Plan Continuing School Lunch
Room Project For 1889 Tern,

AT the years final meet of Har-
ris School PIT. A. Wednesday at
the School Auditorium, Rev. Joe
Tolle asked the Association as
one of the sponsoring bodies of
the Lunch Room Project to
send committee to W.P.A. au-
thorities in the near future as
preparatory to securing similar
project for the next school term.
The PIT. A. group agreed to do
so. The project for next year will
be simpler than this term, Rev.
Tolle, general chairman, said. Last
year complete equipment was in
stalled in the Harris and Division
Street Schools, but now that this
is ready for use next year, all that
is required to start operations
again is to supply funds for food
and minor equipment. The W.PA.
will furnish labor needed. Due
to the length of time for govern
ment approval of projects, appli-
cati6p for tbs project should be
made as soon as possible, Rev.

JOLT
A love story with surprise ending
by Faith Ellen Smith

when Charles waited for her at Ye Olde Cop
per Kettle, and. because he waited, whatever
the weather, the day was bright.
She'd saved her money and Charles. after
the long financial drain of his mothers illness
and death. had begun to save his. 1t would be
only matter of months now before she could
give up her position, become housewife,
and in time, she hoped. a mother. She would
miss Doctor Taggart and he, no doubt. would
miss her. If for no other reason he'd miss
having her at hand to worry about in his
typical mans way - to study as an interest
ing specimen. and analyze as impersonally as
if she were someone's detached appendix.
Nut" she thought Hes always had just
one idea in the back of his mind. and he knew

Take your time. he said. Again she had
the feeling that there was something he felt
he should say and did not. Then he turned,
picked up his Bag and went out. Anna Alt
meyer, gray and almost sixty. worked for
Doctor Hollister. the dentist. When Cynthia
knew that she was going to be gone for con-
siderable time, the Atmeyer took over her
calls.
May wrapped the river, the hills, the small.
neat city. in lush spring beauty. The sky was
deeply blue and cloudless. but from the woods
on the hill came the persistent. melancholy
note of robins calling for rain. "Wednes-
DAYS so apt to be stormy" Cynthia thought.
There had been seven years of Wednesdays,

hat -. She laughed, but to her own ears her
laughter had a sound of hysteria. She'd tease
him when she showed him her own new hat.
Il hear you're fashion expert, Charles.
Tell me what you think of this!' No, better
say nothing. Better let him tell her about it
in his own way. Surely by this time he'd have
remembered that it was Wednesday. She'd
hurry back to the office and wait for him to
telephone.
She sat at the desk and greeted patients
as they came in and wrote their names neatly
and efficiently in the order of their arrival,
on her pad. She answered the telephone, with
her heart quickening its beat at each sound
of the bell, and told people who were not
Charles that the doctor would be in at any
moment and offered to take message. She
turned on lights, when the patches of sky
beyond the windows began to be darkened
by clouds. She seemed to stand, watching a
figure in familiar uniform, moving about
the familiar room, doing all these familiar
things. The figure wasn't herself. She was
standing alone somewhere in space. wonder

- - new hat with its frivolous
lrill of veil Doctor Taggart grinned
and said, "Um-hum Wednesday, |
see!" and she blushed like ninny.
What do you mean - Wednes-
day."
The fine raiment. The eyes like
stars. The oh, so tender smile. How
does the priceless Charles come to
rate devotion like that over period
of - my Heavens! It's seven years
or more. How does mortal man
do it,"

you should know
Il could never make dent on your
heart, though, could T." he said.
Tell me ="
She had got her clean uniform and
cap from the closet and started for
the washroom to change. Looking
back over her shoulder she saw him
watching her with sudden serious
ness in his darkly handsome face.
She said witheringly, You - Casa
nova" and closed the door between
them.
so he couldn't make a dent on my
heart" she thought as she removed
athe new dress and slid the linen apron
over her head. "Oh couldn't he!' She
remembered how she'd been only a
little over seventeen nine years ago.
when her father had died and she had
come to work for him. Very young,
very romantic. a girl who, until the
collapse of the family fortunes, had
vaguely expected storybook prince
to ride out of the nowhere on white
horse and marry her. A girl with a
background of happy, protected
childhood.
He had been twenty-five and al
most as handsome as he was today.
She could smile about it now - be-
cause Charles had come in time. But
it hadn't been funny then. If she
hadn't been brought up with high
principles and ideals he would have
swept her off her precarious balance
without doubt. Almost he had
swept her off it, until that party at
Ruth Hamiltons, when someone
introduced Charles to her -.
She thought, I'VE were like three
people in a play. The hero. The viii
lain. And me!'' And - Dear
Charles. she thought, with a glow
of grateful warmth around her heart.
Dear, decent, shy Charles' She re-
\ membered that Charles had waited a
year to speak of love. and then his
declaration had come embodied in
proposal of marriage.
Putting on her white cap, she
noticed the faintest beginnings OF
crows feet at the corners of her eyes.
Twenty-six wasn't old, certainly,
but it wasn't exactly young. Lately,
when the boss became serious, as he
had this morning, the probability was
that he was going to say something
which implied that! How long are
you going to drag out this engage
ment, anyway? Why don't you marry
the bird if you're ever going to?
What's he waiting for - to have tn
mony performed with both of you il
chairs? know he had his mother to II
for, but she died two years back.

sport. He's been kind and consider

working and fighting together all
these years. His life and mine have
been mixed up together for longer,
even. than I've known Charles"
Ye Olde Copper Kettle was full of
antiques, candlelight and atmosphere.
but empty of Charles. Across the
way the building of the Raynor Rug
Company, for which he was account
ant, looked with blank windows on
the sunlit street. She might 60 over
and meet him, but Charles would not
like that. He took his business seri-
ously and did not welcome Interrupt
tions during business hours. He'd
be here in a moment. She'd better
make sure of table.
She sat at their favorite table near
the fireplace and waited. keeping her
eyes on the window. A waitress
hustled up with a menu. but she
waved it aside and sat with the oh,
so tender smile softening the firm
line of her lips.
Between the ears of dry, bleached
corn that decorated the window, she
could see the noontime crowd pass
ing along the street, but no Charles
among them. He was methodical
person. 1t wasn't like him to be late.
She began to worry and, stirring
restlessly, dropped her gaze to the
tablecloth. 1t had not been changed
since the last patrons departure and,
looking at it. she struggled for mo-
ment with sense of unreality "a
conviction that she was losing her
mind. For someone who, like Charles,
had a habit of lightly marking table
cloths with a pencil, had so marked
this one. And the squares, the curli-
cues, the small. neat, accountants
figures, had almost certainly been
traced there by Charles hand!
She looked around for him second
time, and the waitress came back.
"Oh. say, your boy friends been and
gone," the waitress said. Il didn't
know you when you first came in, in
that hat. They got here early and left
about five minutes before you came.
Can l bring you anything?"
Cynthia ordered a sandwich and
cup of coffee and told herself it was
silly to feel upset. You couldn't
blame Charles if. once in seven years,
he forgot that it was Wednesday
particularly when for weeks the pres

made him absent minded and forget

her telling him about hat and ask
ing him to come and look at it,
Cynthia managed to say Thank

with her mind reeling. Jealousy was
a mean emotion, and she would not
indulge it. And Charles - why,
Charles was truth and loyalty itself.
He was with some relative. of course
