vided experts from it's land policy section. On May i, 1895 the land program was transferred by execu- tive order to the resettlement ad- ministration. It is now organized as the division of land utilization un- der the direction of pr. L. c. Gray who for IT years directed the land policy work of the U. 8. Department of Agriculture.
 The resettlement administration, the booklet states, is purchasing nine million acres of land. To car- " out it's program $46,O00,000 to date has been made available to the division of land utilization which will also direct the work of improv- ing the land. To finance the cost of converting these areas to their new uses, the president has allocated SIS, 0,000, sum which is providing employment for 66,000 men.
 The program is divided into 20D different projects, varying in size and purpose. Wherever possible the land being purchased will be used for Q combination of purposes, inc cluding forestry, recreation, and wildlife conservation. Other pro- Jects have been planned with one major use in mind, and may be classified as being intended pri- marily for grazing, recreation, mi. gratory waterfowl protection and Indian rehabilitation. An families living on the farms being purchased will be given an opportunity to

move to better land. There are at present i6,800 families occupying the tracts selected for purchase. Of these about half will be able satis- factorily to effect their resettlement on better land without help from the government beyond the pur- chase of their present farms, the booklet points out.
 In the eastern part of the United States, large hilly regions which in private ownership can be turned to no use that Is profitable from a financial point of view, are being bought up and are being converted through reforestation into parks and recreation areas, W hich resi- dents of nearby cities may enjoy.
 Copiously illustrated, the book let shows photographs depicting im- proper land use, soil erosion, dust storms, floods, families evicted by soil impoverishment, in contrast to scenes of lands turned to productive use and pictures of families success fully rehabilitated.

 Molly gasped, drowned, and then laughed. The idiotl He must have spent the whole day assembling this ridiculous homemade maTionette theater. The setting for the tiny actors was . lurid dive, with bizarre colors and tiny, absurd pictures on the wall which carried out . very wicked atmosphere. The small pups pets, themselves, were perfectly cast.
 one, when manipulated properly, with . string, lurched toward a Ccu- plo sitting ct 6 table, and dangied . dreadful looking miniature knife. Another miniature gentleman never could be made to stand on his legs, but toppled and staggered in the most inebriated manner.
 Molly regarded one of the tiny actors with suspicious eyes. A gols den-haired puppet staring out ct the scene with wide, excited eyes. Might as well Do tagged Molly she thought.
 "stay home, child, and amuBe yourself with this small edition of night iife," read Brentg card.

"Am I to understand you dontT" Brent laughed.
 Molly considered . moment. T don't adore dances tonight, and I adore you only with qualifications"
 "Be reasonable, Molly"
 Hope you like the dance" MOl- ly said.
 Brent seemed brightly uncrushed. "see you soon."
 MOLLY clicked the phone in IVA place and sat considering It's blank face with . slight frown on her own.

 On on impulse, she lifted the or- chids and dropped them Into Q dain- ty, be.ribboned waste basket near her dressing table. Then she stoop- cd and retrieved them.

Beginning the Story
 of a Restless Girl Who Thought the Easy Life
 of a Debutante
 Was Not for Her. Excitement -She Decided = Was Needed Badly.

For, of course, every girl should end her debut with an announce. ment of her engagement. That was what debuts were fort
 Tn Mollys case it was more UT. gent, lt was two years now since her fathers marriage to Donna, who was only five years older than her- self. Donna was getting sick and tired of Q Btepmother role. ft aged her bit. Pressure, subtle as 1t was, was being brought to bear on Molly toward decision.
 "0oodneSs, Molly" Donna had said. What is the matter with you2 Four of the seasons most eligible men at your heels and you can't make up your mind. You could draw BtraWs and win c husband any girl would bo proud to get"
 MOLLY stirred rostleasly on her IVA pillow. It wouldn't be Hubert, who babbled things like Golden Girl" at her. Nor Wick, with his casual acceptance of her aS Q Suit- able wife. Nor Donald, with his suRV0 flattery and appraising eyes. That, of course, left Brent. Brent, with hB teasing, gray eyes, his good-looking, but not hero.hand. some face, his strong mans Shoul- ders. Tho thought of Brent both steRdied and stimulated Molly. Strange. But Brent was like that.
 There was just ono thing wrong with choosing Brent. You couldn't accept Q man who hadn't asked you to marry him. Donna didn't know that, and persisted in the theory that Brent was in c sort of deliriun about Molly.
 And oil the time there was Brent with his big-brother-lik devotion that might mean something and might mean nothing at ell. Perhaps she didn't want it to mean Anys thing. Brent wouldn't call her "dol- den 0irl," But he'd b0 certain to call her "child," aS he had done ever since Molly was i2 and h0 Was perfectly maddening and insulting l8 years old. Who wanted to Do called "chlld" oil her llfe2
 Strangely he hadn't mocked at the name Hubert had suggested dur- ing an interr1iSSion at Molly's debut ball. "Qolden hair, golden eyes with amber lights, golden Skin," Hubert had said softly.
 Sounds Chinese" Molly had laughed.
 "Not yellow. Golden" Brent had corrected. You have Q sunny kind of skin and it's deeper gold when you put on tan in tho summer"
 "Why, Br0ntW Molly had ex- claimed, This from matter-o Brent stuartl
 If he should ever propose and # Molly said yes, she would live in that fine old home of Brent'S, with It's mellow paneling and gracious air of age and dignity. A house that was tho proper setting for the son of Q famous architect, who was mak. ing himself in the same profession. THE telephone tinkled and she A heard Rita, the maid, answering.

"Hi, mutt I'm coming out"

 "Rebeliion," declared Brent firm ly. T know the symptoms," MOLLY laughed. That was the lVA nice thing about Brent. He understood, without being angry.
 "IS it a headache, cold and rec bollion that will continue until eve- ning9" Brent inquired pleasantly. Because it occurs to me at the mos ment that I'm taking you to Peggy Carlyles danco."
 "dood memory" Molly answered, "Your names on my date book, too. As Q matter of fact, Brent, I've de- oided to skip PeggyS danee."
 "You can't do thatl" Brent ex- claimed. Besides being Q date, It's . special kind of date. You know 1 always spend your birthdays with you"
 "Just an old childish custom" Molly deplied cooly. Anyway, 1 didn't say wouldn't spend my birthday with you. I'm counting on your skipping the dance with me-"
