ASKS NOTIFICATIONS
81 believe that Congress
should retain all possible power.
Congress, however, has not
acted. Therefore, 1 am forced
TO conclude that the only way to
render aid quickly enough is to
pass this bill with notifications.
"All notifications should seek
to limit any unnecessary author
lty granted In the bill.

sire for national unity.

tell Eve at once how successfully
her plans were working out. But
she forced herself to sit quietly
while Mrs. Marbury went on de-
scribing the hazards of having too
much money. She felt her smile
getting stiff as she agreed for the
hundredth time that one couldn't
be too careful nowadays. At last
the other bridge players began to
drift away, and Mrs. Marbury re-
called that she had promised to
have dinner with some friends.
Julie went to the elevator with a
sigh of relief.
When Julie reached the room
she and Evangeline Prentice had
taken for the month she found it
deserted.
She settled down before the
dressing table of imitation ma
hogany and picked up a rubber,
spoon-shaped instrument with
which she proceeded to spank
vigorously the slightly fieshy line
under her chin.
The sound of the door opening
cut across her wandering thoughts.
as that you, dear?" she asked,
turning her face toward the
sound. Pads stepped in ice water
covered her eyes. Her appearance
would have startled anyone less
accustomed to the sight than the
tall dusky-haired girl who was
crossing the room with swing
ing grace. Eve, as matter of fact.

-"and we're going to have Mr..
Rodman come over tomorrow af-
ternoon to tell us about it" Mrs.
Marbury was saying. "Since
you're so interested in old houses,
why don't you and your niece
drop in to our suite about FIVE
o'clock? Gina will probably have
the place packed with her crowd
and we won't be able to hear any
thing, but you and I can talk to
Mr.. Rodman in some corner"
For a moment Julie was almost
caught off-guard. The invitation
she had been angling for!
Telling Eve
NHY we'd love tol" she said,
w eagerly, too eagerly. "That
is" she added with more of her
old caution, ''if / can persuade
Eve to stop moping for a few
hours. It's very kind of you to
ask us" she went on, with just the
right note conveying a tacit un-
derstanding between them. "I'm
sure if Eve could meet some new
young people she would get
over this-this infatuation much
sooner. Yet one has to be so care
full in an hotel"
Again jules hands expressed
her thought for her. Mrs. Marbury
Immediately caught the infection.

from the table, so that she might

barely glanced at the apparition
that Julie presented. and the g-e-
tesque effect of the eye-pads was
completely lost on her.
"Of course" she answered
jules question, her tone lit tn, s..
Julie heard the creak of 1 c
springs as Eve threw herself
across one of the twin beds.
Since Julie Holt Emerson hal
appeared in Ewes life after her
mothers death, the actress had
been a good friend. Eve had TO
admit.
But Julie could be difficult at
times, too. This idea of hers about
marrying well. for instance, was
one of the most trying for Eve
to endure. Didn't Julie know that
love could not be beckoned at
will? The few thousand dollars
they had won with that funny lit
tie soap contest jingle were melt
ing rapidly in this expensive and
uninteresting hotel. If only J lie
had let her do what she wanted:
open her own decorating shop and
at least try to make some provi-
sion for the future.

plating the girls long figure.

the white Counterpart.

course"-she laughed, with an in
timacy that delighted juliet
wouldn't let her know that for
the world. All she thinks of now
is parties and tennis and horse
back riding-you know how it is. ;"
"But how perfectly clever of
you'll" Julie broke in admiringly.
81 wish I'd thought of doing that
for Eve. You know she really
has little talent for interior dec
Grafton. But OF course'-Julie
shook her head-"my income is
not what it was"
Mrs. Marbury, once on the SUBJ
ject. dubbed on about this search
of hers for just the right type of
house. She recounted her disap-
pointments in looking at places
said to have been built long ago.
adding, "Of course, I'm no au-
thority on the subject. but even
] could see they'd been built as
late as $780,"
"But how old do you want this
house to be?" Julie inquired, a
little puzzled.
She wouldn't consider anything
later than Revolutionary times,
Mrs. Marbury explained. 1t was a
period Of American architecture
that was particularly appealing,
she thought. Besides" she went
on. "these really old places should
be preserved as record Of our
nation"
Anyway, now she had engaged
young man who knew every
thing about Early American arch
itecture, and he was conducting
the search for her. His name was
Brett Rodman and she had heard
only the day before that he'd
found what he believed to be just
the house.
Julie tried to keep her attention
from wandering. Old housesi For
her part, she liked a good hotel.
Yet Mrs. Marbury and her niece
seemed to be the social center of
the summer colony at Ocean Park
and Julie had grimly determined
that they should serve to intro
duce herself and Eve to everyone
worthwhile.
So far, Mrs. Marbury had done
nothing to further this ambition
beyond an occasional afternoon of
bridge IN which Eve refused to
join them. Really, Julie thought,
not for the first time. Eve was be-
ing too difficult.
