!, ing off a blow, and half rose from her rocker. Then she sat down again helplessly.
 Emmy" she said, twill you run out to the kitchen and see if that pudding's burning? And shut the door as you go."
 Emmy went. carefully closing the door behind her. But the sound of her grandmother's full. rich voice followed her into the hall.
 "A grafter! That's what your beautiful Charlie is!' she was say- ing now in her downright way. Living here on my brothers boun- tyl Letting anyone and everyone look after you and the children, while he skips around as if he didn't have a care in the world!"
 Emmy stood stock-still in the cold. dark little hall. listening. won- dering.
 He's . fine kind of husband for you. isn't he?" Grandmoth Pentlandss voice rose again. "A pretty rotten reed to lean on"
 Please. stop right there. Moth- er!" This time it was Mrs Milburn's voice. low and soft. but with . warning note in it that Emmy never had heard in it before. No one, not even you. can talk like that about Charlie to me! And here's your fif- ty dollars" There was a sudden rustling sound within the closed room, and Emmy fled on tiptoe to the kitchen. fearful lest she be caught eavesdropping. It came to her all at once that that was what she was doing.
 An oil lamp was burning brightly in the middle of the big white kitchen table. A tea kettle sang cheerfully on the coal stove. In the oven a bread pudding was turn ing to a smooth golden-brown. and on the rack above it a dozen pota- toes were baking.
 Emmy took a candle from the shelf between the windows and started upstairs. The sitting room door. as she passed it, was still closed, and from behind it caLie the steady murmur of voices.
 In her own small. white room at the back of the house. Emmy took off her hat and coat. Then she un- tied the package she had brought from down town and drew her mothers birthday present from the tissue-paper wrappings. It was pair of ivory white kid gloves, stitched with black.
 'Very swanky!" Emmy smiled to herself. pulling off the price tag and slipping the gloves back into their paper-lined box.
 She had always wanted her moth- CT to have a pair of white kid gloves to wear to vesper services at St. Paul's on Sunday afternoons in- stead of the black cotton ones that she had had for 50 long. To Emmy. at seventeen. white kid gloves seem- ed the height of elegance. and there was still a sparkle of satisfaction in hr eyes when she laid the box down upon her dresser. She had saved for those gloves.
 But the starry look died out of her face a seco1d afterward as she began to unlock the blue serge dress she had on. For the blue serge dress had once belonged to her cou- sin, Marianna Pentland. So had the brown-and- white gingham that Emmy took from the tiny clothes closet and slipped over her head.

with prejudice against this organixa. tion. which is one of the greatest charitable organizations of the world. People misunderstand it's ul- timate purpose and lPk it with scandals and grafts. and by so do- ing cause 2 great injustice.
 Governor Smith proved that he is independent of Tanmany and has defied it on many occasions and es- pecially former Mayor Hylan of New York. when he tried to boxG him. People are given the impress sion that all office noioers in the state of New York are Tammany men. out the fact remains that out of e4O appointments to political off, flee made by Governor Smith. only two Tammany men were given jobs. which disproves the general impress sion that Tammany rules New York and is reaching out to rule the country. The organization is a charita bie one and has no inclina- tions to govern the people of this country"
 Denies Prosperity Claims Miss Hurlburt further rapped claims of republican prosperity, stating that one-third of the opula- tion of this country esns1:5ts of farmers. and they by far are not prosperous and happy. Then talk ing the textile industry. the speak CT pointed out the crying need of reScuing one of the most important cogs in the wheel of American pros- perity. which has been badly neglected.
 We must look forward to bring ing prosperity to the nation as a whole and not a few. A growing number of millionasres does not mean national prosperity. and that is just what we have.

[ in the row. It had the same pointed same bay window jutting out over the front lawn. Uncle Bill Parks had built them all from the same set of plans.
 The bay window was Mrs. Mill burns watch-tower. The close of every day would find her standing there behind the curtains waiting for her husband and her children to come home.
 But she was not there now. The curtains hung in straight, stiff folds. and behind them was the yellow glow of lamplight.
 As Emmy pushed open the front door. the familiar fragrance of the house came sweeping up to her nos- trils. A mixed fragrance of fresh bread. dried roses. furniture polish. and absolute cleanliness. It was ton- ic after the woolly smell of Flower street outside. The hall was in shadow. But be- yond it the sitting room was full of light, and through the doorway Emmy could see her mother in her low rocker before the fire. She was looking thoughtfully at a green | bank note that she smoothed be- tween her fingers.
 Mrs. Milburn was a little woman with brown hair parted in the mid- dle. Her eyes were blue. and they had not lost youths trick of shin ing. She was forty-fiv but she did not seem middle aged. And you could not look at her without sec ing that, no matter how long she lived. she would always be young somehow.
 Emmy, is that you?" she called, with quick, birdlike turn of her head. Come in. Your Grandmoth- CTS here"
 Grandmother Pentland, in black broadcloth. black velvet, and black fur. was sitting bolt upright beside the pink-shaded lamp on the center table. She did not look like any body's mother. either. for the mat ter of that.
 With her broad shoulders, her commanding nose, and sharp. black eyes she might easily have been mistaken for triumphant con- gress-woman or the female head of a rolling mill. It was impossible to think of her as ever having washed small, dirty faces or sung babies to sleep on a warm breast in long go twilights. And yet, of course. she had.
 She held up a dry, smooth cheek for Emmy to kiss. and then went on with something she had been saying to Mrs. Milburn:
 Rosy! You take that money and send it to your Uncle Bill: do you hear me? That bad little Charlie hasn't sent him a penny of rent for two months, and your uncle is get ting pretty sick of him and his shiftless ways!"
 That bad little Charlie" was the way Grandmother Pentland usually spoke of her daughters husband, Charles Darwin Milburn. She had been speaking of him in that way for twenty-five years; and she felt that, so far, he had never done single thing to make her eat her words.
 Not that she would have eaten them anyway! She never took back anything that she ever said. Shs

 Uncle Bill Parks. who owned every
 foot of 1t except the ground where
 the woolen mill stood. had let Ter
 choose . name for it when she had some there to live. long years be-
 fore.
 And she had chosen "Elower street." hoping that her neighbors would take the hint.
 They never had. Not one of them. But that was Mrs Milburn for you. She was always trying to make things seem better than they were. Always doing her level best to bring them nearer to the hearts desire |. and the shabbier and uglier they were the harder she would try to coax them into something like beauty.
 For example, she always spoke of the neat. grassy square of yard e. hind the house as the garden" al- though 1t was not much bigger than g pocket-handkerchief. She made 1t . garden. too. with her own small work-roughened hands.
 When the stair carpet wore out ehe covered the steps with white paint and took to calling them "the wooden hill" If there happened to be nothing but plain fried bread for . meal. she would refer to it ele- gantly and cheerfully as French toast"
 There were other things in her iife-dark, unhappy things-that she dressed up with fine, brave words in the same way. Neither poverty nor worry nor the hardest kind of work. year in and year out had made her bitter.
 "Some folks are born with a sil- yer spoon in their mouths, but must have been born with a broom In my hand." she would say some- times at the end of a particularly hard day; and that was the only thing in the way of complaint that Emmy had ever known her to ut- ter.
 Az . matter of fact, she had been born with a gold spoon in her mouth, and she had exchanged it for . broom on her wedding day. But if she regretted her bargain, no Sne knew 1t from her.
 And in this shining optimism of hers she had brought up her three |children-Perry. the eldest, and Emmy. and young Dan. She wove To kind of friendly romance 50 thick |ly around the little yellow house that Emmy was almost a woman grown before she began to find out the real truth about it-and about Emmy never was sure just when |lt was that she did begin to find out |thinss about the little house. But Afterwards, as she looked back. it always seemed to her that it was on |a certain fifth day of November-a day that was filled with mist. a smell of far-off rain. and. the smoke of leaves burning along the lEutters-
 The fifth of November was Mrs.
 Ailburn's birthday. and Emmy had 'spent the whole afternoon down Itown buying a present for her. It was just five o'clock when she got |Dlf the Cedar avenue car at the cor ner-that last cold gray moment be- fore the street lamps are lighted and the dark becomes deeply blue.

JONES SHOOTS A 64
DESPITE HIS CARES"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ca. April 3.-Being an
active member Of local legal circles
hasn't hurt Bobby Jones golf game.
Despite the press of being attorney
for the Southern Railway and the re-
straint of serving on the directorate
of bank, Bobby has found time for
an occasional friendly setto over At
lanta courses and the results of those
rounds are fun Of portent to his pros
pective opponents this Summer.
Sunday, for instance, the British open
and national amateur champion parad-
ed around his home East Lake course
In a sparkling 81, registering nine
brides In the iaunt and once slipping
. stroke over par. This round, casual
as 1t was, came within one stroke Of
eQualling the record for the course
which Bobby set himself In 1922. That
63, nine under par. he achieved through
the simple expedient Of making nine
pars and nine brides.
The fact that he Is apparently quite
@on" his game has caused much re-
viyai Of q favurite golfing question
%uill Bobby be able to resist the Brit
ish open this year7"
Bob says he viii: that he win not
defend his title In May across the
waters.
But then, argue the stubborn fol-
lowers Of Jones. he said the same thing
last year-that he would not 60 TO
England-and the last minute found
him unable to stay away.
Watchful waiting seems the only
course for his devotees to pursue.

THROUGH such stalwart players as
Robert Burton, Arthur Bennett
and John Keto have been lost
4 by graduation from the Tech
High golf team, the Manual
Trainers, who won the informal public
high title last Spring, have high hopes
of again triumphing this year.
Edwin Burr, captain; Robert Hird,
manager, and Roger Peed are among
the leading members of this seasons
squad. Alexander. who was ineligible
part of the time last season, Is also on
the lob and there Is considerable prom
ising green material available.
Candidates for the team have been
working hard for some time. Qualify
ing play at 18 holes to pick the tenta-
tive first team. to consist OF six play
ers. will be held Saturday at East Po-
tomac. Once the team is chosen the
players cannot afford to lay down, as a
system of challenges will be in vogue
which will enable golfer who stands
close to another in the rankings to get
a match with that linksman.
Many leading golfers Of the public
high schools are entered in the indi-
vidual championship match at 36 holes
to be contested tomorrow. John Shorey
of Central won the event last year. He
has graduated and fine fight for his
laurels Is the prospect tomorrow.
A trio Of diamond games are carded
for scholastic toSserS hereabout tomor-
row. Eastern and Gonzaga are to come
together at Eastern, Dewitt will enter
tain Leonard Hall here on the south
Ellipse, and Tech will travel to Alexan-
dria to engage Episcopal in a game
postponed from last Saturday.
Eastern will be making its seasons
debut SO far as formal competition is
concerned, as will Gonzaga. Both teams
have lost valuable players from last
season, but are by no means without
considerable clever talent. An idea as
to Just how they may be expected to
shape up this season is apt to be avail
able after tomorrow'S clash.
Dewitt drubbed Leonard Hall. at Leon
ardtown, Md. Saturday. Is to 8. with
out great difficulty. and is favored to
again come through tomorrow.
Tech and Episcopal both will get
their first competitive action of the
season. 1t will be the third attempt
of the Manual Trainers and Episcopals
second to get started. Bad weather has
halted the teams so far.
