Bob grabbed her arm "Sue, I want to talk
to you"

shouted. When the girl who is to be my wife
continues making fool of herself over a pro-

You put him up," Sue remarked as Bob
paused for breath
Put him up against real man." Bob went

Suddenly, Sue laughed. "Oh, Bob. stop it! If
it will make you happy, III promise never to
speak to Timothy Royale again"
Bob eyed her somberly. Sue" he said, "its
just that hate to have you let yourself in for

her smile.
CUE kept her word. When she met Timothy
- Royale on the beach the next morning she
simply didn't see him. And after that he gave
her no chance to see him, an arrangement
which, perversely enough, annoyed her.
She pretended not to notice when he paid
assiduous court to the statuesque brunette. She
pretended not to see the triumphant "I told you
so" in Bob Lyons eyes. She pretended not to
care when Carol Burkhart whispered eagerly:
ooh, Sue, Mrs. Simmons is giving beach
party at her estate In honor of Timothy Roy
ale And we're invited"
Bob Lyons displayed sudden interest. Mrs.
Simmons eh? Well, we'll have to go, Sue"
But" Sue began uncertainty.

the alluring setting, little swimming was being

directly behind Bob. After a brief delay
while she tried vainly to avoid looking at him
Timothy caught Sues eye His lips formed
silent word:
"Please!"
But Sue seeing how tenderly he held the bru-

well what lay behind his pleading. He couldn't

"I-well, I can't explain It," he said. but

Sues hand frightened on his arm. Sues face
lifted to his. Sues lips parted breathlessly.
Timothy Royale gathered her in his arms and
bent his head

You react so perfectly to every cue!"
Timothys arms dropped to his sides. And
Sue saw then an expression on his face that

APARTMENTS
NEEDED HERE

'There is a demand il Ell Cen
tro for small, modern apartments, y
states Robert Hays, manager of
the Ell Centro Chamber of Com
merce. BY this 1 do not mean
light housekeeping rooms, or rooms
with use of kitchen, but modern
apartments such as are found in
larger cities. Nor do l mean that
the chamber desires listing of such
available rooms. This statement
is Just the result of observations
made during the past month at
chamber headquarters.
During the past months we
have had many calls from persons
who have come to Imperial Valley
to spend the winter to improve
their health. In many cases these
callers have been women, often
elderly, VINO desire TO stay in 81
Centro a few months but who dc
not wish to stay at hotel, nor
be burdened with a house. They
have been people with moderate
incomes, not desiring employment
and their requests have been for
comfortable, we'll heated, furnish
ed apartments.
I'm addition to health seekers
we have had a number Of people
connected with the lettuce CROP
movement looking for small apart
ments at reasonable prices. But
again, in every case, these callers
have wanted modern apartments
similar to those found in coast
cities
Hays continued. I'VE realize that
summer months present a prob
lem. or would present a problem
for apartment house owners, but
it seems strange that community
which has so much to offer il
way of climate and health. to WIS.,
itors cannot provide them with 6
modern place to live. Now thai
prices of material are low anc
construction work can be done
more reasonably than for many
years, it would seem to be an idea
time to build modern apartments
There is no question about the fill
ing of such apartment houses dur
ing the winter months and, with
proper air conditioning system
they might prove popular tho
year round"
