To have no one else with whom to associate when you your self were really young, was pathetic X discreet cough brought her nacK to tne present. I "I beard you the first time, Ann.' Turning from the window, she faced Into the tastefully furnished room. If making a hnma haM a hu. band's affections, she'd done her best. And shed cost btm nothing.

"What's this bacon?" "Our first year together Is ended," she pei-slsted. "Has It satisfied 7o?" "Let's leave post-mortems to coroners," he grinned. "I'm not satisfied," her voice pur sued him. "That's not odd. Who Is?" He as sumed the light comedy manner of a bachelor uncle. "Qlven the choice, do you suppose anyone would go through the ceremony twice that's to say with the same person?" "Yon ciean that we've made a iness of things. If the fault's mint tell me." "It's the first time you've owned that you could have a fault, Santa.

(AP) Memory of a time when the pio neer'! recreation vu a meager a his Income suggested to Wm. Tempero. dirt farmer, w plan of attack which has routed his depression. His musings centered about the old barn dance, one of the few and sim ple pleasures of the prairie folk. He recalled they rode miles to shuffle rough boots over rougher boards in the rhythm of scraping fiddles. 'Thls," said the farmer, "seems to be the age of revivals old values, old songs, old customs, old overcoats why not the bsrn dance?" Accordingly, Mr. Tempero made a slight rearrangement of his livestock. Dobbin and Blossom were moved from the barn as a step toward mov ing the wolf from the door. A dance floor was built. Canvas was hung from the walls. Oas stoves were Installed. So that no scarcity of funds might wreck his project, Mr. Tempero placed two bins In his barnyard. Into these the rural youth was privileged to heave a sack of wheat, or two sacks of corn, and proceed to the dance floor with his lady.
