How a Modem Girl Broke

stated briefly, "YeS. He called
here last evening?"
For courtesy's sake, the inter
rogation point was indicated in
her tone. Elizabeth, glancing
over a letter from Fanny, felt
the heart stir in her breast, not
lightly, as it fluttered new
feldged wings of fear. but
heavily, as if it vibrated to the
tramp of inexorably marching
feet.
Joyce nodded. She was won
dering. How did she know?
Then, as the butler passed be-
tween sideboard and table she
was answered. She had for
gotten, for the moment, her
grandmother's fixed routine
when she re-entered. the house
after an absence, no matter how
short-a routine expressed in
the formula, HAS anyone
called?"
"Well-brought-up young wom-
en- of my day were not accuS-
toned to receive men in the
absence of their parents or
guardians, Louisa said evenly.
Joyce had a sudden. wholly
unfamiliar desire to scream, to
send the Royal Doulton cup at
her elbow Gathering to the floor.
This level announcement from,
she thought, ridiculously, the
tomb itself, oscillated her nerves,
set her choking with an invisi-
BILE dust.
Her mother interposed hastily,
glancing at the girls face and
away again.
Quite a Change
Things are different now,
Cousin Louisa"
Louisa looked at her a mo-
ment. She twitched her
straight mouth into a smile,
vinegared with malice.
II am aware of that, unfor-
tunately."
Elizabeth shrank back, into
her Intellectual self. Joyce, her
own irritation forgotten, looked
from one woman to the other.
She had, as she so often had
now, the sense of an uninter-
mittent warfare. She expert
enced, also, a sense of graft

at championship. It had been
futile. and frightened, but un-
mistakable. Joyce pondered
that on numberless occasions
before this her mother had
thrust herself between her and
Louisa, a feeble, anxious buffer.
Mrs. Sheldon sat waiting. She
had turned her eyes toward
Joyce, folded her hands in her
lap.
Basil is an old friend" be-
gan Joyce defensively. HE came
here almost directly from the
docks, he could not telephone
beforehand"

Mrs. Sheldon in her platform
manner, sis apparntly unaware
Of the most common usages of
courtesy" She halted a mo-
ment, then announced, abruptly,
After prayers, Joyce, I would
like to see you in my room for
moment"
She bowed her gray head and
uttered the benediction which
ended the meal. Then she rose
and struck the old-fashioned
gong by the pantry door, with

A Return
Once again I long to go
Up that gentle hill,
On into the little wood
Green as jade, and still
AS my grandmother's white
house
With its Sabbath rush;
Past the clustered violetS,
Past the laurel bush.
Would it greet me as of old
With its spell of peace?
Would my worries slip away
And my dark fears cease?
Would the world again display
The face of bright morning
wear?
Would I find my brave, young
self
Who once wandered there?

Then he came home.

Ihen ne came home.
He went to Washington
Square the night he landed. He
had sent no word beyond a wire
less from the boat. BY merest
chance Mrs. Sheldon and Eliza
beth were out and Joyce was
not. So he found her alone in
the house for the first time.
He said nothing when the
door had closed behind the SER
want who had announced him.
He simply walked toward her
and took her in his arms and
kissed her deeply, thirstily.
There was a scent of the sea
about him, the sea over which
he had sailed to her, a beat and
surge and undertow, an advance,
as Of great waves, a sweep as
OF unobstructed winds.

Can You think of better?"
"No."
She was silent then. He
asked, more urgently, "When?"
Very Much Perturbed
"Oh, I don't know, Basil. I
hadn't thought of it somehow"
He was astonished, he was
hurt, he was angry. Yet he
hadn't thought of it himself
until recently.
But you must have known!"
Perhaps"
'Then you will?"
II suppose so," she conceded
finally, "but not right away. I
want to finish out my term.
Oh, don't let's tell people yet

''I'm not!"

She looked at him. She was
flushed, thoughtful.

"Oh, hush" she implored in

But when, an hour later, he
had left her and she had gone
to her room, she sat down be-

G.N.SO.-Nearly Is of Indiana's
30 votes will be delivered to the
presidential candidacy of Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, according
to delegates here for the Demo
cratic state convention today and
tomorrow.
However, the party leaders are
making a determined effort to
send an uninstructed delegation
to the nationa. convention at
Chicago next week. The national
spotlight was on Indiana because
she is the last State to elect
her delegates to the national
gathering.
The remaining five votes proba'
bly, will be split among Alfred E.
Smith, Gov. Albert C. Ritchie,
and others.
Indications were that the
Hoosier convention would adopt
the resolution favoring the repeal
of both the Eighteenth Amend
ment and the State bone dry law.
There was close race between
Walter Myer, speaker of the
house of representatives, and
Frederick Van NuyS, former Fed
eral district attorney, for the
nomination for United States Sen
ator. Bernard Shively, OF Mar

SHOUSE CENTER
Of AWKWARD
RUMPUS
Ready for Floor Battle for
Permanent Craftsmanship as
/ Farley BoomS Walsh
By GEORGE R. HOLMES


CHICAGO. June 90 I.NS.)
The unterrified Democracy,
split into a dozen warning
camps, opened a twoweeks'
engagement in Chicago today
on the national political stage.
1t will eliminate next week
in the nomination of candi-
date to oppose President
Hoover on a platform that by
common agreement will be a
good deal wetter than the one
adopted here last week by the
Republicans.
Aside from this, there is very
little agreement among the Demo
Gratis.
Who the candidate is to be,
and whether he can be noml-
mated without another Madison
Square Garden endurance con-
test, remain to be determined.
81 States Claimed.
In the headquarters of Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, opened to-
day by James A. Farley, there
was a map to which the atten-
ton of all visitors was directed.
It showed 80 State delegations
pledged to Roosevelt, comprising
some 566 delegates, with 95
others claimed as Favorable"
None of the other dozen can
didates had any such maps in
the headquarters that bloomed IN
all the hotels. The affable man
ayers of the other candidates.
merely assured inquirers that
many things can-and usually do
-happ0n in a Democratic Ma
tional Convention. and that it is
yet far too early to concede the
nomination to any one.
Smith, Prima Donna
Governor Roosevelt unquestion-
ably is the advertised star of
this Democratic show.
But the real prina donna is
one who admittedly has small
chance for the nomination, yet
may have it in his power to
make or break any candidate
Alfred Emmanuel Smith.
Smith will reach Chicago
Wednesday. prepared to make
the fight OF his colorful life. He
is going to be against Roosevelt.
and he is going to insist that the
platform here adopted vindicate
the things for which he stood in
1928.
While on the surface it looks
like Roosevelt, the fighting Dem
ocrats have a penchant for knock
ing down favorites in national
conventions, and history may re-
peat itself in this one.
Awkward Row Started
The Roosevelt people have
maneuvered themselves into an
awkward row at the outset. They
agreed several months ago upon
a convention setup which en-
bodied the selection of Senator A.
w. Barkley of Kentucky as tenn
porary chairman and Jouett
Shouse, chairman of the national
executive committee, as perma-
nent chairman.
But they lately became sus-
picious of Shouse and elected to
repudiate the agreement and sup
port Senator Walsh of Montana
for the permanent Craftsmanship.
They considered Shouse too
close" to the Smith-Raskob leader
ship.
Shouse said today he preferred
to flight out" his claim for the
permanent Craftsmanship on the
floor and not in the newspapers.
Farley said the Roosevelt forces
would "go down the line" for
Senator Walsh. His contention
was that Shouse had merely been
favored" for the permanent
craftsmanship. and there was
nothing binding on the Roosevelt
forces to back him.
