SHORT SHORT

NTow, late at night, in the dangerous privacy
~ of their bedroom, the quarrel was almost
over 1t could only have taken place between
man and woman who for long time had
loved each other with deep sincerity and
growing misunderstanding. They were willing
now, after endless, acrid hours to let it be
over because each of them felt in their hurt
that their marriage was over. 1t was just
question of ending it - like ending play.
moment, say the words admitting it and
so bring on the end. The husband - Don
Harding, who was a writer and the more
articulate, finally spoke them. Sitting up
right in the big four-poster bed, he looked
at his pretty wife with her sleek midnight
hair, and. in his bitterness, wondered for
a moment how he could ever have found
her beautiful.
''lr's shame, Anne - it was beautiful -
for so long US, mean -" He paused and
looked closely at his wife who was sitting
very still and pale, her yellow silk negligee
wrapped close about her.
Anne saw mistiness dim the hardness in
his eyes for second.
Then the inevitable words of release. Its
perfectly obvious that you can't stand living
here with me-" Don made the signing sound
of man lifting heavy weight. Il think
you'd better 60 to Boston - and visit your
mother pay her long visit"
Anne got up off the bed, moved to take
cigarette from the many -mirrored dressing
table, so that looking at her in the mirrors he
saw not only one wife but many of them.
The mirrors magnihed the unhappiness in her
face until he thought that no one woman
could be as unhappy as she seemed.
He considered saying this. but it was too
late. 1t was cold war now. She lighted the
cigarette and turned to him.
Il think your suggestion is very good
Don" she said with deadly politeness. Sally
Anne and will leave for Mothers tomorrow
morning."
She started for the guest room, but as she
passed the bed, he caught her wrist held it
50 tightly it hurt.
NO." he said, "Saly-Anne stays here.
Out in the country where it's healthy -
where she belongs" He took a deep breath.
1T won't hurt her to be alone with me - she
doesn't think I'm heel because let a lot of
bills pile up while I got going again after
the war She doesn't try to make me think
I'm failure by practicing petty economies

Before the disinfection begins,
the house should be cleaned of
all old or decayed potatoes and
other debris and the floor should
be swept clean. All old crates
should also be cleaned and re-
paired and then the house is
ready for the disinfection. which
must be through if it is to be
effective.
According to Mr.. Colmer, the
cheapest method is to spray all
parts of the inside of the house
with a solution of one pound of
copper suphate (bluestone) in
Is gallons of water. Re-
peat in "a hours. To dis
solve the bluestone quickly. it
should be hung in a sack near
the top of the water. Any used
crates, boxes or other containers
which will be used in handling
the crop should also be dipped in
added to a barrel of this solution
of hydrated lime or stone lime is
this solution. If five or six pounds
u will enable one to see whether
or not the spray is completely
covering all parts of the build
ing.
Another material which can be
used effectively in fumigatine
potato storage houses is formalde.
