Davy hated the name olive" and
it was easy for him to conjure a
distasteful picture of his cousin.
1t was equally easy for him to imag-
inc the reputation he'd gain among
his playmates when they found him
associating with a girl. Oh, life was
hard at this point, but ice skates
are ice skates.
Olive and her mother arrived two
days later. Olive had golden curls
! and blue eyes and warm, friendly
smile. The first time she looked at
him the picture of distaste which
Davy had conjured was dissipated
as completely as the first warm sun
dissipates the ice on Millers Pond.
Davy's gang had never considered
it masculine to associate with men,
bers of the opposite sex, but, holy
smokes, thought Davy, this was be-
cause they had never seen a men,
ber of the opposite sex who even
remotely resembled Olive.
The day after Olive arrived Davy's
mother held party to which most
of the neighborhood children were
invited. To Davy's dismay he dis
covered that the gang members
shared his feelings toward Olive.
They fought to be near her, to dance
with her, to wait on her. Davy was
disgusted to realize his gang could
display so much interest in girl.
Not only disgusted but annoyed.
And more annoyed still when he saw
that Olive liked the attention she
was getting. He couldn't under
stand what a girl like Olive could
see in boys like Butch Dixon and
Ribby Flake and all the others.
She Understood.
If Davy had continued thinking
along his original lines, to the effect
that Olive was going to be an OBJ
stacle in his daily routine, these
fears would have been allayed the
next day. For Olive proved to be
an understanding soul. She real
lied, she said, that boys didn't like to
have girls hanging around and for
Davy not to think about her, be-
cause she could entertain herself.
This was disconcerting and left
Davy no alternative but to seem
appreciative. She had brought a
pair of skis with her. She got them
out and climbed the hill behind the
house. and Davy, to whom skiing
was still novel sport, was amazed
at the exhibition she gave.
Even so, he might have left her
alone except for the fact that 10
minutes after she had appeared on
the hill Butch and Ribby and three
other boys appeared. Resentful, see
ing an excuse to play a mild role OF
hero, Davy mounted the hill and
ordered the other boys off, allow
ing that Olive wanted to be alone.
But Olive only smiled warmly. "Oh,
no. It's nice to have Butch and
Ribby and all the others here" she
said And you, too, Davy, OF course"
During the week that followed
Davy found himself battling not for
Evening star., 1939-02-09

why Olive was interested In Butch
and Ribby. She, like him, realized
that cousins could never be more
than informal and casual.
Three more days passed. Davy
was maddened by the sight Of Butch
and Ribby monopolizing and bask-
ing in the warmth of olives smile.
She seemed to have forgotten Davy.
In fact, every one seemed to have
forgotten Davy. He was left to
suffer in solitude, and he found the
task almost unbearable.
Birthday Packages.
On the fourth morning Davy
awoke and came down to breakfast
to discover two packages at his
place at the table Both were large,
though widely different in shape.
His birthday! Davy's heart
leaped and then was quiet. Even
birthdays to one in his condition
could not allay the pain in his heart.
Pretending an eagerness that he did
not feel he opened the first package,
and a momentary warmth of feeling
ran through him at sight of the ice
skates that reposed therein.
He managed to put some genuine
feeling in his exclamation of de-
light, then opened the second pack
age. 1t was long and slim, and he
knew before he had half the wrap
ping off that 1t was hockey stick.
Attached to the handle was card.
Davy blinked at it. The card stated
definitely in an unfamiliar and
childish hand that the stick was
gift from Cousin Olive.
Davy didn't know until later that
Olive had saved from her small per-
sonal allowance to buy the stick. He
found himself cropping for words to
express even a fraction of what he
felt. Then he blurted: Gee! If only
you wasn't my cousin, Olive!"
Olives eyes widened. Then her
Evening star., 1939-02-09

warm smile flashed. "Why, Davy,
I'm not! Your mother and mine
are just close friends. We call them
auntie and each other cousin, but
we're not related at all. I thought
you knew!"
Olive stayed four days longer, and
during that time Butch and Ribby
didn't rate q thing. Dave carried
Olives bag to the railroad station,
and when he took her hand to say
good-by he felt all choked up in
side. Watching the train pull away
through misty eyes he decided that
he guessed he'd be a hermit after
all-until next summer, when he
had promised to visit Olive during
vacation.

made him ineligible to be her hus-

Poppy Sale
Big Success

/ would like to take this oppor-
tunity to thank the people of the
community for their liberal con-
tributions during the sale of the
American Legion poppies Satur-
day. May 27. 1t was by far the
best sale we have held in Coolidge
and it would not have been pos
sible to put it over in such a big
way without the cooperation of
the friends of the American Legion
and the American Legion Auxiliary
I want to especially thank the
high school girls and the Cub
Scouts who helped with the sales.
It was their enthusiasm and their
knowledge of a very worthy cause
that helped make the sale the
success it was.
Perhaps it would be wise to
again tell the Community just
where the money from our poppy
sales goes. The poppies are made
by the disabled veterans. For each
poppy made, the veterans receive
one penny and that means a. lot in
their lives. Twenty per cent of
the money received from our poppy
sales goes to the State Department
of the American Legion Auxiliary
to be used for rehabilitation work
in the state. The remaining eighty
per cent is used by the local
American Legion Auxiliary for re-
Mobilization work here in this
community.
I wish to thank you, also, for
the disabled veterans, who will re-
ceive the benefit of your liberal
contributions.
