the library Better Homes and Gar
dens House and Garden and The

1 People who are not themselves
active gardeners enjoy reading about
ofhei people's gardens and few hooks
have been more popular in the library
during recent months than Beverley
Nichols’s "Down the Garden Path."
A Thatched Roof" and “A Village in
a Valiev wherein he tells the sim
ple annals of his English cottage and
garden and the quiet village in which
they lie His friends, Cecil Roberts
ra- borrowed a leaf from Nichols’s
book and has written just as charm
ingly an account of his English cot
rage and garden in "Gone Rustic"
Before these books became the vogue,
a discriminating few were enjoying
Anne Boswotth Greenes "Dipper
Hill, which is a day-to-day chronicle
of the birth and growth of a Ver
mont garden.
A handsome hook, published in 1934 )
is Riohaidson Wright’s "Story of
Gardening," which takes one down ,
the ages, from “the hanging gardens j
of Babylon to the hanging gardens of 1
New York," wi;h delightful stop-overs j
in Grecian gardens, Roman roof gar- I
den-, gardens in Cathay and old Ja !
pan, Mohammedian gardens, and j
those of England and France.
The Shakespeare Garden" is an j
unusual and interesting book hy Es
ther Singleton, who says in her pre
face. "I discovered long ago that there
was no adequate book on the Eliza
bethan garden and the condition of |
floriculture in Shakespeare’s time, j
Every Shakespeare student knows
how frequently and with what sub
tle appreciation Shakespeare speaks
of Flowers ... It is my hope, there
fore that this hook will help those
de ire a perfect Shakespeare garden,
besides giving Shakespeare lovers a
rew idea of the gardens and flowers
of Shakespeare’s time.”
If a beginner wants information on
practical gardening, the library has
King’s "The Beginner's Garden." Mrs.
King has also written somg. very prac
tical advice on laying out a modest
garden and on the flowet- for it in
The Little Garden.” A similar honk
is Brewster's "The Tattle Garden for
Lurie Money.”
A comprehensive hook in small com
pass is “Flowers for Every Garden"
by Louise Bush-Brown. McCurdy’s
Book of Garden Flowers” is another !
of the same type.
Orrloff’s “Garden Blue Book of
Annuals and Biennials" is just what
it- name indicate: If advice on per
ennials is sought, it may be found
abundantly in “A Little Book of Per
ennials” by Hottes, Quackenbush’s
Perennials of Flowerland”, and Ort
luff's "Perennial Garden."
The cultivation of that, loveliest of
flowers, the rose, is discussed in de
tail in McFarland’s “The Rose in
America" and Thomas’s “The Prac
tical Book of Outdoor Rose Growing”.
Ihe latter is magnificently illustrated
with pictures of various roses in
color, that look even more alluring
and certainly more nalural than those
in the seed catalogues.
An equally beautiful hook and one
that is, as its title indicates, more
comprehensive, is "Garden Flowers

a picture cyclopedia of flowers, in
which advice on the cultivation of
the various flowers is interspersed
with the most gorgeous colored plates (

77 Highway Deaths
For Past Month
' |
(Continued from Page One.)
328 injured in 260 accidents.
“Recklessness and carelessness, com
i hined « ith ercessive speed, continues
I to he the chief cause of automobile
accidents in North Carolina, the
monthly records show,” Director Har
ris said. "The only thing that will
ouib these accidents, in my opinion
is rigid enforcement of the new driv
ers' license law by means of a high
way patrol large enough to make the
| careless and reckless drivers feel the
I teeth in the law.”
Director Harris is convinced that
the State should have a higfway pa
trol of not less than 250 patrolmen
and officers in order to properly en
force the highway laws and the new
drivers license law.
Sixty of the 77 killed and 200 of the
482 injured were due primarily to
carelessness, recklessness or too much !
speed, Harris pointed out. Hit-and-run
drivers were responsible for 11 fatal
and 24 non-fatal accidents- reckless
drivers for 13 fatal and 76 non-fatal
accidents; speeding for 16 fatal and
28 non-fatal accidents and losing con- j
trol for 5 fatal and 22 non-fatal I
crashes, in addition to the five fatal
and 50 non-fatal crack-ups attribut
ed to drunken drivers.
Pedestrians again suffered heavily,
wiiii 26 pedestrians killed and 47 in
-1 jilted by being hit by cars. Os these
five children were killed and 1S in
jured while playing in the streets,
eleven pedestrians were killed and 6
injured while walking on the high
way and three were killed and two
injured while walking across the
roadv/ay.
Collision accidents continued to be
more numerous than any others, with
54 killed and 399 inured in collision
accidentsj of various sorts—and al
most all collision accidents are due
to carelessness on the part of the
driver of one car or the other or both
according to Harris.
There were fewer fatal accidents
but more non-fatal accidents in cities
than in marl sections, while there
were more fatal rural accidents as
follows:
In cities: eight fatal and 157 non
fatal accidents.
In rural section: 64 fatal and 146
non-fatal accidents.
The reason for this, according to
Harris, is that people as a rule drive j
more slowly in the cities, with the
result that if cars do collide they do
not do so with as much force as on
the highways outside of cities. (Mroe j
persons are accordingly killed and j
injured in the accidents in the rural j
sections where the cars usually travel j
at much higher speeds.

I Peter 3:8-18, the Golden Text be
ing in verse 15, “Sanctify in your
hearts Christ as Lord.”)
By DR. ALVIN E. BELL
The word “finally” being the first
word of today’s lesson suggests that
we go back over the ground the
Apostle ePter has traversed in his
message to the persecuted Christians
to whom lie writes this final exhorta
tion. He had exhorted his readers to
live lives of purity that those about
them might he led to glorify God,
2:11, 12; he exhorts them to good cit
izenship for the Lord’s sake, 2:13, he
exhorts to faithfulness, cit
ing the example of Christ and urging
them to "follow his steps”, 2:18: he
exhorts wives and husbands to loving
service to one another as joint heirs
of the grace of life, 3:7; having thus
dealt with these personal, civic and
domestic duties he now closes with
these final exhortations which are
universal in theii'scope and applica
tion to all Christians alike.
Brotherly Love
First among these final universal
Christian duties to which Peter now
exhorts his readers is that of broth
erly love: “Finally, he ye all like
minded, compassionate, loving as
brethren, tenderhearted, humble-mind
ed.”
Thinking in love, even towards
those who were persecuting them in
their fiery trial, they would think
unitedly, sympathetically, tenderly
and humbly. j
Where had Peter learned those ten
der graces? They were not his thirty
years before, when he wielded the
sword so rashly in the Garden of
Gethsemane. But he has been “san
ctifying Christ as Lord in his heart”
for thirty years, and behold, this is
the .result! What he means is not
just merely loving the lovely who love
us: one need not be a Christian to
do that, for even the heathen can do

They were to consider all of their

part of the sufferings of Christ: “For

Consuelo, a beautiful gypsy girt
who longs to dance, is loved by the
Dummy, a deaf mute, and Mareu.
She despises her mother, Anica, out
is fond of her father, Girtza. Mareu
tempts Consuelo with a huge dia
mond and she agrees to marry him,
Hut on her wedding day she boards
a train for New York on which are
riding Stewart Blackmire, theatrical
producer; Doug, his secretary, and
Bill, a friend. Consuelo had danced
for them 10 days previously when
their private car had been waiting
on a railroad siding in town. In
New York a series of publicity
stunt's prepares the gypsy for h,er
: debut in thb Follies. I She has an
altercation with Louise, star of the
show and Stewart's friend. Doug
takes Consuelo to a fashionable shop
to outfit her in American clothes.

"Back again, kid, bow! They’re

pushing her.
“No, there is tomorrow night!”
The show was ended. Tongues
were loosened. Typewriter keys
were clicking. The story of the gyp
sy’s success was going to press.
Backstage was crowded. The alley
and far out into the street was
blocked. People were trying to get
past the doorman. There was noise,
excitement. Voices babbling, the
undertone a medley of praise for the
gypsy. She had lighted a flame for
them and they were willing moths.
>AH backstage was ringing with
excitement. The hallway was lined
with flowers, tribute that overflowed
from the arms of the gypsy’s dress
ing room. Their fragrance mingled
with cigaret smoke. Goldberg, hold
ing out his chest like a fat frog, was
posted in front of her door, chuck
ling and explaining that she was his
“find”, and blinking his eyes know
ingly and telling the gentlemen of
the press all about this gypsy girl
and what he planned for her.

He was grinning.
"You can’t go in.” Goldberg whis
pered. “She’s got her door locked.
She’s got something in her gypsy
noodle and that Douglas is behind
it and they won’t let me in even."
Someone called Stewart. He dis
appeared. He came back sweating,
but Still grinning. He said he had
to put in a call for the police. When
they came, sirens shrieking, they
made a lane through the mass of
people out in the streets for the
members of the show to get out of
the theater. As they passed, the
crowds shouted for them. They
were all part of this triumph.
In the dressing room with the star
on the door, Louise L’Vrlle was
pacing back and forth, a lighted cig
aret trembling between her lips.
Finally she left the room. She called
Stewart to her. ’
“Get me out of here. I’m going
home! ”
“Yes. my dear, but why home?
The dinner—”
Tor the gypsy—” Contemptuous
words on her lips. “No, thanks :
I’ve had enough for one night. I'm
going home.”
“I’ll have to go.”
“You would!”
He took her arm. The police made
away for them down this line of
faces. The woman was smiling, ac
cepting their shouts of praise, but
her head was light, her feet un
steady and she clung to Stewart’s
aim. 36 Louise I/Ville, star of the
Follies, went home.
It was almost with a sigh of re

house had seemed to the gypsy girl
who never had danced to suth an
audience. lie remembered her
dream. That day she had told him
of it he had promised her slippers
with “real” high heels. He thought
of all the things he had given her
since, that he knew of only by the
bills which came in and were all
part of this business of putting her
over and held no personal interest as
those slippers had.
He thought of the time she had
said, “All of this am 1 worth and I
offer myself to you for nothing if
only you will take me to New York.”
And again on the train, “I will let
this man stand beside me—” He had
kissed her then for the first and only
time and the kiss had stirred him.
But in New York it was different.
The gypsy was a gypsy. She had
not even danced well until tonight.
Now she had gone over. He won
dered how r this touch of success
would change her. He pictured her
walking through the crowded alley,
black hair flying, wide skirt swishing
around her legs, anklets making
music, eyes glowing. Perhaps she
would want to dance there in ths
street for them, or perhaps She
would give out kisses to those who
crowded round her. Ah, now there
was the trouble with the gypsy, she
was too free with herself.
He realized that backstage was
alive again. He heard a shout.
“She’s coming now!” The cigaret
in his fingers had already gone out,
but he dropped it to the floor and
stepped on it automatically before he
turned. He started forward like a
man who has seen an apparition, for
there was the gypsy girl—except she
was a gypsy no longer.
He stared like a country bumpkin,
for he had never seen anyone so
beautiful. She stood poised on the
steps, a warm living statue. She
'wore a white satin gown that was
molded to her figure, the simplicity
of the lines giving it elegance. Her
lustrous hair was parted in the mid
dle and brushed close to her head
and brought to the back in a low
knot on her neck. From her ears
hung diamond earrings and the dia
monds were dulled by the sparkle
of her eyes. Her throat was bare.
Over her arms she held a white er
mine and fox wrap and on her feet
were dainty white satin slippers that
peeked from the folds of the gown.
Stewart drew in his breath. He
had no idea that she might look like
this. He had never realized that her
throat was so perfect, or her skin so
fine, or her eyes so mysterious, or
the lashes that shaded them so long.
He had never dreamed that her feet
were so small or the shape of her
body so desirable. He had never
suspected that she might be any
thing else than a “gypsy”.
She started dow r n the steps again.
She saw him now. She saw the
look in his eyes and her own
