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. OPl
Booming fireworks would signal
the approach of air raiders to
American cities under a plan
proposed by a (roup of sound
engineers.

"AH right," Lavinia said, turn
ing reluctantly away from a mass
of bones that didn't seem to make
sense. "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."

VAPOR TRAILS
Early in this war spectators on the ground noticed mysterious smoke trails high In the air
above England while dog fights were occurring. 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.
SNAKE BITE REMEDY
The alcohol In whiskey, if poured Into the wound left by the snake's fangs, has a certain
antiseptic affect while if imbib ed it increases the heart action and speeds the venom through
