she asked, How is the play ?"

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE


ANETTE COULD not help look
Ing for James Lyndon when she
came out Of the theater the fol-
lowing night, but he was not there.
Time grew into weeks-two, three,
a month, and still he made no at
tempt to see her. Gradually she re-
Taxed, except when she was on
stage. Then she knew he was
watching her. She could feel his
eyes on her just as they had been
that night he had made his awk-
ward attempt at a declaration.
Despite that nervousness, she
was extremely happy. The life she
was leading with Larry and Au-
gust, the sort of perpetual picnic,
pleased her. The two usually had
rehearsed for an hour or so before
she got up. which left them free to
relax and lunch while she had
breakfast.
A delightful and unusual cam
araderie formed their hours to-
gether. August was a different per-
son, a person without vanity and
with no time for any emotions ex-
cept the fake ones Of the play.
She said one noon when she
looked exceptionally bad, I'm
hereby proving that consider you
my closest friend, Anette. I would
not let anyone except Katie and
you and Larry see me like this
and Of course dear Joe, the play
wright And I just do it to scare
him"
The girl felt herself wanting to
cry over the strange tribute, yet
knew August would be rabidly sar-
castle If she did, so she replied, ad-
herring to the light trend, For that
matter you scare me, August"
Never had the girl had so much
time with Larry. Every afternoon,
except matinee days Of THE Vio-
lent Flame" August left them
alone, purposely, Anette knew and
was doubly baffled over the older
actress who was so contradictory.
so full Of strange impulses that
she knew she would never really
know her.
While Anette went to the the
ater, August and Larry worked
again so that he was free when
she returned. Late at night, they
walked in the cool parkway, beside
the trafic-flled drive, bareheaded,
unnoticed in their plain, inexpen-
sive summer clothes.
Just another young couple. Often
they strolled over to upper Broad
way for fresh peaches, huge blue
plums, Bartlett pears and white
grapes. Or, perhaps they went to
The Grid die where a pseudo
nanny tapped wheat cakes.
There they ate and talked and gig
gled, while they held hands un-
ashamedly.
So the summer went in a series
Of hot, sticky days, uncomfortable
actually, but heavenly to Anette.
They seemed more heavenly. when
viewed in retrospect. For when the
first n!Ppy mornings and evenings
arrived, bringing people back to
town, the three moved back to the
Sussex, and August and Larry pre-
pared for actual stage rehearsals
with the entire cast.
1t turned cold with that frosty
cold Of fall and the beautiful sum-
mer dream was over There began

which Anette scarcely saw aer hus-

There are many kinds Of busters,
and probably there are various per
sonal preferences regarding them.
/ like the Niagara type two-quart
hand duster for Bordeau-arsenate
in the home garden, either a two
quart or one-quart Niagara buster
for sulphur and either a
one-quart or one-pint Niagara buster
for Rotenone. There are other
good NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., but care
should be taFFfS in choosing be-
tween them because not all busters
are reliable. For trees, | like a bel
lows type OF knapsack buster. For
potato patches as large as one-eighth
acre or larger. like the rotary type
knapsack buster. Knapsack busters
are carried by means OF straps over
the shoulders, the bellows type be-
ing carried on the back. and the
rotary type on the front OF the
body. Good knapsack busters cost
between SO and 500, but the hand
busters. being smaller and less com
plicated, cost from 81 to 50. Hand
busters are just as effective as
knapsack busters, but It takes long
er 10 do the Job If the job is large.
For small jobs the hand buster IS
quicker because less time Is re
quired to load it and to get It into
action.
busting Of flowers and vegeta-
bles should begin as soon Is the
plants are about four inches tall
and should be repeated about every
10 days in order to protect the new
leaves that are continually being
formed. If it should rain before the
end of the 10 day period, you should
dust the plants again As soon as
possible because the rain usually
washes much of the chemical from
the leaves. Fungus diseases get
their best start during a rain. The
chemical should be on the leaves
before the rain. If it Is put onto the
leaves just following rain, it will
help control the diseases that may
have gotten started during the lat
ter part of that rain, and will be
present on the leaves ready TO help
control the diseases during the first
part of the next rain. Generally
speaking, the danger period begins
a few minutes after the rain starts
and continues until about three or
four hours after 1t stops raining.

Motorists In State
 Conserve Gasoline
60I ,60S Less Gallons of Fuel Consumed Last Month
 Compared to March l94I; January Offsets Record

Connecticut motorists voluntarily cirtailed consumption of gasoline during March of this year, using B0l s698 less gallons of fuel than dur Ang March, 1e4I. But, because of substantial gasoline consumption recorded during January of this year, gallonage for the first quarter of 1s42 exceeds last year by 1,l46,- O67 gallons, indicating an assumed Increase in motor vehicle movement for the period of 14,89S,87l miles.
 Commissioner John T. Mccarthy Of the Department of Motor Vehi- cles stated, in releasing the above figures, that as of March 3l this year, the department has registered nearly S4,0O0 more units than a year ago which indicated that individual car use during March dropped near ly hundred miles over March of year ago.
 Be believe that Connecticut mo- torists responded splendidly to the call for voluntary rationing," the commissioner said. Tt must be kept in mind that the gasoline situation did not become serious until a few weeks ago. February consumption of gasoline, which presumably tn- dicates motor vehicle use, fell oil 3O6,466 gallons and March dropped 801 ,698. This loss Of 1,l08,l64 gall Ions was absorbed in the unusual January increase of 2,253,231 gallons so that the net result was greater gas consumption for the quarter It. self"
 Gasoline tax receipts for the first quarter this year were $2,5l5, ,473.24 or $34,908.54 greater than for the same period last year.
 Despite this increase for the first quarter" stated Commissioner Me- Carthy, i've naturally anticipate substantial reduction in gasoline tax receipts for the year with the pro- posed rationing plan effective May IS and reduced total registrations for this year, as compared with 1941, because of other restrictions.
 "Our research section estimates that the probable receipts this year from the gasoline tax will be about $8,0O0,000 as compared with $l2093,- 466.03 collected last year. This esti- mate is based on an approximate 5Oes reduction in gasoline sales on and after May 15. There are so many variable factors concerned that 1t is impossible to arrive at a fixed estimate. However, there can
