from the white climbing rose.
A few neglected feet of earth.
Yet, with the changing light
it is transformed-Slips from
one phase of beauty to another.
In the whole circle of the hours
it is never quite the same.
Very early in the morning
when I begin to write-otten
before sunrise-the place seems
bubble frail. There is no
weight or substance to 1t;
shape or color. Shadowy as
dream it lies there in the
pearly light.
Slowly, imperceptibly. the
dawn quckens. The rocks take
shape. The earth warns, soft
as ash. The pine trunk rounds
into a shaft of smoke. Then
suddenly, like a quick peal OF
music, there's the sun! The
light clings to the kindling in
a bright, wet web-tralls
cleaning from INe IOusIl4Acoo
of the rocks-spreads. till the
air is filled with silver threads.
A small bird flashes like a
bobbin through the loom OF
light. A brief breeze shakes a
bending blade of grasS-like
scattered beads of dewdrops
roll along the dust. A moment
more, the world is rose and
gold!
Hot noon. Again there are
no shadows. Now again, the
place seems drowned-in sun
shine, as it was in night.
Drowned, drenched and drained
of color by the heat. Light
falls, rebounds, hangs in a
uuivering film of flame. Al
most one hears it clang against
the hot, white anvil OF the
earth. Is it like this, one
wonders, on the moon?

Although you may think the
costumes worn on California
beaches the smartest in the
world, and the suits that film
stars don for a morning
plunge much the most de-
sirable, they are in reality just
about the same that you can
find in washington, if you
shop all the stores. The strip
of pictures on this page proves
the point. Two of the suits
are available in local stores.
and the same types can be
found anywhere.
Cut and Color First
AS to fashion points of new
swim suits, the three main
things are good cut, good color,
and as little suit AS possible.
Backs are low or nonexiStent,
but suits are cut so that they fit
anyway, and give you a feeling
of their firmness even when
they are wet.
All sorts of halter effects.
draw-string necklines. and strap
arrangements allow for good
tanning surface, along with snug
fit. Skirts seem a little longer
this year, so that you can wear
them without feeling they are
running up all the time.
Yellow Will Be Good
AS to color. 1T seems the
gayer the better this year.
Weaves are varied and individ-
ual, too. with many waffle ef-
fects, stripes and novelties in
cluded. It's impossible to say
this early what colors will be

shifting here and shifting there and
making themselves entirely at home.
There was no doubt in her mind
whose dogs these were. and she
watched them with interest while
awaiting the advent of their master;
which she felt certain would be uncon-
ventional. Yet he did not come and at
last one of the solid, substantial little
creatures, never unconscious of her
presence, advanced to her side and put
one paw on her knee as If to beg per-
mission for some further favor. She
leaned over to make out his name on
his silver collar: 'Beaucaire" She
twisted it around "Johnstone Nesbit.
Park avenue Manhattan" she read.
and now she confessed her surprise to
herself. When had he taken up his
habitat in Park avenue?
"All right, Beau" she said softly,
patting her knee and at once the dog
sprang into her lap and proceeded TO
make himself comfortable; as IL he
had known her all his short life. The
other dog still held aloof, and this, for
some reason, displeased her. The dis
dainful one was undoubtedly Voltaire
and it was his favor she wished to
win. She was not a Martha Washing
ton Mercedes, to be scorned by Stones
pet.
OF sudden she became aware that
Voltaire was growing. She turned
and looked at him in amazement and
the low rumbling in his throat fell
lower and died out.
She devoted her attention to Beau
caire, and at once the growing began
again.
Smif was accustomed to dogs and
thought she knew all their ways, but
bulldogs were new breed in her expe-
rience and all she had heard of them
was the legend of their fierceness. The
noise this beast was making was
menacing. Telling herself that Stone
would not have left her alone with a
dangerous animal. she forced herself
to sit as still as IL she were deaf
to it's threats. while the sound rose
to a snarling strength. Then. before
she could attempt to defend herself.
voltaire launched himself upon her,
licking her hands and trying to nose
Beaucaire from his place of vantage
in her lap.

a nonchalant entry, his hands deep in
his pockets. sit was your voice that

CHAPTER VII

For some time Sniff heard no more
of her new and disturbing consultant.
and her business settled back into a
routine that, If ii did not interest her
deeply, taxed her still less which was
as well In view of the fact that she
was losing weight steadily and had not
reached the point where she had
ceased to find dieting irksome-
Moreover her vanity was not yet APP
pealed to, since there was no appre-
ciable change in her appearance. Her
scales told different story and Doc

marks and written in the vein of mys-
terry that is generous in "you know
who" while sedulously emitting names.
Sniff smiled and felt about fourteen
again as she replied with short note
in the same schoolgirl style. From
Stone she received no word a fact
that perhaps kept him more in the
forefront of her mind than If he had
bombarded her with letters.
One afternoon, her days engage
ments over. she had seated herself for
a moment to review the work of the
day preparatory to changing her dress
and starting for the Badminton, when
she heard the quick scamper Of little
feet and two dogs burst into the room

flute while maintaining the customary
civilities. and Smif was not given TO
attempting the impossible, YET before
she summoned her next client she was
forced again to remind herself of the
fact that because Miss Mercedes did
not strike her as the ideal companion,
1t did not necessarily follow that Stone
Nesbit would agree with her.

"rll think7ft over. What was it that
took him back to Lovelylea in such
hurry?"
"Who is voltaire?" Smif asked. She
was curious on the point, having been
given no opportunity to ask Stone.
"Those d-n dogs!" Miss Mercedes
exclaimed when I'm Mrs. Nesbit, l
declare I'll poison them"
Sniff, who was fond of dogs. began
to repent of the decision to forward
her marriage.

will be good for him to go over there

This thought had occurred to Sniff
the night before. Coming from Mercy,
she found herself revolving against it,
while she mentally noted that Stone
had not mentioned either Lester or
his friends to her.

she said, her voice as cold as Ice. "Mr.

Without further urging from Pamela,
Sniff had talked her oldest child over
with Susan. who finally had become
convinced of the unwisdom of forcing
Pam to do anything repugnant to her.
"But what of me? My plans are all
made to sail on the fourteenth"

off with Charlie to Nauheim. He
doesn't need a cure but it fatters him
when he fancies you are anxious about
him; and. since Pam came out, you
haven't had much time to devote to
him."
"He certainly is much more amiable
after a stay at Nauheim. Moreover,
it will save my face. IT has somehow
leaked out that Pam was to he pre-
scented. and every one will understand
that a sick husband must take pre-
cedence over a well daughter. But
what about Pam? What is she to do

House. of Gold

In recent years improved methods of
gold mining have made it possible to
extract the metal from ore which for
merly was considered too poor to be
profitable. Guanajuato. a Mexican
town, was built with earth taken from
the workings during an early gold
rush. Years later a man was demol
ishing one of the houses and realized
that the walls contained gold in suffi
cient quantities TO be extracted with
profit. The news spread, and before
long every house in the town had been
knocked down by eager owners.

Easter was observed in the
churches throughout our community

vices, and the bright springlike
weather helped to bring out large
congregations.
In the morning at Rising Sun M.

and special music was rendered by
the choir.
In the evening the Sunday School
was in change and presented pag-
cant entitled "The Uushadowed
Cross" which with the darkened
auditorium and special lighting of
the platform was very impressive.
In somber costume girls repre-
senting Doubt, Fear, Sorrow, Indif-

cast dark shadows over the cross
erected at the back of the platform,
but these shadows in turn were dis

TRUCK pLuNGEs INTO CREEK

Getting out of control when the
brakes failed to hold on a steep hill,
a truck occupied by three men, ran
down the hill and plunged through
the side of covered bridge over the
Octoraro creek, near the Pumping
Station, in Colerain Township, Lam
caster county, one day last week.
The occupants were Harry Wenger,
of Murrell, owner and driver OF the
five-ton truck; Gerhart Newstadter
and John Newsletter, of near Eph-
rata.
The three were thrown from the
cab into the water, which was about
~ feet below the bridge. Gerhart
Newsletter had severe laceration
of the face, which required hve
stitches to close. John Newsletter
and Wenger were cut and bruised.
