Between worrying over her RUT, Mazie, D i ' l comfort and fussing about the safety of that old cowhide trunk, home becomes a place of torment for me instead of a haven of rest." And then Mazie, whose bobbed crown of glory was decidedly of the shade beloved by Titian, and with a temper to correspond, replied thus: If you were properof ly interested in the welfare to want keep youd family your Aunt Tibby here all the time! Do you fancy that she herself would be so particular about that old cowhide trunk, as you are pleased to call it, if it didnt contain valuables? She told me no, I won't say she exactly told me, but she gave me to understand, and, I know all the family have the same impression that in it she carries her stocks and bonds. She has bequeathed the trunk to the one in whose home she happens to die. exclaimed Bert, putMazie ting his arms around his wife, waiting for dead mens shoes is sorry business! Do what you can for your aunt without ifiaking your family unhappy, but put all such ideas as youve just men- 1 y. After the funeral the relatives who had gathered from far and near demanded that the will be read at once. So the old cowhide trunk was brought down to the living room and opened ir. the presence of' all. It contained Uncle David's army uniform, a few books, half a dozen packages of old newspapers and a long letter written by Aunt Tibby herself. This was addressed to her relatives in general and was a sort of confession. In it she stated that her income since Uncle Davids death had been limited to a pension of $6 a month. That in some way the story had been circulated that this old trunk contained valuables and she had never contra-- Early in Depression It became apparent that permanent recovery was a world-wid-e proposition. Thus, since 1931, each year has brought an International Management congress which woos international prosperity through means that have thus far failed to win international peace, namely, cooperation. To Washington for this years congress came 2,000 executives and management experts. But a fortnight ago, after the first days session, it was plain that the weight of American delegates would change an impersonal discussion of business ills into a field day for protests against what U. S. industry considers its No. 1 foe, the New DeaL From Frances Alex Brule came the simple analysis that most of management's problems are reducible to human problems. Germanys Dr. Gorg Seebauer was interested in the social aspects of scientific management But one U. S. speaker after another found reason to lay American business ills at the White House door. Samples: man dieted it, fearing if she told the truth some one might put her in an old ladies home, an institution she detested. She trusted her relatives would pardon her and that the old trunk would be kept for her sake; that it might prove a magic casket to the owner, just as it had to her. The trunk was left with Mazie, as she was the only person who displayed the least desire to possess it. After everyone had departed she threw her arms around her husbands neck and cried, Oh, Bert, can you ever forgive me? Judging by the sigh of contentment she uttered Berts answer was satisfactory. Aunt Tibby was right; the trunk did prove a magic casket for Mazie. It stood in the upstairs hall where she had to pass it many times a day and whenever she was seized with envy, stubbornness or a desire for finery she could not afford, one glance at the old trunk was sufficient to dispel such feelings in a twinkling.
