CANDWICHED together on one ~ tiny island, historic Hispaniola, Haiti snd the Dominican republic have long battied over deep-scat. cd differences. For one thing race; the Haitlans gre largely Negro, speaking French or patoiS snd the Dominicaps are mostly white, speaking Spanish.
 But most vital is the difference ln territory, for although the HabtianS number 5000, 900. twice eS many as the Dominicans, they occupy only half the island area. So pressure for new lands, new opportunity drove the Haitians at last across the border into the more fertile Dominican fields. And the DominicsDs resisted.
 SeepiDg through . rigid censor. ship have come bitter stories of the "squatter" war. Dominican landowners, aided by soldiers, turned back the invading HaitianS. silling . thousand or more. The survivors escaped, took their cause Q President Stenio Vincent who demanded an Investigation of D0- nlnIcanS. And President Rsfsel rFujlIIo of the Dominican Tepub~ Sc declined. The result was grow. Dg tension between the two re- subjics. The United States ex~ presses grave concern, apd medi. stioD lS being sought to keep ,eacc jn the land which Columbus discovered ln J402.
 Both Haiti end itg island neigh. e0r are shown here on the Domin- can map stamp of 1900.

Ann was dressing for a birth
day party. Rosalind Barclay
granddaughter of old Tom Bar
clay, of Barclay Weiss-was hav-
ing a celebration at II Rococo.
Friends since they had been tots
at kindergarten, Ann had been in
vited to the feStivity at the night

yes, I've been working hard.
But I adore it. Bernice."
"Humph!" Bernice swung her
round. Ann looked lovely in a
little-girl gown of Alice blue chif-
fon, shirred of skirt, with a Ha-
waiian lei of forget-me-notS that
were excellent limitations of the
real thing lying in misty contrast
against the whiteneSS of her
bosom.
you're far too pretty to slave
in that wretched store. But it
won't be for long," Bernice re-
marked sagely.
Ann stared at her
Said Bernice, meaningly: Don't
look so surprised. I felt the same
way about The Laughing Pig'-I
mean my job there, and my good
salary-but when I knew that
Freddie really wanted me after
all, wanted to marry me, nothing
but him mattered any more"
"And what connection has that
with me?" asked Ann.
"Why, darling" - Bernice's
eyes widened dramatically
Aren't you in love with Paul
Bradley, your sales manager or
whatever is he called? I think he's
perfectly gorgeous looking! I
mean, next to Freddie, of course!"
Ann flushed, contrived a light
laugh.
"Of all the romantic geese
you're the worst, my dear sister!
He's my boss, that's all he is. The
merchandise manager.
"WeI, he'll boss you around
plenty once you're married to him,
Ann. But that's the kind you
need to make you happy. A wom-
an has to be bosSed. I think he'd
make a divine husband"
Useless to argue this, unless to
protest. Bernice was in prophetic,
dreamy condition. Probably due to
the blessed event anticipated in
the not-too-distant future
