“Paul, what'? wrong with us?
Why are we acting like thia when
it’s so ridiculous to go on pretend-
ing that we love each other?”
Paul’s gaze was on her lips and
for a split second she thought he
was going to take her in his arms.
But he turned quickly away. "Let's
;et out of here, Cary, and have
lunch somewhere."
They lunched at the Coronado
Hotel and later drove down the
Silver Strand and acrosa the bor-
der to Tiajuana. Cary remem-

ever seen. 7
I "It is lovely, isn’t it?" Helen
said. "It has been In the family
for years. I wore it for my engage-
ment and Mr. Norris' mother and
grandmother wore It. Now you will
wear It. If you cars to have it re-
set. there are several designs in
the book I have here which I like
very much. You may select one.
They were made up by the court
jeweler of Louis XIV." She waited
for the fact to impress Cary. “We
have used ths designs ever since.”
Cary said, “Oh," again and thU
time it sounded, even to her, .in-
adequate.
"Wouldn't you like to slip it on,
my deah?" Mrs. Norris suggested.
Cary took the ring from the box
and slipped it on her finger. The
stone was too large, too heavy, too

than usual and her nose a little with the house on Mission Hills. It
was Mediterranean - Moorish in
type, and aj) Paul and she ascend-
ed the steps to the front door,
Cary had visions of bright chairs
beneath the awning that shaded
the flat Seville sun deck.
But when Paul Inserted his key
into the lock and opened the door
for her to go inside, her hopes
were cruelly shattered by what she
saw. The outside belied the formal
spaciousness of the Interior. As
she went from the too-large living
room up jAtwide stairway into
the innutaMble bedrooms, with
their adjoining batlfs, and from
there into the servants’ quarters,
which would have served an aver-
age family without crowding, Cary
felt more and more depressed.
Somehow this was not the stuff
of which her dreams were made.
Strange that she should remem-
ber so vividly in this moment, the
rtunbllng old house at the Garth
ranch—cool in summer and frh-
grant with freshly cut Bowels'
from the garden; warm In winter
with open fires. A much lived-in
house. Sudden nostalgia swept
over her.
You don’t like it," Pall said
simply, as she stared at it all.
“It’s so much more than I had
planned on, Paul. It’s so large.
You and I will be lost and it will
take so many servants to keep it.
We could do with a much smaller
place — say two bedrooms for
awhile. I could carry on most -of
my own work. I'd like that."
"I know,” Paul said helplessly,
"but mother discovered this place
herself. It would hurt her ter-
ribly if we did not like it.’’
“We will like It," Cary said with
a brightness which she did not
feel, for she had to say something
to erase the pain abtfut Paul’s
mouth. “When we go from the
living room to the back bedroom

Small said the best budget offi- ot little,’if any value Nor any pur-
cer would be a former member of
i the House appropriations commit-
tee or the Senate finance commit- 1
tee. He doesn't expect either to be- ’
come governor. In fact, he doesn't
’ consider any legislator has much 1
chance to become governor. He had J
some practical experience along 1
that line hs a candidate. 1
Lieut. Gov. Coke R. Stevenson ’
of Junction sat poker-faced while
Small explained his views to the
Senate. Stevenson is looked upon
by many as a likely candidate for 1
governor when he completes his '
I
present term as "assistant gover-
nor. ” v
Small said a man who has serv- (
* ed in the Legislature makes so
many enemies in the course of ,
his term that he is ruined as a (
candidate. "Whichever u^ty he ,
votes, he makes someone mad," (
Small said. ,
Stevenson won |he race for lieut-
enant-governor after serving many
terms in the House of Representa-
tives. He was twice its speaker. |
Former Gov. Pat M. Neff was
the last governor who had been a
legislator. There was a long period
between the time he was speaker
of the House and his election to
be governor. . „
In recent years the attorney
general's office has furnished most
of Jhe successful candidates for
governor. They, necessarily, were
lawyers. The business world has
furnished most of the exceptions.
Former Governor James E. Fer-
guson was a lawyer, but' he was
elected as a banker. ■>
Former Governor W. P. Hobby
was a publisher when he became
lieutenant-governor and then gov-
ernor. Former Governor Ross S.
.Sterling-stepped from the oil busi-
ness into the governorship and
Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel was a flour
man.
Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, only
woman governor, was proud to be I
known as a good housekeeper and
cook.
The Amarillo senator is looked
upon by his Colleagues as a mem-
ber who talks little, plans much
.nJ usually gets results in the
;?nate.
They were especially attentive
when Small introduced a bill tc
refund the state deflck by issu-
ing $17,000,000 in bonds. Many be
lieve that if the proposal t ver came
o a vote, Stpall would be against
it himself. Th the meantime it ser-
ved as an effective reminder that |
the state owes other debts besides
its promise of social security. The
deficit represents claims of people
who have actually given the state
something for which they have not
yet bfen paid.
Both senators and representa-
tives were startled this week When
they were asked to vote for a reso-
lution designating a joint confmit-

Sometimes it takes an agency outside the government to
teU t|)e hard |ruth ,*bout government matters, just as some-
times it is necessary "for someone outside the fffrnily to tell
ua the unpalitaBle trufth about durselves.
The Rrookings Institution is an admirable organization,
and has given real service to the country by study of tnany
problems from an unprejudiced position which no govern-
ment agency can quite assume.
Latest is its study of government economy, and the pos-
sibilities of really cutting down the federal budget.
The conclusions presented are so sensible, and so appar-
ently true .that it is like a fresh breeze to have someone put
them tato words.
Briefly, they ape that no "cheese-paring’’ economy wave
is going to make so much as a dent in federal expenditures.
Old Washingtonians remember the “Coolidge economy
wave” that rah through all the government establishments
at one phase of his administration. There was a great flut-
ter of writing on both sides of the paper, and not getting a
new pencil until the stub of the old one had been turned in.
The net result was a great deal of amused or annoyed com-
ment from government workers, but no saving in the cost
of government that was in any sense worth all the hulla-
baloo.
The Brookings report recognizes the futility ‘ of this.
"Economy large enough to count in the federal budget can
come only from elimination and curtailment of certain types
of activities, a step which involves large issues of public
policy," it insists. v 1
Does the Department of Agriculture cost too much?
Then savings must come, not from making each employe
use old report sheets for scratch-paper, but from eliminating
entirely whole departments and services as either unneces-
sary or overlapping other serpvices.
Does the Interior Department cost too much? Then sav-
ings must be made by discontinuing whole divisions, say the
Division of Forests, or the Office of Education, or the Pe-
troleum Conservation Commission, letting their whole func-
tions go by the boards.
Even the most careful elimination of duplicated effort can
not do much to reduci expenses. It should be done, but it
will not solve the problem.
The central problem, as the Institution makes clear, “in-
volves large issues of public policies." Only those who are
prepared to face reduced service from the federal govern- The next morning Cary wAa up
