MORNING STAR
ay Makian Sims
o 27e home tia of Ed-
win. "'it' Emily Barnes was about
to develop into a state of armed
tietftrnlUi, when the prospect of an
heir changed everything. Emily has
something else to think of besides
Edwin's stodgtness, and Edwin is
so delighted anything goes or al
most anything. In tact, Emily finds
everything else in her life consid
erably changed. For the first time
she even can defy her managing
mother successfully.
Chapter St
EDWIN THE CEN80fl
nURPRlSINGLY. It was Dorothy
l Shane who proved to be Emily's
bulwark. Dorothy had married at
twenty and had one child, a boy of
even, ao that, as aha put It, "the
novelty bad about worn off."
But she bad In addition a catholic
and Irrepressible sense of humor,
and a remarkably sane outlook on
lite. She looked like a French doll
with her short black balr, tier bril
liant dark eyes, and wide, heavily
rouged mouth. Edwin disapproved of
her on principle and Dorothy was
quite aware of bis disapproval and
quite unimpressed by It.
"I wonder why It Is that husbands
and wives never like the same peo
ple?" sbe laughed to Emily. "After
you're married you don't go wltb the
people you each like; you go with
the people yon can both atand!"
She formed a habit of dropping In
almost dally, and Emily came to en
joy her more than anyone la Elston.
Dorothy, like Charlotte, usually un
derstood what you meant.
"You'll have to help me keep my
sense of proportion and my sense of
humor," Emily said one day. To her
self she thought, "What a frail reed
I am; 1 don't seem to be able to do
anything without aupporWrom some
outside source."
Dorothy smiled affectionately. "1
will. 1 will run you ragged."
Edwin came In Just then, and
greeted Dorothy with unbending po
liteness. Sho crushed out herclgaret
and rose.
"Heavens, Is it time for husbands
to be coming home? Mine Is prob
ably on the verge of apoplexy on a
downtown corner, wondering why J
haven't come for him."
Edwin saw her to her car, then
cams back and kissed his wife.
"1 wlsb you wouldn't see so much
of her," be said.
"Why not?"
"Sho's too fast."
"How do you know?" Emily de
manded stornly. "Has she been fast
with you?"
He was so horrified that she al
most laughed aloud. "Of course notl
But 1 happen to know that she
smokes Incessantly and drinks too
much and loses a lot at cards."
Emlly'a eyes were wistful. "How
lntoresttng that would be for a
change!"
He stared at her In consternation.
At tlmcB the strain upon his rever
ence for Motherhood was terrific.
"Have you lost your mind?"
"Not yet, darling. Dorothy Is one
of the best safeguards against In
sanity that 1 know of." ,
I don t caro," he Insisted. "I don't
think sho's a nt companion for for
you."
She had boon good for a long time,
and she couldn't resist releasing one
dart.
"Are you afraid she'll corrupt
your child?"
Edwin Hushed hotly. "I believe
you'd be sarcastic at the Bar of
Heaven!" he cried.
Suddenly she was ashamed of her
outburst, because teasing Edwin was
such an unsporting thing to do: like
shooting a partridge on the ground.
Edwin was quite as bowildored and
dofonselcss as the partridge. She
held out her hands to bim.
"My dear, I'm ashamed of myself!
This must be corroding my disposi
tion. Why don't you lock me up?".
Once more ho was the forgiving,
protecting male. "Of course I
a-ouldn't I was thinking of your own
food; that's all."
airs. Sensing a steady income Rosa
bud's father had renewed bis atten
tions, and been severely snubbed.
"He done ast me to ma'y him,"
she announced proudly to Emily.
"But 1 ain't got no notion o' doln'
it. I'm tl'ed o' pants."
"As long as you're getting along
so well 1 wouldn't think of It," Emily
advised her.
Narcissus sniffed. "1 ain't studyln'
it. I knows when I'se well off."
As her position Improved she had
also developed social ambitions, and
her account of her nrst party was a
high spot in Emily's day.
1 used them papub plates youall
had on yo' picnic las' week," she con
flded proudly.
Emily looked startled. "You did?"
"Yas'm. 1 washed 'em up so they
looked lak new." Her shoe-button
eyes twinkled. "I toT everybody Mis'
Felton brought 'em te me from Bfr-
mln'ham."
Emily laughed. "What kind of
party did you have?"
A Sllvub Sllppub party. I called
It that," she explained, "aftuh the
swell dance ball in Blrmln'bam. Tbe
gues's come at ten an' let' at two."
But why such late hours?" She
understood now why Narcissus bad
fallen asleep the next day with her
bead on the kitchen table.
'Cause tha'a whut time the Sll-
vuh Sllppuh entertains."
Emily maintained her composure.
'I see. And what did you do for
amusement?"
At firs'," Narcissus said compla
cently, "they pinned the tall on the
donkey. 1 give two prizes to' that
a high prize an' a low one."
Emily thought of the bridge prizes
and Christmas presents In her trunk.
Why didn't you tell me? 1 could
have found some prizes for you."
I had two you done gimme," sbe
confessed. "I used them."

fare up her walks and her visits,
ind sat In the spray-cooled shade of

irought her glasses of Iced milk or

log-like devotion.

The vlctrola was paid for now. and

'A han'chlef In a box for the high

So that was what had bocome of

And after you'd pinned the tail, on
the donkey, what did you do then?"
"They Jos projeckted aroun- awhile
an' then they eL 1 had the back yard

Emily had to laugh then, but Nar

Yas'm. They had a awful good

Emily wanted to hear more, but
Narcissus romembored her duties.
"Good Lo'd, Miss Emily, It's neah
'bout time fo' Mr. Edwin an' 1 ain't
even got my beans on." She turned
towards the bouse and then paused.
"I thought I might stuff them squash

Sho couldn't dnmpon Narcissus's
enthusiasm by tolling ber how

"That would be lino," sho said.
Edwin looked white and worn
from tho heat, she noticed as he
kissed her, and looking at his tired
face she felt a rush of pity for the
whole race of men.

didn't quite balance the score, be

realization that the whole structure
rested on him; that must be worse
than anything else.
And how Indignant Edwin would
have been If sbe had voiced her

She decided over tho luncheon to
broach tho subject of a trip. "Edwin.
darling, I wish you'd take a vocation."
Ho looked surprised. "I thought
you'd decided you'd be more com

"I did. I'm talking about you."
"You moan go alone?" He
couldn't Imagine going off on a

alone and holpless (he liked lo Ihlnit

"Yes. You need a vacation so bad

cian or dentist mnkes a new dis
covery thnt Is Beneficial In the
treatment of human Ills he Is bound
by tho ethics of his profession to an
nounce It to tho world with
out capitalizing upon It. A new
technique In dental Burgery must
be given freo to the profession nnd
the world. The discoverer's only re

otherwise would brand him as a

An engineer Is perfectly free to
patent and collect royalties on what
ever new machinery he designs, but
the surgeon who Invents a new In
strument Is honor-bound to publish
details of It to the profession. If
his Instrument Is manufactured and
sold at a profit to other members of
the profession he collects no royal
tics. There Is no legal basis for this
practice and a dentist or physician
who chooses to ignore It has a per-,
feet right to do so. But those who
follow the Ideals of their profession
accept this custom snd adhere to It.
Acccordlng to the Army Air Corps
technical data branch, top speed of
an alrplano propeller has been known
to reach 1030 feet per second during
n whirl test. Army experts believe
this speed may be exceeded during
power dives.
Muzzle velocities of rifle and pistol
ammunition ranges up to about 3000
feet per second. . A Colt .45 pistol
fires Its shot at 800 to 900 feet per
second. A .22 long rifle has a muzzle
velocity of about 1000 to 1100 feet
per second.
