"No-er of course not," stammered Jim, wishing she would restrain her affectionate . gesture to a private audi- tion. In the end Jim telephoned the of- fice and in a not very happy voice informed Judge Hetchcote that he would not be back that afternoon. Helen had been tickling the back of Jim's neck with tinry moist kisses while he was telephoning, When 'he hung up the receiver she pulled him down upon a love seat by the window and cuddled into his arms.

"Here comes Cathy!" cried Janet excitedly. "Doesn't she look lovely?" Jim twisted about in his chair. Cathy was doing her solo specialty. It was a military routine. She had on brief blue satin trunks, and a fell. white silk 'blouse with long graceful sleeves gathered in at her slender wnldsts. She was wearing a (tiny .gild- ed trench hat pauntily perched on the side of her shingled blonde head, and Sinai!' gilded leather boots that wirin';led down around( her ankles. "Isn't it queer how" common stage women always are?" Helen drawled, "So trashry, 'don't you know?" "You can call Cathy trash," said Ji'm. "Not in my . presence," "Cathy)?" echoedi his fiancee. "My word, do you know 'her?" "1•,1'1 say -I do," said Jim, "and, she's wond•erfu•1." * * * Mr. Clive Sanders elected to enter- tain his party for ,dinner ,: that night in the main dining room of the hotel There were elaborate hothouse flow - ens for a 'centerpiece and every var- iety of costly deli acy. - Jim could not bear to look at tkn cheque, but every one saw the ten -dollar tip which the m'ultimilIionailne )elft- beside his plate. There was only one awkward mo- ment, 'precipitated' by Helen "It's so 'funny to think of my mother -in law clerking in a store," she observed. Anne saw Jim stiffen as if he had been shot in . the back. "I mean,"" Helen explained, "once knows, sales- women must have private lives like everyone else, only one never realiz- e& it, does one?" It was Tony Ryan who leaned a little forward and I'azily , put a period to Helen's. remark. "One wonders," he drawled, imitating perfectly the cool and condescending tones of her honeyed voice, "how one ever man- ages to breathe the cdmmon air when one's so la-di-da" Helen knitted then brows and star- ed at him. "Are you by any chance taking a crack at me, Mr. Ex -Prize- fighter?" "What do you think?" murmured Tony. ,, Mr. Sanders, aware of the signs of a tempest beginning to form about his d'aughter's exquisite brow, inter - posted with baste. "What shall we do• with the rest of the evening?" he asked awkwardly. . "I want to go somewhere an d dance," said Helen, in .a fretful man - Miss • Sanders elevated one exqui- site white :shoulder, ' oracle another caustic inspectlon of Cathy and then murmured in her most insulting man- ner, "I'll wager you know nothing good of her." Jim's eyes nanrowed, but his tone was pleasant, almost. donversational. "You couldn't .earn a descent dime if your life depended ion it," he observ- ed. "Cathy supports' herself and a baby. She and my .mother work for their diving, but you'll never live to be as much a lady as either of them." "This ' is too -macho' remarked Miss Helen Sanders, rising to her feet. "Sic dem, Jim," said Tony Ryan softly. Jini••had. also risen. "If you mean you're breaking our engagement," he said, "it's' all right, with me. In fact, it's fine." "Father," said Miss Helen Sanders, "will you take me away from these odious perople? At once! I want to shake the dust of this , hateful town off my feet. Tonight!" "Yes, Helen," ,murmured Mr. Clive Sanders' wearily. It was after midnight when Cathy, ;rime slowly out of the employees' entrance to The Golden, Pheasant.

And we may legitimately ask, when all this complication, when the same result conular be attained in a much-eimspler way, by a 'higher s'chedu1e of rates in the first place? In the field of corporation; the ex- cess profits tax; which was Introduc- ed last autumn., can no longer be cal- culated on thee basis* of earnings on the capital investments " itt future it must be a, real "excess" profits tax, based on the earnings over and above 'the' average' for 'the previous four years, and • the rate of tax is ineea- ed from 50 per cent to 75 per cent. This seems to be unnecessarily hard on the concern which did not make money in the years say 1936 to 1939 inclusive, and" easy, on the one which did make money then, and does not need to make any more during the war. In this rather unstable country we have scores of concerns which en- joy a feast or a famine, and which have had so much famine in recent. years that they must make a lot to break even in the long run. For instance, .rei!lionss, of dollars -have been slunk in . airplane develop meat, with . no worth -while business before the. war. Possibly these com- panies, can survive on 25 per cent, but in order that they may do so, the gross will have to be big. Knit- ting mills( also had a rather lean time. Then there are -the shipbuilding, plants, which stood practically idle bee tween one war"'and another, The logic behind an excess profits tax has- not been made sufficiently, clear. Yet there is some consolation in the fact that it has not been made 100 per cent asis the case in Great Britain. And it is understood •that there will be special clauses to provide for these canes. ' Though the general tax on corpor- aeon profits is not raised above 18 per cent, it is provided that the Com- bined income and excess profits tax shall not be less than 30 per cent. That will have a very important ef- fect in raising the minimum levy, and amounts to a heavy increase in the case of a concern which does not make extra profits during the wan For unincorporated concerns t h e minimum tax is to be 12 per cent. From these taxes it is a relief to turn to those on commodities which, while personal in their ultimate inci- dence, are not severe enough to -hurt anyone. .There is no increase in the sales tax, nothing further on sugar, coffee ar tea, and no federal tax on gasoline, 'all of which evinces a de- sire top roteet the cost of ,living, though it 'probably was, consideration for -the tourist business, and not for the resident, that saved us from a gasoline levy. • s ere, is the special widest 1D O P de t t sP tax of 10 per cent on all imports ex- cept those under the British prefer- ence. As most of such, taxable im- ports are from theUnited States. tris is in the nature of a measure to ev- en u,te our trade balance with that country, 'and save. us same U.S. ex- change. Incidentally; coal and. gaso- line are two of the 'major commodi= unnecessary." "She prefers to become a wisecracking Tittle gold-digger," Anne said. Mr. Sanders appeared in the door- way, "Bring your . mother and roister to ''dinner tonight, Phillips," he said genially. "And any one else you like. Dinner at eight, you know." Jim's mother and Janet were at home when he came an, sitting rather forlornly, it seemed to Jim, in the kitchen, "Aren't you early, darling?" faltered Anne. Her eyes looked red. Jim felt con- scious -stricken. "We're all invited to dinner with Mr. Sanders.- At eight," he added, "and I'me starved, darn it" "We're going to be married, right away," .he explained stiffly, ."I'mr to be vice-president of something. You know, with a handsome salary and no work to do. It's going to be ge'o- torgeous.." He evade a grimace. Anne wase very white. "But, Jim, your job with Judge Hetcp•cote!" "She can't live in this poky town." There was a painful silence. "1 Janto 'Idinner ina party," said Janet shortly. "I've ate with Tony Ryan." "'S all right about Tony," said Jim (gruffly. "I was told to bring along any one I liked,.'' "Hers all in the . family anya't•y," remarked) Janet with a flippant smile. "I mean we're engaged." t,.- QlII,.
