Presently he returned with Elizabeth. Jane
greeted her cordially. wondering what men
saw in those pale e-gold -and-ivory women Nice
to look at, perhaps, but it would be more fun
cuddling cold compress She led them to the
next room, opened the door and forgot
Elizabeth in surge of pride about Daniel.
His face glowed with health. His damp hair
curled in tight golden springs. He was yelling
like cowboy and squirting the crib around
the room He must waste hours of sleeping
time doing that" Elizabeth said. Cribs

type of man to marry hastily.
He would go into consultation with him.

properly grave and responsible. A girl who
wanted to marry him shouldn't remind him
that she was capable of breaking dozens OF
hospital rules by kidnapping baby.
Of course no sensible girl should want to
marry Keith A girl ought to demand certain
amount of romance. She ought to insist on
the right to keep her own personality Jane
gave herself stern lectures along those lines.
But it didn't do any good. She couldn't hold

problem entirely. Daniel is not properly con-

him."
Jane WINGED. She and Elizabeth had been
classmates in college eight years ago. They
were not friends. Elizabeth had cool, regal
beauty that always made Jane feel like a
Scottie who has been romping through bram-
bles. Elizabeth could have had imousines and
furs and jewels Instead, she had chosen
career. Now she was head of Mount Michaeps
famous Child Guidance Clinic, and she
flaunted her Ph.D. arrogantly, like chin
chilla wrap.
ELIZABETH could find things wrong with any
baby, and probably would continue to do 50
until she had one of her own. Unfortunately
she was not married. She saw eye-to-eye with
Keith on many subjects. And, Judging from
the way Jane had seen her bending over cribs
with Keith, she was willing to see cheek-to-
cheek with him, too.
Kane protested, She'll probably say Daniel
has every bad habit except chewing tobacco" :"

Registration Drive
Is Started

Fred Bowman, assistant secre-
tary of the King County Colored
Republican club, has been making
a survey of unregistered race vot-
ers in Seattle. He is initiating
movement among all race organi-
cations to become part of a drive
to register every citizen in King
County. Bowman states that his
organization will not confine its
efforts to register race members
only, but will prevail upon all I'M
registered voters to take a more
active part in the conduct of civic
affairs.
Bowman said that he was actu-
ated by the fact that laxity on the
part of our young men and wom-
en-, and elders as well, in civic and
political affairs, is growing alarm
ing. Of all people, we are the
least who should become indiffer-
ent in this drive. All parties and
organizations are asked to become
a part of it. There will be no let
up until the registration books are
closed.

showered upon Jimmie Lunceford
and his orchestra. Not a ripple,
not a cloud, married the finest
dance gathering have witnessed.
The attraction was a flattering
success. My goal is conferred on
