her for q time-that was before ne
met the wealthy Clara Barnes and
married her.
Nancy had been terribly hurt; she
had cared so much for him. OF course
Tommy had asked her many, many
times to marry him, but she refused.
She had loved Jacques. but Tommy
well that would be just like marrying
her brother.
Nancy had left her home in the
city and bought this little place down
here amid the Southern pines. There
was. she thought sadly. no one that
needed her, except Mandy Lou. her
old Negro nanny who had taken care
of her ever since Nancy had been a
tiny baby. Mandy Lou had come with
her.
Mandy Lou liked Tommy. She had
never liked Jacques; she had been
secretly relieved and glad when
Jacques had married some one other
than her little honey chile"
Now Nancy's friends were coming
10 visit her for the first time. Nancy
was determined to prove to her friends
} that she was happy in her now home
they had disapproved SO violently when
she had gone South to live.
You can't run away from your
thoughts" they had told her. why
not stay here and forget Jacques?"
But Nancy had felt an urge for new
surroundings, far away from the dis
turbing scenes Of her Inflated love
affair.
Then a new worry had been added
to her troubles. A letter from Tommy
had come only that morning, reaSsert-
ing his devotion and asking when he
could come for visit. Nancy sighed
as she folded the letter back into its
envelope. Perhaps she should have
invited Tommy. too. but she couldn't
bear to have him feel that he owed
her sympathy just because OF their
long friendship. And it was too late
to invite him now. anyway.
Out in the kitchen Mandy Lou was
making plans of her own to assure
the success of the party. plans that
caused grave misgivings to her wizened
old husband, Joe.
What right you got messin' with
Miss Nancy's affairs?" Joe was asking.
Mandy Lou snorted. Now you just
hush you mouth" she ordered. and
do that errand like I ask you, right
now" she repeated as Nancy came into
the room.
Mandy Lou, is everything ready?"
the girl asked.

approved. II don't know what I'd do

dress to be ready to receive her guests.
A few minutes later she heard the
telephone downstairs ringing, heard
Mandy Lou answer it.
Nancy couldn't hear the converse

thankful-but she came out to the

NO SPECIAL SESSION OF
STATE IE&1ISIATURE

There will be no special session
or the Legislature this winter. This
despite a desperate effort being
made to drum reasons for conven
ing the members here for another
say junket at the expense of taxpay
ers. Lieu. Gov. Victor A. Meyers
has been the duTm major in these
efforts.
1t is easy to figure out just why
this sudden demand for a sixty day
session sprung up AS the state we'll
knows, virtually all of those mem
bers of the Legislature who are now
asserting that special session is
necessary are now, or have been,
unemployed.
The state also knows that if the
national administration follows out
its off repeated program on Dec. 1,
those who have been receiving re
lief mus either work or staTve. AT
ter December 1 all on the relief
rolls able to work must work. This
is blow to rather large number
of legislators from the more popu
lated centers of the state. Faced by
the alternative of going to work Or
starving they much prefer their SIS
day as legislators than work.

Members of the order were omni

to remind those interested that

lead the way to a secluded corner
in the northeast end of the hall.
The dance, presided over by Rufus

early days, attracted it's share of
the crowd and was contributing
