I've just been off on a horribly

Going back TO school was more Of
an ordeal than she had anticipated.

her pencils. AS If she'd just had a
terrible illness, or lost her mind or
something. They must have done
an awful lot of talking about her
while she was out to make them so
anxious to make up for 1t.
There were no plays or teams or
committees, now, to round out her
days. Her place In the fabric of
the school had closed up behind her
when she left and there wasn't time
to get it back. She didn't feel like
fooling around with the old gang
any more. A lot of their talk went
over her head and some of it, she
almost suspected, behind her back.
Anyhow, they had whole new set
of standing jokes which she wasn't
going to ask to have explained. She
was on perfectly friendly terms
with them all, of course, but it was
with disheartening difference.
She had endless imaginary con-
versations with Rsger about it, on
her walks to and from school and

They'd come to take her to the

really did have a headache, though.

she didn't believe she'd better. She
was afraid she'd spoil the fun.
Only Carolyn and Arthur Birdsall

were summoned to add their per-

up especially for Edith.

1t was really a very good evening
for a beach party-freezing cold by
the lake, especially after the sun
went down. They had to tear
around to keep warm. They ran
races in the sand; tripped each 9TH

tumbling stunts-cartwheels and
things-and his sister told him
Edith could turn them better than
that.

They sang songs afterward,
around the fire-close harmony,

to pack as tight together as they
could in order not to freeze.

It u indeed hair-splitting job
when Uncle Sam sets out to raise an
additional $4,000, 900 by means of a
10 per cent tax on furs.
The experts who made the new tax
law, designed to balance the budget
have figured this out in great detail.
OF course, furs-as such-are taxed
at 10 per cent, but what about fur

the fur used therein represents only
a portion of the total manufacturer S

All, says Uncle Sam:

any other single component material,
