so pretty"
Don't try to tell me anything
like that" Belinda's neck and back
were rigid. Il know what It takes
to be pretty. Curly hair-big blue
eyes
How can you be so childish?
You're almost IL years old. It's
time you forgot such a story-book
idea"
1T isn't story book. It's true.
I've had it proven. know what I'm
talking about"
The pleading note had left San
dra Edwards voice. II held sharp
reproval. Belinda, I've bought you
a gift Be gracious enough to ac-
cept It,"
Color raced into the little girls
face. "All right" she said CURLY,
without looking up. Thank you"
She reached for the box with dis
interested hands but, oddly, was
impatient when Sandra stopped
her.
mo, dear. I want you to try the
dress here. Come on. Hurry. may
have to alter 1t. I'll be back soon"
Sandra stepped outside. knowing
the child never would remove that
awful ruffied dress so long as she
was not alone. Sandra counted very
slowly to so. When she re-entered,
Belinda stood motionless, In a little
white slip. Her arms hung at her
sides; her eyes were downcast-
Without speaking Sandra opened
the box and slid the dress over the
child's dark head. II was a shirt
waist dress of tan and green plaid,
with a round collar Of starched
white pique. Around the hips the
skirt was smooth, with an adult
closeness, then fiared into pleats.
Sandra noted thankfully that the
length was right. She noted also
that Belinda's eyes no longer were
downcast They were twisted in
their sockets, like those of a wild
horse, as she strained to see her
self in the dressing table mirror.
That curiosity Sandra pretended
not to see. She simply went about
her work. She ysnked the belt OF
matching plaid from its loops and
replaced 1t with special belt she
had selected IN the Adobe Shop, In

odd buckle, handmade in Mexico.

SPENSER TALKED on. Sandra
had to admit that his deduction,
though childish, was accurate.

puppy"

the proper channel "Brody really

puppies, so away we dashed. To

ably was surprised when his austen
ity melted.
Dash It all, I'd like to have had
all those puppies. We had a des-
perate time trying to make up our
minds. But we finally decided on
the one called Tex. He has one tiny
white star right here" Spenser
tapped his forehead. 80, he Is

State. y'know." he explained as II

the visitor.
How did Belinda happen to see
him?" c
"She came home early and" :
Sandra interrupted. "She isn't
sick, Is she?"
"Oh, no." He put his head against
the yellow leather davenport and
stretched to his full length. There
was some sort Of teachers meeting,
so the pupils were dismissed We
had left Tex on the service porch
Estela had promised to watch him
while was at the corral. I intend
ed to hide him In my bathroom Just
before l expected Belinda home.

Actually, Sandra," he said with de-
light. II thought she was Poing to
strike me. She put Tex down-not

were filled with lightning. So that's
how l found out she likes the dog"

declared.

"You. as gentleman, should
make the FIRST offer Of concilia-

"Oh. Sandra," he pleaded. And
then: "Oh gosh!" in newly acquired
slang that made his guardian want
to smoker. "Righto," he agreed,
still unwilling, however. "I'll wager
she won't accept"
But she did. Spenser opened the
door for the little girl, calling to
Sandra: "She promised to come

She came on into the room and

Of Sandra: What do you want

Misgiving filled Sandra, caused
not only by the child's blunt in
quiry, but also by the fact that she
was wearing one Of her garland

same as that other time. That one
had blue flowers: this one had pink.

As they walked through the
small hallway the baby Irish setter

Carolina Farm Comment
By F. H. JETER

It has been my very good for
tune to have studied farming IN
North Carolina for many years.
have observed crops, good and
bad, on poor land and fertile land,
and | have visited farms in every
single county of the 100 of this
state. 1t is always interesting,
therefore, to go from one section
to another and to observe the de-
cided difference in crops and IN
farming methods.
The other afternoon l had the
privilege of visiting in the Kenly
section of upper Johnston County.
From Smithfield to kenly is one
of the rich crop sections of eastern
North Carolina, and while the to-
bacco there is "buttoning' little
low. due to the season, | have
never seen better prospects for
crops in all this territory. T h e
Kenly business men have just or
ganized a civic club and they tell
me that one of their main objec-
tives will be to help build up the
agricultural prosperity of h
section.
The president of the new club
called upon the members for sug-
gestions as to what activity would
serve the best interests of the COM
munity and it was interesting to
note that the promotion OF good
farming and rural welfare ranked
first among the answers.
Two afternoons later, visited
Greene County at the invitation OF
Mrs. Nell Butler, home agent, to
attend meeting of the County
Council of home demonstration
clubs held in the courthouse al
| Snow Hill. AS was the case of the
trip from Smithfield to Kenly, SC
is the drive northeastward from
Goldsboro to Snow Hill. 1t goes
through one of North Carolina s
garden spots. Fine corn, promis,
ing tobacco, lots of soybeans,
much of which is inter planted
with the corn, fairly good cotton
and gardens everywhere. 1t was
very hot that afternoon and as !
made my way to Snow Hill, l saw
stalwart young men. stripped to
! the waist, cultivating the crops.
