Turning the Pages
(By ALMA BEAN LOVING

Lillian Calvert was at an age
when the future hung like a black,
mysterious curtain. The present
was boring and tedious, while the
past stood out the only real hap
piness in her life.
So it was to her reminiscent
mood she turned today as the rain
beat steadily against the easement
windows. A slightly wind made
the tiny tree near by lean YEARLY
against the house, like a man bend
ing toward the storm. The sound
was a dismal, weird murmur.
Rain, rain, go away, come a
gain some other day; the little
childish chant seemed to be chas-
ing itself round and round in her
mind
81 used to love to repeat that
rhyme when 1 was small and the
rain interfered with my play,
thought Lillian, smiling out the
window at the tiny riverlets along
a little sandy patch.
Lillian was a wealthy widow
with an only son.
Richard Calvert had tried in his
boyish way to take the place of
his father, but no one could posi-
bly, do that, for Lillian had adored
her husband John, and he in turn
had given her complete devotion In
their thirty years Of marriage.
Before her husbands death she
I had been quite the "grand dame
in her social set and even now ser
we'd as the social arbitrator and SCI
presidents for others to follow.
AS the years went by Lillian
drew more closely to the old home
where she had known so much hap.
piness.
How she had came as a bride
young, and beautiful. Her son had
been born there, and John had
breathed his last within its ole
walls.
Lillian often spent hours going
over the old rooms, recalling the
happy days. Each treasure brought
alternately Joy and pain.
There was nothing about the
room in which she dreamed that
would suggest sorrow or unhappi-
ness for it was lovely, all color
and ambition, with its glowing rugs
and bright cretone at the windows
and a mantle filled with fragrant
blossoms.
Richards room she called it be-
cause he had furnished 1t for her.
"'You need brightness mother, too
much gloom in the other rooms.
This tomb will keep you blue and
morose", he had insisted as he or
dered gay cretonne and flowers.
She couldn't make him see she
was happier when she dreamed
That she lived over her most blor-
ious days when she could sit a
lone and Johns dear spirit came
to her.
A warm glowing fire In the fire
place cast a pinkish light over a
picture sitting on the table. A pic
ture of John, her husband.
The face was gentle and fine, a
smile seemed ever to hover around
his lips.
Today Lillian gazed tenderly at
the face smiling at her.
ats raining today John, dear"
she murmured softly, remember
when rainy days were our roman
tic days when we would have
our tea served before the fireplace

dual, and cannot forget him such, but the
struggle against odds he has made the fine sport
manship he has shown his response to the best
in citizenship-all impress spirit suffi-
cient to stimulate and encourage a feeling of loyal

world should recognize this, and you are to be
graduated for leading effort to so emphasize.

fserves success. We shall not only encourage
very fine young man. who at this time happens to
