At first, Forbes didn't re-
member Bill, but gradually it
dawned on him that this was
the sensible young man who
used to call on Angela. He had
liked this young Mr.. Parker.
"How are you?" he asked,
with real interest.
Fine, thanks. I've been read

lost on Forbes. "It said that

seemed reverence.
Suddenly it dawned on Bill
that Forbes was taking him

Completely at a loss to know
how to escape from q situation

off the lawn toward Van Dyke.

and q henna rinse after my
nanicure?" she aoked the an
pointment-girl suddenly.
The girl nodded and shouted
for another girl named Betty.
Betty was small and dark
and pretty. Her hair had the
gloss and color of ripe chest
nuts, and it looked as If it
never had had any henna or
curling iron on it.
She said that she had time
to give Lcvejoy q rinse, and
she went to work In q most
busineSS-like manner.
BY half past eleven Lovejey'S
lovely hair was two shades red
der than it ever had been be-
fore, and the effect was start
ling. Her skin seemed whittier
than usual and her eyebrows
and her thick laSheS looked as
black as jet.
But her hair held the smell
of the henna even after two
waShings. So on her way out
of the shope she bought q little
bottle Of rose perfume and
emptied it over her head.
Didn't anyone telephone for
me?" she asked the girl at the
appointment desk, glancing
down at the little watch on
hel, wrist.
It was ten minutes before
twelve now. Surely Steve must
have come down to his office

He shook his head.

the corner Of his desk.

He spoke awarkwardly, but
his eyes met hers levelly and
coolly. She saw that he meant
what he was, saying, and that
he had thought it all out and
was very sure Of himself.
But isn't it rather late in
the day to decide that?" Love
Joy asked him. "This~ isn't the

426 Factories in This State are
Engaged in Producing Pro-
ducts from Metal

washington First Service)
Factories which use metals as their
basic raw material rank third in
value of annual output among all
groups of manufacturing estab-
lishments in Washington state. The
metal products group, with an .es-
timated 1929 output valued at $45,-
00o, 600, is surpassed only by the
states lumber plants and the flour
and grain mills.
Output of Tin Cans Large
Four hundred twenty-six of the
states total of more than 6,100
factories of all kinds are engaged
in production of metal products.
These factories include machine
shops, boundaries, steam and cleo
tric railroad car shops, can fac
tories, iron and wire works, sheet
metal shops, stove and furnace
factories, electroplating establish
ments and concerns engaged in
making forgings, agricultural ma
chinery, patterns and models, tools
and copper products.
The output of tin cans and tin
ware alone in the state for 1929
will approximate S6,0O0,0 00-altho
there are but five factories engag-
ed In this business in the state.
The lat machine shops, foun-
daries and car shops in the state
will account for probably S30,000,-
600 of the s45,OO0,000,000 1929
output of the metal working estab-
lishments.
