The Girl Who Had No Chance By Marlon Rubincam
Wayne County Memorial Committee Recommends Structure
Chapter 9. AXIOUS MOMENTS . On the whole, it was a good thing for Rath that the next few days were
so crowded. For while she waa. wor-,; rled, at least her worries w'ere about j more than her own troubles. There is always consolation in that. i The evening she went upstairs after
sitting in the co!d on tne top or tne porch she found her father lying prop
ped up by pillows, with an open vol
ume of Montaigne s Essays in his hand. "Let's read some of thesa his evening." he suggested', handing her the book. ' ' ' Ruth had been but recently introduced to Montaigne. She and her
father had read through most of the jgood old classics Duncan O'Neil had i a special fondness of the later writers like Scott and Dickens, Thackeray and ! Byron. The year before they had i read every Kipling book in the free j library, and before that, in Ruth's Junior year, they had gone through many ; of what ' Duncan called the "ancient classics." This was when Ruth was studying ancient history, and the old Greek and Roman plays and orations that her father made her read, had done much to make vivid to cor the world of two thousand years before. But the Medieval French philoso
pher was new to her. The first time she had delighted in his simple common sense, his cheery outlook, his occasional mild cynicism. But tonight she could not keep her mind on what she was reading. For there are times when cheerfulness only aggravates. Ruth felt annoyed that Montaigne should offer her consolation. In his life one did not need a knowledge of shorthand and book-keeping to succeed in life! "Never mind, let's talk a little," Duncan O'Neil suggested, when a long pause between words showed him that his daughter's mind was not on her book. "Where's your mother?" "In the kitchen making tomato butter from the last 'tomatoes in the garden. The grocer trusted us for 15 pounds of sugar." The bitterness of 18 when it first faces disillusion was in Ruth's voice. "Ruth," the man said gently after a moment. "You don't know how sorry I am that you could not go to New York today with Myra. Of course you will we will manage it soon " But Ruth knew, almost for the first lime, thtft it would never be "managed Mon" that her father's optimistic remark was only another of his beautiful illusions about lite. She said nothing for awhile. Her face, however, showed the invalid much more than spoken words could
have told.

Memorial Hall The above represents the proposed memorial hall for the Wayne county soldiers of all wars recommended in the report of the memorial committee. The proposed building would cost approximately $53,000, including the cost of the building and the cost of erection.

this evening," she told him. "And mother wants me to pay you $25 on account. Can you take it from this?" They walked back to the house together, Ruth holding in her small pocketbook the fat wad of small bills which had been given her as change. She stuffed them into the box while the doctor went up to her father's room. Her mother was still in the kitchen; the delicious odor of that delectable sweet tomato butter filled the whole house. Then Ruth went down to the porch again and took up her position on the top stp. It was so dark that the yellow asters no longer glowed faintly in the gloom.
