Lieut Wood
Nets Fortune
on “Street”
Son of Governor General of
Philippines Cleans Up
$700,000 in Specu
lation.
New York, Dec. 26.—Lieutenant Os
borne Cutler Wood, 26, son of Gover
nor General Wood of the Philippinee,
has admitted making between $700.
000 and $800,000 In speculation In
Wall street securities conducted by
cable from Manila, where he is an
aide to his father, says a copyrighted
dispatch to the New York Times to
day.
The dispatch, by Richard V. Oula
han. In part, follows:
(Copyright, 1923. by The New York
Time* Co.)
(By Permission of The New York Time*.)
Manila, Dec. 24.—Lieutenant Os
borne CuUer Wood, son and aide of
Governor General Leonard Wood,
will return to the United 8tates soon,
probably by the end of January, with
the Intention of resigning his com
mission and entering the diplomatic
service.
This step Is not only In accord with
his Inclinations', but he is better able
to take It for the reason that he has
accumulated enough money through
fortunate Investments to enable him
to follow a diplomatic career inde
pendent of salary considerations.
Lieutenant Wood's streak of good
fortune begnn in September or Octo
ber of last year, when he bought
stock of the Standard Oil Company of
New Jersey Juat prior to Its sensa
tlopftl rise. Although his capital was
extremely small then, he told me to
day, the fact this 4tock rose approxl
nvately 60 points gave him profits
^^wnlch placed him In a position to
^ make further investments on a large
scale. Practically all of them were
profitable.
Stories in Circulation.
For some time storl?s have been
in circulation in New, York, Washing
ton, Chicago and Manila that Lieu
tenant Wood had engaged in heavy
investments In securities and it was
reported that he had made deposits in
New York and Chicago aggregating
$2,7501)00.
In the course of its circulation the
story some times took the phase that
these large sums had been sent from
the Philippines by Governor General
Wood.Nothing ever
appeared or has been disclosed by In
vestigation here to bear out such an
Insinuation. On the contrary' accord
ing to what I am assured in the best
Information sources. Governor General
Wood remains a man of small means,
which he Is obliged to conserve with
true frugal methods.
It was General Wood who put an
•nd to Lleutenand Wood’s financial
ventures when he learned of them.
This attitude on his part Is under
*tood to be not due to any feeling
that Lieutenant Wood's transactions
were not legitimate, but to the belief
that it was unwise that such a young
man should accumulate a fortune so
rapidly and to a desire to afford no
ground for gossip that Lieutenant
Wood's Investments were In the
Philippines . . .
Wants Nothing Concealed.
The matter of Lieutenant Wood's
^^inancial operations was brought to
PMroneral Wood's attention by me on
his return from his Java trip to
Manila in connection with the resolu
tion of Representative Frear calling
for a congressional Investigation of
the Philippines . . . General Wood
immediately sent for the lieutenant,
who was in the palace at the time
and in my presence asked him .Jo give
me all the facts of his financial ven
tures.
"I want nothing concealed.
Hardened Wall street speculators
are Inclined to the belief, the Times
says, that Lieutenant Wood must have
followed the speculative method
known as "pyramiding” or the pur
chasing of additional stock with the
profits accumulated on pa) f from a
former purchase. This method is in
daily, and often disastrous, practice
and frowned on by most conservative
members of the New \ork stock ex
change, where the stock of tire Stand
ard Oil company of New Jersey, in
which most of Lieutenant Wood's
fortune is believed to have been made,
is traded in.
Lieutenant Wood, the Times says,
is believed to have "caught” the be
ginning of the so-called dividend mar
ket in the fall of 1922 and happened
to pick out the one stock whose ad
vance was most violent and con
sistent.. This was Standard Oil of
New Jersey, whose directors in the
early fall of 1922 were laying plans
for a stock dividend of 400 per rent.
* which they declared on October 11 of
that year.
^^In the late summer of that year
stock touched its low price of
$169 a share. On September 1 it sold
at 183, moving up to 188 two weeks
later. In the week of September 30
it crossed the $200 mark and between
September 30 and October 11, it rose
exactly 60 points to $250.50. Then it
broke to $200. The four for one stock
now sells around $37 a share.

SYNOPSIS
Stella Iiallnn separated from her l»us

merits, and her duuguter, Laurel. 13. live
in the "cheapest room" ©f u fasluonuhle
hotel In Milhnmpton. In the parlors,
where she passes much time readme.
Laurel overhears scornful referenda to
her mother made hy social leader* In
the hotel world Both mother ami daugh
ter ure always smartly dressed when they
go together to the dining room, laturel
goes m\ h visit to her la’oer in New York
and he leaves her at the home of Mrs
Morrison, a friend, while he Is away on
a trip to Chicago. Alter seeing her
daughter aboard the truin in Boston
Stella goes to a cafe where she meet* an
old admirer. Alfred Munm with whom
she attends a musical farce.
(Continued from Yesterday.)
It was not only a regard to her
relation with men that Stella turned
deaf ears to Stephen. Under the
head turning effect of attentions paid
her by such women as Phyllis Stearns
and Myrtle Holland (Myrtle Holland
took up Stella Dallas as a sort of fad
that spring, her friends said) she
came to consider ail Stephen's ideas
as old fashioned, and out-of-date.
She could seo nothing but advant
age in forming alliances with such
"They're in everything. They go
everywhere." Nothing but distinc
tion in entertaining Into every activ
ity and amusement that they suggest
ed. "Graoious, how little men know
to get on in society." Stephen was
harping morning, noon, and night, on
the dangers of too intimate friend
ships, and too rapid progress. “If I
followed your advice 1 wouldn’t get
anywhere. You’d make out of me
just a prim, stupid, little stay-at
home. Myrtle says she d just die if
her husband tried to dictate to her
the way you do to me."
"'Myrtle says’! Oh, Stella, you
don't talk over our affairs with your
women friends, do you?”
"Oh. rio! Of course not. We talk
just about the weather!" _
"But. Stella, surely your sense of
good taste would prevent you from
telling any one of our differences of
opinion?"
“Our ‘squabbles,’ you mea'n? Oh,
Stephen, a saint couldn't please you.
Finding fault with the things I talk
about with my girl friends! Honestly!"
"They'll only ridicule you after
wards. I don't like those women. I
wish you'd avoid them. I don't think
they're real friends of yours.”
"That's right. Run them down.
Have friends of your own, you lunch
with and play cards with, and golf
with, and have a regular good time
with, but don't let me have anybody!
Myrtle says some men are like that—
jealous even of their wives' women
friends. Oh, Stephen, why will you
try to take the joy out of everything
so? Why don't you let me have a
little fun in life without all this argu
ment? I get sick to death of It."
"Oh, very well.”
"Yes. you say ‘very well,’ hut you'll
lie at me again tomorrow. I don't find
fault with you, do I?"
"No.”
"Well—?”
Stephen was silent.
"That’s right, now get glum and
sulky, and don't say anything to me
but stiff formal things for a wek. Oh,
gracious!”
Stella could forget all alsaut such
discussions as this by the following
morning. "I'm blessed with a good
disposition,” she was fond of boast
ing. "Dad used to say It was almost
Impossible to worry me cross when I
was a kid. Come on. Stephen, cheer
up."
If Stephen didn’t. If lie couldn’t
“cheer up," Stella would fling down
her comb, or slam a door, and five
minutes Inter he heard humming a
song In her bath. Stephen suffered.
«
"Why did you ever marry me,
Stella?" once despairingly he Inquired.
"Why, because I was crazy about
you. I thought you were perfectly
great.”
"How can a woman he crazy about
a man—oare for a man, and not lie
willing to adapt herself somewhat to
him, to give up a few things for
him?"
"How would It do for you to do a
little of the adapting, Stephen, n little
of the giving up? Why did you ever
marry me?” she retorted.
* - ——
CHAPTER VIII.
1
It was an Ironic coincidence that
the same cause that Rilled the last lilt
of struggling love Stephen had for
Stella (If indeed love It had ever lieen)
should also hind him to her more
closely.
Suddenly In the midst of Stella's
first year of social success in Mil
hampton, she found herself facing the
dismaying possibility (hat she might
soon become a mother. She didn’t
want to! Not now! It would be a
terrible tragedy Just when shn was
making such headway In Mllhampton.
It would wlje her off tho social map
for a whole year, or more! When the
possibility became a certainty. It
seemed to Stephen that all there was
left sweet and fine In Stella dlslrile
grated suddenly and completely into
futile and unbeautlful protest.
She fought tho fighting fact day
after day, night after night, with
violent attacks of crying, with uci
controlled fits of rage, self pity and
despair, aa If in frenzied resistance
lay possible escape. Her one desire
wees to escape—somehow, anyhow,
from the horrible trap that had simp
pad on her, and held her In Its grasp.
She talked In a way during this
time that made Stephen want to go
Into another room and close the door.
He did, sometimes. Her complaints
were worded In the parlance that
came easiest to her tongue. She was
in no mood then to pick words and
choose phrases. All thnt Stephen held
most sacred and precious about mar
riage went to pieces under the con
stant fire.
He took many long lonely walks
lino the open country around Mil
hampton that fall to escape from
Stella, to get out of sight and sound
of her and purify himself, if he
could, under the open sky. His
thoughts were bitter ones as he
tramped and tramped. It seemed as
if life was determined to grind Us
heel upon him, and crush him. lie
didn't believe in fate: lie didn't be
lieve ill fortune or good fortune was
planned and sent to helpless victims.
He believed stanchly In the unchang
ing law of causation. Rut, oh. it
did make a man wish there was some
other reason than his own fault, for
disaster followed him, wherever he
went, whatever he did. It had been
In an attempt to escape the horror of
his father's last act that he had
come to Miihampton. And now the
horror of finding himself married to
a woman he did not love, had never
loved (It was to get away from Mrs.
Bean's boarding house that he had
married! was his to bear. He wished
he might go back to Mrs. Bean's
boarding house. There are seme
kinds of unloveliness more difficult to
endure than mere dirt and grime.
The apartment was no longer a re
fuge.
Stephen made no effort to reason
with Stella. In the beginning he told
her briefly, sternly, that she must
accept the fact of the coming child,
unwelcome as It was to her (un
welcome as It was. therefore, to him).
They must both accept it. There was
no escape. Absolutely. Having de
live red himself of this dictum, he
treated her as kindly as ho knew
how. as he would a sick and unreas
onable child—tolerated. Indulged, anJ
endured.
Stella's protestations quieted down.
Her attacks of crying and abandon
ment to despair grew less violent, less
frequent. They disappeared complete
ly after a month or so. That was
nature's way. Stephen knew that no
emotion can continue long in in
tensity, in the consciousness of a hu
man being. It runs a course, like a
disease. Mercifully. Recuperation
begins its gintlc work, once facts are
comprehended and accepted Stephen
j exported that in time Stella would
acquiesce and submit to "her inevit
able.'' But he did not expect hei
acquiescence and submission to t*
come Interest and delight.
One evening In January site showed
Stephen a little dress she had been
working on In secret, daytimes, when
he was absent, she explained. As
she held It up l>y the arms for him
to see. »he gurgidd with amusement
and pleased satisfaction.
"Isn't 'he' cute?" she laughed de
llghtcdly.
Stephen stared at the little dress,
amazed. Why. six weeks ago Stella
had declared she wouldn't take a
stltijr for the baby! He couldn't re
fratn from reminding her of that.
"Well, what of It?” she shrugged,
sold all sorts of things then. In
the beginning, when I was scared. I
suppose. Oh, Stephen" she laughed
good-natu ferity. "you don't know
beans altout women. Why. I'm get
ting quite crazy about the baby now!"
Stephen looked at her sharply. Hid
the maternal instinct come alive sud
denly in some women, like that?
"Really?"
"Certainly," she assured him light
ly. ‘Of course It will tie me down,
terribly, for a while, but Myrtle says”
(she was constantly limiting Myrtle
to Stephen), "Myrtle says I'd he
awfully out of things In the long run.
if I didn't ever have a child. All (he
young married set talk babies—at
least the women: and. after nil, It
Is sort of fun to dress the cunning
little things up, and send them out
rolling, with n nurse girl. Myrtle has
got a baby. She dresses her In dart
log things, and I'hyllls (Phyllis was
often quoted to Stephen, too) "told
me something Is going to happen to
tier next summer. I'm really quite In
the swim.”
Stephen turnd away, no longer ills
inayed. Only a little more dtnillus
toned.

Laurel was liorn in June Stephen
named her Laurel—at least It was the
name he applied In her the first time
he saw her. lie had come arrner
some Humps of mountain laurel In
hud a day or two before, when out on
one of hie long tramps. Tlu> buds
were clusters of sticky little spins of

of flannel. Only the tip of her little
pink head was showing.
"Hello, you Utile mountain laurel
bud," Stephen had said to her, at a
loss to know what to say.
He never would have called her
a laurel bud again. It was the nurse
who InHsted upon the term. Every
morning when she took the baby to
Stephen for Inspection (a ceremony
she never failed to perform, she re
marked. "Here's your little mountain

Laurel's real name was Hildegarde
—it was as Hildegarde that she was
enrolled on the city's records—but she
was never called anything hut laurel

Hildegarde to Stella. It was a name

was old enough to go to school, she
had Ideas of her own upon the sub
ject. She didn't like Hildegarde.
"It's big and ugly and has corners,”
•he announced. ,
During the first few weeks of
Laurel's existence Stella gloried much
more In the pleasing curves her own
figure assumed than In the exquisite
beauty of Laurel's perfect body. Oh.
ves. it was a cute little thing, she
acknowledged, but she had wanted s

sex. She nursed the haby for a week

with a gay little nod of her head,

Girl Wants Love Handed
Out on Platter of Gold
Longs for Man With Good Qualities—Wants New
Year to Bring Love—Too Calculating.
By MARTHA ALLEN.
IK New Year brings many things
hut is going to bring unhappi
ness to a lot of girls who are
schemers to such an extent that they
are left alone.
“With the New Year I realize that
I am 30 and desperately lonely,"
writes Ruth. “Is there any hope that
love will come this year? Any sug
gestion you make make to lead me
to happiness and marriage will be
gratefully acted upon."
This girl says Bhc has a brilliant,
dashing personality but seems un
able to attract real love. She wants
to marry, well socially, financially,
and mentally and with only those re
quirements she doesn't find the right
man.
These hard-headed, ambitious girls
like Ruth are never willing to see
the difference between love and the,
marriage arrangements they wish to
make. The sharp eye and the shrewd
attitude toward the man's purse
doesn't soften one s nature enough to
call fof-th love.
So the only thing I can tell you.
Ruth, is to cultivate sympathy and
understanding. The New Year will
bring you happiness and love if you
prepare yourself to know It when
you see it, (o appreciate it when you
have it, and to make it so welcome
that it will want to stay with you.
The way to do seems to be to bury
your calculating ambitions In regard
to a husband and to give your heart
a chance. A warm heart will help
build friendship and this Is the
foundation of which love stands.
Both Bashful.
Dear Miss Allen: I am going to en
tertain for a college friend and her
fiance. I am giving a dinner party
and wish to ask a certain young man
for my partner, but 1 am In doubt
about whether I should or not. I
met this young man three months
ago. and since then we have worked
together In the church and have met
at parties. He doesn't go with any
of the girls. I would like to ask him
here, but I am afraid that he might
think I was trying to ‘‘vamp” him.
What do you think?
I thought after dinner I would sug
gest going to a certain town to a
show. Should I buy the tickets or let
the young men buy them?
When a n.«n leaves after calling
on n girl should she ask him to call
again or let him do the "asking?" I
am. IGNORANT.
The only thing you tell me about
the young man in question is that he
doesn't go with any girls. Sounds
as if he were very bashful or didn't
give a-hang for anything In skirts. I
cun hardly tell you whether to ask
him to the dinner party, for I am
not sure he is the sort of fellow that
has to be asked to a girl's home be
fore he will call upon her, even
though he might be interested.
The short acquaintance makes the
asking fearful of the desired answer.
I doubt If he wilt think your invita
tion will be qpe way of "vamping.”
Most men nowadays ore very mat
ter of fact. They find an excuse
easily enough if they do not care to
go to a certain place. Of course our
grandmothers would be shocked at
the thought of asking a young man
*o a party at the home w-hen he hadn't
deigned to give the hostess any at
tention. Times have changed, It is
admitted, so ask the man If you
haven't any regular escort to whom
you are Indebted.
Never suggest that you go to the
theater. Either have already Invited
your guests to the theater with tick
ets In hand or find entertainment at
home. Otherwise the situation Is
embarrassing to the men guests in
case they forget their pqeketbooks
wlltn they changed to their best
cliches
When a young man is leaving after
making the girl a cal* the girl should
ask him to call again, for she is the
hostess and offers the hospitality of
her home.
Behind the
Footlights
Lameness doesn't prevent a girl
from going on the stage, declare*
Miss Rose Sydell, jr . who is slightly
lame and is a member of the chorus
of "Vouthful Follies." Rose plays an
Important part In the chorus too. She
is in the front row of the chorus on
the right end, a place that is known
as one of the best positions in a
chorus.
My lameness doesn't bother me one
hit,'' said Rose. "I skate, dance and
swim. I limp because one of my legs
is a little shorter than the other. My
hip was dislocated when I was but
1 year old. My nurce had placed
me upon a table and I fell off. My
hip was dislocated and I have been
lame ever since.”
Rose was a soubfette In burlesque
last year but It was found that she
gained more exercise in the chorus
so willingly took that place. She Is
but IS years of age. As she
grows older, she notices, that the limp
Is less apparent. In time it will en
tirely disappear, she believes.
Rose's father and mother were both
of the theater. Her father. Jack Sy
dell. who was manager of the Hose
Sydell Belles waa drowned at Atlan
