V i n ii ill in i t, WSTKINl YESTERDAY: Lactnla hat Just about forewarn men lor her ca reer tn a big department store, end partly to please her Aunt Dorcas, who Is one of those wo men who dig up relics and hum big pame. But today Lavinia u out With Freddy, because Freddy has a car and can save her a long subway ride. For Lavinia, much to the disauest of Zoe, her room mate, wants to visit both the Bronx Zoo and the Brooklyn Museum, And Freddy only wants to have a drive, and dinner. Chapter Five Slack Of Bones THEN, searching Freddy's face, ha said: ."Freddy, tell me aomethlng?" "Sure, Lavinia what la It?" "Do you take the Armworth girls out in alphabetical order?" "That's a heck of a thing to ask man." "Well, all I know la that you take a lot of them out And it would seem that you're going through the alphabet again. Zoe beginning with Z, you know and now me. You've gotten back to the L's again." "It happens that I like the eom- Fany of girls," said Freddy. "And like you more than any of the others "Are you aura It's not your vanity that motivates you, where And then he I'm concerned?" aald Lavinia. "1 mean being a man you couldn't bear to have a girl hold out against your charm. And because I did hold out, it well, it fired your determination, or stubborn ness, or whatever you want to call It" "Listen, Lavinia. you're talking lot of rot,'' Freddy said. "You've been reading too many books. And let me tell you something. Never so in for analysis when with a man, or you'll kill all the romance in the end." "That's exactly what I want to ao, sam Lavinia. btie drank tne last of Iter soda, and pushed back her chair. "That was nice and re freshing Freddy, Thanks, a lot" "Herei where we depart for Brooklyn, I take It," laid Freddy Without enthusiasm. "Yes." said Lavinia, "it Is, And you're being terribly nice to me driving me over there." "Forget it!" said Freddy with sharpness in his voice. Bow About Food? BACK downtown, across the bridge, and on to the Brook lyn Museum. A guard told La vinia where she would find the skeletons she sought and she hur ried off, Freddy trsiling along beside her, feeling rather like a lot of excess baggage. "Oh, look!" Lavinia exclaimed. "A perfect specimen of Dino sauria!" She pointed to a skeleton that towered high above them a skyscraper of bones that made Freddy fsirlv shudder. "And. for goodness sake, it used to roam around down In Worth Carolina. And I've been thinking you had tn go thousands of miles to Snd them!" "North Carolina!" Freddy ex claimed. "Don't tell me a mess o' bones like that once roamed my native state?" "It says so right here," said Lavinia, motioning to a framed description which stood nearby. "It was also found in Mississippi. But this one is a beauty." "If that thing's a beauty," said Freddy. "I'm Robert Taylor." Lavinia paid no attention to such Irrelevence, and moved on to another skeleton. She appeared to be fascinated, as she gazed at one monstrosity after another. And as she gazed at the monstros ities, Freddy gazed at her puz zled, wondering. Sometimes he caught himself thinking that La vinia was probably putting on an act. And then when ner exclama tions sounded so sincere, hi didn't know what to think. An hour passed. Another one Started. "Lavinia," Freddy said, Tve Jot a corn, snd walking on these ard floors is killing me. How about some outdoors, and some food?" AS RAID SIGNALS New York, Jan. 8.

"I must come over here again when I have more time. And if Aunt Dorcas ever cornel back to the States, I'll bring her over." "What for?" said Freddy. "She couldn't shoot a stack of bones or could she?" "It happens," said Lavinia with Dignity, "that Aunt Dorcas has helped dig up specimens Just like these." "Why?" "Because she was employed by a group sent out by some mu seums. Didn't 1 show you the ar ticle about her in The Geographi cal News?" "No." "Well that told about some of her experiences. Besides, I've got a snapshot of her showing her pulling a bone out of a pile of dirt I'll show it to you some time" "Do that," said Freddy, "by all means. But just now I'd like T-bone steak. Do you mind?" "No." said Lavinia. "I'm begin ning to get hungry myself." 'That,1' said Freddy, "is the sanest thing you've said all af ternoon." The Kiss ITTHEN they were out of the Museum, Freddy took a deep breath The open air felt invig orating after bei..g shut up in a kissed her building with a lot of musty, dead things. He threw back his head, and broke into song. Lavinia watched him. thinking that he wasn't at all bad-looking, and wondering Just what sort of a wife he had. He must have been married awfully young, or else he hadn't had his wife with him very long. She fought a purely feminine curiosity, an urge to ask Freddy some questions about iiimself and Mrs. Rand. But she didn't It was none of her business, and for years she had been training her self not to do the purely feminine thing. "There's a place near the ocean," Freddy said, "where we can dance in between courses. How sbout it?" "I'm a terrible dancer," said Lavinia. "You don't look like that sort of a person." ssid Freddy. "I've been too busy trying to make a living and go places in business to le.irn dancing, and bridge and things like that" "Well, no time like the present to start learning," Freddy told her. "We'll try some steps and I've a hunch you underestimate your social graces." But he wss wrong. Lavinia didn't underestimate tier social graces. She was a terrible dancer, and she did Freddy's corn no good. He was astonished. He hadn't believed that any girl of today could be so utterly useless on a dance floor. "I warned you," Lavinia said, when she found herself out of step for the 'tteenth time. "Let's go back to the table." "Okay," said Freddy, relieved. And when they were seated, he said: "You ought to take some lessons. Dancing always comes in handy, in case you go to a hotel or something for a vacation. You'll have a dull time of it if you don't dance and play bridge. Men will shun you like lord knows what." "Which wont bother me In the least," said Lavinia. "1 generally spend my vacations at some quiet place where 1 can get caught up on all the newest hooks." "I see." said Freddy dryly. "You prefer to read sbout ro mance, and not live it." "Romance doesn't interest me, printed or otherwise," said La vinia. "You might as well know now as any time, Freddy, that I intend to go on tn the business world. And sentiment and busi ness never mix." They went out to where Fred dy hid parked his car. Freddy looked around. He saw that no one was nearby. And he took La vinia in his arms and kissed her. Ta be eenUnaed tions would give warning In cities with high buildings, better than sirens of the kind em ployed In low-ceilingrd London, these engineers believe. The bombs would produce red flashes as well as loud explosions audible over wide areas, and at night would send up clouds of red smoke. Short er explosions, accompanied by green flashes or green smoke would mean "all clear." Clowns time (or Cloutried Ant a. m.

The exact cause of this phenomenon was In doubt, until the discovery that the streamers of "fog" were produced by the condensation of exhaust gases when the aircraft entered super-saturated sones in the clouds, 20 to 30 thousand feet up.
