Raleigh, Jan. 30-The State Board
of Charities and Public Welfare will
become of much greater Importance
than heretofore under the terms of a
bill which will be introduced in the
Senate Monday night by Senator Lee
L. Gravely, of Rocky Mount, which
will provide for the reorganization of
the board and also provide for the
organization of a board of public well
fare in every county in the State. The
bill leaves the makeup of the board
as. it now is, with seven members,
but provides that the chairman of
the board shall be appointed by the
governor instead of being elected by
the board, as at present.
The bill provides that the commits
sioner of public welfare shall be Sc
lected by the board, as at present. and
that the commissioner shall continue
to, be the executive director of the va
rious welfare activities now under the
direction of the board. It, is not be-

put up the receiver. What do you
suppose I'll have to, do?" r., So,
Janet said that she had no idea
but, whatever it was, she was sure
that it would turn out all right.
Darling; I want you to go to the
nearest telephone and call me the
minute it's over" she told him,
His face fell like a little boys
"Janet, don't you want to come
with meg" 50. ~.. !. -.
do you want me to?" she asked
and her eyes shone.
He took her face between hA
hands and kissed her tenderly.
Then he drew her toward him and
pressed her head against him. She
could feel his heart pounding until
| it grew calm beneath the soft
touch Of her.
Don't you know that every man
wants his sweetheart with him at
every important moment Of his
life?" he said.
"Oh, my dearest" she answered.

from you at every important mo-

am with you and I always will be
no matter what happens"
'But what is going to happen,
you little goose?"
Janet was surprised to find that
she was suddenly frightened.
Frightened Of this stimulating
world that was her husbands but
not hers. She was afraid Of all
the nameless things that could hap
pen to them. Not money or lack
Of it. Not anything that had to
do with the normal events in mar

Of the emotional pulls in the dis
proportionate life Of the theater.

/ his slow smile began at one cor.
ner Of his mouth. He put his hands
into his pocket and looked down at
the girl commanding her glance
Then his eyes went up to where
the heavens would have been and
he. looked down into her eyes
quickly. !, In that small bit there
was no doubt of what his panto-
mime meant. He wore a flower in
his button hole. He took it out and
touched the girls lips with his fin
ger. Then he threw the flower
away.
Miss Ingoldsby got up. 1.-THE
music has begun" she said as
though Janet had given her a cue.
Joel stood at her back, his hand
lowering shyly at her shoulder as
though he dared not touch it. 1.-THE
music is here" he said. Please
don't take it away"
Janet. saw that Arnhelt haG
moved forward, his figure alert, his
interest engaged.
Cut" he said calmly. all the
quality of annoyance gone from his
voice. "Stay there, please, wen

flower in closeup"
Janet relaxed. Then it was over.

Let you know" Arnhelt said
briefly but 'he smiled cordially. He
left the set Immediately.
Joel had little to say on the sub
way ride back to town. It was
nearly four when they got there.
He kissed Janet at the stop where
they both got off. 1--WE got to get
to my j. back to my other job
he said. "But I'll sec you at the
usual time"
He never spoke of the movie job
any more. If he guessed that Janet
knew he had not been working ir
a movie, he made no offer of any
explanation. :, Janet thought how
strange the working of hi mind
must have been that he would ac-
cept it that she never asked
about it.
Don't work too hard" she saiI
lightly. "Save yourself for news
from the studio"
: 'Oh, that? We probably won't

what these things mean" His tone
was as. light as hers but she knew.
what the waiting would mean tc
him. j
And she knew that if she didn't
love him so much, she would have
wished that. the answer would not
be favorable. Down in her heart
she didn't want Joel in the movies.

age pensions and aid to dependent
children, there were some who
thought these activities should be set
up under an entirely new agency.
Senator Gravely believes, however,
that with the revamping Of the State
Board of Charities and the welfare
department. as provided, for in the bill
which he will introduce Monday night,
all of the. objections now raised will
be met and that the new board, with a
strong chairman, appointed by the gov
ernor, viii be fully able to handle
both the pensions and welfare divi-
sions without any difficulty. It is
fully expected that both the chairman
of the board and the new director Of
public assistance will be men.
The Gravely bill. also provides for
the. mandatory creation of a. county
board of welfare in every county. At
the present, time there are, county
welfare boards in only II counties
and these are. appointed entirely by
the State Welfare Deartment. Under
the, trens of the. Gravely bill, the
county welfare boards shall consist
of three members. with one member
to be elected by. the board Of county
cohnmissioners. one by the State Board
Of Charities, and Public Welfare and

JANET KNEW that she didn't
carry off lies well; they were not
part of her makeup so she stif1ed
her conscience with the thought
that what she was doing should not
hurt Harry Devanter and that
some day-if her plan worked-she
would explain it to Harry.
How about that dance now?"
I'm afraid we haven't time"
Janet added another white lie to
her list. She couldn't have Joel
see her dancing, have Joel humili-
ated by her discovery of his secret.
We've dawdled so long! Dinner
to prepare, she murmured
vaguely and put on her gloves.

cook" he said admiringly. when

Please do" she said cordially,
and wouldn't let him take her
home.
Going home on the bus, she
thought Martha would say this is
managing and she is right but she
couldn't say it is wrong.
Her arms were filed with pack
ages when she reached the brown
stone house. One by one she opened
them with an air of excitement.
There were half dozen yellow
roses and four candles of the same
color. There was a minute pack
age of JoePs favorite sailed nuts.
There were oysters on the half
shell. There was also a little duck
to cook with slices Of orange and
there was crisp endive. These were
festive things that Joel loved.
At half-past eight Janet, wear
Ing the amber frock that chung
smartly to her small, svelte figure,
with her mothers heavy gold ear
rings and necklace, heard Joel's
step on the stair. She dropped ice
cubes into the cocktail shaker,
whipped the damp cloth from the
small plate of hors d'oaiv -es and
lit the candles.
From the tiny kitchenette, a
tempting aroma of roasting meat
pervaded the room. Janet clicked
out the bright lights and the room
was in candle light save for the
soft glow of the rose-shaded lamp
Hello, what have we here? A
party!' Joel stood his wife of

lighted up with that look of eager
expectancy that gave him an all

usefulness.
