Shop in Smyrna

Now that the merchants OF
Smyrna have made plans fol-
a Shop Early Day on Decem.
Der 7th, it would be only fit
ting for the shoppers of this
town to cooperate with them
by remembering the Business
Association motto, "Try Smyr-
ma First" Considerable new
stock and attractive prices
are being arranged for in en
honest effort to supply the
Christmas gift needs of the
people in this vicinity. The
merchants are trying to CO.
operate with each other and
with persons in this commun-
ity in bringing to their store
for the Christmas season a
type of merchandise to please
everyone. Before we travel
several miles in our car to
shop, let us try our own home
town stores first. Let US pa
tronize Smyrna merchants,
and our merchants will pa
tronize Smyrna. They have
proved this by the things they
have done in the past-their
Smyrna Days, Fourth of July,
Labor Day, Midsummer Jubi-
lee and Halloween celebra-
tions all of which advertised
Smyrna, and brought crowds
of people here. Our mer-
chants and business men are
working, and working hard, to
make Smyrna a better place
in which to live. They are
sincere in their efforts for a
progressive community. The
people in that community
should be sincere in their ef-
forts to cooperate. ''Try
Smyrna First"

Finally Bill murmured. We'll,
I'll be cock-eyed damned" 1t was
an unlovely profanity for Bill
Bailey, who despised all cursing,
and so it was just as well that
Gayle couldn't hear it.
Happiness seemed to have drift
ed off up the chimney that day, SO
far as William Bailey was con-
cerned.
Work of the drama kept on, aft
err a fashion, but he had no heart
for it. The morning had waned
anyway, and Gayle said she would

Lunch in the Merriield mansion

So Bill just sat there on his box
for a while.

reality a clever three-act play, full
of bright dialogue and snappy love
action. It was ideally suited te
youth, a story of springtime and
gaiety and music.
Even now Graham, the butler,
came in to say that the piano
tuner had arrived. "Okay," SAID
Bill, although he said it not like
Bill Bailey, but like a coroner who
had come to view a body.
He went with the tuner to the
Merrifield grand, conferred briefly
about it. and told the man to dc
his worst.
"You mean my best" the tuner
corrected, affably.
YEAH" said Bill.
Tempe Hyde came in then.

Huh? Oh. Oh, after lunch, ]

"Bill?" said Tempe, quietly.
'Huh?"

night and were nice to. the one
who cried in the car-she is ever
so grateful"
"Okay."
Il mean-she is! She thinks you
are grand, Bill"
"Okay."

He walked away from her then,
and he was half way up the stairs
toward his own room before ne
realized he had been rude. He,
Bill Bailey, was never rude inten-
tionally. He had been a popular
athlete in school, sought after,
courted everywhere. He despised
rude people. He wondered what in
the devil he had meant, bring rude
to cute little Tempe.
He started back downstairs to
find her and apologize, but she
was already back with the other
five girls on the sun porch. There
was a deal of hearty laughter. Bill
realized it wouldn't be a moment
to apologize to anyone.
He turned again and went on to
his room. Inside he pumped down
on his bed and started to re-read
the script of maid to Measure,

and Five Scenes"
But in a moment his mind was
wandering, along with his eyes
His eyes had shifted SO as to view
the ceiling. His mind was %re-creat

Jeremy Tucker had kissed
Gayle, really.
1t amounted to nothing, really.
Absolutely nothing. Jeremy was
just fustered. But he had kissed
her, twice more than necessary
ardently.
Bill Bailey tried reasoning with
himself. He told himself that he
ought, if anything, to have been
amused, to have laughed out loud
then and there. It's what he would
have done normally. Laughed, and
kidded both Gayle and Jeremy,
and let the incident pass for the
trivial thing it was. He knew, even
now, that Gayle thought nothing
of it, however embarrassed Jere-
my was when he fled.
But Bill couldn't dismiss it that
way. He just couldn't. His mind
refused to phrase it, but his heart

YESTERDAY: Jeremy is induced
to take part in the rehearsal fol
a play the young people a e
planning to give, and loon finds
himself being invited to kiss
Gayle.
Mr.. Jeremy Tucker, scholar and
savant, discovered a cosmic phen'
omenon.
1t was written away back before
Caesars time, even, that kisses
are significant; and being broadly
read, Mr.. Tucker knew about them
in a purely hypothetical sense.
Nevertheless, kisses n pretty
girls alike we're vague concepts ir
his consciousness.
There Lad been goods at the col
1ege he attended. Some had even
been scholarly, winning Phi Beta
Kappa keys as he himself hao
done, and Jeremy felt that they
were to be respected. In short, he
would have admitted that women
are biologically essential to this
earth.
But that wasn't the idea this
morning.
This cosmic phenomenon he sud
denly discovered was, specifically
that he himself could kiss a beag-
tiful girl, kiss her right on her RED

pleasure. And, oh yes, for dramas
sake. He was supposed to be act
ing.
That's what shocked him. When
he kissed Gayle Dixon there, he
forgot all about the drama. De-
spite his earnestness, his attention
was focused on the fact thai her
lips were soft and yielding; that
her arms and shoulders, Will e
slender, were still rounded in the
most esthetic possible way; and
that Gayle had a scent about her
which, however disturbing, was the
most potent force of all.
He drew his head back to stare
at her, close range, as if she were
a sudden new specimen in his lab
oratorY. He still held her close t.
him.
Gayle just had to do something
about it, eventually.
You wish-you want to r un
through it again." she inquired.
we do both need a lot Of re-
kearsal, l suppose"
He wasn't thinking Of that. But
it was an idea.
Gayle said her short speech
which was the hero's cue to kis:
her and pour out his love, ant
again Jeremy took the cue.
He kissed her a second time, ane
the exaltation of it did not fade
But he quite forgot the after
speech he was supposed to read
1t is doubtful if he could have reae
anything, in fact. The script he
held quivered. Bill Bailey, acting
as director from out in the middle
Of the big room, noticed that.
For want of something else t.
do, Jeremy then kissed Gayle {
third time. This time he was no
nearly so futtery about it, although
he did it hastily and seemed tt
come to his senses all at once ane
drop his arms guilty. Gayle new
er imagined that a man coule
blush so deeply pink. She hersel
was fustered by it.
Then all at once Jeremy rea
lized what he had done.
Full force of the cosmic phenom
enon seemed to strike him. H
stared at Gayle's lips.
"Oh!" he suddenly cried. Dis
tress shone on him. Twelve 60
to-oh, excuse mel"
Without further ado he turne'
and fled. He ran to the neares
exit. He almost tore through
door onto the sun porch, but h
didn't stop there. He ran right O.
to the lawn and disappeared in
clump of shrubbery.
For an ageless moment Gayl
stared after him.
