Leisure SYNOPSIS Gilbert Windon had been in love with lovely Denise Rendale from the moment he met her but she had eyes for no one except Keith Sheldie, handsome young playboy. However, Keith and Denise break up when the irresponsible Keith does not offer to marry Denise upon learning of her father's finan cial ruin. Keith frankly explained that he was solely dependent upon his wealthy father, and to marry meant being disinherited. Despite the fact that she is bored and unhappy, Denise's sister. Felicia, suggests that Denise marry "money immediately as she herself had done. The latter loved the late Duane Fenton but married the unexciting, though reliable Eustace Gardiner Dayne when Duane failed her. Denise accepts Gilbert on condition that the marriage be a formal one and, if at the end of a year she is not happy, he will free her- Keith does not believe she will go through with it. He resented his father's stern dominance of his life which prevented him from doing as he pleased.. Keith's mother had run away with her mosic teacher when Keith was only a year old and had died shortly after. Since then, his father took his hurt out on the boy, bending him to his will. At first Keith endured his father's treat ment for loyalty's sake but later because of the money he would inherit. Denise and Gilbert are to be married the week before Thanksgiving. The. days passed quickly, Denise thought, but yet were empty, rive days before her wedding-day she receives a note from Keith asking her to meet him. She does, and now when it is too late, he proposes. Much as she loves him, Denise rejects Keith, and as he leaves her he says, "Noth ing is forever nowadays. Ill wait for yon. As Denise dressed for her wedding, those words kept re peating themselves in her mind. CHAPTER XI Felicia looked at hr diamond wrist-watch. "Plenty oi time, still. I told Father to come back at five of, to take you downstairs. Do you mind having such a little wedding? Mine - was so huge." "I shouldn't like a big one." "Well " "You're more nervous than. I am, Felicia." "I noticed." . ."Your dress is lovely." ' It was apple-green velvet, and did suit Fe licia's clear pallor and brilliant hair sunerbiy. - "No one will notice anyone but you." Denise didn't answer." "Nothing nowadays is forever," and "Nothing nowadays is forever, and "Nothing nowadays is forever," was beating , through her temples as if her heart itself was Dealing to that one re- f fram. '- - Felicia said suddenly: "Darling, I do want you to be happy," as if she were pleading. - "Ill be all riirht, I expect." "Gilbert is truly a first-rate per son, u I know anything about men; and I do know rather a lot." "Sounds like a recommendation for a butler first-rate person." . "Denise. don't be bard, don't be mocking, don't be like me. Iler sis- cer s voice was serious as iu.se nu - never heard it. "Make up your mind to make a tremendous success of this marriage. Oh, I know, I meant to say nothing, to be careiuiiy urn in trusive; but it's too important. Re member how most American noveia end with the wedding-day. and most Continental ones begin with it! Well, have the Continental attitude, that the only Interesting and significant part of your life begins today, that the rest was just a minor rehearsal." As if she were speaking from a lonff way off, Denise heard her words. She was to remember them. But now, louder more insistent. Diver Shoys How Bridge "Brodie" While doctors battled to save Ray.

The sound came up the stairway very softly. Felicia said: "There we are. And here's Father, and your bou quet. Ill arrange your train at the top of the stairs." I Denise stood up. took her t ather s arm, took her bouquet. At the stair head, Felicia preceded her. The mu sic swelled and rose, clearer and clearer, an all-pervading sound finally, its cadences blotting out any other refrain in the mind. . Step by step she went downstairs and through the hall. Gilbert Win don was waiting, looking up at her. Beyond that small sea of faces of family friends, of relatives of Eus tace's, of her own school friends, his face stood out. with the most - -Mm rr Denise was standing beside Gilbert. He was taking her hand. troubling look of radiance, of eonfi ueiice, upon ib . Then she was standing beside him. He was taking her hand. She did not look at his face any more, but at the familiar countenance of the minister who had married her father and her mother. . Gilbert Windon sat in the crowded lounge of Grosvenor House, sur rounded by high-voiced Britishers drinking tea, on a Sunday afternoon in the spring of 1935. He was wait ing for Denise to return from a call on a school acquaintance who hap pened to be in London at another hotel. ' , ; ; j f ... .. i - . 4 , Something might have been de duced by an acute observer as to the relationship-' between Gilbert Win don and his wife by the fact that he was invariably early for their ap pointments, and she was always conscientiously punctual, i ; r . He was early now, so that he had unwanted leisure to think of her who still summed up all his dreams, though through her he had received the gravest disappointment of his life. ." - .'- Six months of the year oi mar riage he'd asked for were done. He had had Denise's invariably amiable companionship through all the coun tries of the Mediterranean, through Dallas and Newberg Win Volley Ball Tournament INDEPENDENCE, March 27 The volleyball tournament held at Independence high Saturday found the Dallas boys and Newberg girls as victors. ' ' Six Willamette valley league teams participated in the event. They were: Silverton, Newberg, Dallas, Woodburn, Molalla and Independence. Indians Drub Bruins i LOS ANGELES, March 27-rV Stanford's Indians ushered in the college track and field season here today with a topheavy 88 to 43 victory over the Bruins of Univer sity of California at Los Angeles, 1 by URSULA PARR O TT a long succession of sunlit days against some of the most exotic backgrounds on earth. And some times he thought he'd known her better in the time when he was no more to her than a casual guest a$ her father's or her sister's house. . How much he had hoped for in his marriage he knew by the very bit terness of that hope's deferring. He remembered that he had laughed with genuine amusement when Denise said, "You mean a formal marriage?" and he had said, "I didn't, but if you want it that way, so it shall be," or words like that. He had been so confident that with time, new scenes, his presence constant in them, his devotion undisguised, she would turn to him with love. From the Pyramids to Palestine, from Venice to Barcelona, she had turned to him with liking, her blue eyes sometimes ardent with interest in something she saw, never ardent toward him. Only, when he made any special gesture of demonstra tiveness, her eyes, even her voice, grew terrified; and immediately he felt even worse than if she had struck himl So he was left in the undignified and rather ridiculous position of a husband not a husband. There had been days when that position Infu riated him, days when he forgot it almost in genuine pleasure in Denise's companionship, days when he decided he hated her, days when he decided she could not help not lov inff him, and whatever she did was right, because he loved her so. Gen erally the situation left him in a state where he thought, resentfully, he had" lost all his decisiveness. Yet the only release from that state was of -necessity a gesture so ruthless and so violent that he never serious ly considered making it. : As near as he could come to humor over the situation was to determine that her feelings toward him were not quite those of a daughter to an indulgent father, but more those of a favorite niece toward an admiring uncle..,. , (To be continued) CapyrifM ky Cmli Parrot!

Q THE t S3 . 600,000 Seedling Trees Going Out On Oregon Farms More than 600,000 forest tree seedlings will go' to. farmers of Oregon this spring for purposes of establishing woodlots, shelter belts and windbreaks. State For ester J. W. Ferguson announced this week. With the number already shipped, Ferguson said, the Ore gon, forest nursery has orders on hand sufficient te dispose of its entire937 crop. "The demand for the seedlings ha . been greater than ever before, more than double that of two years ago and exceeding the 1936 shipments by 100,000." The seedlings consist of 15 varieties of established value, the forester continued, selected to meet the climatic requirement of both eastern and western Oregon and for the needs of the farm in production of posts, fuel and shelter. - : Plans were being formulated to produce at least one million trees next year and double that amount the following year. Construction work to house the seedlings and provide storage will be carried out by CCC camps. L CollegePredicts Turkey Decrease CORVALLIS. March 27.-;P)-The Oregon State college exten sion service this week predicted production this year of fewer-turkeys and chickens but more pota toes' than last year, with corres ponding market changes. An expected reduction of from 6 to 8 per cent in pullet produc tion was attributed to blgh feed costs and low egg prices. Early re ports from commercial hatcheries Indicate a 35 per cent reduction following a 47 per cent increase in the boom year of 1936. Last year's high potato prices are expected to bring- a production increase of 11.6 per cent this year, which will be aly average. An exceptionally -busy spring is in prospect for Oregon farmers, due to the. hay -spring seeding made necessary by last fall's drought and eaty winter dam age. -f ' By CLIFF .STEIUIETT By WAI T DISNEY BY BRANDON tfALSII n' ' 1 .
