"Of course I do" Jerry Macklyn
admitted grinly. Maybe I want it
to be dangerous-for Vee-Vee. At
any rate, here's my propostion-take
it or leave it! I'll beau you around
for three weeks. Well dine to-
gether, go to theaterS, dance, play
golf on Saturday afternoons and
Sundays. And all the time I'll coach
you in the ways of woman with a
man."
"Where do I come in, Jerry Mack
lynn" Flora demanded Indignantly.
II suppose 1t was understood that I
was to be a member of the faculty
of the charm school, too"
why not make 1t a foursome
about half the time? You and young
Peter. Vee-Vee and I? The kid
needs example as we'll as direct in
struction, and I know of no more
competent graduate of the charm
schol than Flora Cartwright"
Does it always have to be-Peter
and me, you and Vee-Vee?" Flora
gave him a slow, tantalizing smile.
"Oh, we'll switch partners now
and then, so Vee-Vee can practice
on young Peter" Jerry assured her
innocently. What do you say, Wee
Vee?"
Before the girl could answer the
door bell Shrilled. Flora flew to
answer it, throwing a gay comment
over her shoulder: 81 told Peter to
stay away, but I knew he couldn't
do it. I don't know what I'm going
to do with the poor, infatuated in
fant!'
But 1t was not Peter. 1t was the
uniformed elevator boy, delivering
an immense box of flowers.
"Peter is so extravagant," Flora
murmured, pleased smile playing
over her face. Then suddenly her
smile was wiped out; her blue eyes
turned to ice. "It's for you, Vera.
From Peter, suppose.
II think, Jerry" she turned to the
embarrassed young man, that your
time could be spent to better ad-
vantage in teaching passe middle
aged woman how to hold her suitors.
Vee-vee doesn't seem to be in any
urgent need of instruction"
Flora flashed an April smile at
Jerry over Vee-Vee's shoulder. I've
been so bored with poor, dear Peter.
I'm glad he's at last taken mo- for
an answer. You don't know, Jerry
what relief it will be to me to as
sociate with a clever, mature man, a
real man of the world! Well have
great fun watching the youngsters,
won't we, Jerry?"
Jerry Macklyn rumpled his in
credible red hair with distracted
hand. looked as if he we're about to
run for his life; then a pair of en-
erald eyes flashed a provocative,
challenging glance at him, an ador-
able mouth dimpled, and he NUT

INDIANA SHOWS
june BUSINESS
ABOVE NORMAL
Margin of 3 Per Cent Re-
corded in Industrial
Production.
BIZ Times Special

BIZ Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, July 3d.
industrial production during June
stood at per cent above normal and
cross currents were noticeable in the
five industries upon which it is
based" said Charles F. Benzel, di-
rector of the Indiana University
bureau of business research, in his
current report to the Indiana
Business Review which is published
by the Fletcher American National
Bank, Indianapolis.
Building was considerably (65
per cent? above it's normal trend, as
was the case in April and May. Pig
irea production and electricity were
also measurably above their points
of estimated normal. Stone produc-
ton was below it's estimated figure,
although it registered a considerable
improvement over recent months
Benzel's report shows that June
business in Indiana was 3 per cent
better than during May, showing
some recovery from the seasonal re-
cession in May. There was also an
incyaeSs of is per cent over June,
1929 lodiana business is on high
rlanA. Senzel indicates, following
%seady progress during recent years.
Underlying conditions reflect sta
bility and prospects are for contin-
ued good volumes of business.
Goal production is outstanding
with gain of 46.5 per cent over
last month, and is followed by stone
production, livestock receipts, and
automobile accessories production
for which increases of over 5 per
cent were registered" said Benzel.
"Gains of less than per cent over
last month were shown by whole
sale dry goods, bank debts, and life
insurance.
Automobile production and new
car sales suffered most severely with
dLe-.-eeses respectively of 15.5 per
cent and 20 per cent. Seasonal
trends accounted for the losses in
pig iron production, electricity and
department store sales. Other lines
showing declines are building con-
tracts, bank deposits, chain drug
store sales, postof1ce receipts and
advertising.
