, FEBRUARY 22 YESTERDAY: bod has an op- portunity to leave St. Joseph and go with a shoe store in a country town. Sue is expecting a baby. Chapter 31 Queen City Bos eyes lingered regretfully on the mellow old room. ‘I never expected to hate giving this up! | thought we’d moved into the poorhouse when you picked this out. But you’ve made it mighty comfortable, honey. I should think you'd have a pang or two yourself when you think about leaving it.” “Oh, I do! I love every board in this funny old floor. I love the garden I literally wrested from the weeds and clods of the back yard. But I can make another garden, and we'll take this furniture with us, of course. It’s sort of exciting to create things, isn't it?” “Sort of. You don’t think the ill complicate the situation? bout doctors—hospitals? I t think Queen City boasts much in either line.” “It's only ninety miles from here: 1 could easily come in. be- | forehand. Are you—are you thrilled about our daughter’s .m- pending arrival, Bob?” “I'm knocked clean off my feet at the idea cf having a son,” he countered promptly. “You know, Sue,” he went on in a rare burst of confidence, “I've wanted kids —lately. Not at first. | was all in a ferment about you when we were first married. And then things got bad with the business, and I was worried and upset, and the crash came. I was darned glad then there weren't children to complicate matters. | suppose we're really in no position to have them now, for that matter. Still, going to— “Exactly!” she agreed. “I’m aw- fully happy about it, Bol She continued to be happy dur- ing the tiring days which followed. A storm of protest greeted the Trenton’s announcement that they were leaving St. Joseph for the small town of Queen City. Allen was seriously disturbed over it. “Talk about a future! What fus ture can there possibly be for a man in a country store? A shoe- store at that! I never even heard of a shostore in a town of that size.

PBorest and Bar- bara Webb gave what they called a “donati party” on their last evening in town. The guests brought their own refreshments, their own paper cups and plates and fc . even their own folding chairs, since the furniture had gone by truck that afternoon nd Bob had expected to and sleep at the hotel, | driving directly to Queen City the if we're ever | BY LOUISE PLATT HAUCK periodicals dealing with farn problems; fruitcake, boxes an¢ boxes of it; two gorgeous Cana dian blankets, light and soft; the collection looked like a cross be tween an outfit for an Arctic ex- pedition, and supplies being lai¢ in for a house party. “You'll see the day you'll need every bit of it and more,” Fores! predicted darkly. “I understanc you can’t even buy Cheddar cheese in Queen City!” “Even then we may be able te worry along,” Bob assured him “As a matter of fact, I don’t be- lieve we've been buying many faney cheeses in the last year o1 two, eh, Sue’ She was dimpling and smiling over the “donations.” “You're darlings, every one of you,” she said warmly. “Even if Queen City is al] of ninety miles away, 1 suppose we may hope to see you now and then? Say every five years or so? These will come in handy when you do drop in, at any rate!” “Plan to come on Saturday and buy your shoes from me,’ was Bob’s brazen suggestion. “You'll get a lot more for your money in Queen City than you will here, let me tell you! My overhead alone will be lower than—” Barbara extended a satin sandat. “Going to carry these in stock, Bob? I expect not. Boots to plow in will be more in your line.” “That’s where you’re wrong,” was the cool answer. “Small town girls nowadays like chic footgear as well as their city sisters!” Even £».e was half incredulous of ‘this statement. She had ex- pected, beneath the layers of her conscious mind, to be more or less alone in her new environment. She was punished speedily for this involuntary snobbishness. Neighbors ‘HE house Bob had rented in Queen City was almost as large as their first home though without most of its conveniences, It had in fact been a farm house until the lusty little city overtook it. It still spread ample skirts of lawn on either: side, with lilacs, peonies, spice bush, syringa and iris to form the nucleus of Sue’s new garden. In the back there were three glorious apple trees, a dark-limbed peach which was to glow with the rosiest blossoms its new owner had. ever seen, and rows of stately hollykocks. Next door in an immaculate white cottage lived three most re- | markable women. One was the author of a textbook on calculus, a subject the very mention of which terrified Sue’s very soul. One was co-editor of a well-known garden magazine. The third, per- haps the most interesting of all, was = busy lawyer, her office a single room detached from the cottage, her clients apparently. coming from all over the state to seek her advice. Sue passed through successive stages of as- tonishment, admiration and de- light as far as these neighbors were concerned. On the other side lived a hum- bler pair: husband and wife who last year had celebrated their |golden wedding anniversary. Their devotion to each other was charming. Sue and Bob both came to adore them. “I love having all this room again!” said Sue on the second Sunday after their arrival. “You must — with half of it empty!” he retorted. “Do we buy more furniture Sue, or do we simply shut up some of the fooms?” > “We compromise. That is, we stretch what we have over the downstairs: front and back par- 1 rs, sitting room, dining room and en. Upstairs, we furnish what we can: three bedrooms probably. | We’ll use the south one for the nursery.” ‘What about getting a maid? I'm going to be away a lot, you know; store keeps open late, even on weekdays. And in your condi- tion— “My condition’s very satisfac- tory, thank you! And I doubt if we could, get a maid here, Bob; we'd probably have to import her from St. Joseph. Anyway, let’s go along as we are.for the present. Thank heaven there’s a furnace! I was afraid with stoves, and your being so busy, we might have to get someone in.” It was on the whole a pleasant winter though Bob worked too hard, and spent too little time at home. Queen City was proud of its one shoestore, and not only patronized it instead of driving to the city for its footgear, but ad- vertised it liberally through the ess fortunate hamlets which had no such store. Business was aod e | and Bob had but one helper. | after this youth had taken inaat Observation taken at 7:30 a. 75th Mer.
