have something very individual as
well as fashion-right. It's so easy;
a detailed sew chart comes with
each pattern. And you can wear
much prettier materials when you
sew your own-at big savings, too.
Afternoon Dress With Stirring.
Stirring is one Of the smartest
details you can choose-it's used
just this way in new and expen-
sive models-on the shoulders, to
give fullness over the bust, and at
the sides only of the skirt. Thus
your dress has animation and
grace, and yet the front and back
are plain and won't crush and
muss when you sit down. In dim
ity, wolfe, organdy, handkerchief
lawn or null, with a youthful tie
belt and frills of lace, this will be
the most fattering frock you own.
B0lerO Frock for Little Girls.
With or without the sleeveless
bolero, this dress is a perfect dar-
ling for little girls! It's so simple
and yet it has loads of style, with
its very pulled sleeves, very full
skirt, and little round collar. No
tice how short the bolero is-that's
the smart new kind. Make this up
in dotted swiss, dinity, organdy or
batiste, and trim it with ricrac,
irish edging, or linen lace. It's a

Largest Indian Market in World Is in
Guatemala; Traders Are Gayly Costumed

The plaza of Santo Tomas Chichi-
castenango, a village hidden far
back in the mountains of Guate-
mala, is the scene of the largest
and most deliberately costumed In
dian market in Central America. On
Thursdays and Sundays it draws
as many as 5000 traders and farm
ers from an area of several hum
dred square miles.
Mingling here on market days are
Indians from scores of villages,
each dressed in a different manner.
To the stranger it is dreamlike and
unreal. One has the feeling that
this is the opening scene of a new
opera; that presently trumpet will
blow, an orchestra will begin to
play and all these earnest people
will drop their bargaining to burst
forth in full-throated song!
Back of the gay trappings and the
romancing of visitors, however, the
workaday life of simple but in
dustrious people moves on. In long
rows the women squat on the hard
earth, their wares piled before
them. Some are protected from the
tropical sun by square cotton avn

than Indians elsewhere have had.
Consequently, they have retained
their self-respect and are neither
subservient nor cringing.

1t was his first impulse to run
to her swiftly. Suddenly, more than
anything in the world, he wished to
hold her in his arms, to comfort
her as though she were a little girl.
His flower, his Eulalia! Why, it was
because she was such a spirited,
fiery little thing that he had fallen
in love with her and married her.
And after he had married her, he
had spoiled her, and been away
from her too long; was her, fiery
spirit broken after these two long
months in the nonjera to which he
had sentenced her?
He sent messenger to her to
tell her to come to him as soon as
she was able.
For he could not trust himself to
60 to her.
And Eulalia, in the austere mon
jera, wept.
Suddenly, to her, nothing seemed
so desirable as to be in her hus-
bands arms, wherever he might 60,
whatever he might be.

ment of the Czechoslovak coun-

CHAPTER XVIII

Waiting restlessly for Eulalia to
come to him, Don Pedro rode out
to his vineyard in the bright spring
morning. He left his horse and
walked alone among the green
vines. Tenderly he looked at them,
admiring their robust growth, touch
ing tendril here, stroking glossy
leaf there. He knelt down on the
earth beside young vine and
picked a bit of soil up in his fin
gers, as was his habit.
Over him the sky was unusually
blue for this coastal region, and
the sun was high and hot. A little
in the distance he could see his
orchard, some of the trees in early
green, some still rosy with bios

BOOK SALESMEN VISIT CONVENT
Agents of JehOvah's Wit= nesses Make No Sale
 With Biased Writings

Members of Jehovah's Witnesses, recently in trouble with authorities in Bristol and New Britain over dis tribution of literature alleged to be libelous toward the Catholic chu. ch. visited Catholic convent and the rectory of Catholic church in Wa terbury during the past week or two 1t was learned today. At both places the members of the sect sought to play records on portable Victrolas, the records said to be of speeches by Judge Rutherford, head Of the sect, and to sell books and pamph- lets.
 No Action Taken
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach said today that the visits to the convent and rectory had been brought to his attention, but that no action had been taken. He said he had talked with woman Soli- citor for Jehovah's Witnesses since the incidents.
 In Bristol some weeks ago, it was ruled that the members of the sect must not attempt to sell their liter ature. Several hundred of Jeho- vah's Witnesses later gathered in the town and made demonstra- ton. In New Britain week ago, 37 members of the sect were arrested, but later released.
 Protest On Radio
 It is claimed that the books, all written by Judge Rutherford, con- tain scurrilous matter and down. right lies concerning the Catholic church and other religions. Several years ago local radio program presenting transcribed speeches by Judge Rutherford was withdrawn after protests by Catholic listeners.
