Gypsy with attentions and Tom
is jealous.
BrOughtOn offers her a Job on
Saturdays, catalOguing his library
and Gypsy accepts without telling
Tom. Just as she finishes the
work she Is taken iii and the
doctor tells her she Is going to

must give up her Job at the set
Element. Gypsy Is happy keeping
house until lila comes back from
a winter in Florida and asks her
to luncheon. Gypsy realizes her
clothes arc shabby in comparison
with LlIa's.
CHAPTER XVIII
The big car slid up and Lila got
out. She was in suave black from
head to foot, with accents of white.
White gloves, white flowers on her
tilted black pageboy's pillbox, frill
of white organdic emerging from
her jacket. Gypsy. waiting in one
corner of the lobby, saw her come
in. Even in that we'll dressed throng
of MONDAY butterflies. Lila stood
out. Heads were turned as she
went though, consciously uncon-
scious of scrutiny.
Gypsy thought, humorously,
"Surely I'm the only woman In the
restaurant who's washed her own

lunchers were so sleek and assured.
they made her feel shabby and
small.
Lila was all gracious interest.
After a brief and gay recital of
her own winter fitting, she had
turned the conversation to the
Weavers' affairs. What were their
plans for the summer? She and
Derek were taking a little place at

the continent from each other, so
she went back to single blessed
ness, via the courts.
Mrs Georgia Reid, recent d.
vorcee, could explain Mr. Reds
shutting her up in the folding bed
only by the fact that when he
came home one evening she said,
why are you so late, George?"
She happened to be in bed at
the time, resting from day of
housework. George didn't like the
question. Instead of answering he
seized the end of the bed and dou-
bled it up against the wall.

There Mrs Reid remained. in
considerable discomfort, until her
sister, who lived in an adjoining
apartment. heard her screams and
released her.
The whole thing was a trying or
deal and, related in court, it won
legal freedom for Mrs Reid.

Another unusual cause for di-
vorce was that advanced by Mrs
Ruth Newton of Los Angeles, who
asked the judge to end her mar
rage because one night, during a
party, her husband ate her pet
goldfish.
Mrs Myrtle STANCE obtained free
dom from her bugle-playing hus-
band because he insisted ON prac-
ticing his music at 5 q. m. or there
abouts. Mrs Emily johnson of Los
Angeles won a divorce because her
husband laughed at everything she
said. Mrs Mary Thorson of Mil
waukee is minus spouse because
the one she had was subject to
nightmares and kicked her out of
bed.
And so It goes on and on and
on. Some live happily ever after

always will be.

Shortly thereafter, Mrs Vever-

the fact that he criticized her

He was extremely suspicious

Mrs Carter couldn't stand It,.
She pulled off her clothes and the

surance that over 12-month per-
iod the income per worker would
be greater by reason of increased
employment.
II is obvious enough that a
skilled worker employed for 40
weeks of 30 hours each at ST an
hour would earn $1,000 while en-
ployment for 20 weeks at $1.50 an
hour brings him only $780, 1t is
possible that reduction of hourly
wage scales would so stimulate
construction that the supply of
jobs would double.
But when labor is approached on
such programs the first question
asked in behalf of the workers is
who is going to guarantee in
creased employment to compensate
for reduction of union wage scales.
Neither Mr.. Roosevelt nor his
aides has devised any answer to
that question.

There are great possibilities,

Ickes is familiar with the wage
problem. The National Industrial
Recovery Act, which created PWA
provided for wage scales which, in
effect, give labor where it is well
organized, the rates established for
union labor. The act stipulated a
30-hour week on construction jobs
financed by the government. These
wage scales are expected to pro-
vide a reasonable standard of liv-
ing.
