vigorously opposed by the Fedora

Delegates agreed the meters

Of traffic, declared yesterday the

said.
He pointed out that there are
about 1900 spaces that may be
used with q possible return to the
District of about $500, 900 and that

pay for the privilege of parking
his car for brief periods OF shop

The federation adopted a report

OF Highway Parks and waterways,
opposing the use Of any park
areas in the District for public
parking lots, and tabled a pro

APPLE STOCKS
NEARLY SOLD

HAGERSToWN, Md, May 4.
Less than 10000 out Of $4,000
barrels of apples placed in cold
storage last fall remain unsold, it
was announced here today.
Prices were lower this year, it
was said by growers, due to the
fact that many of the second and
third grade apples, generally used
for canning or cider, were not
used In this manner but placed
on the open market, tending to
drive down prices.
The export business showed a
great increase, however, it was
said. with apples being shipped
from here to Germany, Belgium,
England and the Argentine and
commanding good prices.

Visitors Score First
Coach Bing Miller started part of
his second stringers in the line, and
the visitors quickly made him send
in his full strength.
Henderson received the kickoff and
was forced to kick after they failed
to make a first down. Ayscue's kick
sailed down to the visitors 80 yard
line, where Rudisill tucked the ball
under his arm, cut for one side line
and then reversed his field, running
65 yards for the first score of the
game behind almost perfect blocking
by his team mates. The try for point
failed.
Henderson, bolstered by first string
ers that came into the game after the
visitors scored, took the kick on the
20 with Peace running it to the 80. A
pass to Peace was good for 25 yards,
and Ayscue went through the line for
% yards, and Henderson lost the ball
on the % yard mark.
The ball went back and fourth
with neither team gaining a distinct
advantage over the other.

I wants your job. Keyed to the
cadence of the city. Living under
tension" Why did she babble
on SO? Why didn't she talk nat
urally? Because there wasn't
anything to say. Because she
wasn't interested in anything.
And because she didn't want to
talk, she had him take her to the
theater.
She bought a new evening dress
and got no pleasure from it's warm
coral color. She danced to tone
less music.
They tried Chinatown, ate in
Italian, French and German res
taurants. They went to a fiesta
down in Mulberry street and to
see the Finnish dances on the mall
in Central park.
It wasn't fun for her but she
did her best for Bill. 1t was, at
least. a week when she fell into
bed and right into sleep. And she
wasn't lonely that week. Also,
there was stirring within her, a
feeling of abiding affection for Bill
and gratitude for his wide, de-
lighted grin, his sturdy shoulder
beside her own.
She liked his hearty laugh and
the strange embarrassment he
couldn't hide when some of her
unhappiness came out on her face.
Then, she gave him back a rueful
smile and was pleased to see how
easily she had dispelled his con-
Germ.
Alix was not meant for indie
pendence. She needed attention,
basked in it. Bill gave it to her.
He made her wear her rubberS
when they went to walk around
the corner to a tea room for sup
per. He declared that her light
wrap wasn't warm enough when
they rode on top of a Fifth avenue
bus.
No girl could get fat and
healthy eating eternal vegetable
salads, he said sternly at lunch,
and sat over her while she ate a
lamb chop.
She wished that he didn't have
to go back to Bairdsvale-he
stayed an extra week-becauSe
then she would be alone again.
The last night of his stay, she
insisted that they have dinner at
her house.
Bill was glad enough to. The
first time he had seen her in New
York, she had offered to give him
dinner at her apartment. He had
said he couldn't see her in do
nestle role; she was his romantic
LADY,.
His romantic lady had worn him
out this time. He was beginning
to see why she was white and
drawn. It was New York. Bill
began to have a defensive COM
pick.

you like it," he said while they sat
before the hearty fire he had built.

ALIX BOUGHT fresh chrysan-
themums to fill her copper bowls
so that her place would be bright
and cheerful for Bill Boyd when
he arrived. And discovered that
they showed up the faded colors
in her curtains.
She hadn't looked at her place
for so long that she didn't realize
that she had let it run down. A
home was like person, it needed
interest and heart to make it
warm.

chair was worn, untidy. A cigaret
burn had made hole on the arm.

She took an afternoon of and
went shopping for fresh curtains,
new lamp shades and a bright
chintz for a new chair cover.
Passing a long mirror she saw
herself and was shocked that this
dowdily dressed girl was Alix.

looked worn and of last years
vintage.
There were two big boxes under

In the other box there was a mad
little hat to pull down over one
eye and coque feather sitting on
Its top in manner as dashing as
the hat Of an Italian cavalry
Dficer.
She tried them both on, fiufing
her hair out on cheeks that
showed hollows; rubbed rouge
pad over her cheek bones and sum-
moned a smile from heaven knew
where.
Bill Boyd was coming and she
lseeded Bill Boyd.
It was a year since she'd seen
him. A year that had added five

A nostalgia for its peace and quiet
came upon her. She got out the
three letters that Bill had written
her since his return.
There was one paragraph she
wanted to reread.
II dropped in to see Mae Alex
ander who runs the Antiques and
Interior Decorating Shop" Bill
wrote, "the day after got back,
and told her about you. She was
mighty interested in what you
had done with these new tangled
fabrics. She asked me a lot OF

her notepaper and pen and began
to write hurriedly. She wrote.

This letter had to ask for some
thing with precisely the right note
of interest and conviction without
telling her true reason for wanting
it. Not an easy thing to do and
make convincing.~ Would anyone
believe that a girl with success
full career would be willing to give
it up and go back to a small place
and start all over? Would man
who had seen the glamorous side
of New York, which she knew, be-
lieve that she wanted to give it up
without a good reason?
AT last she blotted the finished
page and read what she had
written:
"You were right" her neat
backhand writing read, "New
York is all right for a little while.
I've been thinking of Bairdsvale
ever since you were here and
want to see it again. I was hap

willing to work for very little.

your Miss Alexander and ask her

There was more to the letter
but that was all she said about

Before she had time to change
her mind, she put on her coat and
ran to the street to post it.
