And your wife paused in her knit
ting to say: Look at Clara and David.
Exhausted, simply exhausted" She
called to them, do come and rest
now! You are positively exhausted"
They didn't hear Alice They stood
where they were, silent. desperate and
grave.
"Sunstroke," she murmured. Glare

toward us-walking so straight and
proud. You watched them too David
is very tall, little taller now than
his hard shoulders and the sweetness
Of his mouth makes me want to cry.
Your son.
DO you feel that way about my
daughter? I can see her faults of
course-she Is too sensitive and always
fanciful-but I love her honesty and
her fierce loyalties. She's become rath-
er pretty-at least everybody tells me
so. Yes, I remember when you came
up to Linden the first of the summer
to settle your grandfather's estate.
You saw Clare for the first time since
she had the braces off her teeth and
you said, Lord, she has something
of the elf and something of the Ma
donna! Thank God for modern girl
child who combines the two"
She was piqued and the color ran
up to her light eyebrows, and up
to her flaxen hair q like the way
her hair grows in peak from her
forehead-I have what they used to
call a widows peak" but naturally
nobody notices now it is so gray0
Clare said: I'm hardly girl-child.
I'm 81" She put her left hand to
her lips so that the sunlight sparkled
in her solitaire.
"Oh-ho!" you laughed. Engaged.
Engaged as soon as you give up teddy
bears and braces on your teeth. Who
is the forward chap"
Hes in the bank" I said eagerly.
Hes cashier now and Ned says he's
heading for the tops In the financial
world"
"Oh, mother!'' said Clare, disap-
proving both my eagerness and my
inept slang.
And they're going to have that
new little cottage on Woodley street"

visited Linden I was careful never to
be alone with you. -.
Next Day
couldn't write more last night be-
cause Ned called me and 1 had to
take care Of him and his headache
read to him until he fell asleep.
Then I went down to the kitchen as
had heard David and Clare come In
and wanted to guard the cold tur-
key planned for today's luncheon.
They were sitting on the kitchen
table, still in their playsuits, swinging
their hard young legs. They were
drinking milk and yes, they had made
way with most Of the turkey.
Nowadays love doesn't seem to af-
feet the appetite. These young people
stoke up love with lots of vitamins.
1t is grand to have David here.
was so glad you let him stay on after
you and Alice left. Naturally he want
ed to stay on. You do understand that
your son and my daughter are des-
perately in love?
When he was first here this sum-
mer, they were exactly like a brother
and sister. And truly I felt as if a
son had returned to me. I love him
so dearly! He showed a wonderfully
intelligent interest in my garden and
he helped me with the wedding. We
laughed together about the feud the
humming birds have with the humble
bees. He chuckled-eXactly the way
you chuckle, furry in the throat with
high note at the end.
I asked all about his work and he
told me he likes police reporting the
best, that he hopes to be writer
eventually, and that he has already
had some light verse printed and one
humorous essay. Or, he says he may be
foreign correspondent, and natural
ly he has considered going into avi-
alton. Or perhaps he might buy a
ranch in Wyoming . c'the world is
so full of a number of things.D
When he was devoting himself tc

pull that old fatal charm on him and
where am I? Hopping up and down
on the sidelines. You are shamelessly
flirting!"

Clare joined in and with both OF

barrassed. suddenly realized 1 have

is proud of me because I have kept
slim and that boy David's age Is
astonished that a woman Of my age
can converse sensibly about world af-
fairs. I rather think gardening is good
for both mind and body. I've always
regretted that Ned doesn't know one
flower from another, and when David
recognized callendula and gypsophilia
was ingenuously charmed. Then I
remembered you and your passion for
greenhouses and knew, of course, he
is exactly like you. John.
I won a great round of applause
from them when pointed to the gas
plant and said dramatically, And
that, my dears, is 'dictamnus fraxin-

Would you like me to be a roadster

Yes, and ever since I started to

Two Young People
Face Love More
Honestly Than
Their Parents Did.

IN TWO RARTS-PART ONE
NY dear, I know now what II means
M t. take courage in both hands.
Perhaps you viii never forgive this
letter. Perhaps you will hate being
reminded Of all we had apparently
fsrEotten. And yet, when they were
playing badminton today and your
eyes met mine I was sure you knew
what had happened.
Yes. I was almost sure that your
eyes held wonder and hope as well
as strange panic which made me trem-
bic too.
1t has actually happened. Of course
1t must have been happening all
summer only David and Clare couldn't
have known 1t until at badminton
They had never looked that way at
each other before
You saw how he ran to pick her
up when she went head over heels
trying for an impossible shetland
she Is little and fair, isn't she2 And
he held her carefully as If she might
be broken and her hair looked flaxen
against his dark brown cheek. Then
she wriggled and kicked her sun
burned legs and towsled his hair be-
fore he put her down. And she rushed
INTO another set like a little wildcat
beating him mercilessly; but when
they shook hands across the net it
was not q handshake, but a caress
Their lips trembled and their faces
were suddenly desperate and grave.
John. you looked at me then and
I knew you understood Your son and
my daughter. But how curious
that Clare's father didn't notice at
all! In fact Ned went on talking about
his dilemmas as a banker nowadays,
and think he was annoyed that you
weren't listening. He thought you were
ehildishly absorbed by an unimportant
game. Unimportant! He would have
morted impatiently If had said:
That isn't bird they have been
batting back and forth"
mot a bird? What Is it then?" he
would have asked. Juggling at his
noustache.
So I'd have changed the subject. I
always do when I have come near to
expressing anything fanciful. You see
Ned feels that fancy Is a vagabond
because it doesn't have a regular job.
He distrusts animals, emotions, and
poets for the same reason-they are
not employed eight hours day.

When Thief Meets Thief

A spending spree financed by
stolen money, which led as far as
Florida and went on the rocks when
another thief happened along, end
ed here yesterday for 17-year-old

messenger service. was called to the
Offices of the United Jewish Appeal,
1929 Sixteenth street N. w.
There he was given a bag con-
tanning $3.50 in cash and S4,700 in
checks to take to a downtown bank.
But the youth made a little detour
and, after burying the checks in a
tin can in a creek bed near Bla-
densburg road and New York
avenue NE, caught a bus to Bal
timore, the detectives quoted him as
saying.
New York was the next stop, then
Miami and Jacksonville, Fla. At the
last place he was taken" for the
5000 he had left.
After itch-hiking home, he gave
himself up, tired youngster, to
probation officer of Juvenile Court,
where, police said, he is on proba-
ton for another crime. He was be-
ing held at the Receiving Home last

Bad Example. He Tells
Hospital Service Group

Challenging the right to denounce
relationships while District citizens
remain disfranchised, Senator Cap
per, Republican, of Kansas, last
night urged the National Hospital
Service Society to support legisla-
ton that would free voteless WASH
ingtonians from the bonds which
deprive them of their just rights as
citizens"
Here and now, at time when
orderly representative government
is being challenged in many parts of
the world. say it is dangerous,
deadly, bad example to maintain at
the heart of this great democratic
republic what some of its citizens
believe is complete despotism,"
he declared.
Il ask you what right have we to
hurl denunciations and epithets at
relationships and totalitarian States
in other parts of the world when
an almost perfect example of such
irresponsible forms of government
is maintained by our own national
Government in our own national
Capital
Senator Capper. in his address,
called a lack of the right to
vote a dangerous political cancer
in the heart OF the body polite and
called for its removal without delay.
Cites District Taxes.
Saying that District residents are
public spirited. loyal and patriotic"
the speaker pointed out that they
are required in time OF war to bear
arms in the service of their country.
to fight and possibly to die, vet they
have no voice whatever in determ-
lining whether there shall be war,
or at the conclusion Of the war, as
to the terms of peace"
He reminded his audience that
the District pays annually in ma
tional taxes an amount greater than
that paid by each of more than one
half of the States and greater than
the amount collected from nine
States combined.
In addition. District residents
pay in local taxation for the sup
port and upbiulding of the National
Capital nearly 80 per cent while the
Federal Government, which is the
largest local industry, and the own
er of extensive tax-free real estate,
pays only little over 10 per cent"
he declared.
Refers to Pending Measure.
Outlining the remedy, Senator
Capper pointed out he had intro
duced in the Senate a resolution
proposing an amendment to the
Constitution that would give Con-
gress the power to enfranchise the
District and that the resolution had
the support of the Citizens Joint
Committee on National Represen-
tation.

session of Congress and am hopeful

nc crusade to combat successfully
the traffic problem. We must deal
sternly, but fairly and intelligentlv
with the problem. Emphasis should
