Will you be sorry' We won't be, anyway. But still we do hope that, whichever part} leads the government, the public and the opposing parties ivitl we it credit for honest con- victions. No party is altogether bad t.^y more than any ane party is a t:;ether good and in a democ- ratic .. entry the majority rules, so, if we should be on the losing side the least we can do is to hold our fire ic: awhile and at least give the ether fellow a chance to show what 1'e can do. s * * \Cc have really got our garden planted at last—on June S to be exact—and if moisture is a good omen then we should have a won- derful garden. At any rate there should be plenty of peas—we sowed three pounds of seed. You see I hope to put some away in cold storage—in a new frigid locker plant that has been opened up in our nearby town. Quite uptodate are we not? 5 5 5 Really, these modern locker 4726 SIZES 12.20 30-43 Double front gives double service! Pattern 4726 wraps to left or right, adjustable to your waistline.

Print plainly size, name; address, style number, plants are a marvellous inventio So far we have stored only beef and pork but I hope to experime tt with fruits and vegetables later o h: There is only one thing I dot's like about the plant. It is so cold! And I hate being shut up in the locker room. I have tried leaving the door ajar. But that doesn't work because someone always shuts the door behind rue — warm air makes the pipes get frosted. And I don't like handling the frozen packages in sty hunt for what I want. The other day T was looking for T-bone steak, I knew there was some there but after turning the parcels over and over my hands got so numb I finally picked up a parcel at random and carne out. It was hamburg, so out visitors had meat loaf for dinner next day instead of a choice piece of T-bone steak. * * * It is funny too, the things that can happen at a frigid locker plant. The locker room is constructed with a heavy door at either cud with a light switch outside. Pat- rons are supposed to switch off the light on their way out. The other day two women were busy getting meat from their separate boxes. The first woman out, for- getting the other was left in, switched off the light. Imagine it —shut in a huge room alt some thing below freezing and in the dark! My friend did the only pos- sibe thing—felt her way carefully but hesitatingly along the cold, flat locker surfaces until she caste to one of the heavy doors and thus out to safety, light and warmth. Maybe it doesn't sound very serious but I wouldn't want the experience. "Don't fence me in" is my theme song any time I visit our locker plant. Britain Orders 5,000 Homes From Sweden The 6,000 permanent prefabrica- ted wooden houses being ordered in Sweden by Britain will be de- livered between Sept. 1 to the end of December of this year. Anders Tengbont, the Swedish architect, -thinks that British housewives wilt be pleased with the four different types of houses designed jointly by British Minis- try of Works experts and himself.

Old Mimi Fabre sang softly as she went upstairs to her room, "So like a play," she noised, "so like many in which I have taken part" Ah, .if madame could have sat beside Me ihisto Fact as be rode in his rich limousine down the mountain — and read ,what went ,on in his dark mind, she would have realized that she had never played in any piece so starkly, ter- ribly real as this; if she could have been transported to far-off Eng- land and .there stationed on a blitzed quay to watch the 'embark- ation of a group of prisoners,for- mer members of the Luftwaffe, to see one tall 100th among them — ab, then she would have known that here was no gay light comedy, no Chocolate Soldier or pretty pastime eut fioni cardboard! But site could see none of these things. She went to her roots and sat in her big chair and dreamed happily over a cigarette until site heard the light voices, the muffled laughter of the little ones in the hall._ * * * They can: into madame's sitting room quietly, the .young Goujons seeming all eyes. - "Alt, we shall have a gay party, my little ones! Never before have I entertained such lovely and ap- preciative guests, and I have never before been so !honored, Did you have a good game on the lawn?" "We taught Emil and Magda how to play Bonhomme Frlcot," said Pol Martin. "He did not want to play being the soldier who cause down out of the sky in his parachute and starched up to Bonhomme Irricot's door and killed hint," "It was not good," said Emil. "But since this was only make- believe I did not mind after a while. But I would not like to shoot an old man." "Eli, well," said madame, "we shall soon find more cheerful games for you to play. We shall - have a great many other children here as your companions, and we'll find amusements that will help you, when you grow up, to be strong nen and {good women." Gesner, the new butler, aided by Corinne, carne into the room push- inga tea wagon whose little wheels, were surely built of the best oak, such a mighty load of good things did they have to bear — ice cream of, red, green and orange colors, brighter than any rainbow; eclairs and pates and tall glasses of le- monade and fruit salads that looked like a picture and bonbons and meringues glaces and a dozen other trifles of which the old lady was as fond as any child could be. "Ohl" said the little Goujons, their eyes growing even wider, their hands moving involuntarily, and Pol Martin's eyes sparkled. Only Rosine, who had stood up to let Gesner move her cushion, made no sound, gave no sign of rapture. She stood close to ntadatne's tall dresser and she was staring up at the picture partly pushed aside and almost hidden by uiadante's black lace reticule — -a photograph of a laughing fellow, framed in. chrome, And Rosine's eyes held shock and v otiderment and terror and her lips opened as if she would cry out. - * * * "You are i o1 i11, child?" Madame had noticed how much slower than the others Rosine was emptying Ler plate. "Ah, perhaps you do not like my party?" "Oh, but I do, Madame Laurin, I do indeed, I love this party, it is only that I do not — that I was thinking— "Now, child, you must not think when all this good food is before you. Eatup now. Afterwards you. can thin!: all you want to. There is nothing bothering you?" "No — no, madame. It is noth- ing — -nothing at all Roger and Meridel came then and Rosine ran to her cousin and clung to her and hid her face against the pink jersey. Alt, you have eaten too much, Rosine. You have the stomach- ache. It is no wonder." "No, no, Meridel. I have not eaten too much. I am not ill. I could not eat. There is—" she stopped and looked about her. Meridel's hand smoothed her hair. "I ant _ sure it is nothing. Comet You will sit with Roger and me and see that we do not eat too much. lfadame Laurin, you will spoil them with - so many good things." Madame, her mouth full of eclair, looked sharply at Rosine. "You look as if you had seen a ghost here. Have some ice creast now — sene green ice cream. I'ni sure that is the kind you like." "If you please, madame. I. am sorry, madame. I do like your party. It is all so lovely." "I shall always remember it," said Poi Martin sturdily, and the little Goujons nodded their heads, which was about all they wereable to do, having stowed away a truly marvelous amount of food. Madame, Meridel and Rudolph sat for a while out the porch. Poi Martin and. Rosine slipped up the stairs, hand in hand, to the ruing 'of the house where madame had her rooms. The door was ajar. "I do not like to go in, Rosine. Suppose Madame Laurin or Uncle Rudi or Meridel were to find us— what would they think? And what should we say to them?" "I do not know. But you must come; Poi Martin. You must see it. Maybe I ani wrong. But you must sde this picture." "But of whom Is it a picture? Someone, you say, whom I akin supposed to know. But who could that be? I know so few in this country." "You must see it. On the dress- er, in a bright frame. You will know—" - `Come then! Quickly! But I wish I did ;tot have to know."
