PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL fRlBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGOX, SUNDAY. JULY 8, 1934. J SYNOPSIS: Siuijha Moore's parents have not given her a very substantial basis upon tohich to value life's offerings and Aunt Gertrude Moore's spinster home has only antagonised and bored Marsha. While watting for Aunt Gertrude in a hotel lobbu Marsha has taunted Letitia Powers with the attention that her cousin, Bnb Powers, has paid her. Thtn the leaves the little group. "Mrs .d upon me tbli morning, 4 ' "Absurd, day to call; everyone li bound to be In," Marsha responded carelessly. "She is deeply troubled!" Miss Moore stated. "Deeply troubled!" "The waiter Is, too, dear;" Marsha said, "so suppose you ask him what he recommends end then you can thumbs-down It and select some thing else, and be can depart In peace to the kitchen, and hibernate there for a season or two" The waiter bowed.. Marsha looked around as her aunt frowned upon the menu. Marsha gave her own order crisply, quickly; the waiter disappeared and Miss Moore attacked anew. "Mrs. Powers came to me, asking my help," Miss Moore began. "She Is a gentlewoman of rare poise; a woman of years " "Oh, where is my handkerchief?" Marsha murmured. Miss Moore paid no heed to the Interruption. "She told me much of her son," Miss Moore went on; "he haa been an exemplary young man. Alwaya so thoughtful, she says; eendlng her primroses" Chapter Four AUNT GERTRUDE "1AT!" breathed a muddy-skin-ned girl, aa Marsha moved toward her aunt, who bad entered with a stride that told of her having marched in many parades for this, against that; the sensitive missed the propaganda on the bannerl "He's really mad about her?" asked the girl who must live on synthetic emotion, who must warm her handa at others fires. "Absolutely" Letltla admitted hollowly. Some one else said. "He's seen no one but a Chinese cook for ten months, you know " "She is marvelously beautiful," aid the girl who was bonest "Yes; but I've known lovelier women who had nothing of her power!" said Letltla Powers and bitterly; "but you know what she '"TTO REMIND her of his path?" Marsha asked. Again Miss Moore Ignored her niece's contribu tion to the conversation. Marsha looked around the room. does; what aba can do; how aha orders them around" "I was at school with her one year," said a blonde who sat slumped deep on a lounge. "She had left the Church School here for some reason. I think she'd been kicked out, but It was bushed up. "And she went to Miss Vance's and each time we'd come back from ichool the rest of us quite a group would ask the red caps to carry our luggage; she never asked; she aid, softly, Indolently, 'My bag, pointed ... It was snatched up . . . he would swing oft, head high, while the rest of us waited to be erved." "How does sbe do It?" "Well, you know what'a said- The heads drew close and the rolcea lowered. And Marsha, pass ing with ber aunt, saw thla and smiled. Miss Gertrude settled at one of the window tables, without a smile. "What now?" thought Marsha. Something was, obviously, disturb ing Miss Gertrude; and a some thing of considerable weight Mar ha studied the menu, wondering. "I had not supposed you would be alone," Miss Gertrude began. "What have you done with Mr. Powers?" "rvON'T know," Marsha an awered; "you know how care less I am with my men. Perhaps I checked him, but what matter? What are you golug to rat, Aunt Gertrude?" "It Is useless to try to evade with me," boomed out Miss Moore. "True," Martha agreed as she looked around the room to see whether anyone she knew was near. Stuyvesant Legglt was at a table near the orchestra; his eyes were upon Marsha and he Hushed dsrkly as she nodded to him. He was among the legion who had "never got over It." "Who was that? I haven't my bi focals with me." "Stuyvesant Legglt, Aunt Ger trude." "I see and that brings me to the point, Marsha. I remember and too well how you treated Mr. Legglt" "Oh, dearl" . "It seems be loves you, Marsha," Miss Moore confided, "and he haa never loved before." "I knew that," Marsha replied; "his technique Is frightful. It quite takes me back to the dancing-school age. I think he's dreaming of kissing my hand" "When you are quite through, I shall continue, Marsha." "I realise that, my dear aunt, and that was rude, and 1 know you want your little say; so take a deep breath and shoot, darling!" Miss Moore stiffened; gave a thought to asking Marsha to express herself In a manner less suited to a taxlcah chauffeur and abandoned this with her decision to keep for the moment, to the main track. "Mrs. Powera confided to me that ber son has never dallied" Marsha sat back to laugh. " 'Dal lied'" she echoed, "but that la charming, Auntyl Ah, here comes our waiter!" 'Mrs. Powers Informed me that It you were not serious you would break his heart!" 'I do hope she Incorporated 'My boy' with the vox humane effect," said Marsha. The eyes of the two women met as the waiter awooped to put foods, wltb a flourish of arm, on the small table, and Marsha's flippancy died. She found herself to be oddly tired; nervous and angered, aa she bad not been for years, by her aunt. For the first time In all of her lonely, selfish, fighting, mature existence, she was troubled oy a consideration of what might come, through her, to another. She did not want to hurt Bob Powera His trusting, level-looking llgbt-blue eyes bad bad strange ef fect upon her. At times these hon est eyes bad made her want to laugh hysterically and cry a little and to say, "Don't! You're quite mistaken! I'm not like that. I'm shallow and I've rolled In a hundred gutters, and I believe In nothing and you're wast ing your good time and yourself!" But somehow she had been able to tell blm nothing of the truth. Tomorrow, Marsha hears from an old admirer. NEW YORK, July T. (AP) Jsmee 0.

The COPCO OFFERS L There Is an Interesting story con nected with the California Oregon Power company's advertisement ap earlng elsewhere In this paper. This ad shows a large illustration of a beautiful electric range, fully equip ped with nearly every modern con venience one can think of . . . timer clock, condiment Jars, mirror (so that the housewife can powder her nose when the door bell rings), towel rack, fully automatic oven, high Bplasher back and shelf ... all of the accesorles and refinements, In fact, that are only found on electric ranges priced in the 9150 and 9200 class. Yet the advetrlsed price la less than half thr-t. Questioned as to how such a seeming Impossibility could occur, company officials ex plained It this way: "Business is picking up, people are buying more, factories are working extra shifts and clearing warehouses that have been choked the last four years with merchandise for which there has been little demand. Dur ing the process of clearing out this old stock a short time ago, a few of these electric ranges were found far back in a corner of one of the large warehouses of the Westlnghouse company. A close cut order was Is sued by the factory and our com pany purchased these ranges at a saving we are- passing on to those of our customers who have not aa yet purchased an electric range. These ranges have not yet arrived but ara expected within the next few days. However, because of the limited num ber, It will be necessary for those interested to place their orders at once."

Card of Thanks I wish to express my deep apprecia tion and gratitude shown me during the sickne snd death of my hus band. Sincere thanks for the beautiful florsl offerings. Mrs. Eva McNary.
