Sherry could only say, inade-

Life at .the farm was a busy
routine iifto which Sherry fitted
easily and-which she loved. She
rose early and retired early, just
as the others did. She helped Aunt

help of the young hired girl, Etta.

“Just Twenty Years Ago To-
day:”—Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Zincke ,
The mere making of money at a
job that bored him no longer
seemed a sufficient incentive. His
J i. sense of values had altered. And,
when he came home, he found him-
self feeling crowded and hemmed
in by the city, profoundly disturbed’
by the throngs of people all about,
the rushing, noisy tempo.
Lex told Sherry, "fiit when I
tried to make Kay understand how
I felt—she thought I was actually
a little off the beam. She wanted
me to see a psychiatrist"
“But that’s absurd,” Sherry said.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
SHERRY LET Lex talk on, not
interrupting, hoping it would help.
She learned that he had met Kay
only a few months before he went
into service and that the attrac-
tion between them had been strong
and swift. Normally, Lex would “Kay's going to Palm Be^cJvfor
have gone on working for Kay’s V\eeks. T expect she thinks the
father and he and Kay w*ould have ’
got engaged and then married.
They would have rented an apart-
ment and, later on, bought a house
in a good suburb, not too far out
from the city. That was still the
pattern Kay wanted their married
life to follow.
But Lex had changed, or, rather,
he had found himself. The war had
jolted him out of the rut in which
he had been fairly contented so
long as he knew no other way of
life. During his training, his serv-
ice in England and France, he had
j gained a different perspective, one

opened your eyes. And why would
you want to pick up where you’d
left off when you realized how
much happier you’d be living on

Lex said, "I can’t make Kay see
it that way. When I took that
agricultural course, she thought it
was just a crazy whim. Thea,
when I began working for Steve,
she realized I was serious.” His
blse eyes were troubled, question-
ing, on Sherry’s face. “She says

Sherry felt pride out of all pro-

It seemed to her. during that
week’s stay at Steve’s farm, that
richness and satisfaction of
country living became more clearly
apparent to her than ever before.
Spending so much time with Steve
and Lex, listening to their talk,
asking questions and so learning,
Sherry began to understand and
share Steve’s sound ‘ and deeply
rooted philosophy of living. Steve
was a firm believer in the impor-
tance of agriculture to the econ-
