Dana said, Paula said you had luncheon with her yesterday"
 "Yes. Mrs. Marston, a friend of hers, called me in. suspected Paula recommended me to her."
 And then you went to Paula's for luncheon"
 That's right. That girl has the most tenacious memory. She re- membered it was my birthday and when I came out she was all ready with dozen arguments why l should come in. Did tell you they are on the same floor? Paula and Mrs. Martson."
 "No," Dana replied. "But Paula did"
 For the first time Scott sensed a current in the calm. He shot a look at Dana, who was busy wip- ing the already spotless front of the enameled stove.
 "You didn't mind my having luncheon with Paula did you?' Scott asked in arnazement.
 "No. Only wish you had told me about 1t before Paula did," she said.
 There goes my old ball and chain," Scott jeered. Dana flushed. She had sounded stuffy. T really didn't mind youl having luncheon at Paula's, Il think" Dana went on, "but it was having her tell it at the party, as though she had achieved some. thing"
 Scott laughed. That's like old Paula. What do you mean, you think you wouldn't mind?"
 I'm just trying to be honest about it." Dana answered. "I'm not sure I wouldn't mind if you made a practice of it. I'm afraid I would, Scott. I'm only human" "Only a woman, you mean"
 Wouldn't you mind if I lunched with Ronnie?"
 Mot in the least if there were a reason for it."
 q suppose there would be as much reason as for you to lunch with Paula"
 And then Dana regretted her im- pulsive words.
 Scott said slowly, "Well, for one reason" and then stopped.
 Dana asked, her clear eyes CT his, What reason?"
 Scott hesitated. A man didn't disclose professional secrets - or shouldn't - even to his wife. After all, it was only an ugly suspicion that he had about Paula. He couldn't tell Dana he had accepted her invitation, hoping to find out something that would help him put his finger on her trouble. It wouldn't be decent to poison Dana's mind about her.
 "Oh, nothing" he said, carelessly
 Dana did not pursue the subject But a shadow, no bigger than a woman's hand, lay between them.

The other Tinies were outside. well, let's get going" Dotty cried. Here comes fat Santa with the sleigh. Just see the old man grin.
 'He knows that, right now, he is set to take a ride, and I'll just bet he'll sail away as soon as all the fine toys are packed in."
 "Of course will," said Santa. Gee, you've been lot of help to me- Now, when you start, be sure that everything is safely packed.
 Some of the dolls will break with ease, so all of you be careful, please. I wouldn't want some girl to get doll whose face is cracked"
 AS Jack Frost took the sleigh around, fine gifts were packed in safe and sound. Brave Coppy shouted, Leave place for Santa Claus to sit"
 "Oh, don't mind me-" ol Santa cried. There's nothing that will spoil my ride. Why, even if I have to stand, I will not mind a bit" Copyright 1895, NEA Service, Incl
 Santa Claus sails away in the next st0ry.)
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-12-23

Old Jack Frost said, Well, Cop py, you have done all that I wish ed you to- All of the autos that you've wound have run around just right.
 Now we, I guess, can safely say they'll be just fine on Christmas day. Just think of all the tots that they will fill full of delight"
 Why, sure" said Coppy. That's why I was glad to come up here and try to help old Santa till he'd strengthened out all of his toys.
 T know that they'll spread heaps of cheer, cause they have done it every year. It's always fun to do things for the real good girls and boys"
 Just then wee Scouty rushed in and he shouted, Come, lad, lend a hand. We're going to pack kind Santas sleigh. There's much work to be done.
 "We1l load the sleigh way to the top with toys from every little shop. It will not take us long, and 1t will be 8 lot of fun"

Local Man Injured
In Auto Accident
Was Passenger in Car Which
Struck Ralph Little, Grain
Dealer of Minneapolis

Russell Shulze, of this city, was
slightly injured early Friday
morning while riding in a car with
A. A. Swan, of the King Cole Ho-
tel, who was staying at Breezy
Point Lodge, says the Minneapolis
journal. Mr.. Shulze received a
cut on the forehead, and since the
accident has been in this city with
his family.
In this accident, which according
to report, was not the fault of Mr..
Swan, Ralph Little, well known in
the Minneapolis grain business for
many years, was killed. Mr.. Little
was riding with his wife and Mr..
and Mrs. Carl Coleman, also of
Minneapolis, when his car struck
a guard rail on highway 81, near
Nisswa, MINI. He stopped the car
on a slight grade and got out to
observe the damage. His car
started rolling backward to the
other side Of the highway. Mr..
Little was walking to his car, when
the other auto came over the rise
and hit him. Mr.. Little suffered
a fractured skull, a fractured right
leg and broken hip. He
died enroute to a hospital at
Brainerd.
According to information from
Brainerd, Coroner D. E. Whitney
said he did not believe an inquest
would be conducted since Mr..
Swan appeared to have been driv-
ing at a moderate rate of speed.

Plan For Cash.
Advance on Rye
AAA VIII Announce Program
Within Week.-Wil Take
Action Before July Is

In a letter dated June oath, Con-
gresham Harold Knutson stated
that he Just returned from a long
conference with Mr.. Chester Dav-
is, Administrator Of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration,
when they went over the prospec-
tive rye crop which promises to be
unusually large. He pointed out to
him the spread between wheat and
rye prices and he agreed that If
something Is not done for rye 1t
may upset the whole grain market.
The AAlA is going to try to work
out a program whereby they can
make cash advance on the new
crop Of rye 50 as to prevent dump
ing and unduly depressing the
market. He is hopeful that they
will be able to announce a program
with the next week or so
that will hold up the price,
prevent dumping and at the same
time give the grower substantial
cash advance on the crop so as to
enable him to hold It until market
conditions are more favorable.
They realize the emergency and
that action, to be helpful, must be
taken before July 18th.
