Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife... by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Service Sallie Answers Barry To have pretended to myself that I was unmoved by the musician's ardent wooing would have been untrue, for his sincerity and devotion, expressed in such persuasive language, had reassured me that, in spite of Curtiss' painful indifference, I was not entirely without charm. Then, too, I had been utterly lonely for so many months and had felt for such a long time Then confused, disordered thoughts came pounding in on me and a strenuous mental conflict ensued while I disengaged myself from his embrace.

Then confused, disordered thoughts came pounding in on me and a strenuous mental conflict ensued while I disengaged myself from his embrace. Mrs. Browning had written, in the fullness of her great love, for the Florentine poet that "a woman's greatest need is just the need of being needed," or words of similar sentiment, and certainly no truer words have ever been penned. I had begun to realize, too, that a woman must be necessary to someone else's happiness or usefulness, be it children, parents, husband or friend, otherwise her mothering instinct becomes a bothersome complex and makes of her existence a highly unsatisfactory affair. And so when Barry came to call one evening not long after Ellie and I had had our talk, I had made up my mind to tell him that I would become his wife. Ellie, with her usual diplomacy, had seen to it that she and Carmen both disappeared with their "dates" before he arrived. We seated ourselves on Ellie's down-cushioned divan. He took both my hands in his, and I thought he would discuss his concert, but, with his usual impetuosity, he came directly to the subject which was always uppermost in his mind: "Well, petite Olseau," he always used French in his tenderer moods, "am I to have my answer tonight? I've been thinking all day of a wonderful place we can spend our honeymoon. High up in the Swiss Alps at the beautiful little village of Caux. It overlooks Lac Leman—the bluest of all the lakes in the world—and in May the hillside and valley are an unbroken bed of white narcissi. There's a splendid hotel, and at that season there are very few guests, Caux being famous, really, you know, for its winter sports and," he went on, his eyes bright with his plans, "in the springtime the air is so delicously sharp that huge logs roar in fireplaces at either end of the lounge, the sides of which are made of innumerable windows, through which one always gets a matchless view of dancing, sun-kissed water and snow-capped Alps. You'll love Caux!" mouth, the whole situation stood revealed. A wave of terror swept over me at the thought of dissolving my matrimonial ties and becoming the wife of someone else. Then I bowed my face in my hands and sobbed as if my heart had lost its sunshine and its joy. "Why, dearest, what on earth is the matter?" Barry asked, "how sorry I am! Forgive me, won't you, precious, for being a boor. Not for all the world would I have brought tears to your beautiful eyes." With gentle words and gestures he tried to comfort me, until finally I returned to the resolution I had made before he came. I recalled Ellie's conversation and each cruel word she had employed in telling me that Curtiss no longer loved me or wanted me for his wife. I flung up my head, brushed the remaining trace well under way.

You'll love Caux! he finished, "and from there we can go to other places that are sure to fill you with delight." "But what about your music, Barry?" I asked tentatively, for it was his art that I was most interested in and not the lovers' paradise he had so charmingly painted in picturesque terms. "Later, Adoree, we shall return to Paris to live, or perhaps you would like a pretty chateau in Fontainebleau!" with fervent enthusiasm he continued making his plans, "we'll have such jolly times, Sallie-dear, won't you please tell me that you'll marry me soon?" "Are you sure that you love me so much?" I finally asked in an effort to gain further time before my final reply. My silence and the question which followed gave Barry hope. He took me in his arms: "Oh, my beloved," he murmured, with lips against my hair, "why will you tantalize me so?" and before I realized it his lips had found my mouth and he kissed me with tender yearning again and again. I, who had longed so for Curtiss and his caresses, found myself as rigid and unresponsive as a piece of ice in the arms of another man. Then confused, disordered thoughts came pounding in on me and a strenuous mental conflict ensued, while I disengaged myself from his embrace. I couldn't marry Barry! I couldn't! I had not realized until now all that it would mean. I had only thought of going to him as a comrade, a friend to help and inspire him in his great work, but with the intimate picture he had drawn of our honeymoon dancing in my brain and his kisses still warm against my Why, dearest, what on earth is the matter?" Barry asked, "how sorry I am! Forgive me, won't you, precious, for being a boor. Not for all the world would I have brought tears to your beautiful eyes." With gentle words and gestures he tried to comfort me, until finally I returned to the resolution I had made before he came. I recalled Ellie's conversation and each cruel word she had employed in telling me that Curtiss no longer loved me or wanted me for his wife. I flung up my head, brushed the remaining trace of tears from my eyes and, spurred on by that age-old impulse which drives lovers to drastic action from sheer plique, I sald: "Oh, it's all right, Barry. It's just that you're sorter strange to me, you know, and the idea of marrying you is very, very new. I've told you, Barry, time and again," I hurried on, "that my heart belongs to Curtiss Wright. I still want to impress you with that, in all fairness to yourself, also to tell you frankly that I do not love you as you deserve to be loved, but," I concluded. "if you still want me, knowing all this, I'll try my best to make you happy and to bury the past." There was no breaking down, no hysteria, or uncertain delay, but the words were uttered with such dreadful calm that they rang through Ellie's beautiful room with the weird sound of a funeral dirge. "I want you under any circumstances," Barry replied, and I suppose I should have appreciated his devotion and that his promptness in replying should have warmed my heart. "And now, Barry, if you please. I want to be alone. I think he understood my mood, for this time he only kissed my hand, and, as radiant as a youngster on Christmas morning, left the room. Long after he had gone I compared this cold matter-of-fact engagement with the way I had felt when Curtiss had proposed. Then the world had been transformed into a garden-spot in the midst of rosette clouds and we the only two beings in a beautiful Eden of dreams. I had heard of women marrying the second time, making successful wives and gaining Florida Citrus Crop Seriously Damaged Many Trees Destroyed by the Great Hurricane Although the disastrous hurricane of September 18 missed the larger part of the orange districts in Florida, still its path was directly across the section of the state where the heaviest grapefruit planting has been carried on the past years. Dade county, on the east coast, and Lee county, on the west coast, suffered most severely, although about 25 per cent loss is reported from De Soto county, touched by the northern fringe of the hurricane. Dade and Lee counties are largely planted to grapefruit. De Soto county is mostly oranges, so the 25 per cent loss reported from there is principally on that variety. All the grapefruit in Lee county is reported to be gone, and 50 per cent of the trees uprooted. About 75 per cent of the oranges in this county are a total loss. Dade county reports 75 per cent damage on grapefruit. There is some damage in the Indian River section and other districts lying south of a line drawn between Fort Pierce, on the east coast, and Tampa, on the west coast. In addition to fruit actually blown from the trees, there is much fruit still hanging, that is badly bruised or left in such weakened condition that it will be rendered unfit for market. The full extent of this damage will not be determined until the shipping season gets well under way. The actual loss at the present time, according to the best estimates available, is variously placed at from 10 to 15 per cent of the orange crop and 15 to 20 per cent of the grapefruit crop. In boxes this is approximately 1,500,000 boxes of oranges and 1,200,000 boxes of grapefruit, if the larger estimates are correct. Estimating the total crop before this last hurricane at 16,000,000 boxes oranges and grapefruit, this reduction of 2,700,000 boxes will bring the crop down to 13,300,000 boxes, a million and a half less boxes than were shipped last year.

The loss of this year's crop, however, is only secondary to the damage to the trees in the counties directly in the path of the storm. a certain measure of contentment and joy, but, for me, I was sure that the thrilling exuberance of first-love would never again be mine. Anyway, if Curtiss didn't want me what difference did it make? If I refused Barry I would probably stay on in New York and become hardened to the aimless pleasure-loving existence led by Ellie and Carmen in their ultra-modern set, and old associations with Curtiss would forever keep me away from my father's home—the place where we had first met. And, too, as I grew older I would long for companionship and certainly Barry could give me that. I recalled a fragment of one of Edna St. Vincent Millay's charming little songs, and for hours it spun itself in and out of my mind: "You might as well be calling yours What never will be his, And one of us be happy: There's few enough as is." At any rate I had made my decision and my fate was on the lap of the gods. (To Be Continued Next Week) September Report of Cow-Testing Assn. A summary of the Orange County Farm Bureau Cow-Testing Association shows 917 cows in the association, with 740 cows tested for the month. They averaged 951 pounds of milk and 35.1 pounds of butterfat. This average includes only those milking. Taking into consideration all of the cows, including helpers—which have freshened, an average of 736.1 pounds of milk and 28.36 pounds of butterfat is obtained. This latter average over a period of 12 months should be of most interest to the dairymen. We find total herd averages ranging from 20.5 pounds of butterfat to 38.4 pounds of butterfat. W. L. Walton's herd has the distinction of the latter average. Before Fall Nights Come WITH cool, Fall nights almost here; the proper heating of your home must of necessity be considered.

Your tax bill covers only the cost of County and City government—County only if you do not live in a municipality. The cost of State government is paid by Corporations through a direct percentage of their revenue. For Electric Companies this is 7½ per cent. Taxes paid by the Edison Company last year were nearly two million dollars. Seven and a half cents of every dollar you pay the Edison company goes to the State for roads, schools, asylums and other important institutions. City-owned electric works do not pay this tax and thus dodge their share of supporting the State government. you pay the Edison company goes to the State for roads, schools, asylums and other important institutions.
