Pleasantly aware,, f o r Christine liked the appearance of the young man so much that she did not even mind his wearing glasses. She liked his broad shoul- ders, his bronzed skin, and the sunburned look of his hair, as if he never wore a hat. Christine who habitually went bareheaded, cherish- ed a . native belief that all people who disliked hats were inherently honest and safe to know, * * But even if the bareheaded young man were Sir Galahad in person, she could .ot be explaining strange young men to Cousin Emma at the depot. Cousin Emma did not be- long to a school that welcomes chance acquaintances.

A year ago, Christine would in- dignantly have repudiated the idea of borrowing money. That was because, until the advertising firm for which she had been working during intervals of her life classes had folded up, she had never realiz- ed just how hard jobs were to find. At any rate, the young man did not offer to take her bags. • When Christine looked about the depot platform for Cousin Emma's plain, severely tailored figure, it was nowhere in sight. "She's probably sent Jaspar to meet nee," Christine thought. * * * But Jaspar, Cousin Emnha's but- ler—the punctilious kind of butler Cousin Emma would have—was nowhere in sight. No one on the platform seemed to be expecting her. Everyone seemed to be hur- rying off, except, perhaps, one pian who lingered by the newspaper stand, his face buried in a paper, and— .& voice said at Christine's side, "I suppose someone will be here to meet you?" Christine turned to find the bare- headed young man standing beside her. He was older than she had supposed -30 or 32, perhaps—and his voice was pleasant. "Oh, yes!" Christine • said, with just the right smile to suggest amused surprise that he should imagine anything else. Yet even as she spoke, she knew her first qualm of uneasiness..... Suppose the message she had sent telling Cousin Enema when she was coming had not been delivered? But the invitation_ had. aounded..n.� -- Cousilh .Emnla's invitations always did, like a royal summons; and Cousin Emnia was not used to hav- ing her commands disregarded. Telegram or not, Cousin Emma would expect her. The young man continued to stand then:. "I only thought"—he went on— "it is late—hadn't I better wait till your friends come:" "Why—" Christine found herself disarmed by the straight -forward way he spoke, as if they had known each other for years, "thank you; but someone will be here any minute now." * * ,k SNOW WHITE CLOSET Slum veatte Oioset, chrome plated trimmings, non -break- able seat, brass and rubber floor flange, chinas $2995 tank and bowl.... pleasant shore Beachmont, a the Boardwalk should suggest last year at art be much less Then she saw an unobtrusive - looking, spectacled person in a neat gray suit come from an entrance and move toward her. It wasn't Jaspar; but possibly Cousin Entine had a new butler. As the. man cathe up to her, Christine asked on a swift impulse, "I wonder if you're looking for somebody?. I thought perhaps Mrs. Talbert sent you to meet me. I'm her cousin, Miss—" The man halted. "If there is anything I can do—" he began; but the bareheaded young man cut in: "Are you, or are you not, here to • meet' this young lady?' "As it happens, no." The man's smile was faintly amused. "I am taking a train." * * * He strolled off, his glance barely grazing Christine; but she had a feeling that his apparently incur- ious eyes had riot missed a detail. As he crossed the platform and boarded a train which seemed about to pull out, Christine, who was us- ed to conducting her own affairs turned hotly upon the young roan, "Sorry," he said. "But do you usually run around telling your af- fairs to strangers? Surf City isn't the safest place for that sort of thing. In case you don't know, this town is a resort for shady y.haracters of every variety—race- track touts, prize -ring followers, confidence men ---not to speak of honest -to -goodness mugs from the underworld..... And now you're wondering how you can be sure I'm not planning to grlb your purse, myself. You can't. But sir really el.o need someone to look after yofi."

Christine had to call long distance. "Beachmont 1246," she directed, "I' want to speak to Mrs. Entree 'Talbert." Sh waited—interminably, it seemed to her. At length the op- erator spoke: "Please excuse the delay. I'm new at this exchange. but here's the other girl. talk to you." A second voice asked, "Who is. calling Mrs. Talbert, please?" "This is Mrs, Talbert's cousin —Miss Thorenson," Christine and swered, surprised by the question, "Ohl.... Well, the other oper- ator didn't know, Miss Thorenson, but Mrs.•Talber"s service has been discontinued." "Discontinued?" Christine gasp- ed. "When?" "But—there must be some mis- take. I.was to visit her." "There's no mistake. Mrs, Tal- bert has closed her house. We ' had notice two days ago." "Do you know where she is?" "I ani sorry. I cannot tell you that." Christine, who realized that in talking this much the girl had ex- ceeded her authority, said, "Thank you," and was about to hang up when the operator called, "Wait a minute! , , .. I was to tell you," she went on hastily in a lowered tone, "if you called the hoes: while I Wes on duty, that in case—someone doesn't get in touch with you at once—" "Someone?" Christine interrupt- ed blankly. "Who' Are you quite sure—" "Please don't talk—" the girl's voice was wasssteense.aeel 1113 !.`:ro,trt... 1lslCain'".:'. t 'anyone' is listening, this may ..cost me my job."

New Zealanders drove back the Germans in the battered Italian town in bitter hand-to-hand „fight- ing. But they have been fighting a long tine in the Mediterrean campaign. They and the Indians flanked the Mareth Line under Montgomery when Rommel stopped to make a stand in his flight from Libya. They fought all the way from El Alamein to Cape Bon. It is probable that almost all the original members of this New.
