that life could hold nothing else
like it."
SO she said, Hes poor and he
sings in a church choir"
Ken said, My Cod And you
sybarite! Well, if it isn't love that's
getting you thin around the edges,
it must be work. Why don't you
give it up for while?"
She hadn't thought Of that. She'd
only thought how long the days
and nights were, and that every
week she'd have to arrange her
schedule to be away from Will
loughby house when Bill Mallory
was to be at the clinic, that she was
finding it more and more difficult
to evade Ellen Chapman's invita-
tons. They had spent a great many
evenings together in the three
months she had been at the settle
ment house.
Three months! Her three months
were up, she realized suddenly.
The next day she made two long
distance calls: One to Nicky to ask
him if it was gay in Maryland, and
the other to her Uncle Mark to say
that she was coming down.
To Ellen Chapman she said,
"Well, Ellen, have I or haven't I
lived up to what you expected Of
me?"
Ellen said, You have, and 1 ex-
pected a lot, Fab. You've done Won
derful work here and the girls
adore YOU"
Fabienne looked brittle and gay
and imperviOus to f1attery. She
said, II always live up to my bar
gains. It's been three months. Re-
member?
Its gone quickly" Ellen said,
perplexity in her eyes.
Sometimes. Not always. But it
has been interesting and I'll always
remember you, Ellen"
What do you mean?"
I'm leaving," Fabienne said, as
if she expected the other girl to
understand. II said I'd work for
three months, now Tn through.
I'm leaving for Maryland Satur-
day."
"Fabiennew Fabienne wished
that Ellen wouldn't look as if she
were hurt. But what about the
children's play? You can't just
leave things in mid-air."
Sorry. They can do the play
without me. Goodby. Ellen"
The two girls shook hands, but
Ellen would not say goodby.
Fabienne left Willoughby house
with never a backward glance.

bow into Bill Mallory's-Dr. j. w.
Mallory's.
Now, because she had known
something else briefly, she knew
boredom for what it was.
The night Ned Webster's club
opened and Rose O'Day took New
York by storm with her torch sing
ing. Fabienne was there with Ken
Hemingway.
Rose ODay had magic in her
voice and she was singing from her
heart. Her voice was like a palpi-
tating heart held in your hand.
The mask was off Fabienne's cool
face as she listened.
Ken said softly, Il give up"
Fabienne drew her brows to-
gether questiOningly.
"Some other guy has got your
heart. It's all over your face, baby.
Who's the lucky guy?"
1t was Rose O'Day's singing that
did it. She played on Fabienne's
emotions. Fabienne dubbed over.
At least it was bubbling over for
Fabienne. She said, II met that
man that a girl meets once in a
lifetime-or, at least, he looked like
| that kind of a man-but when l
went to collect him, 1 found I'd be
poaching."
"Married?"
She shook her head.
"Engaged?"

She stopped him. '"There's no use
talking about it. It's lust out as far
as Pm concerned" There was no
point in trying to tell Ken why she
couldn't cut in on Ellen. She didn't
know why exactly herself. Other
girls she had known were not above
pirating when it came to men, but
Ellen wasn't like any other girl she
had known. Ellen had offered her
real friendship. It was more than
that. Ellen gave her something to
live up to, demanded as much as
she gave. Ellen would never do that
to her. Fabienne had her code, too.
She played opponents rules in fair
games.
She said, Forget it, Ken. I'm not
really in love. l haven't had a
chance to be. I'm the kid who
wanted a doll that Santa Claus

That was bad stuff. She couldn't
tell him what Bill Mallory was like.
She didn't know. All she had had
to go on was her instinct. She
couldn't say, ooh, he's a doctor and
he's handsome and I wanted him to

CHAPTER NINE

FABIENNE VAS having pdll
and trying to enjoy it when the
telephone rang. 1t was the kind OF
bath that should bring a girl to
her senses. 1t was fOaming and fra
grant with bath salts that had cost
as much as a poor doctors wife
paws for six pairs of stockings.
There was a rubber pillow at the
head of the tub and great, fluffy
towels warming for her. Outside it
was sleeting and the wind hOWled
across the park. But in that room
it was warm and luxurious and
bright with lights.
The wife of a poor c.Octor would
live in a Walk-up and be lucky to
have a cake of soap, she told her
self angrily, and picked up the
phone.
Camilla Morse was at the other
end of the wire.
Hello, darling. Wlll you
serve on my committee. for the Vel
vet ball?" she wanted to know.
mo" Fabienne bit off the word.
"Iow many times have I told you,
Camilla, that I simply won't serve
on ANY committees.
But, darling, l thought since
you'd got so charitable, doing all
that settlement work and that

I'm fed to the teeth with char
liable work, Cam. Sorry"
But, look. darling, we never see
you. What about dinner a week
from Thursday? I've a fascinating
man who wants TO meet you"
Fabienne said, Hold the wire"
She Rugged her woolly robe
closer to her wet figure and
stretched across the bed to reach
her engagement pad. She thumbed
through it hastily and picked up
the telephone:
Cant make it then. Camilla.
I'm booked solid for two weeks"
Anything eXciting?"
Terribly" Fabienne said bitter
ly. "Theater tonight. Marcia's :
ster's opening the next night. The
hockey game at the Garden the
next night. The Grainger's shindig
the next. Shall I go on? It's all
pretty much the same"
She could hear Camilla gasp at
the other end. How do you do it e?
Ye gods, Fab. Why do you persist
in doing the Big Sister act fer
eight hours day? I'm dead if I
stay up until midnight, and I hear
you're doing the town up night

Shifting Tax Burden

State Finance Commissioner o. Glenn Saxon continues his one-man campaign for new set-up in the state budget con- trol of it's sources of revenue. Comncis- sioner Saxon believes that money collected in the form of gasoline taxation should go into the states general fund instead of the highway department treasury. This virtually amounts to diversion of the gas taxes; although the term is not applied to 1t for to speak of diversion of highway funds in Connecticut is to utter heresy.
 We don't know what hash the Legisla- ture next year will make of the commis- sioner's idea, if it should get proposal for change in budgeting, but once the oppo- nents of diversion level their guns the end is in sight Personally it looks as ii de- termined effort is to be made to have all funds collected by any state department regarded as part of one general fund. No earmarking of any amounts for specific purposes would appear to be the purpose of such a plan as Commissioner Saxon now offers.
 It has its merits. There can be no doubt about his complaint about lack of budgeting of various state funds being a noney-loser. But we're wondering just what the taxpayer thinks about the sit uation as it is now described. We have been educated on the theory that to con- tlnue our road-building program in Con- necticut the present various forms of tax ation must be maintained. Those in-

clude automobile registration, operators license fees, oil and gasoline taxation, garage, gasoline pump, repairers license fees, and lastly highway tolls.
 All these are contributed by motorists for the expansion of our highway system and its upkeep. Should such funds be state revenues, we think the motorist would be justified in demanding a seal ing down of his taxes to the point where they were covering only highway and attendant department expenses and nothing more, The motorist should not support the states efforts elsewhere.

Talking to the Future

A handful of experts who ought to know what they're talking about stuck their necks out few days ago when they made a set of records to be broadcast 20 years from now. The men eminent in business, science, religion and education, got together in Pittsburgh and left with posterity predictions on what the coun- try will be like in 1859.
 You'd better jot down the date because you won't want to miss it for anything. Among the things expected of tomorrows world are employment for all, increased leisure, rocket ships, household chores done by remote control, extensive use of the photo-electric cell, glass-brick houses, glasscloth clothes and reduction of in- curable diseases.
 Twenty years from now, people will sit down before their radio sets and listen to the Utopian day-dreams They will nod approvingly at those experts words which have become reality. And they will sigh wistfully over the things that have not happened but should have. At any rate, it will be pleasant evenings entertain ment.

Hemmed In

Connecticut now is completely hem med in by states in which pari-rnutuel betting at race-tracks is legalized. New York'S approval last week completed the chain around this state. It begins at the Rhode Island border; continues into Massachusetts; crosses into New York; and goes on into New Jersey for added strength. And Massachusetts is further fortified on the north by New Hampshire. Connecticut, thus becomes rare jewel in these days of wagering.
 New York'S reception of the machines will be watched for the state long with stood all efforts both to legalize betting at tracks and then to insure bettors' pro- lection CD by changing from bookies to pari-mutuels, although both can prob' ably operate if the former want to chance the competition. An enabling act must be passed in New York by the Legislature In 1940 so that the law will operate.
 Right now there seems to be talk of only one new track in western New York as a result of the machine legalization. The ex- isting tracks will naturally swing over to the machines, too. New Jersey at pres ent has no tracks, so there may be race there for site and for dates that won't conflict with those in the metropolitan area. One thing New York moguls prom ise is that the machines won't break down the traditionally high admission charge at all race-tracks, thus permit ting the "little fellow" to carry his $2 bet to the tracks.
 In the midst of this welter stands Con- necticut, still impervious to the darts of the race-track fanciers.

According to plans being developed for Pennington Avenue in Hartford the thor oughfare may in another five years be one of the most beautiful parkways leading into any big American city Although no plans have as yet been approved Hartford city fathers incline to the idea of making boulevard of the thoroughfare along the most modern lines. This would include one-way roadways on each side of park way which would no doubt be beautifully handicapped. Attention would also be given to the sidewalks and property front ing on the street.

State Finance Commissioner o. Glenn Saxon may have good argument in his claim that only $30,000000 of the states annual revenue is subject to budget con- trol. He wants to see more of the states income, if not all of it, taken care of properly and the resultant waste from lack of budgeting wiped out. That's something that more of us would prob ably welcome, for everyone realizes that a budgeted state income is going to be an economical one, unless unforeseen events occur or officials fail to stand by the budget. Commissioner Saxon thinks that eventually the federal government may withdraw some needed services and funds to Connecticut for this very want of budget control in our state funds. He may have an idea here that needs to be considered seriously by our state officials

Selected Poem
NOVEMBER

(By R. N Livingstone in the Boston Post) The bleak November winds have stripped the trees The grass so green few short days ago, Lies brown and withered while warning freeze
 Heralds the onward march of springtime foe Nature fears not the blasts about to smite-
 Her children. wrapped in sombre winter garb Presage the coming of lengthy night,
 Secure from winters every cruel barb Oh could man meet distress about to come
 AS nature does in gorgeous fament dressed Know he will be. as winters rigors numb

SPARE PARTS
(Bridgeport Telegram)

Doctors inform us that we do not need the entire shin bone. that low- ly member of shank's mare which propels Us on our way. If bone Is shattered or diseased in some other part of the frame, modern surgery takes a bit of this leg bone as a spare part. Many @ soldiers shin bone is doing service where his jaw used to be. Spinal operations also call for the substitution of this very versatile member.
 Man has not missed a rib or two. the appendix, c slab out of the shin. He can get along quite well with only one lung, or a single kidney and, thanks to insulin, even with out his pancreas.
 It might be interesting to know just how many other parts of the anatomy can be dispensed with, in view of the marvellous strides of sur- gery. Operations of this kind once were over-shadowed by doubt and fear. Today they are performed with the routine surety of a garage me- chanic at work on car.
 The one who wrote we are fear fully and wonderfully made" did not suspect the half of 1t.
