she did not desire to push him away
and slap his face.
When he let her so she faced
him breathlessly.
"Are-have you gone mad? Be-
fore al. these people"
Perhaps" he smiled crookedly
40 her. But ! thought you wanted
me to. You really invited It, you
know"
She gasped at him-too astonish-
ed and angry 70 speak and he
smiled again.
Don't tell me you kiss every
one like that. I don't believe you"
She wanted to scream out that
she hadn't kissed him. But she
couldn't very well argue the point
under the circumstances. She be-
lieved he would laugh at her-and
she didn't want him TO look at her
again in that amused way he had
and laugh. II made her feel like a
very smarty-alecky LITTLE girl being
tolerated by a very wise grown up.
Did ne think he could treat her
like a child because she had shown
she had a heart and did not want
10 hurt his feelings? He had shown
he wanted her TO be a nice little
girl. Vry angelic. Then he had taken
the liberty 10 kiss her and then
laugh about ID. IN broad daylight!
She decided then she would try 70
hurt him again.
She would make him think she
might be Just as reckless as he had
assumed she was when she went out
with Greg Du Pont and told him
her reasons for going. So she drew

My Dear Gideon:
This Is Just a line to let you know you stIll live In
our memory. The children all speak OF YOU quite
often. They do not remember your face. OF course.
but they hear me speak Of you and have seen numer-
Gus references to you in the cable news ever since thew
were little tots.
1t Is for their sake that I sincerely hope you are
alive and well and that We may some day see YOU
again. as the neighbors are beginning to talk. It was
al right for the first four or five years to tell them
you were in London at a naval conference but they
no longer believe that story and I can tell by their at
titude that they really believe you are in jail or some
thing.
oh. how I yearn to see you again. Gideoni I am
quite sure I would know you. although you have
probably changed a lot during the years since I last
saw you. Have you aged greatly or taken on flesh?
The children have come on a lot during the confer
ence debate on cruiser. Willie. who was but three
years old when the conference first took I'D that
question. Is now in his senior year in High School,
and Hilary, who was five the month you and the dele
gates first began discussing battleship requirements,
made the varsity football team at Yale last fall. Eve
lyn. who was in the cradle when the parley debated
young man and she often asks me what her daddy
is like. Would that I could remember.
I suppose you know We no longer live in the old
home. The march Of progress could not be halted
and a few years ago the house was RACED to make way
for a fifteen-story business block. The whole neigh
borhood is no longer residential and the old railroad
station. where we saw you off to the London Naval
Limitations Conference. has been replaced by a new
and magnificent structure.
Did you know that President Harding had died?
Probably you have heard Of that. A boy named
Lindbergh flew to France alone in an airplane called
the Spirit Of st. Louis. General Smedley Butler has
been retained to drive crime out OF Philadelphia. and
a young writed named Eugene ONeill has written e
sensational play called Desire Under the Elms."
Well. outside Of that. things are about the same.
think I told you in my last letter that I lost an eye
In a taxicab accident some years ago and that I have
been quite i'll ever since the Hudson-Fulton celebra-
ton. I am feeling better now. though.
DO try to break away from the conference. If only
for two or three years, 50 the family can see what
you look like again. II you can arrange to come
home cable me and I will meet you at the station. I
will wear a red rose so you will know me. You can
carry an American flag.
With all the love in the world, and hoping we may
live to see the naval parley ended, I am
Your loving wife.
Emma.

she could love Andree Durkin as she
did. Perhaps. after al, she was
just trying to be smart. But he
wasn't going TO give in and show
that he was becoming Modified too
easily. He walked on silently.
"I-I-you mustn't take me too
seriously when I say things, Suwa-

little voice. II don't want TO give
you the impression that I'm a bad

like that. Butt want nice friends
and ! Ike good times like any girl
does"
That was more like it. Suwanee
found himself forgetting that she
had cut him deeply before. And the
idea began TO sink in that she was
actually ap0loglzing TO him and
eating out OF his hand. She must
IL him a htLle. Sweet thought!
Suddenly he felt quite the conquer
ing male. For here was the proud
little Elanda actually trotting along
beside him-trying to keep up with
his long strides and begging him
TO listen to her.
He looked down at her then gruff-
-.
You can't expect TO say things
like that and smooth them over IN
the next brAath. You evidently
were thinking those things or you
could not say them. What DO you
want a man TO 60 out and do? Drive
a truck?'
of course I don't, Suwanee. You
are a singer. too, aren't you? IL
you lust played the ukulele and did
Mt sing I would have had a right
to criticise you. But you have a
very lovely voice. Really I was sur
prlsed."
She looked at him and smiled and
he felt his heart warming. She was
a darling. But he answered her
quietly
Thanks Coming from you that
is f~lattering."

"Ah," he looked scornful, you dc

you? I suppose you don't dance be-

can't understand"

LOCATING THE PLANETS

What is the easiest way to locate

the fact that its radiation appears

Henry Ford is for the 18th amendment and the

reduction in freight rates now and forever. He in
