year.

erintendent OF schools discussed

school expenditures for the state
over those of 1930-31 shows a fav-
orable comparison with the nine
per cent decrease shown by other
state departments.

speaker and which are to come be-
fore the legislature was that Tor
unification of school districts. 9th
er matters discussed included those
of insurance adjustment, opposition

ings, possible repeal of the regula-
tion that school expenditures may
be increased only five per cent over

 Irony, would you? It would De perfect. I'll take the pearls off in the rest room. No one will know"
 No one could have known wheth- CT Lita wore pearls as she walked out swathed fin her mink coat. No one could have seen her hand small package to Tony as her car stopped near his dingy studio.
 My love-" breathed Tony. as he held Lita close for a moment be- fore he jumped out of the car.
 All the way home Lita's thoughts were wretched, disturbing. John had always been such a decent fel- low, so willing to indulge her smallest whim. Too bad he was so dull. She had never had romance. Too young to know when she mar ried John what real love was Shf had a right to this one chance.g
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-23
By FRANCES KLooCK

"These pearls are exquisite pink, lustrous."
 Tony's tapered and manicured Metropolitan grill. His fingers toyed with the long string of pearls hanging around the neck of Lita, were an oddly dissimilar pair, yet polished, groomed a little too we'll; trife tired around the eyes. Tony dropped the pearls. looked at her. ; "You know how feel about you, Lita. don't have to tell you. But l couldn't take you away from all you have-your beautiful home, cars, position. You'd be wretched as the wife of a poor man."
 Lita Rowan's mind speculated on the man across the table, this man with whom she had had such gay times over the past weeks. She thought of other luncheons, first nights. supper dances, rides home in her car. Always her car. Life with Tony would be exciting, glam- orouS.
 
 Life was definitely not exciting with her husband. John Rowan looked exactly like the kind of per- son he was. Kind-too kind-un- romantic. Forever talking about the price of lard and foreign exchange. The thought of lard and the thought of John became synony- nous in her mind. What if she were ten years older than Tony. Tony loved her as a woman should be loved. He was speaking.
 of only I had the money to take you away from all this-all this stiffness that Is choking you"
 How many women had heard these words! But they seemed new and startling to Lita. Was she really being choked? She lifted her fingers to her throat, as though symbolically. Touched the pearls. Suddenly her eyes narrowed.
 They're insured for $25,000-if should lose them. .''
 Lita did not notice the some- thing in Tony's eyes; it was not good to see. She didn't see his hand tremble slightly as he opened his cigarette case. He said noth- ing. She continued:
 I've could live forever on $25,- 900 in Taormina."
 But Lita."
 Don't be a silly boy, Tony. Let's drink a toast to Taormina."
 So they drank the toast in Lieb- fraumilch 1921. They drank to the plays which Lita would inspire and Tony write. To warm sunny days on the beach. To star-lit nights. To the blue Mediterranean.
 'Lita, you wonderful girl--"
 Ut thrilled Lita to hear Tony
