It's like the house by the side
of the road except that it isn't
a little house. Are you goin 6
back to business school? "
Tomorrow morning. Why?
Did you think I wasn't going to
finish the course?
Teresa shrugged. q didn't
know. For the last 10 days
you've been exposed to some
thing far more attractive than
a typewriter. You could proba-

happy. Did he take you to have
tea with his Aunt Sara?"
Alison nodded. "Last Sun
day"
"The old lady has an except
ionally keen mind, hasn't she?
You didn't have a chance to say
very much though, did you? She
does all the talking while she
looks you over. But, after all,
Philips wife is in a way her
immortality. All the women in
the family are either sterile or
widows without children or spin
sters. The Spencer name has to
be carried on. I've an idea she
approved of you completely"
did she approve of you?"
Teresa was always a little
abashed at direct questions. 1t
was usually she who interro-
gated the other person.
"Oh, unquestionably. OF
course it isn't quite as biologi-
cal as that. They want Philip
to marry nice girl, not a
party girl. They couldn't stand
another Nicola III the family.
But raised as you were you
probably don't understand these
old, feudal, Southern families.
Any number of girls have want
ed to marry Philip and not all
of them for his money. He's the
kind who'll always be there
when you need him. He's always
been there when I've needed
him although I've never needed
him for anything serious. He's
always getting somebody out of
trouble and he has seemingly
endless patience with bores. "

Teresa moved uneasily. care

for me?" Her voice had dropped
until it was the rich, earthly one.
Her voice was beautiful when
she spoke like that. "Sam's very
proud, you know. Very proud
and very poor. But there's no
reason why he couldn't carry
on with his farm and paper and
still spend a good part of his
time here with us. I could do
much to make it easier for him.

went all over it one morning
and it has possibilities. Oh, and
incidentally, Suzy and I are
going to spend Christmas
there"
Alison pressed her fingers in
to the shorthand book.
Teresa said, "Suzy and I will
get up early Christmas morn
ing and drive down. I'll put all
the gifts in the car the night
before. Of course it wouldn' 4

who's winning. But when {

''We're going to have a won

She sounded, strangely, sim

saying she was going to have
wonderful Christmas - like E

man was Sam. Of all the men

She looked at Teresa ano
thought again that she looked
SO tired she was almost sorry
for her. Her eyes were dull and
one of her eyelids dropped
wearily. She was smoking toe
much. Tonight she looked Meth

hard-working and harassed by
harsh inner conflicts. To Teres a

Taken From Life
BY HI. A. STALLINGS

BY H. A. STALLINGS
HOLLY RIDGE, Nov. 4. -
Holly Ridge is a town that is
making successfully the transi-
ton from wartime prosperity to
peacetime progressiveness.
Here are some of the develop
ments since the war, as given
us by c. c. Hines, the post
master, and John J. Hudiburg,
proprietor of the Hudiburg
hotel:
The town has purchased and
now owns its water system and
sewer system; at Morris Land
ing, two miles south, the Inter-
national Paper company has
built a dock where it loads pulp
wood for shipment; Ottaway
and Bailey have opened a new
oyster roast; P. v. Capps,. of
Jacksonville, has opened the Va
riety store which is operated by
Garland Rhodes; Ewell Woolard
has opened the Llewllyn Beauty
Shop; c. c. Hines is making
extensive repairs to a rental
commercial building; extensive
repairs and additions have been
made in the rental dwellings
owned by DR.. L. D. Bryan; The
Vista, Barlow Chapel, and Sa-
lem Baptist churches, of which
the Rev. Ellis Pope is pastor,
have purchased a parsonage;
The Holly Ridge Baptist church,
Rev. Paul Merritt, pastor, has
purchased building which will
be transformed into a Sunday
school and church auditorium or
sanctuary.
There is no surer index to the
condition of town than the
post office receipts. While the
closing of Camp Davis dropped
the receipts to low level, the
past II months have seen the
receipts steadily increase, prov
ing that Holly Ridge is strength
ening its peacetime conditions.
Among the developments
Holly Ridge is seeking in the
near future are: Having tn e
highway from Holly Ridge to
Sears Landing taken over by the
state, in which movement Ed
Vow is a leader; having front
street or the space between the
building line and U. S. Highway
II fully paved.
Holly Ridge secures it's cleo
trio lights and power from the
Tide Water Power company and
from the R.E.A. Many Of its
streets are lighted.
The town has a progressive,
highly active Rotary club with
Ewell Woolard, president, and
Gerald Hines secretary.
Another proof of the peace
| time strength of Holly Ridge is
that the housing project on the
edge of the city, operated by
the Eastern Carolina Housi n G
authority and containing $50
dwelling units is fully occupied
and is forced to maintain a
waiting list.
Yet another indication of the
progressiveness of the town is
that John J. Hudiburg is doing
extensive advertising and send
ing out attractive publicity in
regard to guides and parties for
duck and deer hunting and deep
sea fishing. Extensive alter
ations are being made in the
Hudiburg hotel to take care of
these parties.
One of the most enjoyable
items of the trip to Holly Ridge
was tour Of the Dixon school
with the principal, c. Bruce
Hunter, who is also member
of the State Legislature. The
school recently has added a caf-
eteria and IL class rooms, MAX
ing a toal of 20 class rooms.
The school has the finest supply
Of natural lighting we have ever
seen in a school building. Each
class room has a drinking foun-
tain and lavatory. Each class
room in the primary department
has rect rooy,o for hove and

Nicolo Paganini was wizard OF
violinist, inspired Franz Liszt to
heights as a composer of music for
the piano and, according to the
stories we have heard, was often
rumored to be possessed Of the
devil. The Nicolo Paganini revealed
in THE Magic Bow" the new
photoplay at the Hippodrome, is a
wizard OF a violinist, inspires a
young lady of quality to love and
is possessed CT nothing more fright
ening than genial good humor ex-
cept at those moments when his
amour is being frustrated.
This is not quibbling. All that
"The. Magic Bow" tells us about
Pagsnini may be true, for all we
know. Even If it is not it still is a
pleasant enough fable about a great
musician who had no heart for his
work when his heart was heavy with
lost love.
THE Magic Bow" is especially
enjoyable, of course, for its sound
track, which makes 1t a thing OF
aural beauty, however you feel about
the romantic adventures of its hero.
While Stewart Granger is imper-
sonating Paganini on the screen
and wooing Phyllis Calvert, Yehudi
Menuhin is impersonating the great
violinist,, on the sound track. j
Arthur Rank, or whichever of his
henchmen had it, couldn't have had
better idea for turning a motion
