A NAN IN THE HOUSE
By Florence Stuart

Chapter
TT was nearly In the fall when
! the rumors began. All was not
moonlight and roses between
Jane Whittier and her good
looking professor husband.
The rumors were baseleSs, for
the most part, as small-town ru-
mors often are. They were found
ed on envy as much as anything.
They had been married three
years and no one had been able
TO discern the tiniest rift between
the Whittiers.
Carl was older than Jane,
twenty-nine or Whereabouts to her
twenty-three. But this difference
seemed just about right, just as
everything about their marriage
seemed right. When they ap-
peared in public. invariably
someone would whisper: Aren't
they the most ideal couple you
ever saw" And they were.
Jane had beauty, background,
quite a little money of her own,
and IN addition she was a perfect
darling.
Carl was a more quiet, even a
grave type. He was much better
looking, much more attractive
than you might expect a pro-
lessor to be.
So there they were. Jane and
Carl Whittier. Professor and Mrs.
Whittier. Happy. Not a care in
the world And simply crazy
about each other.
Jane was still idling dreamily
In bed when the phone rang
several moments later. Aunt Mae
said that she was coming over
in about half an hour, and If Jane
had an appointment at the beauty
parlor she'd just have to cancel
ii.
I'm sorry to upset your plans,
Jane dear, but what have to
say to you is more important
than any hair wave. BY the way,
how is Carl?"
carl is fine" Jane said. "Just
fine" She grinned as she graded
the receiver. That was Aunt Mae
for you. Ordering Jane around

the age she had been when James
parents had died, within a month
Of each other, and Aunt Mae,
never one to shirk her duty, had
moved over to the Markell home
to take over the job Of raising
Jane.
WHEN Aunt Mae arrived, thirty
w minutes later, Jane was
dressed and down in the kitchen
making coffee.
She sat down at the kitchen
table, took a bit of flannel from
her bag, wiped her gold-rimmed
glasses, then fitted them carefully
back in place.
Aunt Mae said now: "Are you
worrying about anything?"
Jane brought the coffee pot
over to the table. snow, darling, /"
she smiled at Aunt Mae, what
would be worrying over? Don't

Europe.
Lillian and left Key West at
200 o'clock a. m, May 18th, 1853

Iin-law, Toby Bruce, arriving In
Miami just before noon where we

for New York and then to leave
New York on Friday, May 18th, on
the French Liner Liberte arriving
at lie Harve, on Thursday, May
2lst, but due to the strike on the
French Liner, the sailing was can
lcelled. We were advised of the
strike on Friday, the 9Th of May,
and Immediately arranged to get
passage on the BoAc plane on
Tuesday, May 18th. Lillian and ]
were coming back on the same
line but Rosina and Curry were
coming back on the lie de France.
Inasmuch as the BOAC plane did

poinciana were blooming and the
whole place was an array of color.
We stayed in Nassau until 4:30
when we left for Bermuda arriv-
ing there at 500 o'clock EST.
/ We remained in Bermuda FOR
three and half hours instead OF
the usual one hour; the reason for
this stay was that the plane was
going directly from Bermuda to
London nonstop instead of going
by the way of Gander. We left al
1890 EST. and arrived in London
eleven and one half hours later.
The distance from Bermuda to Lon.
don is approximately. $500 miles
The plane was travelling at about
SIS miles per hour and the trip
was smooth. None of US were air
sick and the food was very good.
When we arrived In London, We
noticed that it was 500 p. m. Lon.
don time but it would have been
twelve o'clock noon EST. The Bri.

 NEWS
By c L. Anderson Superintendent of Schools

$ z% - q
 The Wrangell Public Schools opened their doors Tuesday morn ing, September T, to the largest en- rollment they have ever had. There are approximately three hundred and ten children in school with 15 or 20 in town who have not as yet been able to enroll Several high school students are still fishing and the enrolment is expected to ex- ceed 325.
 The boys and girls were evident ly eager to get back to school ae the first arrival on the school grounds came at ' a. m. and before the doors were opened at g o'clock the crowd had swelled until they pressed one pane out of the glass in the front door which was sit locked. The children of WrangeH are, indeed, eager to get an educa- tion.
 It is necessary to use the fire hall as an overflow receiver again this year due to the increased en- rollment. It is to be desired that at some time in the future the fire hall can be returned to the dity and the classroom again contained in a school building.
 Several harried school teachers have asked that apologies be offer ed. particularly to parents of child ren new at the Wrangell PubE5a Schools, in that they were too busy to entertain visitors on the opening day of school, and they have asked, me to tell them that parents are al- ways welcome to visit the classes in which they have children. and. Il might add, that applies to the en- tire school.
 Several new classes have been offered in the high school and aT- engagements are now under way to offer a class in high school art taught by Herschel K. Beane of the seventh grade, a local artist of re- pute.
 The building and grounds have never looked nicer and in reply to several questions, a new flag pole on the school is expected in the very near future.
