"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

FOR A MILD, COOL, SMOKE
Candace, who was mixing the salad
dressing while Leila set the dinette
table for the Sunday night supper,
shivered as the wiittl blew a furry of
snow against .the kitchen window. 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

"Oh, Leila, the lucky people are :the

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

to Kurt and the certainty that she
would be grateful for so much less
