Major league baseball sports forecasters give the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Yankees the green light to lead their respective leagues, come the end of the 1958 season next Autumn. Decatur &nd this h&vo A number of "never-say-die” Chicago White Box fans who scoff at the predictions and point out that the White Sox are strong enough this year to win. However, there also are many fans who disagree. 0 ' The Church attendance record announced recently for Easter Sunday by nine Decatur Churches comprising Associated Churches of Decatur revealed that attendance on that day was exceptionally high. While the organised drive for Church attendance was completed Easter Sunday, each Church is planning to conduct its own special plan of continuing the high attendance record in Decatur. 0 0 Northern Indiana golfers got a bit of good news this week when George Mac Lean announced that the Decatur golf course would be opened to the public today for the entire golfing season. Season tickets also will go on sale today. There had been some talk that the course, one of the finest public links in northern Indiana, might be sold for a residential real estate development. These rumors were dispelled by the announcement of the opening. The local course is reported to be in excellent spring condition and will be open daily during the summer months. Several men's

and women’s leagues will be organised immediately. The course is a fine asset to Decatur and wo commend Mr. Mac Lean tor his decision. o 0 In a few weeks now, Adams county schools will adjourn for the summer after a most successful school year. Commencements and all the parties which accompany the last few days of high school life are being planned. Last to adjourn for summer vacations will be the Decatur high schools. Their commencement exercises usually come the last week in May. 0 o►— A study by the water committee of the City Council and the superintendent of the water department will no doubt result in a recommendation for a higher water rate in Decatur. Final judgment must be rendered by the Indiana Public Service Commiesion. The state body, however, has been inclined in past years to grant increases if and when they are warranted. People always dislike price increases in any commodities and especially in Inexpendable items. Superintendent Ralph E. Roop, who disclosed to the Council that additional money was needed it Decatur's water supply were brought up to normal, has been reticent to ask for a rate rise. He showed by current figures that his department could not operate on the present rate. Indications are that the increase will be coming along soon, but not a cent more will be requested than is necessary.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR MORGAN was nowhere In sight M Wade and Lora went through the back door Into the bouse. Clothilde met them in the hallway, plainly distraught. She was a thin, nervous woman, dressed In black with a white apron tied about her waist. “Please!** she cried to Lora and Wade. "Madame Channing does the so terrible thing. Please, you will go to stop her.’* She waved them toward the drawing room. Lora and Wade went quickly to the door. Morgan had climbed upon the desk Lora,had pulled before the picture and she stood upon it with her legs braced and the kitchen knife upheld in her right hand. She was Hacking roughly at a space near the center of the picture, and the white gash above the knife showed what damage had already been done. "Morgan! Stop!” Wade cried. He went across the room as quickly as he could manage with his cane. When Morgan turned he reached up and twisted the knife from her hand. “Give it back to me!” she cried, stamping her foot on the inlaid desk top. "You wanted the picture ot Virginia, didn’t you? Well, 1 was going to give it to you. I don’t want it—so the thing might as weß be cut in two. Then I can be free of the way she watches me.” Wade stepped out of her reach with the knife. “I can’t stop you if you choose to do something hysterical. But it isn’t necessary to ruin the picture. I’d thought to save the whole thing, not deface; it that way.” She stared at him for a long moment and then crumpled suddenly on the desk, her black skirts trillowing about her. She put her head in her hands and began to sob uncontrollably. Clothilde, who bad hovered in the background, ran toward her and began to wave a bottle of smelling salts near her nose. Morgan flung up her head and slapped the green bottle from Clothilde's hand. It struck a chair and shattered, staining the carpet For a moment the pungent odor was choking. " ’ "Get that away from me!” Morgan cried. “And .go! Go away, all ot you! As if I hadn’t enough to bear today.” She stared angrily at Wade. "What do you know of how It is—having her up there on the wall staring at me, blaming me? I’ve tried to bide her face behind those draperies, but she looks at me right through the cloth. Day and night. What am I to do? What am I to do?" She rocked back and forth in torment, her head in her hands again- * Lora turned to Wade. *Tve seen this sort of thing before. Clothilde and*l will manage. Please go home. We mustn’t keep your mother waiting any longer. I’H follow as I soon as 1 can.”

Morgan’s state was quite evit dently something Wade was glad i to escape. “Don~t stay too long,” ■ he said, and went out of the room. > Lora took Morgan’s arm firmly. • “We re going to get you to bed c now. A good sleep will make you r feel better. Come along with us.” . The quiet, authoritative tones of * adult to child seemed to have some : effect Morgan sobbed convulsively. but she slipped obediently from , the desk. Lora silenced dothilde’s ’ clucking with a glance and put ' her arm about Morgan's waist, led , her quietly from the room. Adam ’ stood in the hallway, leaning r against the newelpost as If he needed to cling to something to stay erect But Lora had no fc- ' terest in a second patient When he would have spoken she shook her head at him sternly and it was ' likely that Morgan, her handker- ’ chief to her eyes, did not even notice him as Lora led her up the ; stairs. ! When Morgan had been un- , dressed and given hot milk to > drink, she lay back upon the pillows and closed her eyes. The hys- , teria had gone out of her and she I was drowsy and spent Lora sent ! Clothilde away to help settle the l servants' temporary quarters to : the big house and to summon Mori gan’s father here. Then only the . two of them were together to the darkened room. Discovering that it was afteri noon and she was growing hungry, Lora had accepted the glass of milk and thick slices ot homemade bread and jam Clothilda took ; time to tiring her. Sw ato now and watched Morgan drowsing to ths big bed. But Morgan was not asleep. Once her heavy lids fluttered open and she stared at Lora. “Why are you being kind to me?” she demanded. “You need me,” Lora said Simply. She smiled, attempting to keep her tone light "Adam says I can never keep away from anyone who needs me.” A fatot light of interest sparkled into the dark gaze. "I saw you kissing him this morning—down there at the far comer of the yard.” Lora said nothing. There were no words which would, place the blame on Adam and exonerate her. She could only wish that of all people Morgan had not seen what happened. “I don’t Uame you for turning elsewhere. Not with Wade for a husband. Why do I still want him, Lora? Why should I tight anyone to get him I know ba’s not worth it?” “Be quiet,” Lora said. "Don’t say things you’ll be sorry for. Things that aren’t true. You don’t want Wade and Tm not turning to Adam. Go to sleep.” ' 1 Morgan's eyes dosed and she lay very atm. When Ambrore came

Modern Etiquette BY ROBERTA LEE 0 Q What are the duties of ths matron-of-honor while the ceremony is taking placet A She stands nearest the bride, takes her bouquet or prayer book while the ring is put on, returning them at the proper tjme. and she arrange* the bride’s train when she turns from the altar. Q. When giving a formal dinner, should dishes be left on the serving table, in case they are wanted for a second helping? A. Dishes are never passed twice at a formal dinner. After being passed once, they should be taken back to the kitchen. Q. What would be an appropriate gift tor me to give to a friend of mine who is opening his own office as a doctor? A. Something for his waiting i room would be very nice—a lamp, |an ashtray, a subscription to a magazine, etc.

quietly into the room she did not stir or open her eyes. Lora put her finger to her Ups. “I’U stay a while,” he whispered. "But 1 think she'll be right enough now.* Lora thanked him with a smils and made her escape. Downstairs she paused at ths drawing room door and looked to. The desk bad been returned to its accustomed place and the green velvet curtain hid Virginia, hid the slashed place between the two figures where Morgan’s knife bad cut through the canvas. Lora sigbed and hurried to the front door, inexpressibly glad to be free of the emotional tumult ot this house. On the front steps Wade sat, his cane beside him, one leg outstretched. He looked up as she came down the steps. ‘Tve been waiting for you," ha said. Wade got to his feet unsteadily and smiled down at her. "You didn't climb that long hill again just for me?” Lora protested. "Why not? You've been helping up here, and 1 came too late to be of any use. The least 1 could do was return after I’d set mothers mind at ease. I thought I might see you home and keep the dragons to the woods away from you.” Remembering the betrayal ot her own Ups to the moment whan Adam kissed her, she winced. She could not accept Wade’s consideration as sweetly as it was given. If he knew, he would not be here. But when he offered her his ana as formally as if they'd been going for a Sunday stroU, she took it and went down the steps with him. Her knees felt shaky and more than anything else she wanted to reach the haven of her own room, fling herself across her bed and forget everything in the oblivion of sleep. Wade spoke only once on the way down. “So Morgan is haunted, too,” he mused. “I hadn’t suspected that ” “YOU mean you think she blames herself to seme way for—* He nodded. "She saw Virginia that day. She just told me today. It wasn’t suicide.” His voice rushed cm, sweefring over to*. “Morgan came through the woods that day. She had on a new hoop skirt and she wanted to show us alt She came to the pool and only Virginia was there, kneeling by the Water, reaching out for a turtle. She knew Virginia couldn’t swim.” Wade’s voice shook, but be con* tinued, determined, “Morgan saw Virginia topple into the water. She got panicky and shouted lor help, but nobody was anywhere nearby. She knew her sloop would drag them both down. So while she wrestled out of it, Virginia drowned. Then Morgan was terrified and ran home * «. — rY* BeCoslmsed/
