for country outings and Ding ding
got out his sketchbook and drew 4
picture of Anne. 1t wasn't a very
good picture because Ding ding
hadn't known many ladies, and he
only drew pictures of people he
knew. But Anne asked II she could
have 1t autographed and Ding-ding
made her a very fancy letter D
which was the only one he knew.
1t was Ding ding too, who, re-
membered the old guitar far back in
the trunk Of the car and came rum
ming up the hill with it. Anne said:
"Oh, used to play a guitar. My
father taught me when I was small,
but I haven't touched one for
years" So Geoff said. well, you
60 ahead and play 1t for Ding ding.
Then I can stretch out here and
listen"
1t took a few moments to get used
to the strings again, but when she
got started, Ding-ding sat fasci-
mated. his round, brown little face
intent on every move she made.
And Geoff lay at her side, his
arms under his head and his pipe in
the side of his mouth . squint-
ing up at her against the sun.
Sings Songs Of Spain.
She sang some Of the Spanish
songs she'd learned from her father.
The memories they brought back
Of him weren't sad today. She pic
tured him sitting on their front
porch In the evening. and she told
Geoff and Ding ding about it. How
he'd strum his beloved guitar, his
head thrown back and his eyes
closed in the ecstasy of music he
created for himself. How he sang
the endless. dreamy songs his Span
ish mother had taught him. and how
queer and alien it sounded floating
out on the disapproving New Eng
land stiffness.
All other times her father had
followed his English heritage and
had gone conventionally about his
job of being a New England COL
lege professor. Anne. however, al
ways thought that he was never
wholly satisfied: that there was
some racing Latin blood in his veins
that rebelled at the very traditions
of everything New England.
1t was pleasant to talk about him:
pleasant to sit here and play his
songs, and to be with these two who
seemed like old friends to her now.
1t was after they'd eaten the rest
OF the food for supper that the rain
started. At first there were just a
few cold drops that fell while they
were packing the dishes and rolling
up the tablecloth. They raced for

gray smell and was tingling and

Stop At Reservation.
"See!" Ding ding shouted. Il told
you 1t was gonna be q swell day!"
Anne had to admit That it felt good
to get out Of New York. They
slipped out from under the city's
smoky pallid sky and into the ex-
hilarating tonic of the wide coun-
tryside air. Anne breathed deeply
and when Geoff turned to her and
yelled. Swell, huh?" she nodded
and smiled back.
They stopped at State preserve
where Geoff and Ding-ding had
been before. There was a lake and
small, tree-covered hills around it..
In their autumn glory. the woods
looked almost like the Connecticut
woods. Not soul was in sight. 1t
was theirs for the day.
1t was fun, although Anne dis
covered a whole set Of new muscles
that each began to ache separately
as they climbed around. They ex-
plored the whole territory, walk
ing through endless miles of still
trees, poupncing on little paths and
following them to their end. They
climbed hills just to get to the top
and come down again, and explored
woods, not with the idea Of getting
anywhere or finding anything 4.
but just to see what was behind the
next turn, or over the horizon.
Ding-ding, untired no matter
what, was like a little Indian, and
Anne found herself falling more in
love with him every moment. Geoff
had really done a good job with
him. He was completely unspoiled
and as natural as a healthy little
animal
They decided to pitch their camp
on a hillside over the lake. Anne
was sent to gather wood while
Geoff and Ding-ding went down to
get the things out of the car. Geoff
built huge fire and they sat in
the shelter made between the fire
and large rock, to roast their VEIN
ers and boil their coffee. Geoff put
potatoes in the ashes, and they came
out feather-soft and steaming. with
butter running yellow through the
cracks. Anne had never imagined
that food could taste so good. They
ate until even Ding-ding couldn't
eat any more.
Anne Plays Guitar.
Afterward they sat in quiet
little group. leaning against the SUM-
warmed rock and watching the
white smoke from their fire spiral
upward against the pale sky. Geo1
lit the pipe that he reserved strictly

Shelia's heavy riding boots, she was
awake. Sheua had bought a riding
habit so Anne wore the boots and
breeches and with them a soft
brown sweater under Sheila's green
suede jacket She tied a bright
silk scarf about her throat and then,
as an afterthought, she took out the
little star pin and fastened it on her
lapel. 1t would please Geoff
even if it didn't look quite right.
Lenna had packed a basket for
her and was waiting with it at the
bottom of the stairs when Anne
clattered down The little yellow
roadster had just driven up. There
was Geoff and Ding ding beside
him, right on time. Anne. resign
edly shouldered her basket and
started out to the car.

grumbled as she climbed in beside
Ding ding.

pleasure.

Beacon Falls, Aug. g = Postmas. ter John J. Lee, assisted by Clerk Francis Woods, of the local post office, will be in charge of alien reg istration which will begin Tuesday, August 27. The application forms have been received by MT. Lee and can be secured by the aliens at any time to be filled out. Postmaster Lee expects to allow about one-half hour for each interview which will also include f1nger-printing. It was stat cd that after the forms are filled out by the alien, several questions will have to be answered to the postmaster and clerk, and that if the applicant is unable to speak English, he is urged to bring an in- terpreter. This move is most im- portant as the post office depart ment does not furnish the interpre- tor.
 There has been some question concerning the matter of whether or not aliens who have alrdeady Se- cured their first papers for natural ization and who expect to become citizens before the end of the regis tration period, need to go through the process of registration. Post master Lee stated that to be on the safe side they ought to register. If they do not and they also fail to secure their second papers, they will be subject to the penalty of the fine which is $1,000 or six months in jail for failing to register in keeping with the alien program.
