| Outrageous Fortune She found the office quite easily. An elderly clerk inquired her busi- ness. He had a pale plump face, and reminded her of one of those fish which flap slowly to and fro be- hind the plate glass of an aquarium. The light in the office was almost as-opaque as water, and he had the {pale inwinking stare of a fish. He had a voice that matched, high and =) “Please may Fsee an entry in the register?

She looked at him with bewildered eyes, “Please may I see the register of Marriages for the twenty-fifth of July?” “Last July?” “Yes—oh yes.” She stood and waited. She wasn’t afraid; she kept insisting on that. »|'There was nothing tobe afraid @bout—there couldn't be. She was going to see Jim Ridd eigna- ture, and it would be the signature of a stranger. There wasn’t the very slightest possible doubt about that. She saw the clerk turn the pages of the register—big, stiff pages thick ‘with the names of men and women who had gone adventuring into mar- Tlage through.this drab back door. Perhaps if-you loved someone, very much, you. wouldn't notice the lino leum and the smell of disinfectant, “Here. youare,” eaid the clerk in his high weak voice. He stood aside and pointed at the left-hand page of the open book. Caroline, a little dazed, looked down at the names. Shesaw Nesta’s name first—‘Nesta Williams, spin- eter.” And then—“James Riddell, that} bachelor.” It wasn’t Jim's writing— of course it wasn’t. What odd writ- ing it was—like a child’s. No, it wasn't. A child wrote round hand. This was more like shaky print. She looked up with a puzzled frown. “What funny writing!” “What?” said the clerk. “Oh, that?

Why didn’t she feel all happy and triumphant? Why didn't she even feel relief? Why did she feel as if there was something Just round the next corner? The flame died down. She felt — to be directed to Saracen “Third to the left, second to the right, and third to the left again,” said the clerk. Caroline turned back at the door. “Do you remember this Mr. Rid- delli—could whether he was dark or fair, or short or tall?” “No, miss, I can't—and you might take that to mean that there wasn't anything very much to remember. ‘ou take my meaning?

Bethel, Jr., entertained a large number of their little friends last evening at a Hallowe’en party on the Williams’ lawn on Ashe street. The extensive lawn was elab- orately and appropriately decorat- ed. Witches, ghosts and lanterns predominating in the scheme. Un- faer the lights, especially ararnged for startling effects, the grounds and surroundings presented a wierd appearance: The youngsters were introduced to the “House of Horrors” and other fantastic entertainment which kept them excited and amused. Duckitfg apples was the game that most appealed to them. And screams of delight and ringing laughter_greeted the efforts of the contestants to grasp in their teeth the elusive apples in the tub of water. Other ‘games were played and the fortunate ones to gain prizes were Mary Elizabeth Williams, Waldo Collins, Mary Sawyer, Joyce Whitmarsh J, B. Sawyer and Ar- thur Albury. . During the evening the guests enjoyed a bouteous supply of can- dy, cake, fruit and soda water. Those present were: Rosabelle Bethel, Rebah Bethel, Nathalie Bethel, Rosalie Williams, Mary Elizabeth Williams, Majorje Williams, Eloise Sawyer, Juanita Griffin, Zelma Dee Griffin, Joyce Whitmarsh, Viola May Whitmarsh, Victoria Arnold, Marguerite De Leon, Phyliss Roberts, Ann Saw- yer, Della May Curry, Rose Mary Demeritt, Edna Riggs, Norma Riggs, Doris Roberts, Gloria Riggs.
