King Waters, who is expecting to sign up for staking speeches before young men's organi- zations to raise the morale, discusses Andy Thanes draft status with Mrs. Waters, who has already developed quite a reputation for hoarding, goes on a shopping trip and does some more hoarding. She drives to her cabin and as she enters finds evidence that someone is in the place ahead of her. • "I let Kurt have tonight,off," Leila Orton mentioned geneously, "because he's gone to the suburbs to see a guy who wants to sell his boat. The suburbs is about as far as Kurt can go, without having to notify the authorities." She didn't know about other enemy ,aliens, Leila said but. Kurt certainly had small chance of escaping, if he ever wished to escape. "The FBI wouldbe nothing compared if Ire tried to duck." H.

It had been such a long Winter, she Tour- inured and all the snow seemed to conte in February. "How I hate plowing through drifts ' on a cold morning -Sarah always has our walk cleaned when I start out, but she's the only one. The rest of the streets are beautiful white drifts." The weather would undoubtedly be balmy as soon as she quit her job and stayed in, 'the cynical Leila suggested. Coles Arnold and blond Patty Bailey, engaged now, were fifteen minutes late and Minnie Davis and Halsey. Kenneth followed then, the buses, they scolded' bitterly, having abandoned schedules. Halsey had ap- plied for a commission.' "You try to save tires," Patty wailed et supper, "and' then. you findout the •transportation com- pany's saving tires, too. I swear they've .taken off half the regular busses on the Green line," Andy said kindly, "Wait till you girls have to wall.. Or did they bind your feet when you were a baby?" "Do any of you know Dorothy Dresden?" asked Minnie Davis who hoped to steer Patty aWay from painful ,affairs. "Very speeial- Junior League, isn't she, Leila? - pretty and not precisely a pauper?" They knew of Dorothy Dresden. Patty who read every word in the society columns of .the newspapers. had a neat dossier of the post -deb- utante at her tongue's tip. security which' touched her unex- pectedly, without warning, but often est insolitude, brushed her now, soft as the caress of wings. She saw her pretty, gay kitchen, the crisp. curtains that were Zither's pride, the big white spaghetti kettle steaming On the stove. If she put, out her hand she could touch her vociferous guests, chattering away on either side of the flat pewter dish of fruit, flankedby the four pewter 'candlesticks she and Andy had found in one of the secotfd- 'hand, shops. The smoke, the smell of food; even the spatter of snow against the window and the sound of a log breaking in the living room fireplace, made definite impressions upon her mind. Yet she felt as definitely separated from it all for one swift moment which encompassed her in an exquisite peace. She looked toward `Andy at the other end of the table land meeting his steadfast eyes, smil- ed.' "-She's taken a job modeling," .Minnie Davis was saying. Of course with her connections she'll bring business• to the store, but the other models are furious. This Dresden piece conies to work in her own car and if there's a tire shortage I sup- pose she can use her mother's or her father's car," Patty Bailey agreed that there was a great deal of ill feeling throughout the store. "I sit in my drafty booth all day because I need the money, but why should a girl like that go to business? She ought to get' married. The people who can afford to' have children ought to populate the country. That would keep these idle women busy and leave a few jobs for the girls who need them." "Well, I say more power to Dotty Dresden," Leila Orton blew a smoke ring airily. "There's no law against a woman working, if she wants to work; we haven't yet legislated fe- males to the place where they have to be graded according to their cash instead of their ability. If the Dres- den doll can model, who's to stop her?" - Coles . Arnold pretended to fall forward into his salad plate. "I've lived too long," he moaned. "Let these old eyes 'close on a world in. which the Communist rallies to sup -1 port the cense , of' the capitalist's daughter." He didn't have to be a complete fool, Patty rebuked him acidly: "Leila's only being contrary. She's famous for taking the opposite side 1 in any controversy." i "That's what you think." Leila' clanked her bracelets lazily. "If • things," "I dug him a pit' and he walked right in;" Leila beamed. "My friend, I dont admire .the wealthy girl for 'her .brains, beauty or bank account. To be honest, I rather dislikeher on L. !the principles because she has the mink oat market cornered. taut I happen to be for fair play, first, 'last and all the time. For years the society girl has been doing the `other • thing' you'd permit her to do, with `what results? That every newspaper, magazine and platform 'speaker in this' fair land has gone to town on the topic of her wasted life. Honest 'toil alone would save her soul, these gen- tlemen and " ladies asserted, so the poor Dresden pieces gotreligion and landed 'themselves jobs. So what? So now they're being skinned alive for taking the bread, out of us poor girl's lipsticked apertures.. It must be darned confusing to be rich." "I'm still groggy," muttered Coles Arnold, elbow on table, supporting his head on his hand. "I may be failing, but I don't get you, Leila. Will you 'explain, gently and patient- ly and in simple words, just why you are championing the cause of themillionaire's unhappy child?". In a flash Leila's beautiful face altered, sobered 'to a gravity that was as enchanting as it was rare. She spoke swiftly, 'seriously, lean- ing forward a little, her black eyes holding Coles' mocking gaze. "Coles, in all my life, I've known only one girl who never worked. Only one had never been to business, never even talked of earning her own ing. Maybe she was a parasite -all right, but she had it all over the grubby,' grasping ants." Coles shook his head. The folk- lore, he argued, was a little mixed. "It was a grasshopper, not a para- site, Who had the run-in with the goshawfuI . industrious ants, Lelia A parasite, if you must have one, js the mistletoe. Think • on that, my girl, next. Christmas." "It seems to me," Halsey Ken- neth said, "that the issue is becoming obscured. I take it " that modeling' calls for a pretty face and -er-" "A nice figure, Halsey," Andy supplied helplessly, "Thank you a shapely form, let's put it. Now, it is conceivable that the Dresdens of this world may have what is required, along with a bank account, too, is tE not? While the poor but honest maiden. may have neither cash not the figure to set off the mink coat. In that case the wealthy. girl who models mink is well within her rights in taking the job, isn't she? Even if little or no education is need- ed to look beautiful and befurred?" Patty Bailey almost whirred, she was so' irritated. "That shows you don't know what you're talking aboutl" she scolded. "Maybe Dorothy Dresden has a wonderful figure -but so could any gill have who could afford to pay thirty-five dollars for girdles witlf French -loomed elastic!" There was a spontaneous ourst. of laughter and Candace pulled the resistor lu •from the wall. "Lots 0 er this assembly is interested in the truth, which I doubt, the fact is that I heard this topic knocked down and worried to shreds in a Forum ,meeting last week: The club ladies, bless their 1 intellects, considered the not -so -new question of whether the girl with - money should take a job which' a girl who needed the money could fill just as well." • Halsey Kenneth stretched his long p legs, kicked Andy's shins and niut- p B e Iof coffee" she announced cineerfully. "Oh, Leila, the lucky people are :the Invasion Balloons bProtectell Sa'erno Beaches girls like us -no one will ever re- joice that we're unobtrusively poor." The Government, Leila said, was very . nice. "Meaning?" Andy, holding Can - dace's hand as he sat on the floor be- side hen chair,surreptitiously kiss,. ed the wedding band on her finger. "They treat Kurt so well! Why, he appliedfor hig skiing. permit and he had it within two days. We've been stopped once or twice, either on, the way up or down, and Kurt I had to show his permit, Everyone I was awfully nice. to us -weren't they Kurt?" • The young German nodded. "In the last war -that is, I have heard men who were in the fast war tell how good• this country, was then to enemy aliens," - "How's it feel to be an enemy alien?" Andy grinned, '.but hestud- ied Kurt Hermann night after night,. `Crying to put himself in the -,Ger- man's ;place, wondering why Kurt should continue tq look so calm and Leila to be the nervous wreck.' Kurt 'shrugged, puffed at his' cigar- ette. "I worry about my mother," inc said simply. "And my feeling about my country -and this -k think R.A.F.vienimro balloon ''^mage men were planted them on the beach in the among the first Allied troop to lama face of heavy machine gun and mor- on the beaches at Salerno.

"But you have to have 'a plan -you' can't just live out- doors, skiing, in winter, canoeing in Summer. You see you don't want children-" "We can farm." LeiTa frowned, "You can't have' children' unless you have lots of money and we don't want a lot of money: • We want to have just enough for the two of us to live in the eonntr 11 Y Andy's "What's keeping you-" died on" his lips at an almost int pet'Ieptible gesture from Candace.

You take •Candace -Andy lifted her hand to his lips. She and Leila were off now on the subject of small houses, the kind of houses women cut from magazines and tuck away. Kurt would listen and smoke and. never say a word from one hour's end till another. It was ,tough on Leila, not being able to see' ahead but you. take Candaee- It's funny, too, Andy mused, but if anything happens to me I shan't (feel that I've messed up her life. If anyone had. told me two years ago that leaving your wife with a baby, and very little money wasn't the worst thing a man can do to the girl he loved, I'd have laughed at him. There's aro use trying to tell anyone, t wouldn't attempt ,to talk it over with Leila, because I can't be sure it would work out well for her and Kurt. You, can't be sure that any experience you have will work out for someone else. Andy stretched luxuriously, pulled himself upright. A feeling of elation tingled the length of his spine. It's gorgeous, it's 'glorious, he told him- self, looking down upon the beautiful shining head of his wife, to know that so far Dace and I have been right. We can take what comes, because we've had so much. He saw Leila's eyes turn to Kurt and the certainty that she would be grateful for so much less touched Andy's heart. Peck, 2nd vice Pres.
