Whether the proposed amend
ment will be adopted at the coming
session is not known. 1t was pass
ed at the last session. In the next
Senate there will be nine members
holding over from the previous as
sembly, and it is expected they will
again vote for the bill. Its fate
viii rest with the House. Should
the Republicans be in the majority
1t is believed they will act favor
ably in view of the fact that the
amendment is part of their
partys economy program. Should
the Democrats be in control of the
lower branch, action on the bill
probably would be doubtful. An
other indication of the states prep

that on September Is Mrs. Estelle

ing for the Government if her husband also
had Federal job. If Neal and Valerie mar
ried, one of them must stop earning, which
would mean disaster for either Valeries father
or Meals mother and sister
They felt their love too sacred to profane
with secret affair, as so many other couples,
caught by Section 2l3, we're doing. So they
spent their evenings on bench in the park,
until the first heavy snow made this meeting
place no longer possible. After that they went
to the little flat they had rented, cooked their
dinner together, and played, tantalizingly, at
domesticity. To keep her father from worry
ing, Valerie had told him that she was spend
ing her evenings at the house of mythical
friend, molly Mapes."
But Philip. her old admirer, arriving unex-
pectedly in Washington, looked her up at
Molly Mapes'" When Neal arrived expec-
tantly at the door, Valerie. to keep their
secret, turned him away, puzzled and angry,
with subterfuge. When Neal telephoned
Immediately afterward, to know who that
man" was, she put him off again = because
Philip was listening by pretended con-
versation with "Molly Mapes.''
HILIP was no happier than Valerie. He
had come to beg her to marry him
and let him make her happy. He had
walked into something and was max

and his tolerance With Philip, friend could
do no wrong. Neal held those he loved to high
standards and could not easily forgive or for
get their dereliction.
When Philip took Valerie home, he fingered
to say: II was going to ask you to 90 to an
embassy ball tomorrow night. don't suppose
you'd care to come aiong!'
I'D love it, Phil. if were free But have
an engagement tomorrow night y think"
"And think you'll be pretty busy explain
ing me. Well. if he-if Molly refuses to
accept your stories as easily as do, you may
be free. Let me know at my hotel"
I'D like to take a peek at people all dressed
up," she sighed. II doubt though, if I'll be
free"
But it turned out that she was; for Neal
was not. When she met him at luncheon the
next day, she told him what had actually
happened. He could not doubt her and he
managed even to laugh at his own furious
jealousy and his blundering failure to help her
out in her dilemma. Perhaps he found it the
easier to believe that circumstances had VIC
timized her, since he himself was in a tanQle
he could not escape.
When he had turned up at his office that
morning, with his romance in tatters, his chief
called him to his desk and made an appeal
more compelling than an order: MY boy"
he began, I'm in pickle. The wife got in
from the West last night and she's rarin' to 20
