The door closed behind them.
Mrs. Sheldon lifted her eyes
from the printed words which
held no meaning for her. She
stared straight ahead. She
was seeing Elizabeth in the
golden gown, under the dark,
soft cloud of cloak. She was
thinking. Why should she have
all these things-youth and
beauty and the capacity for
happiness, when Lennox was
dead?
She laid the book aside and
went as she always did, to
Joyce'S room, to sit beside her
for a little while.

Joyce asked, dreamily.

Elizabeth put a bare arm
about her daughter. She thought
I love her-oh, love her.
This was Lennox'S child and

impulse to laugh, to weep, to
hold the child to her heart,
to call out to her, to plead =.

Cannot we break through this
barrier between us?
She rose, left the room.
On the way downstairs she
heard Van AlStyne's car drive
up. The door was open into
the small library, Louisa was
sitting there, in the big chair
with the attached reading
stand. Elizabeth went in, q

SHIFT IN SCHOOL
POPULATION

According to Robert L. Hay
cock, assistant superintendent of
schools, schools in southeast and
southwest Washington, which had
been losing enrolment in boom
years are now picking up as
families move there from higher
rent communities.
During the war and the pros
porous days following the war,
Mr.. Haycock pointed out, Sparsely
populated schools in the north
west section we're filled to
capacity as families moved from
downtown homes.
This filling up of schools
which formerly were losing
ground accounts for the fact, Mr..
Haycock said, that the large
increase in enrolment this year
has not overcrowded the schools.

The Mills Brothers. who appear
IN person at the Howard this

out the aid of any instrument
other than the guitar. Audiences
at the Howard will have the op-
portunity to see for themselves
the Mills Brothers initiate vari-
GUS instruments by using only
their lips and hands. Among the
instruments they so successfully
mimic are the tuba, saxaphone,
clarinet. trumpet, trombone, bas-
soon and oboe.
During the engagement the
atrical precedent will be estab-
