Cherry scrambled around gathering
the lemons as they fell. Dick stood
poised on the diving-board, evident

looking creature he was, Elizabeth

up. He really looked more like a
man than boy now, and she sud-
denly thought of Dick as he had been
when he was so tiny she could carry
him on one arm, and he was soft
and warm and smelt like talcum
powder. THAT'S how it goes" she
thought. Strange, and of course
it isn't strange at all, it's been hap
pening like this for ten thousand
years, but it still seems strange
when it happens to yourself. Now
before many years more he'll marry
some immature little girl like that

through the war. Oh, why should any

the power to send the world into

JAP WOMEN TO VOTE

The sudden opening Of the ballot

Misunderstanding milestone in the

|AROL is a very pretty
girl who married her
VI school hero; she adored
Johnnie in secret all through
her girlhood when she watched
him win football games in col
lege years, she cried when she
kissed him goodbye and saw
him off to war, and they were
married six months ago, when
Johnnie came marching home.
"He would be a perfect hus-
band" she writes me, "if he
were not so stuck on himself. I
suppose the right word for that
is 'vain,' but stuck on himself
seems to express it better.
Johnnie has been good deal
admired, he was a football idol
in our small town, and he has a
good war record-but my gra-
cious!
"On our wedding night he began
to tell me of his conquests. 1t
secretly made me sick, so that we
started off badly. 1 listened all
through the honeymoon to casual
references to girls who had made
fools of themselves over him and
married women who had abandoned
virtue when irresistible Johnnie
came along.
Naturally, this disguised me
good deal, for the nature Of these
revelations was rather shocking, but
what disheartened me more was
Johnnie's vanity and his simplicity.
He revealed in long quoted CONVEX
sations, in which this or that shy
damsel gradually surrendered to his
charms, going on to review the love
letters that pestered him while in
the service, and the praises of his
superior officers, many Of whom
envied him, his record, and his sue
cess with the ladies.
Keeps on Boosting.
"My saying, oh, please, I'm not
interested!' has no effect. Johnnie
goes right on boasting. Once or
twice I tried a back-fre, and began
on my own romantic adventures,
but that didn't interest him at all.
He hardly listened and was off
again on the fascinating history of
little Filipino girl, or little Aus
tralan nurse-it's so tiresome that
sometimes I want to scream.
"I'm aware" the letter continues,
"that I'm describing stupid, self
engrossed man, but that's not the
case. Johnnie is kind, generous.

Of course he doesn't talk this way
all the time, we both love the little
farm where we live, and Johnnie is
really clever in planning for the
chickens and fruit by which we
mean to make it pay. He is patheti-
cally pleased that baby is coming,

In Federal Agencies
By Joseph YOUNG

Chances of legislation author
izing three additional judges for
the Municipal Court were jeop-
ardized today as a heated argu-
ment broke out in the Senate
District Committee over the
qualifications for appointees for
the proposed judgeships.
Senator McCarran. Democrat. OF
Nevada declared he would fight
a proposal to allow attorneys en-
ployed in Federal agencies to be
appointed to these positions. He
said too many lawyers in govern
ment agencies are already there be-
cause of political appointments"
He said also many of these Fed
eral attorneys are not District resi-
dents. which would constitute q
discrimination against lawyers, who
reside in the District and are ir
private practice here.
Senator McCarran is author oil
one OF two biils setting up three
additional judgeships. Senator John
ston, Democrat, of South Carolina
is author of the other bill which
would allow two OF the proposed
appointees to be from outside the
District.
The heated argument occurred
when Senator Johnston declared he
would insist that the Federal at

pointments

important to the committee for two
