An airy d_ceiling done in dark blue looked down over the | rose garden—over the evergreen hedge —over the tops of other homes, to a horizon the smoky blue of October.

Yellow | marigolds and blue cornflowers from | n glass | t content | which not even the animal spirits of her two husky boys | could shatter, was in marked contrast to tke strained -excitement of the Carter house, where 50 many antago- nistic lives were crowded under one roof. It she and Stan could have a home | like this—thought Judy regretfully. Something more modest, perhaps—but exclusively their own, instead of,being crowded in with his mother and"Vera d Mary of Rosamond's letter he qucer fecling in her, own It fsn't envy.

A small, ultra hat, flaring so sharply on one side that Eunice must keep her head turned when she danced, so that her perfect face was poised temptingly just below Stan’s lips.V. . . Judy was tired and nervous at the end of the week, and_ her recent cold | threatened to come back upan her. | She was glad they had a quiet dinner— Amy and Eunice had gone to the city | with a couple of friends Directly after dinner Judy had gon upstairs to bed. Stan remained below in the library; he had to write letters, he sald. Judy stretched wearily in the big mahogany bed. Here, in this suite of ; Stan's, was the only place she really felt at home in the house. Here at least was rest, . . . 8he awoke with a start. A moon- less night left the room almost totally dark.

A light in the library—and relief in her heart. Stan was still there. . . . He'd become engrossed in work—he'd forgotten the time. A little rush of shame went over Judy. She was ashamed of her sus- picions. She would go in—scold him lovingly for being so late. He must come to bed and get his rest. . . . The doorway was draped with heavy portieres. Judy's hand was out- stretched” to draw them aside, when she stopped, frozen. Volces murmuring in there . . . a low, tender laugh . . . Eunice's voice. MILLION EXPECTED IN PARKS THIS YEAR Golf, Tennis and Base Ball Leading Attractions to Capital Public. The use of Washington's parks has grown to such an extent officials of the Office of Public Buildings and Public Parks expect that more than 1,000,000 persons will enjoy recreational facilities this coming season. Back in 1890 it required an act of Congress to permit base ball playing on the Monument Grounds. Tennis, base ball and golf are the favorite sports now, according to the figures for 1931, just made public. Golf led with 423,353 players, and next came tennis, with 265,609 participants. Base | ball drew 92.346 players and 411,900 23,489 players and 100,700 spectators. | Polo, with only 972 players, attracted 75,100 spectators. In all 23,022 cars were parked around the field in Potomac Park during the year Archery drew 5,400 participants and 18,300 spectators. Croguet was Te- sponsible for 7,500 players and 10,500 spectators, The band concerts in the park, while fewer than usual, were the magnet for 71,400 persons, There were 41 concerts canceled last year, as the bands were on tour for extended periods. Fifty-one concerts were held. Just at present, recreational activi- tles in the parks are at low ebb, but the concrete tennis courts are in use daily. 'GIRO CRASH .STATEMENT REPUDIATED BY MOFFETT Blade of Machine Not Carried Away in Accident, Official Declares. Although the Navy Department officially announced January 18 that an autogiro accident at Quantico, Va., was due to a blade being carried away, | Rear Admiral William A. Moffett issued a statement -asserting this was in error. The statement follows: “With reference to a statement made by the Navy Department on January 18 in regard to an accident to an autogiro at Quantico, further investigation shows that the statement made that one of THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO.
