I choice from among three courses: 1. Summon a rump Democratic contention to place conservative presidential and vice presidential candidates in the 1936 race. 2. Commit their organization to support the Republican LandonKnox ticket. 3. Undertake individual anti new deal campaigns in their respective state*.

SYNOPSIS Try as *he might, Lynn Bartel, young mannequin at Dunning’s, could not be intimate with the girls at the shop. It was not that ‘ (he acted superior, but her ini nate good breeding and aristocratic air placed her on a f higher social level than the others. Lynn's mother had been a southern ' society belle, but she sacrificed 1 wealth and position to marry John Bartel and go to Chicago with him. Following his death, Marion Bartel preferred to struggle along in meagre circumstances rather than return to her ? family. It was Mrs. Bartel’s delire that Lynn have the best trainr ing and background possible so, ■ despite financial straits, she sent her to the exclusive Merwin-Heath • School. Lynn had no friends for she could not invite her schoolmates to the simple room she ihared with her mother at Mrs. Kime’s boarding house, and Mrs. Bartel never permitted her to asI sociate with girls she met elsewhere. Mrs. Bartel planned great ' things for her daughter but she died while the girl was still at school. So Lynn left school and went to work. Her wealthy and pampered cousin, “Doti” Merchon ' invites Lynn to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. Lynn is very light hearted as she goes to business the next morning, intent on asking permission to go south. Her happiness is short-lived, however, for I her employer infers that she will 1 lose her job if she goes. Susanne, a fellow-worker, urges Lynn to go anyway, adding. “If you stay in one port very long you get your hull covered with barnacles that j finally get the best of you. No i more voyages then.” CHAPTER VI | Susanne’s prescience made Lynn think of Miss Allerton, anchored in her monotonous routine of life—no adventure, no emotions, no one in her circumspect existence who was more is-portant than her static self. The vision frightened her a little. She supposed that Miss Allerton would be horrified at Susanne’s pedantic philosophy, but—she envied Susanne her renunciation of caution. Os course, she did not wish to be like Susanne, but neither did she wish to follow in the straight and stupid path of Miss Allerton. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, the old axiom reminded her. "I suppose you are right,” she said thoughtfully, and felt the reaction of the challenge within her. “If only I had a little more saved —’’ “Sure," Susanne scoffed, “if we all had everything just right, we’d do a lot of things different. But it’s the people who push off in an open boat with only a big supply of courage and determination who get what they’re going after. Now me—just give me a sink-swim chance for something more exciting and I’ll leap in without even a life belt.” Lynn was accustomed to her odd and extravagant metaphors, which unused and interested her. If only the talents of audacious people like Susanne might be developed into definite progress, instead of being suppressed by the petty demands of existence! What literature her zest and courage, imagination and gift of comparison might produce, if it were developed and inspired! The fallacy of Lynn’s decision vi- likewise pronounced by Mrs. Kime. She was less inclined than ' Susanne to advise throwing caution to the winds, but her philosophy leaned toward the belief that Lynn would be sure to find work when she returned, providing Mr. Lowry would not take her back. That, she doubted. He only wished to prevent her going, if he could. But the weight which was much more than a gram in the balancing of her decision was the letter from Doti, by return air mail, special delivery, which could not accept her refusal for an instant; which implored and cajoled and promised lavishly. Almost, one could have discerned between the lines the sequence of juvenile tantrums in similar oppositions. But of course, Doti was grown up, now. The words were refined and gracious, even though they were as emphatic and disturbing as pounding heels and wild shrieks. And then, Mr. Lowry added his little gram, with a surprising flour-

the Jeffersonians had no sympathy for Ihe union party presidential candidacy of Rep. William Lemke who, in many respects, is more in conflict with conservative tradition than is Mr. Roosevelt. SOCIETY N AMES rcnyTTKr’En FRC’.M ed data might be as accurate as ' possible. Mr. Kolter was nauned curator because of the work he has already accomplished as chairman ' of the museum committee. Earl Adam* is now preparing the copy for the charter member-

ish, and the scales of decision fell all the way on one side with a definite thud. It was a very long time before Lynn was able to understand his sudden suggestion, and even then she was puzzled at the revelatU Mr. Lowry had said to her on that Saturday morning, when he specified what models she would display in the tea room, “By the way, Miss Bartel, have you decided to take your vacation ? ” Lynn looked at him with puzzled uncertainty. “Why—l understood, Mr. Lowry, that you couldn’t spare me for a week.” His half smile indicated amusement. “Oh, I think we could manage.” , “But —I should like to be sure I might return,” she insisted with a fearful hope.

Sites I 6$ r Si ZrTA® ' :s '' Lynn collected her clothes and dressing case and hurried into the dressing-room.

“To be sure. Why not?” he said, as if any other possibility were dismissed. “Oh, I’d be so grateful for the opportunity." Lynn floundered for words. “It’s the week after next I'd like to be away.” The rebound of her vanquished hopes was powerful enough to make Lynn want to do something dramatic, but she controlled the impulse until she had an opportunity to confide the news to Susanne, who supplied the verbal enthusiasm. So another letter went flying south that night, like a late migrating bird. And the reply which Lynn read three days later was eloquent of the gratified child. That week before her departure was a flurry of lunch-hour shopping, evening alterations with Mrs. Kime's assistance and last-minute packing. A few new clothes were imperative. Nothing she possessed was adequate for formal dining and masked balls. She could not indulge in an expensive costume that would be impractical for future use, so she contrived a masquerade costume to represent the spirit of the Crescent City. For this she found a gown of cobalt blue sprinkled with silver stars, and fashioned a headdress of a silver crescent which glistened effectively on one side of her dark head. A smaller crescent masked her shining dark eyes and completed the costume. A jacket ensemble of rose lace she discovered at a bargain and matched with inexpensive costume jewelry for dinner wear. A tailored taffeta suit with a gay plaid blouse offered smart traveling attire, and Lynn revived as much of her previous summer wardrobe as would be useful for her short visit. It seemed like the end of a wild dream when she was settled in he;

ship cards which, according to the constitution adopted two yews ago. will sell for 50 cents each. They will be good for the balance of 1936 and for the year 1937. They will be dated as of the Centennial celebration. < For the present collected arti- ( eles and WMorical data will be left in the court house, by speciaJ arrangement with the county com mlssioners. ... . — —o— - •"• What was Grandad’s style of Neckwear?

darkened berth on Saturday night and could feel the gentle shudder of the Pullman wheels clicking over the rails with increasing speedseemed ridiculous to make this elaborate preparation for Bleep, when she was sure it would not be possible to sleep a wink. She lay on her pillow and stared out into the semidarkness with black objects flying across it like bats in a cave, and occasional blinking of distant lights that pricked it like fireflies in twilight , . But somehow, the rhythmic click of the wheels and the sound of rushing silence lulled her to insensibility, and the next thing Lynn knew she awoke with crashing sounds all about her to find the sun shining on her face and great commotion everywhere inside the train and outside on the platform of a strange

city station. Baggage trucks clattered past her window, voices and shouts filled the clear morning air which already was much warmer than that which she had left a few hours previously. Lynn collected her clothes and dressing case and hurried into the dressingroom. She did not wish to miss a minute of this exciting day. She would have her first meal in a dining car presently. The train was crowded, most of its passengers bound for the Mardi Gras. Several women ventured friendly remarks to which she responded kindly enough, but she could not accustom herself to the overtures of brief acquaintance. The train wound its way through the folded laps of rocky hills—th* first mountains Lynn ever had seen. She was tremendously impressed with their rugged beauty and the picturesque cabins tucked into their pockets like an odd collection of invaluable treasures. Unpainted, barren, even uncomfortable they might be as homes, but they blended into the landscape as a necessary part of it. , Breakfast was a novelty in the bustling, tinkling dining car with its broad windows which swayed above deep caverns or crashed beside sheer bluffs with a deafening roar. One could feel the strain of the train’s ascent and the gentle vibration of movement which affected every small part of it. How different was the atmosphere of this car from that of the Fireside Cafeteria, thought Lynn. The haste of the waiters contrasted with the leisurely motions of their patrons, whereas the lunch hour at the cafeteria was a contest of hurried patrons demanding swifter service.
