answer to her mystery might come in
his hands.
This was the most romantic discov-
ery he had ever made in his life.
The postman's character was IN
general moral, but he had one weak
ness-he read the post cards. He had
developed an eye for them, and when
he detected their presence he would
unostentattously shuttle all the letters
into position so that the back side OF
the post card was uppermost. Pos
sibly, like the man in the Bible, his
right eye did not know what his left
was doing.
Next morning he observed a post
card tightly packed with very fine
masculine script, addressed to Mrs.
| Margaret Davies.
"In Minneapolis for the day. Fine
town, fine hotel, terrible rain. Can
| feel rheumatism coming on. Com
| ing your town Friday. Call you up
Friday night. Take you out to din
ner. Been looking at sights. Rain
there aren't any. Saw Jack D. here;
married again. Nice looking girl too
fat for my taste. Devotion still in
status quo. Feel I've neglected you.
May I take you out to dinner? Ever,
VANCE"
The postman lifted his eyebrows
joyfully. Here! This was it. Per-
haps she would feel better now. And
he whistled more Loudly and cheer
fully than ever. How nicely 1t all
fitted in.
He could not, of course. be entirely
sure. He had only to wait and see if
he were right.
She was walking in the yard. as
usual, and as he approached she
turned and came back to meet him.
Taking the letters from him, she
went through them. stopping to read
the post card.
She looked up at him, smiling
stifly; there was tenseness in the air
as If she wished he would go away.
Turing down the walk, the post
man thought: That's right; he's
written" And he understandingly
left her alone. He was very glad,
though it had nothing at all to do
with him.
Margaret Davies stood there. very
quiet, glad that the postman had
gone, for she could not bear to look
casual Five words stood out on
Uncle Vance's careless. good-natured
card, as if they had been written in
different ink from the rest: Saw
Jack D. Married again"

FLYING

IF the wild Nicaraguan country
II was hard for the marines on the
ground, it was awe inspiring for the
Flying Corps which had to wing its
way over the jungles.
Not place in the world to land.
The prospect Of even jumping with
a parachute was enough 10 make a
mans blood run cold. Each take-off
from the airdrome at Marine head
quarters meant that the motor sim
ply had to keep going-or else!
Another bad angle for the Ma
rines was that their flying had to
be done right close to the tree tops
in order to detect what was going
on below.
Well, finally, SANDING and his
forces we're strong enough for a
showdown and two columns of Ma
rines, supported by planes in the
air. started on the way to the BAN
dts stronghold. Every suspicious
spot on the ground was searched
with machine gun fire from the
ships overhead.
Then, in the impossible little
stretch OF country, one Marine
group was cut of and headquarters

Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-The
clash between armed mobs of Ne
groes and Italians at Jersey City
Sunday over the Italo- Ethiopian dis
pute, has raised a spectre here of
alarming proportions.
Responsible circles fear that if
war breaks out in Africa, and fric-
ton in Europe deepens, clashes be-
tween opposing minorities in Amer
lea may embroil this country in
spite of its efforts to keep out.
At the Presidents request, Amer
lean neutrality measures are being
studied not only in the State De-
partment but on Capitol Hill. The
Administration aim is to lessen our
danger of being dragged into an
unwanted foreign war.

Approximately IA million OF this
country's population are foreign

foreign parents one or both of whom
were born abroad.

Sparse Furniture

The discussion of furniture
for a hall brings in the question
Of whether a person should
draw up a chair and sit down"
OF course you want chair or
two, for people who must wait
in the hall a few minutes
which does happen occasionally.
You also want a table, even if
it is a small one, with a tray for
cards, and possibly a drawer
with pencils and paper-and a
compact for your last hasty
touch Of powder before you go
out-but those are not essen
tialS. Pictures are all right, but
must be carefully chosen and
Sparingly used.
Most people consider a con-
sole table with mirror, and one
or two chairs all that is neceS-
sary for a hall. If it is a big
hall, or if it serves as both hall
and living room, of course none
of the rules given above apply.
