THE taxi left Martina at the
L gateway in the tall brown
hedge. Her luggage was being sent
out from the city later by truck,
SO she only carried small over
night case. She pushed open the
gate and started up the hagstone
walk rejecting that 1t was bless
edly reassuring to find something
in this chaotic world as completely
unchanging as her parents gray
stone house.
The March wind was high and
wild. blowing gusts of snow into
the gulleys as if loath to let go the
/. icy, clinging fingers of winter.
Martina, finding the door locked
and waiting for someone to answer
the bell, shivefed and reflected
that it was hard to realize that a
few weeks hence the brown hedge
would turn green and become the
habitatlon of countless returning
bird Observation-Disclosures.
There was the sound of foot
steps and the door opened. Gwen
Wayland stood there, the warm
light behind her etching a figure
that retained the contours of
youth and beauty She squinted a
little at her daughter in the un-
certain light,
Martina! Dearest! Darling!"
she cried on 9 high, excited, lovely
note, "0h, Tina, am glad to see
you! I've been so worried. Mar
tin! Our Baby's herem
She was drawn into the warm
fragrant circle of her mothers
arms as Martin Wayland came
from the den at the back of the
house, pipe in one hand, book in
the other. Her fathers young blue
eyes were twinkling with de-
lighted kindness.
They are really glad to see
mem Martina's heart exulted,
"even if they only came up once
after | left the hospital. They're
SO completely absorbed in each
other - and what darlings they
arei"
The Waylands - gay, sophisti-
Gated, charming - escorted Mar
tina into the living room as if she
were distinguished guest. The
oaK-Deameo celllng ana paneled
walls reflected the CLEAN of fire.
light and lamplight. The deep
cushioned chairs and sofas, the
flash of pewter and copper, made
1t a good room, happy room to
come home to. Once more Mar
tina experienced the feeling Of
permanence, of changelessneSS.
Strange how two people who
never stayed any place longer
than few weeks could have Gre
ated such an illusion of stability.
But in spite of the fact that they
stayed in it little, the Waylands
loved the old house passionately
and Martina remembered once
hearing Gwen put the feeling into
words strangely like those
that had just run through her own
mind. Leaning lovingly against
the Intel, caressing it with her
hands as if it were something
warmly alive, Gwen had said, "a
good house, Martina good house
to come home to-" @ q"
Martin said, "It's a little sur
prising, Tina, having you drop in
like this. We thought your radio
programs would be claiming all
your time againm

known that she had not yet gone
back on the air. Martina's eyes,

'MOST ev'rything bout sum-

it if I could; I dislike just one
thing it's got and that is it's so
dang-blamed hot. But even heat
is not SO tough for any one with
sense enough to follow Mother

their walters cool, it's only man
that is a fool.
That is, most men r fools but
ne; why, right from here I plainly
see my neighbor and his hired
man out workin' just as hard's
they can. I'd feel some pity for
those guys, 'cept they need not be
so unwise, 'cuz all they have to
do is look at me and borrow from
my book. Whene'er the sun begins
to scorch I settle down upon the
porch, and 1 don't move at all, by

Emily Post

Questions about names are al
ways among the letters: DO
names which are engraved (either
visiting cards or invitations have
to be spelled in full? That is, If
a man is always called by his
second name and only uses the
initial of his first, does the name
have to be spelled in full in these
two instances?"
According to strict formality.
engraved names should be spelled
out in full. But according to gen.
orally accepted usage, initials are
not infrequently used, especially
when a name is unusually long.
Introducing School Guests
Dear Mrs. Post: At a formal
school dance is it necessary Tor
each student to introduce MS
guest to all the guests and men,
bers of the faculty who are pres
ent?
Answer: Certainly, he should
introduce her to those members
who are receiving and to any
others who may be standing near
them, but he should not make q
tour Of the room.
Widow Asks About Rings
Dear Mrs. Post: When does =
widow discard her first wedding
ring-when she marries or when
she becomes engaged? Would
it be unsuitable for her to con-
tinue wearing her first rings II
she does so on her right hand?
Answer: Whether she removes
her first engagement ring per-
manently or puts it on her right
hand the day she accepts a second
engagement ring, is a question
of her fiance's feelings. She puts
her wedding ring on her right
hand, If she has not already done
so, the day her second engagement
is announced, and takes it OF tho
day of her second wedding.

1--WE did it," shouts the Anchor
age Times.
Doggone it, Anchorage has done
it again! The best, the worst, the
latest and the first, Anchorage is
always on the ball and in there
plugging. Now they have set the
all time record for snow fall! I tell
you those folks can't be beat. How
did they do it?
We here in Seward just sit back
and let nature take its course, snow
and rain being such common place
things that we don't even bother
to measure them. But not Anchor
age!
Other cities in Alaska grumble
about the Big City" getting
everything for itself. The Congress,
the Territorial Legislature, ARR,
the Army, the Chamber of Com
merce-now even the elements
work for Anchorage.
Or do they? Maybe it is just that
the city has a good publicity agent.
So far as 1 am concerned, I'm per-
fectly happy to sit tight in Seward,
where we have no record snow to
clean off, no extreme tempera-
lures, no army, no s%hootings, rob-
berries or gambling. Where our po-
lice department is reliable and eff
ficient, where our volunteer fire
men will put out a neighbours fire
even if he lives miles from town.
In Seward, where our bars and
night clubs work with the civic
clubs and City Council for the
good of the town.
Yes, I'll stay in Seward ever if
we didn't have a record snowfall
to boast about.-How about you?
