EVEN MARCIA tw Impressed by
Helane. Bhe «as at that onter world,
tha epitome of life and rmnnntT, with
reservattemv She had to admit that
aha
hrlaae. but the girt radiated the u*-
■uranca and power and elan which
Marcia enned. And though Helane
prained and adored and laughed at
some things with a significant in
dulgence. there were incidents which
told her what llelane really thought
of them all. There was the incident
upstairs in Kola's room when some
of them had congregated to adjust
their make-up.
Helane opened an immensely hand
tome silver make-up box on the dress
ing table. They all knew it >vas hem
It was decorated with intaglio designs
In modernistic black enanieL There
was nothing like it for sale In all
Mitchelfield. To sec the treasure was ,
enough; but when, upon opening It,
there emerged from its depths a
so and of tinkling melody, the audi
ence stood aghast.
It was their turn to exclaim, which
they did In unison. Helane looked at
•acb of them in surprise: rather, at
their reflections in the mirrrr of the
dressing table at which «h.e sat.
“Why! did you never see t- musical
powder l>ox?" she asked In wide as
tonishment
None of them had. they had to
admit candidly.
“Oh, I love that! How utterly fn
sular! Horry. 1 mean, really, you are
so quaint Why, these were all the
rage In New York, months ago.
Really, they're quite *ont' now, hut
the thing still amuses me. so I keep I

guidly. "one does feel rather extrava

much.

"I think i know,” Marcia offered.
"There! What did I tell you? Now

Murcia relished her moment of
!secretive importance, even the queer

I "Who is the mysterious stranger?”
; someone demahded.
“You’d be surprised.” Marcia offered

I "Well, of course, lie's staying at

manded.
“What's the idea of his being here

Ted, soberly.

holidays, Henderson had sold 17,129,-

for $1,509,853.05, at an average price
of SB.BI per hundred pounds.
The market Is not expected to ex

Marcia, having read innumerable
books that dealt cursorily with only
parts of it. wondered. The globe
seemed to shrink considerably, then
and there.
Helane was amused, too, at the
homemade contents of the flasks
which some of the boys produced.
Also at the guilelessnass with which

the remainilpy of the'two dozen girls
who were over their
modest skirts and sweaters, some of
them of last season. But the picnic
proved to tie a successful affair,
nevertheless. Helane said she would
store It away ih her best collection
of memories. Perhaps she would, and
for whVh the others could
not guess. •Somehow, 4 it was strange
that even though all the boys were
more or less attentive to Helane dur

letter that followed her east when she
departed at the end of the week.
Marcia, however, was not ore of
the temporarily anxious. Ted “could

Collectibn* of City And County Taxes Are Reported
To Compare Favora My With Previous Year
Tax collections, both city and coun
ty, op to the first of January com
pare favorably xvith the previous year,
aooording to the reports of the city
clerk and the sheriffs office here. The
amounts collected, taking into con
sideration the reduction of the tax
levy this year, are relatively on par
with collections in 19S0, an examina
tion of the report shows.
According to the figures of the tax
collection bureaus here n total of |38,-
483.88 has been collected in city taxes
while $T7,000 has been collected in
ounty taxes.' At the same time last
year city tax collections totalled $40,-
861-91- Taking into consideration the
ten percent tax cut over the previous
year, the collections are about on par
with those of that year.
The county tax levy this year Is
about $203,000 against a levy of ap
proximately $375,000 last year. In 1930

Hi J. I’. ItASHI'IIYILI.
Raleigh, Jan. 1.- -Of Ihc many relief
organizations now operating in this
State, The Wilmington Relief associa
tion is one of the very best, accord
ing to the Governor's Council on Un
employment and Relief. The Wilming
ton plan is working nicely and in
similar to the general plan of relief
which the Council is urging all cities
of 25.000 and more epopulation to put
into operation. Each city has made
slight changes in the plan as devised
by the Council. The Wilmington plan,
which is a flexible- one, is ho handled
as to bp readily adapted to the needs
of any urban community.
The Wilmington plan is unique in
this hense- -Wilmington and New Han
over country are almost one unit
and this makes the work of relief in
the entire coiinty moat easily handled
by a city relief organisation. While
most city relief units have not yet
felt their peak loads of unemploment,
the Wilmington unit was taking care
of its peak load about November Ist.

December 81, which is & favorable
comparison.
Payment of taxes la expected to
continue heavy at the offices of both
the city and county collectors during
January, with the collectors expecting
to continue their favorable showing
as compared with the previous year.
Due to the reduction in the tax rates
for the city and county, a large num
ber of persons are expected to find
it left: difficult to raise the needed
amounts to y«iy off their public ob
ligations for the post year and it is
probable that this year there will be
a reduction in the tax foreclosure
sales of property.
Persons who paid their taxes be
fore the first of the year were grant
ed a slight discount, while those who
fail to pay before the first of Keb

amount during the month of Jrutuaiy.
have been put to work. And that is
a real record of achievement. A re
lief fund of $40,000 was raised in 1930
for the work in and around Wilming
ton. This fund has been raised to
$85,000 for the work now going on.
That fact alone is also commendable
and shows the spirit of the people of
Wilmington and New Hanover county.
Most of this fund was given by per
sons employed, who donated one day's
