SNOW GREETS
QUINTS,2YRS..
OLD TODAY
BY GRACE TROY


CORBEn, Ontario, May 28
U.NS0.-Occasional snow flurries
and a bitter, gray cold day greeted
the Dionne quintuplets today ON
the occasion Of their second birth
day anniversary.
But, as though aware Of the ad-
vent of their natal anniversary,
the five cherubS awakened smiling
and insistent on getting out on
the veranda Of their hospital
home.
Breakfasted and attired in corn
flower blue crepe dresses, sock
cites and tiny white shoes. they
trooped around Nurse Noel to lead
them out the door.
Marie Impatient
Marie, the littlest one, was quite
impatient. She climbed on q chair
and began banging q window
Justify with her chubby fist. all
the while screeching her eagerness
to get outdoors. She didn't have
long to wait for Nurse Noel
promptly bundled her into a warm
green coat, leggingS and q white
beret.
Out Of doors she went followed
closely by Emile, but Marie
promptly stumbled and took Q
tumble. UnabaShed, she rose
quickly, took q few more steps and
tumbled again. Emile Shrieked
encouragingly as Marie again rose,
Rugged her teddy bear close to her
and wandered off to find o good
place to sit down.
After Emile came Annette, then
Cecille and Yvonne. Their faces
glowing and bright with health,
each wore the warm colonial coat
Of pastel green, leggingS and the
white beret perched on top Of their
soft brown curlS. Yvonne proudly
bore q large, brightly colored rub
ber ball almost too big for her
little arms.
Parents at Mass
Meanwhile, in the Catholic
Church at Callander, Mr.. and
Mrs. Dionne kneeled unpreten-
tiously in a rear pew at special
hioh mass celebrated by the Rev.
E. Bunyan. With the famous par.
ents were their three older chill
dren, Ernest, Rose and ThereSe,
and five relatives.
Five vigil lights glowed before
q framed picture Of the quintup-
lets on a flower-decked table just
outside the altar rail.
More Prayers for QuintS
Another mass was celebrated
for the quintuplets at the Church
of, the Sacred Heart here. This
one, attended by many Of thu
folk from the surrounding ccun'
tryside who left thier farm
chores, was offered by Father
McNally at the request Of the
quintupletS' guardians. But, un'
like the first birthday mass, none
Of the guardians attended.
After the mass at the Callander
church, Olivia Dione returned to
his farm and busted himself seed
ing his Is acres Of land. His wife,
Elzire, retired to the SecluSion Of
her home, while the three older
children went behind the house to
play. They did not go to school
today.

CHAPTER XII

Ted talked on, presenting his views on what he called "this mar Tiage business" He said, You've got to plan for marriage just as we planned, years and years, for the trans-Paciflc flight. None of this heady, romantic stuff You've got to build, stone on stone, to achieve something that will endure without mishap."
 Kay could not quite accept all this. She did not agree that all humen relationships could be or ganized on such a basis, but she did not give these sentiments voice.
 It was the most unromantic pro- posal of which she had ever heard. s And this was Kay Dunn, who had wanted the man-of- f-her-heart to sweep her off her feet and say, Kay, adore you. I can't live without you!"
 But when Ted had finished talk ing he sat there, waiting for her answer.
 She simply gazed at his eyes and saw what she wanted to see. The touch of his hand was reas- suring. His kiss, when she said, "Yes," welded her heart and mind. She knew, by all the signs wo- man understands, that she was in love with Ted.
 But, even as she accepted him, she felt again the fear that had tormented her before. Was Ted asking her to marry him merely to make a home for Dickie? Her mtnd-but not her lips-asked the question, Are you sure you love me or do you simply want we'll ordered life, a life like the charted course of the Flying Mariner?"
 She did not say these things to Ted, because shek new that they would hurt. At the moment she could not doubt his sincerity.
 T do love you dearly" he re- peated. five known it = for ever so long. There was a time when fought against it. didn't think it was fair to you"

THE STORY so FAR

KAY DUNN, pretty young nurse is hired as a stewardess on Over land Airways and, the same day, meets TED GRAHAM, veteran pilot who flies the trans-Pacific route.
 Kay is assigned to the western division of the service. MONTE BLAINE, apprentice pilot, pays her marked attentions. Monte is daring, romantic, but Kay is more interested in Ted. She and DICKIE, Ted's adopted 7-year-Old son, become close friends.
 Ted returns from a trip to the Orient and takes Kay to dinner. Later they have 8 long talk. Then Ted asks Kay to marry him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

 He smiled. Tt was losing bat. tie all the while. Those eyes, that hair"
 They both laughed, and h. kissed her gently again.
 They sct there, looking ou across the hglltS of the bay, eacl of them with the same thoughts planning their future. For a lons while neither spoke.
 Until death do us part" Kay murmured blssfully.
 And those are big words," Tec said, in his matter -of-fact way wen have to get down to thu business end of it. First, youI have to give up your job, o. course. Being the wife of TeG Graham, with a child going on 8 is a job big enough for a girl lik' you"
 Kay sat up, bit disturbed. Sht hadn't thought about leaving th' air service. But of course Tec was right. The Overland line hac rules against employing hosteSse: who were married.
 Well, there were plenty of girl! who would be glad to have hel job. Besides - the thought came back to her too frequently-thert had to be home for Dickie.
 "Dickie adores you" Ted said "Therell bs no trouble on that score"
 And I adore him." she sait slowly. ,..
 Hell be happier living at home on the beach. I think we ought tc send him to day school, and lei him be with you as much as pos sible. I'm away for six week; sometimes"
 She smiled. That's the penalty for being the wife of 8 pilot or the trans-Pacif1c flight" she said
 "Just a sailors wife!" he told her, but when he squeezed heI hand she felt sure of herself and of him.
 Rays complete confidence in Ted grew as they planned together. for the future. Do you like this house? he asked. of course I'm quie used to it. It's like-my pipe"
 q adore every corner in it. Kay said. "I'll love this room more than any other because-you asked me to marry you here"
 "Of course" he said, smiling, "Jerry will have to take up bache- Tor headquarters elsewherel"
 T should hope sol" she said T wouldn't want him to be forever reminding you of the state Of single-blessedness. You bachelors can be a cose! You think you're free, and you're not"
 Ted laughed. Poor Jerry. I've known him since the war. He was bomber. I suppose-I SUD- pose he'll be stepping of now, too He always said, joking, I'll never marry as long as the boss doesn't'.'
 "But we'll invite him to dinner --lotsH she said, Show him what he's missing in overlooking we'd ded bliss!"
 Like fun we will" Ted said. "I watn you all to myself. I'm selfish that way"
 That's a lovely sentiment" Kay said. 'It makes me feel = safer. You - in all those foreign ports most of the timel Those South Sea sirens"
 He said, prosaicly: They're not all they're supposed to be, I can assure you. I've seen them all in my day"
 Mot all, dear!" she corrected.
 Suddenly Ted slapped his thigh. What will we do with Sato?"
 The words gave Kay another twinge of fear. Wasn't I'd even go- going to let her run the house? He was so capable and efficient, such an S,.1,o xr,ac 11a ontvHn fO tokn AUnr

Stamp News
 By l. 5. Klein

RTfzE Spanish civil war has A brought or new interest in stamps of that country, especially those that are issued by both sides during the fighting. Per- haps the first of these new varie- ties comes from the island of Ma liorca, which was seized by the rebels early in the fighting. The stamps are of the regular Span- fish issue, in two values, with a crude overprint reading "Viva lEspana- -Mallorca l9 Julio, l936." They were designed for use on the island only.
 The sheet of 25 stamps, of the cne-cent value, printed in con- inection with the Chicago Worlds Fair, has been withdrawn from sale, and now all that remains of the imperforate stamps is the fhree-cent value of the same issue. This also is printed in sheets of 20.
 
 France has issued two-value sat of airmail stamps commem- lcrating the tooth postal flight across the South Atlantic. The design of the 10-franc stamp is shown above. The other value is HE francs.
 Congress may be asked soon to authorize the issue of new terri torial stamps. for Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

management of the kitchen, as well as everything else?
 But she laughed as she an- swered, "So we've come to the kitchen now. In a well-ordered household it's as important as anything else, I suppose. It's only after men have been fed that they can be romantic"
 Ted laughed, aware that she was poking fun at him. He enjoyed the give-and-take of this conver- sation. He had, almost forgotten, since his first marital happiness 15 years before, that such relation ships existed. With him, since that time, it had been all giving.
 T should think" Kay went on "that it would be good idea tc keep Sato as house-boy to dc all the atrocious things = like washing dishes. I'd infinitely pre- fer to do the cooking myself. don't relish the thought of coming home to her Sato say: Dinner leady. Pork and beans. Coffee fresh, made only dave before yes terday'."
 T would hate to lose him." Ted said, laughing. After all he's been with me 10 years"
 Kay had the unhappy thought that Ted owned so much in life that he had acquired by habit! Impul- sively she said, You haven't any animals? No parrots that will say unspeakable things in 8 lady's hearing?"
 Ted laughed. "Only a little mouse that comes out and watches me while I work on the gyropilot I've become attached to him!"
 "How long has this attachment lasted?" she asked. If he eats the curtains" She made the fa- miliar gesture of cutting ones own neck. And there's the budget"
 "Oh, we don't need to talk about that. We have an expert on bud- gets at the office. Besides, budgets are one of my hobbies. I love to make them. At the office mine are always fool-proof."
 Kay said, T see. You don't make out the rules of conduct for the flying personnel-the rules for their private lives?"
 "Of course I do," he said, seri- ouesly. Every one at the airport knew the stern discipline that was imposed on the pilots of Trans Pacific Airways.
 But suddenly he smiled and that smile treasured her. He said, Do you know, planning our married life, I'd almost forgotten to men, tion the honeymoon!"
 She said, "Ted!" And then 8 moment later, T hope. you're not the kind of man who will forget your first wedding anniversary"
 His eyes were glowing. well make the trans-Pacific flight to- gether. We'll be married here and embark on the Flying Mari ner, my ship, for our honeymoon! Honolulu, Guam, Manila!"
 Rays eyes were glistening with tears. "Oh, Ted. You've made me so happy! I didn't dare to think about it-but I do want so dreadfully to take the Pacific flight with youI Think what it will mean to me-to us-in later years. Our honeymoon spent on the Mariner and in all those lovely places. It's your life, and it will be mine! You're welded to the air. I'm welded to the air. We'll be together out thereon the blue Pacific-under the stars! And I'll be so proud of you"
 And I'll be so proud of you!" he said.

ACT DECLARED
CONSTITUTIONAL

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Sept. H. UP
The commodities exchange act was
held constitutional today by Federal
Judge Albert L. Reeves in refusing
a temporary injunction to prohibit
its enforcement.
The Kansas City board of trade
had requested the injunction.
Judge Reeves ruled in effect that
it was too early TO challenge the
act effectively. 1t does not go into
effect until Sept. 13.
The board of trade contended the
act was unconstitutional and that
its provisions were SO vague that op-
orators would be unable to interpret
them and so would be in constant
danger of prosecution for inadvert-
ant violations.
