of another person. She was pere
haps prettier-in q physical way
without them; and yet he somehow
liked her better with them on.
He was gentle about it, and when
he took his hands down she sud.
denly opened her eyes again and
smiled widely in thanks. The smile
further disturbed him. The little
dinple played. Exquisite teeth
hone brightly, and in his closeness
Ia her here he could even see the
{. !icate way she moistened her Lips
and gave life to them.
In the narrow aisle there was no
table, no chairs. But there was q
little four-step slanting stool, the
kind sometimes used in kitchens.
It served to stand on when one
wanted books off the high shelves.
Tempe was leaning now against it.
"You have such a melodious
voice, Jeremy" she said, still whis-
pering. please read some to me-"
Jeremy gave serious thought to
that, walked a few feet and
brought back book of poems. He
moved to be nearer the window,
and presently sat down on the
stool, unconsciously, as she stood
near him, listening. Her back was
toward the window, her right side
toward him.
Presently, as if enraptured by
the word songs, she lifted her head
to gaze at nothing. He read on.
Very casually she leaned against
him, her knee touching his rather
long, slender leg. He was reading
a scholarly bit from the classics,
and quite naturally he was reading
it we'll, slowly, distinctly, but in
low tones which heightened theit
intimacy, speaking with genuine
feeling.
When he came to the end with
an inevitable dramatic trailing off
of his voice, Tempe turned as if
in a slow ecstasy of appreciation

around Jeremy and threw herself
little nearer to him. He lowered
his book. He didn't know what was
happening, but quite involuntarily
he moved toward her. She lifted
her lips, and in a moment was kiss
ing him ardently.
Once, twice, three times she
kissed him, and the third time he
kissed her in return. He had no
conscious thought of doing so; he
just did it, impersonally, but posi-
lively.
Then the shock of it seemed to
startle him. With unmannerly
abruptness he stood up. His face
was contorted in actual pain as he
saw Tempe Hyde is an entirely
new light, in new realization.
He put up his hands as if in
defense, literally ran OUT of the
library and down the long hall.

Tempe walked away f.. nm.
She went a few feet and stripped,
her back turned toward him. But
he still did not interrupt his line
of thinking and talking, still
caught no realization of tactless-
ness in his speech. In truth, he
didn't know much about Tempe.
He knew she was very pretty. He
knew she could recite lot Of onte
little rhymes and that She hat D
definite sparkle to her personality
in way that the other girls at
The Oaks didn't quite show. But
he knew nothing about her person
atty in the deeper sense. Nor did
he, for that matter, know much
about how to talk with any girl.
Tempe took a deep breath or two
and came back near to him.
II am so glad you like our Amer
lean culture, Jeremy" she said,
smiling again now. "The-white
Americans. I, too, love to read. 1
could sit in my home forever with
just a good book-and man who
loved me, Jeremy"
She ended on a wistful note, gaz-
ing out of the window. She sighed
and turned to the shelves again.

down his books and exhibited them,
standing near to her at times and
reading passages with her over his
shoulder. Once she wiped at her
glasses, so he took them off for
her and carefully cleansed them
with a silk handkerchief that he
carried for his own. When he was
done, she did not take them back
as proffered, but lifted her face, eN-
pecting him to put them on her.
Her eyes were closed then, and
her lips pursed ever so slightly and
invitingly.
For a long second or two he
paused there. The young man felt
a quick, delightful sense of alarm.
His blood raced, and he swallowed
hard in an effort at control. He
wondered why his bugaboo of shy
ness should strike him thus uneX-
pectedly. A moment ago he had
been thoroughly at ease, happy in
the knowledge of fellowship and of
the comradely playing with Bill and
Gayle earlier this morning. Now,
though, this short dainty little per-
son here in a dim library aisle
was somehow overwhelming him.
Trembling a bit, he slipped her
glasses on. He noted, to his great
surprise, that they changed her
completely. They gave her look as

dustrial conditions were noted in
seven areas of the state during
June, according to monthly situa-
ton reports Of field office managers
Of the Unemployment Compensation
division, Labor Commissioner Cor
nelius j. Danaher announced today.
Continued good conditions were
reported in four other areas and,
with the exception Of two other
areas where business was reported
slow, the remainder of the eighteen
areas containing field offices report
ed conditions unchanged.

Britain areas.
The slow areas were Meriden and
Norwalk. Unchanged conditions
continued in Danielson, Stamford,
New Haven, Ansonia, and Middle
town.
Textiles Sp0tty
Metal trades were active; textiles
were spotty; needle trades were slow
and the state generally has not yet
felt the increased activity expected
as result of the rearmament pro-
gram although indications point to
such increases in the near future.
There continues shortages of skill
ed workers, domestic workers and
farm workers and In practically
programs accupy a good deal Of at
programs occupy a God deal Of at

Unempl o yment compensation
claims decreased and job placements
increased.
Waterbury
The situation as reported by the
Waterbury manager follows:
AS was anticipated the unemploy-
ment compensation load for June
dropped to significant degree. New

the influx of graduates.
