Bhe hoe to get away trom Meredith before Meredith celt away iutth her, but the exglaine the matter differently to her very feminine mother. Hilly: to matter, of fact Jill and to artitllc Pat, her eney going brother, Pat taye good humoredly that Carol tt after Chapter Tiro GOLF TRUTHS "pHE trouble was, Carol knew, th.. there hadn't bees anyone In Meredith worth lifting a Anger for not since Bill Faraday. After Bill nothing but casual attractions. Boys and men who took you tn dances and movies, and kissed you when you telt like letting them, which wasn't often. She had liked a few of them had even played with the Idea of marrying one but she knew the at traction was only physical. Tou couldn't marry a man be cause he had a nice body and played beautiful golf and knew how to make love; not when you bad to conceal so carefully the tact that you were blessed, or cursed, with tw'" his Intelligence. as they take their flight feeling: that's what's giving everything special value right now." She looked at him lb astonish' merit. How could Fat know that. who had never been away? How could Pat, at twenty-one, know half the things he did know? "I may as well break down and admit," Carol said as they left the tee, "that you're my greatest worry. You're so dim smart you frighten me." His laugh was short and hard. "That's a fast one." "No It's not" She looked squarely at him; at his gaunt, beautifully chiselled face, with the Inevitable lock of straight fair balr hanging In bis eyes, "What d'you want to do. Pat? Paint act write?" He shrugged. "Whichever I'm not doing at the moment." THAT was Fat, of course. Grass was always greener In the other pasture. "I've been thinking about It a lot," she went on. "Assuming that some sngel put you on Broad way or In Hollywood (which they won't) you'd have to fight and claw your way up, and you'll never do It You'd have everything but the brass. and that's as Important as ability If not more so. And painting's still longer and harder, and likewise Ira possible here." iST"" -veaw-,. Pit played his saeond shot earalessly, faultlessly. Teara scorched Carol'a lids and her bands were clenched behind her back. God. this Is awful I she thought; I wonder If it's worth It? She left the hearth-rug and hunted down a clgarot, just to keep her face from the others; lit It and exhaled a cloud of thin blue smoke. With her back to them she said: "I think I'll wait a few months and see how I make out this time. I may not bo able to stand the gaff. In that case I'll borrow a leaf from Jill and take a business course. . . ." nAT sold finally, out of the silence that engulfed them all: "Well, let'a don't alt and look at the corpse. Who wanta to play a few holea of golf?" The atmosphere lightened at once. Even the room disliked unhapplness. Carol nodded. "Suite me." And Mllly said: "I'm not In the class with you children, but I'll take my book and sit on the porch." Tine." Pat waa convincingly hearty. "I'll give you ten minutes to get ready." Mllly and Jill were In the car when Carol came down. Jill had "The Paradlne Case" In her lap. and Mllly clutched "The March of De mocracy" with a do-or-dle expres sion. Pat trailed out, dragging para phernalia. "I love the way you all amble blithely out without even pulling the back door together. . , ," Unpleasantness waa behind thorn. Characteristically the Torranccs chose to ipnore It until September third, which was over three weeks away. Anything could happen In three weeks, even In Meredith. Hut when Carol and Pat were held up on (he second tee by a foursome he returned abruptly to the subject. "I'm going to miss you like the devil, Carol." Nostalgia awept her suddenly and treacherously. Homesickness for the things she still had and ntxt month would bSTe Do longer. "Doo't. Pu If I keep on feeling like i do sow, 111 fever leave." He tted her hand. "Sura you will. It's the only thing to do. Don't be fooled by this blessings-brighten-1 She ' addressed her ball and chipped dead. "1 know." Pat tapped his own ball carelessly and rimmed the cup. "That leaves writing." "Yes. (You stabbed at that, darn your) If you decide to stay on In Meredith It's your best chance. Do you want to stay here?" He shrugged. "Not much, but I will. I despise a city." Tbey reached the third tee and found a member of the foursome wandering aimlessly in the foot-high rough. "We'll have to go through," Pat decided. "It'll be dark In another six or eight hours." When they had driven Carol picked up the discussion. "1 think 1 do too, but I bate the almost In decent Intimacy of little towns. Hu man curiosity's Just as bad In a city, but you don't bars the same oppor tunity to gratify It." "No." Pat grinned acidly. "But you can degenerate so painlessly and even pleasantly In a little town. Look at Sam Lovell," he pointed out. "His mama left him her money and he hasn't lifted a hand since, except to pick up a bottle. He looks like a ripe hog, and he'a rotting so fast you can almost smell him, but be hasn't quite lost caste." She shivered. Pat's flair for de scription was pretty devastating at times, "well, nobody's left you any money, thank heaven. Are you going to write, or aren't you? I can go In poace If you give me your word." He stopped to play his second shot, carelessly, faultlessly, "I guess It'll be easier to write than to explain to you why I don't" "Is it a promise?" A long silence. Pat'a word was nover given lightly. "To the exclu sion of everything else?" "Everything but selling cars, yes. You know I'm right." Again the arid grin. "You usually are, damn HI Yes I promise." That was something. Carol felt that part of her Job, at least, waa done. . . , Jill and Mllly came down to watch them play the last hole, and tbey drove gaily home. In the face of separation they were more aggres sively united than ever. (Cooyright, IHi, by MaHan Simt) And Monday Carol (an the last f Don Rlcharda.

Immortal letli century French scientist, astounded the world by his experiments wtlh vaccines, lormcntatlon and Kenernl micro-organism rosearch, little was known about the properties of bac teria. No one knew what caused milk to sour, wine and beer to ferment. nd other foods to putrlfy. It waa only after years of painstak ing experimentation and research that Pasteur finally proved to the satis faction ot hla fellow scientists that these reactions were due to bactorlo. th senme kind of animal life that he nlfTyOU'LL HAVE el 3r wSlm better control! vTM IF V0U CHEW J mm hai alroady proved was the cause of many diseases. ' Even after he had converted the scientific world to the belief of his contentions, Pasteur still round it difficult to prove the fact that germs do not simply come to life out of the componenta of air or of decaying mat ter, but ore always born from other germs. Strange as It seems, hla experiment proving this still goes on more than 40 years after his death I Over 75 years ago he hermetically sealed number of flasks containing sterllej veal Drota and turned them over to the Pasteur Institute In Paris. To thie day. the broth remains perfectly pure and free of germs.
