 During these days I prayed fervent- ly for help and guidance, as we'll as seeking all the aids I could find to assist me in mnking my husbands home happy one for him, and to help me win him utterly. June gave me un- selfishly of her time and advice. As she was wonderful housekeeper, al- though no older than I, her assistance was invaluable. She planned menus, went to market and patiently taught me how to judge the best cuts of meat, etc. She told me what books to buy to get hints as to table decorations and service, because 1 had explained to her once just what wanted to do.
 You see, June, not only want to run things as smoothly as Manville did. 1 want to excel him." l was not skimped in any way as to money and so felt free to use any helps I could find.
 Il never dreamed you could be so determined about anything. I shall have to look to my laurels. I'll soon be coming to you for hints as to how to run my table"
 June helped me plan my bridge. Man vile advised eight tables and helped me choose my guests. l had waited to give it until l had played as good a game as almost an yone whom we would invite. Of course I sent an in- vftation to his aunt, although 1 told Mamille 1 was afraid she wouldn't accept and that we had better have some one in mind to take her place if she refused.
 Shell come all right. She loves bridge too much to refuse"
 But she did refuse, and too late to fill her place, so giving, me a very un- happy evening instead of the happy one had anticipated.

 "I say, Marian! We would not have believed 1t of ourselves-you and r. would we-that we would go up to St. Stephens separately and of our own accord? But, to tell the truth, Helen -she's the girl, you know--suggested it, and I was glad to go with her. It did me good.

Old Mir. Toad Watches Granny Fox
 WHEN little Mrs. Peter called Old w Mir. Toad to one side out of
 hearing of Peter Rabbit and told him how Old Granny Fox had been hanging around, and how she was sure that Granny was doing it because she had heard that Peter was sick and hoped to catch him out after a bit of sweet clover, Mir. Toad listened and nodded his head as if. he quite agreed with her. But when she told him about the young Meadow Mouse which Granny had caught and left at the entrance to one of Peter's private little paths he gave Mrs. Peter funny, sidewise look.

CHAPTER f7a


 lH letter to Marian Horton from
 Frederic Parker. Early on Tues day moning she received telegram.
 fWill write as soon as arrangements gre made" it said.
 Then he"w was making definite ar engagements for her to dance at New York cabaretl A sudden panic seized the girl. Of course this was what she had wanted him to do-yet his message sounded terribly definite, as if there were no loopholes of escape.
 She said as much to George Dixon when he ran in to see her that eve ming. She was sure that he had come to talk of his own affairs, but in spite of this fact she wanted to unburden her soul to him.
 Parker is not the kind of man who would commit you to anything" he as- sured her. Why, Marian, you might know that"
 She smiled faintly. "Of course I know it!" she admitted. And now that you have called my attention to the fact I see that have been foolish. But 1 have thought and brooded over this whole affair 80 long that l hardly know what 1 do want"
 Dixon's common sense was just what she needed to enable her to see things sanely.
 Anyway, job in New York is what you are after, isn't tT George remind ed her.
 "Yes. Only the telegram sounded so final"
 Nothing is final-except death and the income tax" George laughed. You can go to New York, and if you don't like the job that Parker proposes. you don't have to take it. See? You can always come home-if you have the price. If you haven't, wire me, and I'll stake you"
 She smiled again, althought she felt like crying, and she patted his hand.
 Good old George!" she murmured, "Dear-I think she is lovely" He started in surprise and flushed

Figaro; ''the play was hard without b. ing brutal" Tn the second half, how ever, there was 'an unpleasant episodsv when Larransa of the Spanish team rot excited and kicked an Italian player who was down. 'eThe referee, without hesitation, put him off the field, deei- sion whic was loudly missed by tho Spanish rooters and as loudly applaud ed by the Italians"
 "The play then became rough, but the referee distributed blows freely, which calmed the players" Though reduced to ten "rugbymen," the Epaniards coss- stantly menaced their adversarie3 goal until Vallana pulled his bonehead and then the stuff was off for the Iberians though that is not precisely the French phraseology.

One Mother Says:

When my children were little I had very high ideals about their behavior {; in fact, expected them to be practi- cally perfect. One time when 1 was scolding them for fussing, my own mother came into the room and smil- ingIy assured me was making the same mistake she had made when her children were small--too little praise. She explained that children will do things wrong, but if they are praised for things they do right they won't feel they are making so many mistakes that it is impossible to please mother.

OVER FOR TRIAL
in BORDER CASE
Well Known Business
Man Charged by P0pu-
lar CalexicO Girl

Luis Flores, formerly vice presi
dent of the Lower California Brok.
erage company, and prominent
Mexican, was bound over to the
Superior Court late yesterday after
noon, after his preliminary hearing
had been completed in Judge May
fields court. Flores is charged
with seduction under promises to
marry Teresa Ana Figueroa, popu-
lar Calexico girl.
In commenting on the case, Judge
Mayfield said this morning that
witnesses from Calexico yesterday
brought to light some of the most
startling conditions in the border
cities and in their testimony gave
evidence of vice and practices that
would not be equalled in any 9TH
er place in America.
Captain Bob Davis, recently inn
plieated in the gambling episode
at the Pioneer Saloon, in which
action was taken by the Mexican
officials to close the saloon and or
der his deportation, was placed on
the stand to testify. He said that
he had seen every class of people
in Mexicali resorts and that for
anyone who had lived there long
it was a simple proposition to dis
tinguish between those who were
frequenters of the saloons, dance
halls and cabarets and those who
were occasional visitors.
Flores, through his attorney, at
tempted to show that Miss Figueroa
was a frequenter of Mexieali cafes
and that she had not been misled
by him. He produced as evidence
checks amounting to nearly $40O,
alleged to have been spent by him
for her.

LAND LAW CASE

Whether an appeal in the ease of

Judge Conkling granted an injunc-
tion restraining the attorney gen
eral and the district attorney from
starting action against Carter or
Singh in the event they signed a
cropping contract, will be taken to
the appellate court or not has not
been announced officially as yet,
although rumors are that such an
appeal is possible.
In the other of the two alien land
law cases tried before Judge Conk-
ling, that of X. Nogi, Japanese, who
was arrested ON charge of viola
tion of the alien land law and whose
petition for a writ of habeas corpus
was granted by Judge Conkling in
connection with his decision, there
can be no appeal, according to At
torney Ross Hickcox, one of the at
torney representing Nogi.
The decision filed yesterday by
Judge Conkling in these two cases
has attracted statewide attention
and is said to open the way to all
sorts of bonus employment con
tracts.
That the decision of Judge Conk-
ling will not delay trial of case
involving similar points set for June
4 in superior court in Los Angeles,
was the statement issued there to-
day. Deputy Attorney General
Becker maintains that such crop
ping contracts are attempts to evade
