PAGE BIX MEDFORD M20L TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1932. A PATH T f CcmafAf BYNOPBIBt tnatuM from a belated honeymoon in Franc by the new that hie employer ftae tailed. Olive and hie yiddy young vile hurry back to New yorlt. Olive1 mutd t daunted by the imaae at Banta'e ttret hueband Dicky and the "reformation" San ta believee ehe hoe wrought in him. And at once they land. Banta engineers a return to the apartment her money supports, ahhouph eho fcnowe Cllve de Uite it. Chapter 27 THE CATA8TROPHE SHE'D been right It had been tun to return to the old apartment and make a bed late at nlgbt, laughing like a pair ot children. It was even more (un to wake in the morning and Quarrel over who hould cook the breakfast than to discover that there was nothing In the Ice-box. "Let'a go cuckoo," aha suggested. 80 they dressed and aallled forth Into sun-washed streets, which were almost empty. "Why, ot courael It'a Sunday." Santa solved the riddle ot their emptiness. They strolled In the Park and iwatched the riders. Visited the Metropolitan Museum. Hired a boat ;on the ornamental lake. Went to a movlng picture In the evening. On the walk borne, Santa Jerked bis arm. "How much has It cost!" . "Less than Are dollars. Why J" "We never needed to have gone abroad to be bappy, Cllve. We can 1a happy anywhere." Next morning, being Monday, In mood ot forced cheerfulness be aet oft to report to Mr. Cleasby Santa was bli mascot. She bad per uaded him, contrary to reason, that because she was his wife no aril could befall bim. At parting he had asked, "What's your program?" Til Invent one," she bad replied .vaguely. ' When he admitted himself to the apartment that evening, how she bad occupied herself was obvious. Ruga bad been laid, photograph frames, lamps and brlo-a-brao were In their accustomed places. In the Barrow hall be paused. The amell of cooking. Voices. She bad engaged a maid. Her persistency was daunt ing. "You're lata, darling," Santa wel; feomed him. "Barely time to change." In the bedroom he found further proofs ot ber devotion. Her efficient ey astounded him. Hie clothes had been spread out with the expertness of a valet! shoes In the right place; socks beside them; shirt studded; tub. piled and scented with bath salts. Everything orderly; nothing forgotten. "The return of the wage-earner!" He frowned at himself In the mirror. Her pretence that be was master ot the establishment was madden ing. This waa ber first atep toward making the apartment again a hab it. In each and all ot these atten- .tlona he discerned strategy. She'd 'stolen a march on him. By subtle flatterles she waa attempting to Ipurchass his compliance. Having Ipledged herself to consult him lahe'd barged ahead as though he 'didn't figure In the ploture. A doubt crossed bis mind: Waa he loelng fair? Possibly this was her 'mistaken Idea of sheltering him. The table was beautifully set. As lie pushed In her chair, she smiled np at him bewltchlngly. "I've ordered everything you like." She was expecting him to remark on the transformation aba bad wrought. "Everything I Ukel Tat In stance?" "Caviare, mushroom soup, squab, ndlve salad, hot-house grapes." "Been blowing yourself. And orchids, by gosbl" "After perching In hotels, being my own housekeeper went to my bead." While the strange maid hovered, conversation had to be general jWltb the postponement ot their problems a polite estrangement jgrew between them. They laughed .and chatted like chance acquaint ances. Wben coffee had been served and they were alone, there was a pause. "How did things go?" she en quired. "Cant Ulk here." In the drawing room, snug with shaded lamps and spacious with oblongs of star-flllea sky, having ar ranged herself deooratlvely on the couch, ahe awaited blm. "Hare a cigarette?" he ap proached ber. "Thanks, old man. Light It for me Didn't things go well?" "Rottenly. The firm's bust I didn't see Cleasby. He's enjoying a nervous breakdown. The office Is being managed by a receiver." FROWNS ON TAILS' PARIS (AP) Prealdent Lebrun has wrought a sartorial revolution In this center of fashion. Re firmly declined to' appear at morning and afternoon functions In full evening dreaa, with the red rib bon of the Legion ot Honor acroaa bis hard-boiled ahlrt front. Previous pmldenta have alwaya deemed that costume essential on of ficial occasions, and foreign envoys an cabinet ministers Stave had to put on "tails" also. Lebrun has gone bars to the "Prince Albert" of late Victorian times. He wanted to adopt the cut-away, but Becq de Foquleree. his "director of the protocol," or arbiter of manners, deemed that Juat a shade too dap per sod moanv I-M ARADISE I iAWSOU i "Then bow did yon spend the day?" "Wandering. I was ashamed" She blew a putt ot smoke. "Darling, you are an ass." "You've sold It" He started pac ing. "I was ashamed to return to this borne wblcb you've chosen tor me. What right nave 1 to dine on caviare?" He swung around. "What right have 1 to alt at a table festive with orchids?" "But my dear," she poled at his exasperation, "you're my husband. You have every rlgnt" That doesn't give me the right My furthest thought when 1 mar ried was that I would become a gigolo." "No one ever accused you "Someone wllL You've forced lux uries on me that make me ridicu lous. Now that I'm Jobless, unless 1 live on you, we must economise. : The extravagance of this apartment complicates my position horribly." In a way It does," she nodded. Then, In heaven's name," he burst out "why did you settle in the moment my back was turned?" She smiled conclllatlngly. "But Isn't that selfish, darling?" Her aoothlng voice pursued blm. "Your way at present would mean cheap lodgings. We'd both bate them. Meanwhile, unless we could sub-let this apartment It would stand empty. And then there's my side. You married me when I was damaged goods. It I'd shown false pride and refused to allow you Won't you understand my motives? This la perhaps the only chance I'll ever have to repay you. The old doubt assailed blm with regard to bis fairness. He glanced up. Bbe looked anything but domi nant Slim legs curled under ber, she asked a question. "Have 1 ever failed you?" Evasion would have been easier. He hesitated. Wltb one of those shameless re versals of which pretty women are capable, she uttered a tinkling, merry laugh which broke the ten sion. Of course I have. I do things on the impulse. When you left tbls morning, 1 longed to restore your sense ot security." She waved her hands. "I slaved all day to prepare this. Stupid of me." Resentment faded. "Santa dear, I'd like to; I can't let you off. You've struck a gait that'a beyond me." She crossed the room and sank against his knees. Listen, Cllve, I know what's wor rying you. Because Dicky sponged on me, you're afraid to borrow. You and Dicky aren't on the same planet And tbere'a eometblng else; you're angry with the world because ot your set-back. You feel you bava to blame somebody, I'm bandlest" ' "I can scarcely blame you tor Cleasby'a failure." It's what you're doing." She caressed him. "Once you thought I showed a lack ot faltb when you assured me that we'd never quar rel. Married couples can't help quar relling. They're so Inseparable that this sounds awful they antago nize each other. Your antagnonlsm has fastened on this apartment. You don't really detest It What you detest Is having Inherited me." "You may be right" She pressed more heavily against him. "Then don't punish me for com ing to you second-hand." He atroked her wavy balr. It he surrendered, his protest would go tor naught "Neither ot ns wonts to be selfish. Neither ot us wants to be bard on tbe other. As for punishing you, the thought never entered my head. Your divorce has nothing to do with my objections to living at tbe rate ot twenty thousand a year when my earnings are temporarily wiped out" "My divorce has everything to do with It" Her eyee became bright with tears. "In your mind, tbough, you're unconscious ot It this apart ment symbolises Dicky. There's no reason why It should. It was my gift to you." "But you agreed wltb me, Santa, when we were abroad. "I still agree with you." she dumbfounded him. "Then what's the argument?" She sat bock on ber heels. "There Isn't any. The moment you've found a borne to substitute tor this one, I'll give np mine. But you haven't found a home and you're not In a position to find one. So why not make the best ot the one we've got You see I'm talking common sense not poetry," ICttyHiil IMMMI, CW.(it, Dewm) The heeret fear that preys upon Santa Is brought to light, tomor row.

This la one of the major contributions made by any American company this year to national betterment In terms of employment and materials con sumption. Nearly 60,000 of the new 1933 se ries, valued In excess of 20,000.000, will be required for dealers' an nouncement purposes alone, and the manufacture of at least that number is assured within the next few weeks. Mr. Knudsen said. Tbls output will entail the consumption of more than 60,000 tons of Iron and steel and the use of large quantities of the 80 other major commodities which go Into the production of a new Chevrolet six, Mr. Knudsen stated. Aside from economic considerations, he said that Chevrolet was embark ing on Its 1933 program shortly, be cause the company felt It was good business and that satisfactory sales volume would reward any desirable product rightly priced and ably mer chandised. Observance of this pol icy during the past three years brought Chevrolet a constantly In creasing percentage of total available automobile business, and In 1933 placed It In the most favorable com parative position It has ever enjoyed In Its 31 -year history, he pointed out. In this three-year period the com pany's plants, although on curtailed schedules, never once closed for a con tinuous shutdown exceeding 30 days, and then only during the regular an nual Interval between closing out of old models and Introduction of new ones.

CATTLE BREEDERS KANSAS CITY, Nov, 17 (AP) The traditions of an organization founded 50 years ago for the purpose of guard ing the purity of a small number of white-faced cattle were recalled last night at the golden anniversary din ner of the American Hereford Cattle Breeders' association. a The organization was founded at Chicago by owners of a few more than 3000 Hereford. They wished to build a breed of cattle true to type, a type that might be flexible toward efficiency in meat production. The blood of the breed was to be kept pure by registration. On the registration books of the organization now are nearly half a million white-faced cattle, represent ing every rtate " In the unto and Canada.
