CHAPTER XVII

Linda didn't mean to avoid seeing Pete. There was no reason why she should. On the other hand, she did- mt intend to look him up because there was plenty of reason why he should come to see her. They were still friends. It had been more than Q year since they had written to each other. And then, when his play had been . success, she had sent him Q telegram. She checked that with her secretary.
 Pete had been in Hollywood Q week, Gilda De Lyse had said. Surely in 6 week he could have rotten in touch with herl Perhaps success had gone to his head. In the days that followed 0retchen's party Linda had heard much more about Gardiner. Gilda hadn't exag- gerated when she said the girls were crazy about him. At least 10 of them asked her if she had seen him. That was enough to make any girl curious. She was very much annoyed that he hadn't called her. She was so annoyed that she found herself thinking of It, even when she was with Dix.
 She was lunching with Dix when she first saw him, and 1t was she who was embarrassed. Pete came directly to her table and held out his hand. Hello, Linda" he said, as though they had met the day before.
 'Yielio, Pete" she said. "You re- member Dix Carter don't you?"
 T don't think we've met" They hadn't, but of course he knew Dix's name, had heard Linda speak of him.
 "WIll you sit down2" she asked, hoping he wouldn't.
 He didn't; he was with. some others he had to get back to. Linda

WHILE scientists Tn other parts w of the world were con- templating a flight into the strato- sphere, in May. 1881, a typically absent Belgian professor of physics sealed himself with a companion in an aluminium gon- <lola and waited aloft to the rec- ord height of 5l,775 feet, nearly 10 miles. The man was Prof. Auguste piccard, tall, high-browed, bushy- haired, and nervous.
 It was the first time a human being had reached the realm be- yond the high atmospheric layer that encircles the earth. Since then several others, in Russia, Italy. and the United States, have made stratosphere flights by both balloon and airplane, but Piccard beat his former record when, in August, l032, he ascended to a height of 54,l20 feet, or more than

looked over her shoulder and saw Honey waiting for him. She couldn't resist saying, Come in to- morrow night, won't you2 I'm hav- ing some people I'd like you to meet" She gave him the address and then could have bitten her tongue out.
 The next night was the Sunday she had arranged 50 that Dix might meet Thornel She wanted all her wits about her, and now she had blundered into asking Pete Gardiner.
 She was distrait at dinner. The food, fortunately, was superb. Thorne liked good foods and good wine. Linda gave him both. She was careful not to speak of Dix, and careful not to let their con- versation approach the personal. And she was pathetically relieved when 10 o'clock came, and her other guests arrived. Dix was with them. He brought the pianist she had insisted upon to accompany him.
 Pete did not appear early and she was glad and relived. She didn't want to force Dix on Thorne's attention, 50 she waited until nearly midnight before she asked him to sing. Pete Gardiner, distinguished in his dinner jacket and as far apart from the others as he had thought her in those first days in Newtown, came in a few minutes before.
 Linda was truly glad to see him. She hadn't time then or freedom of thought to realize that he irked her and that the reason was that that something was different. That Pete treated her as though she were 8 stranger. Not as though he were in love with her, she would have said if she'd been honest with herself. But why should that mat ter when Dix's hour was here?
 She sat in the shadows, watching him, listening to him while he sang, watching Thorne's face-for the once, inexpensive. Dix was singing magniflcently. How could he help but be trnpressedp
 "Very nice party, Linda," Thorne said, bending over her hand and saying nothing at all about Dix. After that she bade each of her guests goodnight, and finally there was only Dix and Pete left.
 If Linda hadn't had job that occupied most of her waking time, she might have filled 1t to it's brim- ming edge thinking of the social problems presented by the three men in her life.
 Each of them took part of her time. There were the constant reminders of Basil Thorne. His telephone calls intruded on her
 time at home and at the office. His

K. OF (. TO ASSIST
 BOY SCOUT UNITS
Adopt Proposal to Present Flags to Newly Formed
 Catholic Troops

Plans whereby the Knights of Columbus of Waterbury may take an active interest in the establish ment of Boy Scout Troops in Water bury where discussed at last nights meeting of Sheridan Council, No. "A, at the Columbus Club, 70 North Main street. While the council is not proposing sponsorship of Q troop considerable sentiment was regis tered in favor of 8 proposal made by Grand Knight Cornelius F. Maloney,
 The proposal was that the Knights of Columbus present complete flag equipment to every new Catholic Boy Scout troop in the city at the time of presentation of the troop char ter. Following discussion of the same Grand Knight Maloney was empowered to take such action on the matter as he saw fit after an investigation of the possibilities.
 A class of seven candidates re- ceived the first degree ct last nights meeting with the degree officers of Sheridan Council participating in
 
 the exemplification.
 Sheridan Council will confer the second degree on 6 class of be- tween fifteen and twenty local cam didates, as well as candidates from several councils in the Naugatuck valley on Tuesday evening, February 4. Plans for this degree work were announced last night by District Deputy John F. Robinson. He stated that the third degree would be held on the following Sunday either in Waterbury, Naugatuck or one of the other towns of the eighth district, which have candidates for the major degree.
 There was Q brief discussion of coming plans of the council, such as the Golden Jubilee Catholic Action banquet of late February; the boy leadership two-day course earlier in that month.

The $lO,00O suit brought in s,is perior court by George Lallbe, JEw acting as administrator of the ess tate of Henry Dodge against James Domareck, was withdrawn today after settlement had been re@ ported. The suit was based on aA auto-motorcycle collision on South Main street, June IA, 1885, in which Dodge was killed.
 Arraigned yesterday in superior court, Domareck was given Q T1olle on Q charge of automobile homicidn. when the states attoney's office afl~ nounced that evidence against Domareck was not conclusive.

Jannetty Protests Word Ethiopian

Possibly because his sym- pathies are with the opposition. Peter Jannetty, tailor, of 792 Highland avenue, does not like Ethiopia. In consequence he objects strenuously, he said in city court today, when he is called an 'Ethiopian."
 MT. Jannetty, In his own de- Hense, countered with the charge that he had been 50 labelled by Patrolman Walter Hayes when arrested yesterday on . breach of peace charge, the outgrowth of 8 dispute which arose when the police officer told him his sidewalk must be cleaned.
 Jannetty told Judge Edward Mascolo the officer had "de. manded" that the sidewalk be cleaned immediately.
 Officer Hayes said that his request had been couched in civil language. He denied call- ing Jannetty an Ethiopian. All the questionable language, he said, had been used by Jam netty, and he eventually had to put i'm . call for the wagon"
 Judge Mascol0 continued the case for 90 days, advising Jan- netty to keep his sidewalk clean In the future.
