Finding Pearls
The Bureau of Fisheries says
that a saleable pearl has never
been found in an edible oyster.
The bureau points out that pearls
are formed either by an injury to
the oyster or the introduction of
some foreign matter through the
shell where a pearl develops by
a process of irritation. Pearls of
value are found usually in warm
Pacific waters, but the oysters
from which they are taken are
not edible.—Pathfinder Magazine.

Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twenty, ar
rives home in Corinth from school and is met
by her older brother, Hugh. He drives her to
the Marsh home where her widowed mother,
Fluvanna, a warm-hearted, self-sacrificing and
understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezias sis-
ter, Margery, plump and matronly with the
care of three children, is at lunch with them.
Hugh’s wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous
engagement. On the way back to his job at
the steel plant founded by one of his fore
bears, Hugh passes Doc Hiller, a boyhood
friend whom he no longer sees frequently be
cause of Dorrie’s antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh
wakens the next morning from a dream about
her late husband, Jim, whose unstable char
acter she fears Kezia has inherited.
Ellen
Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically
inclined gir! who is a distant niece of Flu
vanna’s and a favorite of Hugh’s. She hap
pily tells Fluvanna she has become engaged
to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father
and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not ap
prove the match. Hugh and Dorrie go out to
the Freeland Farms to dance with their
friends. Cun and Joan Whitney. Whitney, who
has been out of work, announces that he has
a new position. Cun and Dorrie dance to
gether and then disappear for a while. Danc
ing with Joan, Hugh is amazed to find her in
tears. Apparently she has some secret worry
over her husband, Cun. When Ellen and Jerry
speak about their engagement to Ellen’s par
ents, Lizzie is disagreeable until Jerry sym
pathizes with her imagined ailments. The mat
ter is left pending.

It was whispered around that he

that he had used company money
for his own use. People shooA their
heads over a wasted life, women
discussed it at tea parties for a
week, then the world moved on
about its own consumingly inter

Fluvanna was ill for several
weeks.
Dry-eyed, white, almost
speechless, she lay in bed. Her
friends whispered of shock—she
had found him that way after she
heard the shot. Small wonder she
was ill with that, and if she knew
half the things that were rumored!
When she grew better, she de
voted herself to her children and
went out very little. Her friends
could not surmise the poignancies
that harmless, idle conversation
could awaken, could not vision the
pain that talk of home and hus
bands and plans for the future
could awaken in a tortured soul,

Hugh was intensely annoyed as
he buttered his breakfast roll. “You
say you wrote to him, and then you
got this letter? Why didn’t you say
something to me first?”
“I thought I might persuade you
to change,” answered Dorrie.
He shook his head. “It wouldn’t
do, darling, at all. Insurance is a
business I know nothing about. It
would take me a year or two to
learn—and what would we live on
during that time?”
"John thinks you might do very
well in a few months. See what
he says,” she tossed the letter
over to him from John Reeper,
husband of her sister Beryl.
It was a mild communication, of
fering little or nothing; if Hugh
wanted to take up the insurance
business in New York, he would
put him in touch with the right par
ties. Hugh groaned to himself that
Dorrie should regard this as a busi
ness opportunity!
The lace on the flowing sleeve of
Dorrie’s negligee fell away as she
lifted her arm to pour a cup of
coffee. “Your father was in the in
surance business—you should have
some talent for it,” she said idly.
Hugh disregarded that. “We’d
have to move away.”
“Exactly.”
"You want to? Leave this little
place, our place? The arbor-vitae
hedge is coming along so nicely,
and the peach and plum trees we

"Sentimental as a woman ”
"I’d hate to leave Corinth—even

"All the foolish objections first

I’ve heard considerable complaint
about how hard that is!” She was
using the curling tone he disliked,
very soft, edged with malice.
“I’ve spent eight years in it. My
grandfather was in it; most of my
relatives are.
At least I know
what it’s about.”
When she did not answer he went
on pleadingly. "1 haven't dene so
