First girl in our town to “get her
man” on Leap Year was the Cup-
pers’ daughter, Jane, who wed Bill
Webster’s boy last Saturday.
W'hen I asked Bill Jr. if it was
true that Janey really did the pro-
posing, Bill said: No, but she made
it plain she’d make an ideal wife.
Instead of looking for diversion or
excitement every evening, she was
content to chat beside the fire.
“I could plainly see,” says Bill,
“that we’d really have a happy
home life—which is just exactly
what I want from marriage.”

She hung up and dressed quick-

By the time she was down in the
foyer it was there waiting for her
and she went out to it with a
queer feeling of unreality upon
her. New York at that hour was
-Strange. They had the streets all

ing the rush of the cold morning
air on her face through the open
window, hearing the eerie sound
of boat whistles as they neared
the Blast River, wondering about
their secret language. Then, sud-
denly, there was the formidable

“Pin on a poppy the
thing on Poony Day”.
This was the appeal of Com-
mander pawrence Henneke of
Dinter Post American Legion to
all war veterans in Cuero in a
statement issued Wednesday.
“We can never forget those
. comrades of ours who lost their
lives in war service, so let us
show the world.that we remem-
ber by-wearing a poppy on
Poppy Day. We veterans should
lead the way in paying tribute
to those who didn’t come back,
so get a poppy pinned on the
first thing on poppy day”.
‘With our poppies we remem-
ber too, those other comrades
who are nill fighting a battle
against wounds and iltaefts in
the > veterans’ hospitals. They
made the poppies, and the con-
tributions we make for the little
flowers are for them, their
families and the families of the
" dead. ‘I' am sure veterans will
set an example of generosity on

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN
IT WAS ALL exactly-as Anne
had known it would be. There was
a purple mat- of violets under the
trees along the driveway. And the
Jonquils and tulips made a bright
path ot color in Julia's garden.
And the lambs were out frolick-
ing in the neat fields. And though
She could not see their crowned
glory. she could smell the fra-
grance of the apple blossoms from
the orchards behind the barns.
Apple blossoms and wistaria. What
a heavenly combination!
I She got out of the taxi at the
front entrance, paid the driver and
stood a moment at the foot of the
steps. Where was that wistaria,
anyway? ^s her eyes found it,
she let out a little exclamation of
delighted surprise. How had she
missed it? Ths great vine at the
end of the screened porch had
’ elimbed to its roof and laid a blan-
[ ket of lavender and white com-
pletely over it. How beautiful!
How breath-taklngiy beautiful!
She stood still in the enveloping
peace of the place, listening with
a thrill of deep affection to all the
country sounds. The bumbling of
fat bees in the blossoms every-
where. The faint steady rumble
of the far-off tractor. A child's
laugh—Judy's—and then the be-
lated barking of the dogs as thqy
1 bounded around the comer of the
i house followed by Judy and Julia.
•It’s Anne” Judy cried. “Andy-
; Pandy! Andy-Pandy! Hi! Hi! Hi!"
I And she came running full tilt.
| Julia said nothing but her swift
I radiant smile and her quickening
steps spoke for her. She waited
’ until Anne had disengaged herself
• from the clinging Judy and then
said, "Darling, go find Daddy. He’s
in his office. Go tell him. Anne has
come, will you?” She turned back
i to Anne. "Or would you rather—”
Anne shook her head. “No," she
said. "That's all right."
Judy ran off, pretending she was
riding a galloping pony and Anne's
eyes followed her. "Doesn’t she
miss Helen at all?” she asked.
JUUa replied promptly, “She
never has and she never will.”
Her tone held a satisfaction which
Ihs.did not try to conceal aa her
eyes met Anne's. She went on
quietly. "The ways of Providence
ar* certainly strange, aren’t they,
my dear?"
Anne made no answer. It was
