City of Three Rivers Starts Two Month Program;
 France Sending 800 Government Officials

Trois Rivieres, P. Q. (UP)-This old French Canadian city. twenti- eth century paper pulp capital of the world, is shelving it's modern ity to re-live the days of its found- ing 800 years ago and launch the Province of Quebec on a two- months program of historical ob- servances throughout the St Law renee river country.
 Chief interest, generally, is cen tering in the 400th anniversary celebrations of the discovery of Canada by Jacques Cartier. who found the St Lawrence and New France while searching for a new route to Cathay in 1534. In addi- Rivieres, fetes are scheduled for country for God and France, in Quebec City. Montreal and at Fort Niagara.
 Meantime, this city of 35,000 French Canadians is setting the pace with an elaborate program oi pageants, tableaux, the dedication of memorials and other ceremonies honoring the Sieur de La Violette, La Verendrye, La Sale, Joliet, Pete Marquette, Nicolet and oth- CTS. who loomed large in the col onization of North America.
 City Founded in 1884
 La Violette founded Trois Rivi- eres in July, 1884, acting under orders from Samuel de Champlain to build there on the confluence of the three branches of the St Maurice river, a fort to protect Quebec City from attack. The others. men of adventure, of the church. and the arts, pressed on in later years to cross Canada and thrust deeply into the middle and far western portions of the United States.
 Four nations and the governors of at least half a dozen states are scheduled to take active parts in the summer anniversaries here. President Roosevelt is expected to be the chief figure in ceremonies

Katherine had been in bed Pierre and Viola were practically alone in the house, for the nurse was mostly in Katherine's room. During those seven weeks they must have fallen In love with each other Oh. she had warned Katherine the very first day Pierre had come to the house. Oh, why hadn't she listened to her?
 Mrs O'Brien's mind was in a turmoil when she reached the bot tom step. Her fingers itched to clamp themselves on Viola's throat. How dared she destroy Katherine's happiness. But she wouldn't do it. not while Mrs Rameau was alive.
 And now Viola came toward her her face as innocent as a babes

1878 PITCHERS
 WOMAN'S HOBBY
Bay Stater's Collection One of Largest in the
 World

Newtonville, Mass (UP)--Mrs Lue Stuart Wadsworth has per- haps the largest collection ot pitchers in the world-187S of them.
 They are all sizes and shapes and hold from one drop to a gallon of liquid. Mrs Wadsworth has many odd pitchers besides the one that holds the single drop. She has one that was made from the pulp of $10,00O before the government started keeping the destroyed money, one with the scene of Cal win Coolidge being sworn into office by his father by lamplight, and others made from seaweed, wood, paper, quartz, pottery, bronze, glass and one. crocheted but capable of holding water.
 To make the collection more in- teresting she has arranged them in rows, each row depicting diff ferent things. In the Alphabet" row, for example, each pitcher tells different nursery rhyme, let ter or story. Painted or pasted on the sides is the rhyme or story. The "Cross Country" row has the collection that was picked up in different states, the "Circus" has clowns in many different positions
 Mrs Wadsworth said the pitchers had cost her practically nothing because friends and even strangers have presented them to her to help increase the unique collection.

think 1t over, Katie. I know he's in love with you know. but will he be in love with you when you are older? Say, when you're forty and you're not as pretty as you are now. That's the time when those Frenchmen artists go looking for younger women. Of course don't hope for anything like that. But want you to be happy, Katie. want you to live all your life with your man."
 Katherine put her arm around her mother. I'm sorry, mother, but there is nothing you can say that would discourage me. love him. I'll always be happy with him. He's the romantic type.'
 After you get married there's no romance" Mrs O'Brien spoke from experience. Don't be so fool ish, Katie"
 Katherine and Pierre were mar ried. The years rolled by. They celebrated their tenth anniversary. Katherine was thirty-five She was still pretty, but she lacked the freshness of former years, Per- haps she worried over the fact that there were no children.
 Pierre looked the same as he did when first married, young and boyish. Mrs O'Brien sighed. She wished the years would tell on him too. She knew that Katherine was happy, but she lived in con-
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-28

stant fear that her happiness might terminate at any moment.
 When Katherine and Pierre were married fourteen years, Rather ines widowed aunt died. She left a blonde girl of 20.
 "I'm going to ask her to live with me-" Katherine said to her mother.
 Mrs O'Brien glared at her. You'll do nothing of the kind.'
 Katherine laughed. "Oh, mother you haven't change bit. You own sisters child, won't let you take her in."
 ''Mother!" Katherine said in sur prise. That doesn't sound like you at all."
 Mrs o'Brlen hesitated. She did mt want to say 1t, but as last resort, in the hope of influencing her daughter, she said: You're in- viting trouble, Katie. Viola is young and beautiful. She's nine- teen years younger than you are. She is full if life and the devil. She's always liked Pierre. And seeing her every day, Pierre might fall in love with her. Its danger out Katie.''
 still distrust Frenchmen and ar tists.''
 Over her mothers objections, Katherine took Viola into her home. Pierre was pleased, but Mrs O'Brien wasn't, especially when she heard Pierre call Viola "my pretty one."
 Tt doesn't mean a thing" Kath- crime assured her mother.
 'I hope not" Mrs O'Brien said with fear in her heart. She wished she had more influence over her daughter. But you might tell that little chit thing or two. I don't like the idea of her walking around the house in pajamas. Let her put on more clothes"
 When Katherine took sick, Mrs O'Brien came to see her every day. She prayed at the bedside, but to ness. As she counted up the days she realized that Katherine had been in bed for seven weeks. She was pale and haggard, With only a trace of the beauty that had once been hers.
 ''I guess I'll call up father" Mrs O'Brien said, picking up the French phone from the bed table.
 The telephone was on an exten- sion connected with the phone in the living room below. When she put the instrument to her ear she heard the voice of Pierre and realized that she had accidentally

I wouldn't trust a Frenchman as far as I could throw a piano. They're always chasing after wo- men. You can't hold them. What does he do for living? ?'' He's an artist"
 My Gawd!" Mrs o'Brien put both hands to her gray head. An artist! wouldn't trust an artist as far as could throw an elc- phant. They're all free-lovers. No morals at all. A Frenchman is bad enough, but if he's an artist. too, then he's about the worst person in the world" Katherine laughed. You had better stop reading those cheap magazines, mother. want you to like Pierre" !
 "It won't be necessary" Mrs O'Brien said curtly. He won't be around here much. He'll find out that you're good girl and he won't have anything to do with you"
 T ought to be angry with you for saying that, mother, but I'll let it pass. You mean we'll" |, Pretty Katherine O'Brien with the slightly upturned nose, the jet black hair and the sparkling blue eyes, kissed her mother and left the house.
 It was just a week ago that she had first met Pierre. She was at the information desk of the pub fishing house when Pierre. With the smell of Paris still in his clothes. came in with several canvases under his arm. He had painted some pretty heads which he wished to sell for magazine covers.
 He was tall and slim and very handsome. About twenty-six years old. Just year older than Kath- erine. When she looked up into his brown eyes, a warm glow swept over her and for the first time in her life, the efficient Kath- erine was Mustered.
 She asked to see the canvases and something within her prayed that they should be good. They were, and it made her feel very glad.
 She didn't bother to call the art editors office to ask if he would see the stranger. She got up from the desk and told Pierre to follow her.
 Then she did very strange thing for a girl who had been loyal to her. employers for many years. At the moment she didn't know what prompted her to do it. HES GOING TO
 BARGAIN WITH YOU"
 Hes going to bargain with you," she said to Pierre, but don't sell for less than hundred dol lars apiece. Understand? That's between you and me-"
 She opened the door of the edi- torial sanctum. I've got a find it will be worth your while to look MT Martin," she said. "I think it will be worth yourwhile to look over his paintings"
 She left the office and returned to her desk in the outer office. About half hour later Pierre stood before her empty handed.

broken in on a conversation. Her first, thought was to put back the telephone, but the few words she had heard made her gasp and press the instrument to her ear with fe- verish anxiety.
 well, my pretty one," Pierre said, q have arranged everything for our departure. In my pocket at this moment I have two railroad tickets for Palm Beach. We shall go away to the land of sunshine and find new happiness"
 1"How thrilling!" It was the voice of Viola Taylor. Now let me tell you why I called you up. You'll have to bring me more money, Pierre. I spent everything you gave me. Il bought the loveliest dresses and two beautiful bathing suits. You'll adore them when you see them. But now I need money for underthings.'
 "Of course" Pierre said. And don't be stingy. I want you to get the very prettiest things. If you

Perhaps if mademoiselle would do me the honor we could have din- ner together?'
 T just love to celebrate," Kath- crime said. "You can meet me in front of the building at five thirty"
 Despite Mrs O'Brien's predic- tions, Pierre became frequent visitor in the O'Brien household. Mrs O'Brien could find no particu- lar fault with him, but she still clung to her prejudices.
 When Katherine told her that they were going to be married, Mrs O'Brien was silent for a mo- ment. Then she spoke slowly: T know there's no use in my saying anything. You're of age and you're going to do what you want. But

 Pierre is a nice boy" Mrs O'Brien said. Then she looked back at the past wistfully. "Y'know, Katie. don't think woman is SO foolish when she marries the TO- mantle type"
