TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1935 STAR by Marian Sims SYNOPSIS: Tht tov of David Carroll and the deep friendship of David's Jleter Judith art the chief trophies of Emily t'elton's first year at Ardmore College. Sola the Car rolls have lost their fine old planta tion, and David, rather than ask Emily to share something second rate, has written her he is point! away, Emily hae left only her duty bound mother, her adoring father, and Erlwm Barnes, who la both shy and dull. Chapter 10 CHARLOTTE EMILY read Davld'f tetter dully, over and over, until she (elt that tt was probably engraved on ner heart like Calais, wasn't It on the heart of Bloody Mary? Then she put It carefully away, and her small face becarqe once more composed and withdrawn. Late In the summer there was an other letter from Judith. Emily, darling I'm golnt; to be Married next month to Aubrey Morton. He wu at home when you were there, but you probably don't remember htm fattish, with glasses and not much hair. But he has character and a bis house and will In time, 1 hope, help produce the f ve chil dren. And I'll make him an excel lent wife I I wish 1 could have you for the wedding, but it Isn't going to he that kind: I have scruples against making the groom pay in advance. But you've got to come and see me, afterwards; I'm determined that this shan't be the end of it. I'm a rotten correspondent, aa you've doubtless observed, and If view, and belonged very definitely to the Left Wlr.g. She had sought Emily's room at the opening of school, and seited herself In an uncomfortable straight chair. J'lultL, Emily thought long Irur'., would have been stretched full length on the most comfortable bed. "I understand that Judith has de serted you for matrimony." Her voice was clipped, but pleasantly low-pitched. Emily admitted It. "My room-mate Isn't coming back, either; couldn't finance It, She's taken a newspaper Job In the hope that she can make It next year. Is there any reason why we shouldn't room together?" There were a number ol reasons, Emily thought, none of which she could tell Charlotte. She caught at one that seemed safe. "I couldn't begin to keep up with you, mentally Your friends would want to come here, of course, and they'd be bored beyond words at having me around. And being what I am," she added honestly, I d prob ably be boret' too." CHARLOTTE disagreed. "I would not think of letting them over run the place. And 1 don't believe you'd be bored with each other." She outdid Emily In frankness. "Yo Emily read David'a letter over and over. you don't hear from me tt won't be because I've forgotten. Just bear with me, and whenever you can get away Just write and say, "I'll be there tomorrow," and I'll blesa you for It. Mother and Dad are moving to New Orleans, where Dad will be with a big firm of cotton buyers. I hate having them go, but I think they'll both be happier there. And David Is In San Francisco, tiling this week for China. He's with the British-American Tobacco Company, and how he managed It without the usual period of train ing, both you and I can under stand. He simply went up end talked Uiem out of IL You can Imagine how I feel, end I can Imagine how you feel another reason for our sticking together. I'll always love you, darling I Judith. pMILY had come very close, that - summer, to "making an Issue" of going back to Ardmore. "I can't! I can't bear the Idea." Frances was kind, but very firm. "My dear, you're being childish. There are five hundred other girls tt Ardmore to choose your friends from." "I can't hol It Everything will remind me of Judith. Besides I'll have to room with some freshman; all the other girls have made their plans. Why can't I go to Newcomb Instead?" "Even If I were willing you couldn't tutor so late. And you know bow girls are regarded who change schools In the middle of their work. Everyoue wonders if there was some reason why they had to change." There was a modicum of truth In that, Emily realized unwillingly. "Furthermore, my dear." Francos went on, with one of her rare de scents from the heights of abstract virtue, "I hope this will teach you something. Never, as long ss you live, allow your happiness to de pend entirely upon one person or one thing. It makes you too vulner able. Try to arrange your life so that no mattet what happens there will be somothlng left to fill It." And so .he had given In. with the hopeless conviction that she had been beaten from the beginning She roomed with Charlotte Boyd not because she wanted to, but be cause there seemed to be no al ternative that was preferable. Charlotte was a Junior: tall and thin, with dull black hair that never seemed quite t.ean. She majored In biology, edited the Quarterly Re- have a mind; I could see that In English Twelve last year; and we'd probably be good for you." Emily smiled. "I'm afraid I'm be yond all hope." "Rot! Did you have anyone else In mind for a room-mate?" "No," she confessed, "I was go ing to take a chance on some fresh man." "Then why not take a chance on me Instead?" Charlotte smiled, and Emily realized that her xeen brown face had a very definite charm. She gave In. 'All right. It will probably be harder on you than on met" And so Charlotte had moved In that afternoon, bringing with her three rather macahre Dilrer etch ings and a trunk containing mote hooka than clothes. Astonlshlr? books for a girl some ol them: Herbert Spencer, Darwin's "Origin of Species," Nietzsche's "Anti Christ," Cellini's "Autobiography," half a dozen volumes of Anntole France. The clothes wtro equally astonish ishlng, but Emily was prepared for those; a great many of them Char lotte haa worn the preceding year. She admitted to herself that the clothes were perhaps better suited to Charlotte than more conventional garments would have been. Charlotte unpacked swiftly, tak ing scrupulous care not to encroach on Emily's sld- of the room; a char acteristic. Eml y learned afterwards, that held In all her human relation ships. While she unpacked she talked. "It's probably a blessed thing for you that you have curtains and nigs; that Is, It you're anything of a sybarite, and I have an Idea you are Jane brought the rugs last year and 1 got curtains, but 1 bought them at a ten-cent store, and they looked like distress signals before the yent was over." "Don't worry about any of that," Emily beggod her. She knew In atluctlvcly that the financial effori entailed by a degree was conslil erable for Charlotte. "Mother's sem more stuff than we'll have room fot as It Is." (Copyright, I5.IJ, hy IMrloi Sims) Emily learnt. Mondsy, of a new kind of fnendihio. and a new view or coneg) at I DESERT MYSTERY BUCKEYE.

Six hundred men, called the "Eu- choltmea, attached to the court ol the Celtic king or the Sotlnns, form ed one of the strangest bodies nt men ever known In history. A royal company of kingly comrndes, they cho to be the king's companions In life and In death. Each of them was tended like a king. All of them lived with the kins and ate with him. All wore kingly garments. But they had one gruesome duty to their king whn he died they riled and accompanied him to the grave. j Tie strange will above was hastily drawn by Francisco Bosch snort ly before he died In Los Angeles. By Its terms he left $1600 to a life long friend. Officials examined It with a microscope and admitted tt to probate In court. The writing cov ered the bottom and ends of a match box. Inmates of the Phoenix, Alabama Jail experience the strange status of living nt home and being In Jull at the same time. They sleep nt home, have breakTast ind dinner there, but come to Jail In the day time. If they want any lunch they have to bring it with them. Peter of Blois, noted aa an author and traveler, was a man of remark able learning. He knew civil nd canon law, something of medicine and was well acquainted with Latin classics. In dictation one secretary was not enough. He employed three, dictating different lettera to each of them at the same time and still had time to pen a fourth letter, himself.
