N. c. Delegation
Will Meet Soon
Bailey Plans To Call Meeting Latter
Part Of This Week Or Early
Next Week

Anticipating the patronage pro-
blems that will arise after the De-
mocrats take over control OF the
federal government on March 4,
members of the North Carolina
delegation in congress are schetul-
ed to hold a meeting within the
next few days to outline a program
for handling federal Offices in the
state.
Even this far in advance of the
Roosevelt Inauguration date, the
two senators and the several house
members have been literally swamp
ed with applications from Frospec-
tive office holders in the state.
What arrangements will be made
for distributing the patronage re-
mains to be seen.
Generally speaking, the indivl-
dual house members are expected
to be given the controlling voice
in naming postmasters in their res
pective districts while it will be
left to the two senators to say who
occupies the major state offices, in
Guiding district attorneys, U. S.
marshals, collectors and the like.
Senator Bailey and Senator Rey-
nolds will probably make an ar
rangement between themselves for
dividing up these Offices, with the
senior senator given full sway in
the southern federal judicial dis
trict aid a like authority given to
Senator Reynolds in the northern
Jurisdiction. Some special arran-
cement will have to be undertaken
with respect to the middle district.

The
Other Man
By Ruby M. Ayers

NINTH INSTALLMENT
Pauline moved hurriedly, her
pretty face flushing with pleasure
at the casual word of endearment.
Barbara noted it pityingly.
Later. when she was dancing
with Jerry Barnet, she said sud
denly
"Have you ever noticed, Jerry,
that when a man begins to call
his wife my dear is the end of
romance"
Jerry guffawed. Cant say I
have. but I dare say you're right.
Romance is the shortest lived
thing l know of, anyway. Awful"
Barbara glanced across the room
to where Dennis and his wife sat
together at the supper table. Paul
inc was watching the dancers
eagerly, her face flushed and her
eyes very bright. Dennis was
watching them to-moodily, his
hand idly playing with a ~wineglass.
When she and Barnet vent back
to the table, Dennis rose.
"Am | to be honored?" he ask
ed stifly.
Pauline broke in. "Do dance
with him, Parbie-I should love
you to, and it is a waltz they are
playing now"
Barbara laughed. "Well, to
please you 80.
She moved away onto the
crowded floor with Dennis.
They danced for some time in
silence; then. Dennis asked alb
ruptly:
"Do you really like this sort Of
thing?"
"What sort of thing?"
"This noise and glare-and-

To Plan How To Distribute Jobs

"You ought to rest" Pauline
scolded. I'm sure you must be dead
tired"
But Dennis hated breakfast in
bed and said so.
'sI'll have mine downstairs and
come up again." he said. So Paul
inc had hers alone. There was a
long mirror in a wardrobe door
opposite, and in it she could see
her rehection-a very charming
reflection. The new negligee suit
ed her, she decided, and she wond-
cred wistfully why Dennis had
not told her so.
She sighed and took up the let
ter. My Darling Child Cher moth
er wrote):
I am sitting up in bed writing
this, as I have not been very well.

we shall be only too pleased to

There was a good deal more, lit
tie details of the home life which
seemed to Pauline SO far away now
and uninteresting. Then a last
appeal:
Do come if you can; you don't
know how much | want to see you.
Pauline laid the letter down
with a feeling of guilt. She wish
ed she had told her mother of this
trip to New York, and vet in a
way she was glad now she had not,
because had she done so she knew
this letter would never have been
written.
She sighed and turned to pour
some coffee, and then she saw a
mother letter which had slipped
out of her sight behind the toast
rack. 1t was addressed in her
fathers handwriting, and Paul
ines heart missed a beat as she
tore the envelope open.

up in bed and was surprised to
see her hand trembled as she lifted
her cup.
The door opened, and Dennis
came in.
"Mother's ILL.," Pauline said in a
quivering voice.

two letters from her and read
them. "It's not as bad as that, is
it," he asked chidingly.
Pauline's eyes filled with tears.

guilt. 1t was not that she had any
great affection for Pauline. She
felt that somehow she was wrong
ing Dennis.
He was, as he had said, so unlike
other men. Dennis was different
and she knew that he despised
himself for the thing he could not
control. Yet the strange inexpli-
cable attraction which she had
felt for him for SO long had now
communicated itself to him and
was proving stronger than his own
inherent loyalty.
Barbara was essentially honest
with herself. No matter how much
she posed and dissembled before
her world she never for one mo-
ment tried to pretend to herself
that she was any better than she
was. And now at four o'clock in
this gray morning she sat down by
the fire before she went to bed
and looked into her heart with
cool elaboration.
She loved Dennis O'Hara as she
had never loved any man-that
was a truth that she had never
questioned. She was suflG iently
a woman of the world to recognize
that her attraction for him was
knew that she angered and exas-
perated him even while she drew
him, and that the obstinate, in
%tensely masculine trait in his char
acter longed to overcome her and
prove himself master.
She had controlled her love for
him bravely enough until tonight,
until that moment in Ritzn's little
room when he had taken her in his
arms and kissed her.
Dennis was married, but lots of
other men with whom she had
had affairs had also been married,
and it had not seemed as insuper-
able barrier, but here again Den
mis- was different.
Suppose he had been free. For
a moment Barbara gave herself up
to the wonderful happiness of that
thought. Free! So that she could
have married him!
She felt, for the first time, as
if she had lost her way on the road
of life; as if she had turned aside
and SO missed the greatest treasure
of all. Without her Dennis would
have been quite happy with Paul
inc, quite satisfied with her-bu1
WouM he? Wasn't he already tired
of Pauline's insistent affection.
her childishness, and her demands
upon him?
eff I hadn't come there would
have been somebody else some
day." Barbara told herself. Tha,
was life as she knew it.
, She tried to feel brave, and de-
termined, but when at last she got
into bed asleep was impossible.
She kept living over and over again
those few moments with Dennis
O'Hara. His kiss had been the
real thing seal set upon her
heart and soul forever.
The O'TIaras had been in New
Work three days when a letter
came from Pauline's mother.
Pauline was breakfasting in bed.
She had three late nights and was
tired. She also had a very new
and becoming negiigee, and she
wanted to see whether Dennis
noticed it. Apparently he had not.
He got up at the usual time,
bathed, and went downstairs to
breakfast.

and artifciality."
II adore it," Barbara said. 1t
was not the truth, but tonight she
was afraid of the truth.
II loathe it."
"Why are you here, then?"
Because you are.
Suddenly he swept her away from
the crowded floor and through an
arched alcove into a small unoc-
cupied room

Barbara said calmly"
"In a moment. l want to speak
to you"
"Pauline will miss u.s."
"She is dancing with Barnett

! "Let me 60"
"In a moment" He was between
her and the ballroom. "Look,
Barbara-answer me one question
and | swear I'll never mention it
again. I don't know what you've
done to me. It's like being pos
sessed-I've fought against t
ever since you left us. It's no use.
I've tried to despise you. I pre-
tended I didn't like you-but that
makes no difference. When l was
smashed up-you kissed me, Bar
bara."
There was a tragic silence, and
the scornful smile died slowly
from Barbara's face, and she just
looked at him, her lips quivering
her eyes suddenly very young.
Then she moved her hand slowly
and touched his.
DEMONSTRATING is very fond
of me-"
II know"
"Well, then" she took her
hand away-''let us go back, shall
we?"
Dennis went on quickly: 81

I'll never ask you again. If II

Her trembling lips smiled.
"Such a big it, Dennis"
At that moment he seemed tt
her almost a boy-no longer the
disappearing, almost brusque maj
she had known, and at that mo-
ment she felt also as if her bitter
experience had been swept away
from her and she was a girl agar
lin love for the first time.
She closed her eyes, and as al
most unconsciously she swayed to-
ward him, Dennis caught herin
his arms.
On the way home Jerry Barnet
was silent and su1ky. It was three
o'clock in the morning, gray anc
chilly with a fine drizzle of rain
Wrapped in her fur cloak Bar

She flung the rugs aside. 'I'm

with O'TIara. 1 thought you did
MT like him."
II don't remember discussing the
subject with you"
"You did. You said it was d

coming to town."
The street looked dreary and
decerted, there was not a light
in any window of the tall block
of flats. Barbara shivered. "Wel
goodnight" she said.
Barnet tried to put his arms
round her. "Are you going to have

demanded jealously. II saw hin

He broke off sharply, for insteae

for nobody else in Seattle seemed to,
not even Democrat
Last Spring Seattle was having its
mayorality race when Mr.. Meyers con-
ceived the idea of running for mayor
as publicity stunt Used to cajoling
his Jazz public as a facetious master
Of ceremonies. he launched campaign
OF nonsense that brought him front

Seattle's municipality street

first butt for the band masters humor.

and serve cracked ice and ginger ale

At a political luncheon he appeared
as Mahatma Gandhi, wearing a loin
cloth and pair of horn-rir1med glasses
and leading goat. When it came time
for speeches, Mr. Meyers was called
upon and gave his contribution, he dis
played placard that proclaimed This
is my day of silence"
Mr.. Meyers Gandhi is said to have
been flawless, except that his heavy set
muscular body didn't look as though it
had ever undergone day of fast.

and he began to think perhaps he was
as good politician as a band master.
Mr.. Meyers began to take himself
seriously
But when Election day rolled around
Mr.. Meyers awoke to discover he had
run ninth in the mayorality race and
Seattles body polite breathed a sigh
of relief
However, this defeat didn't discourage
the band master. The State election
was in the offing and he looked over
political possibilities to discover that he
could file for lieutenant governor on
the Democratic ticket. And he did.
However lieutenant is a big word for
a one-syllable band master and it is
said that when he presented himself to
file for the Office, he asked how to spell
lieutenant
But whether he could spell the title
of his Office or not, Mr. Meyers won
the primaries and when Gov Elect
Clarence Martin was swept into the
governorship by a plurality of 150, 900
votes, he awoke the morning after elec-
ton to the staggering realization that
the Nations Democratic cataclysm had
showed a jazz band leader on to his
staff of lieutenant governor Possibly,
Mr.. Meyers was equally surprised, but
1t happened he was more pleased than
Mr. Martin.
Mr.. Meyers likes to declare in public
utterance, II am "a, the next to the
youngest of 16 children. I always tell
this to the amusement of the men and
the amazement of the women"
