MONMOUTH, May
17. 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.

sick?"
Surely this was just "a line,"
surely she had been here, or other
places like it before! 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

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

"Look at them. They ought to
be put out. They make everyone

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

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.
