Ken leaves in anger, saying he is through. Margaret la broken-hearted. Her family feels, however, that Ken was not much of a catch and that she can do better. CHAPTER XU They were very kind to her, now that her heart was broken. They didn’t expect anything of her. and Aunt Bet said, "Thank you, my dear.” In a surprised tone, if she remembered to order the groceries. There had been several night, just at first, that she’d forgotten, but she didn’t know that. She didn't know half that was going on and so didn't appreciate half of the kind things they were doing for her. Such as Aunt Bet's setting the table, and Natalie’s taking over the dish washing. She got up, and went to work, and cams home, and had dinner, and went through the moUais at being nice to the usual boy friends that were as usual all over the place, and waited for the cluck to strike 10 so that she could say 'Tm sort of tired tonight Mind if Igo up to bed Every night when her eyes closed it was with the thought—he'U call tomorrow. He won't be able to stay away another day. Every morning she woke, thinking this is the day AH day she waited for the telephone. All evening she waited. On the ferries, on the street at noon, she walked about looking for him He might just happen to take the same boat she did. he might be on his way to see her at the shop while she was out to lunch Hurry, hurry back .. . "Any message for me. Miss Grace Y" There was never any message. Never any Kenneth. He was. indeed, through. “Where’s Ken?” people asked, when they didn't see him at the house "Isn’t tt perfectly wonderful about Kenneth!" they said, when the news of his sailing got around. And then they looked at her, waiting sorter to say something.

Also .there may be statute* other than the welfare act which In your judgement »honid be amended." Gottschalk asked that th* suggestion* be made not later than Nov. 15.

It was Sue who really got ths new* that they had quarreled was no keeping Sue away, she burst nght in, and pried and prodded and asked question* until Margaret said tn desperation: "Sue, I tell you 1 don’t know anything more about tt than you do I haven't seen him for a week. I’m not going to see him!” Sue's pointed red tongue came out. She licked her lipa. "You aren't going to Dorothy’s party Friday night?” “No. I have another date.” ■Where ?" “Saa Francisco — with a new man. Lane Penney. He’s an attorney.” "Cute?” “Sort of." “Oh. Fd like to meet him. But why don't you bring him to Dorothy's? She won't mind an extra man!” "We're going to a show." “But Kenny will think It's awful funny ” Silence from Margaret "Margaret Wickham, I limply can’t believe it It can’t be true. You and Ken . . MAGGIE!" “Yea, it's true. It's all off!” But even as she aaid tt she wondered. It couldn't be Not after all those years. It wasn't as if It were a mere infatuation — something new—on today, off tomorrow. No. they’d been together too long He’d told her be loved her. They’d searated Berkeley for a house to live in—on $lB a week! They’d quarreled only because she couldn't marry him. and sail with him on Saturday! What a fool she'd been What a complete idiot to let ter silly pride keep them apart. Twice she dialed the wrong number. Then his mother answered, her voice thin and far away, -Helio?" “May I speak to Kenneth, please?" Margaret’s voice was trembly, but she was smiling a little. It would be soon now. He’d come, and she'd tell him. “Kenneth isn’t home." “Oh” ... hurry, hurry, before she hangs up the receiver! “Do you expect him home soon ?" “I don't know. Any message?" “Yes. please ask him to call Margaret — Margaret W’akham.” “I can't hear you. What was the name ?” Margaret shouted. “Margaret Wickham—WlCKHAM—” She was scarlet and trembling, as she hung np. She felt so silly Like a lovesick fool pursuing a popular man. That tone In his mother’s voice. How many messages she'd taken, from girls. And the name Margaret didn't mean any more to her than any other name Well, there was one thing about Ken. he didn’t talk Quietly, pati“-'.tiy -h" waited.

He won't call. *he thought, he won't call—and she sat pretending to read, waiting, listening, hoping, despairing, hoping tn spite of everything until 2 o’clock. Then she went to ted, and lay with 'be door open, listening. , Right up until the Luriin. sailed, on Saturday noon, she hoped. She sent a book, and a note —"Kenny dear, if you open this before sailing. please call me. I'm at the shop. They’ll be glad to call me to the telephone. Ido so want tc aay goodbye. •MAGGIE. And when the noon whistles blew and people began going out and still there was no word, she could bear it no longer. She called the navigation company. "Is the Luriine sailing delayeo .

But she waited, for a radiogram, for a telephone call from over the water, and then she waited, one boat, two boats, two months for a tetter.

Speaking to the elementary students of the city's third to seventh grades, inclusive, Mr. Jaberg told them of the less desirable results of war and upheld the leaders of the nation in their appeal for peace. The entire student body st .rd in silent prayer during the two minutes whistles blew and belis. i-ang in commemoration of the ending of the World War. P. Bryce Thomas, principal of the school, was in charge of the program. The next chapel program of the school will be held on November ‘ 23 at 2:44 p. m . when Rev James 'A.
