When asked what he was doing, file farmer said he was driving bis ipigs down to the woods where they could eat acorns and fatten up for market. 'Why, that's not the thing to do," Informed the agriculturist. "The modern way is to build a pen in a yard and earry they acorns to them, ICH save lots of tome." The older Irian looked• at the other for a moment and then in utter dis- gust said; "Why, where time to a pig?" • Mother: "Do you think that Junior will forget all that he learned at col- lege?" Pother: "Well, I hope be forgets P rt of it. ]t still don't see how he ioou1d earn much of a living rowing alp and down a river." Maginot, CHAPTER V SYNOPSIS Attune Ordway, nineteen, is shocked when she realizes that their old friend, David Ellicott, 4s in love With cher beautiful anther, Minor. Anne adores botch; her mother and her father, Francis. One night she and Gar- ay Brooks find. a man making coffee over a fine ;in a meadow--- a charming young man who gives his name only as Charles. After Anne has deft him, Charles, 'thorough a second story window in Anne's house, sees a beautiful woman—not Anne—take isomae- thing from a dressing table. Next Andre morning Ane misses Flier pearls and Garry Brooks suggests• that the stranger took them. Charles is imjuredi in an automobile acci- dent. and turns out to be Charles Patterson, member of an old and 'respected family, in the news be- cause' of his wife's sensational chargee: in ahem divorce suit. Charles is taken to Anne's house, wrlrere Vicky, her companion, nurses ban. Anne, dressing for Betty Lan - vale's party, thought of Charles. She had not been to his, room;, but srhe had read his letter again and again, and as she 'rend, the things her had said had lost their sting. Marion, the maid, was' holding out an ethereal frock of flounced white tulle. "You're like a picture," she said. Anne, Reeking Into the mirror, wished she'- might show herself to Charles. A little later, as she went along the hall, she hesitated. at the door of the guest room. It was open, but a screen had been set in front of it. She peeped around the screen and said, "Hello!"Charles, atone and reading, looked up. "Anne!" "I got your letter." "I shouldn't have written it" "I'm glad you did." , "why" "Because now I shall never believe the things they are saying about you." "Other people beilieve thein." "What do I care about other peo- ple?" She was flaming with her championship of him, andlovetly, He said, "Yon are perfect in that And: now you will go and dunce with Garry?" "Yes. But I shan't marry him." "Good." "Igoing away." "Going away? Where?' "To France. Mother and I." "You are going with y o u r rdotlrer?" Just then Vicky rounded the cor- ner of the screen. "Oh, there you are, Anne! Garry is asking for you_" When she had gone Charles said to Vicky, "She must not go to Franc witch her mother." "What do you mean?" She asked tensely. And she listened, white - faced whole he told her. Elinor, in front of her long mir- ror, was late as usual. But she liked to keep people waiting. • She was wearing blue — a chiffon in a hard clear sapphire that emptha- ,s'ized the color of her eyes. Her beads, her bracelets were of crystal and little slides of crystal fastened the straps of her sapphire slippers.She asked as Vicky came in, "Do you like it?" "Very much." "I got the crystals at a bargain tc-ciiy. Only dowagers ags and spinsters wear real jewelry theme days." Vicky left that pass. ' ""Have you a minute for me, Mrs. Ordway?""I haven't a minute for anyone. Francis is waiting" The maid was holding Elinor's wrap. of hlei and silver brocade. Vicky took it 'from her, ""I'11 look t her. "Why not?" "Because — I know who took them." There was a breathless silent after which Elinor said with. elabor ate carelessness, "Who was it Vicky?" "I .think I must ask you that." Elinor's head went up, ""Wel1�, if you knew, why didn't you tell Francis?" "I preferred to tell you first."y. "Why?" th "So that you might put em back." Elinor reached for her wrap. "Vicky, do ,you know what you are saying? 1 won't stand everything," "I'm not asking you to stand any- thing. I ,am only asking what we can both do about it" It seemed to Elinor's excited imagination as if Vicky, still and, composer ,was tike a mar-blte statue, against wrhich srhe would be shatter- ed- "What can I do?" she asked eullenly- "You can tell .me What you have done with them." "Weil, if you must have it"— Elinor's eyes' did not meet Vicky'sL_ "I took them +thin afternoon to Balti- more. I didmft dare take anything of my own. There's that diplomatic dinner -next week ands Francis would have a fit if I didn't deck myself in all the family jewels, If Francis weren't such a pig I wouldn't be driv- en to do such things, But I had promieer Lucien that money today and I lsadl to get it" "You pawned them?" "Yes." "Have you the ticket?" ..Yes." "Give it to mei," "But what good will that do when I haven't the money?" "How mucin?" • Elinor named a sum that seemed to Vieky astounding, "I've paid all my debts and I bought these. crys- tals." ""And you have none left?" "Not a penny." "Then I music get it from my bank as soon as possible." Eilimror clutched' Vicky's' arm. "You're going to get them back?" ""I'11 do my best." Anne , was having a wonderful time at Betty Lanvale's party. She was young and she loved to dance and men flocked about her.n Ube music stopped the cou- ples began to drift toward the din- ing room. Garry guided Anne through the crowd. There was a hall bo cross before they reached the dining room — a great vatillted hall, hung with tapewtries and por- traits of dead and gone Lanvales. Set out in stone urns were orange trees, 'heavy with fruit, and it was against the background of green' and glossy leaves and golden globes that Anne saw her mother. As Anne came up Elinor said hur- riedly, "I was looking for you, Anne.' David and I are going over to the club with the Dorsays, for bridge. We're fed up. Garry will drive you home." "But, Mother!" "What?" "Oh, nothing," Anne didn't want to go with Garry, but her mother wowl,ln't understands. There really wasn't any reason -except that he'd try to make love to her. And, how could she tell be;r mother that?" Ebin:or opened her bag and took out an envelope. "I want you to 1 give this to Vicky as soon as you get home. Even if she's asleep. I want her to have it tonight." Just then David came up and Elinor went with him, her head Thehigh, her flounces trailing. he book n her mother's eyes and the white - nese of her face bad frightened Anve. What was in that letter to Vicky? When at last she started home with Garry the rain war~ coming down heavily. "Gee," Garry said, "This is some- hing like it, Anne, isn't it?" - the door and got out, and than back to say, "There's water in th engine. It's hopeless to try this to fix e, it in is storm. We'Iliave to wai - until someone corner along." , Vicky waiting up for Anne, wo dente! why she did not come. It was a dreadful night and Vicky was nervous as a cat Save bad; had he interview wl0h Francis who had az lived before midnight to meet th detectives. She had waylaid him i the hall and had asked fon- a few moments alone with him. "It's about Anne's pearls," sh said. "I know Who took them, bu I'd rather not tell you. I wish you'd trust me to get them back and no push the matter farther." "If it were anyone but you Vicky," he Thad said,, "I ' wouldn listen for a moment. But you must thave your reasons, and good ones." "Please," she had implored, "Send the •men away before Anne comes, Say that it was all a rnlstake and that the pearls have been found," "But they are not foume:" "You shall have them tomorrow." He had then dismissed the detec- tives, and, Doming back to Vicky, had talked of other things„ Through it all Vicky realized his thoughts were turning and twisting in dark channels, At lasit he had said, "I spoke to Anne about going with her mother, but I'm not keen about it." "Why net?" "She still needs you. She's just a child." "I know." Vicky was staring into the fire. 1`rancis, leaning forward, had said, "You've been mere than a mother to her, Vicky, and you mustn't de- sert her now." "I'm not dester'ting her, and I have thought of this. If you can spare her, I'll take her Thome with me and we'll .spend Thanksgiving with my people. She needs to be away from Garry—from everything." It had been late when Francis left her, and now Vicky was wait- ing. She went to the telephone and called up trhe Lanvale residence. A servant reported that Miss Ordway had driven away an hour ago with Mr. Brooks'. Mrs. Ordway had gone on. to the club, So that was that. As she won- dered ondered whether she sihould tell Fran- cis there came, suddenly, the sound of a motor. She flung open the door to find Garry stumbling through the storm with Anne in his arms. "She's half frozen," he said. "Who ever heard of .such weather at this time of year? My car stalled and I had to wait until someone came along." Vicky interposed, "Who found you?" "Elinor and, David. Coming back from the club." "Elinor?" Vicky's voice was start- led. "Where is she?" "Out there in the car." But Elinor was not in the car, She was standing in the hall. "Where's David?" Garry asked. "He's gone." She came forward, more like a wraith than a real pres-' ecce. It's an awful night,' she said in a toneless voice. "Has Francis come in? "Yes." 1t was Vicky who an- swered. "Well, I'm going up." Elinor said presently. "You'd better get Anne to bed, Vicky, and send Garry tome." "That sounds as if I were in dis- grace," Garry protested, "and nettli- ng is really my fault. Blame it all on Acne. I asked her to marry me and she wouldn't so I ran the, car off ' the road and asked her all over again." He was trying to carry off the situation lightly, but only , he and Anne knew that there was no light- ness in shim. For in that hour of darkness Anne had definitely defined her position. "I can't marry you, Garry, and I won't." And some- thing remote and resolute in her manner had at last convinced ihim. Yet now when he left her, he lifted hes hand to this lips. "This isn't the end, Anne." But it was said as one who, with his back to the wall, cherished a forlorn• hope. Anne smiled arid then forgot him. "Here's a letter Mother gave me for you, Vicky." She was glad to get. rid of it. Now that her mother was safely at home the letter no longer worried her. , Coat Confined at first to the 100anile stretch of Franco-Germian frontier be- tween the ithi rue and the Moselle, bghting on 1.,...e Western Front Bow seems Unit d..wnt along the whole Length cf the Maginot -Line. Activity is now irvtea-,Qra ail the way along canoe France's famous line of fortifications e from Switzerland to the Channel Southward, too, along the borders of t Switzerland and Italy to the Mediter- raa,n, the French army is watch- -nfully on guard. It is, however, the 200 -mile stretch running northward along the Rhine, ✓ then eastward to the Luxembourg • and Belgian frontiers, which consti- e tutes the kennel of the Maginot Line. It On the map these French forti'frca; 1 tions are generally represented by an uninterrupted lime looking sometrhing e like the photographs of the Great t Wall of China. In fact, however, the Maginot Line is not a solid wall, nor t an u:ni•nterrutpted stretch of defenses. It is an irregular, broken system of concealed forts, machune-gun nests, t artillery emplacements and. tank traps varying ,greatly in depth, and in, char- acter closely designed to accord with the nature of the terrain through which it passes. The real Maginot Line may be said to consist less of the fontifications themselves than of the cotntinuous line of fire which these forts could offer to the enemy along tthe entire 'length of the Ger- man frontier. The sensational, gigantic nature of the underground forts of the Maginot Line has already been fully publiciz- ed. Apparently complete diagrams have been given out with cross sec- tions showing the labyrinth of under- ground railways, lifts for conveying men and munitions to the various gun chambers, the observation; posts, the purl boxes and, tank traps. In fact, the very publicity giv- en to this concept of the forts raises the question of whether, if the Mag- tnbt Line were really like that, the French would have allotted it to be so fully portrayed. The explanatrio'n is, I believe, that this public:ity is a bit of clever win- dow-dressing as the part of the French. There undoubtedly are forts in the Magi'ncrt Line constructed ac- cording to these pians. But the truth is that the secret of the strength of this vast system of frontier fortifica- tions is its extent, its depth and its variety. This variety, derived from that of the country through which it passes, the certain to play an extremely im- portant role in the strategic evolu- tion of e war, th R so happened at I was one of the very few, and certainly one of the bast, foreignobservers to have fo]Iowed the whole Maginot Line from its beginnings' south of B'elfort (op- posite the Swiss frontier)' northward along the Rhine to Strasbourg and beyond, then east along the Rhine- land, the Saar, Luxembourg, and then behind the Belgian border to the sea.In a car particu1 rly well suited to the purpose, and on foot where no car could go, I have followed the lit- tle lanes and strategic roads running sometimes in front of and, sometimes behind the Maginot Line, stopping frequently to talk to bhe poilus sit- ting 'outside their concrete .pill boxes, or in the barbed-wire enclosed "front yards" • of the stets blockhouses or -the bank of the Rhine. As is natural and inevitable in a system of fortifications extenrlin'lg more than 300 'miles, the terrain is enormously varied; and so, in conse- quence, are the strategic problerrr in- volved. In fact, bile essential char- acteristic of the Maginot bine is that everywhere it has been planned and constructed in arcordance with the "lay- of the land." From this viewpoint of terrain, the Maginot Line may be divided into five sections. At its southeastern end, forts are thickly, sprinkled along the crest. of the little range of hills fac- ing what in French terminology is called the Gap de Bel•fort. It is here that the German troops wwuld em- erge if they attempted to invade France via Switzerland. One is accustomed to think of Swit- zerland as so completely filled with the 'high peaks of the Alps that only an army of skiers or mountain climb- ers could 'hope to invade or traverse it. But the tact is that the extreme western point or edge of Switzerland omelets of country wh.lch, though 1011y, is by no means impassable ev- en for modern motorized troops; and although valleys and pawsres are more easily defended than would be flat• country againet such a •sudriten inva• sten, neverbh'eless the French multiary authorities have acknowledged and prepared .for the possibility that GGer- many might try to sweep into France across this Swiss corner and through ii; tl t ?dg true .lifoi't Garp, The. fioi ,bi+eat�{o,Dt4= on lire rolling hills 'la tido .

The story Might not be the same, however, if Italy, too, were to attack simultaneously. through southern Switzerland as well as along the Italo-French frontier,secondFurther, north, the second sector comprises the forests along the banks of the Rhine. For the .most pant bhie country is, Etat, although there aire rolling hills farther to the where here French heavy artillery is .carefully sheltered and concealed. The Rhine, itself is an effective but, of course, by no means impassablebarrier. It varies, in width from, 190 to 900 yard's. The. French have re- cently . blown up the bridiges over it. It could easily be crossed in either direction by an enemy left free to rebuild the necessary . pontoon bridges. But this, of course, would imply that artillery and machine-gun posts, wthuch, on the French side at creast are so disposed as to cover with their fire every yard of both banks of the Rhine, had previously-- been destroyed or put out of action no easy task. tr'-'Furthermore, for the greater part of the 80 -mile tutretth of the Rhine be- tween, Huvringue and Strasbourg huge concrete and steel blockhouses, equip- ped not only with machine guns but with rapid -firing cannon, stand omin- cu,ely on the very edge of the river at intervals ranging from 50 yards to 300 yards. It is a strange experience, indeed, to pass through these oak -timbered Alsatian villages, where peasants plow• their fields behind slow -stalk- ing cows, and where in spring storks circle in the blue sky or settle on the chimney tops. A clump of blos- soming cherry trees may conceal a heavy gun, and a grassy mound is very likely to turn out to be a cam- ouflaged and half -buried blockhouse. J' orth or Strasbourg the foothills of the Vosges Mountains flattest out gra- dually to a great marshy plain which formas the apex of the triangle where the Franco-Geranan frontier, after wandering northeast, turns suddenly toward the west at Lauterbourg. Here the Maginot Line prudently remains! well back from the border, thus avoiding pronounced salient 'Which might be too easily attacked from, j two sides by a pincers movement. Actually, however, the swampy nature of the country at this point nentders' it relatively easy to defend, especial- ly against motorized columns. It is further west, therefore, at Lembach and Bitche, that an attack is more likely, and in consequence the Mag- inot Line ie at this point heaviest. 1 This is no longer picturesque Al- sace, but gray, bleak Lorraine.• Here again the land is rolling or hilly. For much of its length the Maginot Line is well tucked away in the forests of pine and cedar that Dover the ridges and valleys.

What might be called the fourth section continues westward behind Luxem- bourg and the Belgian frontier for anotfher hundred miles or more. Here, however, the Line is defin- itely lighter. .At first, in fact—up to four or five years ago—'the fortitca tions behind Belgium consisted: of little more thane a scattering of "p111 boxes" with occas'iamel em11►lacements for heavy art'illeiq. However, the Belgian Governm'en't soon made it plain to France that it resented this "invitation to the Germans to invade Belgium again," and accordingly the French undertook to strengthen this part of the Maginot Line. Even so, tkere is no attempt to deny that the fortifications, along the borders of . Luxembourg and Belgium are not comtpar'abi'e in strength- to the under- ground embattlements along the Ger- mann frontier. ,The fifthh and final sector of the Line appears on the miap to run right into the sea In, fact, ,this flat corner of Flanders could in an emergency be flooded just as parts of the Neth- erlands cam be flooded, and the French depend largely for its defense upon this fact. Nevertheless, there are a number of heavily fortified points stretching from a position north of Lille almost to the Channel. Perhaps the most accurate image of the Maginot Line camp be obtained by picturing a great battle fleet, con- sisting of small scouting ships and sub chasers as well as. cruisers and buieme batitleipmagine .thisshis, great navy drawn up in battle line along the whole north- ern and no'rtheestern. frontier of France, with its heaviest ships cen- tered in the region between Luxem- bourg and the Rhine. Then imagine them suddenly sunk in the earth with only observation posts and gun tur- rets projecting. Add .to this, under- ground corridors of communication between many of the ships, as well as subterranean supply lines, and you. have a rou'gih idea of what the Mag- inot Line is like. From my tour I returned convinced that these great fortifications, if they were not im- pregnable, were as nearly so as hu- man ingenuity could devise. C[beSNAPSOJ GUILD PICTURES IN THE MIRROR ' Mirror pictures" are fun. For simplicity in focusing, place your subjects as close to the mirror as possible. It's also best to use a small lens opening. TAKING reflection pictures, with the aid of a mirrer, is an amus- ing camera pastime ...and you can obtain many novel effects, quite simply. For simplicity, place your sub- jects quite close to the mirror, as in the picture above. Then simply focus for the distance between cam- era and mirror, and shoot. Provide enough light so you can use a small lens opening. If the subject is farther away from the mirror, you most make cer- tain allowances in focusing. Just remember that the reflection lies beyond the mirror. For example, if your subject, stands twofeet in front of the mirror, the reflection is two feet back of the silver surface. In such a case, it is best to focus for a point about midway between the the subject and mirror; then use a very small lens opening. Either light from amateur flood bulbs or flash bulbs can be used in taking mirror pictures, and in some cases, daylight can be used. Flood bulbs are probably best for yon first mirror pictures. They are sim- ple to adjust, and cap. be used in inexpensive cardboard reflectors. In taking the pictures, be sure the bulbs are propfey shielded, so that direct light doe not shine on the camera lens. Wall mirrors are not the only ones that can be used for these shots, If you have a large tray with a mirror bottom, picture someone carrying it—a.nd choose a camera angle that also includes the sub- ject's reflection. Too, if you happen to ha'he in your borne a dressing - table with three mirrors, you can adjust them to pick up multiple re- flections of a subject. Here's another idea for some fun. If you `have an old mirror, with a frame resembling an old-fashioned picture frame, use it to create some "period portraits." For example, make up a subject in comic side - whiskers, therepose him where you can pick up just his reflection framed in the mirror—not showing the subject himself. This is a good idea to keep in mind for a camera party this winter. Those suggestions are good for a start—now cook up some mirror ideas of your •own, That's the real fun of "doing it with mirrors" -•--and it's surprising what you actually can tlo. 257 John van Guilder tet t 'k] :r.
