WHEN A GIRL MARRTES
A Neu Serial of Young Married Life
BY Ann Isle

"Val's ball7-or, how pay VaIs bill ?"
asked Mr.. Cosby loosely, landing on my
left instep just then, so I knew that he
was as heavy of foot as of wit.
We were approaching the door IN the
side wall, and 1 saw Tom Mason come
in and stand for second looking around
the magnificent blue and green and crys-
tai sea cavern shimmering In its man
made moonlight.
After an evening of Lans Cosby's
heavy handed, heavy footed heavy witted
attentions l was frank enough with my
self to acknowledge that I was glad to
see Tom.
Hurry" I breathed. half to myself,
half aloud.
| Lane Cosby steered me out INTO the
middle Of the foor-out toward the foun-
tain.
Look! Isn't she wonderful?" he
cried, breathing heavily from the COM
bined efforts Of talking and dancing.
In the entrance to the crystal grotto
| stood Valerie Cosby, trying to pull Jim
into her seashell chariot He made a
gesture Of refusal, and as he did she
| pushed him away, turned her back and
started slowly toward the conservatory.
Then Tom Mason started forward hur-
| riedly. The music stopped, and Lane
Cosby lingered at the fountain a min
ute, dipping e corner of his scented,
monogrammed linen handkerchief into it
and pressing the damp triangle to his
temples.
Tom continued across the floor. I could
see that he was in pursuit of the blue
and green robe, And suddenly I
laughed as I understood
Then Valerie stopped, lifted her
creamy arms and draped back a strand
of crystal that had Ioosened from the
wall. Tom caught up with her leaned
| forward, spoke-and then drew back sud-
denly. l saw Valerie turn smile at him
/ provokingly from heavy -lidded eyes, move
her ripe red lips in speech and then glide
on.
Tom followed her. Suddenly wasn't
amused any more I felt chagrined, more
alone than ever. I wanted TO go home.
/ = I had given Mrs Cosby the blue
robe-and now with a single slow smile
! she had taken possession Of tho owner.
| Ny cheeks burned with reseI .ment,
had been so sure Of Tom Mason's inter
est. 1t appeared I couldn't even hold
| that. 1t seemed I couldn't be sure Of any
man-with a woman like Valerie Cosby
around.
I turned to look for Jim. He, too,
WAS watching Tom Mason and Mrs. Cos

EVENTS BEGIN TO
MOVE RAPIDLY.
After the Cabinet meeting OF March
90. when decision was reached that Con-
gress should be asked to declare war,
things moved with increasing rapidity.
Admiral Mayo had notified me that he
planned to bring his gunnery exercises
and maueuvers 10 nm end by April g. and
to start north for home w1tera We were
anxious to In .ertere as llttle as possible
with the important practice work on
cuba. but when Il was settled beyond
reasonable doubt that wa were to become
n belligerent, we decided to call the at
lantc fleet northward at once. SO fol-
lowing the March 20 meeting I dispatched
an order which headed the fleet Tor Hamp-
ton Roads.
That same afternoon, accompanied by
Admiral Benson. chief Of naval operations.

BLENDING LIQUIDS.


Q. How long will different liquids re-
main mixed? E. D. A.
A. In general liquids will remain per-
manently blended II one is soluble In the
other, as for example, a blend Of gaso-
line and lubricating oil With emissions,
the rule is that the emulsion will not be
permanent unless q third liquid Is pres
ent to coat the drops and prevent their
reuniting. When one liquid is not sol
uble in the other, and no emulsion is
formed, the liquids may stay mixed for a
time If they are Of nearly the same spe-
cihc gravity. The greater the difference
in specific gravity the quicker they will
seDarate

Rather disappointing. then, is the fact that when
