And that isn't all. Kitty put a

morning. Jennie was visiting Mar

said nothing about seeing Jennie in
Bills closet. l never did tell anyone
but Bill. He was inclined to pooh
pooh the whole business.
The burning question was: Should
we go to the Christmas party or
not? There was a difference of opin-
ion about what to do. Martha want
ed each one to make up a water
tight excuse and stay at home. Mil
dred Carr said ruthlessly, mo, that
won't solve anything. Jennie must
resign from the club. We can't have
a criminal in it. She must under
stand she isn't wanted" The more
determined Mildred became, the less
l wanted to humiliate Jennie. So
finally l said, Girls, you "a all
do what you like, but I'm going"
The upshot was that all of us ap-
peared except Mildred and her hus-
band.
Jennie gave us the surprise of our
lives. She had a small, beautifully
trimmed tree, with attractive look
ing packages nesting in the
branches. We simply gasped. "Jen-
mel You shouldn't have done this!"
She laughed. REALLY, 1t wasn't
much trouble. In fact, l had a lot of
fun"
After dinner the presents were dis
tributed. One by n the missing ar
ticles came to light. Kitty's face,
as she lifted her Appenzell hand
kerchief out of a dainty velvet case,
was the funniest thing I've ever

tie holder from which a tie was
hanging, and Bill did the same. Ev-
erybody was laughing uproariously
by this time, yet looking decidedly
sheepish, too. l was gazing in fasci-
nation at my present-pictures of
my children.

said, there was a gift for John Null

 Several hundred strikers lined the sidewalks across from the fac tory and cheered as they marched through the gate.
 Removal of the free access re- strictions, which the company de- clared the principal barrier to opening settlement negotiations, paved the way for immediate con- ferences. However, a new angle de- veloped today as management in- sisted on negotiating on the basis of new contract, while the union demanded that the old contract be used.
 Governor Warns Union
 Which procedure was to be fol- lowed was to be the objective of the initial conference.
 A union declaration that "any- one can enter or leave the plant who wants to-" came shortly after the governor brought officials of the union and management togeth- CT in the office of Mayor Charles E. Moore.
 He warned labor against unlaw- fu1 picketing, and told management he expected the officials would make an ernest and conscientious effort to settle"
 To Follow Suggestions
 Union Atty. Jerome Sturm said that everything would be done to insure peaceful picketing and that i've will follow any suggestions of the chief of police as the number of pickets and how they should con- duct themselves"
 The new developments offered an opportunity for the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration to re- enter the controversy. Vice-Chair- man Rev. Joseph F. Donnelly on Wednesday, following conference with both factions, announced that there appeared no point at that time of continuing discussions but that the board was ready to offer its services again.
 It was after this conference deadlock that the governor decided to personally intervene.
