Next, she makes a play for Larry's affections, Thus a struggle develops between the sisters. Meanwhile Larry proposes marriage to Daphne, but she tells him that she must wait. Her reason is that she feels her first duty is te Jennifer: te get her launched on a career, Larry, without knowing this, agrees to wait, Then Jennifer loses her job. night she plans to elope with Tuck. But Daphne, learning of her plans, stops the marriage.

Or didn't vou remember that June 20 is your birthday and June 20 is next week?” “I'm surprised you didn’t make me a pinafore,” her sister retorted

ENNIFER threw down her book

« and walked the length of the room two or three times. “Whether I happen to be in love or not in love with Tuck is no concern of yours. At least, he hasn't troubled you." Or you either, Daphne might have said, since Tuck had taken himself off to California for “a short visit” three months ago and had not returned. “Aren't vou seeing a lot of Roy Trowbridge? I think he's very attractive.” “I'm not boy crazy,” Jennifer said with dignity. “But you wouldn't understand that.” Patiently, Daphne tried another tack. “What would you like do during your two weeks off next month?” =” ” ” ENNIFER said, “Why I'd like to J run over to Paris.

Unruffied, Daphne answered, “I

I haven't had a decent rag in a year and I'd need loads of sports clothes.” Daphne might have said that Jennifer had spent every cent of her generous salary on clothes. Instead she said, “I've a little money in the bank I could let you have. You ought to be able to do very well on $200. Summer sports clothes don’t cost very much. Suppose I keep the bathing suit and give you the trip?” » = ” EFORE Jennifer had a chance to answer their doorbell sounded. “That's Larry and he's early. The Stadium concerts start tonight and we want to get there early.” Daphne got up to answer the bell. Jennifer sighed and walked toward the bedroom. “Please don't go, Jennifer. It isn't necessary for you to run away when Larry comes.” “Who's running away?” Larry demanded. "] was” Larry.” “Darling, will you find yourself a cigaret and amuse Jennifer for a few minutes? I've got to be domestic. Our maid didn’t come today and the laundry is spread out all over my bed. I've got to put it away.”

Jennifer said, “Hello,

ARRY gave a playful tug to Jennifer's golden hair. “Be a good little sister and give your big sister a break. Jennifer will do it, won't you?” Jennifer's eyes called on Heaven to witness her plight. “Really,” she said and picked up her book. “Would you like me to get out a broom, too?” Larry didn't answer her. He read his newspaper until Daphne, fresh and smart in a sheer tailored suit and small sailor, came into the room. “Going out, Jennifer?” “I may.” Still she didn't look up. “I've misplaced my door key. Do you think you'll be here when I get back?” “I haven't any idea.” Daphne turned away ashamed of her sister's rudeness, conscious of her own humiliation.

ATER, when it was intermission and she and Larry sat on the stone steps high in the Stadium, Larry pulled on his pipe and was silent, Daphne had learned to

know these silences which always |

led up to something he didn't want to say. “Daphne, would you mind very much if I were to turn Jennifer over my knee and give her a good walloping?” he said at last. “Yes, I would,” she said. “It doesn’t do any good to try and keep

CHANCE MEETING —By Joseph Lewis Chadwick

ort Story

| UNT BRADLEY, walking along the crowded New York street, suddenly heard some one calling him. “Hunt! Wait . . . Oh, Hunt!” He stopped and turned. He saw a young woman pushing her way | through the crowd. She reached { him, a little breathless, her cheeks flushed. “Hunt, don’t you remember me?” she asked, smiling at him. Hunt stared, thinking, “It can’t be | she! This stunning woman couldn't be Janet Hazleton!” But it was. “Why, of course, I remember you, | Janet!” he said. “How nice to see you!” People were streaming by them. “Can't we go somewhere and talk?” Janet suggested. Hunt hesitated, appraising Janet's sable wrap and her general air of prosperity. | “Certainly,” he replied, after taking all this in. “Why not have lunch together?” = = ” CROSS the lunch table, Hunt studied Janet with unconcealed admiration. When he had last seen her, years ago, in the small town where they had grown up together, | she had been merely pretty. Now at i 38&—Hunt knew Janet was two years younger than he—she was beautiful, stunning! Back home, long ago, he had been Janet's particular beau—had, fact, been engaged toc her. He had, however, gone away and He began to think now he had made a mistake. In those days, he had had a job in a bank and had gone in for dramatics on the side. He had frequently landed parts with road shows which came to town and needed actors for bit roles for the duration of the play's run at the local theater, It was at the theater that Hunt had met Vivian Blane,

panies, iv creature, and had fascinated | Hunt. Moreover, she had returned { his interest. = » » HEN one of the company's

ill, it was Vivian who had got Hunt a try-out for the part. He had won the role, and had, of course, quit his ( bank job to travel on with the show. Janet had been thrilled. She had always been intrigued by the stage, and thought it was marvelous that Hunt at last had a real chance to | realize his dramatic ambitions.

Q—Does the Social Security Act provide for unemployment or employment insurance?

A—It provides for approval of State laws which meet certain requirements, which in turn provide | for payments to individuals during periods of unemployment, and such insurance is called “Unemployment Compensation” in the Social Security Act. Q—Has any man been elected | President by a majority electoral vote who received less than a plurality of popular votes? A—Rutherford B. Hayes, in 1876, received about 200,000 fewer popular votes than Samuel J. Tilden, and in 1888 Benjamin Harrison was elected although his popular vote was about 96,000 less than Grover Cleveland's. Q—Where does the hair sold in wigs and switches in beauty parlors and department stores come from? A—The greater part is imported through French dealers. For many years the peasant girls of southern France, Belgium, Switzerland, and the Netherlands gave many of their locks and tresses for making switches and curls. The shorter hair offered for sale is more commonly picked out from women’s combings that have been saved and combed out.
