I am forever TN your debt"
with kindest regards,
TOM SMITH. sr.
(Alias Curt Little)
In a little cottage at the turn Of the
road in Millstream, Va. Gloria Smith
)sat with her husbands letter in her
hand. She had read 1t until she knew
every word by heart.
There came knock at the door. She
called softly:
Come in
It was the old station master-Jim
Barkley He walked In excitedly:
Mix Smith. here's a telegram just
come for you-from Tom-your husband
Gosh! They're comm in on the next
train from the West. Amt things
happenin' around here though. Can't
,, tell me nothin ever happens in this
here tank town"
Jim would have rambled on indefl-
nitely. But Gloria took the telegram
and dismissed him unceremoniously. She
tore the message open with fingers that
trembled:
Arriving evening train. All my love
xOM.
She looked at the clock on the man
tie above the old fireplace. Only a few
minutes. And so much to do! A soft
rosy flush stole over her pale face-to
the roots Of the hair that still re-
manned gold as the day her husband left
her 20 years before.
Feverishly she pulled herself in the
wheel chair through the living room
and into the bed room to a small cedar
chest that stood by her bed. With
hands that fluttered she lifted from its
lavender fragrance little voile gown
yellow with age
In the soft light it looked almost
new. She held it to her face for q
| moment, her brown eyes young and
| dancing with the light Of old romance
Then with gay little smile she slipped
out Of the blue gingham house dress
and into the gown that she had meant
to wear on her first wedding anniver-
Sary 20 years before.
Old memories came and brought Z
rosy glow to her cheeks. Once Ton
had told her she was pretty as q dande-
lion in 1t. Silly Tom! Who wanted tt
look like dandelion?
The train whistled in the distance.

granted, originated with Scion. Be-
fore his time no one, not even the
wealthy, could dispose of their prop
erty as they wished. Estates of all
deceased persons went to their farni-
lies. Plutarch says that the "archon"
esteemed friendship stronger tie than
kinship and affection stronger than
necessity, and thus allowed every man
to dispose OF his estate, but with some
restrictions.
These restrictions, in part, follow:
l. That people making wills must
not be adopted When adopted per-
sons die without issue, the estates they
received by adoption returned to the
relatives of the man who adopted them.
2. That people making wills must
not have male children of their own.
If they had. their estates belonged to
their children. If they had only daugh-
tiers, they might will their estates to
whom they pleased, but the men who
benefited by such wills had to marry
the daughters.
3. Men were allowed to appoint heirs
children died before reaching the age
Of 20.
4. Wills could not be made If in
duced by "the charms and insinuations
Of wife" Commenting ON this con-
dition, Plutarch says of Solon THE
wise law giver, with good reason,
thought that no difference was to be
put between deceit and necessity, nat
terry and compulsion, since both are
equally powerful to persuade a man
from reason"

P. w. r.
A. In the first place. it is not advis-
able for an inexperienced person to at
tempt to repair slate or tile roof, since
such a task is difficult and additional
damage may be caused. The approx
mate location of leaks in flashing the
lap Joint used in the angle where roof
meets other intersecting surfaces) may
often be determined by wet spots on the
walls or ceiling of the house. The fash
ing above and near such spots should be
carefully examined to ascertain the ex-
act location and cause of the leakage.
See if the flashing has become loosened
or corroded near the chimney or below
the junction between the roof and a
vertical wall or similar surface. Cracks
around flashing should be sealed with
elastic roofing cement or similar COM

way OF preventing a screen door from

A. A simple and effective way to
deaden the sound of screen door slam

felt cloth or rubber to the main door
frame at points of contact. One piece
should be placed at the top. another
