A Casual Introduction To Ann HoIlister
 : Starts Things

T hope not" Sarah replied de- voutly.
 All afternon she felt vaguely troubled. at last coming to the realization that Ann Hollister-- or rather the combination of Ann Hollister and Tony Mickle,. irre- sponsible young commercial art ist-was the cause of it.
 The trouble was that Sarah really liked Tony. Women invari- ably did. There were some who hated him and loved him at the same time. Eileen Wallace for instance.
 More than once Tony had told Eileen he was through, yet she was constantly bobbing up again in the turbulent stream that was Tony's life.
 She was sorry he had seen Ann Hollister. He would be danger ous for girl as young, as un- sophisticated as Ann seemed.
 Sarah and Ann had spent sew eral hours together the day be- fore and the older girl had real. ized that, while Ann was intelli- gent, she was a long way from sophistication. Certainly not a match for anyone as charming and clever as Tony.
 The following afternoon about 3 o'clock, Tony arrived as usual. He bowed extravagantly to Sarah, passing her desk, a mocking smile in his eyes.

Sarah Begins To Have Her Doubts
 About Tony
CHAPTER IT

Afterward Sarah Kent was sure that she. had realized trouble was brewing when she saw Tony head Eng for the library.s- reference de- partment. Ohly-a girl, Sarah was certain, could have drawn Tony ir- 70 the gloomy quiet of the refer ence room, and kept him there for two whole hours!
 Suddenly Sarah came to an- other of her quick, intuitive de- cisions. Tony was turning book 1sh because of that red d-headed giil from Georgia, Ann Hollister, who had been added to the staff only tnis week and temporarily as- signed to assist Mrs Heating. ref erence librarian.
 There was not chance in the world that Tony Mickie would fail to notice pretty girl any. where. Certainly not chance that he would overlook this new girls lovely hair, her lashes and that provocative tilt of her nose.
 Following her "hunch'', Sarah walked from the information desk to the reference room and looked inside. At sthe far end of the room Tony was hunched4 over a table, his black hair rumpled as usual, apparently engrossed in a, large book spread before him..
 Sarah went back to ,sthe lobby. She was willing to give Tony the benefit of the doubt. .

 Hartford County is still the bed of the state measles epidemic. Hartford, alone, has 15S of the 222 cases reported in Connecticut dur ing the past week. Of the 222 cases reported, Fairfield county, reported only two, Middlesex and New Ha- ven counties reported one apiece and Holland county came through with only three.

College Graduates
 Join Blister Rust
Sixty White Collar Men Assigned to Jobs in Southern
 Counties of Connecticut for Winter Months

the southern parts of Litchfield, Hartford and Holland counties.
 A state forestry project the work is organized by Austin F. Hawes, state forester, financed by federal funds, and supervised by the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station at New Haven.
 Men employed range in age from 35 to 73 years. They are minis ters, statesmen, brokers, clerks and students. Resources gone, through continued years of depression and unemployn1ent, they are happy to earn the four dollars a day offered by re-employment. offices fin the cities of Connecticut. The total weekly payroll, as reported by the Experiment Station, averages near ly $500.
 s The work of the men is one more step in the united drive against a fungus disease that threatens a state resource valued at more than $11, 100000. Blister rust is a dead ly enemy of white pine. Fortunate ly it does not spread from tree to tree and there is no necessity for cutting down a diseased tree sur rounded by healthy pines. The fungus depends on currant or gooseberry bushes as intern ediary hosts, for propagation and spread.
 During spring, spores from in- fected pines are carried by wind or insects to the ribes. They att tack the leaves, producing thou sands of new invisible spores which in turn, are carried to healthy pines. In general, spores do not travel more than 300 feet. How ever, those developed on the Eu- ropean black currant retain their virulence after blowing several miles. Therefore the black cur rant is outlawed in Connecticut. New York, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, and certain other states.
 Thanks to cooperation of state and federal agencies, there is every hope to control blister rust in Connecticut. Already. the nor ern part of the state has been completely surveyed and thousands of ribes uprotted. At present IS men are uprooting bushes in Fair field county. The work this last year afforded protection to more than 16,00O acres of pine.
 As soon as the white collar workers have completed their sur- .vey, the Experiment Station will urge that men be assigned to com plete the project by .uprooting ribes within injecting distance of pine stands.

he saw Ann at all, it was through a haze of preoccupation. He would speak to her politely, absently and then enlist the assistance of ans other librarian.
 Have you noticed the good- looking young man who comes in here every day?" Mildred Meador asked Ann one day.
 Ann said she had, though, she Hadn't noticed that he was par~ ticularly good-looking.

 Ann found, to her amazemeut, that she wanted to answer, Yes he told me about it." Instead sfe merely said, T read something about it in newspaper"
 No, of course, she wasn't the least interested in Tony Mickle, merely surprised that he had shift ed his interest so quickly. or course it was much better this way.

Ann stole a look at the bold stranger. Later, as afternoon shadows dimmed the room, the crowd gath cred about the tables thinned rapidly. Still the young man sat on.
 Occasionally he ran a hand over stopped reading to sketch on a pad.
 As closing time neared the room was occupied only by the young man, a spectacled woman and Ann. The woman glanced at her watch and arose to leave. The young man arose, too. Now he was coming to- ward Ann.
 Angel" he said softly, when did you fly down?" Ann's eyes widened in amaze ment. After an instant she met his blue eyes levelly, scorning to answer.
 "Oh," said the young man easi- Iy. T see made a mistake in the subject. Nice day, isn't it? Or do you prefer snow and galoshes ?"
