She felt her mouth stretch in a mechanical smile. He bent to kiss her. She lifted her face. A redcap, carrying luggage, bumped into them so that his lips, glancingly, touched her cheek. "We must find a taxi." She did not look at him. "I didn't bring a car." His hand cupped her elbow but she led the way. A porter followed with his luggage. "Did you have a good trip?" she asked after an interval of silence. "Not bad. We were on time." "I'm sorry I was delayed. I left the apartment in time but traffic was heavy." "That's all right I haven't waited long." They stood waiting for the porter to call a taxi. "How are you?" he asked. She glanced up at him, then quickly away. "Splendid, thank you.

"You aren't like your mother, except in certain superficial points of physical resemblance." She looked at him, considering, looked away. "Have I offended you?" he asked, realizing that he had spoken with more warmth than the comment required. "I didn't mean Your mother is charming. "I wasn't offended." She took his hand in hers.

Mother is really very logical When places or people bore her she sees no reason why she should pretend that they meas anything to her. She was bored with Dad and so she divorced him and married Major Summerfield." "You mean Mr. Cameron is her third husband? I heard her speak of a Major Summerfield at dinner, but I had no idea" "She's on friendly terms with both Dad and the Major," Gay said but her smile wavered a little. "She doesn't dislike them because they bored her. She was very sorry to have had to hurt them but she saw no reason in continuing a relationship which was no longer agreeable.

(TO BE CONTINUED) 1 Louisiana Surveyors Tackle Tough Problem General land office surveyors of Louisiana have undertaken a task forced upon them by "a natural phenomenon" more than a century and a half ago. Long before the Red River valley became populated with planters, the sluggish river was blocked by trees falling into the water and gradually stacked up in rafts. The waters of the river backed into bayous and into natural land The formations, forming lakes. problem of the authorities today is who owns the lakes? Detailed accounts of the beginning of the log jam are lacking in general land office records, but one report estimates that the raft in the Red river grew at the rate of one pemile a year during the riod between 1793 and 1828. Other reports of an exploration in 1806 tell of one obstruction in the river "forming an almost impenetrable mass, which extends from the bottom to two or three feet above the surface of the water, a thick ness of 30 to 40 feet" and stretch ing up the river for nearly 300 yards Removal of the obstruction wa begun in 1873.
