RELEASED BY CENTRAL PRESS ASSOCIATION

- He nad 20 confer with MS con-
tractor about final construction
work. The paint had run out, and
he had to sign orders for more.
Ellen needed his advice about her
rock fireplace. A stream of de-
tails.
Two truck loads of furniture ar
rived from Los Angeles on the
next day, and one load from
Phoenix.
"I didn't know you'd been to
Phoenix" Ellen said. what did
you get there?"
"Draperies. Table cloths. Nap
kins. Aprons. And Navajo rugs"
"Bill! Did you, really?" Ellen
was incredulous. "You think of
everything!"
'I should have made you get the
Grapes. But you ordered me to
furnish the house. You can send
it all back for exchange, if you
like"
Unpacking the Phoenix boxes
and crates had all the zest OF
Christmas morning. Bill had been
doing some thorough inquiring. A
young manager of department
store in Phoenix, Bill had learned,
was gifted with a rich imagination
as well as a keen business sense.
In collaboration with a cattle
rancher and his wife, this mer-
chant had created an extraordi-
nary new set of fabrics, which
were just now on display.
"O-o-O-oh, Bill" Is
Ellen's rhapsody was inspired
this time by a bolt Of dusty-tan
material imprinted with a pattern
of dark brown cattle brands.
The M Bar v was there. And
the 7UP, the Quarter Circle u, the
TT, the Lazy Y, the Oh Bar, the
101, the RIM, the Arrow and Hat,
the Double Triangle, the Diamond
Dot, the Cross S, the 666. A hum
dred or more half-size reproduc-
tons of famous cattle and horse
brands-representing the heraldry
of the range-had been stamped
into a thick piece Of goods with
excellent design and color har-
nnOny.
'I got a bunch Of old branding
irons I picked up in Tucson" Bill
drawled. my idea was to hang
them over the windows for cur
tain rods, and you can hang this
stuff for the curtains"
One solid piece Of goods four
yards long and four feet wide was
a bright orange-red, and all
around the edges was an appliqued
frieze Of green cactus, century
plants, mesquite trees, Mexicans
with burros and carts, cowboys
throwing lassos at steers, Indians
and wigwans.
For the dining room," Bill ex-
planned. II bought a table to fit
this cloth. Or vice versa. It's
handmade. And say Ellen-you
see all that big blank red space in
the middle. Well, when friends
dine with us-dine with you-on
this cloth, they are to write their
names on that space somewhere
with a pencil. Then you can cro-
Chef over the writing, or have Con-
cepcion do it, and have you a
swell memory cloth. See ?"
Ellen nodded, looking up at, him
with violet, tear-touched eyes.

ing the cloth and the dranerv mo
terlal. The tears were a f1ow &c
happiness, and she was not con-
sclous of them, only of the heavsn
ly tightness in her throat.
Even so she had to smile q bit

any other home loving girl would
do.
She got out the napkins, which
matched the cloth but which were
less ornate. She found more bolts
of window Grapes, in a differenf
color combination and a different
set of brands. And she found the
most colorful peasant style Span
ish aprons that could possibly be
imagined-gay things with droll
cartoons of lazy, sleeping Mexicans
embroidered on them, or of lack
rabbits with huge ears and wear
ing larger Mexican sombreros. or
Of a senorita being serenaded bv
an extremely fat Mexican man.
Bill left her with her feminine
things, went on about the mvriad
other details that confronted him
Ellen was happy all that dav. so
supremely so that it hurt Bill to
see her, although he couldn't say
why.
Toward shutdown some of the
friskier horses broke down a gat.
to their corral and dashed off
around the slope of the mountain.
Bill, mounted himself at the mo-
ment, gave chase. They took him
on quite a long run, and it was
more than half an hour later
well into the darkness, when he
headed them back home and saw
Pablo Rivera take them in charge.
Finding himself in a contempla-
tive mood, Bill then turned his
horse up the slope Of a hill and
climbed for several minutes, event
ually coming to the crest. Some
thing about heights always pleased
him, exalted him.
"Whoa, Chief" he murmured,
and sat resting there in his sad
die, slurnped comfortably to one
side. He could see many miles
through the night. He looked away
off to the westward, then newt
ably turned his gaze down.
There a thousand feet or more
below lay the new Dale-Durango
ranch. There in that house-al-
ready lighted now in several win
dows-he knew Ellen Dale was
busy working, planning, dreaming.
The lights and the campfres at
that distance were sparkling
jewels.
He stared. down at them hong
while. A tremendous loneliness
had suffused him.

Manners
of the
Moment

HAVE you ever had to be go-between
with two people who aren't on
speaking terms with each other?
They're mad-you can't figure out
why. So, instead Of talking to each
other. they turn to you and say, Tell
her she's half-baked and doesn't know
what she's talking about" and Tell
him he's got to apologize before I'll say
another word to him"
It's not as though either Of them
were deaf. It's bad enough to have
to be go-between for two deaf
people, neither of whom will talk loud
enough for the other to hear. But
you can stand that. After all, it's an
infirmity and not just pure meanness
on their part.
But these temperamental couples!
The only thing to do when they start
using you as a backdrop for all the
missiles they throw at each other. is
to close your ears and slip quietly out
the back door. Since they really aren't
talking to you at all, they'll never
notice. And when you see them again
they will be billing and COOLING
in fact. much more ardently than If
you tried to play good Samaritan.

10 MANY fascinating toiletries
came to our attention in the days
before Easter that We couldn't
possibly mention them all at
once. and expect to be talking about
them for some time to come. One of
the very delightful ones is a particu-
larly alluring bath oil with a sophisti-
Gated fragrance that is a teammate

suggested as the perfect complement
for black clothes, and as an expression
of the utmost in chic.
1t comes in black crystal hour
glass bottle with ball stopper. Only
a few drops of it in the bath water
will give the body a delicious fra
GRANGE that will linger on for hours.
Many people do not realize how de-
lightful bath oil may be. and it is
not an extravaganza, either, when
such little goes long way.
Bath oil may be used in other ways,
also. At the crook of the elbow, where
moisture is likely to gather. is a
strategic SPOT for one drop. or you
may even put drop or two on your
boudoir lamp bulbs to diffuse a sweet
ness through your room as the light

That he is bestowing favor on

The situation is more than Just skin

more than their usual stint of bathing
at this time Of year. OF course, they'll
swallow loose fur. It'll form little
wads inside of them. These fur balls"
will be taken care of naturally if
they're not too big. Kitty needs plenty
OF grass. OF course. the best thing is
a good brushing at frequent intervals
The idea Is to remove all loose hair
before it can be swallowed Wet the
hands and run them over kitty's coat.
The amount of fur that's coming out
will be a surprise
