 "What a wonderful old house this is!' Anne said. And your furnt. ture's beautiful"
 "Do you like 1t? The house is ages old. Jim's grandfather built it. This room was part of the origi- nal farm house and that's the same fireplace. If you like the house wait until you see my garden" Phil Trowbridge entered the room then and Anne turned so that she did not see how Gypsy flushed as she said the words 'my garden" It would be just as we'll to tell Phil and Anne at once that the marriage had been a failure. Bet ter than to try to keep up false pre- lenses.
 "Jim's coming right out" Phil announced cheerily. Say, Gypsy, certainly do like this place! This is real home. Mind if I look around ?"
 "Of course not. That's the library across the hall Jim has his desk there and keeps all sorts of old things around. There are some books that belonged to his grand father and some old pictures Anne talked about the week they hahd spent at'a fashionable resort She mentioned names of other guests that to Gypsy meant noth- ing but she knew they must have social prominence or Anna would not have been interested.

 Thanks. I'm really Tagged te death. Honest, Gypsy, you haven'i minded being buried in a little town like, this. have you?" No, she hadn't minded it.

 Jim did insist when he arrived l15 minutes later. He wrung Phirs hand and greeted Anne eagerly. He assured them they could not think of starting on until the next day,
 "Why not stay over Sunday?" he asked. Little touch of this rura life would be good for you. Show you how much you're missing 1T New York"
 They could not stop over tho week end, Trowbridge told him, but if there was room for them and Il would not be an inconvenience they would be glad to spend the nigh and drive on next day.

But the voices that had come from over the top of the partition which separated Sue and Sarah's table from that of Barbara and Joan weren't done.
 "Ted realizes it .and 1t arinoys him." Joan said very slowly.
 Sue could tell by the very serious ness of the tone that Joan didn't know that she had an audience. She didn't understand why Barbara was staging this scene. Barbara, not Joan, was trying to make Sarah unhappy. And because Joan was not guilty 1t made it harded to fight her.
 "Pll go to the movie,' Sarah ans- wered after that. And as for the conversation that's going around. :. that ended long ago. It's not true"
 And 50, while the trial rested, waiting for Sybil to grow stronger, and Sue and Jack relaxed and were happy again, and Harry and Cor rinne tried to make up for the dis enchantment of the last few weeks, Sarah played around with Phil Ban- ming.

If she kept hers polished brightly the others needn't know how many thin places there were in it.

 She wondered, then, sitting in the purple-mauve of the spring twi- light, in front of her dressing table with her dark eyes strangely serious if there was such a thing in the world as love.

This was free from fur trim ming, but had scarf collar that could be manipulated in many ways: Then came a more dressy coat of chonga-that popular weave in wool.

Nancy knew that she would not be as energetic this summer as she had been in the past year, but she knew also. that she was not going to sit at home and become trump in her mind, nor in her clothes. There were plenty of activities and social affairs that she could enjoy. So on bright, sunny morning she went to the clothes closet and looked over her dresses. Some were in style, some were in good enough condition to need nothing but cleaning. A few would have to be given away. Her greatest need seemed to be coats, rather than dresses. Accord ingly she planned to go shopping bright and early the next day. She went to the coat department and looked at an array something like this:

and then drive it back to Chapel

out-Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell,
Bobby and Teddy, the student,
and the baggage.
They arrived in New York,
but there a hitch occurred. The
student declared that he would
not dare to start on the return
trip with the car; he was afraid
he would never reach Chapel
Hill with it.

So they set westward out on

When the first mile had been

ELKS PROVIDE

Thanksgiving day was made
happy for more than 800 men,
women and children residing in Ell
Centro and vicinity when FL Centre
lodge. No. 1925, B.P.O. Elks, Thurs
day morning distributed many
boxes of food. A recent survey here
disclosed many families in actual
need as the result Of unemploy-
ment and the trustees and officers
of the Elks lodge decided TO do what
was possible to relieve the situation.
A list of families urgently requiring
food was furnished the lodge by To-
cal charitable organizations and 1t
is believed that all persons in this
community known to be in dire
need were cared for.
A total Of 211 boxes Of food were
cilled through the efforts of MEM
bers of the lodge, many of whom
worked all day Wednesday. Early
Thursday morning the distribution
of the boxes at the lodge rooms be-
gan. Tickets had been presented in
advance to members Of the fami-
lies whose names had heen aScer-
tanned. Within an hour after the
first ticket was brought in. only a
few of the boxes remained, and
these were all delivered before
noon. transportation was furnished
in most cases for the boxes OF cat
ables. All nationalities were rep
resented among those provided with
food. In many cases the heads OF
the families had not been employed
in weeks. Boxes were furnished IL
several instances to mothers who
are supporting several young chill
dren by occasional laundry work
Residents of FL Centro, Holtville

SHERIFF WILL
SEE GOVERNOR
ON ROAD CAMPS

Sixty five per cent OF the unem-
ployed transients entering Calitor-
MIA come through Yuma.
This will be Sheriff George L..
Campbell's statement early next
week when he interviews Governor
James Rolph, Jr., on the proposed
road camp system for the unem-
ployed, to be put into effect by the
state.
Sheriff Campbell, with his SONS,
Don and Lawrence, left yesterday
afternoon with J. G.. Ayala, SEN
fenced to from one to three years
in San Quentin penitentiary for
driving while drunk, and with
Woodrow Welch, a minor sentenced
to the Preston School of Industry
at lone for issuing bad checks.
The sheriff will stop off on the
way to the penitentiary for a con-
ference with the governor, attempt
ing to find out how the proposeC
road camps will be financed.
Should the various counties be
asked to finance the road camps
within their borders, Sheriff Camp
bell said yesterday it will place an
unfair burden on this county, since
such a large percentage of transi-
entS come through here.
The reason Campbell is interest
ed in this phase of relief work is
that money to support the camps,
to a great extent, would be takeC
from his budget.
On the other hand, the sheriff
said, should the state meet eXpens-
es of the road camps, he can thinl,
of no better relief measure at thi )
time.
