"Oh, don't blame Joe. He's

I could compete with her my

"T could" Julia Macfarlane
said flatly.
There was no doubt about it.
She could. But whetehr she
could manage Walls problem
was something else again.
Her first idea. to send Val
back to Santa Barbara until
the excitement blew over, had
certainly been a failure. Un.
daunted by Miles plea for
postponement of the visit, she
had written again, insisting
that the need was NOW.

1T is," Val said seriously.
And she felt so sorry for poor
Aunt Julia, who had never
been in love. that her soft eyes
filled with tears and she went
to the back door to call the cat,
to hide them.
Everything made her want to
cry, she was so happy.
Mrs. Carey but that
wouldn't worry her, she wouldn't
let it. Mrs. Carey had insisted
that she come to the wedding.
There won't be any we'd
ding" Joe had said.
But there will be witnesses.
That's the law. And if you
won't have your own mother,
instead of a stranger"
Joe had tried to talk her out
of it, but it wasn't any use. So
he had explained how it was.
II thought we might concede
that point, Val? If you're
willing?"
Then I'll have Aunt Julia
that's only fair!" she said
stoutly.
But she hadn't told Aunt
Julia yet. She was too much
up in the clouds. Shed tell
her later.

She thought of telling Val,
That mother of yours is up
to her old tricks. It's a good
thing you've got me to count
on. You certainly can't count
on her"
But that was rather harsh.
She decided to say nothing.
Late Sunday afternoon Joe
called for Valentine. They
went off together, and were
late coming home.
Marriage Planned
Aunt Julia got undressed,
and sat propped up against
her pillows in bed, her old
eiderdown cape wrapped around
her shoulders. to read and wait
for Walls return.
She listened, straining her
ears to hear what they we're
saying wher Val and Joe stood
on the front porch, talking.
They must have been there for
half an hour, but she couldn't
hear word they said.
Val came in at last, her eyes
starry, her voice a little Shaky:
We're going to get the
license tomorrow. I'm going
back to Minnesota with him
Friday. Aunt Julia, don't look
at me so! Aren't you happy
for me?"
Aunt Julia had breakfast
ready at 8 o'clock as usual.

The work of the Kent County Re-
lief Committee is just about COM
pleted and they have submitted
report to Governor C. D. Buck. Gov
ernor Buck appointed the relief
committee for Kent county last No
vember' and during this time they
have received and disbursed over
$4,000. It is interesting to note that
those who contributed to the fund
received one hundred cents on the
dollar. The committee in every case
when out on investigations or other
missions always paid their own eX-
penses. The committee also be-
lieves that just about one-third of
the help given was due to unem-
ployment and the. .so-called "depres-
sion," they discovered in their in
vestigations that many people ask
ing aid through the committee were
ready to accept charity without la
bor In many cases the committee
expected to get some labor return
for the money spent. Unsightly
places in many communities have
been cleaned up by labor paid from
the relief fund The situation must
be met in a firm way or the condi-
tion will become much worse. The
committee strongly advises giving
some kind of employment whenever
possible instead of charity. During
the period the. committee was func-
tioning they received and distribut-
ed State and county funds of $5,100 |
