That it might be better for us to break it off. Kezia sat bolt upright. He would go back to Ellen! . . . People would say he had thrown her over! . . . She had a feeling for Jerry that no one else had ever stirred. He brought a swift challenge to her. He was elusive; he never satiated her with his dependence. Jerry guided the car to a bumpy pause on the shoulder of the road, switched off the ignition. Come here, he said gently; He gath- ered her in his arms, laid his cheek against hers. She cares . . . my little Kezia cares, he whispered. She felt his lips tremble as they touched hers. You want to give me up! No, Angel, no! I love you you know I do. Youve been horrid. He gave a despairing gesture. It seems so hopeless. We wont allow it to be hopeless. He was silent for a moment, keeping his arms tightly about her. No? he questioned. Another long Have you pause then he said, anything to suggest? We might live with Mother. Life was very dreary, thought Kezia, when you couldnt have what you wanted! And Jerry was the right combination for her. Just the way his hair went back was invested with a certain quality of emotion; the sulky fullness over his dark eyes sent warm waves up her arms into her shoulders. She was caught up in that attribute of youth which drives for what it wants, mistakes or not, the imperious urge which cannot wait for wisdom. Yes, we could live with Mother, she said a little more firmly. The hesitation on Jerrys face Yes, thats a thought deepened. to hold to! . . . Have Hugh patronize me? He wouldnt.

He might do something, said No matter Jerry thoughtfully. how good you are, its pull and family that put a fellow up. Ive seen it happen too many times not to know. And if I made just a little more say forty or fifty a week youd be willing to try it. Love' liness? Kezia nodded, her eyes like stars. He started the car. They drove 'for a mile or so when the headlights swept a sign cn a curve of the hill: Brookline. Marriage Licenses. No Waiting. Kezia smiled to herself as she turned it over in her mind. Why, it actually stood there as if it were suggesting a. way for them! There ' to it. She might be advantages chuckled a little and he turned to her inquiringly. I was thinking about that sign on the hill the one about marriage licenses. What about it? Think! " she commanded. Then tell me if you are thinking the same thing I am.

He drove with one hand slowly while his right arm encircled her. And Id have you for keeps, darling Kezzie! In Brookline which was just over the Pennsylvania border, it was not difficult to be directed to the frame house of John Bascome, the marrying squire. He was a small man, with a round head, and close-se- t eyes. He looked greedily pleased at their appearance, surveyed them with quick speculation, and exacted a good sized fee from Jerry before he asked the necessary questions. He would have the marriage license made out and would mail it to them in a day or so. His wife and daughter appeared as witnesses. her sisters home in Forest Hills and went to live in Philadelphia where Cun had secured a positiora Hugh frequently was invited tA dinners at the houses of his friends, parties which were dull 6r lively according to the company.

In the United States, any person, while alive, cannot be depicted on American stamps, states a writer in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Several years ago a member of the British House of Lords suggested that the portrait of King George on British stamps 'be substituted with views of English scenery. The dignified listeners were shocked. To remove the kings portrait was considered an insult. The suggesting member sat down in disgrace. Britains custom has been to reproduce only the likeness of the ruler on every postage stamp. In Rumania, King Carol, in the midst of important governmental discussions, ordered the postmaster general of his country to make certain that whenever a cancellation is applied to a stamp bearing the kings picture it must be applied lightly so as not to deface the por- trait. " The negro republic of Haiti issued a set of stamps in 1887 with a portrait honoring President Salomon. A short time afterward an uprising forced Salomon to flee to , Cuba, in peril of his life. , The new party in power was at a loss for different postage stamps: The only type on hand were those bearing the deposed rulers portrait. As there was little money in the Haitian treasury to purchase new stamps the old ones were ordered used. But one restriction governed the use of the stamps. They must be placed upside down 01. every letter, package or mailing piece. If the stamp was placed upright the receiver had to pay double postage as the government believed that stamps in such a position honored a man who no longer ruled, and, therefore, such stamps had no value unless they were placed upside down. This condition applied Until Haiti was able to obtain new stamps. Afghanistan issued the most grotesque stamps of all time, in the years 1870 to 1891. Each issue was printed in black. The deepness of the color made it impossible for the postal employees to determine the condition of the stamp as the canceling ink was barely visible. The stamps were cancelled thereafter by tearing a piece from them when mailed. Largest Man in Congress Dixon H. Lewis, who served several terms in the house of representatives from Alabama and in 1844 was appointed a senator from the same state is said to have been the largest man who ever sat in congress. He was so large that special chairs had to be made for his use. Although his exact weight is not recorded, tradition says he weighed more than 500 pounds. and their complete lack of reverence for glamorous stars frequently Next to the suffering of them who have not stands the want of joy of them who have.

When Jack had to bow out of his usual Sunday night radio appearance because of flu, Wilson subbed for him and threatened to sing.
