There la altogether too' much disposition on the part ot some to turn responsibility ot ail kinds over to the Federal government. Those who commit larceny 1 should lie handled by the state I authorities under our system ot government. Stealing cattle er 1 horses Is larceny the same as, taking a person's money.

CHAPTER I Marie therese alexANDER It was a niee name, a romantie name. Marie thought, and she always signed it with a flourish. The address was nice. too. 667 Dover Drive, Hollywood. It looked exciting, written out. It wasn't exciting, really. Dover drive was a dusty, hot little street, far from the wide boulevards, the fine homes, the good shops. Like most of its neighbors, 667 had a sign in the window. The sign read “Julie's Beauty Shoppe" and underneath it was another sign. “Circulating Library." Most of Hollywood had never heard of Dover Drive, or Julie’s Beauty Shoppt But If you didn't know your HoT>-wo,.d, it sounded well. When Marie walked up the avenue from the car line, end paseed Mr*. Johnson’s “Boston Baked Beans" sign and the O'Leary Sisters’ “Tap, Toe and Acrobatic Dancing Studio" and the Woodwards’ “Carpenter Shop and Tire Repairing" and “Jew. Classical, Piano, Voice and Banjo” that the new people from Lincoln had put up on the corner, she thought of that. It was a pleasant enough street, to spite of the signs and the general air of wistful shabbiness. The houses were all large and comfortable, and though most of the lawns were weedy and yellow, oleanders were spreading »*nta of pink and rose bloom in the summer and hibiscus grew like weeds. The Johnsens’ poineetttas grow twenty feet high and in Marie's own yard the lemon and orange trees flaunted waxy, fragrant buds and blossoms, and the green or yellow, or orange fruit. But in spite of the signs and the promised activity, it was a quiet little street, for irr-st of the signs represented hope rather than clients or customers, and except for the Johnson twins, and the O'Leary's radio and the Durney’s parrot and the mocking birds, it was a sleepy little street. Sitting tn the window in the front room, taking care of the “Circulating Library," would have be-n hopelessly dull business tor most young, attractive girls. But Marie was seldom bored, and never unhappy. She had her own reeourroe, most of them see rot. Right now her big interest in life was the Letter Club. The Letter Club, and a certain Edward Wilson. Hence the emphasis on the sound of things. Her name, the address, Hollywood. Things to write about—to Edward. They'd been corresponding for a year now. "It’a just a letter friendship,” Mario said. "Daun’t mean a thing!" But she went to see "The Barretts of Wimpels Street” four times, and recommended it to all the library patrons. “You know it's the love story of Elisabeth Barrett and Robert Browning—the great love that grew out of the letters they wrote each other before they ever met!" she explained to the leas literary ones. "Great love —great NONSENSE!” her mother said. I I ■ But Marie’s mother, whose lieenae to run a beauty shop was made out in the name of Julie Bronson (Charles Brr-nson was her third husband) had hed her romance, or romAaeee. early, and now she was, as she Mid, past all that. Marie, at 21, had had no romance That is, none worth mentioning. To Julie, big, aggressive, still hand soma, that was equivalent to saying Marie didn't want any. To Julie, romance, like opportunity, was something to be snatched from a jealous, hostile world. But Mane, who was eo unlike the enargetic. bustling Julie aa te appear not evesr a distant relation, had never loaraeu to snatch anything.

The only - pportumty she bad ever seised was the Letter Club, and that was with Yaw and trembling It was a dull Saturday sight, almost a year ago, when her mother and stepfather, whom she called Charlie, had gone to see a movie, and she had volunteered to stay home and tend to the library. Tired of sitting at her little desk at the window she had wandered into the "back parlor” which was "The Beauty Shoppe.” On a little table by the drier was a stack of thumbed movie and confession magaxmea. The lam. customer had left one open, at a correepondenev club page. There it was. Edwards letter:
