The Philippines, although rich

Chapter n
DAWN was breaking IN The
- east when Garrett and Fe-
licity drove back across the
bridge to the trailer camp. Al
the sound of their car Ma Green's
cottage door opened and she
beckoned to them.
"You two might Just as well
have some breakfast with me-
she greeted them Hospitality. I'm
not ashamed to admit I've been
watching for you. What was the
party like? Did you have a good
timer"
Felicity helped her set the
table while Garrett stradd1ed a
chair, and gave the delighted
and appreciative Ma Green an
amusing account Of the festivities.
Felicity fingered to help clear
the table. But Ma Green pushed
her into a chair and said sternly,

thought any about what you're

Felicity shook her head. "No-

From what he said after you
and Garry left. it looks to me like
he plans to stay on quite q spell.
said Ma Green trifle tartly.
Felicity stiffened in quick de-
Tense of her father.
There's no room for him In
that trailer of yours" said the
woman firmly.
Felicity had been thinking Of
the same thing.
"Now. I've been thinking" Ma
Green went on. after a moment.

could rent him room"
But we couldn't pay you any
thing much"
"And he could earn the rent
of the room by doing odd Jobs
about the place." Ma Green fin-
ished, as though Felicity hadn't
spoken.
Odd Jobs! Felicity caught her
breath. She opened her mouth to
offer a protest, but before she
could speak a voice spoke from
the open doorway.
That's a most kind and gen.
erous offer, Madame" said Father
trifie grandly, "and I shall be
very happy to accept It."
Ma Green studied him coolly,
her craving head a little on one
side, her eyes shrewd and not
unkind behind her steel-rimmed
spectacles.

TRUTHFUL.

Did you notice any suspicious
characters in the neighbor-
hood?" the London magistrate
inquired.
Sure" replied the new Irish
policeman. Il saw but one man,
and asked him what he was
doing there at that time o'night.
Sez he: I have no business here
just now, but | expect to open a

vicinity later on and stole $50

managed to persuade him 70 send
the book OF to Well-knoWn
agent ii New York. For Felicity
had reasoned that the agent
could cushion the shocks Of dis
appointment that repeated reiec-
tions Of the book would mean.
She wanted him to start q new
book, but she knew the time
wasn't ripe for that And so she
encouraged him to 20. fishing
with Jason; which isn't as frivo-
lous as it sounds, for there was
a steady demand for such fish as
they could catch and Jason was
earning several dollars a week
above the necessary expense of
hiring boat, his equipment and
bait. Garrett became enthusiastic,
his DARK mood lifted, and Felicity
breathed a little more freely.
Garrett was still subject to
moods Of dependency and would
not even consider starting an
other book. And when Garrett
made a trip to the postoffice and
came back looking blacker than
[ever-and with a package under
his arm that Felicity recognized.
her heart sank into her very boots.
Felicity looked down at the
letter from the agent. It was curt
to the point of insolence. Accord
ing to the letter, the agent had
felt that the story was clumsiIy
written, that it lacked dramatic
value, that the characters did
not come to life" and that there
was so little to recommend it he
didn't want it hanging around
his Office.
Felicity let him talk. Let him
put into words all the bitter dis
appointment he had felt on find
ing the book once more on his
hands. He had been so cocky, so
sure that the book was good: that
the first publisher to whom it was
submitted would Jump at it! And
this fiat, brutally brief letter from
the agent seemed to slam the door
in his face.
Felicity said after a moment.

To Mrs. H. M. s., Silver Spring
Many. many thanks for the Won
derful ideas reaped from your
column. In reply to H. M. S., who
inquired about a rotary ironer
made by the company whose two
initials are the 9TH and 5th letters
of the alphabet. I have had one
for some time and have been more
than satisfied with it until I
visited my mother recently. She
has the new flat-type ironer made
by the same company which, in
my opinion is the very best type
that can be had. I was amazed
at the things that can be done on
it and with such ease. After
watching a demonstration once ]
was able to sit down and do shirts
in no time at all. OF course. be-
sides being able to do the regular
weeks laundry on it, you have the
added feature of being able to
press pants. skirts, etc. My ad-
vice would be to look into the ad-
vantages Of the fiat type ironer
before buying one Of the roller
types. I hope you will be as en-
Unused as I am. I feel safe in
recommending it as quite a num-
Der of mothers friends who have
them are well pleased.
Also does this liquid which
gives the plastic finish to lin
oleum take" on a bathroom tile
floor and how does it hold up. or
would it be better to put several

for something that can be easily
rubbed over everyday without
having to scrub.
