It was so near-snow that they could
see the double live where the door
was.
But their adventure was not to be
ended so soon, for other things were
to happen.
The first was a man on stilts. eat-
ing his lunch out of a, bird's nest.
"Hello there!" he called down.
"Who are you?"
“Nancy and Nick " said Nick po-
litely.
“Well. I dec\tre!" said the man.
“And where are you going?"
"To Jack Straw's house to put
him out.” said Nancy “He's mixed

N 0W She’s ;a Millionaire
_ BY ROY J. GIBBONS
Nea‘Staff Correspondent
CHICAGO. .—At what age must a
man admit that he's passed his max-
imum of efficiency—that his > chance
of sucess. if he hasn't achieved it al-
ready. is behind him?
If it’s business efficiency vou- mean.
it it's financial achievement you’ re
talking about. and if you agree that
she may speak as a man. though a
woman—why then Miss‘ Mary L. Dut-
ton remarks:
That her whole life was just one
series of narrow escapes from bank-
the time.
:She Could Cook
During all those years she was being
complimented continually upon one
accomplishment she possessed. an ac-
complishment. however. which she
never tried turning to business advant-
age. Sfi “‘88 a wonderful cook-90

Nevertheless it
had failed at everything else she could
think of that it occured to her to open
a‘restaurant. She did it on a capital
of $150. Her friends predicted the-
business wouldn't last the month Miss
Dutton had paid rent in advance for.
But today she owns a. chain of
Chicago cafeterias, said to be the lar-
:gest in the world. Last year she fed
'uearly 5.000.000 people. Her fortune is
estimated in seven figures.
"'W'hat's the age of maximum et-
ficiency?" she asks. “There is vno
such age. We're effcient as long as we.
choose to be. That goes for men as
well as women.
“My mistake. for years. was in fail-
talent I possessed. instead I tried.

“How to avoid this? Study your-

tion and energy into \our work and
