10 wears since she had been born this
was the first time that Wanda had
ever expressed concern over her ap-
pearance, as far as her mother could
remember.
Not that Wanda wasn't always neat
as a pin: she was. And beautiful
besides, strikingly beautiful. But the
frills and furbelows ordinarily dear
to the heart of a young girl had
never interested her. No Paris fashion
books, no cosmeticS-especially, no
boy friends. A true aScetic, like her
father had been.
Now, Mrs. Williams decided, some
thing was distinctly in the air, She
rose and walked to the trunk, glanc-
ing covertly at her daughter.
Wanda was standing before the tall,
upright mirror, tying brilliant Grim
son scarf about the waist of her severe
gray dress. Her brow was puckered, as
though expressing vague diSSatisfac-
tion with her reflection.
Faint surges of hope welled in Mrs.
Williams breast as she rummaged
through the trunk for one of her own
handkerchiefs. If this could only be
Wanda'S awakening to the fact that
she was young, feminine and beauti-
full
Finally Mrs. Williams Strengthened
up, a large white handkerchief In
her hand. "This?" she asked.
"Oh, mother, no! He-theyd think
I'd brought the bed sheet along!"
She turned back to the mirror, ad-
justing the unruly curlS at the nape
of her neck
Hep" Mrs. Williams repeated be-
wilderedly. Quickly she crossed, took
her daughters hand, and drew her to
a seating position on the long couch.
Now" she commanded sympatheti-
cally. Tell me all about it,
Wanda hesitated. 1T seems so
foolish"
From the stage outside came the
voice of Mr. Bahr, the genial Teutonic
music director of the tabernacle tent
services.
Lets turn to song No. "a! And
then you'll hear from the girl evangel-
ist."
Almost time for your sermon,
dear" Mrs. williams sighed.
Wanda arose quickly and began to
straighten herself. Then she paused,
hands falling to her sides as she looked
somewhat wildly at her mother.
Hes been here every night" she
blurted out. He always sits in the
third row, and he smiles at me all
the time, and he's handsome, and
good know he's good!"
Mrs. Williams gulped again.
But dear! Who is he? What
does he do? Does he live here? Have
you met him?"
Evening star., 1935-01-02

It was warm in the tent, and the
very fire of her TRADE against the
devil made the girls face glisten with
perspiration.
Again and again she brushed the
moisture from her eyes and pressed
it against her skirt, flushing with en-
barrassment as she felt the young
mans gaze upon her.
MY friends" she concluded, "the
devil misses no opportunity, and am
sure he is in this very tent to try
to make you misunderstood the work
we are doing :"
Next morning Mr.. Bahr came
bouncing as usual into the hotel
room occupied by Wanda and her
mother. He held out a package to
the girl and stood smiling as she
ripped it open.
"Hankies!" she exclaimed in delight.
"One, two, three-a dozen of them!
And such pretty oneS!" She tore
open the note concealed in the pack
age and as she read 1t thin, worried
line of doubt creased her forehead.
IT don't understand this" she
puzzled. Read it, Mr.. Bahr, and tell
us what it means"
Mr.. Bahr took the note gingerly
and read:
Precipitation is harmful to some
fabrics, but I hope it didn't hurt your
dress last night. I trust you will
enjoy these handkerchiefs as much
as I have your lectures. AS to who
was in the tent last night, I don't
know about the old boy himself, but
one of us was there, and he's going
to be in your tent every night from
now on"
The note was signed "A. Teufel"
Mr.. Bahr chuckled throatily. "Hah"
he said. "Hah!"
But what does it mean?" Mrs.
| Williams asked.
Mr.. Bahr chuckled again. 'These
handkerchiefs are from the son of
the local minister. Amos Teufel is
his name-nice young chap. He's
been in the congregation every night;
always sits in the third row. His
name" Mr.. Bahr guffawed, means
devil in German"
Wanda could feel the warm blood
burning in her cheeks. She walked
slowly over and studied herself in
the dresser mirror.
Mother" she said, Twill you come
with me while buy some new dresses?
I'm going to trap this devil in
different way"

Willacy And Irrigation

For years wilacy county has snvisioned a great
irrigation system
Twenty-Five and more years ago the gravity irriga-
ton proposal found some Of its strongest hackers in
Willacy county. men who saw the possibility Of the
county utilizing the overflow and excess waters Of
the Rio Grande to bring moisture to the fertile
acres Of Wilacy county.
AZ gravity irrigation gradually lost out in support,
tire idea of the utilization OF the flood waters Of the
Rio Grande as they came through the flood way
north OF Mercedes, placing them In storage and dis
~tributing as needed, gained supporters
Then the Wllacy County water Control and I'm
~provement district was formed and bonds voted.
The depression came on. and the bonds were not sold.
Through the W. the necessary funds were prom
ised. Internal dissension bid fair to wreck the dis
trct and its project.
But. headed by directors who place the welfare Of
the county above personal feelings. the project now
seems to be about to 60 through. Yielding to the de-
mands OF Secretary Ickes. the present board has
submitted its designations. New directors win be
named. The work will 60 on, and new prosperity
win come TO the county that annually produces the
first commercial onions in the Uaited States.
