To take up this slack tn the economic picture, they point out that electrical appliance sales, household furnishings and clothing will shdw gains in 1956. 0 0 < The wholesale price index, compiled weekly by Dun and Bndstreet, last week showed a decline to $5.90; this is lower than the comparable week of 1955 when the price index stood at $6.77 and the 1954 mark for the same week of $7.09. Among the commodities which showed a lower wholesale price were flour, rye, oats, barley, hams, cheese, sugar, hogs and lambs. & —» Professional, Collegiate and Indiana high school basketball are coming down the home stretch toward tournaments and play-offs for championships.

SYNOPSIS ■ Newly married Lora accompanies her husband. Wade Tyler, to his family home on Staten Island after nursing him back to health from a serious wound he received while fighting as a Union soldier. She meets Wade’s autocratic mother. Amanda Tyler, and Jemmy. son of Wade and his dead first wife. Virginia. Amid the growing tension between Wade's mother and Lora, the bride learns that Virginia died by drowning In a pond near the Tyler home. Lora finds Wade mourning for Virginia and asks him to tell her what she was ilka CHAPTER SEVEN 9 t WADE did not open his eyes, but his fingers tightened about Lora’s and then relaxed. His words came slowly, faltering at first, then more quickly as memories crowded upon him. It was not of Virginia he spoke, however, but of his own childhood in this house. “I can remember how different it was; When I was a little boy and my father was alive, that is. The house was always filled with his friends. There were always loud voices and people laughing, sometimes until late at night. Mother never cared for his friends any more than they cared for her, and she withdrew from them. On Sundays, she made me keep the Sabbath with her in the same way Grandfather Jason used to keep it —with prayers and quiet and all the Shutters closed. But we -d to keep it by ourselves in the sittingroom downstairs because my father would have nothing to do with gloom and solemn voices. He was a very hearty and popular man and 1 wanted with ait my heart to be like him. But he was always so confident, so sure of himself, and that was a quality I lacked.” “And your mother?" Lora prompted. Wade did not open his eyes. “She was determined that I should not be like him at alt, I already looked like him and I suppose that frightened ner into thinking that 1 might grow up a wastrel, too. I suppose that’s what he was, really, for all his charming ways. It's a mystery why she married him. But she was bound and determined that 1 must grow up tn the solid mould of her own father, whom she'd'loved and admired more than any other human being.” “Can you remember your grandfather?" “He died before 1 was bom,” Wade said. “But I feel as if I’d grown up tn the same house with him. Mother must be greatly like him. She wanted me to care about the shipping business and take an -active interest in the bank as 1 grew up." "Didn't your father mind what ahe did with you?” Lora saw the twitch of a nerve near the corner of Wade’s mouth.

A While natural flowers are always preferable, it is quite all right to use artificial ones, if they are in good condition and decorative. Q.

“I was ill a great deal as a child. I wasn’t my father’s sort, much as I’d liked to be. He should have had a boisterous, active child, and since I was neither, he lost interest in me. I lived inside my own head too much to suit him.” “Virginia gave me back my belief in myself," Wade said. He fell silent and Lora reached out with cool fingers to stroke the place between his eyes that sometimes throbbed with pain. “Be like thia always," he murmured. “Be the way she was." For just an instant she wanted to snatch her hand away, but she controlled the impulse. She sat quietly beside him until he fell asleep. —« At supper, Wade entertained them with an tunusing story of the company cook and the ingenious way in which that inventive Irishman could eke out rations when the larder was low. And he told a story of a young drummer boy and how he had saved them all from danger early one morning when the enemy had tried a surprise attack. The latter story appealed to Jemmy and he watched his father wide-eyed and without the look of veiled resentment which he usually turned upon him. There was even a grudging admiration in the boy's eyes and, observing him, Lora knew the truth with a sudden stab. Jemmy’s attitude toward his father was a shellof self-protection and nothing else. At the moment his small person betrayed his secret for anyone to read. But only Lora's attention was upon him: only Lora recognized that here was a small boy who longed to love and admire his father and to be loved 'end admired by him in return. When there was a pause in the talk and they were still smiling over Wade’s antic account, Lora drew a breath and plunged into the matter, nearest her heart. “What are we going to do about Christmas?” ahe asked. “It's only two weeks off and Jemmy and I have some plans." Jemmy’s eyes sparkled. “Papa do yov suppose we could have a Christmas tree ?" “What nonsense," said Mrs. Tyler before Wade could speak. “I see no point in going to such fuss and bother. That is toe worldly a way to .celebrate Christ’s birthday." Wade put out his hand and covered his mother’a “I can remember how much fun we used to have at Christmas parties. When I was Jemmy’s qge I thought a Christmas tree was the most wonderful

thing in the world." "Oh, please let’s have one!" Lora cried. Mrs. Tyler shrugged, but her sense of well-being held and she seemed not to regard this as a major rebellion. "I can see you’re all against me. Very well, if Peter can find a tree, 1 will offer no objection. But understand —there Is to be no mess about the house either before or afterwards.” Til dean up everything,” Jemmy promised. Lora winked at him secretly. “I have some ideas about presents. Let's go in the library after dinner, and shut everyone out, Jemmy,” • They worked in the library until Jeiffmy's bedtime, and then Lora went upstairs with him. She heard Wade and his mother talking ip the rear sitting-room, but ahe had no desire to join them. At Jemmy’s door she paused, holding her candle high. “Call me when you’re ready and I’ll come tuck you in,” she said matter-of-factly. The solemn look came into his eyes, turning them to midnight blue in the dim light. For just an instant ahe thought he was going to move away from her as he had the night she had come to thia house. But she was his friend now and ail day iong he had been accepting her In small ways. If it was the memory of his mother kissing him good-night, tucking him beneath the covers, that made his eyes darken, he did not at least hold this against Lora now. "All right,” he said briefly, and vanished into his room. She went into her own room across the hall and released her ■ breath in a long sigh. What a strange day this had been, with its momenta of rebellion and of happiness, too. She had a feeling that Jemmy already considered her an ally and was beginning to like her. tjfis voice reached her thinly through the door she had left ajar and she hurried across the hall to find him snug in his narrow bed. Toes warm?” she asked. Just his nose stuck out over the edge of the quilt. “Warm az toast Lorie, do you think we can really get a tree?” "We’re certainly going to try," she assured him. "And I’ll have a surprise for you Christmas morning, too. A special surprise from me.” She wished she dared to <ean over and kiss him. But she knew better than to rush things. So she said good-night and took her candle away, leaving him to dreams she hoped would be happy ones. (To Bo ConiiaucdJ
