CHAPTER VII!
Jane, a fashion 'artist, shares
an apartment in London with
Stella, a free lance journalist,
Jane joins the WAAF. The night
;before entering service she walks
through dim streets and collides
with a flight dleutenant of the
R.A.F. Stopping to break her en-
gagement with Stella she discov-
ers that the lieui:enant, Timothy
Teel' Sanders -nicknamed 'Tips"
-is Stella's divorced husband.
' Jane ,hears that Tips' squardron
flies at LO o'clock and that they,
are searching for him. She'ped-
als to the hogne of 'Mrs. 'Stanton,
where • she finds the flier. He
leaves at once. Mrs. Stanton ac-
cuses Jane of ,sending Tips to his
death. Tip misses the Sight
from which Flight Lieutenant
Stanton and Jimmie Stafford fait,.
to return. Stafford's sweetheart
accuses Jane of warning Tips so '
he would miss the' flight.
"That's all "right. I didn't mind
for myself. But when It canie to
Tips , .
' Hunter's. eyes hardened. Her voice
.too. ,`.'Iris•, of course, never gave him
Guy's ,.message! •She lied .to , Guy
When she told him Tips wasn't there."
• Two other girls burst into th.e kit-
then at that moment, clamoring to
know if there was any .tea going.
Jane poured more hot water in the
teapot and said she thought two cups
might. be managed, •
The next day .from eight in the
nkrorning until eight • in the evening all
the girls in Jane's watch were off
duty. At first Sparks had said she
would go to London with Jane. But
at the last moment she changed her -
mind and said she'd prefer to stay
in bed. Jane said that of course she
didn't •mind. She hadn't seen, Stella
for some time. I•t would be 'good to
meet her and see how she was far-
ing,' •
She setoff to 'walk to the railway
station; some two miles away. She
trudged on, thinking what a heaven-
ly day it was; thinking that it was
So warm it might' be April or May
instead of early March. 'Turning sud-
denly, she saw 'a; car slowing up be-
side her and Tips at the driving
wheel. "Going to catch a train?" he
asked. "May I`'give you a lift?"
She hesitated. Then she decided it
was absurd to cut off her nose to
spite her. face. "Thank you."
Tips said conversationally as she
sat down beside "him, '"I've not yet
had the• chance to thank you for com-
ing to fetch me the other nig-ht. You
heard of course that I arrived too
late?"
„Yes."
"I drove into. a ditch in my hurry
and that .delayed me."
"Oh!" .
-
The car sped on for a few mi• ents
in silence. "It's a fine day,') said
Tips at length.
"Very."
"I'm glad I ran into you .just now,
I 'wanted to ask you something.
A•en't you due for twenty-four hours'
leave sbon?"
"I'm taking it next Thursday."
"Gran'd. I'm due for twenty-four
hours too. I'm going home. My peo-
ple bave a' rather pleasant place in
Sussex. I'd like to take you along
with me. After all, I ought. to intro-
duce them to the girl I'm going to
marry."
:'And I have other plans, thank
you," said Jane coolly.
"Cancel them."
„No."
Tips shot a glance at her. She
looked at him and caught it. She
turned away from him again. As
they reaohed the road to the station,
Tips' suddeniyr shot off in the, oppo-
site, direction. Jane said sharply,
"This isn't my way."
"SI know it isn't."
"Well, what are you doing?"
"Taking you for .a ride."
Jane drew a •swift breath. "Woiild
you please turn right around. There's
a train at ten -fifty and I propose to
catch it." •
"Not on. your •sweet life! I have
•
other plans in mind."
Jane gave him a withering look.
They .drove swiftly along the wide
arterial road and ,then, turning off
suddenly, wound their . way down a
narrow lane, They sped on until at
last they came to a dead-end at an
open clearing. Tip brought the car
to a standstill and stopped the ,' en-
gine. "This Wit nice quiet spot. Very
few people know of it." He took her
in his arms and kissed. her. She
struggled hard to get free of him.
He held her tightly, but she managed
to eietrieate one hand and she slap-
ped his face and told herself she felt
much better.
"Don't they?" Said Jane veatowous-
ly; -,She atappedl his other Cheek even
harder. She'` said ibitterly, ",Y`ou can
try your caveman stuff . with your
other women, but I'm not going to
stand for it.'
"No?" He laughed shortly, but
his eyes burned suddenly as if lit by
fires from within. "Don't be so silly!
You know perfectly well you're thor-
oughly enjoying it."
Jane's eyes -flashed. "I . . ." she
began. But she got no further. Again
she was in his arms and he, was kiss-
ing her, and this time it wasn't much
use struggling. He released her and
in a flash she was out of the car.
She stood on the grass verge of the
lane, her face white with fury.
at "Well,"' he said mildly, "what do
you think you're doing there?" he
-pres§ed ,the self-starter. ' "It's all
right. You can get 'back. I' shan't
kiss you again.. • I haven't time. Itl
probably disappoint you to hear it,
but I too have an appointment in
town. I'm due there before twelve.
If we start now I can just make it."
"With Iris Stanton, I suppose?"
flared Jane, and, could have bitten
her tongue off .the moment she'd said
it.
Ile smiled. ' "Quite right. Though
mind you I might try to put• her off
if you'd, be a little more friendly to
me." He started the engine and was
swinging the car around and drawing
up beside her. "Are you coming with
me? I'll drive you to the station."
"No."
"It's a "lgng walk."
"I don't care."
"Right. Follow this lane back
again to the main road, then it's
about., five miles down. Of course,
you may get a lift."
'She, "Stared at bin. He couldn't
really mean this. She`d thought .of
course
course that onceagain he'd tell het
not to be silly, hold the door open
for her and say,' "Come on. Jump in
quickly." Sitting beside him in the
car again, she might even have
brought herself to tell7!A him that she
was sorry, •that she' krievtT- she'd gone
too far.
Already the car=seas streaking dower
the lane. He didn't even look back
as . he whisked around a corner. A
dreadful feeling ofi tiredness over-
came the anger she felt at being so
ungallantly' deserted.
Iris was sorry for. -.Guy's sakethat
he'd failed to return on that fateful
nighti-now nearly a fortnight ago. But
for her own ... her heart beat- more
quickly. It suited her very well to
be free. Her face was pale, her eyes
were large and dark and they were
the eyes of a -woman who'd gone
through a great deal of suffering.
She'd worn that look for the past ten
days. °It had been, she thought, most
effective. •
A clock nearby ,•struck seven. Tips
would .be calling .for her in a few
minutes. Ste' had come up to town
yesterday because she'd wanted to, do
some shopping. At'le.ast that' was the
excuse she'd given to all those well-
meaning friends ,at the airgrome. Ac-
tually, when she'd learned that Tips
was due for twenty-four hours' leave,
she'd telephoned to. Mary Leighton,
With whom she always stayed when
,in London, and asked if she could put
in a night with her. She'd said to
Tips before she left, "If you're going
to be in town, couldn't we perhaps
meet on, Friday and come back 't'o-
gether?;' Tips had said that he
wouldn't be in town.. He'd promised
to spend his brief leave with his peo-
ple in Sussex. ,Then seeing, she sup-
posed, her look of disappointment, he
went on, "I'll tell you what I'll do
if you like, Iris. I'll come hack via
London and we'll dine together and
I'll drive you home afterwards. I'm
afraid, my dear, I can't see you earl-
ier."
She'd jumped at this suggestion,
though • it ,hadn't been • at all What
she'd wanted. She'd hoped they might
have spent the day together, that at
least he'd 'have come up in time' *for
them to meet for lunch. Still, this
was certainly better than nothing;
he'd' be ifor her any moment
now.
Mary had told her at breakfast that
morning that she was afraid she
wouldn't ,lie in' that evening. She
was due at a cocktail party at six
o'clock.•
Iris heard 'the front -door ,bell- ring
and the maid" going to answer in. The
next moment she could hear. Isis' voice
In the hall. "Is Mrs. Stanton here?"
"Yes, s'ir, would you please come.

'She. picked • up her mink . coat and

when sihe opened the d,raw'ing room

ed et eight --of 'hew,. "You're beauti-

. "I .sb.ae't mind that" She smiled
at him; "Have you enjoyed your lit-
tiet,rest?"
"Very much, thanks."
She'd not seen a great deal of bhp
since that fateful night.' She won-
dered in sudden' panic if Sally Hunt-
er's stories could have reached his
ears. Sally had come to her three
days ago and accused her of keeping
Tiles back from the big raid. She'd
learned: -from Jane Lanibolt, Iris had
•guessed --that he'd been with ,her
when Guy had telephoned and that
purposely she had kept back the mes-
sage. Sally had stormed and• wept
and accused' her bitterly of being re-
sponsible for Jimmie Stafford's' death.
"But for you," Sally had flung at her
wildly, "he would be alive today. If
yoh'd only told Tips he was want-
ed . '
She'd told Sally quite coolly that
she'd had her own reasons for not
telling Tips that Guy had telephoned.
Then quite suddenly she lost her
temper with the younger girl, took
her by the shoulders and shook her
violently, She'd said threateningly,
"If you dare to say one single word
more about this to allying soul you'll
be sorry for it. Do you understand
me?"
Sally had understood all right. Sal-
ly knew Iris• would be as good as her
word, and Iris could make Sally ex-
tremely sorry.
She looked ' at Tips now and won-
dered how she coii1 "get back to their
old footing.
She, said hesitatingly, "Don't think
me very dreadful, Tips; but I am en-
joyin.g this evening so much. These
last few days have been such a strain.
You see, well . .. in a little rush
she went on ". . . I can be honest
with you, can't I, darling? You
wouldn't want me to be anything else,
would you?". -
He looked at her sharply, his brows
drawn together. He wasn't so sure
about this. "I can't quite see what.
you're getting at."
Her eyes met his,' telling him ex-
actly. "Can you? Can't you really,
Tips?" she said softly. "You see,
Tips, though I''was desperately sorry
that Guy lost his life, I just can't pre-
tend to you of all people that it meant
personally so very much to me. You
surely you realized that for a
long while now Guy and I . .
Tips had .a sudden revulsion of feel-
ing.
eeling. He shouldn't, he supposed. "Iris
don't let's talk about Guy. I feel
pretty bad every time I think about
him."
Iris' eyes fi�Jt€�d. Her lips trembled.
This conversation wasn't going al al
the way she wanted. Fear maidenly
seizes her. She faced • a fact that
she'd been refusing to face for some
time. He felt a softcool hand touch
his. ia heard a pathetic voice say,
"Tips, dealing, I just can't bear it if
you turn against me."
Tips squeezed the hand and releas-
'ed it. ' "Tin not• turning -against ypu,
my dear.", ,
"Aren't you? You -you've been so
different. since Guy . , ." ,she broke
off, her lips working. A• tear fell
down her cheek.
Tips said in sudden exasperation,
"Iris, you can't cry herel"
She made an effort to pull• herself
together. "I -I'm sorry. 1 don't
want to. But it's your fault, darling.
I feel so utterly wretched."
As they drove home, Iris decided
miserably that she wished they hadn't
dined together. 'Skimming swiftly
through the moonlit countryside, she
felt just as wretched as she had back
in- London•. They reached the house
and he stopped the car. .Iris turned,
a hand' on his arm. "You'll come in
for a drink, Tips?"
"I don't'think I will tonight, if you
don't mind. It's pretty late."

Each 'blood donor. must observe a
few simple rules before ,he or she
gives a donation, clinics advise. For
instance, among other things, no but-
ter, bacon and cream tan, be consum-
ed for about eight hours prior to the
appointment 'at the clinic. If these
rules are disregarded the fats ' con-
sumed will rise to surface of the
plasma making it, difficult to process.
When one donation has been made,
this doe's not end your possible con-
tribution. Blood donations may be
made every three months with no bad
effect upon health if directions given
at the Blood Donor •Clinic -are follow-'
ed. When six donations have been
made by a woman, the Blood Donor
Clinic insists that she wait six months
between visits.
The actual length of time required
' to' make the donation, including the
haemoglobin checkup and the filling
of the 400 c.c.••container, is only about
15 minutes.
The whole blood is then shipped im-
mediately to laboratories where the
red 'cells. are removed. The .remain-
ing serum is pooled and then process-
ed into a dry powder form which re-
tains its effectiveness as a transfu-
sion agent. The serum is placed in
aled containers where it can be
kept indefinitely and given as ,a trans-
fusion to persons of any blood type
by simuly dissolving it in distilled
sterilized water. •
The sealed containers are shipped
to the places where they are most
needed. Every military' post, every
ship and every air station must hate
a supply. Five individual donations
are required to ,make enough plasma
for one transfusion.
School children are helping in their
way with this Red Cross activity;
Durifig school days, the children
made tapes to fit around the serum
bottles. With these tapes the bottles
can be hung .on a desert 'cactus, the
handle of a porthole or from any
handy object and transfusions can be
given on the spot.
