From the opening OF the Far to its
close, the five acres will be in bloom,
with one seasonal batch of flowers
following Immediately on another.
There will be a Tulip Week, and an
Iris Week, and a lot of other kinds OF
Weeks. There will be familiar flowers,
and flowers SO rare that they have
never even been seen before in this
country Including thirty-three varie-
ties OF tulips. not yet introduced, for
which the bulbs were sent in sealed,
bonded containers by the tulip growers
Of Holland.
The whole show, to repeat, will be
Stupendous.
If you should go in tulip time, and
should happen to see an enormous soft
rose and beige tulip, with rich fuchsia
lights and ood-brOwn shadows, and
with Slight tinting of bronzy yellows
at the extreme edges, that would prob
ably be the Mrs Harold Irving Pratt,
SO named in her honor But if you
should miss that particular tulip,
don't feel badly. Just look at any
flower in the show - or the show in
general. That will honor her enough.

Sarah Anne wrote her resigna-

You know, with a dab Of whipped

and I'm making a living for myself
from now on"
Sarah Anne leaned forward from
the stool on which she sat. "But
why?"
Remember the day barged
out of your house saying I'd be
back, then didn't come? That's
when it started. I thought dad
would advance me some money for
Corrinne's bail. He'd always come
through before-the time I smashed
up a car and the year was kicked
out of prep school because our fra
ternity damaged an old barn. Any
way, he never had failed me, so I
thought now when really needed
his help, he'd come through" He
finished simply: "He didn't"
"That was fine, Bob. But maybe
he had a reason. He doesn't know
us well. And the bail was ar
ranged"
She knew, though, that the boys

In the Sir -yaiLer Hotel.

Raleigh, July 10.-There has been
little expression of dissatisfaction
among WPA workers here OF the
longer hours imposed by new regu-
lations effective July 1. The one
group which is most seriously ef-
fected has perhaps complained less
than any others That is the Federal
Writers Project group.
Coming in the highest paid brack-
cts, these workers have drawn a
minimum of $66 a month for 40
hours work. They will get the same
pay for 130 hours, which reduces
the hourly rate more than for any
other classification of WPA workers.
However, as explained by George
Laurence Andrews, supervisor of
the Raleigh district in the Federal
Writers Propect, the writer's do not
mind, as few of them every worked
by the clock anyhow That sort of
creative work is not susceptible to
hour regulation, and most of the
writers had put in far more than
the 110 hours which they reported
for the payroll.
Common laborers, many of them
drawing as low as $28 or $50 a
month for 40 to 100 hours will find
their pay cut less in percentage than
any others, but such complaint has
been heard has come largely from
this classification.
There is in this immediate section
no probability of strikes or serious
difficulty, and state WPA officials
do not anticipate serious trouble any
where in the state. One or two
points have reported dissatisfaction
among skilled workers, but it is not
expected to reach anything like the
states.

had forbidden an engagement to
the minister's younger daughter,
but Sarah Anne knew that. Mr..
Ransom would have other plans for
his only son. Moreover, he would
strive to win his favor again.
Bob was mixing two icy, frothy
fruit drinks, and now he pushed
one toward her.
Sarah Anne raised her glass. "To
everyone in trouble, and that in
cludes nearly everybody"
When she reached the parsonage,
she learned that Bob Kennedy had
been there to make his farewells
and had caught the afternoon train
east. There were three white ORCH
ids in a round gray box which had
come for her after the train pulled
out.
Orchids-only one word was
scrawled carelessly on the accom-
panying card: "Bob."
She looked at her father and
smiled. "That engagement of ours

her about the conversation. Cor

everyone out of the upstairs while

Sarah Anne pretended to eat din
ner. She remembered that her COL
lege course met tonight. Shs had
attended such a few times. She
would go tonight go, because she
wanted to do something.
She dressed carefully in sum-
mer crepe of black silk. The skirt
was full and short. She fastened
a purple scarf around her slim
waist and pulled her sheerest hose
over her slender legs. Black SAN
dals, the black scrap of ribbon that
had been her spring hat, white
gloves and an envelope bag, and
she was ready.
She looked into the mirror curl
ously. She hadn't changed since she
left the superintendent's Office and
that was strange. Yes, her eyes
were smoker, and her nose tilted
absurdly, as though it laughed at
something in world where there
was little laugher-nothing to in

The classroom grew quiet when

But she must expect that. Then
she heard the instructor saying:
