And people passing turned to look and smile at the young couple so obvior in love. Next day when he -got home he had told his mother about giv- ing Freda the ring. “Oh, darling, I’m so glad!” She had stood on tipce then and kissed her tall, handsome son. His mother and Toni Baring- ton had been girlhood fri Only Toni had been rich even then, as the only daughter of the owners of a prosperous glass fac- tory at Shirley, Indiana. His mother liked Freda. ... “Who is she, Jerry?” Freda’s voice penetrated his thoughts. “Her name is Pamela.” Jerry hesitated, as if realizing for the first time that he knew little more about her than just her name. “And she’s the sweetest, loveli est thing in the world!” Freda finished for him, laughing. “Well, I suppose there are times when that’s all a man needs know about a girl” Dinner For Two H= voice was light, but her eyes were on him with more than a casual glance. “You haven't said a word to me, Jerry,’ she continued. “You haven't even noticed the dress that I put on purposely for you. Mather made me buy it because she said you'd like it. Can't you put yourself out a little and say something nice to a girl onee ina while?” Jerry looked at her then, Freda was beautiful in a sleek, smooth way. She was always drathatic as to dress. 2 “You're magnificent tonight, Freda,” he said obediently. 2 “There! That's much better! she smiled. “And now aren’t you going to ask me to dance? “Of course, Freda.” They danced. Then Jerty was back beside Pam, claiming her from the little group of young men milling about her. He insisted upon dinner at the hotel. “You owe me that,” he urged when Pam suggested home, “for all the time I've let you spend with these other fellows.” Pam said then she must tele- hone Melita.

It was available at exclusive stores in little jars, in pretty bottles, in dresses an@ gadgets that bore names representative of class and distinction. It was purely and wholly of the exterior. And it deft him cold. While Pam—he dared look for an instant at her lovely young fase beside him, dream-swept, exalted, her soft brown eyes and gently tanned skin, a startlingly lovely note against the gold of her hair. Her beauty was real: Something deep from within. Like a burning stegdily. Like a candle lighted in a cot- tage window. Her beauty was real and natural. It had nothing to do with things handed over the counters of shops. They reached Pam's home, with its lawns and garden much larger than most of its neighbors and its chimney that rose from a spacious fireplace. spite of Lenore’s cruel remarks. As a family, the Quellertons had always made a point of trying ta bg unpleasant things Pam still kept to that philosophy. It had been one of the happiest eve- nings she had known since she had been alone. The thought frightened her because Jerry was, after all, a winter man. She must dismiss him quickly. | .

Pam drew back, hurt and con- fused. 7 “Don’t look at me like that, Pam,” he said. “I mean so much that I can’t say now.

Leech, who posted 26 touch- downs for V.M.I. in 1920. Jackie thinks he won't score so many touchdowns this, his last, year at Marshall. He lists two major reasons: “Our schedule is tougher and they probably will be ganging up on me a little bit this year”.

In one weekend, news reports} chronicled that: | Richard Janes, 25, hunting’ grouse on the American side of the border, was attacked by a, large buck deer. Janes stooped to pick up a bird he had just shot. |He whirled in time to see the buck charge but too late to de- fend himself. Janes grabbed the beast’s horns and screamed for help. His brother, Frank, trying to end the death struggle, fired at the deer, killing it, but the ;charge sprayed Janes. He was badly gored and wounded by shot in the head and hand, img through dense woods at night with Lloyd Dawley when a lynx leaped upon Dickenson. which scampered away. His heavy clothing spared his body _ from the cat's long claws. Another pop-eyed person was 19-year-old Richard Koehler, Chi- p80, bay scoutmaster and labora- tery technician. Koehler, on an} | ineredible_}2-week, 500-mile solo cance trip in the wilderness areas, related how he saw a wild- life tragedy. of the first magni-| tude. His canoe slid silently along a narrow connecting river when a huge timber wolf raced up to a deer and killed it by seizing its throat.
