KITTY FREW 8
by JANE ABBOTT

chilled dusk, Kitty felt little cheered by Josie's advances. Un- til today the girls in the depart ment store had left her alone. Her own fault, of course-she'd wanted to be friendly, but in her awkwardness she'd fell shy, and probably they'd taken that for standoffishness.
 Josie was a leading spirit in the underwear department. She was good-natured, sympathetic. and ready with joke, mirnick- ed her customers when they had departed, bantered with the floor men. Every morning she regaled her associates with her experienc- es of the evening before Dates and boy friends made the sub- stance of her easy chatter. She was alert in her work, approach ing shoppers with an attentive ness that held them and more often than not sold something to them This and the fact that she had been at Stratton,s for four years, beginning at the bundle desk, gave her an unofficial sen- iorlty over the others Kitty had recognized that seniority.
 Thinking of Josie, she walked, swiftly, liking the touch of the cool air against her tired face. Like Josie and the hundreds of others who had left Stratton's before her, she felt a sense of Ightness with the day behind her. At this hour even the pain in her heart hfted little.
 Most of all sine walked swiftly because she wals going back to Ketchurn Street and Ketchum Street meant to Dorcas' room with its larnplight and fits fire-Dorcas herself.
 It had been ishree weeks since that night David had taken her to Dorcas, infinitely longer when she measured it in heartaclle. Gar had not tried to find her. He must know where she was-Pound knew and must have told him.
 DorcaS had taken, her ito Strat- tons. Dorcas knew the head of the personnel there. The wages Strat- tons paid her gave her a meager independence. She was Living in a small room on the same floor as Dorcas' apartment.
 Kitty knew now that Dorcas owned the old house on Ketchum Street. She knew that Mrs. Gentle to whom she paid her weeks rent only acted as Dorcas' agent. David had told her about Mrs. Gentle. One day Dorcas had found her, destitute, evicted with her two children from a basement apartment in the block and had taken her in. She can get on if someone just gives her a hand David had quoted Dorcas as saying. And Mrs. Gentle, install- ed in the big kitchen of the old house, sleeping in what once had been the dining room, had gotten on, just as Emil Schelling was getting on, Kitty herself
 Kitty had met others in Dorcas' apartment, to whom she knew Dorcas had given a hand. Young Mark Quinn who worked in a garage and went to art classes at night, Leah Moore, a lawyer, thirty, cynical, brilliant of intellect, de- crying sentiment, sneering at any ideals and yet somehow soften ing in humanness after an evening around Dorcas' friends; Max Adler a sensitive-faced, dark -browed Jew, shouting communism yet arrogant himself. He was a violinist. It was

1 Dorcas who had secured for him place in the Palace Theatre orchestra. Perhaps Dorcas had helped them all, in one way or another, to regain their self respect. In the ups and downs of everything each of them was doing, Dorcas showed a deep interest. But she would not tolerate whining, "Oh, stand upl" she'd cry irnpatiently at such times.
 Kitty had heard her berate David You haven't done a bit of work today. I can tell by the hang of your head Are you going to be content all your life with a calumn of drioble for the Times? We'll, if you are, go on home" And David had gone, his face angry, slamming the door behind him.
 Kitty had come to know, with some excitement, that Dayid's work was the writing of a novel. But neither he nor Dorcas talked about lit except, now and then, to ex- change some pertinent commen brief answer, or often, on Dorcas' concerning it, or question and a part, a sharp rebuke Ut seemed to be something between the two of
 them and Kitty sensed that Dorcas cared a great deal about 1t; she'd seen the look in her eyes when David went out, slanming the door behind him, a sorry, tender look.
 kitty, even in her most intimate moments with Dorcas never touched on her own Encouragement. She could tell David how frigntfully tired she get. And with David she could talk of Gar. David hadn't said anything about self-respect. Davidis sympathy was different from Dorcas'.
 Four blocks from Stratton's was the Times building. AS Kitty reached it David stepped from the wide entrance way and joined her, just as he met her nearly every evening, making the encounter seem to happen without any planning. And always, on the instant of sec ing him, tall and lanky, a little shabby, his. hat pulled down over his eyes, Kitty felt little rush of gladneSs.
 Well, how did it go today?"
 "Oh, better" Her eyes chung to David's face. She slipped her hand through his arm.
 David. did you see him today? Hear anything?

Brown, red and blonde hair form an effective contrast in the hirsute adornments of "3 Girls Lost the Fox romance showing at the Coii- scum theatre for the last times tonight, with Loretta Young, Joyce Compton and Joan Marsh, as the ititle-role trio.
 Miss Young is the brown-haired leading lady of the offering, with Miss Compton's flaming locks and Miss Marsh's ash blonde wave lend- ing distinction to their parts.

JOE DEXTER FRETS FOR OPEN SPACES
 OF ALASKAN HOME.
Seattle Times, May 14)


 After testing the sweets of civil ization in a months visit, his first trip outside" in thirty-six years, Joe Dexter is rushing back to Al aska, his lonely trading post at Golovin, his native wife and fam fly, and the rigors of the North land
 Dexter is in Seattle after return ng from the East where he visited relatives. And he can hardly wait for steamer day to start his voyage north.
 Modern Business Man
 But if you're picturing him as the traditional "sourdough' of fic- tion, you'll be agreeably surprised to see him as a small, clean-shaven businessman type, in well-cut gray suit, English oxfords and wrist watch. And he uses an airplane for his Golovin- Nome business trips.
 The only touch of the Northland is nugget pin in his cravat.
 Dexter has decided views on the educational problem of the natives.
 What the natives need" he as- serts, "are more hospitals and less schools. More practical training and less impractical training.
 When they arc graduated, the boys know how to run lathe, but what they need to know is how to build kyak to earn their livings and to travel. The girls can take dictation in shorthand, but that sort of training doesn't help them when they get out of school, go home and need a new parka or a pair of mukluks. What do they do? Well, they send to mail order house in the States for their cloth ing.
 Alaska needs development but when Senator Peanuts or Congress man Walnuts come north, all they see is Southeast Alaska-which has the best of everything, while farther north the Indian is threat ened with extinction unless the Government can provide less book learning and more medical atten- tion"

BEAUTIFUL FUNERAL SERVICE HELD SUNDAY
 FOR MRs. SULLIVAN

Deep sympathy and bangs of sor row were manifest by each of the many local residents attending the funeral service Sunday for Mrs. R. D. Sullivan, dearly beloved wife, mother and gracious friend, whose sudden passing last week is deeply mourned.
 A great profusion of lovely flow CTS surrounded the beautiful casket in which lay peacefully-eternally silent-all that remained of what was, a few short days ago, happy and tender mother.
 Through Rev. E. E. Reisner, the eyes of the assemblage were closed to the things of the earth, and op- ened to the glories of heaven; the reward which the departed has won.
 The solemn harmony of three voices, that of Miss Edith Neece, A. R. Roberts and P. c. McMullen, accompanied by Miss Edith Kaem- mer at the piano, was rendered impressively with deep feeling.
 Pallbearers were w. R. She'll horn, E. L. Sweek, L. Hopkins, G. Manthey, E. Swetmann and T. Neville.
 Following the bereaved family from the Community Church to the Seward cemetery, autos filled with mourners joined the cortege.
 There, with Nature on the verge of exquisite springtime hymns, in a valley beneath cathedral-like mountain peaks, last rites were held and the departed laid to final rest.

FLOOD DANGER FROM RAINS IN NORTHWEST
 REPORTED SUbs|D|NC

PORTLAND, Ore, March 21, - Considerable relief was experienced here over the weekend as a ceS- sation of tn steady rainfall Satur- day began to remove danger or floods throughout this state and Washington, Idaho and Montana.
 A number of lives are known to have been lost due to high waters and one lad was drowned in Port land when he fell into a swollen river. His body was carried eleven blocks before it could be recov- cred.
 In Montana, an engine of pas senger train plunged off the end of a washed out bridge and the fireman and engineer were both killed. None of the passengers on this train were injured.
 Although cessation of rainfall re- lieved the situation the melting snows still cause rivers to stray from river banks and threatens lives and property in many sections throughout the northwest states.
