Lo ve s Awakening of a Steadfast Woman By Adele GarTisss wmmmnmmmnrnananns Harey Is Cortaln That Lillian Decsn't Sespect the Ruse Back of the Schwartsman Telcgram T saw Harry Underwood glance sharply at his wife as she told him of the telegram messenger's 8ppar- ent stupidity. I knew that there was but one question sounding insistent- ly in his brain. Had he succeeded in making the telegram plausible, or did Lilllan suspect the ruse he had employed to leave Marion and her- self together during the remainder of the young girl's vacation? He knew—no ene better—the _keen perccptions and resourceful- ness of his wife. He also knew her power of dissimulation, and 1 guess- ed that it was a vad quarter of a minute instecad of an hour he was putting in, as he stood frowning down at the telegram in his hand. “Anything I can do, old man? Dicky stuck in, in apparent ignor- ance of the whole episode. But 1 was sure that the ‘elegram and its reply had been concocted while the two men were absent upon their un to the village in the forenoon. “No, thank you,” Mr. Underwood replied, “unless you want to come down and stand by me while 1 wreck that telegraph office. That other telegram 1 sent was an im- portant one—Government business, Lil,” he tosesd the words casually in his wife's direction—"and 1 suppose they've got the with this, and think they've deliver- ed the right one. The devit only knows what they'll do with the other answer which will be in code,” He was a magnificent Ananias. 1 told myself, but a trifle weak in his explanation of the procedure in tele- graph offices. However, nobody cared, if only he could be convinced that Lillian believed his fiction. “Then you'd better go down and check up on it immediately,” Lillian said calmly. “Tell me first, is this telegram from Schwartzman as im- perative as it sounds?

The same is true of Mrs Reddy. Just now they felt that they not only didn't have any love for Jimmy but that they hated him Jimmy was badly up: ting their plans. Yes, sir, he was badly upsetting their plans He was interfering. He had gone over and Jjoined Johnny Chuck and Jerry and Mrs Muskrat one or more of whom they had hoped to catch. Now, with Jimmy 8kunk there how could they possibly catch one of the oth- ers? They couldn't and they knew they couldn’t. Mrs Reddy had lost \:: temper and presently Reddy lost Reddy drew nearer. He show: od all his teeth in an ugly snarl have more than half a mind to kill you for this!" he growled. “Try it; do try it,” replied Jimmy Skunk pleasantly, and that big plume of a tail of his stood up al- most straight At the first movement of that tail Reddy backed away hastily. All his courage vanished You see Jimmy Skynk's tail 1s a signal flag, and all the.little pleople of the Green For- st and the Green Meadows know the signals. When it was held as Jimmy was holding it then it was a warning 'to - be - heeded Johnny Chuck laughed right out which of courss_made Reddy more angry than, ever. “ Jimmy had been much surprised to find Jerry and Mrs. Muskrat up there in the carrot-patch, so he in- quired how they happened to be there They told him how they had beea flooded out by the great rain, which had caused the Laughing ‘Brook and the 8miling Pool to over- flow their banks. They told how they had been hungry and how, due 10 the rising water, the nearegt food supply had seemed to be these car- rots “But now we want to get back to the water,” said Jerry. “Well why don't you go?" in- quired Jimmy Jerry looked over at Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy “How can we with those two ready to jump on us?” he protested. Jimmy looked over at Reddy and ‘Mrs Reddy and his usually rather dull eyes twinkled. “I haven't any- thing in particular to do just now.,” sald he. “1 might go your way for a short distance if you don't object to my company Reddy Fox and Mrs. Reddy don’t seem to care for it much Johnny Chuck chuckled. “If you don’t mind I'll go along. to.” said he “Somchow 1 don't fancy being teft behind with Reddy and Mrs. Iieddy in their presegt temper The four of us ought fo have a very pleasant walk. What do you say. Jerry 2" “We'll be tickled to death to have your company, Johnny, and t company of Jimmy Skunk. Shall we start now 2" suid Jerry. The other agreed Jorry and Mrs. Muskrat were in such a hurry that they began to run. Now, Jimmy Skunk almost never runs. He didn't run now. He just ambled hind and Johnny Chuck sta him. Reddy and Mrs Reddy were quick to see this separation of the friends, and they started to cirele around, one on on: side and on on the other. You v, they hoped that Jerry and Mrs Muskrat would gt ®o far ahead that there would be nothing 1o fear from Jimmy Skunk. Johuny Chuck whistled _mharply. Jerry Muskrat heard it and and o did Mrs Muskrat Skunk began to shuffle over answer confused | into the city and stay awhile?™ “I aurely must,” he told her. and I saw that against his cooler judg- ment he was belleving what he wanted to belleve—that Lillian was accepting the telegram without question. “When do yo1 have to start?” “I ought to get out tomorrow. “Count me iu on that, my cab- | bage,” Dicky struck in. “I ought to 0 up to town tomorrow for a week anyway. I'll drive you up in my old bus. I want to lay it up in the service station for a general over- hauling.” The mercury in my mental ther- mometer suddenly rose from the zcro mark to which it had dropped at Dicky's announcement of his de- parture. 1f he were going to lay his car up. he could not be planning the drives with Edith Fairfax, the vision of which had so tormented me. “You'll probably lay both of us up in & hospital of a morgue,” Mr. Underwood growled and Lillian out another quict question. “How long will you be gone?" “I haven't the slightest idea,” her husband told her. “Rut you may count on one thing, I'll sneak time enough away from Benny to get NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, Once Overs back here and drive you and Marion down to her school. But I'll talk to you about that and about your driving the new car when T come back. Come on, Dicky-bird, flap { your wings in the direction of the |car.

(Editor’s Note: This is the fourth of a series of six articles written for the -New Britain Herald and NEA Service by Rosa Ponselle, dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera Company, New York.) (BY ROBA PONSBELLE) There sometimes is a very great mistake made by the young singer which spoils her song’s success, and that is singing a song in & key un- suited to her voice. If a song is even a half tone too low or too high for her the difference it makes is as the difference between day and night. Of course, every song chosen by a singer should lie comfortably in her volce, that is, well within the range she sings at ease. But se- lecting a song in the right key above all others, calls for the very best tones in her voice. Conse- quently, she is heard at best advan- tage. There s not an experienced prima donna before the public but pays heed to thia fact; when she has a cold or does not feel in the best of voice, she takes a slightly lower key; if in brilliant condition she takes a higher one. The chief consideration 8 that the song should be given as well as she can give it in the circumstances ‘There also is another rafeguard to be considered by the young singer in choosing the key of her song. Until she is thoroughly ex- perienced in appearing in publie, the top notes which she barely reaches in private will prove unre- liable when singing to an audience. In the latter case, with so much to distract her attention at the moment, she should not attempt all, but less than she can do. She may, indeed, take risks and get through by chance, but she is more apt to make unfortunate tones that will be unhappily remembered by her and by her listeners. In this case the song fails to “‘go™ because of mnervousness, failure of the accompanist to support her or anxiety coming on her suddenly about those tones of which she is not sure. One such experience should put her on her guard in the future, but she does not want that experience even once. ‘We hear a lot about “hitching your wagon to a gar.” I think there is a better way of getting ahead than that, Set your limit, but not s0 high a one that few can reach it. When you have attained that limit, set a higher one, and so on. There is a tremendous satisfaction in going ahead lise that. I did not take up singing because 1 wanted face, but because I wantetd to sing. Demaocrats, Too Like__Clothes Headquarters Seems the Center of Style. New York, Oct. 12 (#—Women this year, more than ever before perhaps, have entered wholehearted- ly into a national political campaign working side by side with husbands, brothers and sons, and working hard and long. But they're still women— and still love beautiful clothes. Sometimes about democratic na- tional headquarters one will see a slim, fastidious-looking little person who is generally conceded—by wo- men “in the know"—to be one of the best dressed women politiclans in the country. 8he is Mrs. Daniel O'Day, vice chairmun and for a few weeks during the summer chairman of the democratic state committee. It isn't that Mrs. O’'Day has to many changes of costume, but what #he has are suitable and smart. Combintions of black and white she wears mostly and she always carries a fan in her pursc. While another woman might smoke or toy with a handKkerchief, Mrs. O'Day sits ard fans herself. Another well-dressed woman Mrs. Caspar Whitn chairman of the national committece of women working for the eclection of Gover- nor Smith. Mrs. Whitney appeared at democratic headquarters on her return from a trip to the Pacific ceast in a decidedly smart black flat crepe gown, with a silver fox scarf thrown carelessly about her shoul- ders. Miss Gertrude Ely of Bryn Mawr, Pa., affects eports clothes—tailored | tweeds, with bright scarfs, becoming 1o her slimness and her flashing dark eyes. But well dressed though they may be, one seldom hears these women tadking about clothes. They're too busy for that in the women's section of democratic headquarters these days. Three i‘a—r—m—erettes Make Big Ranch Pay Turlock, Cal, Oct. 12 (#—With- out masculine aid, the three Austin sisters, Violet, Lily and May, all of whom are under 19, have plowed, cultivated, planted and harvested the crop on a 100-acre tract which they are paying for near here. Their harvest has included 200 tons of melons, 150 tons of grapes and lesser quantites of fruts and vege- tables. Besides the cultivating and irrgat- ing the three sisters have milked 40 cows twice a day, cared for 10 head of horses, pitched hay and raised 30 acres of Alfalfa, raised chickens and turkeys and done such chores as re- pairing windmill and fences. The three farmeretes took com- plete charge of the ranch when their father was incapacitated for work because of an injury. Jane and Buddy will like their spinach, baked potato and custard much better if they can eat them with a bright red, green, blue or yellow fork and spoon made of a non-tarnish composition.

Industrinl cities all over the countr, cffective methods of combatting sm health and BY JULIA BLANSHARD New York, Oct. 12 (NEA)— Laura C. Cauble might be called America’s foremost smoke-eater. She is not a fire-fighter, however, but an avowed enemy of smoke. She is & sunshine crusader, out to elimi- nate smok from America's cities. Her slogan is “A place in the sun for everyone.” /s From the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico indus- trial cities know this energetic, 8il- ver-haired, - blue-eyed, motherly looking sclentist who appears unex- pectedly. sets up her little smoke- measuring machine and in short order tells city councils, doctors and others just how much dirt, grit and poisonous gases go up their noses and down their throats daily, in the smoky air they hreathe. Sun Ohecks Riscase Bhe tells housewives how much lenger friend husband's shirts would last were the amoke banish- ed. More important, she proves| }oonvmrlngly how much less liable 10 colds, pneumonia, consumption and other chest diseascs little Mary, Sonny and Maud are in cities where ithere is no smoke hazard from un- checked factories. Miss Cauble wasn't born hating smolke. It Is an acquired aversion, “a hate that grows daily because there is no excuse for smoke,” the explained. “Proper fucling can elim- tnate it.” Miss Cauble spent her childhood out in Indiana’s sunshine, riding and playing on her father's farm on the banks of the Wabash. “I loved the sight, of smoke then for it meant a picnie camp fire, a honfire of au tumn Jeaves or a big fire in the Xitchen stove which told us supper ready.” she reminisced. But I lived in Pittsburgh, Chi- cago, Newark and other industrial cities when I got older. I ° found | what thin substance sunshine could Dbe fiitered through smoke that eliminated all its glowing vio- let rays.” she added. Miss Cauble's antipathy to smoke and her cnergetic measures toward smoke abatement are the result of a double exprience. First, when she | was director of household arts at the University of Pittsburgh, short- ly after graduating from Columbia, she set her pupils to figure cleaning | costs in connection with their Ludgets. The costs averaged four times those in citics without indus- trial smoke. Being a scientist, she Irealized the high financial cost smoke is to a community. Second, some years later she con- ,tracted tuberculosis = nursing & \friend. “It was only by leaving smoky citles and spending two years on the plateaus of North Carolina that T regained my health. Since then I have studied the problem and know how cminent health experts everywhere condemn smoke and ad- vocate its abatement,” she ex- plained. Miss Cauble has become the most able consultants in the country on business management and research. She has married an- other scientist who shares her tre- mendous interest in smoke abate- ment. When you visit them in their charming Greenwich Village home, | the chances are that the subject will | turn to smoke in a very short time. I'or Miss Cauble’s avocation—drive |ing smoke out of America—has be- come the greatest interest in her life. Rochester, Buffalo, Utica, Chi- cago, Newark, St. Louis and many. other citics, aroused by her public- spirited attacks on the useless waste of smoke, boast a partial elimina- tion now of the smoke that used to cat up the violet rays of the sun. Organization Fights Smoke For three years Miss Cauble las ed the National Conference Board on Sanitation which works with the boards of health in differ- cnt towns to eliminate smoke. “Food is safeguarded by law now so that any young child can be sent to the store with the knowledge that will receive clean food. But the air we breathe | {has no such protection,” Miss | ' Cauble argued. moke can be climinated and | would be if civic feeling demanded {.
