Jane YCIIBB th B WA.A.r. The night before entering service she walks through dim streets and collides with a flight lieutenant of the R.A.F. Stopping to break her en- gagement with, Stella she discov- ers that the lieutenant„ Tilmothy Poel Sanders -nicknamed "Tips" -is Stella's divorced husband. Jane hears that Tips' squardron flies at 10 'o'clock and that they are searching for him. She ped- als to the home of 'Mrs. Stanton, where she finds the flier. He leaves at once. Mrs. Stanton ac - apes Sane of sending Tips to his death. Tips misses th e flight from which Flight Lieutenant Stanton and Jimmie Stafford fail to return. Later, Stanton returns as from the dead, and sees Tips kissbag his wife at the gate. He threatens to divorce her. Jane meets Stella again and finds her in 'desperate circumstances, She asks, Stella to join the W.A.A.F. Stella glanced at herselt in the glass and shook her head. 'Not to- day, my pet." ,, Jane laughed. "Well, mostdaYs' anyway. I say, -what'efr. the time? How about corning out and having some lunch with me?" She had plen• ty of money. She'd hardly spent a penny for weeks. Although- she' didn't earn much, if she saved it up she felt she was -entitled to have a,little burst in London. "And after. lunch," she said, "I must get my hair washed." "I thought of washing my own," said Stella. "I always do thee day's. I'm supposed. to be going out this ev- ening. i'm not sure now that I won't put it off. I'm only meeting Rupert and I know he welt mind." "Oh, no, you won't! Because I'm going out too." Stella looked at her swiftly, inquiry in her eyes. Her lips formed a name. Jane shook her' head. "No, not Tips. He and I are not on dining terms any longer. No, I'm meeting Clive Forbes. By the way, I take it my dresses are still here?" "Oh yes. They're hanging ' in the closet just where you left them." That evening, as both girls were dressing to go out,'Stella brought the conversation around to Tips. -again. "What's be like, Jane? Is he still de- vastating?" Jane began to smear cold cream ov- er her face, preparatory to removing her daytime make-up. "Well, pf course I'm prejudiced against him so perhaps not the right persqn to judge. he girl' all say though that he's the most attractive man on the station." Stella leaned forward toward' the mirror. She said, not looking at Jane as she spoke, "Rupert asked' me to marry him last bight. I've seen a lot of him recently. Practically every day." • . Jane said- warmly, "Darling, that's grand news. At least it will be if you're going to -say yes to him." Stella began to brush her hal; with firm, vigoroue strokes. She said, her brows daawn together in . a worried little frown, indecision in her voice. ''That's the trouble, Jane. I don't think I am. I'm terribly fond of him. I always have been. But . . . oh, I don't, know -somehow I don't think I'll ever be able to bring myself tb marry anybody. There was, Tips, yOu see." Jane said almost angrily, -"Darling, I think you're wrong not to marry Rupert. He's worth a hundred Tips - es." Stella, swung around on the stool. at her dressing table. "Does that make any difference? One doesn't love a man for what he's worth." Jane knew this, but she said sage. ly that one should, and asked, over her shoulder, "Why won't you, Stel- la?" "Because" Stella said slowly, "I think it wou)4d be' so unfair to Rup- ert. I'd only- agree to marry him if I were in love with him. And 'So laing' as feel as I do about Tips-", her voice trailed aWay. Her eyes, which Jane could see in the mirror, were thoughtful. It was ,odd that they should both be in love with Tips, that they, being such close friends-, should; respond with the, same intens- ity to -the attractions of the same intensity to the attractions of the same man. But "wale something that would get neither of them any- where. The sooner she Made- Stella appreciate this truth the better. Jane slid into her satin, slip and reached for the filmy gray chiffon dress that was still on a hanger. She said, her voice coming to. the other girl from the masses of gossamer ma- terial, "What do you want ,from n;iar- riage, Stella? Must it 'still be the same as yogi:.ed for the first timer Stella pluefiei. a .tag eyebrow be- fore replying. "I don't think I know. I don't suppose I really 4want, the same. I could never got it. Tips had all my first fine Careless rapture," She laughed as she Went on, a trace Of tattlielaill in her voice.

"You know, our trou- ble is we're both incurably romanti "God knows 1 shouldn't be. I w •disillusioned about romance and lo hnd marriage long ago. It's odd ho ideas persist, how that ridiculous n gling feeling still remains that p haps one day Tips and I . . ." broke off. "Oh, Jane, what are y doing to me! I don't want to ta about' him." Jane said gently, "Isn't it bett sometimes to bringthings into- t open? You've kept this hope of you hidden too deep in your heart." a little rush she continued, "Y wouldn't do something, I supmas Something that I think is an extrem ly good idea?" • Stella looked at her warily. "Sue as" Jane drew k little quick breat "See Tips again," she said. Stella's eyes flashed. She said tens ly, "Considering you've just given m the glad tidings that he's about t figure in another •divorce case, hardly imagine there's much chane of our 'corning together,' if that . th e little romantic idea .you have i mind." Stella said bitterly that Jane ▪ wa a fool to imagine she and Tips coul ever ,be reconciled. Their break ha been absolutely final.. Too man things had been Said on both side that neither could forgive. Jan glanced at the time. It wae-gettin on. She would have to hurry or- sh would., be late for Clive. She' gay herself one final inspection in th long mirror. a She thought i; if Tip were to see me now the chances ar he wouldn't recognize me. She wish ed momentarily that he could. • Jane found Clive waiting - for her when she reached the Savoy. Ble came forward eagerly to greet her. In his uniform she • had to admit that he looked strikingly handsome. He stood smiling down at her. "I thought you were lovely when I saw you this morning. But tonight-" Jane met his eyes. "I admit this. getup is a little more fenainine." "You'd always be feminine. That's mar charm. I like my woniert to he ssentially feminine." She wrinkled up her nose at him. 'I wasn't aware that I was one of our women." "Weren't you?" He laughed softly. 'You could be the only one if you hoe." She laughed this aside. She said t was far too early in the evening. She said, as. they came away from he show some few hourslater, "Isn't his where I say good -night and go ome?" "Indeed it isn't! I've • booked a able at the Cafe de Paris. Darling, e decided in the train, don't yii emembera that we'd make a night of t?" A shadow crossed, her eyes. Tips a,d, wanted her to go to the Oafe de arts the -first night they'd met, but he'd run away from him, leaving him o find her gone. But tonight-to- ight she wasn't with Tips. She could ine and -dance with Olive every night nd never want to run away from him or fear that by seeing too much of m he might have the power to urt her. To heck with Tips Poe/anders.

"So it is ane! Just a't first I wasn't certain!" Clive rose to his feet. Jane intro- uced them.

"Not unless' I'm sent for. They know where I am.' After that other time, you remember the one I mean, I always leave word where I can fie found." "It seems a, wise precaution.". She waved a little hand airly in his direc- tion. '-"Well, good-bye, Tips. It's been ,fun running into you." Tips said a curt good-bye to Jane and an even curter one to Clive. Jane watched him walk away, a wistful look in her eyes. • "Jane, my sweet," said Olive ge,nt- ly, "I think you overdid it. You're in love with him, aren't yn?" "No," said Jane fiercely and told herself she meant it. He shook his head. "You can't de- ceive me, my child. Still, it's nice h. to hear you deny it." Jane felt sudden tears prick her e- eyes. She said softly, "I'm sorry, e Clive. Did I make an exhibition of o naydelf?" I "No, darling. You were merely a e little young." is' "i don't feel very young. I feel n old and disillusioned."

She was look- s ing in his direction as a page ap- e proached him, obviously with a mes- - sage. She saw him rise to his feet, say a word to his companions and move away. The music stopped and 'she gave Clivea hand a quick -little squeeze. , • When two o'clock came and the band packed up Clive said: . "How about coming back to my place for a quick one and then I'll take you home?" Normally she would have refus'ed. But this evening she wasb't feeliug normal and she wasn't in a hurry to go back to the apartment and gill) quietly into bed. "It will have to be a quick one.". "It will be, my sweet." When they arrived, he showed her into. his comfortably furnished sitting riom, found drinks for them both, and sat her down in a chair opposite him. He .said, If we keep this re- spectful distance, you won't feel any qualms about paying me this noctur- nal visit," a . She gave a .little laugh. . "I. haven't any. Why can't a girl .be alone in an apartment with a roan at two in the morning without -evil-minded peo- ple imagining there's something in it?" (Continued Next kVeek) Achievement (By 13. K. Sandwell, Editor, Saturday Night) When the automotive industry of Canada turned over to the Minister of Munitions and Supply, on June 19. 1943, its 500,000th unit of mechanized transport for war, it did mor q than establish a remarkable record of pro- duction. It gave proof that Canada's share in the struggle for freedom was an indispensable bne. There is a rather widespread dis- position in Canada to regard the con- tribution of this country to the com- mon war against the Axis Powers as something very useful and helpful, but something well short of being indis- pensable for victory. The chances are that history, when it comes to ex- amine the war as a -whole, will put it a good deal higher than. that. The chances are that history will say that by certain contributions to the com- mon cause Canada actually saved the day for the forces of liberty'. Some of those contributions are military; some are economic. The Axis Powers conquered conti- ental Europe by the superiority of their mechanized transport. They were stopped at the 'English 'Claim& -because their mechanized transport could not reach across it. They push - 'ed their way in North Africa -almost to Egypt by the superiority of their mechanized transport. They were hurled back from Egypt, and' even- tually expelled from North Africa, when the superiority of mechanized transport. began to pass to us, their enemies. They -are now being con- lmered in Europe by our superiority of, mechanized .transport. In the attainment of that superi- ority for our side, the 500,006 -Units proVided by Canada have been of ov, erWhelraing Importance. At the very point where, and' the very moment' whett, the tide Of battle began to turn in our favor, at El Alan:Leh% Canada's mechattiSed tranaport 'Vehicles were present 1iiVast ilinilber4 II Pint' $ • a or,..131"0.1:09'.4. • I' • ,0,10:4100 4.0*^t, •:fth0,2'0414ht,3,'' Cian-444000. -the Desert • -4,alOY.' rtralfaikerf Tile PTO thiatiOn Of Pagehan-40' tranapeat velitelea ter vkiriao,,glig,n0: '4teelalized bueinesa, There •11,04 Nen no saPerthilty of either skill or erinipe Mont fair slick Prot:W.010A. :The fight-, bag men •Our .side loave needed the simport af ''every .prodactive agency that Could be adapted to the meeting of these requirenients.
