TAKE TIP FROM
WEATHER MAN,
DON'T LAY BETS
1t May Warm Up, and Then
Again 1t May Not, Is
Arlington View.

If you are inclined to Ley wager
on the weather, you might take a
tip from j. H Arlington, Federal
lneteorologist, and not bet five to
one that the next six weeks are to
be balmy just because the past six
weeks have been unusual"
Furthermore, because the tenn
perature has been below the aver
age mean temperature for the six
week period is no sign that spring
is just around the corner.
Meteorological predictions have
been made for Iowa and Massachu-
sets for the forthcoming months
by highly reputable forecasters, to
be sure, Mr. Arlington said, but
those states are not Indiana-no, not
by 40 rows of twinkling constella-
lions.
This Indiana weather is most
unpredictable, he said. And if
he wasn't such a mild and tolerant
person he might have added "flend-
iSh."
Il
ut is true that in 1918 a severe
January was followed by February
and March in which the average
temperature for the month was
warmer than that of the mean tenn
perature," Mr. Arlington said as
he scanned his charts for the II
coolest years since 1886.
Figures at the local Weather Bu-
reau show that the coolest Janu-
arys have -een 1924, 1920, 1918, 1912,
1905, 1904, 1895, 1898, 1892, 1888 and
1887.
Following these cold Januarys in
four years the Februarys and
Marches have been colder than the
mean temperature for those months
by 1868 per cent.
On the other hand only two
Februarys and Marches have been
warmer than the mean for those
months following helow-average cold
Januarys.
Therefore, the chances, according
to Mr.. Armington'S mathematical
calculations show that. Indiana has
about one chance in five of having
warmer weather in the future
month and half.
just to prove that weather does
not change from year to year nearly
as much as the Hoosiers may think,
the meteorological cites figures to
prove that in five of the II in
stances there is less than the four
degree fiuctuation from the mean
temperature following below average
cold winters.

have lace trimmings, and the verses
are much the same. If anything,
they are a little more artistic than
they used to be-"
Valentine making, he said, really
is big business" Large companies
employ highly paid STATS of verse
writer's and designers to turn them

The day of the semi professional
verse writer, who turned out valen-

He knew of no one in this city en-

Valentine giving isn't a strictly
adolescent activity. According to Mr..
Kautz, people in all age groups buy
them. In fact, 80 per cent of the
business in downtown stores is done
with middle-aged people. Neighbour
hood sales bring up the average for
the younger generations.

A UNIT MADGE had arrived In
Il n one of her cars.

4 n one of her cars.
80 this is the way you repay me
for what I've done for you! You
ungrateful little snip! Do you want
the family dragged in newspaper
headlines? Did you imagine that
I, with as much money as I have,
could be outwitted by a penniless
little halfWit like you?"
And now I'm 3d." thought Paula,
stitching Aunt Madge's dress that
needed mending. She wiped tears
with the back of one slender hand.
Noting the time, she supposed
that now they would be sitting down
at the table. bringing their cock
tails with them. Now, perhaps,
the crabflakes were being served.
Finally the licqueurs. She was sure
of it when the butler came into the
sewing room door.
Miss Paula, Mr.. Deninston de-
sires you to bring a needle and
some dark thread down to the ter
race at once"
Paula did not hurry. Aunt Madge,
very likely, had ripped her stock
ing. But on the terrace, it was not
Aunt Madge who was in trouble.
Cousin Irene, laughing, said, tom
tore his sleeve, and he wanted tc

Uncle Phil" she said.
A UNIT MADCE smiled rom a
L n comfortable armcha But
what have you to wear to e ball,
Paula? All the others W wear
handsome gowns and jewels. I'm
sure you wouldn't want to be a
wall-fiower, would you, dear?"
Uncle Phil looked annoyed. "Oh,
Madge, buy her gown, why don't
you!" Aunt Madge only smiled.
She held the purse strings, not
Uncle Phillip.
Now an inconspicuous feature of
that famous ballroom was a high,
narrow balcony at one end, useful
at times for the arrangement of
decorations. On this night screen
of smila and great yellow cnrysan-
themums covered 1t entirely. No
one saw a pair of wistful blue eyes
peering through this foliage.
From here Paula, her hair that
was like sun-ripened honey lost in
the shadow, glimpsed the gowns,
the jewels, the flowers. From here,
and wearing no party dress but
her little sewing apron, Paula
heard the music.
1t is not surprising that the next
day she ran away. She had no
money. So she walked, carrying
a small but heavy handbag. She
walked three miles to the ferry.

- said, and to Paula: "Out of
sorrow for your dear mother, I'm
sure you'll prefer to be left to your
self" Paula swallowed tears. Aunt
Madge looked solicitous. ITO avoid
brooding, dear. you might like to

The young girl grasped this OBJ

I'm be glad to help in any way

So eight months passed. Then
Aunt Madge arranged the great ball
for her cousin Irene's birthday. And
though time could not dim the

ing directly at her and holding out
a blue serge sleeve with an ell-tear
near the cuff. Did he want her to
sew it while he had the coat on?
She thought of his wife. But her
heart would not behave anyway
Aunt Madge, however, was smiling
benignly.
Take your coat off, Tom dear,
so she can mend it,"
But Tom Steadley could smile, too
Take me into the library, Miss
Paula" he directed, where I can
take off my coat"
She had giddy feeling that none
of this was real, more so when
in the library, he did not take off
his coat.
A kind of embarrassment came
over him. With constraint that his
usual ease made astonishing, he
gazed out of farther window
while he talked. And his remark
seemed strangely irrelevant.

magic spell, and because she would
not break this enchantment she
would not speak. But lingering the
spool OF dark thread in the pocket
Of her sewing apron, she wondered
why he had wanted to speak with
her alone.
Possibly he needed her advice
Possibly he wanted to ask Uncle
Phil on a cruise, but without Aunt
Madge, and didn't know how to 60
about it.
Tom Steadley, however, made the
matter plain.

She trembled so violently, and II
was from sheer Joy, that she dropped

voice cold with pain:

MOT kind, and even insupport-
~ ably cruel that after these
years of her loneliness this should
be offered, this only. How could the
man have the impudence to look

manded.

he must already know.

turned away, hiding tears.
But when he spoke again. the
tears were like the dew that

On the terrace, Aunt Madge
