Lia"ei"'ll ir':: ‘ There was seldom a day that Cul.. tiss and I were alone, for, at least once during each twertty-four hours. Letitia Evans managed to be there. She would drive by usually late in the afternoons and often stayed for din- ner, the one meal where we had any chance for conversation, as our break- fasts were brief affairs when Curtis; read the morning paper without say- ing a.word. All summer through Leti- tia had remained in town, giving the excuse that her interior decorating business kept her steadily on the job but I had another Idea about he rea'- son for refusing to accompany her par-‘ ents abroad. She was especially nice to me and was constantly demonu tstratiutt her affection in her shallow, superficial way. All the time, how, ever, it was easy to see that Curtiis wtuutrpermotrt in her mind. ' I had not' had time to change my bungalow apron for a frock before Curthrs also arrived. In spite of my- self I seemed to be always on the alert for some sign of his interest in this girl and, as he stood in the door- way, I noticed how his eyes swept to. wards her and then rested with open approval.» on her face. V One afternoon she came by, as usual,'nnd this time she brought in arm full of hot-house flowers for me. It won the maid's afternoon " and I had just finished preparing the eve- ning meal. My face was flushed and She was wearing an exquisite frock of mu lace and a picture hat of transparent braid that was exactly the goo]. green color of the sea. The rout, still in her arms, made a splash of errtor against her lovely gown and combleted a picture that was indeed, most pleasing to Bee.

Letitia and Curtiss made their way to the side v‘erandah and t could hear echoes of their laughter even on the other side of the house. I tried to analyze my feeling as I sat béfore the mirror combing out my hair, sirhich, because Cumin had re- quested it! had allowed to grow Why was it/I wondered, that men admired the very things in other women that they disapproved of most in sisters [and wives of their own? Curtiss had declared on all occasions before he met Letitia, that he intense- ly disliked bobbed hair. ‘He had like- wise persuaded me to give up cigar- ettes and he squirmed every time I took a eoektai1---even before a din- ner or at s dsnce.

Once more my heart began to sing, and I: was about to dismiss his former eon- duct from my mind when he stroke again: "Oh, I my Sallie," he began, "rfor- got to tell you that we're going: for a moonlight picnic tonight. Out on the mohntain. Tish says she'll gnar- antee a moon." L I knew that no offense had been meant. for whatever else he was, Cur- tiss was never intentionally rude,tyet it took a supreme effort for megnot to snatch the paper from his hands. In order, to control myself I trot up and went inside. ' . "But, honey, why didn't you tell me sooner," I complained, "everythimr's ready now and we'll have to have .ditr. nor here." I tried to reassure myself by re- membering-Mrs. Wright’s philosophi- cal wisdom that he was only amusing himself for the moment, while I really furnished his back-ground for the real things of life. At the same time it _ hard to become! accustomed to his indifference when Letitia was about and I had too much pride to mention the subject to him lest-he think I was jealous of the girl. The situation was most difficult and was daily becoming worse. . ' I returned to the porch and Letitia had gone. The Instance of "Christ- mas Night" still, hovered in the' tit. Now, I would at least have Curtis, for one nice, quiet evening alone and I sat down beside him prepared for an intimate, little talk. He replied in monotsyilablets, and while I wee relat- ing some of the events of the day, he abeent-mindedly walked to the edge iit the porch and securing the evening paper, opened it," and began to read. "Not on your life! It's too hot in this house to breathe. Tish and [just made it up a little while ago. She’s gone to get another couple and we'll 'to-just the tive of us-most inform- ally, you. know," he explained, "I don't see what difference it makes to you where we eat. We'll just dump alt the things in a:basket and go‘where- it's cool." ' "But it's not that kind of a diner," I said, "for instance if you had just told me sooner I wouldn't have prte- pared this kind of meal. I've cooked a delicious steak, and tiny new tiota- toes in cream and fresh asparagus? and things that. won't possibly do for a picnic lunch.

All you think about lately is food. Why I'd rather go out and have a lark-on the mountain in the moonlight and take along a loaf of bread and a piece of cheese." He flung himself out of the 'door. _ , ' It was not fair of him to srarthat I was absorbed in food for it did not interest me in the least. The' only reason I had refused to so to a bridge party and spent the last few hours“ in a hot kitchen was on his account and I had prepared the things of which I knew he wu especially fond. .

And in the event' the successful bidder fails to enter into written contract, submitted by the Board of Directors, and likewise fails to execute Surety Company Bond, sat-' isfactory to said Board of Directors, then and in such event the certified check aceompinying said successful bid will be forfeited to said Board of Directors, District No. 109. The Board of Dii‘ectors reserves the right to reject any or all bids or ac- cept any bid. V ,, f By order of the Board of Directors of School District No. 109, Deerfield, Illinois. Some months ago I asked all house keepers to wrap garbage in several layers of newspaper before placing it in the garbage can. I want to thank you for the attention paid to this notice. At the incinerator the bundles came in clean and sanitary and the garbage was much easier to burn. At the houses the cans'were kept in a more sanitary condition. For the next three weeks it will be necessary to change this practice. The incinerator is being rebuilt so that it is necessary to bury the gar- bage and we ask that it be kept as dry as possible and placed in the cans without wrapping paper and free from ashes and tin cans and other debris. This will necessitate additional care being taken with the cans. Scald themout each time they are emptied and keep them covered with tight covers when containing garbage. Disinfection is useful in keeping away flies Homes with ser- vants, stores, and r.stsurants are more apt to be careless than others. This notice is partly an experiment. We want to learn how thoroughly the people carry out these seemingly small requests. It is the little things summed up which make the city liv- able. At the same time I remembered, how', Curtiss had always ridiculed deviled eggs and sandwiches. and things of that sort which he designated as "rats bit food." What a difrerenee"a girl could make in a man's attitude! , Bids must be ih the hands of the Secretary on or before 8:30 p. m., July 6th. 1926 (Daylight Saving time).

She Charlestoned up the walk and I no- ticed that the moon had begun to rise. It was indeed itself a large and golden world floating lazily in the soft purple sky. , She had evidently corraled anqther couple and I heard them milking in the car. The man was driving. She and Curtiss would sit in the seat be- hind. . "All ready," she cried, "Eva and Bill are out there with a Thermos bob. tle of 'Clover Clubs' as their contribu- tion to this impromptu affair but I'm already intoxicated with that perfect- ly adorable moon!" Her voice was excited and her whole manner was one of expeetanerana delight. Curtiss stood with hat in hand. "Sallie isn't going," he said. _ ' "Why not?" she asked and it was hardly possible for her to hide the singing joy she felt over this piece of news. "Ye Gods! Don't mention food on a night like this! Really, Sallie, old dear, youve getting too unromantic for words." And laughing gayly. they were Cone.. Plans and specifications may be ob- tained at the offipes of ASHBY, ASH- BY & SCHULZE. 1511 W.

It had not been my to cook a good, substantial meal, for, although I had studied domestic science at school, it had taught me lit- t1rmore than how to make candle: of various sorts. Then suddenly I trade up my mind. They could go to the picnic, if they cared to, but I would remain at home. They had not taken me into their plans so I would not be placed in the position of merely trailing along. V I found Curtiss’ and pleided Litead.

CE Clerk: I In the annual report of the Art Ia- stitute of Chicago, which has recently been mailed to the: members of the museum, some interesting statisti s are revealed. On January 1, 1925. the Art Institute membership numbered 14,546, of which 8,311 were annual members, 5,685 were life members, 332 were sustaining members, 223 were governing members and lSpeere honorary mmbers. The attendance at the museum for the year was 978,586. The visitors to Ryerson library hum- bered 107,381 as against 101.319 the previous year. There were circulated from the library, 21,188 books, 14,163 photographs, 57.206 lantern slides and 1.474 post cards. The school has en. dowed scholarships to the amount of $159,113.00. Only four of these are competitive, the Bryan Lathrop, the John Quincy Adams, the William M. R. French and the Milward and Flor- ence James Adams scholarships, For the maintenance of the great fountain now being erected in Grant Park to the memory of Clarence H. Bucking- ham, Miss Kate Buckingham, a sister and the donor of the fountain', has given to the Art Institute interest bearing securities. the income of which is to be used for the operation of the fountain. Besides the comple- tion during 1926 of the beautiful Goodman Memorial theatre, designed by the late Howard Shaw, a valued trustee of the Art Institute. a number of important period rooms were com- pleted in Hutchinson wine. Two aVere of the English Georgian period. taken from the London residence of Sir John Thornhill. the gift of Mr. and Mrs. Richard T.

A black; and, gold 18th century lacquer room, to be called the William Holabird and Martin Roche room is now tn in.. stalled. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel A. arx have given a valuable collection " Moroccan pottery and carved archi- tectural details and John R. Thompson has given to the 'oriental department a‘rare lspahan rug. _ _ 1 While the Art Institute ranks among the first in the country in point of attendance it ranks about eighth in its ability to purchase works of art with which to enrich its collections. In other words many museums in the United States outrank‘ it in funds available with which to add to their Collections. Endowment funds there- fore are needed, that th I Art Institute may take its place timing the great museums of the World, (thus enabling Chicago to keep its art activities abreast of its tremendous. induitrial growth.
