MINIVER :Adapted from the MGM Picture by HALSEY RAINES SYNOPSIS When she sees her familiar, be. loved Kentish village transformed by the stress of war, Mre. Miniver doea her part uncomplainingly. Her son, Vin, leaves Oxford and enlists In the air corps. Because It le wartime he and Carol Bel- don granddaughter of arletocratic Lady Beldon, decide to be mac fled without delay. During a sea - ore air raid, Mrs. Miniver, her husband, Clem, and the two young children escape Injury In a shelter, though the house Is badly dam- aged. Carol confides to Mrs. Min - Iver the thoughts the latter has not expressed aloud: her abject fear that something will happen to VIn and her determination to make every moment of present happiness count. CHAPTER SIX Not even the constant proces- alon of German bombers could atop Lady Beldon's annual flower show. It was mounted, with the 'moat peacetime grandeur, at Bel- don Hall, with everyone in the village, great and small, playl•ng is part. On a, long, low platform the most eminent Glee Club tal- ent of the county provided the supplementary entertainment. The great event of the 'after- noon, of course, was the judgi.ngq Tor the prize rose, which would earn the reward of Lady Beldol'a Challenge Cup. This was the bust- nese,closest to the elderly donor's (heart. Each year she bad put up the cup, staked her silver trophy against the field, and automatic- ally captured the prize. Competi- tion was aporadac and excessively .m ediocre. There a were rho e,0 s t who said the judges to d would soon sr e have tried to swim the length of the Thames than Vote againet Lady Beldon' entry, and risk her volcanic wrath. Today, however, the handeome, luxuriant ' flower entered by Stationmaster Ballard end christened "the Mos,, Mtn. aver," had excited involuntary tribute from almost all those w410 tweeted it. When the slip of paper announc- ing the judges' will had been brought to Lady Beldon, she cov- ertly looked at it and read: First Prize, Silver Cup, Lady Beldon. Second Prize, Certificate of Merit, James Ballard. Her eyes flashing triumph, Lady, Beldon handed the paper to Vin, who was standing by. "Congratulations! I'm not a bit surprised," he said drily. Ms -s. Miniver looked at the pa- per, which Vin had passed on. "This Is really important to you, isn't it?" he said., "Yes, it is," admitted Lady Bel- don. "It's stupid of me but there it is. I've won that cup for as long as I can remember." "Me..Ballard was awfully keen about his entry," said Mre. Man- iver with deliberation. "Well, he had his chancel" an- swered Lady'Beldon rather sharp- ly. She marched over to the awards table, and regarded with leonine gaze the two vacuous -faced men who were seated at the end of the judges' chairs. They turned ner- vously as she looked at them. Mali. Miniver, glancing over, felt that for once she and Lady Beldon had exactly the same thoughts. • e • The prizes for clwysanthemume, peonies and asters had been dis- tributed, when the Beldon Hall butler came hurrying over with a long face. "Mo'. Foley just called, m'Iady," he whispered. "He says there's An air raid attack in force." "Tell Foley to stick to the phone and give me good warning," ane. wered Lady Beldon, much as 11 she had been saying: "Two with cream." She drew herself erect, and an- nounced: "And now, ladies and gentlemen, we come to the final award, time Challenge, Cup for the best rose grown in the village dur- ing the past year." The crowd was quiet and expectant. Lady Beldon found herself unable to avoid foc- ussing her gaze on MT. Ballard, He was dressed in Sunday beat, with face flushed, as tense and excited as a schoolboy awaiting the result of his finals. An ah' na.id night be in the of- fing, but there Was a miniature battle going on inside, Lady Bel- don's mind, She had readied her ANNOUNCEMENT Although there la no C.N.E. thin Year. at which you can visit our booths, our Eu,calypttta.. pro" duct.

Now she crushed the pa.par in her hand and said: "First prize, the silver eu•p, goes to Mr, James Ballard, our popular stationmaster," After a moment of Incredulous s4lence, a great burst or cheering carne from the crowd. Lady Bel- don looked hurt, then continued: "Second prize, certificate or mer- it, goes to me." After another moment of ell - tante, the audience caught the dra- matic meaning oC the event, and broke out in a veritable fury of cheers and handclappia.g. In her palmiest days of easily scored victories, Lady Beldon hurl never received onetourth such a tribute. Her eyes became misty, as she lifted a hand. "I don't way I'm not disappoint- ed," she said. "But if I had to lose there's no man I'd sooner loco to than James Ballard. He's a man of spirit. Now I'm sorry to disturb the harmony of the proceedings, but I understand some raiders are on the way. It would be best to return hone." M * s ' With Lady Beldon left safely in her own shelter, Mrs, Miniver hur- ried with Carol and Vin to the air field. Bravely Carol parted from her boyish husband, while he tore across time field to join his squadron. Guns from afar were barking ominously, and dusk was being swallowed up by an -early darkness, as Mrs. Miniver started with Carol on the last lap toward Lome. "I wish I could go faster," she said, ":but it's so dark." With roaring, terrifying abrupt- ness, a host of planes seemed to emerge in the sky. A bomb crash- ed to earth, then another ... then a whole devastating succession. "Perhaps we should stop and put out the lights," said Mrs. Min- iver. !She drew up at the side of the road, as the whole fury in the heavens seemed to center about that spot of ground. The din was incessant, the danger terrible and mounting, but neither woman gave any taiga of flinching. Ata diving plane let loose a hail of machine. gun bullets, which sprayed around the car, Mrs, Miniver screamed. Then she saw lire rising from the village in the background. In an- other few minutes, as the vortex of the fighting shifted away from them, elle turned to take Carol's Band, The girl was limp and inert; a trickle of blood was running across her face , , , O • • The organ of the village church Was playing softly as the parish - toners filed inside. Vin looked years older. A spasm of pain shot BATON his face as he looked at Lady Beldon, across the aisle, and thought of the days when she had mot been there alone. Mrs. Miniver , glanced down and placed a hand over Crier son's, "Often after some great dis- aster," said the vicar slowly, "the survivors meet together w i t h hearts bowed down, wondering how they can face the future. I look into your faces and I know talk is not true of anyone here. War has broken the peace of cen- turlee in this quiet corner of Eng - lend, where death cannot strike without robbing urs all of a friend. We have lost one close to this church, close to our affections — James Ballard, stationmaster and bell-ringer , , ..and the proud win- ner only an hour before hie death of the Beldon Cup for his beauti- ful Miniver rose," He paused, and seemed striving to control any quiver in his awe voice. His eyes were fixed on time Miniver pew as he went on: "All ocr hearts go out in sym- pathy to the two families who share the cruel loss of a young gine married at this altar only two weeks ago." Again he paused, and looked upward. "The homes of many of us have been destroyed, the lives of young and old taken, yet we gather here, those who have been apaa•ed,' to worship God as our ancestors for a thousand years have worshipped him under this roof. "I shalt now read f • •tc from Realm aha Ninety -One. I will say of time Lord, He le my refuge and my fortress. My God, in Him will I trust. Sure- ly He shall deliver Thee from the snare' of the fowler, and from the noisome 'pestilence, Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that Sheth by day; nor for the pestil- ence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that was. tette at noonday. His buil shall be bisy shield and buckler." He closed his 'book. The organ - 1st struck a preliminary chord, and time 'congregation rose as one. For generations the men and wo- men and children of the villsge had sung the devout strains of "Oh God, Our help in Ages Past;" but: never with such intense and united algnifioaance, Aa the voices rang' but, a great beaalr ;of Sun. liigitt ea$to through a jagged hole tYn the roof, and covered the wore eibippens In a glow of yellow rad- lance. TI111 'END. Summer Inspires Winter Fashions Late summer to all intents and purposes it's that now, for its fashions Invariably carry over for autumn. The successful cot- ton frock becomes the inspira- tion for the new wool one. Clothes bought from now on should be selected with a view to being worn into autumn, or with the idea that they wlil be good style next summer. Women who have good fabrics on hand are going to remodel them if they can. It usually can be done. As a matter of fact, so many dresses are corn - posed of two fabrics and colors that the whole scheme seems to dovetail Except for the restrictions on width and some detail, there does not appear to be much identifi- cation of a new line or a drasti- cally changed one. Waistlines have been less restless lately and and do not show any sign at this time of either reaching a new high or sinking to a new low, They are where nature intended them to be, but they are accented. Nothing is straight up and down about this season's figure. In fact, dresses arc designed, and will continue to be designed to accent, not conceal, curves. But the feminine sissy or little sister look is uppermost. Queen of Holland On Shopping Tour The good ladies of Lee, Mass., were understandably excited by the arrival of Queen Wilhelmina, who is to stay there for the sum- mer, according to The New York- er. In one household we've heard from there was quite a bit of speculation as to how the Queen would spend her time, "She'll be scrubbing things," one small daughter of this household said, "The Dutch are the cleanest peo- ple in time world," There was some indulgent laughter, but the grown-ups stopped laughing when they heard about Wilhelmina'a first shopping trip in the village. At the grocer's she had bought ammonia, borax and soap chips. 'She had then gone to the drug- store and picked up a sponge.

Flowers Keep Fresh In Damp Sand Sir Philip Sassoon, English flower lover, discovered that his flowers keep fresh in damp sand. He has his flower bowls filled with moist sand, not sodden, and short stemmed flowers inserted in the sand. Those with shortest stems are arranged en the out- side with the longer -stemmed ones in the middle, forming a floral pyramid, and Amassed so that no sand shows. Flowers keep fresh much longer this way than in water, he says, At night the flower bowls are taken down to the cooler atmosphere of the cellar.
