Asks Suspension Os Fairs For Duration Eastman Plea Made To Conserve Rubber Witohlngton. June 24. — < I PI Farmers and showmen were asked today to cooperate in the war effort by suspending for the duration two of the landmark* of rural life the state and county fiiirs. Defensi transportation director Joseph B Kastman made the pica aa another effort to save rubber. In a statement to 8,200 state and county fair men throughout the country he declared shat travel to and from fairs is nonessential and should be postponed, with few exceptions for the remainder of tinwar. "If convinced that postponement of fairs will contribute to the good of the country in time of war," be said, "the farmers will not give it a second thought. All they want, I am sure. Is to be so convinced." He admitted that sus|w*nsion of the gatherings would be a "deprivation." and uot an “int Jerable" one. He said farmers' truckr mint! last until new sources of rubber have been developed—“and we count on

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT “How would you make money by backing your opinion?” Kitty asked Charles. ‘‘Selling short, as they call IL That means—" **l know—l learnt all about ft at Kirby when we used to gamble in Rainier shares. Remember ?’’ “You must have lost everything." “Nearly everything. About thir-ty-two pounds ell together." She laughed. "Well, why don’t you sell short?" "I will, If It amuses you. But I'd have no other reason.” “Yes, do it—to amuse me. Please, Charles." "Then there’s two things I have to do at the office tomorrow morning." He took out his notebook and made a pretense of writing something down. "Sell short to amuse Kitty. Also get Miss Hanslett to send out the wedding invitations." “Who’s Miss Hanslett?” “My new secretary. You saw her last time you called." “Oh, that quiet girl?" "I suppose she's quiet. I certainly wouldn’t want her to be noisy.” “Darling, how soon can we leave —afterwards?” “You mean for our world tour? , Maybe next month. It'll be too late for the Danube, though, this year. We'd better do the Amazon first Or the Nile." I •No, not the Nile—Jill's there." “What’s she doing?" I “Looking at the tombs, t suppose, i and having a good time." But the laugh they rallied them- i selves into failed to shift the mood that made him, as soon as dinner was over, confess that he felt tired i and would prefer an early night in i bed. He dropped her at Jill's new I house in St John’s Wood, where she was living with a cook-house- i keeper, and kept the taxi for his i own journey to Smith Square. But i his apartment seemed so inexplicably cheerless that after a drink and an attempt to feel sleepy, be I called another cab and drove round i the West End till he found a film that looked tolerable enough for > whiling away the rest of the eve- i ning. He stayed in the einema less 1 than an hour, his restlessness In- | creasing all the time, so that at last < ho walked out and paced up and ( down the thronged pavements till i past midnight, longing suddenly for the sun and snow of the Jungfrau- i jock, yet knowing that it was only , a mirage of what he would still long for if by seme miracle he were to be , transplanted there. Usually when he <*ould not sleep | he was quite satisfied to stay up reading, often until dawn; but that night he felt ho would bo far too i restless to concentrate on any book, | so he bought tablets and took several on his return to Smith Sonars. They gave him a heavy unref reshir g sleep, from which ho woke about noon to find a penciled letter from Kitty at his bedside. It had been delivered by hand early that morning. and contained, in effect, the breaking of their engagement and an announcement that she was leaving Immediately to join her stepmother in Luxor. The first gray smudge was peering over the bills and it seemed that we both saw it together. “Well, we’ve talked all night—and for the second time. Aren’t yon sleepy yet?" •No. . . . Ton were telling me about that letter, the oae Kitty left for you. Didn't it give any roa“Plsaty. But I really think we’d better go to bed if we’re to be te any decent condition tomorrow The crowd will soon be on ns, worse luck." “Then why de you have them hero?" “That’s part of another story. Well. I must have a nightcap, even if it ie Burning. Have one with see?" We went down to the library, feeling our way in the dim dawn shadows without switching on any of the bouse lights. Meanwhile he *tew you that latter ts t had tt hare, but tfb locked «p ia ay aaf a ia the City. I adaut

I no less than three year* for that." Eastman had warned earlier that such action might be nmessary. and fair operatom had protested It would put them out of business others pointed out that the closing of fairs would affect many race tracks as well as the ordinary fair concessions. — -o PRESSURE FOR (Continued From Page 1) extraordinary mystery In which the authorities have packaged the Aleutian islands situation.

I’m sentimental about ft—a tittle puzzled also. It's the last word I ever bad from her, except picture postcards from all kinds of places. What happened to her afterwards is what she said would happen—except that it didn't last for long. She married a man she met in Egypt—she was quite happy—and he was a man I liked when I met him, but 1 didn’t meet him till after she was dead. He had plantations in the Far East; she went out with him there and died of malaria within six months." He bent over the decanter, his shape and movements ghostly against the gray pallor from the windows. The moon had gone down, and it was darker than at midnight. •And then?" I said. He handed me a drink and raised his own. “The rest," he declaimed halfmockingly, “is a simple saga of success. I flung myself into business with renewed but disciplined abandon: 1 sold short and made more money out of the slump than I’d ever done out of ordinary trading; I accepted directorships in other companies and became what they call *a figure in the City'—l even assumed the burden of two other family heritages, by taking over Stourton and by allowing myself to stand for my father’s old Parliamentary seat of West Lythamshire. And a few years later, my affiant having more than eurvivod the storms of 11)31 and the doldrums of IBM, I married a lady who had become quite indispensable to me in this struggle for fresh fame and fortune—Miss Hanslett, the quiet girt That again turned out to be an astonishing success. You never know what these quiet girls ean do. From being quirt, she became one of the busiest and cleverest of London's hostesses—and the miracle is, she’s still quiet—you'd hardly know the machine’s running at all." “So different from Miss Hobbs—but that, 1 suppose, la because you chose her yourself.” "Or else she ehoso Aerself. She was just a girl in tbs general office first of all, until one evening I was working late and she Invaded my private office to ask outright if she could work for me personally. Said she krxw Um other girl waa ieavmg and she was certain she'd be better than anyone else. After that 1 simply had to give her either the sack or the job." •Anyhow, you made the right choice there." Ho laughed. "Oh yes, and I soon knew IL She was everything she promised. I’ve nothing but praise for her. I’d never have made so much money or acquired such style in after-dinner oratory but for her. She’s intensely loyal, tremendously ambitious for me, and personally charming. 1 love ber more than moot men love their wives. She’s guided my career—in fact she’s almost made a personally conducted tour of it. I never do anything, in polities or business, without seeking her advice. She runs Stourton and Kenmore like a pair of clocks—she doesn't care if I’m In or out to lunch or dinner, or if I go to India er South America for six months er merely to Brighton for a week end. She’s everything a man like me could wish for in a wife—always provided—” He paused and took a drink, then added: •Always provided he’s completely satisfied to bo a man tike me." “And aren’t you?"
