handset as the telephone rang and a
high-pitched -voice :began to chatter'
rapidly over the wire.'
"I don't precisely advocate our en-
trance into the war," she said now,
pushing the phone back. "I think we
ought to help Britain in every way
and if she needs our men, .why
then-"
Her husband was silent.
"It's the women who have to up-
hold a nation's ideals," Toni recited.
"Yeti admit that, don't you?"
"I don't know what you're uphold-
ing and I doubt whether you do," he
told her, replacing the cover on the
jam jar. "Women whose men will be
in the service -like that girl on the
top floor -have -some right to argue,
perhaps, though I'm not at all sure.
After all, it's the men of military age
who should do the talking -they'll be
staking their lives, Amelia.."
His wife frowned. She had been
christened Amelia. She began to ga-
ther up her books and .pencils. "I
must get upstairs to call on that Mrs.
Thane. hemay he .glad to do a lit-
tle work for us --Mrs. Waters told me
she holds some kind of clerical posi-
tion."
Footsteps sounded in the kitchen,
the door clicked. "Morning, Miz
Fitts," 'Belle, the cleaning woman,
called cheerfully.
Toni -Fitt encountered old Mrs.
Peppercorn in the hall that, evening
as she prepared to 'mount ,the stairs
to the third floor. Stair climbing af-
forded an excellent opportunity to
slim the -calves and thighs, the beauty
parlor instructor had informed her, so
that when Mrs. Peppercorn had reach-
ed the second landing onsher way to
the street, the old lady was a little
alarmed to see a tall, thin Woman bni-
ancing 'herself on 'ene 'leg with her
other knee preSsed against her chest,.
"Oh -good evening." Toni Fitts re-
sumed her normal stance. "I'm on
my Way up to see your new neigh-
bors. I don't suppose you know whe-
ther the Thanes are home, Mrs. Pep-
percorn?"

low bus commuters."
"What I wanted to ask you," said
Emma Waters, "is whether you'd .be
willing to. let me have the° laundry
and yard this Thursday." Her lean,
dress, she explained, usually came
Wednesday tut this week had served
notice that ter home affairs required
her attention that day.
Wednesday was as convenient as
any other day for her, Candace sub-
mitted oheerfully. "We send out the
big things every other week and
can do our small laundry almost' any
time. If Mrs. Daffodil doesn't care-"
"Laws, she never interferes with
the tenants' arrarigements. It'll -be
only for this week and thanks a lot,
Mrs. Thane. King, aren't you ever go-
ing to settle down?"
King Waters said, "I'm on my way
out. You fo'ks like it here, Mrs.
Thane? Beginning to feel settled?"
"It's lovely." The girl's bright ser-
enity suddenly sparkled. "We're
crazy about the apartment and we'
re, looking forward to the Summer
when that grand big lawn out back
will be green."
Her host chewed reflectively on his
frayed cigar. "Can't look very far a-
head, I'm afraid. A let of things can
happen between now and next Sum-
mer."
She looked at him intently, the glow
in her large eyes faded.
"I'm afraid .most of you young peo-
ple are going .to come face to face
with relaity before many months are
over. The news from across the pond
isn't getting any better, you know."
"Andy won't. claim exemption,"
Candace spoke gently, her smooth
fmrhead unruffled.
"I don't suppose you and Mr. Thane
would be intere-sted in a couple, of
tickets for- the American Legion
bazaar •and fair? Lots of prizes and
a hang-up supper, Friday and Satur-
daynights next week. My wife's talk-
ing of donating one of the fancy
spreads she makes to be raffled off."
He •held up two orange -colored slips.
"Proceeds go to help the disabled vet-
erans at the Memorial Hospital."
They couldn't go, their week -ends
were always planned ahead, Candace
regretfully declined. She 'Would, how-
ever, take the two tickets. "We're al-
ways glad todo what we can for the
disabled veterans, Mr. Waters. I can
dispose of more, tickets, if you'd like
me' to -I can sell them to friends at
the office."
"How many tickets you think you
can sell -at seventy-five apiece? A
dozen -swell!" She was, he told her,
a swell person and, an example others
might well follow, "People would
completely forget those boys in the
Pospital, 41 we didn't,• prod them:"
* *
"I wish 1 knew where I 'could get
a woman. with a car," said Toni Fitts
into the telephone.
She and lier husband occupied 2-B,
across the hall from the Waters, but
the two families could not be called
neighborly. Toni possessed a nervous
driving energy that found expression
in a dozen channels and kept her con-
stantly and actively occupied. She was
a -thin, tall, woman with a lfad, bright
manlier and a will to power that net-
ted her chairmanships almost auto-
matically. Efficiency was her fetish
and everything about 'her, from her
severely taildred gray flannels to her
chomium-colored hair, cut short and
swept back from her face in sharply
carved rolls that looked , as' inflexible
as glass, suggested mechanical peftec-
don.
"Well, I have someonein mind."
She appeared to clip off each word
she uttered and to let it drop into the
Phone like a metal bead. ``No, she
hasn't a car -at ,least so far as I
know. But clerical training. Makes
a nice im.pression. Yes. ,Calls me
back at this time tomorrow morning
and I'll let you know."
She replaced (he handset and glanc-
ed speculatively across the breakfast
table at her 'husband, who was' watch-
ing the coffee percolator. Toni boast-
ed that she planned tier day while
breakfasting and certainly the table
represented a fusion. of interests with
nutrition coming 'out a poor seoond.
The telephone, several leathrhound
engagement hooks, two calendars and
a number of Memorandum pads with
attached pencils fenced in Toni's
place. •
Bert Fitts, a grizzled, Placid gentle-
man of penhaps fifty-five or siXty who
had no gure to lose, deftly pread
thick apricot preserves 'en a fresh
slice of toast and genially inquired,
"Well, what's cooking?"
"This is a terrific week for ,me,"
his wife informed him..
Her husband pointed to the,percola-
tor. "Thi•ow out that cold eflop and
have a hot cup." •
"You're Andrew Thane, aren't. you?
I guess you don't kiiow me, but I'm
a neighbor .of yours -King Waters..
We live in the same house -my wife
end I .are directly under you, on the
second floor." •
They shook hands gravely.
Pis wife, King promised, would be
up to call on Mrs. Thane before long.
"She wantedto let her have time to
get settled. I've gone down with you
on the same bus two or three morn-
ings, but there, was always a crowd
and I had no chance to speak to you."
Andrew Thane read the first para-
graph of baseball comment, then
forced himself td mumble conversa-
tionally, "Pretty Pair service on this
line."
Transportation w a s temporarily
speeded up, King assured him, be-
cause of the approaching Spring elec-
tions. "But the service we're getting
now will seem, de luxe, compared with
what we'll be getting once we're in
the war."
That night King \Waters mentioned
tosilais wife that he had spoken to
young Thane in the bus. -When are
you going up to call on Mrs. Thane?"
"Oh, Isome time. Why?"
He had tho'bglit she might be able
to dispose of a couple of tickets for
the Legion's fair and bazaar, Waters
suggested. "You know I got to get
rid of sixty."
His wife said that he had only him-
self to thank for that. "You always
were one to bite off more than you
could chbvs. " Her crochet hook -
flashed swiftly.
"Made up your mind about giving
the :committee, oneof ypur spre.ads?
Haven't you got one with a mistake
in it, a dropped stitch or something?"
"Every one of my spreads is perfect
and you know it."..•
• Her husband 'took his unlighted cig-
ar,from his mouth, examined it with
apparent interest, replaced it still un-
lighted. ,"Franaa?"
"Well, what?"
"When do you think you'll get up to
see Mrs. Thane?"
"My good heavens, how do I know?
She isn't home during the day and
I've got somethi.ng better to do with
my evemrgs 'rEan running around
calling on women who don't take en-
ough intesest in their homes to stay
there. I suppose, though, I won't
have any peace until I go to see her
and try to sell her a couple of tick-
ets."
Waters said, reproachful patience
heavy on his tongue, "Fanny how you
feel about doing anything for the
Legion. Here I was- willing to give
my life in the last war and you -and
a lot of dames like you -stall when
you're asked to help fellows who need
hero now." •
His wife turned the radio dial and
an impassioned tenor voice ,besought
listeners -in to sample the merits of a
new dessert. Emma Waters said
coldly, "I don't believe you were so
crazy about the' war until you found
yourself safely out of it."
"Is that so? Maybe I wasn't crazy
about the war, but I *11,s ready to do
my duty. Not like that young fellow
upstairs who is apparently all set to
claim exemption. It'a.a disgrace, the
way marriage applications have junip-
d selective training went into
effect. Falling over each other ,at
the City gall, to get a marriage.lic-
ense so they can hide behind -Some
woman's skirts:"
"You were drafted." Emma Waters
crocheted a- chain of stars at top
speed.
"Well, what's that got to do with it?
I did what was asked of me and I
stand ready to do it again. If we go
into this a second time, I'm going to
see what I can do about -getting a -
commission."
His wife shrugged her narrow
shoulders... An airplane, , flying 'low,
droned over the house and the noise
seemed to partake of motion -like a
shudder. "There's a good chance
Mrs, Thane will stop in here tonight,"
Emma Waters said.
\ They had niade, each other's ac-
quaintance in AM neighborhood cash

her husband's curious prodding.
"But why's she coming here?"
"I asked her. .I can't' get Pearl for,
any day but Thursday next week and
I want to See' if Mrs, Thane will ex-
change garden days with me. . She
said her husband studies nights, so I
thought it Would, be better to have her
come down than for me to go up." ,
She might have said ,something

grease are rubber's worst enemies
and dampness, too, causes the rubber
to rot.
Apple Desserts
There is an almost infinite variety
of desserts that 'Can be made from
apples. The fact that they are so
easy on the sugar ration is as big
•
a point in their, favour as their popu-
larity with the family.
In tests made by the Consumer Sec-
tio. of the. Dominion Department of
Agri ulture, 1 teaspo6n of sugar per
apple was found to be- enough to
sweeten baked apples or sauce, •Of
course in the case of apple sauce, as
with any stewed fruit, the sugar
should be added after the fruit is'
cooked and a dash of salt also helps
to bring out the natural sweetness.
If baked apples are filled with one
tablespoon of mincemeat or raisins
or me tablespoon of sweetened, left-
over cooked cereal, no further sweet-
ening will be required.
