"Well, my parents, you see."

Half of Sylvie was very sorry that he
| hadn't remained Mr.. Richards. Mr..
Richards was the perfect man, gentle
man. DR.. Bernard Corlan was just a
man to be managed, coped with, and
very much like other men she had

picion that he would come back on her
terms-Something Mr.. Richards would
never have done. Funny how good
looking chap with soft voice can be
perfect in the moonlight-and just a
man when seen in an office!
Bernard seemed very anxious to prove
to Sylvie that he was merely human.
He dropped around the next evening,
ostensibly to see mother.
He asked Sylvie if she would go rid
ing with him at 10 o'clock. That was
the earliest that he could get around,
he explained.
What about your parents?" sylvie
asked.
II won't tell them." he announced
bravely.
Sylvie shook her head. That wasn't
the kind of an answer she had wanted
at all. But she went riding with him
and made up for her weakness by say
ing things insulting to the pride of
the Corlans.
A WEEK of heavy figuring on Ber-
n nard's part and of hopeless wonder
ment on SylvieS part. He came for her
every night, and together they rode
through Westchester while he talked
about himself. He feared that she didn't
care much about him. This proves that
Sylvie had missed ner vocation. She

"All right, then. I guess you're about

And DR.. Bernard Corlan, who had

upon grateful, .adoring maiden, took
into his arms his promised bride-Syl-

set the loss involved, the Zionist ex-
ecutives appropriated a special fund OF
about $4,000 for the erection of a
series Of new buildings in these settle
ments, the building operations being
carried out by the settlers themselves,
and the wages thus earned by them pro-
viding a means of livelihood.
The report also declares that the Rut-
tenberg Central Power Station will,
within years time. be supplying all
the settlements with electric power.
The irrigation of Jewish colonies will be
facilitated through the central hydro
electrical power station on the JORDAN.
The pipe lines for the projected irriga-
ton system in the Jordan Valley have
already been laid, so that next season
the settlements which suffered most
from the failure of crops will be able
to avail themselves of the new lrriga-
ton facilities.
The Zionist executives are also de-
voting their attention to the marketing
of produce farmed by Jewish colonists
and report the following for the past
year:
"One of the chief problems of coloni-
cation in Palestine Is that of marketing.
Apart from the oranges, of which Pal
eStine produces an abundance, grapes,
bananas and Spring vegetables might
easily be grown for export to the neigh
boring countries and to Europe. This
year, owing to the drought, the grape
harvest has been only about half the
normal. But this had the effect OF
sending up prices. so that more partlcu-
larly the settlements in the Jordan
Valley made good profits on their early
grapes. In collaboration with the gov
eminent, trial consignmentS of grapes
were made to England and of bananas
to Rumania. The Spring vegetables
grown in the Palestine foundation
fund settlements have not only cap
tured the local market but are finding
their way into the markets OF the
neighboring countries as well. Thus,
the settlements in the Jordan valley
have sent some of their produce 10

Now, wedding on the Concourse is
no light thing, especially when the
bridegroom is the only son of man
who has made half million in pearl
buttons. If the only son is also doc
tor, the wedding is still more elaborate.
You can figure on the Hoskinses being
there and the Sterns, and, quite pos
sibly the Gordons.
Sylvie was a little bewildered by the
things that happened and the things
that were expected of her. Bernard'S
father gave her check to cover her
expenses for wedding dress and acces-
sories.
"I'm funny like that" Sylvie said.
I'D like to buy my own wedding dress"
Mr.. Corlan was little worried about
the outcome of such an undertaking.
Sylvie's boss promised to get her the
veil and dress wholesale. but, at the
last minute. he got big-hearted and
charged her nothing for it.
You should be happy bride, Sylvie.
That outfit retails at $780," The boss
sighed heavily. Il can't afford to make
gifts like this. but l like you. You
see you leave"
ON the night before the wedding Syl-
vie and Bernard sat alone in the
living room of the Corlan apartment.
There was a long table before them
cleaning with silver and glass. We'd
ding presents. Sylvie was amused to
think that the olive dish was the only
thing sent by person she knew
Miriam had sent it. That was chilli
ing thought. All these people Bernard
knew were strangers to her. She
turned and locked at him. The amber
lamp threw its light upon them both as
they sat on the divan. Sylvie felt
humble and afraid of her good fortune.
She loved him so.
"Well, precious. tomorrow this time
We'll be married" he said.
"Yes, nice thought. huh?"
Love me lot?"
Enough
"Is that all?"
That's all. You've got your bad
points. You're conceited, you know"
That's only because know you love

did nothing that conventional veil

ladies said.
Sylvie thanked her prettily. She was
quite pleased with herself. They led
her to the dining room and deposited
her carefully upon a sofa. Nobody
must see her till the last minute.
Bernard came in.
"Oh, beautiful he cried. "You look
like a dream"
You're not so disgustingIy looking
yourself" said Sylvie.
IT wish they'd hurry things" he said.
Sylvie laughed and reached for Ber-

, looking at the elbows, so it would have

Sylvie threw off her sweater and
skirt and began to brush her hair Wig
| orously. The more she brushed it the
f1uffier it got. She looked at herself In
the mirror and smiled to see what a
frivolous creature her hair made her
out to be. Who would believe that a
brain simply sick with worry could lie
beneath mass of waves and ringletS?
Later, when she had the brown
taffeta on and had added color to her
lips and cheeks, she looked again at her
reflection. She thought of something
she had heard in the Office that day.
The boss had been entertaining social
caller when Sylvie had walked in to
announce that Mr.. Glassmier was out
side
Cope with him for 10 minutes" the
boss had ordered; then I'll see him"
Sylvie had withdrawn to start coping.
The caller had not waited for her to
get beyond earshot before remarking
Sam, that girls beauty"
The boss had laughed.
Why don't you have her modelling
the gowns, SAM"
shes got brains. Why waste her on
modeling?"
Sylvie pulled a chair over to the
closet and began to rummagc on the
shelf. Now there was a brown felt-oh,

Look about the apartment, to be sure
Mat everything was all right. Halfway
down the hall she stopped and return
pencil and hastily scribbled note to
her mother: Have gone out. Don't
worry. May stay at Miriam's tonight"
Sylvie propped the note against
book in the center of the table. She
didn't think it likely that she would
stay at Miriam's, but the possibility
would keep mother from waiting up for
her.
Miriam lived on CreSton avenue in
large apartment. Both her parents were
alive, and there were three brothers.
Sylvie envied MiriamS irresponsible eX-
iStence. Miriam earned SIT week and
was allowed to keep every cent of it.
Besides this boon, her brothers, each
in a different wholesale business, never
forgot to bring home odd lengths OF
material laces and ribbons.
Miriam was just 20, and Sylvie found
her, at times, a rather trying COM
panion. Sylvie was %, and she was
inclined to blame Miriam'S youth for
her Stiffness. A less charitable person
than Sylvie might have realized that
Miriam at 90 would still giggle and try
very earnestly to be amusing.

But Sylvie was not fated to ride In

Paul's friend had an antipathy toward
rumble seats and had trailed Paul in

~ cite. Slyvie could have helped,
and, perhaps, she should have;
but looking at things from an un-
biased angle, Sylvie didn't see why she
should. To begin with, Sylvie had
worked eight hours in an Office that
day, and had then ridden 40 minutes
in a subway train while hanging to
strap. She decided that mother
couldn't possibly be as tired as she her
self. She closed her eyes and drowsed
Mothers voice awakened her.
Sylvie looked up and realized that
she must have slept an hour. The
dishes were done and mother had on
her hat and coat.
"Sylvie, I'm going over to Davidson
avenue to see the LahnS. Get to bed
now, Sylvie. You look tired. Good
night"
Goodnight"
Sylvie remained on the couch, think
ing of her problems. Forty-two dollars
q month for a kitchenette apartment
on the top floor of Fordham walk-up.
Miles of apartment hunting had salts
fed her that this was the best she
could do. Thirty dollars a week was
her salary, and, because Sylvie always
faced facts with herself, she knew that
she would never be worth more than
that to any business Office. Food,
clothing, rent, gas, electricity, insur-
ance. doctors bills. recreation-all these
things must conle from that little $50
q week.
Sylvie pressed her hands to her eye
lids and sighed deeply. There was
pain that came in the back of her
head when thoughts like this assailed
her. Sylvie sighed again. What did
the future hold?
Suppose she fell in love? She could
not marry. Where was there a man
in her world who could afford to sup
port his wifes mother2 She saw her
self 20 years hence, and turned and
buried her face in the pillow.
The phone rang. 1t was Miriam,
Sylvies girl friend.
''Lo, Syl. What are you doing?"
Nothing. Why?"
Like to go out?"
"Where?"

the fellow will look like the breaking
up of a hard Winter or else he'll be

"Oh, come on, Syl; be a sport"
Sylvie thought it over for a moment.
After all. an evening alone offered
nothing but melancholy soliloquy on
the inpossibility of making ends meet.

tn. It is this second years growth
however, which makes a very coarse
hay that is rather undesirable for
feeding purposes. Under average
weather conditions sweet clover that is
sown this spring can be pastured this
fall and again next year around the
first week in May, and then in the
following spring it may be plowed
under for such crops as corn, toma-
toes, or soybeans. The numerous in
Quiries that are being received at the
county extension Office in Dover in re
gard to the cultural requirements of
sweet clover indicate that each year
more farmers are becoming interested
in thisscrop. While this legume is be-
ing recommended primarily as pas

stock such as sheep and hogs, several

use of it as a cover crop in their
orchards as one of the methods by
which the cost Of growing apples may
be reduced as compared to the expense
Of intensive cultivation. That the
sweet clOVef campaign Is Delng marked
with success is also indicated by the
fact that approximately 100 acres Of
this legume were sown in Kent coun-
ty in 1928, according to survey Of
the total amount of seed sold by the
varouis dealers. No definite compar-
ison can be made, however, in regard
to the acreage planted within the past
two years, as complete records of seed
sales were not obtained in 1927, but it
is reasonable to assume that the addi-
tional acreage for the county each
year has remained fairly constant to
the extent that it is estimated that
over 1000 acres of sweet clover have
been added to Kent county during this
period.

legume is to be grown on any partic
ular field for the first time. Either
the soil from another sweet clover
field or from a field in which alfalfa
has been grown, or the prepared in
oculation culture, may be used for this
purpose with satisfactory results.
While the usual rate Of seeding is
from fifteen to twenty pounds per acre
many farmers prefer to add few
pounds OF alsike clover and timothy
seed in order to provide an earlier
kind Of pasture than the sweet clover
affords the first season. Lime is a
very important factor to the success

alfalfa, SO unless the field has been
lined within the past two or three
years it is advisable to apply about
1000 pounds Of hydrated lime, or its
equivalent, per acre. This form of
lime may be applied as top-dressing
on wheat during the winter or early
spring months. Sweet clover is not
generally recommended for hay be
cause of the coarseness of the plants,
although it may be cut about the
first year if weather conditions have
been favorable for its growth thruout
