CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT
FRED FOLDED the paper so
that he could easily show the pic-
ture to Miss Alice, and picked up a
| third paper. This was a tabloid,
and he was certain he would find
I Susan’s name or picture, or both,
somewhere about. And he wasn’t
J wrong. There was a picture of her
on Page 10, an article about her on
Page 3—and he caught his breath
j —and a reference to her in Mason
i Morgan’s gossip column. He read
the last-named in a grip of rage.
“Has Miss Typical Farmer’s
Daughter Fallen for the Slick City
Slicker? We wonder. Anyhow, it
would seem that even a rural
maiden likes eye-compelling eve-
ning gowns, and the urban man
knows where to go to buy them.”
Twice, three times, Fred read
those gossipy words, and each time
his rage increased.
He suddenly took Susan’s letter
from his pocket, and ran his eyes
down the page until he came to the
words, ‘‘I’m being given a perfectly
beautiful evening gown which was
designed by New York’s most fa-
mous and expensive designer, Pa-
tricia Potelli!” He read those words
twice—three times. Then he com-
pared them with the words in

certain exceptions, they didn’t have products we
buy. Time and events are proving otherwise.
Among the items of consumers goods formerly purchased ^a^iTewhy—* completely
generously in Europe were Italian pottery and men’s hand- He turned and dashed out to the
clocked, fine lisle hose from France Both are now obtained,
along with a large assortment of other articles, from our
South American neighbors. Pottery, blown glass in shapes un-
familiar to us, excellent leather goods, wooden articles of the
many fine woods native to the southern hemisphere, hand-
hammered copperware, dolls dressed in native costumes,
spoons and forks with unique carvings, and other goods, orna-
mental or useful, are all products that these neighbors have
long made and we have long ignored. ,
The fact that designs and treatment in many instances
are new to us simply adds to the enthusiasm with which we
discover that the New World has artisans as skilled and ma-
terials as lovely as the Old World. Native Indian crafts that
go back to the civilization of the Incas and Aztecs for inspira- i
tioo are available along with the sophisticated products of
city industries. - I
Other relationships between the Americas are of more j
immediate importance, no doubt, but when the war has been
won this trade relationship will surely prove of great value.

called.
“What on earth?” said Miss
Alice, looking up from the waffle
iron.
“I can’t stay to supper after all!”
“But Fred, you said
“I’m going to New York—right
away—now—tonight.
“New York! Fred Mosher, have
you lost your mind ?”
“No, but Susan’s lost hers,” said
Fred. He grabbed his hat “I’m go-
ing over and catch a plane in Char-
lottesville,” he said as he hurried
back through the house. “Some-
body’s got to rescue Susan, before
she—she—makes a holy mess of
her life!”
Miss Alice ran after him.
“But the waffles!” she wailed. “I
can’t eat them all.”
There was no answer.
Fred was already in his car—
driving off.
And as he sped toward Char-
lottesville where the nearest air-
port was located, Susan Farmer
and Mr. Daniel Van Wert Jones
were motoring in from Long Island.
They were in Mr. Jones’ roadster,
and Mr. Jones was driving.
And so you really like the
Dainty Diana Dairies farm,” he
was saying.
’Oh, yes!” said Susan, “I’ve
never seen such a perfectly run
place in all my life. And so cl^an.”
“That,” said Mr. Jones, “is one of
our best selling points—cleanli-
ness. ’So Clean You’d Be Glad to
Sleep in Them.” That’s a slogan
Roy Leonard once used in describ-
ing the barns where we keep our
cows.”
“They are clean enough to sleep
in,” said Susan. “And so white and
cheerful.” She sighed. “I wonder if
Aunt Alice and I will ever be able
to get the Farmer plantation to
look in the least like your wonder-
ful farm.”
Of course,” said Mr. Jones en-
couragingly. “But it takes time.”
He smiled at Susan. "You’re a
plucky girl, I can see that. Once
you make up your mind to do a
thing, you'll do it.”
“I try,” said Susan. “And now
that you and the dairy people have
been so generous, and I’Ve got all
that money in the bank, I think I’m
going to do wonders when I go
back home.”
When you go hack home,” Mr.
Jones repeated softly, thoughtful-
ly. “I shall hate to see you go, Su-
san, my dear. You’ve done things
to me.”
“W-w-what do you mean, Mr.
Jones?” Susan asked, remember-

ever knew a girl quite likp Maudie.
Sweet, wholesome, unselfish, and al-
ways planiving what a happy life
we would have together. Blond,
slender, and often dressed in a sun-
bonnet and gingham gown.” He
glanced at Susan and smiled. "Now
you see, my dear, why I was bo
eager to have you come up to New
York as the winner of our contest;
you were Maudie, my boyhood
sweetheart, coming back to me
over the’ years.” A pause and a
sigh. “But, to get on with my story.
It was just another case of a young
man wanting to get out into the
world, being selfish, not thinking
of what h«s sweetheart really want-
ed. I was like that.”
“You mean you left Maudie and
went out to seek your fortune?”
Susan asked.
Mr. Jones nodded slowly and
sadly.
“I was carried away with world-
ly things, and neglected Maudie. I
didn't write to her as often as I
should have, little knowing that
she wras not well. And then when
I heard of her illness, it was too
late. Someone wrote me about her,
and it was then that I seemed to
come to myself. I was like—like—”
Mr. Jones searched for a compari-
son. “Like a prodigal son. I sudden-
ly came to myself, and said I would
go home. I packed, and caught a
train. But when I got home, Maudie
was not there.”
“She'd moved away?”
'“No, my dear—she was dead.”
“Oh!” said Susan. “Ob, Mr.

he had said about Mrs. Jones.
“You’ve taken me out of myself,”
said Mr. Jones. "Carried me back
to my youth.” He slowly slowed
down the car. **I never told you, did
I, that a youthful tragedy left its
scar upon my heart and life?”
“No," said Susan, "you didn’t.
I’m sorry. I hope my coming up to
New York didn’t bring back sad
memories “Oh, no, no—you aim-
ply made me relive some of my
youth m imagination.” Mr. Jones
drew a deep breath. "The fact that
you made me think of dear little
Maudie is no fault of yours. She’s
really the heart and soul of my
youth. Do you mind if I talk about
her?” v
“Of course not,” said Susan. Tm
interested. I’d love hearing about
Maudie.”
Mr. Jones thought a moment,
and then he began speaking.
“I suppose every man has the
memory of a childhood sweet-
heart," he said. “Even Roy Leon-
ard, who’s a lot younger than I am.
But sometimes I think that no man
“Thasik you, my dear," said Mr.
Jones. “I knew you’d understand,
and sympathise with me. It’s a
comfort, too, being able to talk to
someone about Maudie. Naturally,
I find it difficult to talk about her
to Mrs. Jones. Women—especially
my wife—have strange ideas. Mrs.
Jones often gives me the impres-
sion that she doesn’t even like my
memory of Maudie."
“Poor little Maudie," said Susan.
"Dying like that—with you so far
away.”
“Yes,” said Mr. Jones. ”1 went
out to see where she was buried,
and as I stood there—in the rain—I
felt that something very fine and
wonderful had been taken out of
the world.” He looked at Susan.
“That’s why I feel I want to do
something for YOU, my dear.”
“For ME?” said Susan. “I—I’m
afraid I don’t quite understand.”
“I mean in memory of Maudie,”
Mr. Jones explained. “You under-
stand, don’t you, my dear?”
“I—I—think so,” said Susan.
