if you decided to ditch him and go
society? Who'll take Mickey on his
vacation? If it had not been for that
question, which she couldn't put from
her mind, no matter how hard she
tried, Linda would have said yes i'm
mediately to Bills invitation.
And then, one day, Linda had de-
cided to take her problem to Mr.. Avon,
her fatherly advisor, as she had before
when she was sorely put for an ans
wer.
Mr.. Avon, at luncheon in the sand
witch shop, listened to the whole story.
"Hmmm," said Mr.. Avon when she
was finished. ut seems, Linda to
simmer down to this: Should you
spend your vacation with one young
man or the other? Your Mickey or
the young doctor. I take it that you
love both?"
"Oh, yes" Linda answered. Eyes
I do"
"Then the answer seems simple"
Mr.. Avon said. "Why not spend your
vacation with both? I can't think Of
a better opportunity to bring them
J together. You have to do it some day,
you know"
"Oh, no." Linda said quickly, II
couldn't do that-not yeti"
"How long do you intend to go on
with this young-this DR.. Blaine
without full understandings"
81 don't KNOW" Linda answered,
honestly I don't"
"Well, from what you've told me
of the two young men," Mr.. AVIAN
continued, 81 think I like Mickey much
the better. I know he's worthy of
you. AS for the other well I
guess I'll have to know him better"
"You wouldn't say that" Linda
flared, eff you knew Bill Blaine. He's
:. well, he's simply wonderful"
Hmmm, said the man in gray to
himself, is he, now? Funny he hasn't
told me the same about Linda =.
Mr.. Avon seemed to be no particular
help in solving this problem, Linda
thought. But, considerably later, Mrs.
Blauer was.
It was on an evening when she ar
rived to keep Mickey, during another
of Linda's endless string of dates with
Bill Blaine, that the neighbor woman
preached the subject.
"Linda, honey" Mrs. Blauer said,
"don't jump down my throat at what
Pm going to ask you, but I wonder
if you'd mind awfully if I took Mickey
with me for week or ten days at the
coast"
"Mind, darling?" Linda said. "Why,
I think it would be GRAND! But are
you sure he won't be a bother? He's
such little child"
"Bother?" Mrs. Blauer asked, as
though she didn't believe her ears.
GAS if my Mickey could ever be a
bother to anyone. Why, I tell you, I'd
miss him so much I wouldn't enjoy my
vacation-not bit-if I didn't have
him along with me. Why don't you
come, Linda? You know I have the
little cottage at Capitola that my Phil
built for us. There's plenty of room.
Phil and his family have finished their
vacation and"
"No, Bertha" said Linda, thank
you ever so much, though. I have
other plans"
And Linda, with the aid of Janice
Marberry and 10 Monroe, went right

again last week turned down a pro-
posed $4,000, $50 Federal grant toward,

The rejection Of the application
came as no surprise to advocates Of
the bridge who have long since aban@

to work on those "other plans"-plans
for a wonderful vacation with Bill
at the lake.
"Do you do you think I'm an
uttrely hopeless wretch to run away
from Mickey like that" Linda asked
Janice and 10 as they were planning
her composite wardrobe.
Don't be sill" 10 scoffed. "Why
Mother Blauer knows how to take
care Of him better than you do. He'll
be all right; it's yourself you'll have
to watch out for"
Janice said nothing.
Linda's clothes were limited; GER
tainly not the extensive, costly ward
robe of the society girl. Her mex
pensive, although smart, clothes would
look pretty shoddy against the ele-
gance displayed by Merry Blaine and
her girl friends. Linda reasoned
That's why she and Janice and Jo
got together Among them, they
managed to assemble nearly every
thing that the well-dressed young girl
would wear. Linda couldn't wear JOS
dresses-they were too large, but
she appropriated swank crinkly bath
ing suit, to fit any form, beach robe
and clogs. Janice and she were Of 9
size and Janice's wardrobe supplement
ed Linda's own.
Linda was particularly thrilled wher
Janice volunteered to loan her the
smart new beige and brown tweed
coat which was Janice's newest and
most cherished garment.
Neither Linda nor Janice knew
at that moment-the effect that the
loan of this coat was to have upon
both their lives. But it was fated
that it's effect should be tremendous
although neither could foresee it.
Linda was in the act Of slipping out
Of the suit when there came fran

had two men on her mind-two men
and boy. Her thoughts were divided
between those for DR.. Bill Blaine, who
was his old charming self after that
one night of moodiness, and for the
success of Steve's chance of winning
the national competition with his en-
try of the casa Linda" housing plan.
She and Steve, Linda told herself,
were now great friends-nothing
more-and she took a sisterly inter-
est in his progress in architecture. He
wasn't any longer the fresh young
man Of the roof-top meeting, but he
was Mickey's steadfast friend, and
Linda's, too.
Her permission for the use Of her
name, the "big favor" which Steve
had asked, was readily forthcoming.
On the bottom corner Of the big draw
ing, in tiny letters, she had initiated
"L. M" for LINDA Morton"
"That's your good luck CHARM" Lin
da had smiled.
ellis luck began, Linda" Aunt Gym
thia had said sagely, when he met
girl like you."
Bill Blaine and Steve were the men
on her mind-and Mickey was the
boy. With Linda's vacation only two
weeks away, she thought more and
more of Mickey, seeking to decide
what to do about vacation plans. She
had saved money enough for the two
of them to enjoy two weeks together,
inexpensively, at modest beach or
mountain resort. But new problem
had arisen to complicate things.
Bill Blaine had asked Linda, had
insisted, that she join him in a vaca-
ton at the Blaine summer place at
Lake Tahoe. The prospect thrilled
Linda beyond words, but Of course,
that meant no Mickey.
Linda never had been to Lake Ia
hoe and the prospect Of a glorious
vacation there with Bill and his
friends was delightful to contemplate
too delightful to reject without Civ
ing the question great consideration.
cts wonderful there, Linda" Bill
had said. You'll love the lake. And
you won't be lonely for feminine COM
pany if you find old William too Dor
ing. Merry will be there with whole
flock of her girl friends. Well have
great time"
Despite Bills urging, she had beg
ged off from giving a definite ans
wer. He said he would wait, but he
hoped she'd say yes.
It was the first overture Bill had
made toward having Linda meet any
of his family, and Linda thought the
opportunity was too good to miss.
Merry will be there, will she? I
wonder, Linda thought, if Miss Mere
dith Blaine will be any more cordial
to little Linda than she was the day
they first met, through Mr.. Avon,
in the sandwich shop?
"How DO you do, Miss Morton 2"
Merry had said.
Well, Linda would make Merry like
her-or else.

of conscience said, what about Mickey,

light, he spread a large roll OF draw
ing paper. With it were blueprlnts
and colored sketches Of houses, plans
and elevations.
"This," he said, "tells it better than
I cam"
Linda's eyes went from the draw
ing on the large paper to the neat
lettering at the top. It read:
CASA LINDA DEVELOPMENT
Housing Plan in One-Family
Units. Submitted by
STEVEN HUBBARD
Linda stared blankly at the paper
without understanding. There were
row upon row Of neat little bunga-
lows, staggered in location to con-
serve space without losing artistic
arrangements. Each bungalow had a
flagstone walk in the midst of shrub
dotted lawns, each had it's complement
of palms and shade trees.
Linda's glance sped from the large
drawing, quickly past the pile Of blue
prints, and came to rest on color
sketch of one Of the model bungalows
in the elevation. That she could ap-
preciate.
It was a perfect little livable home,
brides bungalow, if there ever was
one.
"Like it," Steve asked.
"Like it," she echoed. "Why, Steve
it's adorable"
So THAT'S why he could draw gin
gerbread houses and fairy castles for
Mickey? So that's why this garage
man had hands with long, artistic fin
gers. He drew dream houses that
people could live in.
"Come, young man." Linda said
you've been holding out on us.
What's it all about?"
And then Steve told her. All about
his hopes and dreams, his years of
studying architecture nights, while
he worked days to earn his living.
How Timothy Pflueger, the noted
architect, who planned buildings like
Titan Tower, had seen something in
Steve's work, had given him helping
hand, technical pointers and all the
assistance that Steve sought. And,
modestly, how Pflueger predicted big
things for Hubbard some day as an
architect.
Steve's expression, "my building"
was no longer a hollow phrase to
Linda. It meant everything to Steve
that some day he, too, would be able
to look up at building like Titan
Tower as his own work. Now, it
meant something to Linda, too.
"The name just seemed to fit, some
how" Steve explained. "Casa Linda
pretty house, in Spanish. And with
your name I know have luck on my
side. How can I lose?"
"You can't, Steven, you're not the
kind that loses," Aunt Cynthia said.

ed to give him money so he could
study-money that's no good to me
and that I can't take with me. But
the boys too stubborn-it's an old
Hubbard failing. He wanted to make
good on his own-and he will.
They're beautiful houses" she add
ed, "aren't they, Linda?"
beautiful" Linda said, softly.
But she wasn't looking at the draw
ings. She was looking at a pair of
sightless eyes and she was thinking
of something she had heard termed
"blind faith"

youths. but they escaped, and a
radio lookout was broadcast to all
Washington police cars.
The boys said they saw Wash

tempted to halt the speeding car,

NEWS OF THE MOTORING WORLD
A. A. A. Studies New Bill to Test Suspected Drunken Drivers:
Flowers and Safety Explained

Last week In this column was de-
scribed one Of the lesser known
activities Of the District OF Column
bia Motor Club Division Of the
American Automobile Association.
It related to an investigation now
being carried on by q special COM
mittee of the local advisory board
into charges Of shady financing.
Today describes the work of an
other committee of the advisory
board pertaining to proposed tests
to determine intoxication. The A.
A. A. stand against drunken driving
Is well known, but special commit
tee was appointed to study H. r.
3S08 bill introduced by Representa-
tive Reece Of Tennessee. This bill,
similar to one introduced into the
Senate by Senator Reynolds of
North Carolina, proposes the setting
up of some agency to determine
whether driver involved in an
accident or an arrest Is under the
influence Of alcohol. The proposal
might submit the driver to various
medical tests, such as breath, blood,
urine and spinal.
The bill now on the Hill Is short
In form and rather vague. While
the committee felt that such tests
might establish the guilt of a driver,
1t could at times also establish the
innocence, which in itself would be
of great assistance to all concerned.
But, at the same time, the commit
tee felt that 1t could not pass judg-
ment on the bill in its present form
without knowing more OF the facts
involved.
Therefore, the chairman of the
committee has written the following
letter to Col. william o. Tufts, one
of the sponsors of the bill, and the
one who asked the A. A. A. to pass
on its merits.
The letter to Col. Tufts, asking
further information, is as follows:
Your letter of May 2, 1899, was
referred to a special committee Of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton. of which the writer is chair
man. While the association con-
sistently favors legislation tending
to protect its members and the pub
lie from the menace of intoxicated
motor vehicle operators, the subject
matter Of the proposed act is so
large and the bill so inadequate that
the committee believes its passage
would be definitely harmful.
AS you state, there are a number
