Linda knew that she said some
thing. She never knew what. Here
she sat in Ronnie's roadster, not as
his girl, but as the third member
of the group. And she was happy.
She wanted it to be this way. She
felt gayer and freer than she had
since that rainy evening when Ron-
ME had crossed a long room to her
at tea and presently said, 1--WE
lost my girl" and not meant her.
He spoke more truthfully than
he knew. Maybe presently all
crooked paths were Strengthened.
Maybe, if you could look at life
from a great road map up above
you you would understand the by
paths and the turnings. Perhaps
there was a reason that Robert
had begged to enter her apartment.
With the mere thought Of his
name her heart began to sing and
she wanted the car to go faster,
faster, faster. A red light stopped
it. though, then another, and an
other.
But they cane at last to the
door of the old red brick house
where she lived and Sarah said:

Linda. Ronnie and are being mar

her hand, and the selfish, Willful
lines were gone from her face or
else the night softencd them. II

you want"
Ronnie held her hand a minute
when he said goodby, and she felt
an odd choking. This was more
than a farewell to Ronnie. She
was bidding adieu to years of
growing up. years of waiting and
wishing and hoping.
That was over now. Ended. Just
as though someone had put c. Pc
rod after it.
She began to hear that low song
in her heart as she started toward
the door She was surprised to find
me janitor still on duty.

Robert continued his long dis

talking in that low tone which a
man uses when there are others
near, and his words are intended
for one girl only.
He did not come near Linda as
the testimony went on. and he eN-

him go. wanting TO run after him,
not daring to.

walk with it.
But surely, surely. there would
be a way to tell Robert what she
wanted him to know. Only dimly
she realized that other members
of the prosecutors office had ar

being questioned and croSs-ques-
toned.
Mina's voice recalled her to the
scene. Yes" she said in full, rich

After all, she is mentally sick,

Linda nodded in mute agreement.

She wondered where Rob had

Then some words of the state

Mosquito Treatment
To Start This Week

Mosquitoes were noticed in Bluff
ton for the first time during the
last week, and the municipality is
taking immediate steps in an effort
to control spread of the pests.
All catch basins will be treated
this week with oil, to prevent the
breeding of mosquitoes, and isolated
bodies of stagnant water in creeks
and elsewhere about the town are to
be sprayed with insecticide.
Mayor Wilbur A. Howe urged
residents of the town to check their
premises in order to make sure no
breeding places are present, and he
stressed the fact that cooperation on
the part of everyone will go far in
controlling Buttons mosquito prob
lens this summer.
A municipal garbage and rubbish
collection system inaugurated this
spring also is expected to help in
curbing mosquitoes.

Fire Alarm, Thursday
But No Fire Is Found

A fire alarm from Ropp hall,
women's dormitory, set the Bluffton
college campus agog about 10:30
o'clock last Thursday night, but altho
there was a lot of smoke there was
no fire except in the furnace.
Cause of the alarm was attributed
to action of the janitor in burning
quantity of rags in the furnace
Billowing clouds of smoke resulted,
and someone, thinking the dormitory
was on fire, sounded the alarm.
Bluffton firemen made a hurried
run to the structure, but found upon
arrival that there was no cause for
anxiety. The fire truck had left be-
fore many of the usual cars filled
with spectators arrived on the scene.

She continued: "If you take a bunch of movie reviews and read them effectively you'll find that they concentrate on personal things. remember one on Boom Town that talked about Clark Gable ap- bearing in his underwear and re- vealing slight paunch, but there wasn't anything about his per- formance.

 Hollywood strongly feels, she said, that correspondents are too much concerned with private lives. I'm convinced that the public really, doesn't care who had a casual date with whom last night, or what the stars like for breakfast. Women may want to know something about actresses clothes, and perhaps men wonder whether actors know anything about current affairs"
 With these criticisms of the press, Mrs. Pressman hurried away to be photographed, at a typewriter, while composing a tribute to journalism for National Newspaper Week.
