OLIVE swung tlie hag carelessly as
she walked; it was a beautiful
j thing, of oriental brocade in peacock
'shades. Larry Deane had given it to
j her on her birthday, shortly after their j
'engagement, and she cherished It
above all her treasures save the beau
tiful cluster of diamonds on her finger.
Because she was quarreling with Lar
ry, she had wilfully included the bag
lin’her wrath and twisted it merciless-j
ly on the end of its golden cords. I
“The cord will break and you will
lose the bag,” cautioned Larry.
Olive pondered provokingly. “There
are some really precious things in it
—my vanity case, my gold purse, the
pbilopena gift Joe Watterson gave me,
one of his letters, and—”
“Isn’t that enough?” glared Larry,
for they had been disagreeing about
Joe’s attentions to Olive. j
“Enough letters from Joe? Well,;
he is interesting, Larry—so good tem-•
pered. One enjoys him, you know.” |
“I know one who doesn’t enjoy him
—although he’s a cheerful sort of an
Idiot.” j
“The cheerful ones are the nicest, ■
just the same,” tossed Olive over her
shoulder as his little gray roadster
turned into the driveway of her fa- (
ther’s house. I
“Hnimmmm!” remarked Larry dis-1
agreeably. .
As he helped her out and she re
leased Iter hand, he discovered that
she had left the cluster-of-diamond
ring in his palm. He grew white and
stared at her.
“You mean that, Olive?”
“Os course.”
“Why?” '
“Yon do not trust me—you are
jealous.”
“I am sorry you believe that —1
said nothing until you criticized my
dancing with Ella —well, what does
matter? If you really cared, you could
not play with happiness in this way
Good-by.” he sai<l and jumping into
the little gray car, which had been
their companion on so many joyful
occasions, and which had been the
scene of their betrothal, Larry drove
madly down the drive.
On the veranda Olive was crying.
When her mother inquired why she
wept, Olive confessed that she had
lost her beautiful brocade hag.
“How careless,” chided Mrs. Dare.!
“Perhaps it is In the car. dear. Shalt
1 telephone to Larry?”
“No —uo—please do not! I havej
given Larry hack his ring—and—l
ne-ver want any of them back again,”
announced Miss Dare in a wavering
voice.
“You have lost something very pre-;
clous,” remarked her mother sadly. I
“The hag didn't have much in it—l
just a bread-and-butter note from Joe
Watterson and a few other things.” j
“I did not mean the bag—l meant
Larry,” was Mrs. Dare's quiet reply.-
• •••••• j
“Some bird!” ejaculated Larry, as
the little gray car poked along through
a pleasant byway on the road home.
His gaze was fixed on a bit of bril
liant blue-green perched in a shade
bush beside the road. The sun caught j
the sheen of gold and tossed back the
brilliance ou a peacock’s plumage.
“Olive's bag!” he ejaculated, recog-!
nizing it with a pang, and the little (
gray car stopped abruptly. Larry,
took the bag from its perch and stud- j
ied the gorgeous peacocks woven into
the fabric. The golden cord t hat served
as a handle was broken. Olive had
unwittingly swung (he ha. once too
often and lost it. Perhaps she had
done it intentionally, hut he dashed
suspicion aside.
Jealousy came to take its place. She;
had said Joe Watterson’s letter was
there —ruthlessly he pulled the bag
open and looked; the golden purse,
the foolish pencil Joe had given her—
it looked like a stick of peppermint
candy—some letters which he recog- j
nized as his own —and one penciled
scrawl which might he Joe’s. Sudden
ly. he did not care about Joe. His
own letters made the bag precious to
her —naughtly little thing. lie must
bear with her! He had not touched
the contents of the hag, and now he
dropped the engagement ring inside.
Just then he heard footsteps, hurrying.
Larry hung the bag on the shade
bush and forced the little car to a
bend In the road and peered through
the underbrush.
It was Olive.
She was hatless and quite pink with
running. There were traces of tears
on her soft cheeks and her lips were
very pathetic.
When she saw the brocade bag sbe
uttered a soft cry of pleasure, and
snatching It from the bush, hugged it
to her lips.
“You dear, dear thing!” she sobbed,
“yon are nil that I have left —”
That is what she really said, for
Larry had stolen upon her and heard
her just in time to hold her very tight
ly in his strong arms.
“Is it too late for happiness, dear?’
he asked the repentant girl.
“Not—if vou can forgive my folly/'
she whispered.
“Then—let us say it will never
happen again—and the ring is in the
bag—”
At last when they were seated in
the car and Larry had started it, Olive
turned swiftly.
“What was that sound?”
Larry said he didn’t know, but 1
think he suspected It was a quiet
chuckle from the sympathetic little
gray car.

WHAT GOVERNOR
GARDNER SAID
—«> —-
(Greensboro Daily News)
The statement is substantially cor
rect as carried, but the headlines and
the opinions written into the first
paragraph are not in agreement with
my oft expressed views, or with the
full statement carried in the New
York Times following the interpreta
tive paragraphs. I was not asked my
opinion as to present wages paid,
present hours of labor or the soci
ological effect of mill tenements.
The above is Governor Gardner’s
comment on the interview in the
New York Times. We use the word
“comment” advisedly because those
who seek to interpret his second
statement, given to the state press
and presumably to the Associated
Press, are not certain whether it is
a denial or a confirmation. Unde’
the circumstances a little examina
tion would not be out of order.
The headlines in the New, York'
Times are., these: “Urges H'iehei -
Wages in Textile Industry—North
Carolina Governor Also 'Favors
Shorter Hours, Abolition of Com
pany Houses—He Denounces Com
munism—Says It Clouds Issue—Sug
gc-sts a Meeting of Governors tc
Solve South’s Labor Problem.”
The first paragraph in the New
York Times is this:
Higher wages, shorter hours, aboli
tion of the mill village and company
housing system, and closer co-opera
tion between capital, labor, and the
state were urged by Governor O.
Max Gardner in an interview today,
as a cure for the ills of the southern
textile industry.
These two, the headlines and the
first paragraph, are what the gov
ernor finds “are not in agreement
with my oft expressed views.” As
to the “oft expressed views,” we are
not so sure. But in explanation of
his attitude the governor issued along
with his comment, explanation, in
terpretation or addendum a state
ment. In that statement are these
sentences.
First, in reference to higher
wages: •
In the first place, we cannot build
a prosperous citizenship on low
wages.
Second, in reference to shorter
hours.
We cannot build an efficient labor
force on extremely long hours.
Third, in reference to abolition of
the mill village and company hous
ing system:
In the textile industry the manu
facturers have been mistaken with
respect to their own interests and
the interests of their employes, in
paying their employees so much per
week or per month plus a house to
live in.
Fourth, in reference to closer co
operation between capital, labor and
the state:
The state has within its citizen
ship the intelligence and the will
to bring about a constructive solu
tion of the problems arising in the
change from a predominantly agri
cultural to an industrial common
wealth, in the relation of employe
to employer and in the building of
a democratic citizenship on law and
order. We have the will to succeed,
and we will.
Fifth, in reference to denouncing
communism:
I am convinced that communism
has been a complete failure in North
Carolina. Whatever merit any of the
recent strikers in the textile centers
may have had, they lost their case
the day they accepted the leadership
of foreign communistic leaders.
Sixth, in reference to a meeting
of governors to solve the south’s
labor problem:
It may be that before we can
finally solve the wage question in
North Carolina it will be necessary
to work it out in joint conferences
and study with other manufacturing
states of the southeast.
So far as we can judge, by a com
parison of the offending headlines
and paragraph and Governor Gard
ner’s views as stated above, they are
not merely in substantial agreement,
but are in exact agreement, with the
sole exception that when he sug
gested conferences with other states
he did not say with governors of
other states.
For further reconciliation we leave
the field to the governor and his in
terviewer. The differences between
them seem to be wholly unimportant
in comparison with another fact.
That is that a governor of North
Carolina is now on record, with the
textile industry definitely in mind,
as saying that “we cannot build a
prosperous citizenship on low wages”
and “we cannot build an efficient
labor force on extremely long hours.”
Moreover, this same gardner will
recommend “at the proper time” a
55-hour week, rigid enforcement of
this law with penalties for viola
tions and the discontinuance of night
work for women under 18 years of
age. These are indications of sub
stantial gain.
