'" DAILY SHORT 8TORV
THE SAGE
By Glenn Reilly.
TT WASN'T long
after Nancy left
business school
that she discovered
that the fact of
being grown-up
and educated and
entirely on her
own was distinctly
not all that it was
cracked up to be
The fact rankled
for more them one
reason.
In the first place,
the slender amount
of money she had
been left, carefully
budgeted though it
had been to get
her through a
business course in
♦he big town, was
diminishing at an
alarming rate.
Nancy had had no
doubts whatever
that immediately
"You got looks, too!"
read the card and
shook her head.
Nancy declined.
For tv.o weeks
afterward Nancy
received identical
flowers and re
quests. And finally
Cloe put her hand
upon Nancy’s
shoulder as they
were getting
dressed, or un
dressed, for the
first-act curtain.
"Listen, darling,”
she cautioned.
"I’ve kept hands
off for two weeks,
just to see how
you reacted to
my teaching, and
you really came
through in grand
style.”
"You mean about
this Weatherill per
son?” Nancy asked.
upon her being graduated there would
be a rather good job waiting for just
such a smart and capable person as
herself. It hadn’t appeared.
Secondly, there was the fact that,
outside of a semi-hostile aunt back
In Erie, Pa., she had no known living
relatives upon whom to fall back if
what seemed to be inevitable actually
occurred. Nancy decided grimly that
she'd cheerfully starve rather than
ask sour-pussed old Aunt Samantha
for anything. Aunt Samantha was
one of those I-told-you-so types, un
endingly.
And the third consideration, and
the. one that caused her the worst
misgivings, was that her erstwhile
near-fiance, Kenneth, had so uner
ringly predicted just what was hap
pening. It gave her the odd feeling
that he knew more than she had given
him credit for knowing. She realized
that at a word from her he would
leap at the chance of marrying her.
But first she must make at least a
small success in New York, just to
prove to herself that she could do it!
And it was thus that, while answer
ing advertisements in the morning
papers, she came to the Cs, and saw
a box requesting chorus girls. Nancy
thought, and then firmly placed a
penciled notation beside the adver
tisement. She could dance . . . and
who knew? She might get a job for
a while!

T ATER in the morning Nancy found
herself, along with a hundred
other girls, upon the barren stage of
the State Theater, where evidently a
new “Varieties” was gomg into pro
duction. Watching the other girls
before her. she got the idea of the
routine, but her heart misgave her as
she noticed the small percentage of
girls winnowed from the aggregate.
“Nice pair of gambs you got, sister!”
the dance director startled her by
saying. Subconsciously, she had ex
pected questions as to her previous
positions, and the like. "You got
looks, too! If you can dance as
good as you look, you’re hired!” In
a sort of daze Nancy got through
a simple waltz clog with variations,
and found she was actually a member
trf the line!
By the time the show finally opened
Nancy had learned a bit about the
surface sophistication so dear to big
town dwellers. Cloe. the brilliant,
though unauthentic, blond who shared
her dressing table, saw to that. Nancy
came to rely upon the older girl’s
advice, carefully given in an offhand
manner.
Jk 3k * *
/~\N OPENING night Nancy nearly
^ froze with fright. The blur of
faces, the sudden, unexpected sounds
of approbation from behind the white
glare of the foots gave her a feeling
of reality. And so she wasn't really
surprised when the colored maid
brought in a box of flowers for her,
and she extracted a card bearing
the name of Hervey Weatherill, with
a polite request penciled thereon to
take her oat after the show. Cloe

Up until that moment, It was true,
Cloe had never said a word to her
about the unknown gallant who evi
dently attended every performance,
flatteringly enough. "I’m rather
thrilled about him! Don't you think
I should give him a date after the
show, just for the experience?”
* * * *
"YOU poor lamb!” Cloe said ma
ternally. "I can see that you
haven’t been around much!” Nancy
opened her eyes, a little hurt. "I
suppose you don't know that Hervey
Weatherill is one of this burg's most
notorious playboys, that he strings
his conquests like pearls and exhibits
them to flatter his own ego, that he
believes that his millions give him
the right to barge in upon any one’s
personal life and do what he likes
with it!”
Nancy was a bit awed. "No, I
really didn't know that!”
Cloe smiled and patted her shoul
der. "You're in the big city, my dear,
but what you haven’t realized Is that
your speed is still that nice boy back

In Pennsylvania! I’d stick to him if
I were you! And as for this rich
WeatheriU lug, you just leave him to
me, because I know how to handle
that kind!”
Cloe was as good as her word. Be
tween the first and second acts of the
show Cloe slipped out and had
WeatherUl called to the phone from
his box. "It's all fixed, Nancy,” she
reported. “I told him just what was
on my mind! And now,- after the
show, I'll leave first and go up to
him if he's waiting, like he said he
would be. While I keep him Interested
you can slip by and everything will
be copasetic!"
“I don’t know what I'd do without
you,” Nancy thanked 'her.
”1 do, and that’s Just why I have
to keep an eye open all the time,”
Cloe retorted. “Anyhow, you leave
everything to me, as I said. Old
Aunt Cloe is one gal who knows all
the angles!”
“All right, Cloe, from now on the
game is in your hands, and I certainly
am grateful to you for taking the
trouble!”
"The pleasure is all mine,” Cloe
assured her.
★ * * *
A ND true as his word, after they
had finished dressing and were
ready to go home, Cloe peeked around
the stage door and saw parked at the
end of the stage entrance alley the
Weatherill limousine, impressive in its
expensively simple decorations. Beside
it stood Hervey, waiting.
Nancy, her coat couar turned up,
walked swiftly by while Cloe turned
upon Weatherill the full battery of
eyes and chatter. Nancy was thankful
as she turned the corner out of sight.
So was Cloe. With her most enchant
ing smile she allowed herself to Be

"Women merely lose their jobs,"
Mrs. Bitterman said, In pointing out
the disastrous effects of a minimum

A personal investigation, she as
serted, showed that many women had
lost jobs and that many firm* formerly
employing women now employed men
because men were not so restricted by

Dry “beer-y” beers outselling sweeter beers in
j St. Louis, Detroit, Philadelphia, !and other cities
as well as here in the Baltimore-Washington area
There’s no doubt about it. Americans are losing their
prohibition-day taste for sweet-tasting beers—a taste
they developed when home-brew and “needled” beer
were made with sugar and raisins, or both! And even
though so many beers are still being made on the
sweet-side, you’ll find that real beer drinkers insist on
a dry beer-y beer like Gunther’s.
Gunther’s is just the opposite from a sweet beer.
As different as day and night from other beers. The
best way to explain it, according to an old Bavarian
brew-master, is to call it “beerie” or “beer-y.” Dry
and beer-y, that’s the way to describe it! Instead of
being heavy in body, Gunther’s is ju3t the reverse.
Completely satisfying, yet it’s the light type of old
style lager that doesn’t “fill you up.” You can drink
more of this kind of beer without taking the edge off
your appetite.
Like a dry cocktail, or a dry wine, it’s the only kind
a real experienced beer drinker will order.
And you’ll never tire of the taate of Gunther’s.
That again is because it’s so dry and beer-y—instead
of being sweet-like!
No wonder Gunther’s is the biggest selling beer in
this part of the country. Made like an imported
Bavarian or Bohemian beer, using only the choicest
imported hops, there is no grander tasting beer at any
price anywhere.
Ask some of the folks from the Danish, Dutch or
German Embassies what kind of beer they like (and
what kind of beer they drank in the old country).
It’s dollars to doughnuts they’ll describe “a good dry
beer-y kind”—like Gunther’s! _
Drink Gunther's and you’ll really be
a beer drinker!
IN CIRCLE BELOW —
Reporter snapped a
couple in the act of dis
cussing beer taste. The
•‘sweet young thing** d
said she used to drink 1
sweet beers but gradu
ally learned to like the
dry, beer-y taste of
Gunther’s.
BEER AND STUFF I If you can find a "sweet
beer” drinker in this crowd at one of the good
bars, it's the young lady in the flower-print
frock. She said she rarely drank her and actu
afiy'liltes-her wt<Mt~sweet. Oh well, we can’t
expect everybody to be a real beer drinker.
AT THE ACTIVE BARS—more and more
people are patronising the placet that carry
Gunther's. You couldn't sell this bunch of beer
drinkers anything but a good imported beer,
or the self-same taste in a dry, beer-y beer like
Gunther’s.
