"A could not tell what the change
was in her home as they drove up

palmer view, the columns more
prominent. As DR.. Warmers SCI

thought the windows looked blind,
S as If the house had closed It's eyes
in sorrow.

Mortified. ''I'll wake up"
It wasn't possible that the gar
dens were plowed up, that the
giant oaks and elms were cut
down. But they were. Only a few
trees remained of the lovely old
grove about the house. The stumps
s shone blankly and the workmen
were still chopping on the limbs.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Kay" she heard
DR.. Warner say.
Kay was silent. Anger, such as
she had never known, was Surging
through her. Shed show this Luz
cia person that she couldn't come
into Katherine's home, cut down
her trees and demolish her garden.
She looked up at DR.. Warner.
"Such a different kind of home
coming" she began. leave my

grand time"
Goodbye, Kay" he said gent

"Yes. do" she replied. Good
She walked swiftly around the
sside of the house and as ne came
into view she heard one of the
men cry, 'Look out!'s
Kay stopped, but she didn't
move, back. The magnolia tree
that had bloomed outside her win
dow all her life crashed to the
ground so close that the limbs al
most touched her.
She looked down at it for long
moment and felt her anger die
away; only a black grief remained
in her heart, grief for the gallant
tree that had fallen. 1t seemed to
wear a look of surprise, as if it
couldn't. believe what had hap
pened. 1t lay in death holding up
its late blossoms like pale implor-
ing hands entreating her not TO
be defeated as 1t had been.

Kay swallowed hard, and spoke

The workman looked at her
white face, pity in his eyes. "Mr.
Francis sent US UP here. He told
us to do whatever Mrs. Lambert
wanted done. We've been cutting
the trees all day. Seems a shame
to cut them down. Such big ones"
Kay looked about. A few oaks
and elms remained, and the dog
wood trees that Katherine had
brought from her home in At

brightness and space close about
her.

hoped she wouldn't encounter Lu-

together. She opened the door of
her mothers old room, the one
she had taken for herself now. It
was just as she'd left it. Nothing

to duplicate this on March % when
the second social of the new year will
be held following our regular meet

Plans for protecting our jobs in
the postwar period brought forth
lively discussion. We hope every
member will see the advantage to be
gained by laying plans now to pro-
tect our trade after the war and will
do their part by attending meetings
regularly.
