CHAPTER VI An alr of banality settled over the gathering. To McCale, watch- ful, 'sensitive as he was to any creeping tendril of emotion, it was Eke watching a barnyard at feed- ing time, where the animals scramble over one another to make sure no one gets more than his share. When Curt began to take his leave, he doled himself out, Stephen ' he treated N;ce a brother, Storm as an. affect:)nate friend. It was. the women who bit at his heels most avidly. :Miss Adelaide glow- ed, turned coy. Sybil shook her- self out of the sulks, simpered. Victoria looked at hint hotly, and Karen's eyes kindled with an icy fire. Veronica waited tolerantly, as if she could well afford to do so. Fie crossed to her finally in his negli- gently graceful stride: He'took her hands in his big ones and, leaning over, whispered in her car. She laid her bronze head against the massiveness of his chest for a mo- ment. Everyone must have heard her say, "... ,But it's all right now, darling. All right. I'm so glad - I was devastated." Victoria's eyes were half-closed, and Karen's only movement was the tapping of a carmine finger- nail on the arm of her chair. Curt kissed his fiancee. And ilten lfcCale knew. There was no acting in that kiss. In spite of the stories, in spite of the man's repu- tation, he was really in love with Veronica Bigelow. It was in his eyes. It was unmistakable. How could anyone in fhat room not know it? Then the party broke up. It Was after that that Victoria laughed de- risively, and in passing Christopher said slyly, "You big, big fool! To give them The Nest. , Don't tell me you wanted to." Christopher smiled in a depressed spanner, got up and took her arm, As they headed for the door, Mc - rale heard hint say, "Calm your- self, Vicky, niy girt. 'To the vic- tor belongs the spoils." "Rats," she answered. "You're a congenital idiot" Adelaide Bigelow carte over to McCale, who stood in the firelight, a dark figure, sorting his impres- sions. * t "You won't need me tonight?" he asked, as if it were finished. ' "No -I think not-" she fal- tered. "Will you telephone me in the morning?" "Of course." "I shall need you;" she said with emphasis. Site looked older and more haggard in the gloom. He nodded as she followed him to the door. "I think I -hound have one of my operators on duty here tonight" "Oh, Eno -it won't be at all nieces- eery." -.The wedding gifts." There was an oh -so -subtle tinge of sar- casm in his tone. She s ni S l e d uncomfortably, 'They'll be all right" "Good night." ""ood night," • As he walked crosstown, he felt strangely disembodied, like some- one costing from the .theater - a theatre where one had seen a queer- ly disturoing drama, • On impulse he entered the first drugstore that he 'saw. He dialed the Bigelow number, waiting im- patiently until he heard Miss Ade- liade's voice. "On second thought," he said, "I've' decided that it is necessary to have nay ,assistant in your house tonight. A Mr. Bjorkland. He will again:" He hung Sip before she could ac- quiesce or. demur. Then he called his aim number. Rocky answered; "Hello, Rocky. 1 want you to spend the night at the Bigelows." "Okay, boss. What's cooking?" "Something - yes - but nothing that 1 can get my teeth into: 1 know there's something wrong, though." "Do you want me to watch out for anything in particular?" "No -o -o, Just keep your eyes and ears open. I won't even give you niy reactions to the Bigelow clan. 1 want an unbiased- opinion from you in the morning. You're supposed to be guarding those pre- cious wedding gifts. hiss Bigelow will be expecting you at eight o'clock. 5 5 * Ask for her. You'd better run along now and get yourself some grub. Put Anne on the line, will you:" "The power behind the throne," quipped Rocky, "took her royal de- parture at the stroke of six," "Jost like that?" "Yeah, Site had a wicked gleam in her eye when she sealed the note she left for you. I'll lay odds that she's up to some deviltry." The desk light was on in the out- er office. In the spall, round pool of light it threw' lay a note from Ann illarriot reminding him that he was taking her to dinner. She had underlined the final word - dress. Ile knew what that forecast. It meant The White Abbey, the sea- son's socially renowned "saloon." He went over the events of the afternoon, trying to docket his im- pressions in' some way, to relate then to the dark omen he had car- ried away from there. He wished Rockey were with him now to tall: it over. He called a cab and roiic cross- town, deep in the groove of his mood. They drove up to a' row of old brownstone houses which look- ed deserted, their flat, unlighted fronts a deceptive sepia blank. One of them had an oyster -white door. McCale made for it. Before he had. climbed the three steps, it was op- ened silently by a young man with the fact of an interior decorator. After a wait of lessthan five minutes, Ann carte front behind a door marked "Powder Room," She was slender and smart in a green draped affair that ended in a lot of gray foam. They. climbed one of the stair- cases and were bowed into the din- ner roost by another interior deco- rator, They lingered over the exorbi- tantly priced dinner, McCale preoc- cupied, bored by the place. "All right," Ann said finally, "It's not so hot -but I had to see it.'' "What do you really think of it?" "It's fascinatingly - dull. How- ever, that's what it will be like when you starry ire. Your week will be all mapped out for you. I'll want to dress tip one night and go out to the place of the moment; a regular night for the movies; then , we'll have to take in all the good plays; maybe go dancing and-" "Which leaves-" "One night a week for _ Inc to aft by the fire at your feet while you discuss the intricacies of your lat- est case.

Jesus The King When the people heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem they gathered branches of palm trees and enthusiastically hailed Him as King of Israel. The "daughter of Sion" ]las ref- erence to -the people of Jerusalem; these had no reason to tear, be cause He who was come was their Ring who came riding on an ass, the symbol of peace, Jesus' Hour .Is Come At the time the disciples, not- withstanding all that Jesus had said to them, were puzzled by this great demonstration, but after Jesus was "glorified" and the Holy Spirit had conte upon them, "then remembered they that these things were written of Hirai" Jesus addressed the Greeks and tha two disciples saying, "The hour is come." The Son of Ilan was about to be "glorified", sig- tnilyiiig, His death upon the cross. God's Gift of Life. Life is not only God's gift, but one of His choicest gifts to es. We are not to think more of our- selves and our personal interests than the well-being 'of others. As Christians we are to put Christ anti our service to His first. Lov- ing life we lose it; giving life we find it, if we truly lore the r.ord Jesus, the w11 want to serve il'int, If we truly want to serve Hini, we- will delight to follow Him at whatever cost, and God the Father will honor such. Jesus knew and fully recognized Atom . Bombing Of Japan Cut War By A Year The atone bombing of 1liroshinta and Nagasaki in August, 4018, was this nation's "least abhorrent choice" of a way to end a war that otherwise would have lasted until late 1046, says former seeretary of tear Henry 1.. Stimson, American forces not only would have suffered ani additional 9.000,- 000 casualties but the lapanese would have suffered greater loss of life and property than they did. Stimson says in an article of Tharp er's magazine current issue. Stimson says the two bombs used were the only ones the nation then possessed, and the rate of production was "very small", "Had the war continued until the projected invasion (of Japan) on November 1 (1648), additional fire - raids of 13-20s would have been more destructive of life and pro- perty than the very limited` num- ber of atomic raids which we could have executed in the 'same period;" Stimson' wrote., "But the atomic bomb was more than a weapon yl terrible destruction.;; it was a pay chotogical weapon. • "The decision to use the atomic: boni'b was a decision that brought death to over 100,0tu Japanese, No explanation can change: that fact and 1 do not wish to gloss cher. But this deliberate, premeditated destruction was our least ahho1 rent choice . ..The bombs droit ped our Riroshinut and Nagase.i: ended a war_" - the full measure of agony He must suffer, yet He also realized that it. was "for this cause", that is, the purchase of redemption by His death that He had come to this hour in which He would be ;glori- fied. The Message of The Cross Jesus does not ask that He be glorified, but that His Father's Name shalt be glorified, and at once "came there a voice from Heaven, saying, I have both glori- fied it, and will glorify it again, and Jesus states, not for the sake of Himself but that of those who stood by, that they might hear the Father speak. By Christ's death and resurrec- tion He was to deal the death blow to Satan. "Now shall the prince of this world be cast out." By being lifted up from the earth (on the Cross) Jesus was to "draw all men unto Him." The 60 ,40 the poor, the learned and the Unlearned, the old and the young, of every "tribe and nation" are reached by the message of the Cross. in the day of judgment all sten will be drawn to the One who died to redeem therm. Rosie Rivets Again In British Factories The postwar' drift of women from British industry has been ar- rested. It has even been reversed. Melly of the tvonten who returned to their homes at tete end of the war ate trekking back to factory benches, according to the Chris- ti,'.n Science Monitor. About 17,000 more women filed through Indus- trial turnstiles . in November, Young married women who left factories when their husbands were demobilized are returning to peace- time production. Single women who worked hard, long hours dur- ing scar have returned to paid jobs after a few weeks or months of leisure. Older married women who at the end of the war declared they would have noticing more to do with "outside lobs" are missing the extra money and responding to the appeals from textile and fac- tories urgently 'needing their ser- vices.

Paris Designers Drop Skirt Hems Spring fashion displays in Paris showed that designers have decided to drop skirt hem lines far below what was considered fashionable in 1946. Although each designer has dis- played his or her particular trend, hem lines have been lowered be- tween two and five inches. The popular theme is somewhat reminiscent of the old time hobble skirt, dipping at the back and slightly rounded or gathered into an inverted V in front, and em- phasized with ripple drapes. Edward Monyneaux, the. London fashion expert, held a selective dis- play. In spite of a varied silhouette, the Molyneux collection adhered basic- ally to the eharactcristics lfoly- neux simplicity and quiet elegance of conservative design. Navy and blade were the pre- dominant colors in the Molyneux collection, while the appealing freshness of a froth of white or a little "Johnnie collar" of spotless pique with matching touches on the sleeves was stressed effective- ly. Nipped -in waistlines were accen- tuated by peplums and flares. Jackets were longer and belticss, and massy featured silver and gilt coin boutons about the size of a halfpeinty, Sr,* -555 Cuddle The Baby; It's` Good For Him Take it from Dr, Milton J. & Senn it's perfectly all right 1s Cuddle and coo at baby, and even to feed him on his schedule rather than , yours. Dr. Senn, associate professor of pediatrics at the Cornell Medical School, told a meeting of Mary- land nurses organizations that in- dulging - Junior's whimsat, times may even prev'enf dire conse- quences. The newborn infant,, he said, can, suffer psychological injuries with physical manifestations if his "in- dividual rhythm is disturbed: by a rigid regime. Said he: "Our American culture has become so fearful of 'spoiling' a baby that infants suffer frustra- tion of their emotional needs, and consequently respond with exces- sive crying, thumb -sucking, indif- ference to food, vomiting, and other physical manifestations." If the baby is fed when hungry rather than at specified meal hours he will work out . schedule for himself, Dr. Senn declared. "There is an emotional need for occasion- al cuddling and rocking to allay the sense of fear, insecurity, ano even - later - of guilt," he added.
