 But certainly, Madame" Henri replied promptly. He held brief conference with the head waiter; returned to their table. The lady's name is well known, Madame" he bowed elaborately Especially in our capital city - Washington. She is the widow of the late Charles Melrose."
 Charles Melrose!" Evelyn gasp ed.
 Even then that name held no significance for Jackie. She was only half listening anyway. She was wondering if Roger possibly could have seen her and pretended not to, though why on earth he should do such a thing "Yes, Madame" Henri bowed again. "She was famous for her beauty when she was Miss Beryl Davidson. And for other things. She was the young lady who won the long distance trophy at the Cleveland air-show. I believe Mrs. Melrose is exceedingly interested in aviation, Madame"
 That was when the full force of ] the shock hit Jackie. Naturally she was called to attention by any men ton of flying. Then she put two and two together rapidly. Why, that at tractive young girl was Rogers Mrs. Santa Claus! .,

graciously condescending smile. Did you hear that, darling?" she addressed Jackie. Why, Charles Melrose was one of the wealthiest men in the world! I believe this was his second wife - though presume she received all of his money, as the first was a divorce and settlement. He must have been much older than his young widow But how on earth did you suppose Roger got to know her?"
 Henri gave you enough of a clew," Jackie said. Instead Of losing that tense feeling it had ap- parently settled upon her even firmer. She could not imagine why Roger had not told her that Mrs. Melrose was so young and so pretty. Jackie had taken it for granted because he had said she was a wealthy widow that she would have hennaed hair and false teeth, or something like that.
 Mrs. Melrose is going to fi- nance Rogers stratosphere flight. That is if Roger is lucky enough to get his chance. Which I sup pose he will if, she is as impor- tant as Henri says she is." Jackie's tone almost sounded as though she hoped now that Roger would not get his big opportunity.
 Henri always knows how im- portant the people are who come to the Colony" Evelyn replied. That's the reason I reserve this table, my dear" She turned around deliberately in order to look again at Rogers companion. Then she leaned toward her daughter, lowering her voice, "Well, I only have one thing to say, dar- ling. If Roger was my young man, and I was engaged to him, I would not allow him to make any such flight. Not if such an attractive young woman was going to back him! Mark my word, Jacqueline, unless you put stop to it now, you may regret it all the rest of your life!"

All day long they chase the leaf con-

unaware Of as we go about in the
woods.
BY autumn. when the caterpillars
which have escaped have made their

1t was going to fit Lloyd Page. Lloyd
stood with the hat in his hand a

Aloud: TRY ON your hat, Lloyd"
"What?" said Lloyd.
1T didn't fit any of the Others
I've an idea it will fit you" He
watched Lloyd closely. Lloyd looked
at the hat.

No mistake. Lloyd Try it on"
Lloyd looked at his host a minute,
shrugged and tried on the hat. II it
had been two sizes smaller 1t might
have fitted.

weak. For the first time he realized
what a strain he had been under.

eh? Well, that complicated matters,
but it didn't discourage him. He'd

He stood in front OF the hall mirror,
glowering at himself, holding the

unconcernedly emptying ash trays.
Johnny could see her in the mirror.
She was lovely. He adored her. 1t
was like having a knife stuck in his
ribs to discover her infidelity. In 4

colored hat onto his own head. He
stared 1t his reflection, gaping. It it.

He turned slowly. Maryanne was
staring at him. She smiled.

it come from?"
Maryanne laughed and came up to
him. ITS your old one. Yesterday it
rained and you wore your grey, 30 had

Some bird lovers call the blue head
the solitary" His range is in the
Eastern part of North America, north
to Prince Edward Island, Keewatin,
Athabasca and Southern Mackenzie;
west to the border of the Great Plains.
The young birds are born southwark
from the plains to Connecticut, Penn

ters are spent in the Gulf States,
Cuba and southwark through the
eastern part of Mexico to Guatemala.
This handsome bird is early to ar
rive in the spring and has most
friendly attitude toward the world.
He is 5A inches long. The crown,
hind neck, sides of neck, ears, under
the eyes and cheeks are slate-colored.
Coat is olive green, under parts are
white. His eyes are deep brown and
his legs and feet grayish blue. The
youngsters resemble their parents, but
are slightly duller in color.
In April or May the blue-headed
vireo arrives in the wooded part Of
