VALENTINE"
By HAZEL LIVINGSTON
CHAPTER 38

CHAPTER 38
Mile was gone. Gone to
New York and Europe. Because
Mr.. Harris wanted to attend an
auction of somebody's collection
Of paintings.
Only her gifts were left, her
gifts of dresses and perfumes
and lingerie and a diamond
bracelet.
The spell that she had cast
over the apartment in the brick
house, over Val herself, and her
life with Joe, was gone.
The light had gone out, and
Val didn't know how to make
it come back. Now she saw
the shabbiness, the makeshiftS,
the dullneSs. And Joe wasn't
shining lover. He was just
a nice husband who never said
mean things when the potatoes
were scorched. and only frowned
his little troubled frown when
Walls reckless investments in
out of season fruits, hot-house
flowers and novels ran the
charge accounts beyond the
budget.
Elwyn had arrived, bag and
baggage, and she didn't like
him a bit better than she had
when he was 7, and used to
bully poor little George and
Ruthie whenever Joe was out
of sight.
VexatiOns Grow
Mrs. Peacock had taken him
in and was perfectly happy
fussing over him, calling him
her boy. For a little while Val
felt a positive dislike for her.
Anyone who could like that
ElWyn!
Elwyn was quick to see how
Val felt and made it up by con-
tradicting everything she said,
and praising everything and
everybody, so that it made her
out a worse sport than ever.
"ElWyn likes the climate"
Merritt Claus told her unctu-
ously, when she declined to go
walking with his wife because
the wind made her head ache.
'Elwyn says the damp cold
you have on the coast is much
more penetrating than ours.
Mustn't be stubborn little
girl! Now this is your home,
and we're all your friends who
want to love our good Joe's lit
tie wife"
"Ou Val wouldn't mind the
cold if she would dress for it
sensibly," Sally Claus said in
The Washington times., 1932-10-05

and all those new clothes hang
ing in the closet. Never has
she had so many pretty things.
The aforesaid joint bank ac-
count, too, which the young
husband, in the first flush of
devotion, insists upon-all these
things seem like wealth "be-
yond the dreams of avarice," or
of an American, as the new YER
sion is.
Don't blame the girl. If she
does foolish things with money,
it's not her fault. Having money
real greenbacks-in her purse
for the first time, has gone to
her head. The charge account
that fatal putting off till to-
morrow what you should do to-
day-opens up visions of wealth
beside which the treasures of
Ormuz and Ind grow pale.
Not Girls Fault
The young husband is apt to
wake up out of his romantic
dream to find his nose glued
to the grindstone for life. But
don't blame the bride.
In the John D. Rockefeller,
jr., family-the richest family
in the world, perhaps-the chill
dren were given very small al
loWances, which had to be ac-
counted for, as follows: One
third saved, one-third to be
given away. and one-third spent
as inclination prompted.

To my humble way of think
ing. every girl should take job
when she leaves school or col
lege. In no other way can she
learn the real value of a dollar.
But if her parents are so rich,
so impractical, and cling so
closely to Victorian standards
as to forbid a job, then the girl
should be put on a regular al
lowance and made to keep a
cash account.
Joint Bank Account
In numberless families of
middle class incomes in these
United States, daughters are
never given any money of their
own. They have to wheedle
mamma and papa, or go with
out. Such sums as a hundred
or a hundred and fifty dollars a
month - which may represent
the young husbands entire sal
ary-seem to the brides mex
haustible. In the first flush of
q joint bank account, brides buy
all sorts of useless things which
they would never dream of buy
ing if they had gained before
marriage any idea of the pur-
chasing power of a dollar.
Clothes we're provided by
parents as long as the girl re-
mained single, and as a bride
she has started off with a gen.
erouS trousSeau. No wonder
she gets an exaggerated idea of
the wealth of her little world!
There's the generous supply of
presents that makes the little
flat or bungalow so attractive,

2 made an opening bid of
1-Spade. A bid 3-Clubs, to oblige
his partner to respond. Had Y
passed, the story would be diff
ferent, but that players hand
dazzled Y. He had visions of
an enormous penalty. Why he
did not have visions of game
and rubber, with possible slam
prospects, is hard to say. In
any event, in place of jumping
his partners bid to 3-SpadeS or
3-No TrumpS, Y doubled the
3-Clubs. w were vulnerable.
ABB were not vulnerable. z
would have shown his hearts,
had Y done anything except
double. There was a chance for
a small slam at spades. Believ-
ing it safer to pass than to con-
tinue his bidding, z allowed the
double to stand.
Y led his Q of spades, winning
the first trick. A ruffed the
second spade led. The declarer
led low diamond. Y won the
trick, and led his @ of hearts.
Dummy played low. 2 sig
nailed to come-on by putting
up the 10. The declarer ruffed
the second lead of hearts.
The declarer led the ace of
diamonds. The Q fell at his
left, marking Y with the K, or
else void of further diamonds.
If the latter surmiSe we're true,
the contract must be defeated
in case all three missing trumps
lay in AS hand. The declarer
led his six of diamonds. To AS
great relief Y played the K.
Dummy ruffed the trick. A
trump was led from dummy. B
showed out of clubs.
Puts Up Ace
The declarer put up his Ace,
then led back his @, and Y
won the trick. The declarer
was obliged to trump a spade.
Then he picked up US last
trump, by leading his j of
clubs. A spread his hand
claiming the balance of the
tricks, as he held only the good
10 of clubs and the good 10 of
diamonds.
w had won only four
tricks: one spade trick; one
heart trick; one diamond trick;
one trump trick. The fact that
the contract was doubled gave
ABB their first game; they also
held one hundred honors in
clubs.
If Y had supported spades,
as he should have done, in
stead of yielding a game to
their opponents, ABB could
safely have bid up to five-odd.
Then if A wished to overcall
with Six Clubs, w would either
have doubled for a substantial
penalty, or if luck had been
strongly with them they even
might have bid and made a
small slam, but only Super-play
by A could have defeated that
bid.
w won the rubber on the
next game, but in the mean
while that double had reduced
profits by the following amount:
100 points for points below the
line for ABB; so points for full
fillment of a doubled contract;
100 points for honors; 200
points off the bonus for win
ming the rubber in three games,
instead of two games; total
loss to w 470 points.

CT thought and honest action, yet we dismissed the thought with the snap of a finger and went right along with our own selfish pursuit of the dollar. We didn't have time to vote intelli gently.
 Now we are reaping the re- wards. Of course the house we built leaks and cracks and threat ems to collapse. But we can't blame it on the other fellow. We built it ourselves.
 Let us profit by our lesson and build the next house as it should be. Our democratic government isn't at fault. The fault lies with We voters who built it. We have been cheating ourselves.-Bates- vile (Ark.) Guide.

TRADER HORN"

At last Trader Horn" This picture made in Africa last yea. starring Edwina Booth if from the book of the same name and which is the experiences Of Trader Horn himself. The pie ture is said to depict wild African scenery and animals, perhaps better than any other picture shown on the screen. Thrills from start to finish, and heart tlrobs.
 Edwina Booth, an actress nev- er heard of before was chosen tc carry the lead in this big produc tion and she did-cOntracte;1 levers, broke down and the pic ture was delayed until she was able to carry on to the end. She returned to the United States but not to return to pictures Africa and the strenuous work il, the heat, the strain of the work broke her health.
 The picture has attracted
 much press notice and has been
 given a high rating by the critics 1 so that the movie fans of Peters burg will not be going amiss in
 following it up.

BREEDING COMMUNISM Plain Talk Magazine

There is being waged today a war far more subtle, far more dangerous, and far more vicious than any that was ever fought by the armies of the world, Olie that has the potentialities of destroying the benefits of civili- |zation, or depriving us of the liberties we have come to love, and of subjecting society to an autocracy, the horror of which lis so great that we would have to look back to the despotism of Asiatic princes to find it's equal
 It is a struggle Between con- |centrated wealth on the one hand, and communism on the other, and the victims of that struggle are principally the rank and file of citizens who consti- ute the great masses. Organized wealth is necessary to progress. but it is impossible to sanction and difficult to tolerate the at-
 titude of the majority of those who control wealth toward the rest of society when, snug in their power, they refuse to mo- tice, to recognize or to help de- feat the ever increasing efforts of these social scavengers known variously as communists, reds or what-have-you.
 Depression, want and despair }are conducive of conditions which result in just the state of society the communist leaders desire for the further progress Of world revolution and as one
 great step in that direction they are today making a drive for the recognition of Soviet Russia. If toe wealth and industrial interests of this country refuse
 to regard the handwriting on

 is danger and very serious dan

Cheating Ourselves

The story is told of a dis honest worker. He and his fami- fly were roofless, Whereupon a certain good Samaritan decided to surprise this poor man with 8 comfortable home. So, without telling his purpose, ne hired the builder at a fair wage to build 8 house on sunny hill, and then went on business to a far-away country. The builder was left at work with no watchman but his own honor. "Ha," said he in his heart. T can skimp the material and scamp the work" So he went on spinning out the time, putting in poor service, poor nails, poor timbers.
 When the good Samaritan re- turned, the builder said: That's a fine house I built on the hill," Good" was the reply. ''Go move your folks into it at once for the house is yours. Here is the deed, The builder was thunderstruck. He realized that, instead of cheating his friend, he had been industrially cheating himself when he did not know it was his own house he was building.
 That illustration reminds US wildly of the predictment our voters and taxpayers find them selves in today. They suffer un- der burden that has become almost unbearable. They vail loud and long about the burdens of taxation, wasteful and foolish governmental expenditure, graft and cheap politics. But are they not criticizing the house they built themselves.
 Back a short time ago when most of us had more money than Ibrains and when we were drunk on the power of the almighty dollar, we openly voted for and supported candidates of spend , thrift character, knowing when We did so that we were slipping in shoddy materials" in the gov ernmental structure we were building.

quite futile, because in t h Q
 meantime means of con1munica
 ton and dissemination of econ
 cmic and socialistic information
 have been highly developed. The
 government must deal with an enlightened nliddle-claSs which has the opportunity and the de- 'sjre to know; and they know, to- Gay, that it is, after all, their |r1oney which largely comprises |the deposits of the banks, and which in turn is loaned to the big enterprises.
 It is practically impossible in these days for an individual to |get the slightest consideration from a bank if a loan is needed: but on the other hand, that same individual is repeatedly urged and propagandized to de- posit his money with the bank. How then does he feel when his little savings are lost or his property has been foreclosed be- cause the bank will not extend him the necessary assistance.
 And, so the vicious circle goes on, incre easing concentrated wealth, decreasing the holdings of the laboring man and tending always through economic dis tress to create unrest, and thus destroy the institutions of gov- ernment.
