and a soft bat: and if she had met
any of her guest: of that memora-

profoundly thoughtful. and re-
nounced whatever hope of having
seared her to the bone they may
have cherished. She strode
through the woods above the Pair
sades beside Clavering with high
head and sparkling eyes. her arms
swinging like a schoolboy's. it was
evident even to him. who had wait,
ed for her so anxiously. that she
had rubbed a sponge over’her mem-
ory. She was in high spirits and
looked as if she had not a care in
the world. \
There was a soft mist of green
on the trees of the wood. a few
birds had already migrated north-
ward. their own world-old wireless
having warned them of the early
awakening of spring after an un-
usually mild winter. and they were
singing their matins.

act so dariiu in technique they
were loath to believe that even
Clavering, whose striking gifts
they had always recognized, could
"put it over." Moreover, there was
only one woman on the American
stage who could act it and the
was Margaret Anglln. If it didn’

SEDAN MODELS
Greater Demand for
Closed Cars Has
Brought Prices t 0
New Low Level
That the difference in price be-
tween open and closed cat’s has
nearly reached the disappearing
point is emphasized by the chand-
icr‘s show-time announcement of
two new sedans priced but little
higher than the open models.
Closed cars formerly were in the
class of luxuries. when few rc
manufactured as compared with
open cars. For years. sedans were
priced at a thousand dollars more
than open cars of the same pas-
senger capacity.
~ This difference has gradually been
seduced. Improved manufacturing
methods alone brought about a. 11:4
duction in the cost of closed bodic .
with resulting increase in popularl-
ty. Greater demand. in turn.
brought about increased produc-
tion. with more cuts in cost through
quantity methods of manufacture.
