that she had asked John to kiss her

you had Libby cracked up in your
mipd?"
Betsy's eyes flew wide open. Her
lashes winked quickly. She stared at
Marshall uncomprehendingly at first.
A debut? She, Betsy Seymour, to
make a formal debut with Libby
Stockton? "Marshalll That's-why,
that's insane! wouldn't think of it!
I'd-why, I'd be the laughing stock
of Washington. and you know it,!
People would talk and make wise
cracks. II couldn't go through
with it!" e
Marshall thrust his hands in his
pockets. He became didactic. He
growled out, "It doesn't mean any,
thing to you, suppose, that I want
you to meet formally all of my friends?
1t doesn't mean anything to you that
this is chance OF lifetime? The
Stockton's background is as solid as
the Rock of Gibraltar. and If Mrs.
Stockton presents you with her own
daughter people wouldn't dare open
their mouths. A Stockton can't do
anything wrong. You know that! You
know how they rate around here.
Betsy. why the devil can't you see what
I'm driving at?'
Betsy made a vague, helpless ges-
ture with her hands. why would
Libby do all this for me-for us?
I don't belive she's that kind. /"
But when she saw Marshall tossing his
head in disgust, she added. Does
does it mean that much to you, Mar
shall? Does it?"
He nodded slowly.
Betsy had always know that Mar
shall was wildly enthusiastically
and financially. At times it had wor-
ried her because she had so little to
offer him. though 1t had not made any
real difference in her love for him.
The thought of a debut trailed
heavily across her mind, accompanied

1t was ridiculous. unthinkable, pre-

Marshall! I couldn't! It's
just too fantastic! I would be mis-
cradle and afraid every second!"
He had drawn closer to her. She
could feel his breathing on her cheek,
soft and sweet, weakening her re-
sistance. Could she agree to this joint
debut with Libby? But If she didn't
Marshall might get very angry. He
might go away from her altogether.
The very thought made her heart
move as if in anguish. Shed rather
die than face that, she'd rather make
a hundred debuts. " = I'm little
fool" she scolded herself. miserably.
Marshall is doing this for me -
for us. He loves me loves me.

acting as If he had asked me to stick
my head under a guillotine!"
You're not going to let any crazy
notion about Libby and me ruin our
lives, are you, Betsy? love you. love

Why. there are more big deals and

There was long pause. Betsy

For one instant Betsy sat at the
table torn by conflicting emotions.
Last night she had stayed awake a
long while, worrying over Terry, over
Marshall, listening to John moving
about in his room. Every time John
had taken a step she had writhed
with humiliation because she had
asked him to kiss her because
there had been something low and
hideous in her to make her like Johns
kiss when Marshall owned her heart.
Yet when Marshall knocked on the
door and she went out on the stoop
into the wistful gray of the damp
morning where he stood, his soft
brown eyes loving her, his gay young
smile working its old magic on her,
she realized the futility of lying awake
in the dark and arranging her life
tntelligently and tidily. Now, with a
look, with a smile, she was becoming
ductile in his hands. She fought
desperately, with everything she had,
against that magic, for she knew that
once she allowed herself to give in
she would be lost.

what I want to knoW!"
Betsy commenced to tell him, but

METAL MARKETS

NEW YORK, June 8 S).-Euro-
pean copper prices continued their grad
ual decline today, easing off to about
$50 cents a pound CIF base ports as
compared with $50 to 100 cents late
yesterday and a slightly higher quota
ton earlier in the day. Sales were COM
paratively light.
In the domestic market sales were
dull after slight improvement on Thurs
day and yesterday, rejecting the dull
ness, weekend inactivity as much as
the basic uncertainty existing. The price
continued unchanged at cents pound
delivered to the end Of September.
An important meeting of copper lead.
ers has been called for Tuesday, at
which buying agreements. which under
the code called for sales of $4,000 tons
monthly, will be discussed.
President Roosevelt's declaration that
price fixing will not be permitted while
the antitrust laws are in operation Is,
of course, something of blow to cop
per. However, some sources are suggest
ing that technical evasion such as eX-
listed under the NRA might be permits
sible. At that time the fixing OF sales
quotas and production arrangements, as
we'll as the threat of the Government
not to use any copper for Government
contracts by a manufacturer who sold
under the Blue Eagle price, was ample
in sustaining the Scent level. The House
is still considering the bill to make
copper a natural resource industrO and
therefore exempt from antitrust laws.
Lead sales were in good volume today
with the price ranging from 3S5 to 3.95
cents a pound East St. Louis and to
40 cents New York. Total stocks at
the end of April were SIS PSI against
31O.36 tons the month before.
Zinc demand continued dull with the
price steady at 4.3O cents a pound. May
zinc figures indicate reduction of $500
tons in stocks of prime Western although
higher grades gained.

COTTON GOODS

cotton goods market in the past week
revived slowly from the paralysis when
set in upon abandonment of the NRA
codes. Extremely quiet markets early
in the period, accelerated later to a
moderate if somewhat spotty trading
While no important business went
through, tendency on Friday to book
future deliveries was considered encout-
againg since such business as had been
transacted previously was for imme-
ness of buyers to risk a decline in
prices. The price feature of the market
was the most interesting. Despite the
precipitate decline in raw prices, goods
were quoted unchanged. at first due to
lack of sales anyhow and thereafter
because of gradual revival of raws
set in. Announced intentions Of mill
groups TO maintain wages and hours
indicated that costs would hold un-

NEW YORK, June 8 G.NS0.
The cotton m arket spurted
sharply again toward the close,
manifesting further strength on
good short covering and Wall
street buying as fears on the
crop loan subsidized and the drive
in Congress to push silver prices
high was renewed.
In addition to Wall Street and
short covering trade purchases
and Liverpool were also buyers,
concentrating mainly in the O.

profit taking, came in from the
