Goa, they liked to plan dim future
days In which they two would live
alone on a desert island and signal
to the people on the shore for what
they wanted.
She was an odd-looking child, not
pretty yet, but too small to worry
about looks herself. Her mother,
however, was extremely concerned
about them. She had just begun to
realize that Victoria might be quite
lovely some day-or striking, any
way, distinguished-lo ooking-and was
watching her keenly for signs Of it;
= but Victoria did not know that. Mrs.
Herrendeen said to herself that if
the child ever grew up to that big
red mouth, and if the deep-set slate
gray eyes opened little more, and
if the thick straight tawny hair were
cut and curled into a becoming
shape, and the dark, freckled skin
cleared, she would be all right. But
the big teeth had to be straight
ened and the hair brushed 80.
Magda Herrendeen might indulge
in . little sigh about it, deep in her
own soul She was far too fond Of
Victoria, far too loyal to everyone
she loved, her, own small daughter
included, to give the child any hint
of it. Vicky's life must be happy,
confident, free; she must never feel
any inferiority or shyness. i
: Magda had had no trouble with
her own beauty. It had been given
. her al about fifteen as a complete
gift from the gods. It was f1awless;
it was only comparable to other
perfect beauty. ~-.- ...:.~
But it was not anything tangible
or even describable about her that
made her lovely, nor the firm
straight body with its wide Shout
ders and thin hips, nor the fine
nervous hand and modelled arm. It
was a glow, a fragrance, a light
that seemed to emanate from her,
and that was somehow in her voice
too, and IN the clothes she wore. =.
Victoria could not appreciate her
beauty, even when new men were
introduced to her and held her small
sandy hand while they asked her
the question all the other men had: !
DO you know you have a very i
beautiful mother?p 81. XXI. =. T. ...: .& !: h
She would look at her mother on
these occasions and smile .shyly,
Carbon County news., 1937-05-28

Il pleased, but a little puzzleo' too
Was it so important?
Evidently it was very important
Anyway, for that reason or some
other everyone did really make 9
great fuss about Mother. She
laughed about it, but Of course she
liked it, too.
Victoria's mother always had
flowers; men brought them when
they came to tea, even in winter.
The Herrendeens did not have din
ner parties themselves, because the
apartment was so small, but even
if Mother did not have a maid at
any other time she always was in
touch with a nice colored girl or a
clever Japanese woman or a young
Chinese in purple and gold and blue,
who came in to serve tea. And
men-or more often r1an-came
then, and whoever he was, he
brought flowers.
Orchids and gardenias, and great
soft melting begonias in tones OF
peach and warm cream, and long
stemmed roses and sweet dark vio-
lets--these were always in Mother S
rooms. She said that she would feel
really poor without them, and Vic
toria suspected that Dad would do
anything to keep Mother from feel
ing really poor.
He had confided to Victoria that
they were poor, quite poor. He had
been very rich once, and could give
Mother those pearls, and furs, and
everything she liked, and then she
had had fiowers-many more than
these even, every day. And then
she had had a great big house to
put them in, and servants to find
vases for them. Mother had had a
maid, and Dad a valet =.
'And did joo like that, Dad?"
Victoria might ask.
Even when she had had nurses all
to herself she had not liked them.
Nurses liked to talk to cooks and
to other nurses in parks and kitch-
ems and hotel dining rooms and on
beaches; to a little girl they had
nothing at all to say.
But this had been in the old days
when they had the big lloasa with
Ferdinand in the downstairs hall
and the dumbwaiter and the chauf-
feur. These had faded away, some
where around the time of her sew
enth birthday, and the big motor
cars with them, and the Herren-
deems no longer went to great big
hotels and lived in great big rooms
with letters embroidered on the tow
els, and kilograms and flowers in
yellow envelopes and big green
boxes.
They moved. to a small apart
ment, and Victoria discovered to
her ecstasy that her own bedroom
was right next to a similarly simple
room where her mother and her IA
ther slept. Now she could 60 in
her pajamas in the early morning
and sit on their knees while they
were in bed and talk to them. And
now she was never lonely any more,
for there was school and there was
Dad every night.
He taught her how to cook; choco-
late cornstarch custard and baked
potatoes and apple sauce: it was
all fun.
On this hot August Saturday, COM
ing back from the beach with her
sandy hand tight in his, she said:
did Mother meet you?"
''I don't think Mother knew I was
coming"
100, Dad" said Victoria, fearful
ly. ''she likes you to let her know!"
II know she does, darling, and I
did. But when left the station
just now the telegraph man came
out and said: Are you going over
to Cutters'?' and said, Yes And
he said, Here's a telegram then
for some Mrs. Herrendeen-the tel
ephone wires are down. And it
looks like my telegram"

CHAPTER r

Victoria Herrendeen came up
from the beach with her sandy fin.
gers tight in her fathers hand.
Those girls down there had been
mean to her because she didn't un-
derstand the French they were jab-
bering with Madernoiselle, and they
had laughed at her.. When Dad
had appeared, with his usual smile,
wearing his old blue coat and the
loose old white trousers Mother
sometimes let him wear on sum-
TI1er morning, he had looked to his
daughter like an angel of light. Here
was her unfailing friend and cham
pion.
He came down from the San
Francisco Office when he could; not
every weekend, but at least every
other weekend, and when he was
there Victoria had the companion
she loved hest in the world, and
the best time any little girl ever
had on a beach.
Dad was a chemist-whatever
that was-and worked in labora-
tory with a man named Butler, who
was mean to him, and lot of other
men who were nice. Victoria knew
ebout Butler because she had often
heard her mother say, "Butler
wouldn't put it over on me that
way, Keith. I'd not stand it! I
wonder what you do"
They loved each other dearly, she
and her father. They were ex-
quisitely happy together. While she
waded, and he made beach fire

fingers, her wet straight tawny hair
dripping Oh her shoulders. She took
a comb and dragged the damp locks
back severely.
'NoW take your fingers and soften

Yes" Mrs. Herrendeen said, jerk
ing another pillow under her head.

Nor anything / like. Magda might
have answered from the sense Of

in her heart. But she said only the
first phrase aloud. For the rest she

''We'H take care of each other"
Keith said again
''There goes the dinner bell," VIC
toria said, leaping from rock to rock
beside him. 4 'Goody! Are you hum
cry? I'm starving.''
Mrs. Herrendee1 coming to din
ner?" Emma said, giving them
their napkins and setting two
glasses of cut fruit before them.
mo, she can't come tonight"
Upon their return to their room
Immediately after dinner, Vic and
her father found Victoria mother
all ready to go. Her manner was
the prettiIy careless one that dis
guises in a beautiful woman sud-
den touch of self-consciousness.
II wonder you'll speak to me for
being such a runaway" she said
to them with her appealing smile.
She was always gentle; Victoria
had never seen her mother harsh
or angry. #~.
"You look lovely, Magda," her
husband said. He said it without
enthusiasm, almost Wearily, as he
sat down. The lovely vision stopped |
to kiss his forehead. She caught up
the familiar wrap. Victoria had |
seen her catch it up a hundred |
times; it was her only one, except |
for the two shawls. And Mother
said shawls were not really smart |
any more. .%E
And now she was giving to Dad |
and Victoria her familiar good-by |
laugh and nod, an excited, triumph
ant laugh and nod, as if she said,
''Now that I'm all ready I'm not
scared; anyone who looks az I do
must have good tirne!" and she
was running away. ~ ,...-.
There was young man in a ltht
overcoat outside the French wiz
dows; there always was. And ther
was a rakish low car waiting in thet
drive; that was always there, too.
Mother met the one and ran down
to the other, and there was the
roar of deep engine, and she was
gone.
Dad and Victoria went out to the
front steps and sat there in the
soft summer night.

M|DD[EBURG SEEKS
SCHOOL ADDITIONS
Group Appeals to County
Education Board for
Help in Effort

A committee of Middleburg citizen,
appeared before the Vance Board ~
Education this afternoon and asked
assistance of the board in an effort
to obtain Federal funds toward an
addition to the Middleburg school
building. No specific amount Of
money was fixed as to what the pro,
posed improvements would cost.
A project of this kind was under.
taken several years ago at the time
the CWA was in operation, but it fell
through when the CWA was aban.
doned for another form of Federal rc-
lief appropriations.
Increased facilities are declared to
be greatly needed at the Middleburp
school, and the committee that an.
peared before the board today was
anxious to have the matter gotten I'M
der way as soon as possible SO as to
know just what could be done
1t has been many years since the
Middleburg building was enlarged
and all the time the enrolment of
the school has been on the increase.

AUTO L|CENSESUP
1878 IN 6 MONTHS
Total Is 1919 Against s.
621 First Half 1886;
License Halved

North Carolina State automobile Ii
censes sold at the local branch Of
flee of the Carolina Motor Club num-
bered 1919 during the first six
months of 1887 as compared with g.
621, a gain of 1 .518, Miss Nell Jordan,
manager of the office, announced to-
day.
At the same time, she said, sales
on July 1, the first day the half-price
license fee for the year became eff
fective, were % as compared with
48 on the first day of the second half
year in 1886. She accounted for this
by reason of the rush for licenses
just before July 1 to avoid the in
creased sales tax that became effec-
tive as of that date. The last State
legislature increased the maximum
sales tax on automobiles from $40 to
SIS, effective July 1, this year.
Increased sale of motor licenses for
the first half of the year is considered
an indication of the better financial
position of the public in general re-
flecting a greater ability to own cars
than for several years in the past.

London, July 6.-(AP)- Foreign
Secretary Anthony Eden indicated tc
the House of Commons today a pos
sible compromise in, Europe's Span
ish neutrality deadlock, saying tn.
British would consider "any other
proposals which are just and fair
The deadlock finds Britain and
France on one side, and Germany and
Italy on the other, unable to agree on
methods for continuing further at
tempts to isolate SPANS year old
civil war.
The newest international repercus-
sion of that conflict found British
warships standing alongside a British
freighter near Santander, Spain, to
protect her from capture by Span
ish insurgent ship.
Eden said full session of the 27-
member non-intervention committee
was to be held Friday and "this
should allow time for reflection on
the seriousness involved"
This was taken to mean Germany
and Italy might reflect" with a view
to modifying their present demands.
