SO quickly as seeing lot of him.
She had the little girl round often, giving
her small tasks to do about the house On
sunny autumn morning she sent her out into
the fields to gather mushrooms. For" she
said, 'the doctor does dearly love them in his
beefsteak pie"
The sun shone Dahlias were glory in the
doctors garden Blackberries glimmered from
every hedgerow.
But of mushrooms there was never one.
"Oh. Lorna" laughed the doctor, when she
came back empty handed. "If you really loved
me- you would find me mushrooms
He had said as much to his ''out patients,
and all it resulted in was one mangled speci-

the latent powers of concentration in Lorna

She arose next day at four, and took her

came to damp field by river, that the world

She was envied and respected, but nobody

heard this, and pitied. She took up the tools
and finished the piece off in secrecy behind a
screen so that no one would guess. When the
time came, she sent it in with the now con-
valescent Mr.. Parchment S address.
He got the first prize, gold medal, and the
cash award. The only parts of the work that
came in for any criticism whatever were those
indubitably done by Mr. Parchment himself
before he was taken ill.
Lorna walked on air, for surely, she thought
this would draw them together as nothing
and delight.
1t all worked out otherwise Mr. Parchment
behaved as if it really we're his carving He
put on airs and took all the credit to himself.
He got better paid job somewhere else on
the strength of his gold medal, and never
spoke to Lorna again.
Men are unkind, and curiously planned,
thought Lorna Each man kills the thing he
loves, and each woman evidently does like

things that never quite got home to slower
minds. She was always trying laborously to
explain something that to her was so simple,
so plain. Don't you see.' she would cry.
"Don't you see'''
They never did. They stared at her as kline
stare over country gates at passing cars.
Miss Maladise had long ago ceased to care
She expected nothing of Fate She took what
came and made the best of it, and usually
got a laugh out of it. This New York trip, for
instance. She knew quite we'll why they had
sent her. Toby wanted to get her out of the
way for bit and have his office to himself.
Ever since her scheme for reorganization had
been accepted instead of his, amidst howls of
applause and grateful letters from share
holders he had hated her like an officer and
gentleman. When someone had to go to New
York to inspect the new branch there, he put
her name forward at once
How magnanimous, said everyone But not

laughed, it hurt her She knew that but little
more. and she would have started adoring
Toby with all the excessive zeal she had

She was older and wiser, she said
1t would have been easier if he had not had
such a darling pig headed chin. If he hadn't
had such dear quick mind He was the only
person she had ever met who understood what
she meant first time

She never noticed anything, any lessening
of delight or abatement of zeal at the doctor s
house. She was very single minded child
She kept her eye on her goal and did not ad-

1t was not until this had been going on for
three weeks that she came with ner offering

it didn't.
There was the affair of the wood-carvng

Lorna Maladise unfurled her table napkin
and looked about her. She had no premonition
whatever of having come to a turning point
in her life. She was bored with the American
trip anyway She had not wanted to come
From earliest childhood she had suffered
frightful disability. She was far too efficient.
Looking back. it often seemed to her that her
whole life was but repetition of that painful
episode of the mushrooms

they had everything planned out. They would
work together for their home. He was an
architect, busy with plans for competitive
design for St. Kildas which he knew he would
get. After that he would be made man.
Lorna who had always had an aptitude for
carving, decoration and color, decided to be an
interior decorator. Then they could work in

been left to her But one day director of
Peter Foines. Ltd, came across one of her
designs. The salary he offered her was so as
tonishing that she felt embarrassed about
telling Mickie. 1t seemed so unfair she should
make so much more than he did.
From Foines she went on to the decorating
department of big shipping company. There
she still was. She had risen from the bottom,
to be head of her department. She was a four
fgured-salary woman. Magazines wrote
articles about her, with photographs.

one whatever His plans did not win the prize.

Program Formulated
To Achieve Purposes
OF Parole System
National Conference
Adopts Plan Of
Stephens Committee

A program "for parole fully to
achieve its purpose" and a request
that President Roosevelt create an
advisory committee to encourage
improved parole administration
throughout the country today stood
as the result of the first national
parole conference, which ended q
two-day session yesterday.
Climaxing discussion by repre-
sentatives of Federal and State Gov
ernments and laymen and women
interested in this subject, the con-
ference at the final session in the
Departmental Auditorium late yes
terday adopted the program pre-
pared by a committee headed py
Justice Harold M. Stephens of the
Court of Appeals for the District,
who said it represented the judg-
ment of students of this phase of
criminal justice administration from
many fields.
Non-P0litical Rulings Urged.
Recognizing the frequent criti-
cism that politics is hurting the
State parole system, the committee
led the program with the declaration,
that "the paroling authority should
be impartial, non-political, profess
Slonally competent and able to give
the time necessary for full con.
sideration of each case"
Other salient features urged are:
Sentencing and parole laws that
endow the paroling authority with
broad discretion in determining the
time and condition of release.
That the period of Imprisonment
be used to prepare the individual
vocationally, physically, mentally
and spiritually for return to society

Economy in Meat.-In buying a

a large one and cut off several
chops for the first meal. The roast
will keep for several days in a
mechanical refrigerator.
Polishing Towels.-Towels in
tended for polishing glassware Oft
en- shed tiny particles of fluff. To
avoid this, they should be washed
in the ordinary way and then
rinsed in a very thin solution of
starch.
Washing Knitted Substituted
suits should be handled carefully
after they are washed. Wrap them
in a Turkish towel for several
minutes-to get rid of part of the
moisture. Then lay them on a
clean, dry cloth or towel until they
are dry. Never wiring or twist
them-that is likely to break the
fibers.
