1t is significant that Dempsey
could go out on the golf links yes
terday and shoot nine holes with q
better score than he has been doing.
To the golfer and those who know
the game, this feat shows that his
nerves are very, very calm. Had
he any worries on his mind. he
would, say the golfers, be increasing
his number of strokes rather than
be cutting them down.

Millie was beautiful. But she had

she managed to say, and to speak

She did not see John Nye again

It was 10 o'clock on New Years

It is hard to get a table in
most restaurants in this country
on New Years eve. Almost every
place that serves food and pro-

the year.
But Aunt Emily's "House by

half full. and neither Aunt Emily

reason for It.

"I've been doing awfully well

Sally sat up straight. She knew

are a vestigal appendage that has
come down to US from the sword

Barrons, date back to the days
when gentlemen wore swords and
buttoned their sleeves back. They
were useful in the times when
umbrellas were unknown because
the sleeve could be more closely
