Relief for Distressed City and Farm Families Planned
CRIMSON SHOP
 RE.OPENS FRIDAY
We'll Known Store in- creases Floor Space
 and Stocks

Presenting to the public of Wa terbury one of the most elaborate and up-to-date display of women's apparel, the local store of the Grayson Shops, nationwide mer- cantile establishment, located at 70 South Main street, will be for the inspection and approval of the thousands of local persons who appreciate stock of the latest re- lease. Formerly located at 146 South Main street. the Grayson Shops found it necessary to shift to the new quarters in order to meet the constantly growing business of the concern as the accompany ing demands for added lines.
 As at 146 South Main street. Mrs E. Sheridan Madden will be mana ger of the new store. It was orig inally planned to open the store at 70 South Main street today, but due to the elaborate and beauti- full cabinet and fixture work in the torially held up until tomorrow morning.
 Working under Mrs. Madden, who is well known throughout Waterbury and vicinity, will be the same staff that was at the 14b South Main street store, including the Misses A. Pelosi, B. Mallette, E. Dyson, M.- Fitzpatrick, P. Con- tanti and M. Day. At the old store the concern carried only dresses and hosiery. In the new location a full line of dresses, coats, suits,
 riN cd II, a new store has also been appointed exclusively to handle the Water bury sales of No-Strain Hosiery.
 Mrs. Madden will be in the buy ing office in New York once a effects. She will also be ready, be- York, to handle any special re- quests from persons seeking cer- tain models or styles. Mrs. Mad den stated today that she will be glad to take care of such requests The telephone number of the new store will be the same as the one at the store just vacated.
 Tomorrow mornings formal opening of the new store is ex- pected to bring many people to in- spect the fine up-to-date stocks that has been procured and set up In all there are 95 Grayson Shops in operation throughout the Uni ted States. Because of this large buying capacity, the concern has a decided preference in the se- lection of the latest styles and is also able to pass on to the buying public the advantage of low prices for high quality merchandise.

at Ansonia. Miss Helen Gregory is interviewing relief families in An sonia, Shelton and Derby to deter mine those with agricultural back grounds. Other families not on relief will be contacted, either by mail or by direct interview at the office in the armory in Ansonia. H. Daniel Darling and Robert o. Dor man comprise the office staff in Ansonia. William H. Garrigus, Athur T. Nichols and William E.. Hickey are conducting the indus- trial and social survey of the area.
 The movement of city families to rural areas within committing dis tance of industrial centers de- mands cautious handling and for this reason the rural rehabilitation section of the state relief admins tration is conducting intensive and impartial observation and study of the families, industries and social organizations that would be affect ed by such movement.
 Aid for Farm Families
 The second phase of the rural rehabilitation program deals with lending aid to distressed farm families. A preliminary check-up has shown that some one hundred families on relief in that condition are already located on farms. Charles Oliver, relief supervisor o1 the rehabilitation office, is making a more intensive study of thes. families. It is expected that farm families now on relief are not pro ducing enough for their own fam fly food supply. If it is found that these cases could be helped to raise more of their own food for cor- sumption, aid will be extended through the purchase of stock ,r equipment to be repaid by labC, cash or goods in kind. The resuts of this work will indicate to what made self-sustaining through this type of assistance.
 Studies made by Connecti,ut State college have shown tiat through Connecticut's history many wage earners in the state hivc lived on farms where they have been able to produce some of tleir own food supply and that today nearly half of the farm families still obtain their livlihood by c,m- bining rural living with outide employment. The first objective of the rural rehabilitation program will be to estimate to what extent the combination of agriculture and industry can beused to help t. a'- leviate Connecticut's relief lrob- lem.

By R. U. DAvIs

Ben muttered something which sounded unpleasant. Pearl con- tinued to regard him calmly as he paced back and forth across the room; but her mind was active. Very active. She loved him, and felt sure that he loved her. But did he realize it? Evidently not.
 Listening to the rain beating against the parlor windows, she sent up little prayer of thanks. He couldn't leave while it was raining so hard, although it was plain that he wanted to. He was angry, and she had made him so.
 For the life of her, Pearl couldn't tell why she was so jeal- ous of Ben. Her only ground for fearing Edna Lacey was the fact that Ben saw Edna every day at the office. He could hardly help 1t, since she was secretary to Ben's boss. And now, Pearl thought, she was driving Ben away by her suspicious. She looked at him sor- rowfully as he paced the floor, scowling.
 "Do you mean to say" he asked plaintively, "that there isn't an umbrella in the house?"
 "We do own one," she assured him; "but papa took it with him to lodge meeting, and he won't be back until late" Which was only a couple of umbrellas short of the truth.
 She had expected Ben to propose f1io n hn hnx too, she reflected gloomily, if she Edna Lacey. She had laid the scene carefully. Her mother was away visiting a sister; her father lodge meeting; and only Bobby, 10- year-old brother, was at home. And he had received definite orders to keep out of sight.
 Glancing at Ben she could see that his anger was cooling gradual ly. She knew that Ben didn't want to leave any more than she wanted him to. The sound of the rain and the proximity of Pearls loveliness were uniting to soothe his outraged emotions.
 She patted the couch at her side invitingly. "Sit down, Ben. I'll promise not to bite"
 He grinned rather reluctantly, and sank down beside her. His eyes, however, were on the win dows at the side of the room, against which the rain was beat ing. The front windows were pro- tected by the wide front porch.
 Look at me, Ben," she said softly, and he turned to face her. As he regarded her, his face soft ened.
 Don't you like me at all?" she asked huskily.

 Happily, Pearl looked at tfz4 windows and saw that 1t had { l< most stopped raining. But wAaf did she care? Ben loved her. and it was just question of minutes until he would propose. And then she frowned slightly. There WAS one thing she did want to knew so hadlv

"HE DREW HER CLOSE.
 "Are you sure," she whispered against his coat, that you don't care anything about Edna-
 She felt his body stiffen.s His hand released hers. His arm with drew from about her shoulders. A swift glance showed her that poison-toad look gripped his features. He got to his feet, and she saw him look at the windows.
 Guess I'd better run along. he said gruffly. "It's about stopped raining. I'll be back when you quit being jealous"
 Pearly looked at the windows with panic-stricken eyes. Why, oh why, did it have to quit raining this critical time?
 "I'm sorry, Ben," she said tear- fully, and rose. Then her face frightened suddenly. Don't run away for minute" she begged, moving toward the door leading in- to the kitchen, ''rll be back in A minute. Maybe I can find you a |. II bit" And she was gone before he could protest. When she returned to the parIor he was pacing the floor. He looked quickly at her, and saw that she was empty handed. T couldn't find one." she told him. I'm sorry"
 Tt doesn't matter" he said. Tt 1 isn't raining hard
 And then their eyes went to the windows again-and saw that the rain was beating against them harder than ever. It seemed that the skies were emptying them- selves.
 Pearl shivered. and went close to him. Looks like a cloudburst-
 A minute later they were again seated on the couch. "I'll never be jealous again." she promised. Honest, I won't"
 He looked at her suspiciousIy for a moment, then his face softened Pearls lovely face-and remain suspicious.
 Five minutes later his arm was again around her and tighter than | ever. Fifteen minutes later, to tho music of rain beating against the windows, he asked:
 "Will you marry me, Pearl. love you so." A few minutes after his proposal she excused herself and left ff1o room. She passed through the Kitchen and out through the back door. She went around the Side. Of the house and looked with amused eyes at what she saw there:
 Her brother Bobby was standing gloomily in the darkness, garden hose in hand, spraying stream Of water over the parlor windows. You can turn off the rain now. Bobby" she called softly.
