Copyright by Macrae Smith Co. WNO Service SYNOPSIS Kezia Marsh, pretty, selfish and twenty, arrives home in Corinth from school and is met by her older brother, Hugh. He drives her to the Marsh home where her widowed mother, Fluvanna, a and understanding soul, welcomes her. Kezias sister, Margery, plump and matronly with the enre of three children, is at lunch with them. Hughs wife, Dorrie, has pleaded a previous engagement. On the way back to his job at the steel plant founded by one of his forebears, Hugh passes Doc Hiller, a boyhood friend whom he no longer sees frequently because of Dorries antipathy. Fluvanna Marsh wakens the next morning from a dream about her late husband, Jim, whose unstable character she fears Kezia has inherited. Soon Ellen Pendleton comes over. She is an artistically inclined girl who is a distant niece of Fluvannas and a favorite of Hughs. She happily tells Fluvanna she bas become engaged to Jerry Purdue. Ellen fears that her father and mother, Gavin and Lizzie, will not approve the match. warm-hearte- CHAPTER II Continued 4 So then ' Im ? going to throw a big din- ner, have them all this Friday night. Suit you? Hugh hesitated. Youd like it, wouldnt you? she challenged. Id like having them here of course, but I wish it were because you wanted them. Not a concession to my feelings. Dorrie turned her head to one side and looked at the willow tree. After a moment she said with slow sulkiness: Youd better take it the way I do it. He watched her with puzzled pain, watched her until he saw, the coldness melt from her face, and another emotion come over it.

She stood there, waiting for him to say more. The expression of her face was veiled, but he felt a vitality flow from her, a current of something indefinable. Do you want to go?

Cun Whitney was of medium height, florid, and with curly brown hair. He was cheerful, talkative, and had an amazing vitality. He was restless, liked to go places, be with people; he was full of visionary schemes for making money which he never followed through. He was an excellent salesman, succeeding through sheer charm of manner and enthusiasm, but had been out of work since the November before. He was thoughtful and kind to his friends, and when Hugh had been laid up with influenza the winter before, had sat up with him all one night. Joan was small, with an olive complexion, straight black hair which she dressed severely, and great smoky gray eyes with thick-blac- k lashes. Hurry up, she called as Hugh and Dorrie came down the walk, CALIF.

This would be an excuse for the unthoughted to say that the Scots always had a reputation for being close and now are becoming still closer. To me, though, the main question i s whether Scotland is going to bring England along with her. Among themselves, at least, the Scots have always had the reputation of bringing England along through the centuries. And if you dont believe it ask any true Scot. By the way, Ive noticed one outstanding difference between the two greatest groups of the Celtic race. To an Irishmans face you can joke about Ireland and he remains calm. But poke fun at an individual Irishman and you are hunting for trouble and probably will soon be hunting for a doctor. Inversely you may jibe a Scot and get away with it. But just say the least little thing in derision of his native land and youd better start running. Were not to be out late! called Husbands orDorrie, mockingly. ders! v Just before we started!
