Stella said for the third. tune: • ""Ii
'Wish you'd tell me where. you're go-
ing this _evening."
Jane leaned forward for, a 'better

on Stella' -s dressing table. She pulled

"Please tell me, Jane."
Jane laughed gently. "Darling,
can't a girl enjoy 'her last night of
freedom without being asked a hun-
dl•ed questions?"
- Stella ran a comb through iter hair.
She said unhappily, "I wish I didn't
have to go to :this wretched first
`
night. I'm feeling perfectly miser:
able about you." -
Jane sighed. . "You needn't be. I
assure you I'm going to have the time
of, my life."
After all', Jane .reflected honestly, it
was entirely her, own fault that she
was going to spend�•.the. evening
alone. There were a dozen !people
she' could' have seen if she had only
chosen to make arrangements to meet
one or otheft of - them. She knew that
it was .since her break with Tony
that she'd found she preferred her
own company, unless perhaps she
could be with Stella. There hid been

--it was true -that brief •hectic af-
fair . with Clive Forbes, but the less
she thought abut that the better.
Jane was a fashion' artist, and Stel-
la a 'free lance journalist. They had
shared an apartment • together for
some three years. Neither was -mak-
ing much money in those days. Jane
was at the bottom. of her particular
ladder and "Stella, trying valiantly to
get a foothold on heirs. Little by lit-
tle Jane had learned what life had

riage' and even though he was fairly

Though Stella, in her worldly con-
tacts was hard and ` caustic, she had
a gentle understanding side that -no
on else ever -•saw. It was Stella who'
saw Jane through that ghastly time
when her' engagement to Tony Rees
was broken. It was Stella who, a
year later, brought .Jane up with a
jolt when Clive Forbes who -had bean

in it, on the top floor: of a' dilapitat-
ad House in Bloomsbury. They'd
bought twenty pounds' worth' of tarn-
iture on. the installmenii plan and
their curtains had cost a shilling" a
yard and had been made. at, home,
New they were in a modern cpart-
ment hotel a stone's, throw from Pic-
cadilly. Their cobined incomes
made this possible.
Jane 'had. felt a little worried about
the financial ' end of things when she
-had come back from Victor# House
with the knowledge that she was to
report for duty so quickly. Stella
had told her instantly that she `was,
doing very well despite the war. • Ard
if things went, against her
she'd just have to find a tenant for
the apartment. Whatever happened
Jane wasn't to worry 'on -that score.
What did worry Stella, was how Jane
was going to manage On one and four -
pence a day.
This was worrying Jane too. Still
there was nothing she could do about
it. What really mattered was that
deep down in her heart, once she em-
barked on this new life tomorrow,
would be 'the warm glowing feeling
that she would -be helping in ,her own
small way in this gigantic struggle
that her country was undertaking.
' So intent was she on her o-wn
thoughts that she blindly turned a
corner not noticing where 'she Was
going. An Air - Force officer, hurry-
ing along, head bent, collided violent-
ly with her. So sharp was the im-
pact that the little blue 'hat' went fiy;
ing and had he not put out .a swift
arm to ••catch her Jane would have
gone flying into •tihe gutter after it.
As- it was she regained her balance,
feeling bruised and, shaken and very
much as if a tank had. come hurtling
at her.
She reached' for her hat, but he
picked it up„ before her. "I say, I'm
most terribly Sorry," 'be said earnest-
ly. "Did I hurt you?"
"'That's all right. It was my fault
really. •I wasn't looking where I was
going."
"That's very generous of you. But
I was barging along much too fast
. ."He smiled suddenly: 'To 'be
honest, I was in •tii`e' devil of a tem-
per. I was trying to walk it of."
She• smiled too. "Did you manage
it?"
"I'm not sure. I say, are you quite
sure you're not hart?"
"Quite."
"Well, at least you must feel a lit-
tle bit shaken. You must let me get
a taxi and ' drop "you . wherever -it is
you're going."
Jane looked at him. She remem-
bered that this was her last night of
freedom and that Stella had often
said she was afar too shy and retir-
ing. She smiled. "That's very kind
of you but, you see, 1 just don't -hap-
pen to be going anywhere " •
He laughed. "In that case -look,
shall I tell' you? You were just ou•
-your• way to meet me. And I .wa•t
hurrying to meet you and w.e were
going to' dine at Kettner's. I've al-
ready booked a table." He stopped a
passing taxi as he spoke and held op-
en the door for her. ''Hop in! We're
going on to 'Black •Velvet' after."
Ten minutes later she, was seated
opposite him and the waiter was tak-
ing their order. A table. had certain-
ly been booked for him. • The maitre
d'hotel clearly knew him. He had
bowed them through the restaurant,
removed the little card with "Reserv-
ed" on it as they sat down and asked
what he could get for them.
"Two champagne cocktails, please,
and tnake them snappy. Or would
yoti rather have something else?"
- Jane took off her gloves, laid them
beside her handbag on ,the table and
said a champagne cocktail would be
lovely. She hoped that he wouldn't
think that he was in the habit of din-
ing with strangers. He hadn't con-
sulted her with regard . to what she
would eat or drinkbeyond one or two
crisp Inquiries, but the dinner he'd
chosen seemed- somehow to comprise
all her favorite dishes.
She heard herself 'saying out of a
blue sky, "Why did She let yoni
down'?"
HIS eyes darkened, "Some other
fellow, I imagine. :Elie said she had
a cold" - .
•
• "I see, One man's • mea,t ."
She smiled and remembered that
Tony had always told, her that her
smile could charm any; man. !'I'm
enjoying my poison."
He. said swiftly, "I am: too. Gosh,
I'm glad I ran into you, though it
was 'a bit unfortunate' for you!"
She -laughed softly. "I could ,find
-it in my heart to wish we'd met some
other way. We could have been in-
troduced for instance . . "
He shook his head. "That would
have spoiled it all.- But we can in-
troduce ourselves now ..."
She made a quick dissenting ges-
ture. "No, -let's just dine together,
go to a. theater together and then
I'll say,,, `Good night - and thank yo'y
very much' and that will be all there
is to it."
She glanced up to find his eyes fix-
ed on • her intently. They were the
bluest eyes she had ever seen: "Why
do you say that?"
She gave a little shrug of her ale
der shoulders. "Does that matter?"
"Yes. If we're not going to meet
again, we may as well' be frank with
each other: We'll have to get en-
ough for a lifetime into a very little
while." He paused: Then he said
gently, "Please tell rte. • I -don't be-
lieve it's just a w'hlrn,"
She hesitated. She made little pat-
terns .on the tablecloth with her
fork. She .said slowly, "There's a
Little saying, a burnt child . . ,
"You're very honest."
"I was very badly burnt."
"So was I, once. This evening. The
girl who let me down . ." . that was
nothing." He laughed. "It merely
put me in a bad temper, but if I were
to see very much of you ..." -
She shook her head. "You're not
going to."
"Please."
Ahd more insistently, "No,
no, no!" 'She gave a low laugh. ,"And
that being settled, let's talk about
ordinary sensible things. Tell me, do
you like flying? Will it be a long
war? What's your rank? Not your
name -your rank."
He leaned' nearer to her. "I love
flying: God knows if it'll be a long
war. I'm a flight lieutenant. And
where 'shall we lunch tomorrow?"
The waiter removed their plates at
that moment. She said when they
were alone again, ignoring his last
question: "I see. I was wondering
what those two stripes • indicated.
What sort of aircraft do you fly?"
Spitfire as a rule. I'm station-
ed, up in the north. Now I'm down in
town fer a few days' leave."
''Tell me more. I know so little."
He told her a lot more. He'd
flown, it seemed, since he was twen-
ty. He'd joined, the Air. For on a
short service commission and after-
ward had been on the reserve. He'd
flown in Spain An. the civil war and
in China. If there was a scrap going
on, he liked to be in it. "4
'•"This scrap," Jane said grimly,
"seems likely to be a sticky one."
"I know. But we'll get through all
right."
"I hope you will," she said, and
knew that from the very bottom of
her heart she meant it. "Have you
ever crashed?"
He laughed. "Lord, yes. , Three
times. i smashed up a Spitfire only
the other day. But I have a charm-
ed life. By rights I should have been
dead long •' ago." His eyes met hers.
"Now 1 know why my guardian angel
was looking after me." -
The color crept into her cheeks.
Her hands trembled.
"You don't believe in fate?" he ask-
ed.
"Er -yes -I don't really know. I'm
not sure I've thought a lot about it."

and this %noug t fly is netprious for
the part it plays in spreading infan-
tile diarrhpea, typhoid, tuherculosis,
cholera, dysentery and. other •diseas-
es. It is strongly suspected of being
a carrier of the virus causing infant
tile paralysis, and already the case
has been almost proved by the, find-
ing of die virus., in• a mixed collection
of files taken in districts where in-
fantile paralysis had occurred.
The commontouse fly is one of the
most serious corrupters of food. In
the hone, control of flies is compare,
tively easy. They can be, destroyed,
and effective covering of the tempor-
ary garbage will prevent, the files
from finding a breeding place.
The most effective method of con-
trol consists in eliminating or reduc-
ing their breeding places outside by
the proper treatment and disposal of
such materials as manure and 'garb" -
age. ••One neglected manure heap or
garbage dump is often sufficient to
n .infect the whole neighborhood, and
th-arefore in' the control of flies it is
necessary *to enlist the active co-op-
eration of the whole community. Prac-
tical information on this subject will
be found in Bulletin No. 637, "Con-
trol of Some! Common Species of

Canning Hints
Wlien ' canning fruits , with sugar
this year it is important to use, for
-each fruit, the syrup that will give
a palatable , product with the mini-
mum :amount •of sugar.
In order that no syrup be wasted
the amount of syrup required should"
be carefully calculated. Small fruits,
berries and cherries will require one-
half, to three-quarters cup of syrup
per pint sealer and large fruits such
as pears and peaches will take froth
three-quarters to one cup for each
pint sealer.
Here are the syrups that we have
found to give the most satisfactory
and economical results in our experi-
mental work:
