The May meeting of the Monmouth Parent-Teacher association was well attended Tuesday evening, and featured an interesting pro gram on 'Thrift," as 'the central theme. Mrs. James Gentle pre sided. ano trio by Barbara Ann Cornell, Wanda Ross and Virginia Craven, all from Mrs. Wltherspoon s de partment. Erla Mae Murdock gave a clever costume dance to repre sent the Latin class the junior high. The sixth grade. Miss Gen tle's department, sang a group of songs, and four of the children. Frances Osburn, AHhea Jaynes, Herbert Moreland, Chad Corastock and John Holler, presented an or iginal thrift play which made a bit with their audience. Miss Zepha Boulware was heard in a vocal number. Chamber Speaker Delmer R. Dewey gave a short talk relative to the approaching summer session; after which F. E. Chambers introduced Mr. and i Mrs. H. E. Culley of Portland. Mr. I McCulley of the United States Na tional bank staff was the speaker of the evening, and preceding his talk Mrs. Culley who is widely known as a Cam pf ire girls' leader, sang and demonstrated a number of jolly action songs which her - group of girls amuse themselves with while on camping trips. Mr. Culley, who is an expert on "thrift problems, covered the thrift theme from a wide range of per spective. His definition of thrift: "Thrift is aa intelligent conser vation of time, money and talents, "left no room for the time-worn theory that thrift means merely the saving or hoarding of money. "Every leader of industry began his thrifty habits in his youth; Carnegie for instance saved one tenth of everything he ever made" said Mr. Culley, "and while we should also teach them the enor mous value of initiative and abil ity to take responsibility." Self-Reliance Stressed He stressed the importance of teaching children from their ear liest years to reply upon them selves, to give them tasks of in creasing importance about the home, and constantly train them to take care of themselves, in a fight at a party everywhere. Touching upon the issue of the evening, Mr. Culley was definite in expressing his approval, and disapproval of the school bank sys-. tems used today in various city schools. He believes that estatr lishing a school bank is a matter which should be given the most searching thought, and generously offered his assistance to Mon mouth should the grade schoot authorities decide to install one.

Surely Ralph had had her everywhere. . . Ralph . . . ugly thoughts came crowding worries, fears. . . "Is something the1 matter?" she whispered, and be saw her wide gray eyes, that had been dancing and flecked with golden lights, turn dark and pleading. He pulled himself together. What did it matter anyway? What did anything matter now? The girl with the haunting eyes, and the mouth like a flower was go ing to be Ralph's . . . and why not? . . he had everything else, all the breaks, all the luck, let him take the girl, too: make a clean sweep of it. . . "My hard luck, that's all," he thought. . The orchestra was beginning again. The music flowed into his con sciousness, sweetly, gently at first, gaining in volume, growing wild er, more rhythmic, succumbing tO) the insistent wailing call of the saxophone, the monotonous primi tive beat of the drums ... He met her eyes. "Dance?" She stood up, faintly smiling. She was In his arms. The music throbbed, rushed over them, swept them away. The tables blurred, vanished, the other dan cers had no realty. They were alone, only they two in a mad, magical world. "I think I'm dizzy!" she said brushing a hand over her eyes when the music stopped quite suddenly, and hey were back on earth again, in the middle of a slippery floor. "It's because you're hungry!" he said quickly, taking her arm and guiding her back to the table. "That was a crazy thing to do asking you to dance, when you were so tired " "Oh, but I'm not tired any more," she told him seriously. "All the things I was tired about Value Day Today Open Until 9 p. m. Over ten thousand people will see this advertisement.

Clothlno and hare sort of moved away! "I know," he answered just as seriously. The things he had "been tired about" had moved away, too. He knew they would be waiting for him, waiting to claim him later. Sinister ghosts that couldn't be laid. Well, but them wait . . this was his night . . . .the night he would have left ot remember . . afterward. . .. "We'll have the regular dinner," he told the obsequious waiter, "and bring a special order of thoee big black olives, and U there any thing that you like Daphne?" She said there wasn't, and he breated a sigh of relief. Hte wasn't quite sure there would be enough to meet the bill anyway. Did she have any money in that little red purse of hers? And what would she think if he had, to borrow a dollar or two dollars or five dollars? "What are you laughing about?" she demanded, laying down her soup spoon. "Maybe, I'll tell you later, dance?'' She nodded. Why eat when you can dance, and you're young and the music calls? Other diners watched them but they saw no one, sufficient unto themselves. "Pretty girl, quite an unusual type," a stoutish gour mand in the corner decided, not ing the bloom of her delicately rounded cheek. And a youngish SeeThe Refrigerator Display In Our jam V7ooIon r.liilc woman wrapped in a brilliant Spanish shawl sighed and said. "Look at them. They ought to be put out. They make everyone else look so elderly!" And then so unbelievably soon, that Allan looked at his watch in amazement it was over. Th?y must have eaten their dinner, though neither of them had any dear recollection of it, for they weren't hungry, and tbeir empty black coffee cups were on the table. The waiter presented his bill, and was tipped, and enough , over, thank heaven, for a taxi . home. The crowd had all melted 1 away. The orchestra was leaving. Sleepy waiters leaned against wails, polietly stifling yawns. In the taxi he sat close beside her, so close that he could feel the warmth of her body, so slender and young. He ached to put his arm about her . . . surely that would be all right, even if she did belong to McKevitt? But he was afraid to. Afraid of breaking the spell. The taxi rattled along a cobbled street, bringing them nearer and nearer home. Only a few moments left now, and it would be all over, never to happen again. He strained his eyes in tli darkness, trying to Ree hef ome more trying to impress upon his memory forever every line of her small, wistful face. (To be continued.) Window Otopo i -1
