Ann Marie stopped talking

opened and her sister, Alice,
stepped out into the hall.

black silk stockings, her
patent leather sinners with
their two-inch heels.
Alice made great fuss
over all men.
To be nice to them-to

them lose their heads over
her was not a "ame with
Alice but business.

sense at all, he stops wasting
his time on her. He forgets
her. Puts her out of his
mind. F"
Ann Marie gave a soft
little laugh. "You talk as
if love could be turned off
and on like a water faucet"
she said. How can a man
forget a girl that he's crazy
about?''
1t took Johnny a minute
or two to think up an an
swer for her.
"Oh, he starts running
around with some other
girl" he said at last. "You
know, there are a lot of
pretty girls in the world,
Ann Marie. p"
"Girls who WILL let a
man make love to them all
he wants to, you meant"
"Sure. Plenty of them !
Johnny nodded. "Most girls
expect a man to make a fuss
over them, and they re dis
appointed if he doesn't. It's
a thrill to make love, and
who doesn't want a thrill, l
ask you'"
Ann Marie sat perfectly
Still !" But she knew
that she, for one, had not

minutes ago when she had

roadster as long as she could

so that's the way a man
looks at it," she said to him
softly. eff the girl he loves
won 't-won't neck-why he
gives her up for the girl who
will. Is that it?"
Well, that s a crude way
of putting it, Johnny an
swered. "But it hits the
nail on the head. You see,
Ann Marie, when a man s
crazy about a girl he wants
her to show a little pep
when he's around. -
He stopped the car beside
the curb in front of the old
shabby brown house.
The windows of the lower
floor were bright with yell
low lamplight and from
within came the sound of
swift, lively music.
In the driveway at the
side of the house a car was
parked "a large, light
colored, closed ear.

the door Of his own car for
Ann Marie.
"He probably brought
Jeanie and Alice home from

shopping all afternoon, and

Jeanie around as usual, !"

Then suddenly he leaned
over and started the engine
of his car. It leaped for
ward through the puddles Of
Front Street.
"Plenty of girls in this
town don't feel about me
the way you do," he said
sullenly when the car was
turning into Pleasant Street.
"Jeanie and Alice don't, for
instance.
Jeanie and Alice were Ann

She laughed aloud as if
this were a great joke, but
her eyes were serious and
they never left his face as
she spoke.
"I-I just asked Ann
Marie to go with me. Just
asked her this afternoon, "
the man answered, looking
from her to Ann Marie.

Ann Marie spoke up with

She stopped suddenly, and
lifted her face to Johnny
Lawler's face. It was like a
pearl against the gray dark
ness, and her smile, even in
the darkness, was enchant-
ing,
Perhaps, you won't want
me to go to the dance to-
morrow night, Johnny" she
said, "now that we've had
this quarrel. -
Her spirits sank at the
thought of giving up the
dance and all that it meant
the country-club ballroom
decorated with holly and fir
branches, the lights, the
dance music, The gay holiday
crowd. Good times did not
come Ann Marie s way very
often, and she looked for
ward to a party with the
happy eagerness of a child.
"Sure | want you to go, !"
Johnny Lawler said, and he
sounded cross and impatient.
"You know I'm crazy to
have you go with me, only l
wish you wouldn't act like
a Sunday-school teacher all
the time. I"
They went up the steps of
the old house, side by side.
Ann Marie fished in her
handbag for her key.
" Well, even if we have
quarreled, | feel as if we
know each other better than
we ever did BEFORE" " she re-
marked as Johnny unlocked
the front door and opened it
for her.
Late afternoon always
meant certain things in the
Macys' house.
1t meant the opening and
closing of the big front door
as the family came home,
one by one, from their day
of business or pleasure.
1t meant the lighting Of
lamps and the rustic of the
evening newspaper from the
back parlor, where Mr.. Macy
read and smoked in his easy
chair.
1t meant the pleasant
clatter of dishes and silver
from the dining-room, where
Mrs. Leasnre, who had been
housekeeper in the mother
less home for almost 20
years, would be setting the
table at this time of day. 1t
meant the appetizing smell
of supper cooking in the
kitchen.
It meant, almost always,
the rattle and bang of jazz
music from the upright pi-
ano in the front parlor, as
Jeanie or Alice attacked it.
Jeanie played fairly we'll,
but Alice was a wonder
when it came to piano-play-
ing. She could play "by
ear" and she had a Groom
ing voice that was just made
for popular songs.
She was singing one now,

LEGAL FIAT LOSES WHEN SCHOOL
GIRL WIFE IS ORDERED TO GOHOME
Sentiment and Law Clash When Bride of 65-YearOld
Man Is Directed to Look After His Children.

His young wife, it was learned, was
caring for the other three at home.
Bennett admitted there was a VIOLA
ton of the law which had been written
into the school boards program for
"wiping out illiteracy In Albemarle
County," but he could not ascertain the
responsible person. He debated hold
ing the girl, the husband or the girls
father culpable, as interpretations of
the statute could hold any of the three
guilty.
The case reached an anti-climax
when Harlow came to the superin-
tendent's office and asserted his desire
to observe the law, irrespective Of con-
sequences, and said he would send his
wife to school. Bennett reproached the
man for marrying a girl so young and,
after warning him mot to do such a
thing again." stated that the wife's
place was in the home and not in the
classroom. She will not return to
school.

OFFICERS NAMED
AT CAPITOL HEIGHTS
Council Also Selects Commit
tee to Work Out Road
Assessment Plan.
By q stan Correspondent Of The star.


CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md, October
disappointment Of several new town
officers and Of q committee to work out
special road assessment plan consti-
tuted the outstanding features of the
monthly meeting Of the mayor and
council last night.
The new officers are Thomas Forchee,
appointed town bailih by Mayor Thomas
j. Luckett, with the approval Of the
council, and William Peck, appointed
bailif for 80 days. Edmond Polglase,
Spector, succeeding william Boswell,
whose business interests take him out
Of town most of the time.
Road Committee.
The road-assessment-p committee
comprises Councilmen Frank Lyons and
Joseph Lare. The committee will study
what Is known as the "betterment plan"
whereby property owners on each side
of the street improved are assessed one
third of the cost and the town only has
to pay one-third.
It Is hoped some such arrangement
may be worked out in time to start
permanent street improvements next
Spring. It is possible that whatever
plan Is adopted will be tried on Sixty
first street, and If found practicable APP
piled to other streets of the town. For
this reason the proposed surfacing Of
Sixty-flrst street will not be undertaken
this Fall.
However a street-paving program will
get under way Immediately, 1t having
been decided at the meeting to ask for
bids for the laying of sidewalk along
Central avenue from Sixty-flrst street to
the post Office this week. Bids will be
received up to November IL.
Sidewalk Authorized.
A four-foot gravel sidewalk was au-
thorized to be built on the north side
Of Central avenue from Stxty-Second
street to Shade Side avenue for the par
ticular benefit and protection Of school
children coming from the Maryland
Park neighborhood.
The road committee was instructed
to gravel Washington avenue north OF
Central avenue and to secure an eSti-
mate for the cutting down OF knoll
on that avenue south of Central. It is
possible a gravel road may be built
when the knoll is removed.
The question of amending the towns
charter so that any person who has
been q resident of the town for a year
may participate In elections, regardless
of whether he is registered on the State
books, was raised. The council was adj
vised that such an amendment could
be made II an application containing
the signatures Of Is per cent or more
Of the persons participating in the last
town election asked for q special cleo
ton on the matter. It was indicated
such a petition including the proposed
amendment would be presented at the
next council meeting.
