. SERIAL STORY
T Three TO MAKE READY
BYW r. PEARS nc

Paula remembered how jauntily
Chris had strobe away from
them. II only he'd show just
a little jealousy =. But Chris
was Chris-independent, reck-
less And yet beneath his brit
tie crust.
Tony was saying, "You live
here four years and those old
buildings are just piles of stone.
And then, all of q sudden, you
have to leave and you realize
what an important influence
they're likely to have on your
life. When we walk through
Cardman Arch, Paulie, we're
heading for the big show, and
there's the main entrance"
With q start Paula dragged her
thoughts away from Chris. "Well
spoken, Tony"
They sat in silence looking
down over the campus, rolling
and brilliantly green with new
grass. The old buildings squat
ted massively among tall oaks,
unperturbed by time and wealth
er, sheltered with ivy.
Paula said, 1--WE feel the same
way, Tony"
ems funny but we do" Tony
said, and again his grown eyes
were touched with . wistful
light. about lots of things, and
yet :"
He left the sentence unfih-
ished. fumbled for his pipe.
Paula stared down the path.
"I-I thought I saw Chris
coming" she murmured. MAY
be he's changed his mind"
Maybe" His mouth twitched
a little at the corner. you're
pretty fond Of Christ"
Paula tried to avoid the prob
ing of Tony's gaze. "Of both
you boys" she laughed. We've
had grand times together"
Tony said, II hate to think it's
all ending in q few weeks.
You've been good to include
me-"
It struck Paula as odd that
she'd never thought of Tony like
that. Not as someone you Gin
cluded." Even though she was
in love with Chris she'd never
resented Tony's presence.
cts not that way at all,
Tony" Paula replied. "It's just
that I've wild streak like
Chris's. I cut class because the
morning smells good! Tony, you
wouldn't do that. but Chris
would"
Tony snorted. with your
grades. Paulie, anybody would"
Below, q group of freshmen
rushed between buildings, their
carfree laughter reaching up to
Paula and Tony. Listening.
Paula felt old and solemn.
You're right, Tony, college
is . sort of dress rehearsal for
the big show. II you make q
mistake here well, there's
someone to prompt you from the
wings. But once you get out in

Paula and Tony spun around
to face Chris. He had ap-
preached as silently as an In
dian. His wiry blond hair was
windruffled, a sardonic twinkle
lighted his blue eyes.

Tony said mildly. But for q
change we're talking sense"
Chris chuckled. mind if I sit
here and brood over these hal
lowed walls?"
Paula tried to fit her mood to
his; it was the best way to get
along with Chris.
"Join the mourners' bench"
she said brightly. "You came
just in time to keep Tony and
me from weeping on each others
shoulders"
Tony arose suddenly. well,
think I'll get along. See you
two later"
They watched his well-knit
figure move easily down the
path until it disappeared.
There's a guy" Chris said
softly, and in that instant his
mood became serious. TONY
could 60 places If he'd do his
own thinking"
"Tony will 60 places" Paula
said.
Chris shook his head. "Tony's
too satisfied with the old stuff.
Joins fraternity, plays football,
jumps into all the activities.
Model student and all that"
"You believe those things are
silly, don't you Christ"
"Uh-huh! Stuff needs chang
ing. Some day I'll tell the world
what ais it"
Paula frowned. Chris, have
you any plans? Oh, I know
you've written some articles, but
have you done anything about
lining up a job with some mag
azine or publishing house?"
He grinned. mot plans, Paul

Chris caught Paulas arms In

eyes. you're my pal, Paulie,"
he laughed and kissed her light

But over the pounding of her
heart Paula heard q warning

fers unused. "you suddenly rea-
lie how beautiful the college
is. And you get q sort of full
feeling around your heart"
Tony Beale nodded, his quiet
face thoughtful. ''rd never ad-
NIT it to anyone else. Wouldn't
l feel the same way. Wouldn't
that give Chris q laugh?"
They were seated on the crest
of the Bishops Backbone. The
path at their feet snaked its way
down the big bump of earth and
led through a tall arch. Cut into
stone in time-worn letters was
the inscription: Cardman Col
lege, est. 1890.
Tradition held that no grad
uate should leave the college
without passing under Cardman
Arch and walking up the Back
bone for a final glimpse of the
campus.
This was sort of preview for
Paula and Tony. Earlier Paula
had emerged from the Gamma
Tau house into a warm flood Of
sunshine. Drawing deep
breath of May morning into
her slender body, savoring its
sweet, green smells, she had
decided impulsively to cut her
8 o'clock class.
As usual, Chris Wentrich and
Tony Beale waited for her at the
corner. They had Tipped a coin
to see who should pay for break
fast and were disputing its de-
cision. Chris, tall and lean with
fire-blue eyes; Tony, shorter,
more compact, his grave face
holding deep convictions.
Paula pretended to be una
ware of them until they caught
her arms and half lifted her
from the sidewalk

Tony said. eve are about to

Coffee! On a morning like

head. Don't you two ogres

stomachs?"

"Nothing's beautiful TO Of d
Christopher until he's had his
hot cup"
I'm going to climb the Back
bone and take a look at the
campus in this gorgeous sun
light Paula said.
"Okay," Chris flipped back at
her. That saves us the price
of coffee and rolls"
Paula feigned indignation, but
she thought, How like Chris!
II he gives a darn about anyone
or anything he never shows It,"
Tony said, well. I don't have
class until 9:lS,' and his eyes
were wistful as they absorbed
Paula's fresh young face. II

"Traitor!" Chris howled.

ing the old college. Me for cof-
fee. Bon voyage"

Direct Sun Tones Down
CoIors of lithoqruphs

The Currier & Ives Autographs,
well known to most of us, as they
record the life of America during
the 10Th century, are most decora-
tive with early American furniture.
Each year the originals become more
expensive and hard to find, and the
market is flooded with both good
and bad productions.
The possibility that the originals
were very vivid in color, even gar
ish, has been lost in the fact that
most of them have been in use for
nearly 100 years and have faded
and dulled with the years. In Sc
lecting a reproduction strive for in
teresting motif and as much true
color as possible. Exposing the
prints to direct sunlight for a few
days will tone them down enough
SO that they do not become too
obvious on your walls.

selling building jobs, and are wait
ing for their construction depart
ments to catch up with sales. This
will mean a curtailment of needed
low-cost building.
Undoubtedly, a number of build
ers Of higher-priced houses today
will venture into the lower brackets.
But, some of these admit there will
be difficulties in adjusting their con-
Struction departments to the lower
standards.
The order of Mr.. Nelson's board
does not mean, however, that there
will be no materials for erection of
higher-priced homes. But materials
for these jobs will have no rating
and will be very slow in coming
through. Many believe that before
long it will be impossible to obtain
materials for better-class homes at
any price.
The field of remodeling and re-
Mobilization of old houses should be
most active one from now on, and
this will mean the cleaning up of
many of the older, rundown sec
tions of the city.
