Miss Edith, honey, / heard
some news. Esther folded her
hands across her pump stomach
and looked down at her employer
with an air of portentous Solem-
nifty. That Eldon woman is leavin'
for New Yawk tonight, and she
amt comm back.
Edith tried 10 silence her. but
she was too late. Betsy stood al
the living room window, listening.
'ESSie, what on earth are you
talking about?" she demanded.

Esther muttered. Miss Edith, I'm
sure sorry. l didn't knew she was

OF course you didn't. It's all
right. But l can't imagine why
MRS. Eldon is going away. Perhaps
she and Peter have decided TO be
married in New York. But | can't
imagine why. when they've made
all their plans to be married here
in Centervilie.
Miss Edith, honey, you rec..on
that woman changed her mind
about marrying-up with MIR
Peter?"
Edith caught her breath. "Oh,
no, she couldn't do that. I'm sure
she wouldn't do such thing
Why, it wouldn't be decent"
Esther made no comment, and
her wise old eyes were inscru-
table. But she had her own opin-
ion of Marcia and her reactions
to things other people considered
decent.

PLY surprised by the accomplish
ments of the schools players, and

why. In the last fifteen months

six USLTA tournaments, placed
its top three aces in the first five
Of Island tennis, and entered four
teen girls in the 1851 City Cham
pionship. One of the fourteen,
Marie Rendueles, won the City til
tie, and another, Eleanor Cato,
reached the Semi-finals in a field

OF the object of the informal get
together Mrs. Rendueles said:
We realize that the old court
at the Convent is SO worn and pit
ted it is no longer playable. But
1t can serve as the foundation for
the new concrete surface we wish
TO obtain.
We have already discussed the
need for our own school court with
Mrs. Caro-. president of the Alum
nj Association and with Mrs. Cobo,
head Of the Huose Mothers group,
and both have advised us TO meet
