Fabienne read the names written
in pencil: Wolesjcki, Tomasslno,
Kelly, Wong, Gerald, Svenson. She
could see them all. Little red heads,
tow heads, black heads. Little slavic,
latin and oriental faces. The darl-
ings!
What a softie she was to feel that
way! How coorly amused Nicky
would be.
Saturday was the day of the play.
Saturday was also the day the Hen
dersons were giving their house
warming. She must have Molly take
in the seams of her sequin jacket.
1t was a little too loose and she
meant to look her smartest for that
party.
There were two things she must
do that next morning! Speak to
Molly about the jacket and send a
nice, long telegram to Ellen for the
children, wishing them success, tell
ing them she. wished she could be
with them.
At breakfast she told Molly
about the sequin jacket. Then she
got out Edna's old roadster and
drove down to the telegraph office
in the village. On the way she
composed the telegram, but the
words fled from her when she went
to put them on paper. And she
found herself writing:

thing up. I'm late enough now"
Molly said, You amt read al
your letters, Miss Fabienne."
i've read enough. Don't forget
my carriage boots. It's cold to-
night"
Molly held a long wrap for her
to slip into and Fabienne looked at
herself a long time in the pier glass
Then she unpinned the sheaf OF
white camellias from her shoulder
and threw them on the bed peslde
the letters with a gesture of distaste
and went out of the room and down
to dear, devoted Nicky who was wait
ing for her with the inevitable high
ball glass in his hand.
The flowers were gone and the
bed neatly turned down when she
returned to her room much later
that night.
The letters She had not opened
were on the bed table beside the
bowl of fruit Molly had placed
there.
There was a long white envelope
with a New York postmark and her
name typed on it. Curious, she slit
it and pulled out three large sheets
of paper. The first page contained
a typewriter note from Ellen. 1t
was the first Ellen had sent her.
The other pages contained sigma
lures scrawled in school children's
writing.
Fabienne's eyes lighted as she
read rapidly:
Dear Fabienne," Ellen wrote,
I'VE hope this letter will not be
an interruption. 1t is an invitation
from all of US, most earnestly urged
by those whose names you will find
here. The play-your play-as you
know, is to be presented on Satur-
day afternoon and it is our hope Ia
forlorn one, perhaps that you can
be our guest of honor. I thought
perhaps you might like to send a
telegram. 1t would meal so much
to the children. Not as much, OF
course, as your presence, but I do
understand and hope you are having

GOSHEN. Aug. Is. OUP)-I hate
to get sulky ABOUT the sulkies. but
i would like to ask an important
question before / shake the pari-
mutuel tickets and corn silks out of
my hair and head down the pike
toward New York.
Why do the trotting and pacing
folk call their association of tracks
the grand circuit?
Could it be because grand cir
cult literally means big run
around?" Certainly that's what a
lot of us who came up here for the
Hambletonian yesterday feel that
we got. Not in the Hambletonian.

Six Swingers and swayers were

could only bet on five of them. The
track officials. with solicitude to-
ward the pari-mutuel machines

that Fearless Peter was far and

of wagering on what appeared to
be sure thing. Had betting on
Fearless Peter been allowed, the

SO much on him, and so little on
his rivals, that minus pool would
have been the result. And minus
pool is the only way track can
lose money on a race.
Fearless Peter won both heats
very easily and was regarded as
the winner everywhere but at the
mutuels. There the clerks paid off
win tickets on the horse that fin
ished second. place tickets on the
horse that was third. and show
money on the horse that came in
fourth.
Now what kind of business is
that? Race tracks survive because
the customers gamble, so why
shouldn't the tracks themselves be
willing to take a flyer once in a
while? / wouldn't mind how many
