Crowds continue to visit the \ Decatur retail area. You are urged to shop now for Christmas and be assurred of a good selection bf merchandise. If you want to select items now and get them later, almost every Decatur merchant has a layaway plan. You can't find a better place in the United States to shop. 0 0Ali through these winter months, every day should be a safe driving day for all of us. The roads will be slippery and dangerous and everyone should exert the utmost care for himself and others. If we follow a few simple driving rules, we can all be helpful in cutting down the highway mishaps. —o The nation has tried two Safe Driving days without much success and a noticeable lack of cooperation from motorists, whose lives the effort is attempting to save. Maybe it would be well to have a national "arrest every traffic violator” week. Cantion seems to do no good. Possibly an arrest and even a jail sentence and suspension of license, might serve to awaken the motorist to the fact that danger lurks on the highway. It seems pretty drastic, but sometimes drastic steps are needed when other efforts fall; 0 0 Three former presidents of the Decatur Rotary club and all three of whom were instrumental in — bringing a charter of that club to this atty met this week at the regular meeting of the local organization. Avon Burk, perhaps the most vigorous in his effort to organize a Decatur Rotary club

. * - is still active and W. A. Klepper of this city and J. O. Sellemeyer of Los Angeles were the three former presidents introduced at this week’s meeting. All three are great Decatur boosters and the present club got a real thrill seeing the "old timers” reminiscing. —_o o r - J. O. Sellemeyer and Mrs. Sellemeyer are visiting in Decatur this week. The Sellemeyers left this city 33 years ago and have since resided, in Los Angeles, Calif. However, they always have claimed Decatur as their “home town” and there has been scarcely a year elapsed that they have not returned here for a visit. Mr. Sellemeyer, after college at Oberlin in Ohio returned here and joined his father in the lumber business for a while. Later be became associated with the late Col. Fred Reppert in the operation of the Great Northern Indiana Fair and he also assisted in the organization of the first class of the Reppert Auction School, now internationally known. Mr. Sellemeyer also was a charter member 1 of the Decatur Rotary Club and quite appropriately he was presented a key to the city by Rotary President ahd Chamber of Commerce President Mike Pryor this week. ..Visits like their present , one are an inspiration both to the visitors and to the citizens of Decatur. It is with a feeling of pride that all of us feel with happiness the fact they still claim Decatur as their home town. The Sellemeyers are only one of a score of families who have left Decatur and return to give us that reassurance that Decatur is the greatest little city in the world.

Should a hostess ever apologize for a worn rug, a sunken chair cushion, a dish on the table that has not turned out so well as expected ? A. No. A hostess should not apologize for anything in her home or on the table. It merely emphasizes the article, and a worthwhile guest pays no attention to these little things. Q. When a relative wishes to send a bride-elect a check as a wedding present, should the check be made out to the girl in her maiden name, or her future name? A. It is better to make the cheek out to the girl in her maiden name, so that she will be able to cash it before the wedding. A. Should a maid be addressed as “Jane” or as "Miss Smith”? A. She should be addressed as "Jane.”

CHAPTER SIXTEEN ETHEL returned and for a moment she stood beside the worktable. One hand touched it with a lingering caress. "Perhaps,” Lois suggested, "you will be willing to help me. Probably no one is as familiar with Mr. Brindle’s method of work as you are. We’d be so grateful—” “We!” Ethel’s lips twisted in a wry grimace. "Any work that is done you’ll do. Mrs. Brindle won’t lift a finger if there’s anyone to do it for her.” "Well,” Lois said cheerfully, "that’s what I’m here for.” “Don’t you mind,” Ethel asked, “when someone else gets the credit?” Lois laughed. “That's the number one question asked of ghosts. The answer is no, I don’t mind.” She added in her warm, eager voice, "But do please think about it and let me know something about Mr. Brindle’s way of attacking his column.' It would be a help because people are interested in tilings like that. And I know, of course, from the way he wrote, how highly he thought of you.” A dull red stain mottled the pitted face. “He was—he was like sunshine. You know that line: ‘You came and the sun came after.’ I don’t know who wrote it but he always made me think of it. When he came into a room it—brightened.” She struggled for expression, tried to speak, gave it up. After a moment she walked to the Dutch door so that her face was hidden from Lois. She said abruptly, "He, made me feel attractive.”’ “What a wonderful thing—to go through life without making enemies,” Lois said and heard Ethel draw in her breath sharply. Something moved at the window and Joe Battery, lifting a pane of glass, smirked. "The guy who could do no wrong,” he said. . Ethel wheeled and went out of the cottage. As he used the putty knife Joe began to whistle. Lois returned to the photograph album, grateful that the picture were arranged chronologically. There was Roger at fifteen, already very big, towering over other boys. Roger and a small, scrawny looking lad who stared up at him with worship in his eyes. Underneath was ( written, “Roger and Albert.’’ This must be Albert

Kibbee. Roger at eighteen with a small, pale, bespectacled Albert. Roger graduating from high school, Roger on a bicycle, Roger with Albert again. Roger and a tall girl sitting on a fallen tree, laughing. Underneath was written, “My beloved Jane, the day she promised to marry me.” Lois lingered over that picture for a long time. Something of the relationship between those two surprised her.i They were not touching each other but in their expression there was a completeness for which she had not been prepared. They belonged together, she thought. In some essential way they supplemented each other. What puzzled Lois was a sense of recognition, of familiarity, which faded little by little. She began to turn the pages more rapidly. There were pictures of townspeople, later of men and women famous in their various fields, and always, of course, Roger and Albert, fewer of Jane, then none of Jane. And at last a picture of Roger in formal morning dress, smiliijg down with a kind of protective tenderness at Carol, who was extremely lovely in trailing white satin and a filmy wedding veiL Under it, “My sweet little wife on our wedding day.” tThe pictures ended there. Lois closed the album and pushed it away, looking unsceingly at the wall above the table, thinking of the contrast between the magnetic look exchanged by "Roger and Jane and his protective, amused tenderness for. CaroL Not the usual story of a successful man discarding an aging wife for a pretty, younger one. There was no rapture in this second marriage of his. Strange* , There was a tap on the door. “Come,” she called without looking around. Joe Battery set something down on the floor with a bang. “Brought you an electric heater." Bis eyes slid over Lois, traveled around the room, rested on the couch, lingered on the hole in the frame. "Thank you.” Lois turned her back but Joe did not leave. He wandered across the room, absently lifted a cushion and let it drop again. Lois wished that he would go. She hated having him hover behind her like an evil bird. he said, "there’s a lot

of money in writing. - She made no comment “The first Mrs. Brindle’s done well, hasn’t she? Made a pot out of those articles.” “She’s a fine writer,” Lois replied, hoping that he would go. "That's what I figured.’ She heard shoe leather creak as he shifted position. “Successful. Costs quite a Mt to stay at the inn.” • • • Hours later, when she found herself straining to decipher the printed pages, Lois switched on the big desk lamp. She straightened up, the back of her neck aching but still so absorbed that she was only dimly aware of her discomfort. What a gift the man had had! After a somewhat fumbling beginning, in which he groped his way toward his own style and subject matter, he had handled his material with a vividness that impressed her by its cumulative effect. He had th£ rarest of abilities, that of communicating his own excitement, his own warm interest in daily life and the people around him. True, he had made them a little more than lifesize, endowed them with qualities they had not possessed. Albert the dreamer had had more than a touch of St. Francis; Bessie might have stepped out of Dickens; Ethel, faithful and devoted and helpful, bore no relation to the passionate, pockmarked woman who had hovered at the worktable; Joe, the unfortunate, waa no reasonable facsimile of the insinuating bird of prey who bad wanted to tell her something and had not dared. Carol, the child wife —oh, no, no! And yet—she reached once more for the book of pictures and looked at the one which ended the book: Roger smiling down at his bride with protective tenderness. And yet he had believed what he had written. That was why his writing had carried sueb conviction. Until those past few months and, increasingly, the past few weeks. Then the writing was no longer oasy.no longer exuberant He had tried too hard, striving to recapture a magic that was gone. Somewhere he had lost what most of us lose in youth, the sense of wonder. He seemed constantly, with unutterable effort to be attempting to reanimate himself. And he sounded tired. (To Be Continued)
