“Virginia, you’re exaggerating,”
Leonie said.
“I am nothing of the kind! Your
uncle did tell him to stay out of
your house."
"You children go downstairs and
finish your argument there," Miss
Kate said. "I'm sure Leonie doesn't
want to stay in here. Come in to
see us often, child, and when I
feel better I want to hear all about
your graduation .... And give
my best respects to Miss Heloise
and your uncle.”
“Let’s us sit out on the piazza,"
Caroline suggested. “I made some
fudge. It ought to be cooled off
now.”
“Did Lincoln Calvert say he was
coming to see you?” Virginia in-
quired.
“Yes he did, but you can have
him, Virginia,” Leonie said. “He's
not rich enough for me.”
“But you’re going to be rich,”
May said. “Aren't you?”
“I wish I thought so. But that’s
just one of Uncle’s dreams.”
"It would be nice, though,” Vir-
ginia said. "Here, Caroline, don't
give Leonie all that fudge.”
"It’s kind of grainy,” Caroline
apologized. "I guess I cooked it
too long.”
“You ought to keep your mind
off the boys while you’re cooking,”
Eileen said.

CHAPTER THIRTEEN
EILEEN GARRISON saw Leo-
nie from the yard and ran to let
her in. She shouted for the benefit
of her sisters that Leonie was
there, and Mr. Garrison asked in a
roar what was all that noise.
“Why, it’s Leonie!” he bellowed.
He was a short, square man with
mustaches and a bald head and no
inhibitions. He put his arms around
her and kissed her heartily. "You
little devil,” he said, “you get to be
more of a heartbreaker every day.”
“You go on, Mr. Garrison," Leo-
nie said.
The three other Garrison girls
trooped in, all large, blonde, and
blue-eyed Amazons beside whom
Leonie looked like a gypsy, and a
little one at that.
“Gosh, it’s wonderful to see you
again, Leonie," Virginia said. May,
who was quiet, smiled shyly at her.
Caroline pulled at the sleeve of
Leonie’s dress and wanted to know
where she had bought it, and
Eileen, who was the baby, informed
her that they were about to buy a
new Hudson.
Then they all five charged up to
Miss Kate's room.
"Miss Kate!” Leonie said.
“Why, Leonie child,” said Miss
Kate. “Come over here and let me
have a good look at you.”
Leonie asked politely after her
health.
“About as well as ever," said
Miss Kate, who suffered from
-23
/2
tired, invalid's smile. "I know your
uncle and aunt are glad to have
you back," she said.
“They seem very glad,” Leonie
said.
"There was another returned
native here a while ago," Virginia
told her. “Know who I mean?"
Leonie felt herself blushing. "I
met him myself.”
“And isn't he handsome!” Eileen
exclaimed. "All he needs is a mus-
tache.”
Virginia shuddered. "He's buying
some farm land from Papa," she
said. "I’ll bet if he’d known you
were coming, Leonie, he’d have
.stayed and stayed. He used to be
sweet on you.”
"Now, Virginia,” Miss Kate said,
"they were just children together.”
"Leonie’s Uncle Henri forbid him
to come to the house,” Virginia de-
clared.

THERE is a great difference in
the appearance, taste and yield
of vegetables which have been
properly fed, as compared to
those which have grown slowly
in starved soil. To be tender,
crisp and full of flavor vegetables
must be grown as rapidly as pos-
sible in soil which feeds them
well.
The diet of plants consists of
nitrogen, phosphorus and potas-
sium, in combination with carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen from the
air.
If these food materials are sup-
plied in proper quantities, plants
will do their own “cooking” and
digesting of them.
The accompanying Garden-
Graph shows how the three com-
ponents of a commercial plant
food or fertilizer are utilized by
plants. A broccoli plant is shown
because it has a sturdy stalk,
heavy foliage and the edible top
is really a cluster of small flowers.

"I'd be a painter,” Caroline said.
"I'd take piano lessons from one
of the big teachers in the North,”
Virginia decided.
“Certainly there’s nothing to do
in Charleston,” Caroline declared.
“Well, I guess I’ll have to put
up with having that new Hudson.
We'll have some grand rides, any-
way.”
“We’re going to drive it up to
the mountains," Virginia said.
"Next week we go away. Are you
going away, Leonie?”

Nitrogen is used largely by a
plant for leaf growth. It also
stimulates the growth of the
flowers put out by the plant. Too
much nitrogen in the diet of vege-
tables, however, can make a plant
put forth too much foliage and
delay formation of the flowers or
edible portion.
Phosphorus strengthens stems,
stimulates root development and
in general speeds up maturity of
the plant.
Potassium plays an even larger
part in root growth as well as in
development of the stem struc-
ture of plants. Yellow areas be-
tween the veins of leaves is often
an indication that the plant is
lacking in sufficient potassium.
Prosper use of a commercial
fertilizer will improve the health
and increase the productivity of
home grown vegetables. The nu-
merals on a bag of fertilizer in-
dicate the percentages of nitro-
gen, phosphorus and potassium.
Nearly 75 per cent of the bi-
tuminous coal mined in the
United States is machined-loaded.

playing with a near-sighted
mouse.'
As he tees off on your mis-
demeanors, don’t make the mis-
take of listening to him. You
already know more about what
is wrong with your work than
he does.. Concentrate on your
acting. Let the smile fade from
face. Replace it with a look of
amazement, then horror, then
abject hopelessness.
Don’t make the mistake of
arguing with him about your
rights. He wouldn’t bawl you out
in the first place if he didn’t al-
ready consult a couple of attorn-
eys and the national labor rela-
tions board.
And don’t interrupt him. Agg
him on. If he gets tired of de-
nouncing the faults you have he
knows about, tell him a few he
hasn’t discovered.
As he launches out into a
fresh tirade, lift your hanging
head and let him see the tears
in your eyes.. Let the tears fall
on his desk . . plop . • plop . .
plop.
The main thing is to keep him
attacking you as long as pos-
sible. Just remember that bosses
are like wives—after they wear
out their temper they feel a-
shamed of themselves.
When he finally runs down his
vocal chords, reach up with one
hand and brush away your tears.
Reach out the other hand and
grab his hand and say:
“Thanks, chief, thanks.. I know
I’ll be a better man for this.”
Then, as you go out the door,
turn and look at the family
photo he has on his desk and
say:
“Gee, chief, you’ve got a fine-
looking family. Why do you make
me cry?”
This will bring out the father
in him. After all, isn't the of-
fice just one big happy family,
too? He will feel so guilty that
next week he will probably
quietly give you a raise.
In any case he won’t bawl you
out again. He will be too hoarse.
WASHINGTON, May 20 (P) —
The Western Union Telegraph
Company today offered an
average seven cents-an-hour
wage boost in an attempt to set-
tle a strike of 31,000 telegrapha
workers.
A company official said, how-
ever, the offer was contingent
on govermental approval of an
increase in telegraph rates which
would add- $7,700,000 a year to
company revenues.
That's the amount the wage in-
crease would cost, an official
told a reporter.
The strike was called April 3
by the AFL commerical tlegraph-
ers union.

NEW YORK, (AP) — The art
of bawling out the hired hands
is becoming a lost art in the Am-
erican business world.
In the old days when a boss
saw something he didn’t like,
he’d let out a yelp and dress the
culprit down on the spot—in
burning language more memor-
able than grammatical.
But today most bosses seem to
have lost the gift of tongue-lash-
ing. They have found it cheaper,
by and large, to hire a psychia-
trist to find out what is the matter
with a derelict employe than it
is to bawl the fellow out them-
selves and end up explaining it
all to the U. S. Supreme Court.
So many employes know their
rights now that an employer is
hesitant about pointing out their
wrongs.
Therefore, it came as something
of a surprise to me to get the
following letter:
"Dear bitt'
"I have, a prob'em. My boss
bawled me out last week, and I
have a feeling he’s going to bawl
me out again this week.
“I would quit and get me an-
other job except it’s such a nice
place to work. The management
even puts gin in the office water
cooler. What can I do?
(Signed), .a terrified young
man.”
Well, Dear Terrified, your pro-
blem was so unusual that I took
it up with all the oldtimers I
know who can still remember
being bavled out by their boss
(there are,only a few of them
left). Here is the situation. When
the summons comes to go see the
boss, walk into his office with a
look of’utter happiness.
Get it?You make him think
you have no idea of what is going
to happen. He feels like a cat

proud to tell even her intimate
friends (who knew it) that her
aunt and uncle were too poor to
give her a trip. “I think Auntie
would like to have me home for
a while.”
"She wants to stay with Lin-
coln," Caroline said.
"I’ve already said that Virginia
can have him.”
"No, thank you,” Virginia said.
“None of the flighty Calverts for
me. And as far as that’s con-
cerned, I’m going to be an old
maid. Gosh, I’m twenty-four if
you want to know it. And what
men are there in Charleston, I’d
like to know? Most of them have
gone away to get jobs.”
"That leaves me two years,”
May said.
"And me four,” said Caroline.
It was close to dinnertime when
Leonie left the Garrisons, and she
went home feeling somewhat de-
pressed.
Later that week Henri was vo-
calizing and Heloise was sitting
on the downstairs piazza when
the bell rang.
She opened the door upon a
large young man who seemed to
be all joints, with pink skin and
straw-colored hair.
"Good-evening,” she said.
“Good-evenin', ma’am. My name
Joseph Newman.”
Heloise recollected immediately
who he was. “Won’t you come in,
Mr. Newman?” she suggested.
Joseph followed her in some-
what awkwardly, and she took his
hat and hung it on the rack.
“I hear Mr. Lemay practisin’,”
Joseph observed, “so I know I
come to the right house.” He
smiled broadly as Henri came out
of the parlor. “How you do, suh?"
he inquired.
“Glad to see you, Joseph," Hen-
ri said. He held out his hand,
which Joseph shook with a rustic
vigor that made him wince. "Like
to talk about singing, elf?”
Joseph blinked.
“Yes suh. I would," he said. "I
come to see Leonie, though.”
"Oh, yes. Of course.”
"I’ll go and call her,” Heloise
volunteered.
"Come in and sit down,” Henri
said.
