CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR THE NEW FUR coat had been bought tat Anne to wear back to Miss Harper’s, uchooL It was paid for now, but It had never been worn. The manufacturer's tag hung to It stilL Harrison cut It off with his knife, helped her to wrap herself tn It, steadied her down the steps, lifted her into the car to the back seat where there wML room for the cast to lie straight. “You can't aee a thing,* he argued as he drove through the Christmas-gala streets where strands of colored lights hung and • papier-mache Santa beamed from every light pole. -Anyway Td want to talk to your mother about any change. She’ll certainly come home for Christmas." He spoke with more confidence than he felt.

"Deke and I packed her box today," Anne said, "Just in case. I put in some of those ropy pearls from you, but she’ll know it’s not your writing on the card. Suppose she won’t come, Dad—suppose she won't come back, ever?*’ "Don't borrow trouble, Anne," be urged. "Tour mother is not going to abandon you kids, ru eend her some money to buy herself something extravagant. That’s what a gift ought to be - an extravagance." v Driving along with Anne, IDir* riaon said: This place isn’t far out, but the town will never come this way, not across two railroad tracks and the river bridge. That’s why Eliot wouldn’t touch it," he went on, determined that there should bo no more evading, that Anne must learn to live openly with the thing she had been making into a secret paia. "Eliot is a canny chap. I don’t know what

Ridgway the American commander, has signified his willingneeb to meet the Chinese Red leaders at thia point. The peace talks terminated about 60 days ago and so far the Communists haven't given \ a tip-off of their motive in delaying resumption of the confab. If the Reds want to drag the conflict through another Korean winter, then the full strength of our air force should be used to bomb out the aggressors.! And probably that’s what Gen.

"He came back after almost three years in the camp and a long time in a hospital, and he found his wife , had a child—two years old." . "So he told you that?" "Nobody else knows—not even Aunt Laura.” \ •But he went back there. He hasn’t showed up in town for some time."... . \ "Dad, ho told me he was craxy about the little thing. Can you imagine anybody being as generous as that?” | "Kids aren’t to blame for the sins of their elders, Anne. Well, here’s the famous farm. Nobody on it—that’s why Joan is so anxious to get rid of it, no doubt." "Drive in, Dad. Maybe we can see a little by the headlights. There’s water—that little creek we Just crossed. Deke would adore that." •He’d dam it up and have a swimming hole." Harrison got out and opened a sagging. wooden gate. A rutted lane ambled up a slope between two rows of young maples. The house hugged the slope, long and low, with chimneys at either end and a porch an along the front. It had beefi painted white once but was shabby now. "Well, there it Is," he said tonelessly. "When the Hammonds lived here, tong before you were born, it was quite a place.” . fit’s so still out. here! It’s kind of restful, isn’t it?

Harrison got out of the car and walked around the shaggy lawn. A leaning picket fence enclosed a garden spot Under a latticed structure grown over with a grapevine an Iron pump indicated a well. He went through the garden gate, following .the white beam of his headlights, saw leaning cornstalks, and thought whimsically that Mary Gallagher would never have let good fodder go to waste, smelled the moldy death of cabbage stalks, bent and picked up a handful of soil, rubbing it thoughtfully between his hands. Two miles away the linked lights of th'e town wove a beaded pattern of color, overhung with a base of rose. He let the moist earth fall, scrubbed his palms on his handkerchief. Overhead the sky was near, navyblue plush studded with sharp winter stars. It came to Harrison Blayde that it had been a long, time since he had looked at the sky. Was this a man’s holy hi 11... a spot where the sky came down, and there Was quiet and;, deep earth under his feet and the brooding peace of trees ? Was thisT what all men remembered from the t infancy of the land? A deep-buried yearning which, in spite of mechanized living, automatic laborers, streamlined existence, remembered atavistically the day when what people had was what they had won with their own hands? When he went back to the car Anne was leaning forward eagerly to study the house. "Look, Dad," she said. "If somebody tore off that awful porch and put a picture window in the front—" "You could Bee • long way,, sugar,’’ he agreed. "Yes, you could see a long way.” (To BtContiwdJ _

State Traffic Toll Continues To Mount October Death Toll Over Fi>ur Per Day \ By United Press Five more names were added to Indiana’s 1951 traffic death toll today as October fatalities raced along at the rate of more than four a day. > Three Indianapolis men were killed in separate accidents in the Hoosier capital, a Columbus youth was killed when a train hit an auto in his home town, and a Cincinnati man died of injuries suffered in a collision near Edinburg. \Thus\ far in October,! 39 deaths have i>een recorded. If the continues through the month,' the toll will be more than 120 which would set a new record for any month in 1950 or 1951. September already holds that honor, with a provisional total of 118 on state police records. The latest victims: Joseph A. Brmck, 54, Cincinnati; James E. \ Mellon, 77, \R. Forrest Hinton, 251 and Edward 46, all of Indianapolis, and Charles R. Snyder, Jr., 18, Columbus. ! -\ ■. • ■ ; ,i ! Homemaking Tips jby Evelyn Gerke Assistant Frame Should Display picture T© Advantage “What kind of frame sliall I use for thi? picture?” |HomemakerS| often ask question when planning to frame a painting or print for .the living room. \ The final decision on the selection of the frame should be made by the her family. They are the 'ones to,, be satisiied because they will be living with it. However, the framo shbuld be j as attractive as possible and show I off the picture to the best advan'tage without detracting from if. 1 / -V A pleasing effect can’be produced by repeating a color in the frame ior blinding the mat with a color . in the picture. If a colored frame , Ts desired, a color already used in the decorative scheme of the room may be repeated. Natural light wood tones are popular for today's pictures. If the frame is too ■ heavy, too ornate, too different in ' or too shiny in finish, it defeats its purpose. Heavy, ornate gilt frames are being replaced by Sffhpler, dull ones. The frame should be the proper size and weight for the picture and the width in proportion to its length. If the picture is about 24 by 30 inches, the frame Hnay be three or four inches wide\ or two inches wide for a picture about

18 by 22 inches. Flat ones are suit- 1 able for abstract pictures. Since etchings are delicate in line, they require flat, narrow frames; black or gray looks well on them. As a general rule, prints, pastels, water colors, and drawings should be covered with glass. These pictures look well when placed on a mat before framing. HoWtjver, oil paintings are best framed without glass. Stairway Storage Stairway storage has caused many a serious fall. Hazardous is the too common habit of keeping mops, brooms, boxes br other items bn stairways. Very often the housewife puts an article on the stairs as a reminder, to carry it up or down when she goes. This may save a trip but cause a fall. For safety, every step of the 1 stairway needs to be free’ and clear. It’s dangerous for children to play on stairs, not only because they may tumble, but also because they are likely to leave toys there for others to fall over. Basement steps, where Alight is insufficient, often are .the most dangerous in the home. Stairways leading to the basement should have handrails, be kept iq good repair at all times. Safety measures, until good lighting can be,installed, are flashlights kept at the top of Abe stairs and a white stripe painted on top and bottom step to alert s the absentminded.
