PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 1, 1942. Vji, in in mini- iwiKiN YtSTtRDAY: Lactate made up her mind when she ui sixteen that men and love were not tor her aha would be a career girl and make a place for herself in the world She would aUo make her Aunt Dorcas proud of her. and show her thai the was not the only rucccssul tpoman in the family- But there are Freddy Rand, who trill not be downed, and Zoe Uorton, Lavinw's roommate, who Is de liberately encouraging Peter Raymond to propoie Chapter Two Men Are Poison "f'M letting my heart rule, not my mind," zoe said aortiy. "When you're In lovt yotf well you just don i minic. "Exactly!" said Lavinia triunv ohantlv. That'a iuit the nointl' She drew a deep breath. "Getting back to Pete; why, he doesn t make a penny more man you do. and hia chances of letting an in crease aren't nearly as good as yours. 1 heard tne floor manager say only the other day that you were one girl who really had what it taxes to make a success' ful saleswoman." "Saleswoman!" said Zoe. "I loathe the term It makes mt ill -it makes me sick it " "And another thing." Lavlnla continued, "if you and a lot of other girls spent one-tenth the time Improving your minds that you spend try in g to improve your looks, you'd be a lot better oil." "But think of the fun we'd miss! said Zoe. "Besides, darling, men like Pete wouldn't give us a second look. Believe it or not, girls' minds mean absolutely nothing to men in general." "Which," said Lavinia, "strength ens my argument that they are poison. Zoe left the dressing table, and did a little dance step or two about the room, her chirron gown billowing out around her. "Just think," she said, her eyes shining, "Pete and an apartment all our ownl Small, perhaps, but with touches of modernism here and there, and some " "What, no geraniums blooming on the window sill?" said Lavinia. "Oh, shut up!" Zoe said. "You've got about as much sentiment in your makeup as that that lion bunting aunt of yours." "Leave Aunt Dorcas out of It," Lavinia flared. "Most apartments in the Bronx do have geraniums In their windows or so I've been told. And that's where Pete will probably take you to live. Isn't It?" "Just at first, maybe. When things improve we'll move some where else." "Suppose Pete doesn't get raises that things don't Improve. It often happens, you know. What then?" "We'll go on living In the Bronx." "Suppose there's a baby or Illness?1" "For heaven's sake, Lavlnla, do stop trying to take all the joy out of life!" "I'm only trying to make you aee what a gamble it is marrying Pete." "Thankil I'm free, white, and twenty-three, and I know my way round." "I wonder," said Lavinia with a shrug. Zoe wslked over to the bed, and stood looking down at the other girl. "I know how you feel, Lavi nia" she said gently. "About men your Aunt Dorcas wanting to make her proud of you, and all that. But, believe me, darling, take my advice, and enjoy the company of men now and then." She motioned Lavinia to silence when she started to speak. "Just a moment, please. Let me finish. You may think pretty low of men. and romance but where would we be, you and I, If there had been no men and romance? You'll end up in a women's hotel, if you go on treating men as you do and I can't think of anything more awful than that! Horriblef Mix ing with a lot of females who try to look happy because they are independent, but longing with all their hearts for husbands and homes. Independent of men? Oh, lure and so what?" "Are you asking me?" said La vinia. "No, I'm telling you," said Zoe. "You dry up you shrivel you get eccentric ana neurotic, and" "My goodness, Zoe. you should get a soapbox and And a spot up at Columbus Circlel" Lavinia laughed. "I think it's a shame," Zoe kept on, "the way you treat Freddy Rand. He'a terribly fond of you. and you know it "A chaser." said Lavlnla. "Be sides, being a widower, he'll al ways be comparing Number Two with Number One. What Freddy really wants is a housekeeper, someone to dust the furniture he bought (or his first wife. It would be cheaper in the long run for him to get his housekeeper through an employment agency, and not through the marriage bureau." Zoe started to say something but changed her mind. She went out, closing the door none too gently bhind her. uinosanru EFT alone, Lavinia sat perfect- I J ly still for severs! moments, lost In thought Then presently Campaign la under way to place a minimum of a40.0CO.O0O In national defense savins bonds with V. 8 nary personnel and employ before August, 1M3.

Happy New Year from Stor for Man i Wchi - "'' mi i she got out of bed and went over to the dressing table where a short time before Zoe hsd stood dolling up for Peter Raymond. Sne bent down, studied her re flection. She fluffed her hair, tried it so that her eara showed, and then so that they didn't As she did so, she remembered what Freddy had said to her that after noon. "Men," she thought, "al ways getting mushy even during business hours." But even so. she again arranged tier hair so that her ears would be revealed. She then returned to the bed, and took a book from underneath the pillow. As she opened it she thought about her Aunt Vorcaa, and now proud she was going to be when she got a letter showing how much her one and only niece had learned about those outland ish creatures which one roamed the world. For some time she studied de scriptions of Dinossuria and Din otherium, trying very hard to re member that one group was said to have grown to the length of seventy feet and that the other group had been remarkable for its pairs of long tusks, which were directed downward from the low er Jaw. She looked up from the book, and her eyes fell upon a picture of her Aunt Dorcas that stood up on a console table. What a wo man! What a getter-around. "Run ning neck and neck with Mrs. Roosevelt, if you ask me!" Zoo had said. Lavinia smiled at th memory of that Then she reached down and took a heavy scrapbook from the lower part of the bedside table. It was full of clippings and snap shots of one Miss Dorcas Wilhel minia Prentiss. "Imagine fasten lng a name like that onto an inno cent infantl" Aunt Dorcas hsd once said. Lavinia turned page after page. Just Horror AND, Lavinia thought, not a bad - looking woman either. And the man standing beside her, gazing down into her face, was as romantic looking as a Hollywood actor. She had written this to Aunt Dorcas, when acknowledg. ing the letter in which the pic-, ture had been inclosed. "Don't be ailly, my dear niece," Aunt Dorcas had written in re ply. "The man you mention is charming, and all that but ha was listening to me tell sbout the time a boa constrictor Hrnrmprl down upon one of my guides. So you see the romantic look you thought you saw wasn't romantie at all but a look of horror!" Uood old Aunt Dorcas! No time) for romancel Funny things, women.

Stop talking nonsense," La vinia said. "Do you still want me to go out with you?" "Do I?" said Freddy. "Ye gods, Lavinia. haven't I been besnine you for ages?" now about Sunday afternoon?" "Splendid." "You've atill sot a car. haven't you?" "You bet I have, and she's all ahlned up." then will you call for me around two o'clock Sunday after noon.' "Be there with bells on." said Freddy.

"Heaven help me!" "Then I want to see the animals at the Zoo." "But, Lavlnla. the beach la much better for us, and we can even take a swim." "I'm sorry." said Lavlnla.
