ter a Two weeks vacation spent
touring and visiting relatives and
friends in the southern part of the
United States. Several days were
spent in Alabama, Horizons home
state which he had not visited for
90 years.
Horton states that business con-
ditionS have improved throughout
the south but indications were that
the depression was felt more in that
territory than in California. Stores
and merchandising methods are not
as adSanced as in the west but
building methods are more progress
sive and he found practically all
stores in the larger cities, such as
New Orleans, equipped with air
conditioning systems.

time as you can to telling us how
to make our work better
WPA Director Talks
Ralph 3. Smith, newly appoint
ed director OF the Works Progress
Administration in the counties of
Imperial. san Bernardino and Riv-
erside was also introduced by Ster-
retJ. Smith for the last year and
half has been connected with the
works division of the Los Angeles
SERA and is an engineer Of note.
The WPA is set up as one of
the many agencies Of the federal
government to carry forward the
expenditure of the four billion dol
lar work relief fund Smith stat
ed. The unemployed on relief rolls
who have registered prior to May,
he explained, will be the first to be
put to work on WPA projects, and
then those who have subsequently
registered. Under this arrange
ment, the National Reemployment
Office will supply workers for the
various government projects under
way and such projects that will
provide for employment of the lar
geSt number of men and women
will be approved.
Following the address, Chamber
of Commerce directors met in exc
cutive session and adopted by
unanimous vote, a resolution to be
sent to government officials in
charge of the Federal Emergency
Transient Camp asking that the
camp now maintained in El Cen
tro be allowed to continue opera
ton and that the existing order to
abolish this branch office in FL
Centre be rescinded. This order. it
was believed by chamber directors.
came as a result of the falling off
in number of the transientS using
the El Centre camp this month
due to climatic conditions. With
the reopening of the tourist sea-
son, it was stated, the number OF
transients would resume its former
proportions and without the help
of the transient camp, FL Centre
and Imperial Valley merchants
would again be forced TO bear the
burden of supporting these men,
women and families who were not
eligible for SERA relief.
A similar telegram protesting the
closing of the transient camp has
been sent by the El Centre city
council.

It was the same gown she had
been photographed in that morn
ing for the Sunday rotograVure
copy. The idea had been Lewis's
:. he had said Its clever adver-
tising. having you model your
own gowns. And it's swell pub
lcity."
He had said he would make her
one of the most-talked-about
young designers in America and
he was doing it. Each Sunday the
Times and Herald Tribune were
going to run a full.page advertise
ment. ."Tracy's wishes to pre-
sent Ann Brooks, foremost young
American dress designer in one
of her own gowns, designed
especially for U.S."
That was the way it was done.
AS easily as that. The silver gown
was called "Sophisticate." -.
She slid into it carefully now,
smoothed it swiftly over her slim
hips; and watching her, you were
o little aghast, a little aStonished
at what it did to her.
She looked so much taller, so
much simmer, so deliberately
sleek and shining and seductive.
So little like a small girl who had
been won't to wear gray wool
dresses with red patent leather
belts. Even those frail, dark bangs
falling gently over her eyes no
longer looked casual and childish
=. they looked softly, thoughtfully
provocative, instead.
Watching her, as she walked
back across the room to the dress
ing table, you guessed that the
tips of her ears were touched with
perfume. that the lids of her
Smoke-gray eyes were touched
with green eye-shadow; and you
saw that her fingernails were
tinted a deep blood-red and that
her heels were at least four inches
tall and slender as church steeples.
Lifting Lewis's orchids carefully
from their cotton wool, her fingers
paused for moment and she re-
garded them strangely. and you
knew that she was remembering
that Kipp had once told her she
should always wear orchids.
He had said, a tender finger
beneath her chin, his eyes dancing
blackly: "You should always wear
orchids, darling, and your hair
e1anl- onI |;Ja in 1iyoo 0IJciIooe T,,oo
sure you have that kind of a
soul. -"
Her fingers moved again. she
fastened the orchids deftly to her
shoulder.
She would not allow herself to
think about Kipp. She would
think about Lewis. It was so much
safer thinking about Lewis.
He would come presently and
take her to some new, amusing
place to dine.
He would order food she would
make a pretense of eating and
cocktails which she would not
even pretend to drink; and he
would talk to her about how i'm
portant he could make her if she
would be good girl and let him
manage things for her He would
say: "You will discover, Ann, as
I have, that in the end nothing is
so important to your happiness as
your career everything else is
incidental =" She knew that by
Everything" he probably meant
her marriage.
CHAPTER 81
He had mentioned her marriage
to her just once. that had been
about a week after Kipp sailed.
They had been having lunch to-
gether at Mario's.
