NEW YORK. February S-Dun's re-

THE anticipated general business
recovery is still deferred. but the way
is being gradually shaped for its COM

lasting commercial revival and other
favorable auguries include the recent
reductions in ocean freights and the
easier conditions in money. OF dis

percentage OF idle machinery has
steadily risen, either because of strikes
or from the slow development Of new
orders TO replace the expired or can

progress mainly hinges on prices, as
has been the case since the signing
of the armistice. is now more widely
recognized, and sellers display less
independence, as buyers hold off for
the further concessions which they
believe to be Inevitable. To what

Just as Sir Sprigg finished his
story Of SartoO, and Jack was
planning to be a general in Africa
when he grew up and Jane was
glad she was close beside Lady
dear and Captain Brave, Ladydear
appeared in the doorway with a
letter in her hand.
Il have Just received letter
from Signor Angelo asking us to
meet him in Naples. He would re-
ceive us in his house-the Italians
call it villain the mountains, but
he says he has been having trou-
bic lately with some bands of rob-
bers that have been coming into
his estate and pluadering it. and
that though he has settled them for
awhile, they are disagreeable and
might make our visit with him I'M
pleasant. He wants us to meet
him in Naples where he will en-
terrain us.
This invitation was greeted with
a chorus of "Oh, goody, goodys"
by the children, who had often
heard about this beautiful Italian
city, but had never seen it. They
decided that it was too late to go
that day, for Ladydear thought of
several little things she wanted to
fix about the children's clothes be-
fore their journey-for Signor An
gelO was man of great honor
among the Italians and she knew
they must be ready to go to several
places where they would meet
many Signors and Signoras and
perhaps count or duke or some
thing like that. Jack wanted to
wait until the next morning to go,
too, for he wanted Sir Sprigg to tell
some more of his soldier stories.
Early the next morning Lady
dear and the children got into the
airplane and Captain Brave jumped
in beside them and swiftly guided
the plane toward Naples.
They made landing on a level
place on one of the many hills
around Naples. Looking down
over the city, the children thought
they had never seen anything SO
beautiful as this city cuddling close
up to the bay. The purple waters
of the bay dotted with the sails of
many boats made Jack and Jane
want to go sailing right away.
Ladydear told them that they
should ask Signor Angelo if they
could not go sometime, but right

Box Craft for Your Room

BY Carolyn Shcrwin Bailey
Don't throw away one OF the
strong cardboard boxes that the
shops send to you. Each one will
give you a great deal of fun in us
ing your hands, and will make
something useful and attractive
for your room.
Homemade Weekend Bag
This is made from the strong
box in which your new suit came.
Lay the box and the cover on large
pieces of brown linen or denim and
trim to fit, cutting out the corners.
Stretch the cloth tightly over the
edges, gluing it in place SO that
both the box and the cover are
neatly covered. If you like, you
may make scented pads of Gre
tonne to fit the inside and tack
them in place This will hold your
weekend things beautifully ii you
fasten it with a shawl strap, and it
will serve for a longer trip, too.
