THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1936. by BAILEY WOLFE SYNOPSIS: Sally Warren, so- ciety editor of the Warrenton Courier, is secretly engaged to Terry Maynard, boyish blond aviator who has a South Ameri- can job promised. But her pretty, headstrong younger sister, Tip, falls in love with Terry. Philip Page returns to his boyhood home and buys the Courier, backing the ‘workmen tka strike at the Morris mill. Terry urges Sally to marry him at once, but she asks a week to decide. Wealthy, handsome Mary Morris thinks she’s in love with Philip and asks Sally to help her interest him. would have liked Mary to see the place under the hot glare of the sun. “They ought to pave this cow- path,” said Mary disgustedly. “I bet it’s lined with broken bottles and old nails.” When they stopped before the Mc- Donalds’ house, Mary brought out a large bundle of clothes. .“Mother terest in Raving all these odds and ends made over,” she chuckled. As they went up the path, they heard the hum of the sewing machine inside. Sally wondered if May never stopped. She felt guilty, bringing her new burdens. Three children were sitting on the top step, playing with fireflies they had caught and imprisoned ai a ‘ a? bottle. They stared at Mary and Sally ee ee ..| as May McDonald let them in.

What matter how she became inter-} ested? | Sally had a sudden idea. “Do you ever have any sewing to be done?” “Mother sometimes has a seam-| stress out at the house for a week at} a time,” said Mary. “What has that, ith Philip’ j i ndously - interested} in helping the folks in Mil!town.” “I know.

She altar, Sa Mary w “T've brought you some more work,” said Sally, apologetically. “Have you, now? That's real kind of you. Such a pretty friend you've got, too.” “This is Miss Morris,” said Sally, watching May closely. May darted a quick look at Sally, then scrutinized | Mary sharply. “i've seen her picture in the pa- pers,” said May, nodding compre- hendingly. They did not stay long. Mary ex- plajned what she wanted done, and May was quick to understand. There | was none of the friendly talk that logized. Sally and Lola Hopkins enjoyed when they.came to see May. To May, Joe Morrig, daughter could be nothing but an enemty, come for some other purpose than to get sewing done. As for Mary Morris, she was frankly in a hurry to get out of the stifling heat of the little house. Terry Waits An Hour “]'M WILTED,” she moaned as they went down the path. “This is cer- tainly a labor of love, Sally. I wotlldn’t set foot in that house again except for Philip.” “What about May?” Sally. “She lives there.” he must be used to it,” said Mary, ir she'd die.” A thin little boy of 11 was standing by the car. “Hello,” said Sally. name?” “Joe Morris McDonald.

He's probably right, but Dad says he’s not practical” ary drove Sally home swiftly. AS she went up the path to her own house, Sally wondered whether she had done harm or good by intro- jducing Mary to May McDonald. She would have to explain some things to May. Mrs. Warren was sitting on the front porch in a rocker. “Is that you, Sally?” she peered through the dusk. “Now that’s a ame. Terry Maynard waited here a full hour for you. 1 told him you'd be back. Finally Tip came in and he took | her off with him.” “Thank you, Mother.” Sally’s spirits sank like lead. Terry must have been angry with her not to wait. Or per- haps he wanted to take Tip with him and was glad of her absence. (Copyright, 1936, Bailey Wolfe) Tomorrow Sally decides not to marry in haste.
