The additional tax if the act is made a law is to be used for the reconstruction and maintenance of the state highways. The money would be apent under the authorization of the state board of roads. $300,000 would be realized from this increase in tax- ation. An amendment was made to the! act whereby the unimproved portions of the highways between improved sctions would be given the first at- tention.

I called up my old friend Carol Nodine on the long distance phone, and, as the English say “proposed myself” for a week end visit. “How would it do for me to run out to Brownhurst Friday?” I asked, after she had said that she would-be glad to see me. “The oniy ‘thing is that Tom and T have an engagement for Friday even- ing,” she answered a little doubtfully. “Our village club gives its annual ball that night, and we simply have to go, for Tom is cne of the floor committee, and I'm hostess. “Pm not seriously opposed to danc- ing,” T said laughing. “No, I know you aren’t, but the diffi- s case birds of | Fresh Caught HADDOCK Steak BLUEFISH, Ib. 10c Steak HALIBUT, Ib. 12%%¢ Steak CODFISH, Ib.. . 10c Boston BLUEFISH, Ib.

It would be. stupid for you to go with Tom and me, for there will be no unattached men for you." “I might provide an escort for my- self. You know what an old dear I'm sure he'd be be all rizht, T .’ ‘she replied and I immediately telephoned Arthur, who accepted with pleasing enthusiasm. When Carol met us at the train I knew af once that she had not at her home. ng for me of you to come out early, him must’ come right up to the house have a cup of tea with Lucile and me. Marbe we can drag Tom out of his hop. Indeed, he'll have to help erve tea, for I have the maid! She's a nice little t has never done housework. Lucile, that the - lkely to run very you're here, but I'm just training her.” “Oh. I shan’t -nd in the least, Carol, dear. One doesn’t come to the country to be pampered by service.

When we rose from.the dinner table, Carol remarked that she and Tom had to go to the ballroom early. “Do you think you and Arthur can find your Way over to the club later, Lucile? Yes, certainly,” I answered, and I haq only just begun to dress when I heard the Nodines leave the house. I was horrified to discover when T took my dancing frock out of the suif- case that it was simply a mass of wrinkles.. My first thought was to have it pressed, but I remembered what Carol had told me of her maid, so, of course, I did not dare trust it to her. Moreover, as Cousin Fannie is such a wonderful presser and does it so easi- 1y, I have had no experience myself. I did not know what to do. But there Wwas one thing certain—I could not ap- pear in that corrugated costume. Why, that would agreed Arthur. skilled I am in While I was pondering, 1 happened to open the dcor of the closet of my room, and in there I beheld what I knew must be an evening gown, though it was carefully protector. I took a peep and saw that it .was a pink crepe. In about two minutes I had tried it on, and, to my delight, it fitted beautifully and was_extremely & ning. You're a ros dream,” Arthur, when I descendcd to the floor cr t y p over my arm. “That pink is just right for you St course 1 was Iad then that I had not been able to wear my white frock. Put when Arthur and I entered the ballroom and approached the receiv- ing line, of which Carol was at the head, I saw her look at me with such blazing eyes that I began to fear she not the generous, open-handed creature I had always thought her. I made some licht remark about havin to help myself In an emergency, but she made no reply as she touched my outstreached hand with icy fingers. As soon as the first hesitation waltz was over I went to her and said T was awfully sorry if she were annoyed at my borrowing her pretty littla zown, but that I didn’t know what else to do. “That dress was speclally designed and made for me to wear as matron of honor at Tom's sister’s wedding next week, tow: m She was so frigidly molite to me all the evening that I decided it would be no pleasure to stay over Sunday, and I quietly determined to get up and 8o home on the early train with Arthur. He was surprised when he found me rnstalrs, coated hatted and gloved the next morning. “How’s this, Lucile? You don't mean that you're going back to town now, t00?" Yes,” I said, “T've thpught of some- thing I must do at home. I've left a note for Carol, for I didn't wish to aisturb her morninz nap. She mnst be very tired.

The unprecedented Easter eve snow- storm-came just in time to cause a slight drop in the ege production in the twenty-second week of the laying contest at Storrs. The birds laid a total of 3947 or 79 eggs less than for the preceding week. In spite of the fact that all windows, curtains and doors were kept closed during the day of the storm many of the houses came through with two or three bushels of snow in them, all of which means of course an uninviting condition for the hens and extra work for the manage- ment as it has seemed necessary to clean out the dmamp litter and put in fresh straw for scratching material. Doubtless many New England poul- trymen and theiy hens suffered -sim- flar inconveniences.
