The funny thing about it was
that the thing they had been

Richmond, Va, Oct. 12- Not in

enthusiastic and popular recogni-

accorded Governor Alfred f. Smith,

The "Victory Special, bearing

packed the building and were bank

As the caravan of motor cars,

In the Capitol Square crowed

Yours truly,
Morris Phipps.

We are always glad TO get such
etters as the above and more so
when we can have chance to pub
ish them. We desire to state here
that the columns of this paper are
open to any and all who wish to ex-
press their opinion to the public and
If such articles as the one written
oy "Dobber" does not meet with
he approval of Mr.. Phipps then we
have no apologies to make and are
only too glad to cancel his subscipt-
ion. 1t was only rs cents worth at
the beginning. We would further
state, for the information of Mr..
Phipps, that the man who signs as
"Dobber" and who is the writer of
the article referred to, is none other
than Mr.. E. S. Counts, of Bart Lick,
Va, We wonder if Mr.. Phipps will
deny the fact that Mr.. Counts is a
highly respectable citizen of this
County as we'll as Mr.. Powers, and
we take pleasure in stating here
that both Mr.. Counts and Mr.. Pow
ers are, in our opinion, numbered
among the leading citizens of our
County.
Why didn't Mr.. Powers say some
thing or attack Mr.. Counts? He
knows who this man "Dobber" is,
and we believe he knows him even
better than Mr., Phipps knows him.
Mr.. Phipps seems to have changed
good deal since last fall. We would
respectively call to his attention
some of the political garbage, as
he calls it,, that was run in our pap
er last fall, and it was lot worse
than the article by Mr., Counts, and
yet Mr.. Phipps sat silent and read
every word of it, and instead of or
dering his subscription suspended,
was very ready to notify us in the
event he missed getting copy of
the paper. Why don't Mr.. Phipps
say something in defense of Mr..
Duty who was also mentioned in
the article by "Dobber', he seems
to have forgotten that Mr.. Duty is
also an outstanding citizen of our
County.
Probably Mr.. Phipps would have
us trying to run little "ditry one
sided political sheet, but if this is
his idea, he might as well dismiss it

But even if the bath outraged her

Her mind was calmer now than

numbing grip of fear and to con-
centrate on the problems before
her, while adaptability saved her
from succumbing to despair.

told Colette she would send for
her things that morning.
She called the office and gave Mr..
Deans address. They promised they
would have the things that after
noon.
1t was after one o'clock when Vir-
GINA decided to wait in for them
before going to Mr.. Gardeners Of
flee with the pearls. She was tired
and hot and thought gratefully of a
bath.
From her bag she got her bath
salts and soap and went in to pre-
pare the tub. The water ran rusty
and lukewarm. Virginia shuddered
fastidiously and turned it off.
GingeTly taking a cloth by one
corner, she forced the last drop Of
it dow the drain pipe and then
turned on the cold water to rinse
the tub. She tried hard not to re-
greet the spacious, sunken tub she
had been accustomed to, With a
shower of perfumed water, and
thick, f1eecy towels, each as large as
four of these that hung in this bath
room.
1t wouldn't have been such mis-
cradle contrast if there'd been a
shower of any sort, she thought. She
wouldn't plunge her immaculate
body into that rusty stuff and Vir-
GINA liked hot bath even in sum-
mer, and the tingle of rosy skin after
the clear cold shower to follow.
She went back to the bedroom
and took off her clothes. A moment
later she was standing in the tub
pouring cold water over herself
from the drinking glass.
The inadequacy Of her makeshift
Arrangement drew a smile even as
she forced back the tears of Of
Tended taste, taste that had been
