vgnAT HAs HAPPENED BEFORE

After the death of her parents, lovely DANA WESTBROOK comes from abroad to make her home with the grandmother, MRS. WILLARD CAMERON.
 Danass half-sister, NANCY WALLACE, resents Dana's conn lnb.
 Dana's grandmother is elated when rich RONALD MOORE falls in love with her grandmother. Dana, meanwhile, has become at tracted to DIR. SCOTT STANLEY e struggling young physician.
 Nancy, who makes her love for Ronald behind an antagOnistic attitude, unhappily watches his love for Dana deepen. Just as nnxiousIy, PAULA LONG watches Scott StanIey's interest in Dana Increase.
 Dana and Scott, swept away by their love for each other, recklessIy decide to marry. Mrs. Cameron gloomiIy predicts that the marriage will not last. Paula is torn by an emotional storm over the news that Scott and Dana have married.

the words, singing themselves aloud.

 aloud.
 That night Dana said to Scott: T went shopping and Ronnie brought me home."
 "That was nice," Scott said. He was standing by @ window, looking out. Dana thought his face seemed sober, troubled. His voice had sounded grim, too.
 "You don't mind, do you?" Her voice faltered little.
 Scott wheeled from the window. Great heavens, mol" He laughed.
 "But you look worried!"
 q am worried" Scott admitted. "It's Mrs. Wilkins. One of the prettiest, cleanest operations I ever performed. And now something's happened and the incision must be re-opened. There's no accounting for things like that"
 "Who is Mrs. Wilkins?"
 Mrs. wilkins is a very impor- tant person to you and to me. My first surgical in this town. It would mean something to have trouble set in." He added, "Then to, she's a nice old lady"
 Dana felt an impulse to laugh. She had been so conscientious, nerving herself to tell Scott about that accidental meeting with Ron- nie. And he hadn't even been in- terested. It was hard to decide which was worse - jealous hus- band or a husband who wasn't even mildly jealous.
 Packages began to arrive next day. Soon the small apartment was overflowing with boxes, as Scott's friends and friends of the Cameron family sent good wishes in the time-honored way - in the form of packages from jewelry stores and gift shops.
 Dana found it an exciting pas time, opening the packages with Scott. Despite his teasing, she staunchly refused to unite 8 single ribbon alone.
 Tt wouldn't be any fun without you," she said.
 They already had faced the per- picking problem of where to put these gifts in their limited quar- ters. "Goshl" Scott exclaimed, If this keeps up, we'll need a house. Maybe I made mistake giving up the old place"
 "We'll find places," said resource full Dana. And you didn't make a mistake. Think how nice it will be this winter without a furnace to bother with"
 Never, never would she let Scott know of the first, deep disap- pointment she had felt when he had brought her to this home.
 "This," said Dana, her arms lifted high to Scott who was stand ing on chair, packing wedding gifts on high shelf, lis the pen- alty for marrying such a good-look- ing and popular doctor"
 Paula's present, which Dana called Light from the East" was one of those that was not packed out of sight. It looked very grand, and oddly out of place, in the mod- est aparament.
 Paula had dropped in the day before and then dashed home for beautiful Oriental tapestry and two gorgeous vases. T have no earthly use for them since they don't match the scheme of my place." she said. "So please use them, Dana"

Silk "Aresn Old Xiolina

New violins are being aged artl-
ficially In Germany by lining the in
sides with silk. says Popular Me-
chancs. The tone quality of old
violIns Is we'll known and this has
been attributed to many causes.
among them belief that the Oil
violin makers used some sort OF
secret yarnish which affected the
wood and the tone produced
A German inventor decided that
the harsher tones Of new violin
are due to the resins In the sounding
board, and that as the instrument
grows older or after 1t has been
played and the sounding board has
yibrated for years. the resins grad
ually settle to the lower part OF this
top piece, uniting with the fbers Of
the wood and joining the tree rings
until the vibration Of the entire
sounding board becomes uniform.
To hasten the process Of aging this
inventor lines the inner side of the
sounding board with thin six skin,
producing a tone quality like that OF
