THURSDAY, XTOUST X 1952 + F'T'VE GOT TO TELL you this,” ! Monty said. “I didn’t intend to at first, but now—” He hesitated. The girl, her face pale and lovely )n the moonlight, watched him ex pectantly, wonder and a traie of doubt written in her eyes. Behind i 1 : hem the silhouettes of Miami JBeach’s fashionable hotels were ;etched against a sky that was bright with reflected artificial illu mination. In front of them was the ocean. I “But now?” Karen softly per sisted. • Monty gestured, as though sud denly he had reached a decision, “Well, now,” he said, “it’s differ ent.” He looked down at her, his eyes intense. “I don’t have to tell you why. You know why. You know what } has happened—to * me, at least.” And before she could inter rupt he rushed on: “I’m not Monty Harper, the millionaire playboy you think. I’m Henry Duncan Babing ton, an English duke.” He laughed shortly. “The Duke of Glenn, founds good, doesn’t it? But that’s all. I’m broke. My family mort gaged everything to raise funds to send me to America.” His lips twisted into a wry smile. “I’m sup posed to trade my title for an American fortune.” For a moment Karen did not an swer. Faintly she heard the sound of music. A band somewhere was playing a waltz. The Merry Widow. This sound, conjured memories, pro voked a tightness in her throat. She and Monty had danced to the Merry Widow the night had met at the Palm Club. * Every detail of i ~t evening and the days and nights that followed were vivid in her mind. Vivid, be- i cause with Monty she had found the first real happiness she had ever j Known. “Have you—do you love this—this girl with the fortune?” “I don’t knew. I haven’t met her. I’ve been postponing the meeting because ” “Because why?” Because I was sure I wasn't go ing to fall in love with ycu. Because I thought any minute I could break it off—like that. Then suddenly I knew I couldn’t, knew I could never stop loving you. And then, worse luck, I discovered something else. I was being dishonest, and a chap simply can’t be dishonest with the girl he loves. It placed me in ra ther a spot.” “Yes, I should think it would.” He looked at her quickly, and the small hope he had continued to cling to vanished. She had changed. In the mere wink of her eyes the warmth had gone from her voice. It was cold and accusing and scorn ful. He hesitated, wanting to plead his cause, vindicate himself. Want ing to explain about his family, to try and make her understand that he owed them a debt, that they were depending upon him, that he couldn’t let them down. A hopelessness came over him. It wouldn’t do any good. She was an American. She couldn’t under- AgWSS^fljV^r 'P’ROM the Lamar County Echo, * Paris, Texas: V "Why do newspapers throughout the country devote so much space to editorial comment? Are the edi tors trying to "run” the nation or force the people to 'adopt their views? Not at all. They are only endeavoring to get the people to atop and think for themselves. If editors can do this, they have ful filled their obligations to the public. We do not expect all our readers to agree with us on any issue dis cussed in these columns. When they agree or disagree we have at least caused them to do a little thinking of their own—and that’s our mission so far as editorials are concerned.” • • • Fair-dos and Dont's from The Wright County Monitor, Clarion, Iowa: "There have been a lot of com ments about the horse tail hair-do, most of them vigorously adverse insofar as the men are concerned. But one of the cleverest rebuttals on that comes from "Snooping Sal” column in the Clear Lake Mirror. Just get a load of what Sal says about some of the men’s hair-dos; „"Men have made many comments on the style of women’s hair-do's, especially with the advent of the 'poodle curl’ and the 'horse tail.’ I even heard one fellow remark that the poodle cut should be on a dog, and the horse tail shduld stay on the horse. Now tills fellow was sporting what 1 call the Cocker Spaniel cut. He had long black sideburns that reminded me of a Halo Style, he ly bald on top, and I stand. Americans had different ideas. He didn't blame her. When Monty returned to his hotel he was greeted in the lobby by a rather austere-looking gentleman carrying an umbrella and wearing very correct clothes of a foreign cut. He stopped and Blinked. .“Fleming! Good heavens, what are you doing here-” Kenneth Fleming was the Babing ton solicitor. He and his father be fore him had handled the family’s affairs for years. “Hello, old boy! Good to see you. Naturally I’m here to settle the matter of—er—your affair.” “Oh,” said Monty dismally. "How’s it going, by the way?” “Oh, fine,” said Monty. “You’ve no idea. But look here, old man, we mustn’t rush things. These Ameri cans are queer. Don’t like to be pushed. You’ll have to give me another month.” Fleming was doubtful “Well, any way, I’ll meet Miss Dayton tonight and have a talk with her.” “Meet who?” asked Monty blank ly. “Miss Dayton. Joyce Dayton. Look here, you act as though you didn’t know she was the girl with whom we were er bargaining. Nothing wrong, old boy.” “No, indeed. Not a thing. Tonight, eh? Well, the sooner the better.” Monty was miserable. He had dinner in his room, dressed and came downstairs about 9 o’clock Apparently the hotel was sponsor ing some sort of function, for the lobby was crowded. Fleming came weaving towards him through the crowd. “Where the dickens have you! j been? I’ve talked with Miss Dayton . j She's quite willing to marry you a. ■ once.” i “What?” said Monty. | “Never mind what. She’s waiting for you on the terrace. Go out there and talk with'her.” Monty had alternate warm and cold spells as he made! his way to ward the terrace. A queer sensation was working up and down his spine. Was it possible—but no, that was absurb! It couldn’t be! "Monty!” He saw her in the shadows, wear ing white, looking lovelier than ever. She came up to him and smiled and the blank, startled look left his face. “Karen! This is mockery. Noth ing you could da could affect me more deeply. I don’t blame you for seeking revenge. It was rotten of me.” She placed her hand lightly over his mouth. “Stop! It was as much my fault as yours. I owed some thing to my family too. I promised them a title. But I was more cow ardly. I had to pretend to be some one else, to know what you were like before’— it happened. Oh, dar ling, can you forgive me for being Joyce Dayton?” She took her hand away from his mouth then, which proved a very helpful gesture, for Monty sud denly had other uses for his mouth besides talking. Spaniel dog with long black ears. Other men prefer the Convict trim, that is where the head is almost shaved. Next comes the Butch cut, not quite so short, but still on some fellows instead of looking like Joe College it looks like Egg Head of the Circus. "Next comes what I call is the Sheep Dog. He doesn’t have his hair cut or combed and peers out like a sheep dog. Then there is the has a small fluff of hair all around the bald spot, and no matter how he combs and brushes it he still can’t cover the bait spot. Some how the effect resembles a halo." Now we come to the Rag Mop. • • • Grass Roots Opinion Knoxville Express, KnoxvlDe, Iowa: “Our government experts say that many foreign countries could be made into self-supporting na tions. Perhaps, like charity, these things should start at home. Even in this country nothing appears able to support Itself without gov ernment help . . . here we are in far away foreign places telling them how to become self-suffi cient." • * • From Italy News-Herald, Italy, Texas: t “Had Congress refused to go along with presidential requests for more power . . . ;had Congress held a tight rein on governmental expen ditures; had Congress been more careful about approving presi dential appointees, this nation wquld never have slipped as far along the road to socialism as it haa." • * ™jA«ltfasHngton By Waiter Shead WHILE GENERAL IKE was fish ing for trout in Ms Colorado hide-a-way, he probably pondered the bridges he must cross before he can be expected to win the vote of the people in the November elec tion. First, how can he heal up the wounds inflicted by Republicans upon Republicans at the Republi can national convention. While Sen ator Taft has, on the surface, of fered his wholehearted support to the general, many of the senator’s top echelon are still smarting under the trampling they received at the hands and feet of the Eisenhower forces at Chicago. Second, in the Eisenhower camp Itself, there must be an understand ing before the general can go to the people, for it is a matter of record that Eisenhower swung away from his original managers, Senators Lodge, Duff and Carlson, to the pro fessionals in the Tom Dewey camp headed by Herbert Brownell and others. These party wounds must be his first consideration. If they cannot be healed, the Eisenhower road to success will be tough sled ding. Then too, there is the isolationist midwest which will be a chain around his neck if there is any semblance of a Republican land slide, for any such trend would mean the re-election of such sena tors as Jenner of Indiana, Bricker of Ohio, Kem of Missouri, Mc- Carthy of Wisconsin, Butler of Ne braska and others who were in the Taft camp, as Cain of Washington, Malone of Nevada, and Watkins of Utah. Here in Washington, the political experts predict that with these senators back on capitol hill, Eisen hower would be in much the same position as President Truman has been with the 82nd congress—with out influence. For Senator Taft will still be “Mr. Republican” and like ly will head the Republican policy committee to determine with these >* this week'sAi V patterns. § < vVI r •» AuoßiY uni ,) No. 2410 is cut in sizes 10 to 20, it -> 40.

There is every indication, hew ever that even if General Eisenhow er is successful at the polls this fall he will have a Democratic senate,- and possibly a Democratic House. The Republicans have 19 senators up for re-election the Democrats 14. But of the 14 Demo crats,' nine are from the south or a pretty solid north state. While of the 10 Republicans, eight are from very doubtful states. • • • Eisenhower needs the • so-called “Old Guard” to win. He made a noble effort at peace by walking across the street in Chicago to the Taft headquarters and offering the olive branch to Senator Taft. On the surface Senator Taft accepted it and pledged his support. No one doubts the senator’s sincerity. But there are doubts whether Eisenhow er can line up the Taft supporters to present a reasonably united party front In November. While the basic planks of the GOP platform adopted at Chicago are embedded in a mass of envec tive and wordage, in which it is difficult to determine the meaning, on the domestic front Eisenhower probably can find common ground. But on most of these issues he must stand up and be counted. A major ity of the nation’s business men be lieve that the general is the dis ference between the trend towards “socialism” and free enterprise. But General Eisenhower himself must figure out what the GOP plat form planks mean for the farmers and for labor. • • • General Eisenhower made one move to placate the vital mid-west when he chose, or at least his sup porters chose, Arthur Summerfield of Michigan as GOP national chair man. And this election might well turn on the midwest vote, since this is the arena in which President Truman surprised the folks in 1948 by capturing such states as Illinois, lowa, Ohio and Missouri. * SUBSCRIBE TO THE RECORD !slw I -i jfgi||B§r it jf ABII Th» only Pickup with an all-new Low-Friction en pne!
