B—10 B PHYLLIS MOORE GA LLAGH E R WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE. Betsy Seymour is torn between love and ealousy over Marshall Van Deventer. who Professes ' love for her. but clandesiinely mmeets Libby Stockton. spolled daughter of an old and wealthy Washington family. Betsy s also admired by Raoul de Pru- Latin American diplomat. and h siudying law n ause of Marshall's aitention to Libby at & dinner given by Jennie Travers, Betsy asks John to take her home, and her and tel that some time she will love him, er Arriving_home in_hi met during a_student escapade. and with whom he is infatuated.

When he‘ heard her voice on the wire he | promptly hung up. Betsy laun- dered some of her underthings, pressed them while they were still damp and caught up the torn seams and straps. Then she called Marshall nexi morning again. He cut her off, gruffly, with, | “Please don't call me again, Betsy. Don't make a nuisance of yourself. I've got to think this out, see?” She didn't call him again after that. She told herself, “He'll forgive me after he thinks about it! & man good to believe he has some competition!” Her mother left to go downtown at 10 o'clock and her father went out to look for work, as he always did each day, so Betsy did the house- cleaning. But, no matter how hard she worked, she was conscious of a dull ache around her heart. Suppose Mar- shall didn't forgive her? Suppuse he made a very big and hideous thing | out of her kissing John Storm? Oh, he wouldn't do that! He couldn't! And yet, hadn't she made a big 4nd hideous thing out of his attention to Libby? Hadn't she taken a few harm- less things and twisted them into hor- | rible meanings? At last she went wearily to John's room. She stood there for a long | while looking around before she start- | ed to clean. A photograph of a stern, gray- haired man who was probably the | father with whom he had climbed | the Tyrols last Summer, was on his desk; and on his dresser, no¢ ‘ramed, but lying face upward, was the pic- | ture of a girl. One of those misty, dim-lit photographs that disguise the soul and cost like the very dickens. A blond, beautiful girl she was. Her eyes were heavily shaded by long, curling lashes and her mouth was small and sculptured. Scrawled across | the bottom of the folder was: “To my darling, John. From Angelica, Christmas.” So last Christmas John Storm had been Angelica Somebody-or-other’s darling! still Angelica’s darling, and suddenly | she didn't like the blond, beautiful | picture. way about an inanimate object. of course. John didn’t mean anything to her. But the girl in the picture | looked cold and hard and, yes, cruel— | despite all the retoucher had done | to disguise her soul. Betsy turned the photograph face downward and said: “Down with you, my good woman! You're not good enough for him! I've a hunch that you'd make him miserable, An- gelica whoever-you-are!” Then she started to clean the room. The telephone shrilled through the stillness of the small house and Betsy flew into the hall, saying, “I call that mental telepathy or something!” But it wasn't Marshall. It was Jennie Travers. Jennie wanted o know how Betsy was and if she had completely recovered from her faint- ing spell. Betsy said: “It's sweet of you to call, Jennie. I'll manage to live, I guess!” And Jennie said: “Libby tells me that you're going to make your debut with her this Win- ter. That's great! I'm making mine right after New Year. I'm asking you right now, my little sister debbie, to assist me that day. Of course, I realize no one will look at me with you passing cookies, but I'll have to bear up under it!” Then she asked if John was there, and when Betsy told her that he had gone to school Jennie said: “Tell him that Angelica Dodd blew in town from Europe and is spending the week with me! Which means she probably won't leave until I blast her out with TNT!" After a few minutes more of non- sense Jennie said: “Don’t do any- thing you can’'t do on a bicycle, Betsy, and—I'll be seein’ you!” and Betsy hung up and scribbled the note for John and left it on the hall table. Then she went to her room. She locked the door carefully and took the pads of paper, the pencils and erasers from the bottom drawer of her bureau. If Terry or mother ever caught her at this she'd never be able to live it down. Terry would say: “So youre going to be an au- thoress, are you?” and his voice would sound as if he had hit upon the most supremely funny thing in the world. Mother would say: “What- ever makes you think you can write, dear? No one in our family ever had a writing turn. You'd better spend your time taking shorthand at one of the business schools, so you can get exchanged from typist to stenographer in the Government.” But father knew about her ambition and father had said: “Stick to it, Betsy. If you think you can write— you can!” And so, more than a year and a half ago, she had started on her book. She had written patiently, tediously, 30 whole chapters; had cried over them because she had expressed herself so clumsily, so poorly. She had torn them up, had rewritten them twice and had almost convinced herself that she couldn’t create anything that would be worth & plugged dime to a publisher. Yet, in the end, she had kept at it. Now she had 40 chapters that she really liked. Two or three more and the novel would be finished. It was & beautiful story. It never left her. * Sometimes when she was dancing with Marshall she’'d say to herself: “I'll make my hero's voice like his,” or “I wish I could get on paper that look that comes into Marshall's eyes when he's angry. It's flery and pas- sionate, and yet, at the same time, it’s gentle. As if he had two natures, one battling against the other—one good, one bad.” Today, as she wrote, curled up on the bed like a fluffy kitten, she found herself describing John Storm’s mouth. “It’s odd,” she thought, “that a mouth can express so much. Eyes are sup- posed to be the windows of the soul, | 2 on the way he kisses | It does | It was silly to feel that | but sometimes I think a mouth ex- | presses a person's character infinitely | more. Angelica’s lips are cold and cruel and Libby Stockton’s are mock- | ing, icily mocking. John's mouth looks as if it could never utter any- thing harsh and Jennie’s is as friendly as a wet pup's!” Mrs. Seymour returned at 4 o'clock and knocked at Betsy's door. In a sudden panic Betsy packed all of her writing materials under the cretonne coverlet on her bed, almost overturn- ing the ink on the rag rug, and hurried to open the door. Her mother’s slim face was flushed from the walk from the downtown district, her coat was damp with the nebulous mist of the afternoon and the feather on her old, faded straw hat drooped dejectedly. She had a | big store box under her arm and | she bristled importantly into Betsy's oom. ! “Darling!” she said, snapping the | string on the box. have!” Betsy looked, her eyes widened. Her mother was ‘taking out of the box an ice-blue satin robe de style stud- ded on its tight bodice with glittering rhinestones. It had an old Colonial | neckline that was made to circle | the shoulders like an oval and which would be, Betsy saw instantly, vastly becoming. “Mother!” she ecried. | you do it? How?" | " “Never mind!” | “Try it on, dear. Oh, I do hope it fits.

You shouldn’t have done | this. How did you manage?” “I said,” her mother scolded, gently. “Never mind!" Betsy scrambled out of her dress and slithered into the new ice-blue satin. Her voice was muffled beneath the luxurious silk. She said, "It was John Storm's room rent, wasn't it, mother? He paid in advance, | didn't he? You bought this dress | for me with his money? Oh, you | shouldn't have done it! How about the electric bill and that new dress you really need for church—oh, mother!™ When her small golden head came p through the Colonial neckline there | were tears brimming on her dark | tashes. | Her mother stood back on her flat heels, shaking her head, her tired face beaming. “T'll declare!” she said, awed. “Fine | feathers certainly do make the bird! | I never——" Then words failed her. | She could see Betsy at the legation reception tonight.

I told him that!” But Marshall didn't call. (To be continued tomorrow.) BY JEAN NEWTON. Calling It Junk. JUNK, prosaic and profuse enough, is one of the interesting words in the English lexicon. Directly we have it from the Por- tuguese junco, rush. The Portuguese term, in turn is derived from the Latin juncus, bulrush. The bulrush was a stout plant, and out of it, in the early days, was made rope. In time, other materials were requisitioned for this purpose. How- ever, a lot of the old, worn and more or less useless rope and cordage re- mained -around to clutter up places, this continuing to be known as junco (junk) after the name of its in- gredient. In time junk lost this original specialized sense, but the idea was carried over so that it was applied to almost anything that was obsolete or used up—pieces of old cable, torn mats, rusted iron, superfluous glass, unwanted paper and the like.

The noble family of Caulfield springs from ancestors of great an- tiquity in the County of Oxford, Eng- land. Sir Toby Caulifield, a dis- tinguished soldier during the reign of Queen Elizabeth, was employed by her majesty against the formidable O'Neile, Earl of Tyrone, who was causing great disturbance in Ireland. The family of Caulfield thus became established in the Emerald Isle, and each generation contributed a bril- liant chapter to Irish history.

RANDFATHER FROG sat on his big green lily pad in the Smiling Pool, enjoying the| sound of his own voice. Yes, sir, that is what he was doing. He| was getting so much pleasure from | just listening to himself that he ap- peared to have forgotten everything else. There are folks like that, you| know. With his long neck folded back, 8o, that his head rested on his shoulders, and with his long legs straight out behind him, Quawk the Night Heron flew up from the Big River and quiet- ly dropped in among the rushes at the lower end of the Smiling Pool. | There he stood motionless for a while, listening to Grandfather Frog and studying the best way to appreach. ;Whnt he saw didn't encourage him | much.

Quawk knew by experience that there | he was just out of reach, even though | he, Quawk, should wade in as far as he could. “Perhaps,” though Quawk, “he’ll come ashore after a while.” Down from the Old Pasture trot- ted Reddy Fox. Reddy also had helrd} that provocative voice. As he ap- proached the Smiling Pool he crouched low in the grass and crept forward, flattening himself as much as possible. He crept to the edge of the bank | and peeked over. He could see Grand- father Frog sitting out there on his big green lily pad. Reddy was disap- | He certainly cculdn't catch “Per- come pointed.

Pres- ently he saw a sharp face peer out,| The Sudden Silence. and recognized Bobby Couon. Reddy knew at once what had brought Bobby there. He knew that Bobby had heard Grandfather Frogs voice. It was even so. Bobby stole along the edge of the Smiling Pool where the Black Shadows were blackest. Then he, too, sat down to wait. “Perhaps,” thought he, “he’ll ~nme ashore after a while.” A few minutes later Reddy saw what at first he took to be a big It was not far from where Bobby Coon was itting. Reddy paid no particular attention to it until he discovered that it had changed position. Then he waiched it sharply. He had a suspicion, and before long that suspicion became a certainty. “It's Buster Bear,” muttered Reddy under his breath. “As sure as I live, it's Buster Bear. Now, what could have brought that fellow out of the Green Forest and down here? I know. He heard Grandfather Frog. He heard Grandfather Frog and he has come down here to sce if he can catch him. Grandfather Frog seems Well, I only hope that he comes ashore on my side of the Smiling Pocl.” Reddy was right. It was Buster Bear, and it was Grandfather Frog's voice that had brought Buster down there. You would have been surprised could you have seen Buster on his way there. You would have been sur- | prised that one so big could have moved so silently. Now, as he moved along the shore, not s sound was to be heard. When he had reached the spot from which he could see Grand- | father Frog in the muonlight, Buster | stopped. He was as motionless as | Reddy Fox or Bobby Coon. He knew that he couldn’t catch Grandfather Frog out where he then was. “Per- haps,” thought he, “he’ll come ashore | after a while.” “Chug-arum! Chug-arum! Chug- arum! cried Grandfather Frog, and every time he did so hc made the mouths of those who were watching | him water. He didn't know this. He had been so intent on the enjoyment | of the sound of his own voice that he had given no thought to possible danger. Perhaps it was because he felt so very safe out there on that big green lily pad. Coming from far ovcr the Green Meadows, Hooty the Owi passed low over the head of Reddy Fox. So low that his great silent wings almost brushed the tips of Reddy's ears. Straight over the Smiling Pool he passed, his great feet reaching for | | Grandfather Frog. Grandfather Frog @idn't finish his chug-arum he had | started. He got only as far as “chug” when his great goggly eyes on the top of his head caught what seemed like a moving shadow. Instantly those great, powerful hind legs of his shot him into the water in a beautiful dive. Hooty struck, but he was just too late. There was a sudden silence. (Copyright, 1035.)

In a world such as| ours, routine naturally occupies the larger place in work. That's why we have so many laws, rules and regula- tions. That's why we need so many administrators whose business is to keep our organizations working. Some have supposed that routine- minded persons are born that way. This is another mistaken notion. It's a question of habit formation. Any work whatever requires a certain amount of routine; at least, enough to keep step with the rising and setting sun, which is the cosmic reason for the conservation of energy. ‘Those who say they abhor routine do not usually weigh their words. If one would be happy, one should con- sider the plain fact that stability, cer- tainty and permaneney can be secured only on the habit level. If we were to break entirely from routine, we would be unable to accomplish anything. Our entire time would be consumed in planning for the next step—a next step which is never taken until some one comes along to reduce it to a function of the nervous system, that is to a habit.
