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.

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
We wish to express our sincere
thanks to our many friends for their
sympathy and kindness during our
recent bereavement. Also forthe beau
tiful flowers. Louis and Gladys
Hughes.
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.
HELPFUL
seedlings, with from 20 to 25 buds
and blooms, are Interesting for many
of these are from seeda planted only
a year ago. A seedling haa to be
grown for three years and well test
ed before It Is named and placed
upon the market.
Many of the thousands of glads
are named for prominent pieces and
people, as Mother Machree, King Al
fred, Betty leuthall, Mary Plckford,
Los Angeles, and King George. There
are 12 to 15 good lavenders and as
many smoky varieties In this show.
Tonkheer Van Tets Is one of the
favorite whites. Wasaga la a beauti
ful buff. Blue Danube la one of the
best blues, but Plcardy Is considered
the best all-around glad for commer
cial and show purposes. It has been
used extensively In this show for the
larger basket arrangements.
