She had been recommended to Anetka ; by Mark Sutherland, American Playboy And mutual triend who admired Mary from the first following meeting on shipboard. Mary likes Mark but misses Tony Castle, owner of a smart New York shop who gave her her start several months previously.. She left Castle’s shop suddenly, disillusioned, after an altercation with Tony s head buyer, Francine Long, and.sailed for Paris impulsively. More and more she realizes she is in love with Tony. Mary does so well in the shop that Anetka offers her a partnership. Be fore long Mary has visions of wide suc cess with the shop. Meanwhile, as Christmas Eve arrives. Tony still searches for Mary in New York. An American friend, visiting Paris, sug gests to Mary that her shop should expand. Mary’s fame begins to spread as Mari Barat and the firm, in a new shop, becomes firmly established. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER 18 FOR THE first time in their association, Anetka pu.t her foot down on a suggestion made by Mary —Mary’s suggestion that she adopt a baby. A baby? What would they do with it? How could Mary take care of it? Why didn’t Mary get married and have babies of her own? In the end, Mary gave up and comforted herself with the sub stitution of a new department in the shop. They would make in fants’ wear. So Mary haunted the parks where the picture book children, who are the Parisien petites, and who looked like illustrators’ fancies out of story books, played with their nurses in provincial garb attending them. She reveled in the dog carts and the goat car riages. She bought quantities of toys at the many stalls and pre sented them to the poor. She laughed and applauded the puppet shows, the petits guignels that have come down through hundreds of years. She watched the little ones “yachting” in the big basin of the Tuileries gardens; rode on the camel, the elephant, and in the ostrich-drawn carriage at the Jar din d’Acclimatation with a three year-old “borrowed” for the occa sion. She drank warm milk from the dairy at the same place and bought a puppy for the small Lulu. That night, when she should have been making sketches of the detail she had seen on the tiny frocks, she stared forlornly out of her window that looked on a courtyard and felt the sadness of a woman in love who is to have -no children of her own. No little boy with eyes that crinkle up when he smiles! The department (a small cor ner) of enfants’ wear was a bijou iat ANETKA’S. The tiny confec tions of white and pink and blue !went “like hot cakes”, Mary ex plained to Anetka. Mary designed them —a loving task that took lit tle of her time —and the work was ;sent . out to needlewomen who made' masterpieces of. the minia ture garments. That was as near as Mari Barat came to her second small dream. Mary’s third Christmas in Paris was approaching. Not for her was .this to be a lonely holiday. The 'Wollaston’s—lvy and Ted, her American friends of long standing, were going to Brittany where they’d taken an old farmhouse, and there was a charming English man to join them. There would be Christmas carols, a tree and stock ings before the hearth. Mary bought prodigiously. Gifts for everyone and a short mink coat for herself. She meant to buy a pair of sap phire earrings for Anetka. Thinking of it, she smiled. She put down her pen and dropped her chin on her hands. She tried to tell herself how lucky she was. She was 27 years old and she was a successful business woman. She had a small apartment oh the Seine, a bank account, a mink coat. She had a group of smart, amusing friends.-> She went to par- 'Pocr / ■< j They Like Their Milk!

At least, so she tried to tell her self. Once more she picked np her pen. The bills would have to be mailed out that night. Anetka would be pleased and laugh a lit tle and cry a little when she saw tiym Mari counted on her fingers. The debts incurred at their opening were nearly paid off and then there would be plenty of money to save for the next shop she had already planned. Again she hesitated. Would it be wise to plan another shop so soon? There, the last of the hills was finished. She wiped the ink from her second finger and pick up the Paris Herald. She turned the pages hastily, and then the telephone rang. Reaching for the instrument, she brushed the newspaper from the desk. Something else engaged her at tention and the paper was picked up by the porter and destroyed. She was never to see the item about Liane Weston’s marriage to her manager, a marriage that had been possible only after the death of his wife in a sanatorium. The paper said that it had been a romance of “more than 10 years”. Had she seen it, she might have brought her more mature point of view to bear on the situation that had changed her life. Mari Barat did have a more mature point of view. She had changed in many ways. Mark Sutherland found her very changed when he came back to Paris that year. Changed in many ways save in the one that he, perhaps, hoped for. He had come once to see her when they were in the little shop. And then he had dropped out of her life. Sometimes there were brief, scrawled notes from some corner of the earth. Once there was a magnificent mandarin coat from Qhina in which, he said, he hoped one day to see her. Mary had philosophically overlooked the message and enjoyed the coat. Then there had been a long cable of congratulations when the new shop was opened. And occasionally there was a 'new customer who said that she HENDERSON. (N. QJ 0.) DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1937 had been recommended by Mr, Sutherland. Mary thought of him sometimes, but she really did not miss him. She had never felt that Mark had been her friend. And as a com panion he had been replaced quick ly. She had friends among the newspaper crowd from America, Anetka’s voluble friends, and a small group of Parisiens. She had books and her work. Her life was almost —but not quite —complete- ly filled. i Then Mark came back. Mary was alone in the office, her. smooth head bent over her ac count books. “Boo!” She jumped, startled. She dropped her pen and whirled to ward the door. “Mark Sutherland! It’s time you turned up!” She gave him both her hands and a cool cheek to kiss. “Is that all I get after a whole year ?” “Oh, no,” she said, “you may have a cocktail.” “You’re all the stimulation I need. Let me have a look at you.” Obligingly she turned on her slender heels, holding dancer fashion the skirt of her simple gray gown. She touched the pearls at her slender throat, patted the smooth cap of her copper hair, waved smoothly now where once curls had clustered. He saw a new Mari Barat in this slower of-speech, poised young woman. She took his hand and pulled him down beside her in one of the lounges. “Sit down and tell me in how many ways you’ve been trying to break your neck, and when you are going to work— if ever.” He protested: “Mary, Mary quite contrary, as you used to say, don’t rush me.” “Oh, heavens, Mark!** She got up hastily, “I’m afraid I’ll have to! I’ve promised to have some sketches ready for Roxanne Rohde, the cinema star. She’s coming at 3. I’m anxious to im press her.” “She’s only minor league, Mary. I’ve someone important for you to see. I mean really important. So sit down and pin your pretty ears back.” Y Mary sat Uown.

North Carolina’s industries and 1 the Utilities Commission are more 1 often than not on opposite sides of 1 •economic questions such as rate re ductions or wage increases; but the big business bosses and the regula tory agency are °h the same side of ' the fence in the South’s fight to re move rail rate differentials. Chair man Stanley Winborne said recently ' that all the State’s industries are co operating splendidly, The Duke Pow er Company arid the Cannon Mills, he cited for example, have offered the commission the services of their very best rate experts and legal representa tives^ —all expenses to be borne by the companies. Th WFA’s already announced plan to abolish its district offices in North Carolina is still very much on the nebulous side, with practically all concrete details up in the air. It does seem certain, however, that when the matter jells there will be fewer ad ministrative office workers and a substantial reduction in the cost of WPA in the State. Cutlar Moore, liquor board chair- , man, was down in Chowan Monday helping the local board get ready to stock the stores soon to open under the recent favorable plebiscite. To many it seems something of a paradox to find Mrs. Bessie Phoenix, herself a beneficiary of the State, i Young Democratic Club custom of al ternating its presidency between the sexes, one of the leading figures in the fight to smash the precedent. Yet the lady from Raleigh is said to be taking an extremely active part in the •ampaign looking to the defeat of Mae Oliver, Sanford candidate for head of the Y. D.’s. Meeting of the State’s Association of County Commissioners at Wrights ville Beach tomorrow will give John L. Skinner, secretary of the group, a chance to sing his favorite theme song again—opposition to all and sundry tax exemptions- Mr. Skinner has never been known to miss an oppor tunity to speak righbwout in meet ing against letting briybody off of anything in the matter of taxables. Tobacco prices On Etarder Are Eye 4 (Continued rrom Page One.) as the vitally-interested growers them selves, will have a keen interest id finding out whether prices will hold up in the face of the big crpp. During the 1937 legislative session there was great hubbub about the im perative necessity for feme form of tobacco acreage control, and “com pacts” measures held the centre of the stage for quite a vfhile. After weeks of controversy, conversation, contention and; compromise, North Carolina finally put a control measure on its statute; books, only to have the whole thjing nullified by refusal of Georgia and South Carolina to come into the fold and cooperate. At the time there were dire predic tions pf disaster. Many who have been in the tpbaccp business all their lives forecast that the markets would be closed soon after opening while the growers rushed frantically to Wash ington sos aid. i Since then improving business con ditions have allayed many, if not ;most, of these fears. The consensus lat present seems to be that weed ’prices will be about as good as last year, when North Carolina’s border belt prop, averaged slightly better than 22 cents per pound. But just the same j there is great interest in what an uncontrolled crop will bring. Chinese Defenders Os Great Watt Are Blocking Japanese (Continued from Page One.) .

Powsll, Chairman of the N. C. Unemployment Compensation Commission, today. Unless an employer has as many as eight employees in North Carolina he dpes not com? under the provision of the North Carolina act. * Mr. Powell said. However, if he has as many a,s eight employees in the United States, he comes under the Federal an,d is required to pay the full two per cent to the U. S. collector of internal reve nue. This payment goes into the Federal treasury and the individual employee gets no benefit from it> th? law provides. If an employing firm has its home office in New York, for example, and has enough employees there to com e under the state act, it pays on the employees in that State, or if it has as many as eight employees scatter ed over several states, it is required to pay to. the Federal government the two per cent for this year on the payroll of its employees. In the latter case, the employees get no credit or benefit from these payments. However, if the New York firm with as many as eight employees scat tered in one or more states, with, for example, one, two or seven employees in North Carolina, it can apply for voluntary coverage, a,nd normally the North Carolina Commission will per mit the firm to come under the act. It then pays on its payroll for work ers in this State, and they are credit ed with these payments, Mr. Powell ■ points out. Mr. Powell suggests that resident North Carolina workers for out-of state firms, make more than their firms seek voluntary coverage for them under the state law, so they will get the benefits of the payments their employer have to. make anyway. Wages, Hours Bill Could Play Havoc (Continued from Page One.) Fletcher pointed out. “There are some very sound rea sons why there should be a wage dif ferential between the South and the highly industrialized North,” Major Fletcher said, “and the board should keep these reasons in mind when it comes time for it to fix wages.” In the Sputh, Major Fletcher point ed out as an example, practically all the industrial plants provide their la bor with houses at unusually low ren tal charges. This practice is virtually unknown in the North where the com panies which furnish housing facili ties for their employes base their ren tals on those ordinarily charged. “Most North Carolina industries rent houses to their employes for less than $1 per room per month, on the average,” said Major Fletcher. “So far as I know there is nothing compar able to this cheap rate in the North.” If the Labor Standard Board takes a,ll these factors into consideration, be fore setting its wage rates for the *, ■j. v , - 'i " The hostess speaks in words concise "You’re just in time, weVe SCHIiTZ ON ICE” foY \ that we accept for the ' *l% •■> \ Schlitz Jingle Y()U ■ .

There is real danger in the wage hour bill, too, in its provisions which will give the Federal boards set up under it almost absolute power over any labor problems which affect in terstate commerce, Major Fletcher feels. “The proposed law declares that.
