one term-it Is only a month now,
isn't it? And then well see whether
her strength can be built UP during
the summer.
And now for the good news.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carmichael have in
vited Grand and me to spend the
first week in July with them in
their beautiful new home at Sea-
side. They are going to have a
small house party-to celebrate
their wedding anniversary.
Mrs. Carmichael's charming
sister and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. Day-her name is Deborah
Deborah Day-isn't that utterly
quaint and delightful?-are also
to be their guests.
Our first thought was, as you
NAV know, that we couldn't leave
our little girls. We said as much,
and frankly. But Mr.. and Mrs.
Carmichael were so cnarmingly
insistent. They quite overpowered
our every objection.
"As they said, we see so very
little of you now, either Of you
since you both have your sweet
hearts"
~ECILY put a stop to that. "Of
~ course you must go. 1t will
be splendid for both Of you. Won't
it, Amp"
Ann agreed as Fundamentally as
a person whose mind is fully occu-
pied with two other subjects at the
same time could be expected to
agree.
Il fancy" Rosalie said, that our
Ann may be wondering how we are
to return such hospitality. Grand
and I considered that dear, you
may be sure.
1--WE discussed it, alone together,
after we left the Carmichaels. Grand
says that with his affairs as they
are at this time, he feels reasonably
certain-rather more than reason
ably certain-that within a year we
shall have a country home of our
own-or, at best, two years; those
places we are informed take rather
long in building-in which we can
return this hospitality and many
others.
1--WE plan to do as the Car
michaels are doing. We intend to
fill our home with our friends
throughout the season. And if you
darlings are married by that time,
as I hope you may be, it will be the
place where you and yours will
spend your vacationS-always.
Grand rather favorS the noun
tainS for a location. But we love
the sea. It will be a difficult de-
cision The mountains or the sea.
Though, as Grand says, both are
possible; a few months in the
mountains; a few months by the
sea.
1--WE need more vacationing. We
need more playtimes. All Of us.
And Grand and I hope and intend
to see that we have them; long,
lovely, happy playtimes together,
and soon now.
"You darlings will, of course,
marry. Grand was saying this
morning, in that connection, that
he hoped shortly. very shortly, to
be able ito help both of your sweet
hearts in a material way. :"
Ann was busy with her ironing.
Cecily was busy with her shelves.
RoSalie talked on for a while be-
fore she pulled herself out Of her
chair and went away, moving slowly
through her perfumed vicinity.

A hundred PAGES ahead, unaware of the dan

its way through the dense jungle. Had you
been watching from the trees you would have
seen that it walked erect upon two feet; you
would have admired its splendid muscular

first glance you would have believed the figure
to be mans. But WAS this thing a man?

Through the midnight jungle of an I'M

tawny lion moved silently. The great beast

In the case Of Edgar Ellis Davis. su-
perintendent of the famous Gettysburg
Pa. National Park, the War Depart
ment has found a way to circumvent the
drastic new economy act
Davis. major during the World War,
was 70 years old yesterday. Being q
civilian, and facing automatic retire
ment, his maximum retired pay would
have been $1,000 a year. Several days
ago, the War Department issued orders
appointing him a warrant officer IN the
Regular Army, effective July Is, and
simultaneously issued another order re-
firing him on July 81, with the rank Of
major and the pay of a retired warrant
officer. This was done under an act ap-
proved May Z last. A a consequence,
Warrant Officer Davis, when he retires,
will receive 81 Cos per year. His salary
as superintendent has been $3,700.
During the war, Davis, then clerk
in the Office of the Quartermaster gen.
eral of the Army, was appointed major
in the Quartermaster Corps and served
overseas. He was connected for time
with the graves registration service and
was discharged by that commission in
1919. In 1921 he re-entered the civilian
service and in 1927 was appointed su-
perintendent at Gettysburg.
Under recent act, warrant officers
are retired with the rank they held
during their emergency war service
Mai Davis also holds the rank Of COL
onel in the Auxiliary Reserves Of the
Army His home Is at Gettysburg
where he will continue to live after his
retirement. He is native of Villisca,
Iowa.

TELEPHONE RATE
HEARING RESUMED
Company Denies Move to En-
force Five-Day Week
Is Contemplated.

The public hearing on reduction of
WaShington'S telephone rates being held
before the Public Utilities Commission
went through a listless two-hour ses-
sion today hearing cross-eXamination
Of Thomas r. Tate, the commissions
valuation engineer. by T. B. Mile
counsel for the Chesapeake g. Potomac
Telephone Co.
Mr. Miles questions were directed
toward spreading on the record the
fact that the cost indices used by the
commission on central ofiC. equipment
were lower than those supplied by the
telephone company. Tate's 1882 fig
ures assumed the same prices on CEN
tral Office equipment as in 1890 in spite
of the fact that prices paid for this
equipment by the telephone company
to the Western Electric Co. increased
in 1881 and again in 1882.
AT the start of the hearing Tate
introduced a substitute figure for the
present reproduction value Of the ccm-
pany less depreciation Of s22,955,825
instead of the figure of 22,926.474 in
troduced on Tuesday. The difference
was ascribed to a mathematical error
in computing the first figures.
The commission decided to wait un-
til evidence was completed before rul-
ing on motions of the company to
strike out all evidence and exhibits
having to do with valuation and de-
probation. Should the commission rule
favorably on these motions the effect
would be to nullify all Of the proceed
ings so far.
