stop me. Herew She yanked off
her negligee, tossed it toward her
visitor, who still sat as if in a
trance.
"Why don't you get started?"
Connie scolded. Someone will be
sure to come. You don't know this
place, no privacy never let
you alone. There isn't anyone
who'll care if you send word you
had chance to go away, is
there? No one who would inter-
fere?"
"No, there no one" the girl
said. Mechanically, as though
moved by the inward fire that
drove Connie, she had begun to
unlace her shoes, peel down her
hose.
"Goodw Connie said. 1--WE can

Connie was hooking the girl

slim waist.

still moved as smnambuhst
might, half awake, half dreaming.

ME murmured. Why, even the
shoes fit perfectly! This was the
craziest, the most daring, the
most exciting idea she had ever
had. And Connie had had plenty
Of ideas. "It's 264 feet long, has
a crew of AZ men, and cost ST.
250,000."
The girl sat down again.
Don't do that!!n Connie re-
primanded. Pull on my neghgee,
climb into my bed-and stay in
it as long as you like-and dash
off that letter for me to drop in
box to your family"

besides Grandma Wertz, who's

was the trouble, as l told Tom,

Romance should be secret. The
phrase vibrated within Connie,
seemed to strike some responsive
chord. Why, of course! That was
what was wrong with her ro-
nance. That was wha' was miss
ing. Romance should be secret,
or it was not romance, at all.
That was why it had all been
spoiled - that awful picture OF
her, clasped in Rodney's arms
Haunted across the front page Of
that paper, every quarrel, every
time thew patched it up, turned
into public property.
"It'n do him good--to worry
about me-" the other girl was say
ing.
1t would do Rodney good, too,
Connie thought, without the
slightest pang Of regret.
But you'd better get busy and
write your letter." the girl sug-
gested. She had climbed into the
big bed and settled herself
among the heaps of pillows, so
that now it might have belonged
to her, as we'll as to Connie and

PRESIDENTS T'SF|RST
ARTICLE APPEARS
Gives Views on Reform and
Recovery in Magazine
InstaIIment.

Emphasizing President Roosevelt's
oft-stated belief that reform and re-
covery must 60 hand in hand, the first
Of two instaliments of an abstract Of
his own story Of the New Deal, later
to appear in book form, today was
published by Liberty Magazine.
Embodying both an explanation and
defense of the course along which the
Government has been shaped since
1888, the President sets this as his
underlying principle:
consistently I have sought to
maintain comprehensive and effi-
cient functioning Of the representative
form of government in its modern
sense. Consistently I have sought
through that form of government to
help our people to gain large social
justice"
And for the future:
Recovery has come far and with
reasonable speed; reform has come
less far in the same period of time.
But reform Is just as important to
permanent security in the spring of
1898 as it was in the spring of 1888"
Describing the birth of the New
Deal, he says it meant "a new order
of things designed to benefit the great
mass Of our farmers, workers and
business men would replace the old
order Of special privilege in Nation
which was completely and thoroughly
disgusted with the existing dispensa-
ton"
Here, however, the New Deal COL
lided with old thought.
The administration was convinced
that inherent evils would have to be
eradicated to make recovery anything
more than transitory-that Ito pre-
serve we had to reform" Opponents
of this theory, the President writes,
did not realize how childish and
unrealistic it was to speak of recovery
first and reconstruction afterward.
This same vocal minority four years
later, when recovery is we'll under way,
still obstructs with all its power re-
forms now too long delayed, refusing
still to realize that recovery and re-
form must be permanent partners in
permanent well-being."
