CHAPTER vi

Miss Pennington always marveled
that her charge never wept, even in
childhood, but Sarah Lynn was cry
ing now, bitterly and uncontrolla-
bly,, salt tears running into her
mouth, shivering under her woolly
coverings.
In spite of the cold, the singing,
biting air, she was scared and shriv-
eled by the flame of Gunnar Thor
wald's scorn and contempt.
Keep away from me, drunken
fool!"
The hideous irony of it-Sarah
Lynn, ffat-tire in the mad tempo OF
fourth generation Danavale because
she would never take a drink! She
looked at his rigid shoulders, at the
relentless angle of the head in the
sternly classic helmet and absolved
him utterly. Why shouldn't he have
believed the worst of her, seeing
her there in that loathsome place,

"I'm not afraid!" she exulted.
'I'm not the least particle afraid.
! adore it. This won't be the last
time-I won't let it be. I'm going
to fly all my life. It's fun! It's
heavenly! It's the kingdom and the
power and the glory!"
There was a bump which threw
her forward in her seat, and then
they were humping along over a
field, terrestrial again, all glory
gone. They turned and drew up
presently in front of brightly lighted
buildings with big group of people
before them. An attendant came
running to meet them.
Gunnar Thorwald did not leave
his seat. He spoke through the
window.
"Thorwald, San Jose to Glen
dale"
"Gas?"
Nothing. I land a passenger" /"
Without looking round, he indicated

waved a beckoning arm. "Know
who that is?-Gunnar Thorwald!"
Sarah Lynn was aware of a gath
ering group as the plane took off.
"Can you feature that?" one of
the workmen said in a low tone.
"Just came down to dump her,
huh?"
"Yeah; threw her out like she was
a sack of mail"
"And look at herl What's the big
idea?"
A large and noisy element was
added to the crowd, pouring out of
the bright waiting-room, a man in
evening dress, girl in bridal cos
tune, half a dozen men and girls
with flowers and old shoes and rice
and confetti, all staring at Sarah
Lynn.
A man in the company's uniform
came up to her, touching his cap.
BEG pardon! Is there anything we
can do for you? Would you like a
taxi? I mean, where are you 60
ing?"
"To San Jose; to Danavale." She
turned round then, coming out of
her abstraction painfully aware,
suddenly, of the curious throng. Her
face famed. She gathered up the
blanket and shook it and tried to
wrap it around her.

The bride ran after her and
caught hold of her arm. "Say, lis

sweet voice, "are you in a jam?"

said stiffly.
"Well, is that nice? Throwing you

good old Morse custom?"

"Here-I'n show you'll" She picked
up her glistening train.
Sarah Lynn followed her. 'Is this
Fresno?"
'.Weu, for Pete's sake! Didn't you
know where you were landing? Yes,
this is Fresno, and here's your
booth. I'll wait for you."
"Thank you," Sarah Lynn said
coldly. "It's not necessary" She
looked fully at her for the first time
and took in the details of white

followed them and he said some
thing to her in a low tone. She
nodded. Don't shut the door, dear

turesque Winterhalter vogue is re-
flected in the styling of this very

den party frock, too) in one of the
fashionable printed Swiss chiffon or
CANDIES. A very fine lace pattern
ing in white stands out clearly
against deep navy blue back
ground. There is a full-cut under
skirt of white organdie to make the
frock stand out almost on ballet
skirt lines. The dininutive bolero
jacket worn over the drop-shoulder
bodice is finished with little ruff1es
of val lace laid on over the lace
print. .-... ...-....-
The material that fashions the
frock to the left is peach silk
mousseline. It is prettily styled with
vertical ruche-ruff1ing of self-fabric
outlining the skirt cores, the puffed
sleeves and there are ruffles about
the neck.
Hyacinth blue lace with touches of
cerise lace is used for the graceful
gown centered in the picture. It
was introduced at the Miami fashion
show and is one of those pleasing
types that carry on into new tri-
umphs for summer party wear.
One of its charms is that the lace
indicates stripes and striped effects
lead in the mode.
The printed chiffon frock to the
left gives a delightful Interpretation
of the slim silhouette for summer.
The patterning is spaced tulips in
blue, red, green and black on a
sheer white background. The gath
cred bodice suggests the Directoire.
Contrasting shades Of green and
blue silk make the girdle and sash
which forms a train. Flower brace
lets are worn with it and an enor-
nous poppy on the head instead Of
hat, which goes to show the in
triguing and unique ways in which
flowers now play their important
role in costume ensembling.

Sweden's People Nordic

Washington. - Even from Stone

archeologist of the University of Up

The oldest human skull found in
Sweden dates from somewhere be-
tween 5000 and 5000 B. c., and is
of the long and narrow shape char

type characteristic of central Eu-

Stone age Sweden, but the land re-

Ventriloquism

Voice cannot be produced by a
ventriloquist in the stomach or any
where except in the larynx. In ven
triloquism the speaker takes full
breath, keeps the muscles of the
chest, neck, lower jaw and lips as
motionless as possible, and speaks
with the mouth almost closed and
the glottis narrowed, not allowing
the air to escape through the nose.
The lower lip is slightly retracted
and rested against the upper teeth
and the tongue articulations are
greatly altered. Much of the decep-
ton depends on suggestion as to
the source of the sounds.

number should be increased to
300 over a period of approx

One nurse for every 1000 per.
sons is the recognized standard
in this service, he declared.

Three years ago, he said, before
DR.. George C. Rutland, District

special school unit, a full-time
nurse was attached to the Jeffer-
son school.
He further told the council
that a public health doctor has
been at the school only an hour

On the basis of his report, a
resolution was adopted asking for
an increase in the number of

At the present time, IS nurses

the public health nursing service

The meeting was also addressed
by Mrs. George Offutt, wife of
