Urge Cooperation In I Gigantic Undertaking The American Guide (to be published in five regional vol umes, arranged by states, cities and counties) is intended to an swer the need for a comprehen sive description of the United States. It undertakes to pro vide tourists with comprehen sive descriptive material on the scenic, historical, colorful, uni que, and recreational points of Interest in the country; for the student, author, and research worker the Guide will compile rich source material of cultur al, economic, and historical value; and most important of all, for the average citizen who cannot afford to travel exten sively yet is interested in all the resources of his country, the Guide will provide in sim ple language a medium to ac quaint him with every section of this vast country. The Guide by assembling material now scattered in various sources, will present information now not readily available. Since it will supplement, but not super sede road guides and other pri vate publications, its is non competitive and non-commer cial. In its general »eoie it .3 intended to be of service to all private tour agencies, public carriers, local and national as sociations having to do with the conservation of historic monuments, natural beauties, and the like, chambers of com merce and civic bodies, recrea tional clubs and societies, and all enterprises, public and pri vate, which minister to the va ried interests of the general public.

To tell you the truth, they’re in England with my husband and my home.” “Tell me about your home.” “I’ve never been able to con jure it up for anyone else, al though it’s so vivid in my own mind. It’s a rambling house with gables, frightfully anci ent, with bits that have been added on from time to time. The ceilings are low and beam ed, and the dormer windows are tucked in odd places under the eaves. It’s filled with pic tures, ancient and modern, and my dog Jock patters all over it like a presiding Turk.” i Angela stopped abruptly, ; thinking that she had been I lacking in tact and reserve. “Do you live in New York, ; Mr. Macduff?” I “Yes. Have you ever been there?” “Five years ago I visited it for a few weeks. I love it, the excitement, the tearing hurry, I the air—such air! But to live I in it—how does one manage that?” | “My life is as quiet and slow as if I lived on the tip end of Cornwall.” “I don’t see how you can dwell among such glorious sky scrapers and feel that life is quiet and slow. Life can’t be slow in a soaring city. I think I should live on wings if New York were my home.” “It’s all tosh, the things peo ple think of New York. It’s the best possible city for work, be cause it’s one of the few places in the world where you are let alone if you want to be. I can work better than anywhere un der the sun.” “Perhaps that’s why Ameri can women accomplish so much. I admire them greatly. “Do you?” “Yes. Don’t you?” Her voice expressed surprise. “No. They’re scatterbrains— feckless creatures. They’re also shockingly vain — spending, spending, everything for clothes and appearances.” “But how stunning they look!” “Like so many dolls in a window. The same eyes, the same lift to their chins, the same way of wearing their clothes, and the same ankles.” “But I can’t imagine a race of women with better ankles! American women always sur prise me afresh with the bouy ancy of their spirit. They have such grace—perhaps because they’re free and have economic independence. They’re the only women who walk with hope and assurance.” “I don’t approve of them at all.” “Oh, dear! What a pity! If I were a man and lived in Amer ica, I should admire them very much and fall in love with any number of them. They’re intel ligent, too. But I see it’s a hopeless argument.” Macduff had lost the thread of the conversation, and seem ed to be stumbling towards an important conclusion of his own. He was standing, looking down at her with an air of gloom. Angela gazed at him softly and he shifted his weight. The sun was in his eyes, the garden was fragrant with blooms, the Union Jacks were still pleasantly warm in his stomach. He rubbed the back of his head meditatively and couldn’t imagine why his feet were moving towards the river. What was the sense of going to the Ganges with a chance trav elling acquaintance? ^How delightful of you to gay with pleasure as she saw nim falling into step. ■ Her companion grunted and pulled on his pipe. “We’ll ride to Tiger Hill to gether to see the dawn over Mount Everest when we reach Darjeeling,” h e announced, amazed at his own desire to es tablish a deeper contact with the woman at his side. “That will be splendid”, she told him. , # * * The afternoon sun fell in slanting rays over the Indian Ocean, shedding a flutter of gold on water that heaved in a darkening swell. The aquatic 'sports were about to begin in the swimming pool. Patty, | brim-ful of energy, was div j ing repeatedly from the high est springboard. “She was born to live in a swimming-suit,” Jenny said, admiringly. “A genuine water-nymph!” Peter remarked, always appre ciative of the manifestations of physical perfection. Jenny saw that Clare and Patty were both in the race. It would be interesting to watch the two of them together, for they were evenly matched, in spite of the difference in their ages. Clare was a gifted swimmer, and her speed and form werej equal to the best that girls half her age could do. No woman on the boat could compete with her except Patty. Joan Foster was good, but she slept all day and |took most of her swims late at i night. It’s Not Too Cold in Dallas It may be snowing in the Bast, freezing in the Midwest and a bliz zard may be coming out of the Northwest, but in Dallas, where the Texas Centennial Exposition will be held next year from June to December it wasn’t too cold for Mary Ellen Logan to try the waters of White Kook Lake With her is Carrolyn Durham, chief of the Exposition’s Rangerettes, a corps of BO hostesses. Speedboat, sailboat and outdoor motor races will be held on White Rock, just outside of Dallas, next July and August as part of the Ex position’s elaborate sports pro sram. Clare was in tangerine, a; brilliant flash in the clear wa ter of the tank. It suited her I dusky skin. ‘Patty was in a striking green suit. The whistle blew and the contestants were off, with or ange and green in the lead. | Clare tore through the water ! like a goldfish, using the long Australian crawl. Patty made i better time with the American i crawl. Johnny was perched in a cor Iner close to Angela. His face was set in anxious furrows, tor he felt that the race had some thing to do with him. Patty won the first heat, Clare the second; they seemed to be marvellous ly paired. Angela sat silent, thinking of Johnny and won dering whom he wanted to win. Clare was leading now, but Patty was creeping up. Every stroke brought her nearer to the fleet orange figure. Patty was breathing easily and turn ing in the water with each long stroke. Johnny’s heart was pounding Clare was losing. Did he want her to lose? He did not know. Patty was magnificent; He lik ed the clean sweep of her strokes. He remembered his college days, and his heart went out to Patty. He knew she would root for him, but Clare bewitched him. But this was Patty’s race. She must win I Johnny’s throat was soapy, as it used to be when he tackled at football. I Patty won, and as she touch ed the end of the swimming pool, he bit his lips on a shout of jubilation. Angela felt his suppressed excitement and was suddenly sure of something that had puzzled her for weeks. I But it was Clare he went over I a curtain, oeti nose two/ ■ Her heart misi beat. No, that was absu ly-dreams t Clare and Pete l scarcely spoken to each „__ since they had come on the boat, except for their chat in the lounge at Bombay. They all moved out to the deck to dry themselves^ (Please T irn to Page 8' NEW CHEVROLET FOR 1936 "and it s the only complete ear that sells at such low prices!" fsJjBBtsa Think of all the good a<:n'i:niua , things you get in the new Chevrolet, and don't get anywhere else at Chevrolet prices, and you will readily understand why people call this the only complete low-priced car.
