Another possible theme for the message was the new deal efforts ito revive private enterprise and expansion in the utility field, • whose leaders have conferred re-1 . cently with the president without, apparently, gaining any drastic i concessions in regard to govern-' ment competition. It was underi stood, however, that the regional planning bill —for seven new TVA’s —would be modified.

SYNOPSIS Julie Allerdyce, 19-year-old daughter of Professor Allerdyce of the Ramsey Preparatory School for Boys, intends to get herself engaged to Dr. Richard Jessup, the most eligible bachelor in her little town of Fayette. New York. Tommy Jessup, the doctor’s younger brother, adores Julie, but he ie still in college and Julie scorns him as a child. Everyone in town had always thought Dick would marry Millicent Dodd, a woman nearer his own age. At a country club dance, Julie meets Pete Waddell, barnstorming aviator. He telle her there is a great future in flying for a beautiful girl. CHAPTER IV Dr. Jessup stood in the doorway, his eyes scanning the dancers. Julie, seeing him, thought: he's older than the boys here but he’s distinguished. She also thought that the shoulders of his shabby dinner jacket were too narrow, his hair astonishingly gray for a man of thirty-eight. The instant the music stopped she left Waddell and made her way across the floor to the door. Her hand flickered on Dick's sleeve while he was still looking for her. His eyes lighted at her touch. “I’m sorry 1 couldn’t call for you, Julie Having a good time?” "I am now,” she said letting her voice linger on the last word. “Let’s go out on the verandah. There’s an April moon, Dick, and I want you to tell me about Miss Millie.” Mist Millie was a touch. That was Priscilla's name for her, but Julie had always called her Millicent. “She's going to be all right That girl has too many colds and I wanted to catch this one at the start* “Os course you did. Everyone talks devotion to her, Dick. One would think Millicent was eighty-four. Julie clung to his arm and led him to a darkened corner of the verandah It was early April and there was a chill in the air. Her hand in his felt cold. “Julie, we .-an't stay here, child. You'll catch pneumonia in that thin dress.” Julie seized on the word child. "Dick,” she said ever so softly, “Do you always think of me as a child?” He laughed softly. Amused. Fatherly. “Is that fair to me?" She let him see her face for a moment, then lowered it. Her lovely head was bowed as thought she didn’t dare to lift it after what she had said. He raised her chin and her limpid eyes looked full into his. In that moment he did not think her—as he always had—a child. He only saw that her asking mouth was close to his. He kissed her and she trembled in his arms. He swallowed hard and patted her shoulder while the blood sang in his ears “Oh Dick," she murmured against the broadcloth of his coat, “Darling, I feel so bold. But it took you such a long time I I knew that you loved me. You do, don’t you?” Dick answered something. He wasn’t sure afterward what it was. His hand stroked her shoulder while he tried to reassemble his scattering wits. “Please kiss me again, darling." If he hadn’t kissed her then . . . But he did, and Julie, gazing sweetly into his face, said, "I'll go and get my things and we’U go straight home. I want to tell Dad tonight. Wait for me here.” She turned from him swiftly be-

look, if you ever feel a mood for flying coming on, you can reach me at the Clunesvilla airport No charge for a big thrill." "Thanks. If I should ever need a thrill. I’ll And some other way of getting it. Good night.” She brushed by him while she made a mental note: Waddell — Clunesville airport. • • • The table was arranged for ten. At each place there was a small white crepe paper basket filled with heart-shaped candies. Ten streamers of white baby ribbon ran from the baskets to the center of the table where white flowers overflowed their silver bowl hiding the cards attached at the other end. The cards tied together bore the names of Julie Allerdyce and Richard Jessup. Millicent Dodd moved bonbon dishes to make places for her silver candlesticks as thunder rumbled distantly in the dark noonday sky. The wind rattled the white Venetian blinds and sent a chill draft through the room. Millicent thought, I must have Peter build a fire in this hearth, it will warm the room. Her hands fumbled in the flowers as the thought came to her that she would never feel quick and warm again. A cheerful voice sounded at her back and she started as though she had spoken her thought aloud.

Elkhart City Firemen Find Work At Station Elkhart, Ind, Dec 28 (UR) Firomen tn Elkhart a central sta-1 tion had a real-life fire drill yesterday afternoon. The station whs Ignited by a kettle of tar being heated by WPA workers and the firemen saved it I from destruction. Three windows , were burst by the heat and one side of the building scorched.

i “It looks beautiful, Millicent 1” Harriet Amberson pronounced from the dining-room doorway. Then, "I made some brownies for your party." “Thank you," Millicent answered in her soft voice. “The girls will love them. I'll serve them with the ice-cream instead of macaroons. Perhaps I’ll serve them both, youngsters love sweets.” Mrs. Amberson looked at her sharply. "Youngsteis! Nonsense, Millieent! Anybody'd think to hear you talk, you were a grandmother." “They’re youngsters to me. Twenty

seems young when you’re thirtyfour.” Mrs. Amberson opened her mouth as if to speak. Then she thought better of it Finally: “Julie Allerdyce is a lucky girl.” "Isn't she?” Millicent said brightly. “I wasn’t thinking of her (fretting Dick Jessup," Harriet Amberson said more heatedly than she intended. “I mean she’s lucky to have a friend like you to give her an engagement party. You’re very broadminded, Millicent, it isn’t every girl would do it." Millicent knew what her neighbors words implied. She answered hurriedly, fearful that Harriet would say more. “I’m glad to do it. I’ve been giving parties for Julie ever since she was ten. Her mother was never well while she was alive and after she died. . .Her voice trailed away weakly. Mrs. Amberson picked up her umbrella. “Well, 1 must get along. The table looks beautiful, dear, but you’ve forgotten the place cards,’’ she said as she went toward the door. "No, I have them,” Millicent said. The clock in the hall striking twelve times drowned out the rest of her reply.
