DVANCE-TT/1ES SYNOPSIS Fresh from a French convent, Jo- celyn Hariowe returns to New York to her socially -elect mother, a relig- ious, ambitious woman, The girl is hurried into an 'engagement with the wealthy, Felix Dent. Her father, Nick Sandal, surreptiously enters the girl's home. one night. He tells her he used to. call, her Lynda Sandal. The girl is torn by her desire to see life in the raw and to become part of her mother's society. Her father studies her surroundings. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Lynda visits her father in his dingy quarters. She finds four men playing cards when she arrives. One of them, Jock' Ayleward, her father tells her, is like a son to him, but warns the girl he is a. trifler. It° silenced Lynda on that theme. He chuckled wickedly at hdr height- ening color and the lift of her chin. "And :that's that," he said delight- edly. He put her himself into a taxicab, escorting her down through the house with its rumors ofrevelry- and play. She fancied that from behind one of the closed doors of the ground floor she heard Jock `` Ayleward's voice, cold, angry and excited. • It brought back upon her oddly that light shiver of fear, of unhappiness and of regret. At the very beginning there was this especial difference between Lyn- dan Jocelyn Sandal'and Ja ., y Harlowe: Lynda was without question the more open and ardent of the two. Her eyes had burned upon Nick, his home, his life, his friends with a golden flame of interest, of sympathy, of the will to understand. It was the gift which Marcella had refused and Felix Kent: had not even desired to evoke. One evening Felix questioned her. Heretofore Jocelyn had been the questioner. "Why," he`'asked her, "do you look so conventual tonight?" "Oh," said Jocelyn, realizing that she must answer. "You used to say I didn't look as I ought to; conven- tual, that is." "Tonight you do." "That's funny." Felix laughed a dry little laugh with secret meaning. "I wonder whether it isn't very funny." He went over to : her, sat on the arm of her chair and bent above her, capturing her in one strong arm. "Look, child, :I have to be . away from you for a fortnight presently." Her heart went plunging, whether for joy or sorrow she could'ot for the life of her have told. "When I come back don't you think we could short - • A.

She breathed deeply, her heart at bitter, at defiant labor, She was to be left alone in her ignorance of life. And then she was to be given to this man. "Oh, no," said Lynda Sandal speaking des- perately to her own heart, "we shall see first. There will be. a fortnight at least of liberty and of experience.. Perhaps my mother is wrong. Per- haps. this Felix does not understand me. Perhaps this one correct and in- dulgent gentleman is not 'the only doorway into life, and love. T have a chance to learn the truth, just a brief mad chance, and- if during this fortnight I discover that my anger and my shame and my terror under the embrace of a future husband do not mean what my mother assures me that they mean," her chest lifted,a wind seemed to blow across her mind "then I will never marry him, so help me God; not even to escape from ber!" To the terrible estrangement of this pronoun had Marcella driven her. IOM CRO1M414.

"Bless the child! Home?" . He clicked his tongue, his eyes laughed at her. "No. This isnot his home. Look like a home to you? Jock is what you might call a.bird of pass- age." "A "salesman? suggested Lynda, prbud of her worldly wisdom in be- ing able to guess a business occupa- tion for a man. Nick chuckled. He seemed delight- ed with . her suggestion. "Well, yes.

As my mother is—" And at that instant first did ,the child know what it was in Marcella that so disturbed, so al- ienated' her. Nick had hastily finished his drink, had risen, was not looking at her but at his door. The step ,was mounting' rapidly. "Oh, that!" he' threw back at her hastily over his crooked shoulder. "I nevee said you, had to be afraid, did I? That's just exactly the one thing. you musn't be, my girl. If Mr. Felix Kent really scares you in any pro- found sense' of the word,- quit him cold . It is Jock!" The door was opened with a sort of quiet violence and Ayleward, his hair as sleek as a screen lover's, came in, shut the door and flung a fierce arm about Sandal's shoulders. "There, you old belly-acher, what do you say? Next time will you trust a born card -handler?" As he spoke he waspulling from. his pockets great handfuls of paper money which he shook before Nick's eyes and then tossed up in the air so from the kitchen of a private house that they fell about the room like 'and Lynda found herself seated on a bench against a wall, Jock opposite her across a bare small, narrow table. It held one shaded -light. Jock ord- ered supper food. Mechanical music was playing. The floor was filled with `dancers, their bodies pressed to- gether. Others drank and ate. But except for the music the long narrow room was very quiet and orderly. Lynda drank the black coffee Jock hadordered for her. Jock was watch- ing the dancers. Want to dance?"

'But it was nearly morning when he came back to furious prowling Nick. Ayleward came in at.the door then, humming a dance air with 'a strange dazed: wistful look on his young face. On: the way to get a taxi, Lynda gripped Jock by the arm. "I must talk to you. •You must tell me about Nick." "Alt right. I'll take you some- where." "Do you like Ayleward. "Yes.

They mounted steep and narrow stairs :which might once have led up to dance?" asked dead leaves.' In this moment of some triumph mysterious to Lynda' he had dropped the grim mask from his :mo bile and wild winged: face. Lynda saw that he -was young, ten years younger than Felix Kent, young en- ough to be Sandal's son. "Jock, you fool. Here's Lynda!" The mask • snapped into place. Ayleward turned it upon Nick's visi- tor in startled firm fixation. He bow- ed and began to collect his earnings; for surely they must be, thought Lynda, sarire sdrt of earnings from Employer; "How many men have you got working here?" Work Manager: "Not more'n on. in ten."

He killed the impulse with laughter, gen- uine laughter that could not wound her though it mocked. .

So, when a manufacturer spends $50,000 a year on press ad- vertising, it can be assumed that the total annual sales of his pro -- duct amount to from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. He tossed a handful of paper money in the air before he noticed Lynda, I'm getting weary of convent airs. I want—" and suddenly his face was dyed in deep hot color, 'I want a wife," Marcella spoke as though she were reciting from her volume. • "1can see no reason for keeping you waiting much longer., Felix. I did. say a four months' 'engagement but it seems to ins that you have tested each other's affections now siif'ficiently, have bad tiirie to draw close to each other," . The girl looked from one to ;the other with scared golden eyes. "Yott mean yop'll both go away? You'll leave ins alone here for all. tbo,se days before .. , before ...?" Her heart beat visibly under the ivory silk across her breast. Felix bent to her lisps.

"I can't o ai t..I caitt' wait," And the kiss she headed fell upon her with the Lynda, don't you fall in love with me, understand?" "I must love you," said Lynda soft- ly. "I must love you, You are me. I fell you in rue." - Above his papers he started blank- ly for an instant. Then, "Thanks; - Lynda," he said simply, "I like to be a part of your loveliness, if only for a little while. Go tin now. I really have to finish this. When you come back we'll talk." The bedroom, which contained one full-sized bed and one narrow cot against the wall, was, the most on - tidy and unattractive Lynda had ever been allowed to enter. On Nick's dressing table there were no photographs, no knick-knacks; there were no pictures on his walls. ■ 1111■ • ■ • ■ ■ ■ On top of a tall: chest of drawers, ■ however, a set of clean, cheap toilet ■ articles had been neatly arranged and ■ there was a great picture of a dog, ■ one of those magnificent canine heads pm which, loyal brave, unselfconscious, ■: have a nobility greater' than human- 'Yty'rs'Y . Now, if you are stocking 'a national- ly -advertised product — advertised in big -city dailies and in nationally -circu- lated magazines, you have a right to see this product also being locally advertis- ed—in this newspaper. Your total an- nual sales of the maker's product, join- tothose of its other local distributors (if there are others), entitle you to de- mand that the product be locally adver- tised in this newspaper. If the maker or his representative talks to you about the advertising being done for the product in big -city dailies and in national magazines, tell him that upwards of 90 per cent. of the families in your sales territory do not subscribe to a big -city daily or to a national mag- azine; and that, therefore, he is putting on your shoulders the burden of 'creat- ing and maintaining sales. Clearly, it is not right that you should be required to promote the sale of a product;. in the territory served by this newspaper, without receiving from the manufacturer the sane kind and de- gree of sales assistance which he is giv- ing -retailers resident in cities where he • is spe'nring a lot of money on local ad- vertising. Quite too oftenmanufacturers don't' want' to advertise in local weekly news- papers, saying that it costs too` much: They forget, however, that their sales in towns served by weekly newspapers provide an advertising fund which shotrd be spent locally. Why should the contributions from local sales to the makers advertising fund be spent out- side the local sales territory? You have your business to build up, and to . the extent that you help manu- facturers to obtain and retain sales in this territory, to that extent you should receive local advertising assistance. You've got a first-class case to put before manufacturers who want you to stock and push the sales of their pro- duct; then why not present it, either direct, or through the maker's represen- tative epresentative when he calls?" Cut out this advertisement,,, and show it to the representative firms whose ducts you are asked to stock and push. tit Canadian Weekly newspapers Association, iiiajiw�aaaiaa *1 stall 0 i4 ij
