SEVENTH INSTALLMENT
Synopsis: Pauline, sentimental,
trustful, sincere and loving love, be
comes engaged and married Dennis
O’Hara in the belief that their blissful
happiness will continue unchanged
thru all the years. On her w-edding
morning she awakens with a strange
premonition that maybe love does
change, a thought buried in her mind
by a letter from her closest friend,
Barbara, the night before. Pauline
adored Barbara, who had been mar-
I erative earns, and the more he can
I spend with you and me.

du.stry from New Fingland induced the
tax authorities to voluntarily reduce
the loa<l. and in some cases wipe it
out in an effort to hold the fine pay
rolls in New England. Their effort.s
failed, and many mills moved South
<>nly to face a tremendous increase in
taxes. I fear our mills must suffer
the same experience as in New Eng
land. I fear that unless we as citizen.s

It’s him.self. Dennis spends several j
weeks in the ho.spital. Barbara re-!
turns to stay with I’auline, but on one I
pretext or another fails to visit Den-1

lino plans highly for Dennis’ return j
home. Barbara stays only one day af-'
ter Dennis’ return from the hospital. |
Much against his will, Dennis finds a^
new' altiactipn in Barbara, w’ho plays;
the same cool and detached role as j
formerly. A fortnight after Barbara’s 1

letter from Pauline that she and Den
