PAGE FOUR THE WORLD WITH A FENCE A New Novel by Marian Sims $ SYNOPSIS: Carot Torrance has @ job in Atlanta. She has a consi grate employer, by name Ble Thornton, and she has some amus ing friends. She wanted just this, and she should be happy. The only trouble is that she cannot disre- gard the obvious fact that Blake and his wife are not happy. Irma Thornton spends her summers in the mountains. and her winters in Florida. Blake has spent the last week-end with Irma—and he cer- tainly did not look to Carol like a man who expected to enjoy him- aelf when he left. 2 Chapter 28 BOSS FOR DINNER LAKE dropped several! sheets of paper on Carol's desk. “The Acme Cleaners have just in- stalled the Martex equipment, and they want a quarter-page ad about it. Here’s the technical information; you'll know how much of it a cus- tomer would be interested in.” She nodded without speaking, and began to study the information. The hands of her watch said half-past three; she would just about have time to finish this afternoon. . . . She took it to him at five o'clock, and waited while he read it. Prob- ably, she thought without resent- ment, he wouldn’t like it at all. He read it through and chuckled. “You do take down your back hair With ’em, don’t you?” He added care- lessly: ‘ “If you don’t mind waiting ten minutes I'll drive you home.” She said frankly: “I'd wait an hour to avoid that street car.” “It must be awful. Tell the other girls I'll take them too; they're off my beat, but they probably feel the same way.” The four of them talked very little during the drive to West End. With- in the office they were at ease, bound by a common interest. Outside its walls, and in Blake’s presence, they were strangers to each other, and their talk was shouted across a gulf of different backgrounds. At their own doorways Freddie and Laura thanked him profusely, and were en- gulfed by their own homes. HEN they were alone Carol said abruptly: “Blake, it’s perfectly insane for you to work all summer. It’s not even good business, because you're bound to pay for it sooner or later. Why on earth don’t you go to Roekbrook for at least a week or ten days?” He turned his head and smiled briefly at her. “Have you ever seen Rockbrook?” “No, but I’ve seen several of its cousins. Even if it bores you, you ought to have several days of rest. Bored people usually get fat, don’t they? ‘Fat and bored’; they go to- gether like ham and eggs.” “Maybe. I'd rather be thin.” “Then go somewhere else.” “1 can’t afford to go anywhere, child.” “Rot. You can’t afford not to.” “Well, I'm not going to, so you might as well save your thoughtful- ness for a worthier object. Not,” he added softly, after several seconds, Pleased wit! so little had obviously been given nothing.

Appealing to Texans for a 250 thousand dollar fund for Jim Farley, Texas New Deal Campaign Headquarters stated: “When this furid of one billion dollars sent-to Texas is analyzed, compared and contrasted, it preserits an unusual picture. “For instance, the Roosevelt-Garner Administration gave to Texas four thousand times the amount sought as a campaign contribution in this State, which is only 250 thousand dollars. Expressed in another way, Texas is asked to give but 1/40th of ohe per cent of the one billion dollars toward the campaign war chéét. .. .
