PROMISE OF DELIGHT
BY Mary Howord

Anthea laugh one day by SAYING
that she was beginning to have a
lot of sympathy for Blanca, be-
cause cooking for Mario was like
cooking for a perpetual party.
One night, as she went slowly
up the path, and as she stood on
the porch, she felt tentative
pull at her skirt. She shrank back
with a little cry of fear, staring
down into the darkness. A ia
miliar voice came out of the
blackneSs, voice charged with
tears, hoarse with misery. do
not be afraid, signorina, it is only
me. Please, Signorifad =. please

~Bidnca!" Anthea stood stiIl,
then opened the door. "An right,
suppose you'd better come in -
Grdzid, signorind -. you are
YER good" Blanca followed her
into the kitchen. Anthea switched
the lights on and looked at her
visitor. She looked bedraggled
and tired and old. Her sallow
cheeks were tear-stained, and
there were great shadows round
her eyes.
"How on earth did you get
here?" she asked.
Il got a plane. Mr.. Joe put me
on train for Italy, but ! get off,
and come-a here. All my money

there is my home. If tell you ali
the truth, perhaps you will speak
to him, and ask him to forgive
me-"
"Mr. Joe put you on the train
for Italy?" said Anthea. "Where
was Gina?"
''He left her, UP in the noun
tains, and came back. Too late
you had gone"
you're tired said Anthea
calmly, though her heart began to
race. 4And hungry. I'll get you
something. -
She went to the cupboard and
took out the percolater. but BIZ

Anthea gave her a little CRATE

sympathy, unsentimental, brac-

Anthea easily fell into the old
routine at home. It was easier
than she had imagined. And there
was a lot to do-a mound of COR
respondence for Mario, not to
mention driving to and fro to the
studios with him, to see the
scenes they had taken in the
south of France in the projection
room. Also, there was plenty to
do at home. Someone had to tidy
round after Mario at his own
place, and as he took his meals
with the Graingers' there was al
ways extra work. And Mario had
no mean appetite. Marian made

No final decision has been made

alphabetically to French Premier
Rene Mayer. They expect him to
make such a request next month
during White House visit.
In advance of Mayors visit,
Cabinet-level planners are report

Like others before him, Hank is
scared to tamper with a second

IF he would look II up. he would
discover that team which fin

pennant the next year. Usually
they make the big jump up from

Garbage DisposaIs
Need Big Septic Tank

Homes that install garbage dis
posal units will need larger sep
tic tanks unless sewage disposal
systems were planned to include
disposal units.
Ordinary kitchen wastes car
be disposed of through septic
tanks if the tanks have sufficient
capacity to handle extra loads, y
says 1. P. Blauser, engineer in
the Agricultural Extension Serv-
ice, Ohio State University.
For ordinary usage, the Depart
ment of Agriculture recommends
a septic tank with a liquid ca
pacity of approximately 100 gal
Ions for each person living in
the house, with a minimum of
500 gallons capacity for a or few
er persons. If a garbage disposal
unit is connected to the system,
the liquid capacity should amount
to at least 200 gallons per per-
son, or a minimum capacity OF
1000 gallons.
Sludge depth in the tank should
be checked about once a year
Blauser says, especially if there
is any question about the capac-
ity of the tank relative to the
d e m an d S of the household il
serves. Sludge, or solid deposit
should be cleaned out when il
accumulateS to a third of the
tanks total liquid capacity.
