing, probably. Doesn't hurt me any if he is. I’m beyond hurting now. He's better than nobody." Stella had almost forgotten what a cocktail tusted like. How it did bring back the good old happy days, when everyliody admired und flattered, just as Alfred Munn was doing now. For he was doing just that to Stella— overdoing it a little. Well, she could stand a little overdoing in that line. It had been so long since any man iiad found her attractive! Or. at least, since any man had told her so. She had begun to fear that age had got a grip on her at last which she couldn't loosen, however much she strained. Men hated old women. Alfred Munn restored her self confi dence wonderfully. He found her pleasing. He found her desirable. He told her the very sight of her made him feel young again. Asked her how in the world she did it. How she managed to keep her wonderful peaches-and-cream appearance. She didn’t look to him a day over 25! "Oh," thouglit Stella, feeling all warm and comforted inside, "if only ho could see me in an evening gown!" As she preceded him out of the restaurant she was as pleased with the present-moment excitement, the present-moment attentions, as a young girl of 16 on the way to her first matinee with an admtving suit or. Her pleasure was almost as inno cent, too. O Alfretj Munn selected for the after noon's entertainment a popular mu sical farce. Stella adored a musical farce with ail the bold gay costumes The seats he bought were aisle seats —the liost in the house, three rows from the front. As Stella settled her self for the two hours and a half of pleasure in store for her, she was keenly conscious of her nearness to the stage, to the orchestra. How good it did seem to the be right down In the midst of things again! When the curtain rolled up on the first act amidst the loud fanfare of triumpets, which Stella could feel tingle inside her, she was filled witjt gratitude to Alfred Munn. Why, she calculated, already his kindness to her had cost him something like $15—$20 possibly. How much were cocktails and wines now, anyhow, and Porterhouse steaks? She mustn’t be disappointing to him. She mustn't edge away from Alfred Munn's overlapping arm and shoulder. She must remember her age. Nine teen Can afford to be as stand offish as it chooses, but not 39. Besides, in one way It was gratifying to Stella that Alfred Munn wanted to sit so close. She Iiad been afraid of late that there was nothing but tiny wrinkles and double chins left of her. But there was—there was! Alfred Munn knew women. Alfred Munn made Stella feel that there was lots else left. She talked and laughed, eyes shin ning, and cheeks hot and flushed beneath the powder. Occasionally laurel's serious face, crowned with the unfamiliar toque with the berries on one side, interrupted, shoved itself between her and the stage, between hr and Alfred Munn. The toque made her look frightful ly like a young lady. She was grow ing up. No doubt about that. Stella hadn't seen her cry since—she couldn't remember since when Funny kid. Just got silent and horribly quiet Instead of letting the tear* of a year or two ago well up In her eyes and spill over. • Of late she, Stella, was the one who did the cry ing for the two of them. Rut she mustn't get teai-y. here, now, for heaven's sake! , Laurel would be about at New I^ondon now, Stella calculated, N'dw Haven, Bridgeport later, New York pretty soon, walking up the long granolithic walk, with the bits of mica in it, sparkling like tiny stars beneath the white artlfical light; looking for Stephen; seeing him; greet ing him; sitting in a taxicab beside him. They always- took a taxicab. Queer, thought Stella, how the very sight of her present eRcort used to irritate Stephen. It wfluld be in teresting to Alfred Munn, she guessed, and flattering to him, too, If he had a notion how much he used to be dis cussed between Stephen and herself. Stephen was always making such queer mistakes aliout her little affairs, picking out somebody she really didn't care a straw about, like Alfred Munn. for instance, to get stuffy over, and remaining undisturbed by the atten tions from men*who really Interested her. Alfred Munn, Indeed! A riding teacher! That was what he had been, In Milhampton seven years ago. The smartest women in town took lessons of him. So did Stella. And the smartest women in town were keen about him. or pretended to be Na turally they weren’t any of them seriously keen about Alfred Munn The other women's husbands under stood. But Stephen wouldn't. It was ridiculous, absurd. Stella told Stephen so dozens and dozens of times. But he would persist in making a moun tain out of a molehill. That was how Mrs. Holland de scribed Stephen's attitude. There was no woman In Milhampton more the fashion than Mrs. Holland at that tim-e. Stella had been immensly pleas ed by her friendship. Every word she uttered was to Stella like the wlsdonj of an oracle. “Husbands need a lot of training, my dear,” she had told Stella after a burst of confidence from Stella one afternoon. “Don't let yourself become a doormat. Husbands don't respect doormats, in the loung run. Teach him that you can look at another man without wanting to elope with him. And get him used to the Idea that you aren't blind to every other masculine creature in the world but himself. Such an attitude keeps them lovers, makes them alert, at tentive, my dear." But it didn’t seem to keep Ste phen a lover. It didn't make Stephen alert and attentive. It worked just the other way with him. 3 These reflections did not possess Stella In the theater. It was later, alone on the train, returning to her beach hotel that she glanced Into her past. She didn't allow herself to do so frequently. It didn't make her any happier. Things had been so rosy, so promising 10 years ago—so far beyond her most extravagant girlhood dreams. And now—now! Resolutely she turned her thoughts to other things. She was to meet Alfred Munn again the following Saturday for lunch and another matinee. 'Vyhat should she wear? The sudden nece sitv of a new early-fall hat gave her a ilttle thrill of delight. There was nothing In the world Stella enjoyed more than a morning spent in Boston at the expensive up town shops, pricing and trying on hats, followed by an afternoon in the downtown department stores buy ing -buckram, wire, velvet, feathers, ornaments, flowers and what not, and the long inspiring day afterwards shut up in her room moulding with her clever fingers, a copy of soms little eem that far-away artist In Paris had. conceived. When Stella said goodbye to Laurel, her plan to spend two hours In the shops had not been an exclt Ing prospect to her. It was stupid to shop if you had nothing you had to buy. The chance meeting with Alfred Munn provided Stella with the necessary incentive to start the ma chlnery of her creative genius going. She would have to have a new dress, too. Perhaps Rhe could pick up gome summer silk thing marked down, and pep it up with some black Burgess-Hash Company "EVERYBODY*? STOKE." ' .

When he had put her aboard her train, he had told her that If she didn't object to leaving the seashore for the city frequently he was going to keep her from getting lonely, if she'd let him. while the kid was away.
