Then, fearing to offend them. "Not too mtch of a one. though; trunks yon know." "What?" drawled Elma, "bar yon got to keep secret?" And when everybody excepting Nory laughed and Ere went scarlet, "You're been reading the scandal sheets, my child. I fancy we'll all array ourselves like the Miles more or less. To begin with, any way, what happens after you re got by the censor Is your own lookout . . . There's folks from Spring Garden coming. Some girl ,and Neil Pierson, the musician. Clever chan." "Clever grandmother!" Chuck grunted. "Musician! Tin Pan Al ley lu. Call things by their names, can't vou?" The crowd dispersed as Chuck and Elma settled down to quarrel. It was nlaln ta tv that domestic ity was wearing thin la the HoDf t household. . : Chucx, it. appears, was growing fired ot tlmi'i rigid domination and neither of them fstin water and a great yellow lot- saw any reason, why their bicker ing should be private. And this was another thing about the Lace which seemed more and nor disagreeable to Eve, that nobody had any decent reservations. They seemed to think it artistic to flaunt their soiled linen, making as much noise orer it as possible. The night of the party was all that Elma could bare wished. Air like velvet, delicious with the or chard scent of spring, heady with magnolia fragrance, spicy with odors, the warm smell of earth. When the setting sun had spread a league-long canopy of rose across the western sky and ansa, was ga thering In purple pools in the val ley. Ken and Eve packed the ham per which held their share of the supper Into the roadster and went about picking up Jan and Clayt and ivr and Pierre, and then fol lowed the trail of Nory's fllwer ud the long drive to Hilltop Chuck and Elma already were there and had a fire started and the flames were very red against Thor had Ken seemed so tnriii the background of scrub pine which trtaged. fast east emt of the Hike. It was a scejusvo peace and beauty; a violet sky polka-dotted with atari repeating itself la the ence of moon growing whiter and brighter as the shadows deepen ed. The quiet seemed to permeate the spirit ot the crowd; everybody spoke softly, going about opening hampers, slicing rolls, putting ba con on a little Iron grill. Eve settled herself beside Ken, slip ping her hand Into his after the supper was over and Pierre and Jan. were singing in a hushed, crooning way while Clayt picked an accompaniment on Fill's uku lele. "How beautiful this is. Ken. Why can't we always be like this all ot us? Like a page out of an old story bok. " "Little Eve" Ken bent down, brushed her temple with his Hps as he used to do in the old days. Nearly a year ago and that time seemed so far away. Yet romance had come back to them tonight; she thought ot this with a little shiver of ecstacy. Not even In those dreamy afternoons of the honey moon under Lakeview elms or strolling through laurels on Mount lngly. gloriously her own. When the last of the light had faded la the west and- 5e desert ed old snsnslQa Vas dark balk la the Moonlight , and the grounds ad scrub pine and eve the lake were scattered with the watte powder of the moon's glow, they went Into the water. And. float ing beside Kea, St smiled at the recollection ot her worries. Bath ing suits ot course. It had been as Elma said, that she listened to wild stories. In a warm content ment she blinked at the stars, wondered it anywhere among all those far away worlds there was another girl as happy as herself.

' (AP) Having flown the Ameri can flag over the south pole and explored its vast realm of cold and Ice, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd recetved today the tribute of the first city to welcome him back to civilization. All day crowds swarmed about his two Ice scarred vessels, the Eleanor Boiling and the City ot New York, which yesterday en tered Dunedln harbor accompan ied by a procession of welcoming vessels. Not only Byrd, but every one of his 41 men who for more than a year braved the hardships and hazards of the Polar regions were warmly greeted by this city of 85,000 which often In the past has sent forth expeditions into the un known region guarded by a great barrier ot ice encompassing moun tains more than 14.000 feet high. Although Byrd continued today to stress other achievements of his expedition, popular fancy clung to hie aerole tlight wit tare ompanidal otr the south pole.

MICKEY MOUSE By IWERKS When the lost the tight had Jaded they went into the water. CHAPTER XXVII. There was a great old mansion, long unoccupied, on the summit ot the hill toward the east, which helped to make the valley in which lay The Lane. It was a regular castle of a house with turrets and spires and high windows which caught the 'last rays of the setting sun and threw them back again, la a blaze Of red as ft the building were all aflame. One reached it by a wind ing, rising drive a half1 mile long. Overgrown with shrubs and grasses. Tpcn rare occasions the tribe packed lunch anr1 held pic nics on the shore ot a tiny lake the owner of Hilltop House had built In some long forgotten day by forming a dam across the same mountain stream which ran through Nory's dooryard. Spring freshets had worn the edges of the lake so now there was a sheet of water a couple ot hundred feet across and a spring board had been put up over the dees end and this would have been a popular spot for all ot Hav rford had it not been so Inacces sible. Elma decided that the first whoonee of the season must be a "nymphing" party at Hilltop pool. Warm weather had come to the hills at last; the whole earth was -bloom and on the night of the second Saturday in May there would be a full moon. They would build a bonfire and broil bacon and roast potatoes over the coals and swim by moonlight and It would be a gallant baek to nature stunt and start the Summer oft as it should be started, with a gay hurrah. Kea was enthralled as always with the prospect of something new but Eve felt misgiving. From Mary and Jimmy she had heard dark hints of the tribe's goings-on at their "nymphing" parties. Ac cording to shocked rumor these afairs did Indeed get back to na ture; so far back as to eliminate pertain little devices at civiliza tion such, for example, as bathing "Pni T V ANT) HER PALS aiva Indeed, the story that the art ist colony habitually bathed un- draped and unashamed had gone so far that the Sunday magazine section ot a New York newspaper bad printed a violently Illustrated page about It, making Innuendo take the place ot the bold state ment and publishing the names and some of the photographs ot the best-known residents of The Lane. And as a result State troop ers had been unpleasantly inter- eted in Hilltop pool and this had prevented revels of any sort dur ing all of last summer. "Those dumb cops won't bother us now," Elma assured everybody. "Not after wasting their time last year. The burgeois mind!" Eve. who had been at great pains to search Nory's dictionary for the meaning of that word "bourgeois" since it was a great favorite of Elma's, had found that it meant 'commonplace," a qual ity scorned above all others by the tribe.
