OLGA’S
! ORANGE
| BLOSSOMS
******************^ # *^.^ #< .^;
(© by D. J. Walsh.!
OLGA watched the postman
come down the street, whist
ling, his dog Bob at his heels.
She hud known the postman
since he was seven. He had a pleas
ant word for her whenever he saw
her. He was passing as usual when
suddenly lie turned hack and came to
the steps where Olga was sitting io
warm herself. The house was cold
within.
“You’ve got a nice place here, Miss
Hurd,” he said. “But it’s klnda off by
itself like. And you live all alone.
Don’t you ever get lonesome?”
Tears filled Olga's eyes. She swal
lowed hard, struggled for calm speech.
“You’re the first person that’s ever
asked me if 1 was lonesome," she said
at last. “Everybody seems to take it
tor granted that I live here this way
because I want to.”
The postman shifted his leather
until pouch with its bulging contents
“1 don't know what made me ask
you that,” he said apologetically. But
the truth was the sight of the woman
sitting there in the sunshine, tiny and
old and pathetic, on a morning made
for youth, love and joy. touched his
heart. He had just got engaged to a
nice girl and he wanted everybody to
be as happy as he was.
“And I don’t know what makes me
want to fell you something I have
never breathed to a living soul in this
town, though I have lived here many
years,” Olga replied. “I've got folks
Not here; a long ways off. Once 1—
1 did something that set Jhem all
against me. And now 1 wouldn’t
make up with one of them to save
his life.” Her wistful look became
grim.
“I’d let ’em all go hang,” the post
man said. Then tie moved away, re
solving to bring his old friend a box
of candy on tiis next trip round that
afternoon. But before another hour
had passed Olga had a visitor.
A blue coupe drove right up to.the
door. Out stepped a girl who brought
a pair of suitcases with her. She
marched up to Olga, who was sweep
ing the front porch.
“Hello. Aunt olga!” she Said. “I’m
your niece. Helen, your youngest
brother Gordon’s girl. Now, don’t
send me away without giving me a
trial. Maybe you’ll like me when you
get to know me.”
Olga, white and stern, faced the
vivid, dark girl who looked so fresh
and pretty in her tan sports costume
She did not speak.
“Aunt Olga.” Helen said, “I’ve come
to you for sanctuary.”
“Sanctuary!” gasped Olga. And then
she understood. She held out her
arms. The girl met her in a warm
embrace.
“You’ve got to be good to me, Aunt
Olga,” she said.
“Good to you!” Olga sobbed. “Oh.
my dear! You’ll see.”
They shared the lunch that was
barely big enough for one. Not that
food mattered. Olga was too happy
to eat. She could only gaze at her
radiant young niece. Her own flesh
and blood companioning her in her
house after all the years of loneliness!
Next day Helen confided to her aunt
that she was going to be married.
‘‘Will you let me he married here?
I’ve enough money for all my things.”
So the child was going to be mar
ried ! Further confidences followed.
Olga asked no questions; she let Hel
en tell what she would. Helen seemed
to he quietly matter of fact.
For the next fortnight the blue
coupe dashed hack and forth betwixt
hamlet and city. Olga had entered
upon a great and delightful adventure
She was helping Helen choose her
wedding trousseau. The house must
he fixed up for the wedding, too—new
paper, paint, draperies. Olga drew
from- her small savings and let Helen
spend the money. The girl had rare
good sense and not a penny got away
from tier honest and earnest grasp
Poo. she could hari£ wall paper and
wield a paint brush in a way that
made Mr. Seeley, the local house deco
rator. stare in amazement.
•‘My business,” Helen explained
taughing, and again Olga got a sur
prise. “Interior decorating —that’s my
job. 1 gave four years to it at col
leg£. Confess, Aunt Olga, that you
like your house a lot better. To me
it looks as if it had taken its apron
off and changed its dress. It’s a
house to be happy in now—and gay
and just a bit foolish, maybe.
The house was ready now for the
wedding. Helen’s colorful gowns
looked in keeping, strewn about the
rooms. Even Olga had anew frock,
a misty gray thing. And Helen had.
almost forcibly, borne her into a
beauty shop in town and had her silk
en silvery hair given a permanent.
Olga had just loved the operation; she
had felt rich and luxurious and almost
young as she sat In an atmosphere ot
faint perfume and gentle ministration,
waiting for her hair to be done.
Helen’s wedding day seemed to be
attended by a good nf mystery
but still Olga asked no questions. She
was letting herself he borne along on
a tide of expectancy and joy. Dick
came the day before. He was big and
young and splendid. When he kissed
01-m and called her aunt she had a
delicious thrill. From the moment of
his arrival there was a whirl of glee.
Dick and Helen brought in armfuls of
flowers. Olga grew a hit reckless and
made a sponge cake with six eggs.
On the day of days Helen made
THE RO( KD\LE RECORD FRIDAY. OCTORRR tS
< Iga dress before she put on her own
wedding gown of filmy white. She
even touched Olga’s cheeks with rouge
from her own vanity case,
"Oh, you darling!" the girl breathed,
her eyes lustrous. "To think of all
you might have had”—the lustrous
eyes dimmed with tears.
Helen looked lovely in her filmy
frock. Dick was grand.
At the last moment it seemed a
great closed car drove up to the house.
Out of it stepped an elderly couple,
an old couple, a single woman, a sin
gle man, a glowing young girl.
“Who are these,” gasped Olga, and
her cheeks paled under the dainty
rouge.
Helen put an arm about the trem
bling figure.
“My father and mother," she said,
"Uncle Pat and Aunt Elsie, Cousin
Adelade, Cousin George and Cousin
George’s daughter, Jean. All the best
of the clan are here. Aunt Olga, not
so much to come to my wedding as to
do you honor. Keep calm. Carry it
off—for my sake. Uemember you are
altogether lovely, that Dick and I love
you, that I chose your home for the
most glorious event of my whole life.
Now behave like a dear little hostess
and welcome your relatives.”
And Olga rose to the occasion. Her
dignity and her grace and her hospi
tality lent charm to the whole occa
sion.
After the ceremony a caterer
brought in the wedding luncheon at
which Aunt Olga was almost as much
admired as the bride herself.
The following afternoon a happy
young couple sat in a boat that drifted
gently on a sun lit lake.
“It took lots of head work to pull
off that si tint." Helen said. “Dad and
mom were dead against it at first and
Cousin Adelaide turned up tier aristo
cratic nose. But I was a determined
woman. You remember that day we
found Aunt Olga’s picture in that old
album? That’s when I got the idea of
going to her house and being married
there. Of course. I had to win her
over by degrees; it wasn’t 1 easy. Her
pride had suffered too keenly. It only
they had been kinder she would not
have run away and wasted her life in
solitude and loneliness—oh. Dick, dar
ling! Did you see her face when site
held my orange blossoms in her
hands?" Helen's voice broke.
Dick bowed his head. "And noth
ing ever looked purer than did stie at
tiiat moment —not even you. my flaw
less pearl of girls.” he said tenderly
Italian Long Ago Had
Idea of “Flying Boat”
Francesco de l.ana gave both the
believers in flying and the skeptic of
his day. something serious to think
about in his design for a flying boat
published in 1670. He stirred up a
veritable tempest which did not sub
side for more than a hundred years,
when tiie principle he sponsored was
made practical in the invention ot the
Montgolfier brothers. As late as 1753.
Clement Cavalcaho, Baroni delli Mar
chesi, refuted Lana's supposition with
these conclusions: “The atmosphere
has always been unknown to man. and
will continue to he a region unknown
to him. No one. not even the Demon
himself, has the power to teach man
any method by which he may explore
that region, either by increasing his
motive power or by diminishing very
considerably his specific gravity/’ Fif
teen years later, Bernardo Znmngna.
one of the perennial defenders of
l.ana, brought out his description of
an imaginary journey in a flying ma
chine similar in construction to Lana’s
flying boat. Lana’s much discussed
design proposed the use of four hol
low spheres of ttiin copper, each 20
feet in diameter and so thin that they
would weigh less than an equal bulk
of atmosphere when they were ex
hausted of air. To these globes a
boat was to he fastened in which the
pilot and his appendages were to he
stationed for the purpose of directing
the machine. l.ana was thus the first
to establish a theory verified by math
ematical accuracy anti clearness of
perception of the real nature and pres
sure of the atmosphere, the same the
ory which is at the basis of balloon
flying of the present day.
A public ascension of a flying boat
invented by Bartholomeau Loureneo
de Gusman, a Spaniard, is claimed for
1700. hut it was I.ana’s investigations
which were the most far reaching tn
influence. Many of his deductions
were drawn from the work of his
predecessors and from a study of me
chanical toys, the flying mechanical
pigeon of Archytas. the flying mag
netic dove of Kircher, and iron auto
matic fly and eagle which were invent
ed at Nuremberg. A curious parallel
to this is found in the automatic toy
of the Wright brothers, the study of
which led them to certain conclusions
concerning the nature of air. later ap
plied in the construction of the first
successful airplane in 1903.—Boston
Herald.
Tiny Tot Churche*
There are several churches in Great
Britain which have doll house dimen
sions. The smallest ecclesiastical
building in Britain is said to he St.
Margaret’s chapel. Edinburgh, whose
dimensions are 10Ms feet by 10% feet,
making a total of 173% feet. The tiny
Dorset church of Winferborne Thomp

measurements being 23 feet by 14
feet
Other tiny churches are those at
Culbone. 33 feet by 12 feet, and St
Lawrence (before enlargement), 50

“Oh, yes,” the child replied, confi

The next day his mother pointed
to the same letters again.
"Cun you tell me this morning what
these letters are?” she asked him.
Charles’ face beamed with pride as
Ids chubby little finger pointed to the
bold letters in his hook.
“This,’’ he said, “Is big me and this
is little me." —Indianapolis News.

Time Spent in School
According to a statement of Dr. W.
S. Deffenbuugh of the Bureau of Edu
catlon, if a child attends school 6
hours for 200 days of the year from
the age of six to seventeen, inclusive,
he Is In school only 14,400 hours. As
suming that 9 hours are spent In
sleep, he has 15 hours a day at his
disposal during the 12 years in which
he is awake 65,700 hours. Consequent
ly he Is in school only 21.9 per cent
of the time awake from six to eighteen
years. As the actual average school
attendance Is only 152 days a year,
American hoys and girls are spending
only 11.4 of their waking time In
school.
