are you staying?" be asked ab
ruptly.
"With Margery Craig-, on Elm'
wood."
"Then 11 you're going out now
I'll drive you. It'a right on my way
borne."
She hesitated, and then laughed.
"I ought to ttart getting uaed to
Itreet cars and busies, but I'll wait
till July. Thanks a lot
In the car he put off bit bruskness
like a cloak, "Listen here, Carol,"
bis vol co was earnest, "this Isn't
going to be any bed of roses."
She shrugged. "What 1st"

it tor her, especially since she'd
probably have to sign a year's lease.
He had half a dozen places listed
that ought to suit her; be'd b
tickled to death to take her around
In the morning.
Carol accepted promptly. A year's
lease would be one more argument
against the soporlflo effect of Mere

she was attempting to forge. Sh
and Margery and Harry began tbeli
search the next morning.
Harry was In high spirits. He was
a very definite type; easy-going and
witty and Incurably enthusiastic,
Not even the last tour years In real
estate had quenched his gaiety, and
In his presence Margery recaptured
something of her earlier zest. The?
spent most of the morning laughing.
Between Inspections Harry kepi
up a barrage of chatter. He had Just
come back from a business trip to
New York, and Carol suspected that
New Tork must have enjoyed Harry
as much as Henry enjoyed New
York.
He atopped the car before a bit
apartment building, and his manner .

"You may want to wring my neok," said Blake,

He gave up. The gosture of protest
had at least eased his conscience.

Both of them did menial arith

the same conclusion: that sixty or

apologetic and Carol sensed lr

giviuas on his part, "and that ought
to airman tne butter and Jam."
She didn't add that the Income
would continue to go Into the family
exchequer unless she found It really
essential; he waa too obviously re
lieved to learn of Its existence. He
nodded.
"Thank God for that. In that case
you cat probably get along."
They bad turnod Into the Him
wood section, and Blake was look
ing for bouse numbers.
"On the right," Carol said. "The

He stopped the car and got out;
held out his hand. "Till July, then."
She gave him her hand. "I'd like
to tell you how grateful I am,
Blake. . , ."
"Skip It Before long you may
want to wring my neck."
"Or you may want to wring mine!"
They laughed.
THE sensible thing. Harry Craig

"Perfect so far," Carol admitted.
"But probably too darn neat for my
pocket-book."
"You'd be surprised." He led the

KTUMBER 620 was a big living

overlooking the golf course. Tbt
scanty furniture had no ebaracter,

"It la nice, Harry. Now tell me

Forty smackers And tor the
money you can't tie It anywhere else
In town."
She calculated rapidly. Forty from
one hundred. . . . But the place wat
perfect for her, and she preferred
pleasant quarters even It It meant
less to eat Nothing bolstered ono'i
morale and one'a self respect si
much as go6d surroundings.
What does that Include?"
Heat and water snd refrlgera,

gery. "1 do love a woman who can
make up her mind. Come on. and
we'll look at the pool and tbi

She signed the lease that morn-
Ing. In view of her understanding
with Blake Thornton a year's least
was madness, but she waa desper
ately tired of tanlty. If I lose my
Job snd can't And another, she
thought I'll quit struggling and go
home to a pleasant decline. At least
I'll have this oft my chest . . .
Thst afternoon she caught a train
for Meredith. Before her loomed tbt

and the twins, and beyond that the
future wat a book with uncut pages,

Ralnbow Division
Seeking a fitting name for the 43nd
United States Infantry division, Gen
eral MacArthur, the unit's chief of
staff, suggested the name "Rainbow
Division" tn denote the fact that It
waa composes or national guard
memoers irom each state in the un
ion. Little did the men who accepted
the name visualize how appropriate
It waa to become.
Strange as It aeems, over the field
of action of every major battle or
event during the world war in which
the "Rainbow Division" participated,
a rainbow appeared In the sky. The
re-occurring phenomenon did fcot
end with the wai, however, for at
each annual reunion of the division
alnee. a rainbow haa been plainly
viaiDie.

Cemetery Rendezvous
Offered a free burial plot by the
naneign cemetery of Camden, N. J.,
Walt Whitman accepted the gift and
after careful selection, chose a spot
tor nis last resting place on a wood
ed hill.
So charmed was he with the spot
that he lmmedltaely had a tomb
built there, the workmen Inscribing
the year of construction 1890 on
It. Until his death two years later.
Whitman spent considerable time
sitting in the tomb, even inviting
guests tnere for conversatslons. Upon
his death. March 26. 189J, the date
was corrected.
