Bill and 1 spent two glamorous
years in Paris. 5
Father wrote weekly, always
cheerfully. He was well, Leah
was coddling himout of all rhyme
and reason, he dined out often
and had a friend or two to din
ner at least once a week. Flora at
first wrote almost daily, then
weekly, then monthly then hard
ly at all. I was not sorry not to
have her lefters. She missed me
terribly, she wasn’t very well,
Gloria Louise was a littl. ange!;

wag the same, only more. so.
Annabelle ‘wrote cheerfully,
Flora reported, but never invited
her own twin sister to visit her,
never invited her mother, either
When Flora sent her a hint, she
ignored it. Amy was as big as a
house. Next, Amy had twin boys,
and they both looked exactly like
Nelson, and Sam’s nose certainly
Iwas out of joint—it wasn't Flo
ra’s fault that Sam’s two chil
dren werg girls. ‘
Later Flora wrote she was go
ing to have another baby, and
she hoped she would die. From
then on | dreaded to even see an
envelope in her writing her com
plaints were so constant. Even
when, in- 1921, she at last bove
the long-wanteq son, the letters
were hardly more cheerful. She
actually claimed that Sam held
it against her because Sam Jun
ior dig not turn out to be twins.
I had sent Annabvelle a belated
wedding present from Paris, and
in acknowledging it she wrote
me a long friendly letter. She
seemed happy, almost gay. She
wrote that the four stepsons were
high-strung children and dread
fully spoiled, but that they were
at last beginning to be her
friends; that Pittsfield had open
ed its arms to her, and she had
‘been entertained from morning
to night; that she had taken up
’golf and tennis as well as the
new dances; that her house was
large, her two ' servants well
trained; that she had a lovely
garden and had been elected a
member of the Pittsfield Garden
Club, a great honor for a new
comer; that she often went into
Boston for the symphonies and
plays, anq that Boston enchant
ed her — altogether a satisfacto
ry letter from a contented happy
bride except that she never once
mentioned her new husband
even by implication.

Bill’s father anq mother came
over to stay with us in the sum
mer of 1921, and we motored
w_ith them through the hill towns
of Italy. I begged Father to come
too, eithe:'then or for Christmas
bpt he wouldn’t. T was the more
disappointeq because Bill had ap
piied for another year's leave in
order to study at Oxford for his
Ph.D. He got the leave, and we
settled in Oxford for almost a
year and had a different sort of
time, almost as happy as in Faris.
In the early autumn of 1922 we
at last came home, and for good.
. Father and Bill’'s father and
mother met us in New York and
we had a few days together. Then
Bill went back to Boston for a
week’s visit while I went home
with Father, On the train Father
tol4 me all the news.
Flora was giving me a big par
ty the evening after my arrival.
Fiora and Sam bickered an.
fought, but because of the children
he thought Sam would stick it
out, and Flora had no choice but
tc stay where her livelihood was
Fathen said that Annabelle sel
dom wrote home and then only
to he-r moher; her letters were
full of boast of new possessions
and social triumphs, but Flora

‘well. As far as he knew nothing
had been heard from M. Tolliver
for seven years or so, but Nelson
claimed that Amy knew where
her father was and occasionally
wrote to him. ;
Nelson ang Amy were extreme
ly happy —the other Tollivers
hadn’t seemed.to do so well when
it came to marrying, but Amy’s
marriage was a complete and
brilliant success. That was be
cause Amy had echaracter ang in
tegrity, which Flora and possibly
Annabelle lacked. Amy was a
giver as well as a taker. There
never was:.'a finer woman than
Amy Forbes and her marriage

her.

1 had looked forward to seeing
old friends, to describing new
and novel experiences, to being
fussed over. But my welcome
home turned out a complete and
awtul fizzle. 5
My friends flocked to seg me,
and I went to '‘as many as five
parties a day—breakfasts, lunch
eons, card parties, teas, dinners—-
but at all these affairs I barely
had the chance to open my mouth
'except toask an occasional ques
;tion. Otsego was ntevested nei
ther in my marriage. my life in
‘Paris, nor my _ housekeeping in
Oxford. For, it came out the
lmorning after my arrival home,
Amy Forbes the day before had
run . away from Nelson, her
‘mother, and her charming twin
‘boys; with the traditional letter
left on her husband’s pincushion.
~ The letter was brief. It asked
Nel!son’s forgiveness and her
mother’s forgiveness. Amy hoped
that Nelson, in the “kindness of
his generous heart, would not
teach her boys to hate her. She
loved little Nelson and Johnny,
she loveq them all, and shé&
thanked Nelson for his continued
kindness, but she had to go.
There was no further explana
tion. She had taken less than S2O
ang only a small suitcase. If she
went by train, no one had seen
her. Nelson hired detectives, but
he coulq find no trace of her.
What did my homecoming
amount to, compared to this spicy
and provocative tidbit? Otsego, 1
believe. had never had such a
gooqd time. When I left for Ithaca,
a sadde: if wiser woman, no
trace of Amy Forbhes had been
found. .

tion time? |
The San Francisco Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to An

cate and dogs that ceincides with
the summer vacation season. In
April it picked up 1,255 cats and
1,738 dogs. By June the number
had risen to 1,616 cats ang 2,240
dogs.
“Too often,” says Charles Fried
richs, Jlocal SPCA secretary
“neighbors who promise to look
after Rover are careless. Other
vacationers abandon their ani

to the SPCA.
“These- wandering cats and
dogs, too, eventually reach the
SPCA, starved or misused in
their search for the home. they
once knew.”

University Demonstration Cannery
One Of Most Modern In This Section
By Paul Williams
The University of Georgia
Demonstration School Canning
Plant, which now boasts of being
one of the largest and most up
to-date community canneries in
the state, had its beginning in a
tiny abandoned building on the
South campus. The University sup
plied the building and the equip
ment was paid for by donations
from rural families in the Athens
area. That was five years ago, in
1942.
Today a modern five-family unit
capable of turning out over 2,000
cans of processed food daily is in
'operation at Boulevard and Satula
Avenue. The new building was
erected in 1944 by the Clarke
County Commisseicners and turn
ed over to the Demonstration
School for operation. It was equip
ped with funds provided by local
families and organizations and by
the Food Production War Training
Program.
Some 500 Clarke County families
reaped benefits from the plant to
the tune of approximately 85,000
cans of fruits, vegetables, and
Miss Papassinession Of Athens, Greece,
Spoke At Meeting Of Athens Pilot Club
At the business meeting of the
Atheng Pilot Club, the delegates,
Virginia Kellar, Blanche Hubert,
end Frances Lang igave reports
on the International Convention
held in Columbus, Ohio.
Since the Gainesville Club had
no delegates at the convention,
our delegates with Alvie Hill,
who is on the International
Board, were invited to meet with
them and give reports on the
convention.
At the program meeting
Blanche Hubert, who was in
charge of the program, intraduc
ed Jeanette Smiley who in turn
introduced the speaker of the
evening. Miss Sophie Papassines
f\on_of Athens, Greece. Miss Pa
passinession, who is a charming
speaker, is attenang the Univer
sity of Georgia on a Rotary Inter
national Scholarship. She speaks
six languages and has studied in
Greece, France and Egypt.
Her talk, on the conditions in
Greece, was most interesting and
informative. Sihe said that only
50 percent of the soil of Greece
ig fertile, therefore the economic
situation in Greece has always
been rather bad but that since
the war, the conditions are far
wo-se. To off-set this situation,
Greece hag developed tourists
centers. Ang requires all Greeks
living in other countries to pay
tax to Greece as well as their
adopted country with the excep
tion of those living in America
who have become American citi
zens.
Miss Pappassinession said that
the greatest’ cduse of friendship
felt by the Greeks for the Ameri
cans ig the real democratic spirit
her. and mot the worldly goods
they get from America.

ed to be fully as great this year,
according to Charles Rose, plant
supervisor,
Co-Operative Set Up
From the beginning, the cannery
has been a cooperative undertak
ing set up for the purpose of as
sisting local families in the preser
vation of surplus food products
and, at the same time, serving as
a part of the regular educational
program of the Demonstration '
School. The school supplies the!
equipment and the instructions. |
Families interested in canning
food carry out the steps in can
ning under the supervision of the!
home economics and agrieulture
teachers. 4
.By observation and participa
tion in the canning program,
teacher trainees at the University
get practical experience in the op
eration of a community cannery. |
In addition, the plant is used for;,
demonstration purposes for high
school FFA and home economics
students as a pari of their course
of study. I
She agrees fully with one of
the United States senators, when
speaking of th loan from Ameri

people are not as responsive to
Communism as hungry people.
Pilots Edna and Mary Duncan,
LaGrange and Pilot Grace
Spears, Gainesville have been
attending the meetings' of the
Athens Club whileg studying at
the University this summer.
Former Pilot Fairy Morris and
Miss Josephine Hodgson were
also guests.
