 Daphne shook her head.
 "I'll tell you then" he said. 'Ill tell you the whole story. I'm spending few days with a chap who has camp back here near Cornwall. This morning came out for a cross-country ramble, saw your house, was utterly charmed by it. Reluctant to leave until l had seen all of it and, having a hearty appetite, <"

 Since I wasn't invited to see 1t, prowled. Prowling, I happened to observe the arrival of your CT guests who did not, to my way of thinking, add to the picture. Fortunately, I happened also to be studying the framework of your drawing-room window where your reluctance was quite plain to be seen"
 And where you heard me men, tion my imagined prospect?"
 And heard you mention him." he admitted.
 I'm glad you did. Do you usual- ly make your approaches that way?"
 He knew she meant by that, the whole situation. Not usually" he said, but it isn't bad way. You see, I'm an architect and particu- larly interested in houses like these" M
 Then you weren't looking for a house to rent?" Daphne's face was instantly peclouded.
 But was!" he protested and believed himself.
 "Well, then" she said more lightly, we'd better get on with the details. If you haven't a ser- want, I'd like to recommend Pru- nella Bates. She's in the kitchen now and she'll tell you about lin- ems and ;. :"
 Well just skip that" he said, but we'll have a talk with Pru- nella. The other doesn't matter"
 But it does" Daphne said primly and another thought struck her:
 Perhaps you have a family?"
 "A very small one,' he an- Swered.

would live in her house, wall- in her garden. She couldn't assemble any imagined features but she knew she would be nice girl with taste and, undoubtedly, beau ty, since he had married her. Or would he be the kind of 8 man who would marry girl if she were not beautiful? Daphne felt like a fool for giving it a moments thought.
 If there were little Smiths, she need not worry about t hem. They'd be nicely disciplined and their father would see that her things were well protected. He had the same kind of love for beauti- full things she herself had, she knew. Yes, Larry Smith belonged. She knew that he would find in Brett Hall the same things that she and Tom Brett had loved - loved every minute of the chang ing beauty that came with each new season. He would be, she felt, the kind of man who would won- der, as she and Tom had won- dered, with awe at the miracle of each new spring and autumn.
 When he had gone, Daphne saw that she had more than an hour until it was time for her to dress for her return to the city. She went back to Toms study and curl ed up in his worn leather chair with her knees under her chin the way she had when she was long, legged, big-eyed child. The ghost of the little girl in pinafore with slipping red ribbon on her black curls sat there. Sat there now, see- ing her yesterdays and longing for tomorrows that were postponed.
 It was only that they were post poned. Daphne promised herself.
 There would be other summers to enjoy the hollyhocks, the warm sweet raspberries that grew along the garden walls. There would be other autumns, golden, red and frangrant with the scents of wet pine and burning leaves and good things baking in the oven of the wod stove. There would be other winters when the rolling hills, cov-

(Continued from Page D pension fund for the City of Tor rington. Senator Anthony TeleSca, who presented the bill, spoke for members of both departments and members now entitled to the pension as well as other cases which may occur in the future. The bill is similar to that now in effect in Waterbury.
 Thoms Not Candidate Representative Pohn D. Thoms (d.) of Waterbury stated early this afternoon that he is not a candidate for any position in the juvenile court in the Waterbury district in the event bill introduced by him is approved by the senate judiciary committee. Rep Thoms' bill for the establishment of five district juve- nile courts in the whole state of Connecticut was being heard this afternoon by the senate judiciary committee of which he is a member.
 Child Labor Amendment
 The senate today failed to- take any action on the bill to ratify the child labor amendment of the con- stitution. Senator Joseph H. Lawlor reiterated his former statement, that he will vote for ratification, while Senator George T. Culhane, also of Waterbury today once more stated that he will vote against the bill. The bill was passed over, re- taining its place on the calendar.
 Hunting, Fishing Privileges

1 cred with blanket of snow, would mirror the stars that brought tn e heavens closer to earth. And with them, peace.
 Daphne shook off the thought impatiently. She didn't want peace. That was what old people wanted. She wanted only a slower tempo to her life. She was mentally short of breath at this speed at which her life was paced. But she wasn't ready for the old ladies home at 24 simply because she was bored with night clubs and occasionally found the proportions of her small apartment confining.
 What did she want? She asked the ceiling above her and knew the answer while she refused to admit 1t. Fun? She had that. She had beaus, parties, dates. A ca- reer? Wasn't she molding that suc- cessfully at that very moment and loving it? Money? She would have liked to have more because she needed it for Jennifer.
 Daphne jumped to her feet. No good sitting here thinking of Jen- infer. Lately a disquieting thought had intruded on her when she thought of the little sister she had mothered.
 Prunella had wound the grand fathers clock. It struck seven.

would scarcely remain silent.
 The loyalist navy also took new lease on life and began widespread bombardments of rebel ports and bases. Valencia, the loyalist capital, asserted that their navy had re- gained supremacy in Spanish wa ters.
 Rome Is Disturbed
 Rome was obviously disturbed by the trend of events. The danger to European relations lay in the fact that Mussolini might feel impelled to send endorsements to save Italian prestige and ensure an in- surgent victory.
 He is unwilling to do so except, as a last resort. It was reported he had sent secret orders to the Italian officers in Spain to stiffen their re- sistance and win quickly for the insurgents.
 Virginia Gayda, Mussolinfs mouthpiece, voiced the wish which is father to the thought when he wrote hopefully in his newspaper that the next few days should "Seal the fate" of, the reds"
 Britain Warns Franco
 London, March 30-(U.P9-Great Britain today issued 8 counter warning to Generalissimo Francisco Franco, Spanish insurgent chieftain, declaring that Britain twill not tol- crate any interference at all with British ships on the high seas"
 The British authorities, replying to Franco's declaration that British ships should stay out of Spanish waters, warned:
 Our ships do not carry contra. band. We see to that, and our or ders in this respect are being car- ried out. It is possible, of course, that the British flag be used by others, which is permissible of con- batants under international law.
 British craft held up by warships of either side will at once wireless British warships who will answer immediately. In viey of the fact that other vessels may use the Brit ish flag, 1t is advisable that British ships in Spanish waters answer rebel signals if they are molested by their warships."
 The warning followed indications that Britain intended to remain firm against permitting any inter- ference with her vessels at sea.
 New Offensive
 Hendaye, Franco Spanish From tier, March 30-(U.P.) Reliable reports crossing the frontier told to- day of preparations by General Francisco Franco for a new big scale offensive against Madrid from the north.
 Reconnaissance planes have flown over all nationalist lines in the last 48 hours and report that in- surgent forces are being concen- trated at many points on the north ern Madrid front.
 There is every indication, military observers reported, that Franco plans a new drive to take the cap- ital as soon as the weather im- proves.
 According to the best information available to loyalist sources, the drive will come from the northeast Guadalajara sector where Franco's fifth Madrid offensive met disaster 10 days ago. ess'

 'They're not all like this. The rooms are as different as our fam ily was," Daphne said as they cross ed the wide hall and she opened a door.
 They stopped before the portrait which hung above the hearth in the shabby room that had been Tom Brett's study. Studying the portrait of the golden-haired Mar got with her two babies one a small yellow-haired cherub, the other a grave-eyed child of six - he saw that they were indeed all different The portrait interested him. Some day when he lived here, he would study those faces, reading the things he saw in the lovely and unlike lineaments. For they were all sensitive faces, the kind that can hide nothing of the natures bal k of them.
 "This was Fathers study and it IS more like him than his photo- graph" Daphne was saying with warm affection ill her voice. Larry Smith looked away from the eyes th;;t were suddenly dim and then suddenly bright. He saw that the old- fashioned desk was closed, that dust had gathered on the fishing tackle, the guns, the sporting prints, and he understood.
 I'm going to like 1t here" he said.
 T hope so," she answered and led the way to the staircase. Well go upstairs now" She talked as Athey assembled.

 Larry was beginning to under sand why Daphne Brett love- ly name, he thought had been anxious to rent the house. The or phan girls were hard up.

 I've been looking into some of them,' he said calmly.

GOOD GARDENING
Plant Flowers According To Height

 COnsultant

It Is no easy task to make up an order of flower seeds by reading the alluring seed catalogs. The descrip- ton of each plant is so glowing that it is hard to find how high the plant grows and whether it belongs in front or in back of a flower border. To help the amateur gardener the following list is suggested. It may be used at the time of ordering the seeds, and when the plants are put In the ground.
