MORNING STAR

ST .V OP S IS I emlly niton's
mother, Frances Felton, is one of
those gentle lemalee who manages
everything and everybody. She hat
a duty complex, and Emily hae ar
rived at college age icithout ever
having been permitted to do the
little things that provide escape
iar youngsters. Even shy Edfcin
arnes, who obHovsly adores Em
ily, is lust the kind of boy Frances
F'lton likes. Koto Emily Is being
shipped off to Ardmore, near hone,
instead of being allowed to go to
Pryn Stawr, which she wanted very
much.
Chapter Two
ARDMORE
ARDMORE Is not far from Elston,
Alabama. It Is near Birming
ham: about two hours' drive, Emily
noted, from her own front door. Al
though she had seen the college be
fore, she was conscious of a vague
disappointment as the car bore her
and her mother towards Main Build
ing. Esthetlcallv, the Ardmore of a dec
ade ago was not very satisfying; It
was too prone to Ignore the ameni
ties of living for the rigors of learn
ing. There was no architectural
unity in the buildings, and exchange
professors from Trinity or Edin
burgh found themselves, to their sur
prise, quartered In rococo relics of
the nineties which the campus, like
an enormous amoeba, had absorbed
as It grew.
Frances glanced at her watch, rose
and extended a plump hand. "I
mustn't monopolize your time. You
have been more than Stlnd."
It would be Inaccurate to say that
Dr. Markham shook hands. Rather,
she allowed her hand to be taken. "I
hope you will come and see us often.
We like to feel that parents are In
terested In our efforts."
"Thank you, I shall," Frances as
sure! her.
She went then to the Freshman
Dormitory, an outmoded red brick
building with rooms large enough to
house a modern efficiency apartment
and climbed two nights of stairs to
her daughter's room.
Emily was arranging books and
pictures. Her face was flushed and
dirty and her eyes were shining.
This, she had begun to realize, was
more nearly freedom than anything
she had ever known.
Are you staying for supper?" she
asked gaily.
Frances shook her head. No. I
told William to come for me at five
and I fancy he's waiting now. You
know I never like to leave youi
father alone for meals."
JEFFREY FELTON was alwayi
"your father" when Frances
spoke of him to Emily. It was as II
she disclaimed any relationship with
Judith flung herself full length on the unmade bed.
Modernism, except In such courses
as were necessary to maintain the
school's standing, had not been al
lowed to rear Its head; and Its Bible
professors taught a doctrine of Are
and brimstone while Its professors
of science conducted discreet experi
ments with the Mendellan laws of
heredity and expounded the Dar
winian theory of natural selection.
Smoking went hand In hand with
cheating as a capital offense, and au
tomobiles were Instruments of the
Devil for the. furthernnce of his pri
vate ends.
Before committing her child to
the college's care Frances Felton had
a long Interview with the Dean
which strengthened her own convic
tion of the Tightness of her choice.
Dr. Markham was a fragile lady of
the post-Vlctorlan era wh'i had
grown up with the school, and who
managed, through the sheor force of
her convictions and her unimpeach
able gentility, to control five hun
dred girls without raising her voice.
Freshmen trembled in her pres
ence and were uncomfortably aware
of their bands and feet; graduates
saw her devotion to her school and
her students, and paid her unstinted
tribute.
CHE snd Frances liked and respect-
J ed each other immediately. They
saw eye to eye In the matter of train
ing young girls for life. Over a cup
of tea In the Dean's immaculste
parlor they discussed and settled
Emily's future.
"I can't toll you." Fiances assured
her warmly, "what a comfort tt is to
know that Emily Is In your care."
Dr. Markham smiled. "You sro
very kind. It Is a great comfort to
us to have girls like your daughter
at the school. They make It what It
Is."
Frances shook her head. "Not en
tirely. No matter how fine a girl Is,
she needs to be directed."
Dr. Markhnm sipped her scented
Ua delicately.
"That Is true. Our secret lies In di
recting rather than ruling. We give
our girls more liberty than any other
school In the South, on the assump
tion that they aro capable of appre
ciating IL They know our high ideals
snd strive to live tip to them. It has
been very successful. "
him outside the paternity of her
daughter.
"Well, kiss him for me and tell
blm I'm expecting a visit as soon as
he can get away. Dad, I mean; not
William."
Frances looked at her thoughtful
ly. In her day a girl was pale and
tearful over the Idea of leaving her
home. "You will remember, I hope,
dear, that we're expecting a good
deal of you?"
The brightness faded. "Of course,
Mother."
"I'm sure you will." Frances
kissed her with real tenderness and
went to her waiting car.
Emily's roommate, whose name
was Judith Carroll, arrived later in
the evening. It was quite typical of
Judith, Emily learned afterwards, to
arrive everywhere a little later than
everyone else. Her tardiness wasn't
Intentional: It usually resulted from
an unwillingness on the part of other
people to let her leave the place she
happened to be.
She was tall and slender, with
cloudy dark hair and Ingenuous blue
eyes that bid a knowledge of people
and things that few individuals ever
have the curiosity or the energy to
acquire. She flung her hat on one bed,
her coat on the other, took In the
room at a glance, and held out both
hands.
"How doth the little busy bee!"
she chuckled.
Emily succumbed at once Her
smile was a reflection of Judith's.
"How do you do?"
Judith Dung herself full length on
the unmade bed. "Oh, beautifully. I
always do: It's a family falling."
Later, Emily came to know that,
too. Judith's family were all fash
ioned from the same bright metal.
"Is there enythlng I can do to help
you unpack?" she asked a little shy
ly. Judith ran a hand through the
short, cloudy hair and stretched.
"Thanks, no; there's nothing to un
pack. I intended to get here In time
to rescue my trunk from the mael
strom below, but David made me
late, as usual. I'll have to sleep on
the mattress, but I've fared worse
before this."

Strange as It seems, trace the an

means depression. It comes from the
word "thaler," meaning valley of de
pression. The first coin from which we get
the word "dollar" was minted in
Bohemia in 1518 by the Count oi
Schlltz. These coins bore an effigy
of St. Joachim, and were known as
JoachlmathaJera or schllchenthalers.
They were equal to one gold gulden.

Kentucky blue grass Is of European
origin. It was called smooth meadow
grass there many years before It was
first planted In the United States. It
became famous in Kentucky, where
climate and soli conditions brought
this grass to Its highest development.
Recently Kentucky blue grass
moved another step west when It
was introduced In the Hawaiian
Islands. A wide belt of blue grass,
planted from Kentucky seed, is now
growing around Mauna Kea, highest
Island mountain In the world.
