But people will talk, and the Rockville neigh- bors said that a girl of 27 has gone a long time with- out getting mar- ried. Especially as there wasn't any good reason, for Evelyn was very pretty; people were inclined to be sus- picious. Evelyn's long lashes half covered her eyes, and through the shadow of | them she saw her man, with that| little, teasing smile at the corners ol‘ his mouth and in his eyes. But Evelyn had never met him, and she | shrugged her shoulders, “you shouldn't be standing there looking at yourself and dreaming away “I DON'T WAN' THE dey was very beautiful and warm; blue and bright were the Maryland skies and the grass re- flected the sun- light.

Striving to forecast the weather a week ahead more accurately than it does at present, the Weather Bureau is negotiating with the Soviet govern- ment for daily radio reports on condi- tions in Siberia. ‘Willis R.

The last Con- gress failed to provide funds and yesterday a P. W. A. project con- taining the prison program was re- Jected. The prison population boost—ex- isting and expected-was credited by officials to several factors, among them the aggressive war of the “G” men, new liquor laws, new crime laws and the loss of use of the Army's Fort Leavenworth annex, where 1,685 convicts now are housed. The Prison Bureau has been ordered to return use of the annex to the Army by next July.

You'd make any man a good wife.” “Yes, and it's about time she did.” gaid Evelyn’s mother, looking at Al- | bert. “Here, take the lunch, Albert, | and have a good time on the picnic. | Don't drive too fast, and don't stay out too late.” “We'll be home by 10 o'clock,” said Albert. “Yes,” sighed Evelyn, and they went | out and got into Albert’s car and | drove away. i | wasn't a bad fellow at all. | for?

Sometimes I think it's only because your mother likes me that you see me at all.” “Oh, that isn't the only reason,” said Evelyn, and she wondered if she were wrong. What was she waiting as she'd probably ever meet. Then what was the matter with her? “Not the only reason, eh! Well, that's one way of putting it,” Albert snickered. They came now to a little pool, ang Evelyn looked down in it and over | her shoulder she saw Albert. | “It isn't any good,” Albert went | on, “we can't continue in this way.
