Unhappy
Ending

"Follow Me-" by Mabel Dana
Lyon, is something new in light
fiction, for one thing it has an
unhappy ending. For another,
it is told in the first person.
The result is a scintillating ac-
count Of q knock-down-and-drag-
out romance between a man who
loved adventure and a woman
who loved her home and chill
dren. Naturally, since they also
happen to love each other, their
story is full Of violent compli-
cations.
Terry wants to go to Russia.
He has a yen to hunt big game
in Africa. He hustles off in
quest of excitement in war-rid-
den China. Mag follows. ..
fighting against it longing for
her children. .rebelling at every
turn. but following. Hence the
title.
Somehow Terry escapes death
between the jaws of a lion and
extinction as a prisoner of war
only to go off very quickly with
pneumonia contracted in a hotel
bedroom.
He tells Mag they had "some
swell old times" while they were
having them, and Mag tells
everybody that now she can
stay with her children. but it
is still a sad ending. And an
odd one for q tale so flip and
racy.
Follow Me-" a modern love
story by Mabel Dana Lyon. God

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt in her
column my Day" said Friday: after
I went to bed last night 1 starting
marking my mail, but always end
up by allowing myself time to read
something l really enjoy. For an hour
I found myself deeply engrossed with
the trials which the women, who lived
in Georgia during the Civil War, suf-
fered"
After this she comments on Gone
With The Wind" by Margaret Nit
chell IF you have not read it, 1 can
assure you, you will find Scarlet
OHara an interesting character. For
pure selfishness and ruthleSSness she
seems to be almost incredible But
circumstances mould even the little
animal she seems to be. So far the
remark of old Granny Fontaine, that
one should always keep something to
fear and something to love in this
world, is perhaps, the fisest piece of
psychology"
The H. Leslie Perry Memorial Lib
rary has several copies of this book
having added three copies Friday.
The habit of allowing oneself time
each day to read something that one
enjoys is an excellent one. The public
library affords a wide selection or
books to suit the many and varied
interests of the patrons.
Among the new books that have
just been added there is Mexican In

CHAPTER %

SLOWLY, little by little, Gay
tried to turn the door knob out
side the bedroom, but she stopped
when she heard Grace Larrimore's
cry Of alarm.
Someone's in your sitting room,
Marian. The door"
"Only the maid. I sent for her
to run an Grand"
Under cover of their voices, Gay
began again to twist the knob.
This time it turned unexpectedly
from the other side of the door.
Quick as flash, Gay retreated be-
hind a tall screen that fronted the
fireplace.

Gay recognized the flat voice of
q housemaid, who had brought
linen that noon to her bathroom.
"You want me to mail these let
tiers on your table? Yes, ma'am.
I'll take them myself, and I'll have
time to mend your bed-jacket be-
fore leave"
From behind the screen, Gay
heard Marian renew the conversa-
ton in a discreetly lowered voice.
"You know Eleanor better than
do, Grace. I think you ought to
write to her Immediately, or cable.
It's high time we decent women
protect our men against such
young vamps"

gerous than the ordinary kind. I

or Tim will keep his word and
start for the golf course without
me. But wasn't Eleanor a fool to
leave Tim this summer! He's hui

this Elwell person is pretty. But
if he marries her. it will ruin
Eleanor's whole life. She adores
Tim, though she still gags over his
crudeness. Yes, you're right,
Marian; it's positively my duty to
warn Eleanor Immediately Of
what's going ONT"
"And do it soon, before it's too
late," Mrs. Wilson advised. 'Tim
acts dead in earnest. I never be-
lieved he'd have the rotten bad
taste to put that girl in Eleanor's
seat at table, but we saw it with

with the Southeastern polo tourna-
ment here this week has resembled
that Of ION again, off again, gone again
Finnegan," will go into action after
all tomorrow afternoon for the Mary
land Polo Club, officials Of the meet
announced shortly before noon today.
Prior to publication of the team
line-ups for the series of matches in
Potomac Park, it was understood that
the Maryland club would seek to have
Harrisons handicap rating reduced
from to goals in order to make
him eligible for participation in the
tournament. Under the rules Of this
type of competition no individual is
permitted to enter if his rating is
above goals.
When the line-upS were announced
yesterday, Harrison's name did not
appear. Capt. c. Hancock Reed, tour
nament manager, explained that the
United States Polo Association had re-
fused to lower the internationalist's
handicap.
This morning Capt. Reed received
a frantic telephone call from Balti-
more, where the Maryland club offi-
cials had just received special dis
pensation from the Central Polo Com
mittee, permitting Harrison to play.
His appearance will give Washing
tonians an opportunity to watch prob
ably the best polo player ever seen on

Cavalry of Fort Myer tomorrow after

ing deprived of accumulated leave

complaint when a recommendation
and report was received from Paul

While they were dismissed July l, in
many cases, the 127 employees were
granted as much as two weeks leave,
