CHAPTER VI SYNOPSIS Anne Ordway, nineteen, is -shocked when she realizes that their old friend, David Ellicott, is in love with her beautiful mother, Elinor. Annie adores both her mother and her father, Francis. One night she and Gar- ry Brooks find a man making coffee over a. fine in a meadow. Laten this stranger sees some- body through a second, story win- dow in Anne's house take some- thing from a idnessing table. Next morning Anne's pearls ane gone and Garry suggeste that this young man may have taken them. He proves to be Charles Patterson, whose wife, Margot, is ,bringing sensational divorce charges against him. Te tells Vicky, Anne's companion, while recuperating [nem an injury at Anne's house, that he believes he saw Elinor take the pearls. Accused by Vicky, Elinor admits her guilt. Vicky premises to get the pearls from the pawnbroker where Elinor has taken them and reateuades Francis not to investi- gate. Elinor had written: "I am oiling away—t-tonigb.t—with David. I can't face Francis, so I'm not coming back. The pawn 'tickets and the key are in my desk. Some day I'll send you the money? You will look after Anne, Vicky? I'ra not sorry—except about Anne. I love her." Vicky stood in the middle of the floor and wondered what had hap- pened. For Elinor had not gone. Shen was in her room at that very moment. Then why had she written that letter? The next morning Elinor made, tort Sxpianiatilion. 9'David wouldn't go," she said, "when it came to the final decision. He (says that he wants to take me hontestly, and that I must tell Francis. So I came ,back and now I'vsi got to face it." "You mean you're going through with it?" "Bute -Anne?" "She will have to know." "B3ave you thought what it will do to her?" Vicky demandiedi. "She must take her turn," • said Elinor darkly, "at finding the world as it is. But I don't' want to think of Anne. I want to think of myself. Whrat did Francis say about the peanis?" "He is leaving everything to me. I am going to Baltimore this morn- ing." "Does he sespect?" "How can, I tell?" There was, a !hint of impatience in 'Vicky's voice. "I told him nothing." Elinor made an unexpected apol- ogy. "I don't 'know what made me do it. But I was drinrea." Vickyi.d inexorably, "If you go 71,7 with Davi what then?" "I want thappiness." Elinor rose and moved about restlessly. "I want happiness and I am going to have it." , , Vicky flamed, "Perhaps you call It happiness bo spoil, the life of a child Like Anne, But I am not here to criticize you. All* I ask is that you take time to think what you are doing." "I don't want to think. I ant go- ing to tell everything to Francis to- night And that will be the end of it." "It will not be the end. It will be the beginning." "The beginning of what?" "Of chaos for all of me" But Elinor -would not listen, and 'when Vicky left at last for Balti- more it was with fear clutching at her heart. She hated satte whole thing, for she had tad no experi- ewe with .pawnshops but, having accomplished her errand, she re- turned after luncheon and took the pearls at once to Elinor. Elinor, vastly relieve, d, said, "You have been wonderful, Vicky. I'll see that ytou get your money back when Francis gives me my allowance." some evil spirit had whisked- there away and put them back again." Anne was philosophical. "Well, anyhow, Ian glad they weren't eta - en." And Charies, with a vision upon him Of that thief in rose - color, changed the subject. "I'm leaving tomorrow," he told Vicky. "Qh, surely not!" "Yes. I muse not impose too long on your hospitality." Anne Said, "You're not imposing. Is he, Vicky?" "No. There's a perfectly good week -end ahead of you, Mr. Patter- i son. Why not spend it with us?" • His smiling eyes, went from Vicky ' to Anne. "I'lmn afnaid." Anne demanded, "Of what?" "Of you." "Of me?" "Yes. When you came to me in that moonlit meadow, it did some- thing to me"' Color flamed in, her Cheeks. "If you- really meant. that, it would be nice." "Nice? Isn't there a for it than that?' "What word?", "Heavenly." Vicky interposed, "Am I supposed to be listening?" "Of course." "Then I might suggest that this' is rather strong wine for Armes little head." Charles laughed and Anne laugh- ed with him. It was all very' light- hearted and on the surface but Anne, dressing that night for din ner, looked( starry-eyed into her mirror. Did he, she wondered, mean it? But be couldn't. He was married. Sheralid not see him alone again, but wthen the next morning he had gone she found a note on Ler dresser: bigger word •"This is my real good-bye, niy dear. I shall not see you again. I am tarred with a brusth which must not smirch you. But at night when I sleep under the stars I shall look up and see you shining, too far away for me to reach, but giving always a lovely light." With her heart beating wildly she went to bed. What did it matter, She asked . herself, if he were mar- ried? He would worship afar '.off. Like Dante and ,Beatrice. It would be wonderful to think of Charles as Dante. To Anne, dressing for a ride on the .morning after Charles' depar- ture, was brought a message from her mother. 5/he was to come at once to the library. Hurrying down, nsthe found' both of her parents waiting. She kissed her father, then her mother. "Why did you get up so early, darling?" "I've been up all night," Elinor was lighting a cigarette and her hand tromnledt "Anne, we have something to tell you." The fears that had assailed Anne in the garden, swept hack upon her. She looked from her mother to her father. "What is it, Daddy?" When Francis had spoken Anne stood very still, the color drained from her face. For the thing that her father told her was this — that he and his wife would no longer live ,bagether. "Do you mean there's tok)be a dirorce, Daddy?" "Yes" Elinor interposed, "We' may as well tell her the truth, Francis." He lifted is hand i mp a ti ently. "Why weigh ther down with it?" "She'll !have to know sometime. It's this way, Anne. I've found someone else. What has ha p petted has happened But I won't take all the blame. Your father is no better than I"—venomousty—"only be has not been quite honest about it." "It's true, my darling," Francis said tastily. "Our world isn't your "world. But We love you." Anne, frozen with horror, man- aged to say, "I thought when people married it was—forever." Out of a dead silence Francis said, rir thought when people married it wag—forever," ,t1 "How will you explain it all to A-nete?" "I wish you'd do it. Tell her you found them in au unexpected place." Vicky was grim. "It was unex- pected all right, so I ethane be Later Vicky played out the little farce, with Charles aiding and abet- ting her. She found Anne in. his room reading aloud, and as she dis- played the •length of glimmering whiteness Anne suld, "Oh, Vicky, where in the world did you find them?" "In an unexpected piece." "It often happens that way," said Charles. "One looks and looks and then maidenly things turn up as if "Dotal judge us too, harshly." "I'm not judging." He was titand- Ogg close to her and she turned and hid her face against this sihoulder. When at last she raised her head it was to ask with a note of des. peration, "What are you going to do about me?" Elinor hesitated. "We had thought you miebt like to go away with Vicky for a time and make up your mind about—use' "Make up my mind?" "Yes. Whether you will live with me until I get my' divorce? Or go with your father? He insists upon my staying here until everything 19 settled." AlumIt mailed in, that mo - Meat as ilf her father and mother had reteeded from the foreground of her life where she bad alrynnys placed them, to some dark regton Where her airidnd could net WSW. She murmured' unsteadily, "I 'love you both and now I've got to give you up." Her father said sharply, "Give us "Yea, When I go vdell Vicky I sheet come back. I shan't come back --ever." As she went away Elinor and Francis stared at each other. This. was what they had doae! This was their punisthment; that the daughter whom they adored would, have none of them. Yet when, the moment of separa- tion caine, Anne wept in Francais' arms and! clung to her mother. "can't we all go' back," she wailed, "just as we wore? Can't we?" And Francis said; "Can't we, Elinor?" "No. Not e'en for her sake." So Awesaid farewell to all the happy things which had belonged to her girlhood and went by motor to the , Eastern Shore. Mere, in a long low rumbling fairnehouee, lived Vicky's parents with their three daughters. There were itwo sons; older than Vicky, married, w i farms of their own and with ehil- dren growing np about them When they were all assembled at the Hewitt homestead. Jelin Hewitt, the father, seemed a patriarch) among them. It was a warm and comfortable household. Mrs. Hewitt, plump and for it. L , Id Maryland stock, she pretty, t, red her family and lived carried Vne the tradition of expert housekeeping and epicurean cook- ery. Her three daughters—Lettice, Lois and Mary Lee — were neither plump nor pretty. They had, indeed, more than mere prettiness. Their hair was bright and their teeth were white, and their skins tanned by sun and wind. Lettice, the oldest, was engaged to a young engineer at work nearby on a government project. They 'would be Married as soon as Lettioe wound pp certain natters of business for her father. Lettice kept the books and handled correspondence; Lois managed the stables and barns and Mary Lee, the youngest, raised ducklings and squabs for the market. The contnast between life on, the farra—so warm, so flowing, so flexi- ble — and the artificialities from which she Lad come, seemed to Anne amazing. Why couldn't all families be like this? ° ten- sion, Flrenciie surface composure with, a violcano Tybirnerberueallii, glitter and brittleness of people like the Dorsey& Were they not all pup- pets pulled by a string? "What makes, the difference?" she demanded of Vicky. "Well , pe baps it's because my family believes iln, things," Vicky said. "Your people don't. They live for sensaticrns. For excitements." "I shall never go back," Anne de- clared Vicky wrote to Francis: "Let her alone for a time. You are a part of something that has hurt her dreadfully. But she loves you and misses you. Be very sure of that. It was her love that made the truth so painful." (Continued Next Week) LIFE ON A CHINESE JUNK More than a score of small junks, each constituting a floating home, cluster about our ship as we anchor in the enelosed (harbor. Their peo- ple clamber with; money -like agility up our side's, generally aided by long bamboo poles with iron gripe at the end, to fit into ringbolts and, eye- holes or even to hook over the ship's ,side. In just such fashion, Malay a n d Chinese pimates sometimes boardedbielplesa tea-clippers in the era of tho sailing ships. But these clamorous junkmen are quite frendly, though occasionally differing vociferously with one an- other. For they are either peddlers, beggars, or "touts" for native hotels. They are pursuing our Asiatic pas- sengers, and by sheer force and noise struggle to 'secure their patrons. Ev- en their piratic forebears could scarcely have created a greater tu- mult, but that is due to keenness of competition. You note that junk prprietons are mostly women and that a man, pre- sumably the husband, more or less approximates the first mate and occu- pies that officer's usual pbstition on the bow. The women, who steers and directs alit operations., generally has an infant attacked to her back; nor does the nloday activity and per- petual motion: of the parent seem, in the least to disturb its placid slum- bers. The members of the junk family rarely go ashore, tying nip at night wherever they may be, perhaps an- choiing In some quiet nook of the big harbor. Scores of other junks and sampans are near by, and the floating world is a little one all its own. The endless 'talk and idle gos- sip, so dear to the humbler class, of Asiatic, is sufficient aversion. Curi- ously enough, you rarely see anybody asleep, except of course the infants; and the arrival of am overseas, sthip, at any hour of the night or day, ftndla he junk folk immediately "on the job." Closer scrutiny, though, would probably discover people deep in) slumber, down in the sihallow cab- in in the midet• of all the tumult and, the shouting. For the Chhiese seems able to sleep at will, wheretrer and whenever the opportunity.

Milk -Borne Enteric In 1373, there was a sudden and re- markable interease in the number of cases of enteric (typhoid) fever in petits of West London Investigation allowed .t.that 26 of the 28 households invalived obtained their ,mehlt from a contain dairy, the proprietor of which had recently died of typhoid fever. Prasteurization was mot in use at the time, Milk -Borne Scarlet Fever • NO 'lie* than five milk -borne epi- ,demics of soartlet fever occurred' be- tween 1880 and 1887, in, respectively, Halifax, Eng., Durhiant, the St. Giles, Hendon, Wimbledon, Merton and St. Pancras areas of London. London and tits suburbs had an epi- demic of diphtheria in 1913-14, the cause of which was traced to milk. As the author remarks, "this out- break ,affortle a good inseam* of the benefutis. of pasteurization of milk in rotting remit a very widespread epi- demic." Between the first of November and the third of January, there were 119 diphtheria cases from. "94 households all o•f which were supplied from a sin- gle dairy. Pasteunizatieai of the milk of this, dairy was begun on January 121bh, after Which there was a rapid decline in the rameher of oases. Four of the megultar hands, and one odd man were found to be diphtheria car- riers. In 1908 and 1909 there was a milk - borne epidemic of enteric at Llan- dudno amid, Conway and in Charley, Lancashire, in 1924, and in Hertford- shire, there were epidemics of par- atypheid fever which were transmit- ted by milk. , In 1929, Brighten and Hove had, ov- er a thoushnd; cases of "sore throat" With 63 deaths. Examination of throat srwabe Showed that these cas- es were not difietheinia. They prov- ed to be etreptocorecti, sore throat. The suspected dairy did not pasteurize its milk.

So, when a manufacturer spends .$50,000 a year on press advertising, it can be assumed that the total annual sales of his product amount to from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. Now, if you are stocking a nationally -advertised product—advertised in big -city dailies and in nationally - circulated magazines, you have a right to see this product also being locally advertised—in this newspaper. Your total annual sales of the maker's product, joined to those of its other local distributors (if there are others), en- title you to demand that the product be locally advertis- ed in this newspaper. Clearly, it is not right that you should be required to promote the sale of a product in the territory served by this newspaper, without receiving from the manufactur- er the same kind and degree of sales assistance which he is giving retailers resident in cities where he is spending a lot of money on local advertising. Quite too often manufacturers don't advertise in lo- cal weekly newspapers, saying the city paper is used. They forget, however, that their sales in towns served by weekly newspapers provide an advertising fund which should be spent locally. Why should the contributions from local sales to the maker's advertising fund be spent outside the local sales territory? You've got a first-class case to put before manufac- turers who want you to stick and push the sales of their product, then why not present it, either direct, or through the maker's representative when he calls? (N.B.—Cut out this advertisement and show it to the representative of firms whose products you are asked to stock and push).
