Well"
I'VE have better play than we
had BEFORE" Gayle plunged in,
beaming happily. "A much nicer
play, I think, Bill, even if you did
write it, l mean, because you wrote
it, maybe" They all laughed with
her.
mo, honestly, it's much better.
And if we could have a ball with
music and dancing to go with it
the mansion here is so large and
Mr.. Merrifield would love it, I'll
bet. And Jeremy c0uld-look, Jer-
envy, don't you think it's grand?
You see what we mean? Amateur
plays are social events, really, but
we could make this one especially
fine, and you'd meet lot of inter-
esting people, and make some new
friends and all. See ?"
Jeremy swallowed. He wasn't
sure he understood, but he loved
to see the enthusiasm in the others
and he wanted desperately to share
it and be a part of their planning.
The urge to flee which he had felt
a moment ago, now had COMPETE
ton in his heart. He was still con-
fused, but he wanted to be "in" on
things HIMSELF
"See here-I-yes! Yes, Gayle!
If you like it, do"
He couldn't have said it better.
If you like it, l do! Plainly,
young Jeremy Tucker was happier
and happier to be guided by Gayle.
Plainly he was aWed not only by
her physical beauty. but by her
personality and tact as well. They
all observed it-Tempe Hyde, the
other girls, Bill, Gayle herself.
Gayle cupped in her lower lip for
an instant-pretty little manner

her-and the other girls laughed
in sudden understanding. Ali save
Tempe Hyde, who looked glumly
through her glasses. And Lola, who
gazed ever so seriously at them
like a dark-eyed child who didn't
quite understand.
The brightness had faded quickly
from Bills face. He knew precisely
how Jeremy felt, he was thinking.
For a black moment Bill felt re-
turn of the anger and jealousy he
had felt 1t stung him to see Jer-
envy drawn closer and closer to
Gayle Dixon, spiritually.
Stung him, and yet contradlc-
torily gave him vague, painful
sense of satisfaction as well. He,
Bill, owned nothing of value in this
world, possessed no money save
the day-to-d day expenses needed for
his odd employment here. Even this
employment couldn't last many
months, he realized, and times were
undeniably hard out in the world.
On the other hand, Jeremy Tucker
was a millionaire, secure for life.
Bill so wanted Gayle to know Sc
curity, so longed for her to have
happiness in life. Since Jeremy
could afford it for her
Bill sighed. Then it's all SET"

ously now. 81 have talked a lot

MRS. MOLLY VAN ORSDALE,
the city's most aggressive and
most successful! society editor,
reasoned that The Oaks was likely
to be frequent source of society
news after the re-opening Of the
old mansion. She had dropped in on
the party given for Jeremy and
had attended the play Maid to
Measure" She had waited q few
days after that (but with an ear
to possible hearsay news around
town and when she felt that the
time was ripe she drove her car
out to The Oaks again. She arrived
there on the afternoon when the
young people were discussing the
new play. Indeed, she was scant
10 minutes behind Lola Montesa,
who had startled all the others by
her unexpected return. Graham an
nounced Mrs. Van Orsdale to Gayle.
"Oh! Yes, please ask her to come
right on out here with us, Graham"
That's exactly what Mrs. Molly
preferred. She could sit in" with

them cordially. pumped down into
the big swing beside Gayle and
Lola.
Whenever these many young

smiling, there is bound to be news.

Bill spoke then. MOT much So

Van Orsdale."

They outlined it for her, dis
cussed it and enjoyed having her
enter into the planning as if she
were one of them. Molly Van Ors-
dale could be at home practically
anywhere and make herself a joy
there. All at once she turned to
Lola.
"And will you sing again in this
play?" she asked. II so enjoyed
your music in the other one. And
you're such a lovely person. my
dear"
Lola's eyes dropped. THANK
YOU" she said. II love thee music.
Iss good to seeng."
Bill was gesturing with his play
script, pointing to them. "Shc-she
surely will sing again in this one,
Mrs. Van Orsdale! Everybody liked
her music"
The others were even more en-
thusiastic. 1t may be, because Of
the strained situation regarding
Lola, that Gayle and Bill and Jer-
envy, and to a lesser extent the
other girls, overdid their enthusi-
asm. Tempe Hyde, alone of those
present, had nothing to say, and
she was slightly conspicuous there
for. Bill observed again the quick

IN. Y. CATHOLIC
 PRIESTS CHARGE
Private, Catholic Schools of New York Would Get
 No Appropriation

Chicago, Nov. 19-(UP)--The Rev. E. Roberts Moore, pastor of St. Peters Catholic church of New York, charged today Catholic and private schools would be ignored in the distribution of $7,500,0O0 appro- priated recently for youth training because U. s. Commissioner of Edu- cation Studebaker has seized control of the IVA.
 Moore, a member of the national advisory committee of the National Youth Administration and of the New York City housing authority, accused Studebaker of making a most blatant and unfortunately successful grab for power" by spon- soring a "craftily worded rider" to the first supplemental civil func- tions appropriations bill. The bill was signed by President Roosevelt october g.
 He said the rider provided that the money Should be spent for the training -on-th he-job program in ac- cordance with IVA regulations ex- cept that the youth programs shall be under control and supervision of state boards and be paid out of appropriations made to the office of education" He said expenditures must be approved by the commis- sioner of education.
 There we have most blatant and unfortunately completely successful grab for power" Moore said. "The office of education, consistently de- feated in it. earlier attempts to control the IVA, at last by means of an obscure paragraph in an ap- propriations bill has succeeded.
 "The whole thing would be ludic- IS were it not so tragic-ludicrorl because one boast, at least, that our educational system can scarcely make is of any considerable success in fitting our young people for jobs. Yet when another agency points the way, regardless of both youth and national defense, it must be scotched."
 Moore spoke before the national conference of Catholic charities.
