MONDAY, NOVEMBER 380, 1936: by BAILEY WOLFE”. Chapter One Breakfast At R-R-R...” The Warrens’ At the harsh jangle of the alarm clock, Sally Warren started wide awake. For a moment she stared with dream-elouded:eyes.at the pink. roses. on the wall-paper, -while:;:the, -bell wrangled persistently. Then; as,the familiar objects of her room began to.emerge elearly... she reached. for the clock and_turned off the alarm with a practiced finger. She did not get up immediately, for this was the moment Sally loved, the time between waking and rising when she lay quietly in .he old walnut bed, with the blue and white patchwork quilt drawn up under her chin. From where she lay, she could look straight into the upper branches of the apple tree, spreading out pink and white and green over the side yard. . But this morning Sally had more exciting prospects before ‘ee her than the brightness of the April day. She was going to work. At nine o'clock she would walk into the edi- torial room of the Warrenton Courier and sit down «t her own desk to begin her first real job. Already she had been to the news- paper office and gone over her duties with Miss Delia Cotton, the spinster ‘iety editor. who was at last giving ch ill health and retiring.

Briefly she considered her three mesentable spring dresses, and de- tided on the green linen., As she ‘tood before the chest of drawers for me last peck at herself before she ‘went downstairs, she thought, “I’m at least neat and businesslike.” Miss lia Cotton would have said that looked “like a perfect lady.” and she did with her trim figure and small hands and feet. Above the dainty collar of her blouse. Sally’s face rose clear and cameo-cut, her gkin healthily warm, eyes bright and live. ‘I Was Just Plain Lazy’ the way downstairs, Sally stopped to knock at the twins’ 's. Her own room separated rs from each other just as she 8 between the.twins themselves eir squabbles—a sort of friendly a an’s land. She had to rap twice foF each of them and she was late atethat. Ray always had some last mfnute studying to do and Tip had to. be called and threatened for at feast halt an nour. Perhaps. Sally ee she wouldn’t be calling the ins at all this time next year. In less than two months they would be Giflished with high school, and next year Ray would go off to college all went well. And Tip—what would pietty, fy-away Tip do when she no longer had even the slender ties of high school to bind her down to seriousness? Sally didn’t know, but at least she didn’t have time to worry about Tip this morning. As she went through the dining toom, she noticed that the table was Her stepmother must have risen much earlier than usual because Sally was starting to work. “Mother!” she cried. at sight of Adelaide Warren bent over the table cutting out dough in a flurry of our. “You're making biscuits. You must have got up terribly early—” “Somebody had to get up,” said her stepmother sharply. ARMY WILL PLAY [BEAUTY SHOPPE Adelaide Warren had refused to have one because they were “lazy and thriftless.” To Sally, who really liked it, had fallen the major share of the cooking. “I'm just about through now.” said Adelaide grudgingly, but giving over the biscuit cutter. “Didn't your alarm go off this morning?” “Yes—I was just plain lazy.” said Sally assembling the breakfast with skilful hands. “1 can’t budge the twins, either.” “Ray was up studying till land knows when,” said his mother. “And Tip was out at that party till all hours, It seems as if she’s just starved for sleep. A growing girl like that can’t have too much sleep, and she’s got to take it at this end of the night or miss some of her good time.” Mrs. Warren herself had married late and worked hard before her marriage so that she felt she had missed.a-good Jeal of her own “good time.” Although Sally was only 22, four years older than Tip ang Ray. she thought of herself as mucn,older’ and the twins were just as much “the children” to Sally as they were to their mother. A Girl Needs Good Clothes NOTHER cal. for Tip anc Ray brought Robert Warren nimseif to the breakfast table. Tall, and a little stooped, Sally’s father had the gentle. courteous manner of the traditional southern gentleman. He had never been a money-maker, but he had been satisfied with his income as 3 small town lawyer and his positior as 8 member of one of the oldest families in the town until his northern wife had convinced him that he was @ failure. The loss of his small invest- ments had lessened his self respect and thinned his hair. Sally. pulling out his chair for him and giving him his newspaper, paused to kiss his bald spot. “Another year like this; ‘last ore | and you'll look like Deacon Prentiss on top. darling.” shé told hitn. “Another year like this last one v fi — “Your mother, Sally,” said Robert Warren, “was a charming woman, a Christian, and a lady, though she didn’t. know what work was in the sense that you use the word She presided over her house, she had her social life, her child, her charities— she was a woman who graced her home.” “I'm sorry, Robert, if you feel it ts necessary to speak to Sally in this way. If ['ve not made you a good wife—the kind you expected, then I'm sorry for it, but as God is my wit- ness I've done my best, even though you and Sally have made it hard fot me.” Her voice trembling with anger and hurt, Mrs. Warren turned away and fumbled ‘n the china closet. “I beg your pardon, Adelaide,” said Robert Warren. “You've been all that —that you should be to me. It’s | who haven’t done my best. ['m a failure. Every day brings it home to me more and as 1 see you and the children doi ithout things and working when yéu should be enjoying yourselves.” “Of course,” said Mrs. Warren, hitting and scoring spree. A total of 19 runs ang 19 hits were made in this fracas. Leading batters were Garcig;‘:Villareal, Malgrat and Valdez for the losers, and J. Roberts, Goss‘and Kennedy for the victors.

This by far the best played game of the league and one of the best seen on a local diamond in many a moon. Manager Thrower of the Army used his “ace” pitcher, “Cannon- ball” Conch Hodges, who twirled R. H.

The first round was taken by Cookie and Hartley by one up and it looked like the last round would go to them too until Valter! woke up and started helping Geo. with the result they won by 2 up for the day and caused Cookie anc Hartley to go home mad and re fuse to eat their dinner. However, their respective wives said they could not find same later in the day.
