TCTSfirAt, JTJLT'lQ, 1931 4 SYNOPttIS, After the death of her pay but futile parents, Marsha Moore has gone to live with her Aunt Gertrude. And Aunt Oer trude'e epineter distrust of life and Marsha hat led the girl into a life of hard oayety, broken only by the clatter as one admirer after an other falls by the wayside. But Bob i'otvers, on vacation from hie Mfx tran fob, tit different. Suddenly, Martha deride the doet not tci.nl to hurt Bob. sura mmmms: She had been, considering her unt derstandlng of life, strangely Inno cent of the true form ot the Chinch School affair with Mr. Craven. She had felt only her hunger for af fection; the tact that she, who wai starved for It, had found It, and she was at the point when eh- had coma to the feeling that she could not "stand It any more" living with her aunt. Alice, another maid who had been for years with Miss Moore, left tba room stiffly with the salad plates; then Marsha, who had grown a pro tective shell since that day when she knew she would die unless "some one liked her a little," said crisply, "No sweet " She did not care for sweets of any sort now. She preferred the raw and biting; men who blurted out harsh truths, foods that made the eyes smart. How smug, the proud old sil ver on the Sheraton sideboard. It had never been anything but dull to eat at home. No, once It had been more than dull; It bad been a rack. Well, that was overl She knew her way around and she was so bard that no one could hurt her. Chapter Six MAN FROM MEXICO AN HOUR later Marsha made ready to dress for dinner; Jean ran her hath. Marsha said, "Thank you, Joan " to receive no answer beyond a short sniff. Once again she had felt that lite might be much more bearable It there were only a servant In Miss Ger trude's menage who would answer pleasantly. She lay In the tub relating, and stepping from It, she saw herself In a long mirror. Lovely she was, she knew. But if she had been plain she might hais been very good and "beautiful In all the ways that count most." That had echoed! She dressed slowly and carefully; Bob was coming after dinner, and they would doubtless go some where to dance. She chose a black dress that was not so black as her hair, colled the hair low, snapped "T AM going to a committee meet lng," said Miss Gertrude; "we are to discuss plans tor the Com munity House " "Can you see them aa my ancestors?" asked Marsha. iround her white throat the string ot pearls that had been her moth er's. She could see her mother playing with them, the while she teased aome man by turning upon him the softest eyes. Marsha had come by her habits straight enough, she knew; It was odd that they some times troublei! her.- - -, She dined, for the most part In silence, with her aunt. Miss Moore broke It once to say, "And what do you do tonight?" Her question was asked In a manner that Implied de celt would be useless; In a manner that had, to he Just to Marsha, been used long before Marsha had con sidered the weaving ot the tangled web. "Bob," Marsha answered, "but you should have said who, or la it whom? I always got mixed on those. Wo'ro packing the time with 'beau tiful memories'; he goes back to his bridges In two or three months" "I am Indeed glad to hear It!" Miss Moore commented. "Better," Martha agreed. "The affair, by then, will have about run Us course. You do dislike my trap ping methods, don't you, Aunt?" MISS GERTRUDE! made no reply and Marsha smiled a trifle wearily at the heavy qulot that en sued; she understood Its quality so welll Such unbroken stretches had once seemed almost unbearable. Marsha remembered, with a rise ot hot Indignation, the Injustices that had been done her, as a child, through them; ot how she had struggled to please her aunt, to make talk that would please her aunt. After her tangle with the music teacher, she had tried no more. Miss Moore had made nor under stand very clearly that she was "lost," that there was "no possible redemption" tor her. Her under, standing had made Marsha lie wide eyed In the dark, night after night, seeing herself aa ruined, people as shunning her, her life a thing to be lived apologetically. In shadow; seeing God as a stern facod replica ot the hardest Puritan marking her 'or his wrath. It was amailng how arid and love less those could be, who "served humanity," Msrsha reflected. She wondered, drinking her . '"ee, bow It would be to spend an evening at home with some man. She might try It with Bob. Doubtless Jean and Alice would keep watch, ears glued to key holes, and so be ready to re port. But they wouldn't get . much from Bob I When he appeared at nine, Marsha, herself, opened the door to him. For a moment he hesitated; then quickly he stepped within the hall. "This Is about the pleasantest thing that ever happened to me," he said. ' "Your flowers are lovely, Bob "Not lovely enough," he faltered In answer. "I so appreciate your sending me the same sorts that you aent your mother." And she did; she felt her eyes smart to turn quickly from him. "It was all wrong," she added, "but 1 liked It Aunt's out. Do you think you could stand an evening of domestic turn?" "Rather!" he answered eagerly. He laid his hat and gloves on a ta ble; slipped from his coat to follow her Into the email, prim drawing room that was depressed by stern portralta of very God-tearing folk; gentlefolk ot reprossed Instincts and an unyielding sense ot tie proper. "Can you see them as my , an cestors?" Maraha asked, after a short glance around the walls. She laughed; he smiled. "Your an cestors," he stated, "were gods and goddesses but unusually kind ones I think you are descended frorr Nlobe who bragred that her chll dren were the most beautiful In the world. One child must have escaped death, The others, you know werr killed bocause they were so beau tlful-" "It works that way sometimes but let's not brood on It" she said "Sit down, Bob" , She had dropped to a small old sofa; he looked longingly at thr space that was by her. Again Shi laughed. "You may," she said gentlj - (CefyritU, W4. h K. Hnitt-Tttln) Bob spends a difficult evening. Monday. ICKES CALLS CONFABS WASHINGTON, July 10.

Be Cashed at Towns Other Than One to Which Sent by Paying Additional Fee By FRANK B. HARPER, Associated prrsi staff Writer. WASHINOTON,, July 10. (AP) Postmasters are having big memory workout these days, learning new answers necesslted by the activity of the 73rd congress in passing new postal laws. Borne of the regulations will Jingle a bit more money In Uncle Sam's pockets. Beginning yesterday for Instance, an additional dime Is charged when a registered, Insured or "collect on delivery" piece of mall Is delivered to a restricted address or person. That Is, If such a letter or parcel Is marked for delivery only to John Smith at such and such an address, lnsttad of being addressed merely to a street or office number, the added charge will be collected. Consider able revenue la expected from this source. Another fresh wrinkle that will bring In more nickels and pennies are the new regulations permitting cashing of money orders at postof- flces other than the one to which the order is sent. In such cases the postmaster cash ing the money order will deduct a fee equal to that charged by the of fice from which It was sent. In other words, If a person sends a money or der for which he was charged 18 cents, and It Is cashed at some oth er office than the one named In the order, IS cents will be collected by the cashing office. Another money-producing Innova tion, but one that will not profit the postofflce department Itself, Is the so-called "duck stamp." Hereafter, hunters going after ducks and other migratory fowl must buy from the postofflce a 1 migratory bird stamp and put It on their licence. Regulations Mr the postmasters to handle this routine have Just been Issued. The money will go Into the treasury for the support of bird ref uges and breeding grounds. Then there Is the new airmail rate than means more changes In the postmasters' routine 6 cents Instead I tlon, Hull also paid tribute to Tur key lor Its "effective steps" to sup press Illicit exports. "The United States was the prin cipal victim of this traffic and the action taken by the Turkish govern ment to put and end to It has been of the greatest assistance to the American government In Its efforts to combat the evil of narcotic drug addiction." Hull added. Forty-five nations have either rat ified or acceded to the narcotics 11m' 1 tat Ion agreement.
