PEWTER BULLETS
By Edna Ferber
They're melting town th< !r pew

[ —look out!
11 It's an awe-inspiring process to
i watch—this melting of the pewter.
[ You may «.ee it done by dropping ln
iJ to tbe bare little shop on the street
jjtloor ot an office building just a
i block or so off State street. You
[.know the place by the flag that
i hangs outside The flag give* it the
|J looks o! a recruiting office That's
1 1 what It Is—a recruiting office. If
[| there were a sign outside |t might
iread something like this:

A conversation overheard—ao. •
shamelessly and openly listened to—
In a fashionable tea room. When
you want to know w*hat's going to
be worn next week, you go to that
tea room. They're wearing It there
this week. At the next table sat a
frivolous looking blonde per
son In blue serge and one of those
sneaky looking little hats they’re
I wearing. With her was a plump, ma
jtronly, eyeglaased woman. They were
jdrtnklng countless cup* of tea. eat
ing squares of delicious looking buf
fered toast and talking - what do you
j think? By all the laws of custom,
superstition and femininity they
• should have been discussing the su
periority of the plaited skirt over the
panier. But no. They were talking
politics. Aggressive. Progressive poli
tics. They were talking of a wonder
ful system they had helped perfect
that day—a system whereby women
were to be given a chance to help in
the cause of Progressivism.
I leaned over.
"Where is thl* place?"
The little blonde in the skittish
hat showed no surprise or displea
sure af being addressed by an un
known. That is a new bond of sis
terhood that a common Interest Is
weaving for women. She told me.
"And you’ll know |t by the flag
that hang* outside."
I It was a wonderful thing to watch
the men and women who came into
that recruiting office. There came
first a cocky little mesenger boy. In
jhls band was a message marked
"Rush."
"Say, gimme one of them buttons,
will you?” He pinned It on his coat
stopped outside the door to survey
the Roosevelt-Johnson pictures iu
the window, remembered his rush
message, and trotted off.
A man hobbled iu. He walked
with the wooden, uncertain gait of
one whore spine is wrong. There was
(about him tbe look of the man-out
of-a-Job.
"I'm a cornice worker,” lie ex
claimed. apoligizing for his very ex
istence. "I got hurt u year ago. My
baek. I’ll get a job as soon as my feet
get to acting right. I’ll buy one of
them certificates ua soon as 1 get
th* Job, but here's a nickle. It’s all 1
Igot."
He shoved his nickel over the
counter to the. Bona Fide Countess.
She took It. wide-eyed. He shuffled
out.
j here entered a blond young man
clean-cut, virile, red-cheeked. "Dol
lar certificate,” be said, briskly.
"Moose pin? Thanks. How doe* that
look on a gray suit?"
Two women followed. Well dress
ed, they wore, intelligent looking,
of the type that might be of the of
fice or the home. It was hard to tell.
The n«xt man lined up at the pine
table rather sheepishly. He took u
letter from his pocket. "I’m a Wilson
man. But I got a letter today from a
gill I know. She’s working for the
American Express company In Paris.
She sent a dollar for a certificate,
and she wants me to send it to her.'
They came In ones and twos. Dap

men. An Ice-man clumped In, tongs

a pin. Just after him came a man
