On th. tram, groins West. Stan appears nervous: asks to be excused while he smokes.

Hour, later he returns intoxicated Judy he is a man In hell. In Stans hometown. Judv has to ftarht much veiled hostility. Her confidant becomes Nick," Stan's disliked half-brother. Informed that Stan has been all broken up over beautiful Eunice Wilsons mar-nave to a millionaire, Judy recalls his remark on their wedding' night; tortures herself with the thoughts that Stan ro posed to her on a rebound that ehe i a spite" wife.

She tries to tell Stan of her misery, but he laughs it off. This Is the Erst time tee have sold these curtains at this new low price. i CHAPTER IT The Empty Days THIS was a strange world Into which Judy had been dropped by her Impulsive marriage. Life had grown complicated. The girl felt like a traveler, feeling her way through dark country, following a thread of path which was visible only here and there a path where intrigue and Jealousy were flung like creepers to trip her up.

Each member of the Carter family seemed to pursue a wilful life, regardless of the others.

It was not a strengthening love it weak ened her, humbled her In spite of herself. Perhaps the flood was so full because it had been so long stemmed. Aunt Hetty, in her stoical New England way, had never lavished any affection on the little girl she had taken to rear. Love had come alive to Judy with Stans ardent kisses; an emotional force which shook Judy to her heart. Long empty days with the ache of jealousy in her heart wearing a smile like a.

mask on her face. And always there was a weary argument going on In her own mind Judy talking down to her heart. Suppose Stan had been engaged to Eunice Wilson at one time! Lots of people had been engaged and then married someone else. But that strange night on the train his black moods. Well, Stan was moody by nature spoiled but adorable, she added loyally in her own mind.

Stan had been embarrassed at meeting Eunice when they had first coma here and people had watched them covertly as If they watched a secret drama. what did that prove: Judy put back her hair fjrom her hot forehead and shook her head wearily as though to shake away the crowding thoughts. People would always talk She wouldnt be a jealous wife and hurt Stan with suspicions. Stan, with his dark face bent just above her own, Stans arms about her of course he loved her! He loved her atone! Judy had her golden moments. Stan came home early one afternoon, and Insisted that she run out to the Country Club with him.

Dont bother to doll up!" he called impatiently. Any thing will do. Ill drive the car'around in front. You get ready," The big shaded house It was the height, of the afternoon, Mrs Carter and Vera were both at bridge teas, Amy up in the city shopping had suddenly lost its gloomy silence. dashed upstairs to her own bedroom, pulling off her dress as she ran.

She could hear Stan driving the car from the garage, as she drew on a sweater and skirt and pulled on a pair of flat-heeled golf shoes. She ran down the long broad flight, a little song beginning in her heart. A golden day the glow of the country was reflected In Judy; heart as Stan turned the car onto the highway. Stan was In his most winning mood he had just turned a business deal, which netted him a fair commission and much satisfaction, and being Stan, had decided that it entitled him to celebrate by a holiday. Your education has been sadly neglected, girl!" He threatened Judy.

Im going to teach you golf! Do you think you know enough about it to teach anyone? Judy asked saucily, knowing that Stan took his game seriously. But hand went out to his knee, and her eyes looked love at him. Stan swung the car into the driveway before the red stucco club house with its awnlnged porches. Hello, theres some of the gang! At the head of the "wide steps, Eunice Wilson stood, swinging a club, while she talked with Georgia De Haas and Billy Sumner. Eunice, beautiful hs a picture In a white silk sport suit and a smart green hat, which turned her eyes to long enticing mysteries of jade.

And suddenly the peace of the golden day was shattered for Judy. She raged inwardly at having to quit the shelter of the car and walk up the steps under their critical eyes. She could cheerfully have assaulted Stan for telling her that anything would do to wear. Eunice's smart white silk, she knew, jnade her own tan woolen skirt and brown sweater look commonplace by comparison. Its perfect, that youve- come, Stan.

Georgia De Haas cut the greetings short with her high staccato voice. Were dying to make a foursome, and there are none of our own crowd here but imposslbla Tubby. Afraid youre nailing the wrong man, Georgia," Stan returned. I promised to teach Judy the game." Judy felt her cheeks flush as they looked at her. Conscious that she appeared stupid conscious that she appeared dowdy.

Eunices white lids narrowing over her Jade eyes in a lazy smile. What a brave person you are To allow your own husband to teach you golf! The course is strewn with the bleached bones of wives whose husbands started to teach them And the asylums are crowded with husbands Billy Sumner, like all good players, had little patience with the beginner. His humor was strained, and Judy heard him say in a savage undertone: Good Lord, Stan, youre a dummy What do you think we have the pro" for? No husband can teach his own wife. Come on, go around the course with us!" Judy spoke, quite as though her heart was not hammering with indignation. Yes, go ahead, dear; I dont feel like learning today.

Sixth floor Vera, It was, who managed the running hf household affairs, doing it with th. same high hand the same fretful comment with which ehe managed her interminable committees at the club. Judy was privatelf a little sorry for her elder slater-in-law.

It was easy to see that Vera was jealous and resentful of Amy. She had never forgiven Amy for marrying first, while Vera herself was growing into the role of the family old maid. She tried to hide her jealousy under an air of brisk efficiency. She would flop her stocky figure back In a chair, pulling off her heavy gloves Vera went in for sport gloves and manishly cut tweeds all the time keeping up a brisk complaint: My dear, Im utterly worn out Two meetings this morning, and this afternoon I have to arrange for the Summer finals. And theres the High Four Bridge Club supper to arrange.

Its a good thing" Vera would finish with an air of sacrifice that Im not tied down to a house and children! Someone haa to do the work" This last, pointed thrust at Amy, who refused to be annoyed by responsibility. Judy-rather liked Vera and she sec-retly pitied her. In her thick skinned, patronizing way. Vera was not unkind to her young ister-in-law. But there was a hidden dislike between Judy and Amy.

Amy was shollow and jealous and coldly selfish. She lived In this arge inconvenient old house, which she despised for its Ihck of modern comforts, because it relieved her of any responsibility, and left her free to lavish her monthly alimony on herself. Amy's days were a round of beauty parlors and shopping tours in company with Eunice Wilson. She and Eunice vied with each other in clothes and gay parties. Eunices beauty was a thorn in Amys side, and A my was tireless in her attempt to equal it.

She grudgingly paid the by-no-mean small wages of a grim faced Swedish maid, who had all the latest beauty tricks at the tips of her broad fingers. Amy was beaten and massaged and pummelled without mercy by the grim Hilda every day. Her dressing table and the cabinet of the square bathroom off her room were crowded with jars of cold cream, contour cream, tissue cream, meal for almond packs, skin tonics, face powders peach, mauve and sun-tan for Amys complexion changed with the different hours of the day. Through the half open door of her bedroom, Judy had seen Amy, a long figure wrapped in a sheet, with a startling green face, as she tried out a new beauty pack which hatg been recommended by Patty Warren. Amy was abetted in her campaign by Patty, who cannily played off Eunice against her, and thus reaped harvest both ways.

Pattys novelty store was a meeting place for the women of Amys set; Patty bullied Nthem, flattered them, relayed gossip amusingly, and charged them three times the worth of the dresses ang powders and perfumes, which she sold to them. Between Amy and Judytnere had been watchful waiting since the night Mme Carter had given Judy the Chinese shawl. Money was Arrys god. and there would be some money left at Mme Carters death. Shes not so straightforward and simple as she looks! Amy spoke of Judy to Eunice ever the tea table one afternoon, and the words came viciously through hgr clenched teeth.

Believe me, shell bear watching shes a deep fish!" A dreary round of empty days for Judy. All the more empty now, when Stan went up to the city to business. She found herself living for the quiet time of the evening, when she shut the door on the rest of the household, and had her handsome husband to herself. She knew she was a alien In this big formal house; that she was accepted by these people by the whole social set of Lockwood simply because she was Stans wife. The knowledge made her cheeks burn, and proud and miserable anger swept over her.

There were times when wounded pride bade her leave she got as far as packing her suitcase once, her tears falling onto the clothes she folded.

Commissioner Bigelow expresses the opinion that the Public Health Department should only have supervision of milk and shellfish. He questions what excess corn meal in sausages, liquor analyses for police, watering vinegar and cold storage eggs for fresh eggs have to do with public health. He declares: The people pay for one thing and get another. It's fraud, not health." Handling of the food and drug law violations. Commissioner Bigelow adds, takes up more time than all other duties of the department.

These laws give rise to irritation and resentment, he continued, which blocks progress in important fields." The commissioner makes it clear that his recommendation for the appointment of a special commission, consisting of a Senator, three Representatives and three appointed by the Governor, is not to be considered as a reflection on the director of the pure food and drug division of the department. In order to protect the public from the menace of 'consuming polluted shellfish," Commissioner Bigelow also recommended that the Legislature repeal an act passed this year under which a defense is provided for taking alleged contaminated shellfish. Under the law, the commissioner points out, a person may avoid punishment by declaring that the shellfish were taken from an area not designated as contaminated by the department. bidder who also had neglected to writs the amount."

In Lynn, the commission reports, the present building is ample to quarter troops now located in the Armory and inadequate only' in respect to storage facilities and provisions for proper exits from the drill shed. The commission recommends that sufficient land be taken between the drill shed and Pleasant st to permit the construction of a ramp properly connected with the drill shed to permit a right of way from the ramp to Pleasant st.

No armory is required in Lawrence, the commission states, although the building is somewhat crowded and is in need of repair. The taking of a parcel of land is recommended immediately adjacent to the far end of the drill shed, now occupied by a wooden structure, and the erection thereon of an addition to the present building for proper storage of equipment.

Lavelle yestereday- told the members of the State Department of Pub-lio Works at a private hearing at the State House that taking advantage of technicalities to rule out hi clients bid to build a section of the State highway from Needham to the Boston and Worcester turnpike at Wellesley cost the State $12,000.
