FIRST INSTALLMENT "Love doesn't last..." It was with those words ringing in her ears that Pauline woke on her wedding morning to find the sunshine pouring in at her window. "Love doesn't last..." It seemed strange that the one thought in her mind on this day of all days should be of those words in Barbara Stark's letter which had arrived late last night. Barbara was Pauline's best friend, for reasons that both of them would have found difficult to explain. The two girls were as unlike as it is possible to be, for while Pauline was young, unspoiled, and full of the joy of life, with a touching belief in happiness and the theory that love never dies, Barbara, at seven-and-twenty, seemed to have run through more experiences and emotions than many a woman double her age. She had been married, had been divorced, and at the moment was getting herself talked about everywhere by her wild extravagance and because of a new and violent friendship with a married man. But in spite of all these things Pauline adored her. The chief trouble was that Dennis did not approve of Barbara, and many times during her engagement Pauline's heart had been torn because of her love for her friend, and her love for the man she was to marry, and her desire to do as she wished. he had a motor car in which they were going away for a honeymoon trip; he had bought a house—quite a small one, but a "darling," so Pauline told everyone, and she had been quite sure that they would live happily ever after, until Barbara's letter came last night. Not that she was really seriously influenced by it — all Barbara's ideas about life were totally different from her own—but it was the first small shadow cast over the sunshine of her happiness. It was her wedding day! In the next room a white frock and veil lay on the bed, downstairs all the wedding presents were set out on long tables. She took up Dennis O'Hara's photograph and kissed it. In a few hours now she would be his wife—she would be Mrs. O'Hara. Dennis said he was not Irish, in spite of his name. Only yesterday she had almost covered a sheet of note paper with his name and her own joined together—Pauline O'Hara. There was a tap at the door, and her mother came in. "I've brought your tea myself this morning, darling. It's a lovely day—so warm and sunny." Did you sleep well? "Beautifully." But Pauline's heart gave a little throb of pain as she remembered it was the last time she would sleep here quite as herself. "I hope the sun will shine for you all your life," her mother said as she and Peterkin had been together, but never before he her like that or looked at him an expression in his eyes. Fond of Peterkin, but some heart resented that sudden affection. Her lips belonged—no other man had a ripe She tried to feel angry when it was a short-lived Peterkin! It was not sunday for him as it was gone her. She pulled off the little parcel he had brooded was from Barbara Stark's blue garter fastened with a "Just for luck"—so a message read — "and in has remembered to give 'something blue' which is insure happiness." Pauline let the little gift floor. She did not want luck from Barbara—for a felt as if the bad fairy of theery story had arrived and over her. Then she valued herself together. Such non-barna was her best friend, charming of her to remember superstition — of course, wear it. Then the bridesmaids came at the door, and there an important function of fixing and an excitement because been divorced, and at the moment was getting herself talked about everywhere by her wild extravagance and because of a new and violent friendship with a married man. But in spite of all these things Pauline adored her. The chief trouble was that Dennis did not approve of Barbara, and many times during her engagement Pauline's heart had been torn because of her love for her friend, and her love for the man she was to marry, and her desire to do as she wished. Many times she had tried to explain to Dennis her friendship for Barbara, and had always been conscious of failure. "I know people don't like her," she defended Barbara loyally, "but that's only because they don't know her and understand her as I do." "Her own fault," Dennis broke in grumly, but this Pauline would not allow. Pauline never really knew whether Barbara liked Dennis or disliked him. She was always charming to him when he would allow her to be, and yet last night, in the letter than accompanied a most beautiful gift, she had said things about marriage which had so impressed Pauline that she woke on her wedding morning with some of the words ringing in her ears. ". . . don't expect too much from your husband as I did! Any woman of experience will tell you that love doesn't last. Romance will wear thin. It's traditional that men get tired of the same woman. When you've been married a few years you'll be lucky if you're still good friends. Don't think I am saying these things to hurt you. I'm saying them because I want you to be happy, and you can only be happy after you're married by not expecting too much. Let him be quite free, too—don't try to chain him to you all the time—that's a sure way to kill love. . . "Love doesn't last. . ." Those were the words that haunted her as she sat up in bed, her fair hair rumpled childishly, her blue eyes blinking in the sunshine. The present Barbara had sent her was standing on a small table by itself. It was a small carved statuette in ivory and silver, of a small Cupid beating his hand in vain against a barred door, and underneath was the one word "Denied." It seemed a funny sort of wedding present to send anyone, Pauline thought, even while she realized its beauty. When she had shown it to Dennis he had laughed. "We's a miserable cynic," he said. "We'll put it in the spare room, so that she'll be able to look at it as much as she likes when she comes to stay—I suppose she will come—" "Of course she will," Pauline answered quickly, but she had not told him about Barbara's letter; she had burned it. kissed her. "There is an old saying: 'Keep your face to the sunshine and the shadows will fall behind you.' Now drink your tea and get dressed." Then, being a sensible mother, she went quickly away, before Pauline saw the tears in her eyes. Pauline drank her tea, bathed, and dressed. There were a lot of people staying in the house—cousins, aunts, and a bachelor uncle, and two children who were to be bridesmaids—the morning seemed to fly till suddenly Pauline's mother said: "It's time you dressed, darling." Pauline was conscious of a little shock, and for a moment a wild sense of panic took possession of her. It was as if someone had said: "This is the beginning of the end. After to-day life will be quite different. You will never really belong to yourself any more or be free to do as you like." With an effort she pulled herself together. What nonsense! When she was marrying a man she loved with her whole heart and was going to a happiness far greater than any she had not arrived. She was getting a little overdone, and her mother cleared everyone out of the shutting the door, took Pa arms. "I wish you all the happy world," she said, and now she hide the tears in her eyes. Good boy, and he loves you you are in trouble, don't for have a mother, Pauline." Pauline gently disengaged from her mother's arms. "Do you think love lasts? In a tense little voice. There was a short silent mother laughed. "It all depended on you mean by love." Paul stooped to pick up a fallen haps because for a moment quite sure of the expression "Love changes, of course, always for the better. You up the excitement of bel When you're living together ferent." "You mean—they get us..." It seemed a funny sort of wedding present to send anyone, Pauline thought, even while she realized its beauty. When she had shown it to Dennis he had laughed. "She's a miserable cynic," he said. "We'll put it in the spare room, so that she'll be able to look at it as much as she likes when she comes to stay—I suppose she will come—" "Of course she will," Pauline answered quickly, but she had not told him about Barbara's letter; she had burned it. "Love doesn't last..." Of course, that had been Barbara's own experience. Pauline was not clear as to the facts of her friend's marriage—she had never spoke of her husband. That he had made good provision for her was common knowledge, that he was somewhere abroad was a vaguely accepted fact, and that the divorce had actually been nobody's fault but one of those "arranged" affairs was agreed by the charitable. Pauline thought it was all very pathetic. Sometimes the far-away lonely look in Barbara's eyes made her heart ache, and yet Barbara always seemed happy enough. She laughed a great deal, she went everywhere (she dressed beautifully, and yet strange quality of mother love in Pauline's affection for her told Pauline that in reality she was not a happy woman. "No heart!" So Dennis summed her up. "Selfish as the devil. I know the type well." Sometimes Pauline was tempted to think he was right. Dear Dennis, who was so good to everyone. Dennis had fallen in love with Pauline at first sight, so he said, and she—well, there had never been another man in the world for her. "Much better for you if there had been," so Barbara declared. "First love generally comes a cropper for want of experience." Pauline had laughed at the time, but now the words returned to her with a little sting. She dismissed them determinedly—what did it matter what one embittered outlook prophesied? She knew she would be perfectly happy. Dennis was quite well off, and he had prospects. He was thirty-two, and Pauline was conscious of a little shock, and for a moment a wild sense of panic took possession of her. It was as if someone had said: "This is the beginning of the end. After to-day life will be quite different. You will never really belong to yourself any more or be free to do as you like." With an effort she pulled herself together. What nonsense! When she was marrying a man she loved with her whole heart and was going to a happiness far greater than any she had ever known. She hummed a snatch of a song as she ran upstairs to her room. She was at the door when someone came up the stairs behind her two at a time, and Peter Johnson — a very favorite cousin, who would have liked to be something nearer and dearer — called her name. "Pauline!" "Hullo, Peterkin." He joined her rather breathlessly. "This has just come. I thought you'd like to open it." He gave her a small parcel. "Thank you." Pauline was turning away when he caught her hand. "I just want to wish you the best of luck—always—and happiness—heaps of it." She tried gently to release her hand, but he held it fast. "I'll always be the same, Pauline—always there if you want me. If ever there should be any trouble..." Again Pauline was conscious of that little shadowy premonition. What trouble could there be? Why did everyone insist that her sunshine was bound to be clouded? She laughed in nervous exasperation. "I suppose you are one of those people who believe that love never lasts," she said defiantly. "My love for you will last," Peter answered, and then before she could stop him he had taken her by the shoulders and kissed her on the lips. "All the best," he said, not very steadily, and before she could move nead gone, and she heard him clattering away down the stairs again. Pauline went into her room and shut the door. She felt a little shaken and almost as if she wanted to cry. She from her mother's arms in a tense little voice. There was a short silence mother laughed. "It all depends you mean by love." Pauline stooped to pick up a fallen haps because for a moment quite sure of the expression "Love changes, of course, always for the better. You up the excitement of being When you're living together ferent." "You mean—they get us Pauline said. 'You mean, the same sort of longing to be is that what you mean?'" "My dear little girl—" Pauline broke in ruthless joy you love Daddy very much married him? "Very much indeed." And were you disappeared? "Things are always difficult what one expects." And do you love him still Pauline's mother looked at—but it's different," she sailed as if regretting the admission ened to add: "But no two real alike. We must all shape our tinies. You will find out f There was a little silence in drew a hard breath like for a moment her pretty sad. "I wonder why," she said.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Citrus Growers Warned To Beware of Unlicensed, Unbonded Consignment Men Complaints Received From Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties Indicate Operation of Persons Who Are Unable To Show Blue Authorization Cards Citrus growers of Southern California are specifically and emphatically warned concerning the operations of unlicensed and unbonded consignment dealers and shippers, according to notices being given by C. J. Carey, chief of the division of market enforcement of the state department of agriculture. "Growers and agricultural groups in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties," stated Carey, "inform me of the activities of dealers, large and small, who are soliciting consignments of fruit. I wish to warn these growers that only dealers who have posted a $5,000 bond with the state department of agriculture and who have received a license from the division, are qualified to take consignments. Beware of field agents who are unable to show the blue authorization card issued by the division. Report immediately to our southern office, 204 California State building, Los Angeles, the activities of unlicensed operators, in order that we may take the matter up with your local district attorney. The law provides for both heavy fine and imprisonment for soliciting or taking consignments without a license." Carey further reminded growers that Peppers Fruit company, which formerly operated extensively on a consignment basis in the citrus belt, is not qualified to do consignment business. "Growers should remember," Carey warned, "that we have refused to issue a consignment license to Peppers Fruit company by reason of the long standing indebtedness of the concern to California growers. Reports that the license will be restored are false and growers consigning to this company do so at their own risk." Pamphlets outlining the law, containing a list of licensed dealers, and large warning cards are available for free distribution on request to the Los Angeles office.

Corcoran of Chicago, pushed up a dumbbell, weighing 12 pounds, 14,000 times, with one hand from shoulder to full arm's length above the head. It is not recorded who did the counting. In ancient times athletes were barred from further competition when they reached the age of 35. It is not generally known that Pop Warner, Stanford's famous football coach, was a boxing champion when a student at Cornell. Amos Alonzo Stagg, famous veteran coach of the University of Chicago, was elected on Walter Camp's all-American team of 1889. Sing Sing prison football team has a black sheep for a mascot. Grower Conclave At Ventura Soon Many Outstanding Speakers Obtained to Address State-Wide Meet At the coming 65th annual Farmers and Fruit Growers convention to be held in the City of Ventura, December 7-8-9, every effort has been made to line out a program that covers the different phases of agriculture that are under discussion at the present time. Outstanding speakers have been secured to speak on these different subjects. One of these subjects to be discussed is "Water Conservation in Southern California." Many men qualified to discuss this matter have stated that they would be present and take part in the program. Among these are W. S. Rosecrans of Los Angeles, C. Roy Browning of Tustin, Vernon Freeman of Santa Paula, J. N. Thille of Ventura county, George Cecil, manager safety & fire prevention committee, and F. E. Trask, civil engineer. All of these men have had considerable experience in water conservation, and this program is well worth attending by anyone interested in agriculture. This program will be on the afternoon of December 8th. George Schlmeyer, master California State Grange, has been invited to act as chairman for this program. Issues Licenses After December 1 Department of Motor Vehicles It is not generally known that Pop Warner, Stanford's famous football coach, was a boxing champion when a student at Cornell.

The French are going in for ostrich racing. In a football game years ago between the University of Michigan and the University of Minnesota, Minnesota gained nearly 400 yards to Michigan's 19, Minnesota made twenty first downs to Michigan's one, and yet Michigan won, 7 to 6. In 1880 H. Leussing, of Cincinnati, with his hands alone, lifted 1,384 pounds. In 1868 W. B. Curtis, of New York, with the help of harness, lifted 3,239 pounds. It is generally believed that wrestling is the most ancient of sports. Weaver, Center College, kicked 53 out of 53 tries for goal after touchdown during the season of 1920. Basketball was originally played with seven men on a side, then nine then eight. Finally the present five men on a side was developed. Harvard University has been playing football since 1874. In 1920 H. P. Muller, football player on a University of California team, threw a forward pass to H. W. Stephane a distance of 70 yards. Ohio State University was the opposing team. This is believed to be a record. In the first football game there were 25 men on a side. Six goals constituted a game. The ball had to be kicked—throwing or carrying was prohibited. "Orderly Marketing" Topic for Convention "Let's Not Forget Orderly Marketing." This subject is to be discussed at the annual 65th Farmers and Fruit Growers Convention to be held in Ventura December 7-8-9, by Dr. E. A. Stokdyk of the University of California. This subject should be of great interest to everyone engaged in agricultural pursuits. This matter will be discussed on the third morning of the convention, which is December 9th. Issues Licenses After December 1 Department of Motor Vehicles Receiving Applications for New Plates Applications for 1933 license plates will be accepted on and after December 1st by the department of motor vehicles if sent by mail. This announcement was made today by Registrar Russell Bevans. Bevans said that although such applications would not be filled until after the holidays, the department is anxious to get in as many early applications as possible in order to avoid congestion and give better service to the public. Bevans pointed out that it is extremely advantageous for the motorist to use this means of getting his plates inasmuch as it will relieve him of making a special trip to some branch office for them. To make application by mail it is only necessary that the motorist send the amount of his fee and his white certificate of registration direct to the department of motor vehicles, division of registration, Sacramento, California. To those who contemplate using this method to obtain plates Bevans gave the following instructions: 1. Do not send currency. Send money orders, bank drafts or certified checks. The fee is the same as last year. 2. If you have moved since the last issuance of plates, cross out the old address on your certificate of registration and write or print your new address above the old. 3. If you have completed payments on your car during the year send both your white and pink certificates and an additional $1 as your transfer fee. The Family Doctor by JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. CARE OF THE AGED At this writing I have eight people under my care who are over eighty years of age—six men and two women. All but two of them are on foot; one woman has had a "stroke" but can get about and help herself. She is 85. The other is just past eighty, and has a sprained hip, using crutches to go about her house. One old man, 86, is a veteran of the civil war; another will be 88 at his next birthday. It is interesting to watch these old boys and girls, who have somehow come mighty close to living the right way, else they could not have achieved all these years with such success; I meet many of half their ages who really complain more than they do. And they know just a little more about what is good for them to eat than I do. I never put them on a diet, except to ask them to eat what "agrees" with them. If I caught one old fellow eating salted peanuts and topping off with ice cream, I would stop him. If one has diabetes, I do not by any means cut off a reasonable amount of sugar from his dietary. I have always been a stickler for letting well enough alone. One of them—just went out my door this moment—has a leg ulcer. I keep DRY dressings applied while it heals nicely. He laughs over the situation, not at all like a much younger man would do. And, my-old people are so appreciative; they make one love them. They have lived all these years, I have no doubt, on that very principle. The fellow who is eternally finding fault is in a poor way to live out a long and beautiful existence, because he burns up the good within him. We younger ones may learn from this. A.B.C.
