PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, TUESDAY. SEPTErBER 3. 1935. PtMORNING STAR bff Br IvfARXAIt SIMS BYSOPSlSr At commentation tor having been sent to Ardmore instead of Bryn Uamr, Emily Fel. ton has found her roommate, Judith Carroll, one of the most charming' ly irresponsible pirle in Alabama, Emily needed Judith, tor Emily's mother is one of those women who think a great deal about Duty. Now Judith has persuaded Mrs. Felton to permit Emily to visit the Car roll plantation in the Easter vaca tion. The Carralls are all like Ju :'.". Emily finds. Chapter Four DAVID THE Carroll house hadn't the or- dered, clipped beauty of Jier own home, but It bad beauty ot setting; of rich red fields In the distance: of magnificent trees that led to the entrance like an aisle to an altar. The car stopped before a doorway that wore Its raying fanlight like a coronet, and It seemed to Emily lh.it Bedlam broke loose. Dogs barked, someone shouted from an upper window, and Judith shouted loudest of all. Mrs. Carroll met them In the lofty hall; a fiill, thin woman In Impecca ble riding clothes, with the broad "a"s and superfluous "y"i of tide water Virginia In her voice. She kissed her daughter briefly but af fectionately. "Judith, my darling! We are about to send out posses. Where did you get that awful hat?" 1 and ruddier than any of them, said teasingly. "From all I can gather, you're the Influence for good that Jude's been needing." Emily laughed. Already she felt herself catching the spirit of this place. "OS, I hopo not! Influences for good usually wear flat heels and glasses." He chuckled. "Then you must be an envoy of the Devil. Anyhow, we're glad to have you." They came finally to the end of the room, to an individual that Judith embraced for a full half minute. Then she turned back to Emily, "This Is David," she said. As she looked Into David's wait ing eyes Emily realized that life needn't necessarily be the safe and dismal affair that she had always expected; It mlsht be thrilling and reckless and glorious. And If David would let you see It with blm, It would be. He had taken her hands, and al though he was talking to Judith, ha was looking at her. "And you've been keeping this from me ever since September? Is that sisterly affec tion, I ask you?" "If you'd taken the trouble to come and see me," Judith retorted, "I'd have let you meet her sooner. But you're so married to your horses and your alfalfa that you can't tear They welcomed Emily with gay cordiality. "At a fire sale, love," retorted her daughter, who had paid thirty dot. lars for the hat two days before. "Mother, this Is Emily." Mrs. Carroll's tanned face soft ened Into a charming smile. "We're delighted to have you, my dear. I hope you don't mind Bedlam." Emily smiled back ."If this Is a sample, I think I'll love IL" Mrs. Carroll patted her hand. "Dinner's almost roady, Jude, so you'd better have Jackson take your bags up right away. There's quite a mob tonight," she added as an afterthought, "so you'd better dress." And with another brlgT, affection ate smile she left them. Emily stared wide-eyed at the room to which they were shown. The celling was st least twelve feet In height, and Uie canopied ma- sogany bed almost touched It. "I feel like Queen Victoria or Martha Washington." Judith had already begun throw lng things. "They say she slept here once: Martha, I mean: but 1 doubt It. Neither she nor George lived long enough to occupy all the beds they're supposed to have honored. "I think," she decided abruptly, "that you'd better wear that daffodil chiffon and knock them flat all at once. It won't matter then whether you talk or not, and you can get your bearings." She obediently wore the chiffon; pale yellow, with a golden-brown girdle toning to the deeper brown of ber hair. Judith, who always dressed like a whirlwind and looked like a mannequin, surveyed her critically and reached for the rouge. When she had finished she stepped back and regarded her handiwork. "God help the poor seamen on a night like this!" she chuckled, and led the way downstairs. 'PHE Carroll living-room was vast, A softly lighted, and alive with reople who were all drinking high balls and talking at the tops of their voices. They kissed Judith, men and wo men Indiscriminately, and welcomed Emily with a gay cordiality that she would have given a great deal to ac Quire. Mr. Carroll, who was bigger yourself away. Is that brotherly af fection, I qfk you?" "Well, we won't quarrel over tt now," David decided, and as a ser vant announced dinner he slipped Emily's hand through his arm. The other arm he flung about Judith's shoulders, and the three of them moved towards the dining room. TN retrospect the dinner had for 1 Emily the dream-like quality that so manyOpivid experiences acquire. The table was candlo-llt, and ex quisite crystal caught the glow and splintered it into a thousand colored fragments. David's head, with Its fair unruly hair, waa bent close to hers, and his conversation was as Incessant and amusing as It was In consequential. There wero quantities of delicious food that she couldn't eat, and a great deal of wine that she didn't dare drink. David's admiration was Intoxicating eno-igh for one evening. And afterwards, when dinner was over and the party was breaking up Into tables of bridge and tables of poker, David led her outdoors and settled her carefully In a ''cop, cush ioned swing, set In the enrhanted cir cle of the garden. For a long time they didn't talk. David rested an arm gently about her shoulders and smoked. Then he threw away the clgaret and his arm tightened. "I babbled about myaslf all dur ing dinner and you were too sweot to shut me up. Talk about you, now." She dldn'towant to talk... She wanted to sit still and feel David's arm holding her close. She was faintly ashamed, too, of the monot onous propriety of her existence. "There's no story. I've done the proper things all my life." A recol lectloiSof the carnival man returned. "I've never stolen a green apple or gone wading before the correct time to go wading. You couldn't be In terested In anything I've ever done." His cheek was caressing her hair and his nearness left her shaken. "I could be Interested In anything you've ever done."

ON CC?NVEl?SATl0U Wtk RT - Kot a code, but en actual language, li whistled back and forth among th hills of Oomera Island In the Canaries by natives who iro able to carry on whistling conversations over distances up to three or four miles. The basis of thla whistling lan guage Is Spanish. Words and phrAsen are whistled rather than spoken and may be borne great distances. The rounds are perfectly unintelligible to one not acquainted with the lnn gunge. No Instrument of any kind Is used. The language owes its origin prob ably to the mountainous nature of the Island. Distance comparatively close together by airline cannot be reached by foot without traversing canyons and valleys. Hence the need for a simple means of long distance communication. Strange aa it seems, the whistling language Is not entirely peculiar to this Island. Chacarters of the Paris underworld sometimes use a poorly developed whistling language to com municate with each other when se crecy Is needed. The little church at the foot of James Bay in northern Ontario has holes In the floor so that flood waters may enter the building freely. There is good reason for thla strange fact. Before they put hole in the floor, riood waters used to float the church away like a boat. Members of the congregation decided that it was easier to clean up the dirt left by receding water than to0 bring the building back from somewhere down streamtherefore, the precaution.
