Pattern No Name Address Spreading News in Tibet In Tibet news is read aloud by the priests to the populace. There are two reasons for this: Few Tibetans can read, and only 50 copies of their one newspaper are printed. Walter Asboe, a European, does the job on a hand press. Then he sends the 50 papers to the lamas or priests, who summon the people of the neighboring villages to listen to the news. The papers are then forwarded to another group of lamas. By the time they have traveled to the far frontiers of Tibet, the news may be from six months to two CHAPTER X and still Sybil had not come home. What had she meant by that note saying "something terrible had happened?" "She never trusted Karl." Joan spoke fearfully. Paul was looking out of the window. "He's not there now. Whatever happened to Sybil had nothing to do with Karl personally. He hasn't been out of sight all evening. Of course there are plenty of others working with him." "Karl said that everyone at the Club Elite was involved. Is that One-thirt- 10 y true?" "I'm afraid so. Karl is too clever to take any chances." "But what does he actually do?" Paul thrust his bands into his pockets and stared at the fire. "I'm not sure of all his activities and I have no proof, but he is suspected of transferring plans of bombing planes and munition plants to other foreign agents. He's working with someone else, of course." "Remember that freighter Karl took me to and later sent me to with package?" "Maybe establishing refueling bases for submarines.1) "Not here!" Joan cried. "No. Probably in the South I don't know yet." Joan sighed. "I always wanted adventure but I certainly didn't expect it to take this form."

You tried to warn me, so did Sybil Their eyes met Two o'clock and Sybil was still out "I'm going," Paul said, rising, "and you'd better get some sleep. I'll be by for you at Karl's orders, you know." He smiled "It's fortunate for both grimly. of us." "I'm not going to bed until Syb comes," Joan insisted. "Oh, yes you are! You need your sleep. Tomorrow is going to be a tough day. You've got to be clicking on all cylinders. Both our lives re at stake. You can't afford to make a slip. If Karl ever finds out, we'll end up just like Eric." "Don't say that! Oh Paul, I've been such a fooL I loved him . . ." He patted her shoulder. "We all make mistakes," he said comfortingly. When be had gone she tried to obey his instructions. She went to bed and tried to sleep. But the grandfather's clock bad chimed before she three, then three-thirt- y slept a fitful doze. It was a little after six when she awoke. "Sybil!" she called hysterically. but there was no reply. Her sister's bed was untouched. Joan got up,' shivering in the cold of the December morning. She went into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee. What had happened to Sybil? "I've got to keep my head," she thought desperately, pouring the coffee with shaking hands. "But I feel so helpless." Paul arrived and At took Joan to the Club Elite. "Now remember," he said as be parked the car, "we're not friends. Ignore me. And watch your step." "I'll do my best" Joan said grimly. But it was not easy to walk into this office, to see Karl sitting at his desk with the familiar red carnation in his buttonhole, the same smile that had once endeared him to her. With shaking hands she removed her hat and coat and sat down at her desk. "Paul tells me you have decided to be sensible," Karl commented. "What else can I do?" She paused for a moment then burst out "What have you done to my sister?" Karl regarded her with apparent "Sister? What do you surprise. c. ..." one-thirt- y. one-thir- ty mean?"

Now the Whites have come to a difficult crossroads, and they can't agree. Father White is a man of strong will, and he needs it at this moment, for Mother, Jean and Rob junior are leagued against him. Father, flatly and simply wants to go on as they are. That is his entire platform. Jean. and Mother, somewhat indifferently abetted by Rob, want to rent the house, move to a smart apartment, go in modestly for entertaining, and give Jean the chance her friends will have of meeting the right people and going the right places. Doesn't Like Their Home. Robert White's income is $4,000 a year. Olive, his wife, began a budget when it was little more than half that and they bought the house nine years ago. It is a square house with trees and a front garden, a double garage, four bedrooms and two baths, living-roostudy, -room, kitchen, two fireplaces off and a small, sunny dining-ingl- e the kitchen. women out of evTo ninety-nin- e ery hundred it would represent luxury. But to Jean White it is just perfectly horrible and commonplace and she wishes it would burn down. The Whites pay $62.50 a month for interest on a $5,000 mortgage, home insurance and amortization. Robert White pays $40 a month for life insurance. The table costs an even hundred a month, and the services of Amanda Johnson, about $35 more. Young Rob comes home ravenous every day, and makes incredible inroads on bread, jam and butter, drinking exactly a quart of chocolate milk as he does so. Jean brings nice hoarse boys to dinner, and they never refuse a second cut of beef or pie. The wreckage these young persons can cause in a case of soft bottled drinks is unbelievable; Jean calls upstairs, "Mother, may we open this can of ham and have these eggs?" And what can Olive call back but "Of course, darling, what else are they there for?" , Coolly Incidentals. Home, food and insurance and service therefore consume half the income. Above and beyond these are the Incidentals that all budget keepers abhor because they sound so insignificantly small and add up so brutally big. Incidentals mean telephone and long distance calls, tailor, laundry, cleaner, clothes, shoes, dentist doctor, church, movies, theater, clubs, newspapers. magazines, gasoline and cleaning of the car, flowers, stamps no one of them terrifying, but the whole mass unspeakably depressing. The Whites owe various small bills now, for the first time In their lives; Jean belongl to a ski club, nd that costs money, and Rob had to have an emergency apendectomy. These bills fret the man of the house; he and his wife both thought them "somewhere around two hun dred" until thev added them up the The whose father wrote this letter is a spoiled child.

Jean and her mother think the time has come to borrow a good round sum, rent the house, and move to one of the beautiful new apartments just finished in the smartest part of town. The square, corner of the big drawing-rooin these apartments, its white-bricfireplace and indirect lighting more than reconcile Jean to the fact that she would have to take for her own what was designed for a servant's room, and that none of the White's furniture would be suitable in the place. Only chromium pipe, white leather and crystal furnishings k would fit there. The rent is $175 but Jean argues that the old house would rent tot a hundred anyway. And she does so want with tears and smiles and kisses how she wants! to entertain in the new place, to have that address on her writing paper, to have "fun" with the others of her crowd until she gets married.
