I THE GUMPS JUST A SUGGESTION . Drawn for The Bee by Sidney Smith, 1 1 .
Br 't nlvernal Serrlce.
l'aris, Oct. 8. American million
aires desirous of buying winter
homes cu t tip Riviera had belter
catch the first boat for France.
Scores of chateaux formerly belong
ing to Genitalis and sequestered
during the war arc to be sold at
auction, the profits to go to the work
on devastated regions. The num
ber includes the Hohenlohe palace,
tamed as the most sumptuous home
in the world.
Art dealers and buyers from the
United States, Lomkyi, Paris, Japan
and Rome already are gathering in
Nice and at MotHe Carlo and it is
expected, owing to the priceless
relics contained in the mansions,
that the auction will be a record
one. Tho building alone is ex
pected to bring lO.IKKWO.OOO francs.
The Haroness D'Ottenfeld's man
! sion, "Eden," at Cannes, is another
famous palace, bidding for which
will be keen. It was here that the
baroness gave notorious "Latin
orgy," which resulted, incidentally
in her losing her. jewels worth $60,
1)00. Shortly aftijr the orgy her hus
band was found assassinated on a
littte Japanese, bridge in the garden
The baron's ghost is said to haunt
one ot the tables at Monte Carlo.
In another villa. La Maures'iue,
which was a hospital during the war,
Madame Han had her famous idyll
with the young count of Koenigs
iuarl lieutcrint of the Uhlans, who
was. afterward proved to have been
a spy. The idyll was terminated in
the flight of the count with most of
his sweetheart's jewelry.
In the castle of the Eucalyptus on
the 'route to the Juan gulf the Count
of Festette De Tolnac gave numer
ous romantic fetes based on the re
clistic tales contained in Gilles Dc
Rais' "Babe Bleu" fetes which were
later tlic subject of cruel sarcasm by
Jean Lorrain infhis "Tales of the
Riviera."
Not far from . the Eucalyptus is
the Castle Robert, where the famous
Count ZellitjeckrMercedes spent his
winters. "La Bruyer," another fa
mous villa once .German-owned, has
been purchased by the duke of Con
liatight. A cynical provision of the French
board of alien enemy 'property is
that all these ex-German chateaux
must be thoroughly fumigated be
fore sale.

"BEAUTY UNADORNED"'
By SAM HELLMAN
Some day someone is going to
dramatize the dictionary. Front
"aardvark," which is a ley browed
African ant eater, to "zymotic"
which has something to do with fer
mentation and contagious diseases,
is a vast field deeply studded with
comedies and tragedies. Look it
over some day it's full o snappy
lines and strong situations. '
Just as you enter the Peerless De
partment store from the Main street
side a pair of black eyes throws you
out of step. They belong to Rosie
Simon at the perfume counter. Rosie
isn't all eyes, either. She has all
the other essentials.
Women think it is some kind of
secret lotion that gives Rosie ro?y
cheeks, and they crowd around the
counter The men are not so :n
quisitive. The effect, not the ause,
attracts them.
"Who's that guy with the mop
looking at you?" asked Angie
O'Connor of Rosie one morning.
A bearded man who had been
standing near the doorway looking
intently at Rosie came toward the
counter.
"My dear young woman," he said,
abruptlv, "you're a tvpe."
"Me?" exclaimed Rosie. "There
must be some mistake, I'm Jewish."
Uh, you misunderstand me. I
mean you're a type, a girl with dis-i
tinctivc features, an expressive
lace ,
"All right," conceded Rosie. "Do
you want something in the way of
perfume?"
"No, I want you for a moving pic
ture play."
."Oh, very well," said Rosie with
a sigh. "Pit fall for a couple of
ducats. What's the benefit?"
"No, no, no," cried the stranger.
"I want you to take part in a movie.
I'll pay you well."
"Me, you want me to act in a
movie? What's the matter? Is Mary
Pickfor '. sick?"
"Xow listen," said the man. "I'm
manager ,pf the Acme Film com
pany across the river. Here," and
he handed her a card. "I'm looking
for a type to fill a small part in a
department store play we are stag
ing. You're just the girl I want.
The Acme pays well for what it
wants."
"Take him on," broke in Angie;
"it's the chance of a life. Mary
Pickford gets $2,000 a week." Rosie
stood dazed.
"Come over to the studio tomor
row at 8," said the manager. "You'll
come, won't you?"
"Ye-s, I guess' so. Wait a mmutc.
What do I do, fall out of a burning
house or get run over by a train?"
The manager smiled.
"No, it's nothing like that. You
take the part of a shop girl you
cught to be able to act that natural
ly. A rich woman adopts yon and
her son falls in love with you. You
reject him"
"What's the matter with him;"
"Him? Nothing. You marry him
later on. Anyhow, getting married
is the most dangerous tiling you do.
Are vou satisfied?"
"All right," said Rosict "I'll be
there."
The next dav Rosie went to the 1
studio of the Acme. The director
hardly looked up from a script he
was reading.
"Simon? Ob, yes: shop girl.
Stand over there about i fifteen feet
away. Now register weariness.
"Come again," said Rosie.
"Register weariness. Look tired.
Imagine you've worked hard all day
and are ready to. drop. 'Christmas
Stuff. Now, try it."
Rosie tried it. She had the' natural
gift.
"Good," snapped the director.
"Now, look happv. Your sweetheart
'has just come into the room. Fine.
ou 11 do first rate. Is, it real.' he
asked, placing a finger on Rosie's
cheek. "I'll be darned. I .'didn't
think there was any natural ones
left. You'll be the heauty of this
show." I
"How about my job at the store?"
asked Rosie. I
; "What are you getting?"
"Eight dollars a week." I
"Eight? Very well, I'll guarantee!
you $50." ' j
,As Rosie left the studio she saw
that the film was already being ad
vertised. One flaming poster sait",
"Beauty Unadorned. An Entire De

"Hello," said Angie the next
morning. "I thought you were id

"I was," replied Rosie, ''for a few
minutes. I'm off of 'em for good."
"What's the idea?"
"Aw," said Rosie, "i'.'s one of .hem

"What's it called?"
"Here." said Rosie, "I copied it

HOLDING A
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
How Madge Sorely Puzzled Rita
, Brown.
I did not go to the door of the tea
room to meet Rita Brown. Instead
I signed to Betty Kane that I
wished her to admit the visitor, and
she accordingly pushed her wheel
chair near the door and greeted Rita
with a cheery "Good afternoon." .
From my seat in the room which
Betty Kane had set apart for my
use 1 tensely waited for Rita Brown's
first word's. It was, no easy task
which I had -set myself, and I meant
to watch every tone and facial
change of the girl I ,had summoned
to the tea room. r
"Good afternoon." There was a
haughty aloofness in the tone, which
no one wouldise to sweet, crippled
Betty Kane save a person of Rita
Brown's type. The girl who dould
deny her. own father and mother in
order to pretend to "be something
other than she was also felt it nec
essary to bolster her position by su
percilious rudeness to anyone whom
she fancied to be in an inferior po
sition in life to the one she had
carved for herself.
A Stormy Entrance.
"What can I do for you?" The
answering voice had lost its cheeri
ness in its turn and had taken on a
slight, almost imperceptible edge. I
guessed that Betty Kane had a dig-
nity of her own, and that, though her
natural attitude was one of friendly
cheeriness, yet she could withdraw
into a shell of perfunctory salesman
ship at the first hint of coolness or
patronage on the part of a customer.
"This is Betty Kane's tea room, is
it not?" Rita demanded.
"I am Miss Kane, yes," laconi
cally. "I expected to meet someone here,
a Mrs. Graham."
"Mrs. Graham is awaiting you in
that room. Just push open the door
and close it after you, if you
please."
There was something in Betty
Kane's voice now, to which the slav
ish soul of Rita Brown bowed -instantly
petty people, pretending to
be what they are not, are quickest
to cower in the presence of real dig
nity and authority. She said nothing
more, but scrupulously obeyed Miss
Kane's injunction. I rose as she
turned from the door she had closed
with meticulous care.
"This is so good of you, Rita," I
said brightly, but I did not offer her
my hand. "I was beginning to be
afraid I should have to drink my tea
alone, and that is a barbarous thing,
don't you think so?"
She looked around the room wifli
ttormy eyes.
"Where is the little fool?" slie de-'
mandeft
"I do not understand you," I said
coolly.
Madge Draws the Rein.
"Oh, yes, you do!" she retorted.
"Of course, Leila came running to
you, first thing. And you said vou
wanted me to meet- Leila and you."
"I do a little later," I sa;d
smoothly. "But unfortunately Leila
is suffering from a headache, and
ctnnot come over here. It's too
had one of her headaches should
have to come on just when she
came to visit me. Pre put her to bed.

Alfred conies to take her home."
"When Al " She checked herself
abruufly, and I saw that I had
fairly puzzled her. The careless
ness with which I bad made the
reference to Alfred had led her to
believe that Leila had told me noth

WHY?-
Do New Shoes Squeak?
(Copyright, 1820, by Tho Wheeler
Kjnuicnio, inc.)
The high-pitched piercing note
which is so oftcrr to be found in
a new pair of shoes is caused
by the friction of the various
layers of leather against each
other, the hard glazed surfa-es
giving off a succession of noise?
which usuallv grow les distin t
as the shoes become more worn.
The warmth of the foot caus-f
the layers of leather to c.linv,
more closely' together and th-;s
obviates in a greater or lesser
degree, the S(ueaky noise which
was formerly characteristic ot
new shoes.
During recent years, however,
the science of shoe-nuking has
improved to such an extent that
the "squeak'' has. been almost
eliminated though it sometimes
appears in the heavier types of
footwear where thick hard
leather is used. The use of cork
innersoles, jr.ined to the outer
sole, has also couitteracted this
annoyance to a considerable de
gree, and as a remedy for
squeaking shoe, cobblers advise
the application of vaseline or
some oily substance which does
away with much of the friction
and eliminates the noise just as
oiling the bearings of a machine
will cause it to run more smooth
ly and quietly.
HUSBAND
Rifa had said against the man Leila
was so soon to marry.
There was a low knock at a side
door which I guessed led to M;ss
Kane's kitchen, and Betty Kane's
voice sounded from the other side.
"Oh, Mrs. Graham I Will yu
come here just a minute, please?"
Glad of the interruption, I hast
ened to the door with a perfunctory
"pardon me" to Rita, and found my
self in a spotless kitchen in the
center of which a tea wagon stood
ready for serving.
"I thought perhaps you might not
wish me to come in," she explained,
"and, besides, this is very awkward
for me to manage alone. I am ipt
to spill things when I shove it ahead
of me. Everything is all-ready. You
don't mind?"
Her voice was wistful. I answered
her with the cherriest smile I had.
"I would mind very much if. vou
didn't let me do it," I said heartily.
Then, pushing the tea wagon ahead
of me I went back to Rita Brown.
She sprang up as she saw me entT,
and faced me defiantly.
"What the devil do; you mean by
all this farce?" she demanded.
I looked at her steadily.
"It is no farce," I said. "They
are some things I have to say to
you, but I think I shall be better
able. to say them and you to hear
them after we are fortified by a.
cup of tea. How many lumps,
please?"

Tourist Finds
Europe In Throes
Of Depression
Germans Apparently Doing
Nothing Until Amount of
Indemnity Is Definitely
Fixed.
Boston, Oct.' 8. Edward A.
Filene, former chairman of the war
shipping commission, .reported to
the Chamber of Commerce today his
observations during a four months'
tour of the war ridden countries of
Europe except Russia. In all. with
the exception of, England, he found
conditions which could be remedied,
he said, only by international co
operation in which the United States
should take a part. ,
France he found "torn by con
flicting emotions a desire to se
cure the indemnity wlr.ch she needs
and a fear lest in permitting Ger
many to gain the economic power
necessary to pay the indemnity she
would create a rival who would
later crush her.
Germany Backward.
In Germany, Mr. Filene said there
was "general agreement that until
the indemnity was fixed no real
progress towards reconstruction
could be made. He quoted Herr
Boyer, the Prussian secretary of
state, and an unnamed "important
official" as expressing the belief that
"France was deliberately trying to
make it impossible for Germany to
recuperate."
Mr. Filene said he found the num
ber of unemployed in Germany had
grown extraord:narily since May,
and was increasing. '
The speaker said Italy is "dom
inated by the organized workers and
the government, if it wishes to sur
vive, can do little more than follov.
where the radicals are leading."
Coal is Italy's greatest present need,
he said.
Austria Is Doomed.
Mr. Filene referred to Austria as
"a country apparently doomed to
die." because it is not self-supporting.
The Czecho-SIovak republic he de
scribed as having "nearly all that the
present Austria has not." The prin
cipal industrial problem of the new
republic is one cf credit, Sccording
to the speaker,
England- is mere prosperous than
any of the European nations, Mr.
Filene said. He got the impression
there that Englishmen are "willing
to do all they, can to get every na
tion to work against us if possible."
