and the newlywed Andre* and
Candace Thane ocean' the two
top -loos+ ' apartments and below
them middle-aged Bert Fitts and
hie wife -who is too engrossed in
war activities to care for her
tome --and King 'Waters, veteran
of World War I and his wife, Em-
ma,
mma, a devotee of fine crocheting.
The Peppercorns wish to help a
destitute family found ' by Hen,
the junkman, sheltered under his
scrap metal. Mrs. Peppercorn
calls on Mrs. Fitts to ask her aid
but Mrs. Fitts is not interested.
Candace and Andy discuss the
possibilities of the passage ofe a
•bill exempting men of 28 and ov-
er:
'She lay against his heart without
speaking. Nothing is permanent but
this, she thought. The men and girls
she•and Andy knew had stopped plan-
ning, many, of •them, and were wait-
ing listlessly for someone dr some-
thing to give them a definite signal.
Andy and I can't be sure were right
but at least we've moved "forward to
meet life, Candace reflected, listening
to the strong, steady beats of her hus-
band's heart. She did not believe
that the age exemption, depressed
Andy. They had their pattern, the
design might be altered, but it could
not be destroyed. Aloud she said
gently, "How much money have we
in the baby's envelope, Papa?"
They counted it together -eighty
dollars thriftily set aside since they
had begun to pool 'their salaries.
We could save eight dollars' more a
month, if it weren't for Zither," Can-
dace 'sighed, "but I suppose she needs
the money, too."
No hospitable minded people be-
grudged a few friends a night's lodg-
ing, Candace, putting away clean lin-
en a few evenings later, said. But
what if' they had a limited, supply of
sheets?
"It's no trouble to do the washing,"
she fibbed smoothly, "the laundry in
the basement is completely equipped,
even to a mangle. It's really fun to
work in such a light, dry place. Zither
is positively fascinated by all the ma-
chinery." // .
"I've found ydu washing twice in
the late afternoon without Zither,"
Andy tabulated sternly. "This Satur-

her, shook a shower of pickles into
a paper cup. -
Coles said interestedly, "Is he up
on leave?"
At the stove where she was melt-
ing cheese for Andy, who liked
gooey snacks, Candace turned. "Does
he know about the •exemption for
men twenty-eight and over?" .
"Leila% i;eady for the usual fight,"
Patty Bailey said, --licking her fingers
daintily.
Andy wished for a moment that
they would all go home and leave
this kitchen, with the blue gingham.
check ceurtains, the silver and gray
and black fittings that Candace loved,
to his wife and to him.. Then the
swift recollection that none of these
people was as happy as he and Can-
dace, urged him „to be kind. •All of
them were young, most of them were
poor and none of them, with the ex-
ception of Leila, asked enough of life.
"What about Dick Mason?" Can-
dace prompted. now. "What did he
say about the exemption talk, Min-
nie?"
Dick had been in uniform, Minnie
answered.- "He's tickled pink, of
Course. He was twenty-eight last
April."
"Whenll they release him?'? Coles
Arnold put mustard on Swiss cheese.
In. November, Minnie thought. "But
he says the officers are telling the
boys that they'll be recalled. None
of the regular Arany men like the rul-
ing because they ,lose fellows- they've
just got trained. I'll bet they won't
be called back -that's just to make
them uneasy."
"They'll be recalled all right,," An-
dy began to open cans of beer. "You
are twenty-eight, aren't you, Halsey?"
Leila put down her cigarette to ac-
cept her glass. "Gee, what luck, Hal-
sey! Here's looking at you, Andy -
and I hope you'll be twenty-eight be-
fore your number's called."
Patty Bailey shrugged. She was a
plump, bustling and bossy girl, but-
toned tightly into a black frock that
fitted her like the casing on esaus-
age. "If I had a brother, I'd be glad
to see him off to training camp," she
announced. "What's the matter with
you -guys, anyway? A year in mili-
tary camp would be the making of
every one of you."
"I don't see why you think -military
training is all to the good," Leila al-
ways. plunged into conversation as if

Andy one July night when, warm and
tired, he reached, home half an hour
;late.
"This is Thursday. They know they
can't spend the night. Leila may be
able to sit up till three in the morn-
ing and go -to business the next day,
but we need our sleep. And I will
not double up with Kurt on the couch
when it's as hot as this."
They might, be able to go to bed
early, Candace offered none too hope-
fully. "I can't head them off -they're
somewhere on the road. Anywayq if

anti talk to us, we can't be mean."
Leila talked, as she diad everything
else, incessantly and tensely. Welch-
ing her that evening, Andy wondered
as he had before, whether Kurt Her-
idann ever opened his mouth en the
long motoring• trips he and Leila took
together. The young German was not
unresponsive, he obviously listened
with courteous interest, but he con -
Muted almost nothing to the *gen-
eral conversation. He had a delight-
ful smile and a slow, hesitant man-
ner that was rather engaging. None
cif Leila's friends quite knew what
she saw int him, but they would have
said that of any man whom she con-
sistently ".dated.
Two other .couples, in addition to
Kurt and Leila, had dropped in on
their way home from /the movies.
They had thoughtfully brought a huge
bag of Prepared food -cheese and
hard rolls, beer, cold cuternham, chick-
en, potato salad, pickles and pretzels,

CHRISTMAS LIMIT
War savings stamps and certificates;
are roving patriotic and practical
gifts in many families. Others are
limiting their gift purchases to twen-
t -five or fifty cents. As somebody
remarked recently, "After sell, it's on-
ly for the fun of opening things at
Christmastime. We're going to 'see
landed on our shores?"
No one was surprised when, Leila
stood up. "There wouldn't be wars,
if the ordinary people used their
heads," she said. "No one wants war.
How can I hate the Gertnans;, when
know Kurt?" ,
"So- what?" Patty put down her
beer glass with a thud.
Leila flung up her head, her hands
gripped the table edge. "What I'm
trying to tell you dopes is that every-
one would 'get along peaceably -Ger-
mans, Italians, everybody -if each one
had enough. There s'houldn't be any
very poor, or very rich."
' Minnie Davis, leaning against Hal-
sey as she smoked, said lazily that
Communist propaganda didn't fool
her. "You're like all the rest of the
fuss -buttons, Leila; you paint a rosy
picture of the world as you'd like it
to be. It doesn't' follow, that it is
what I want. You can't even be Sure
that it's the kind of world ...Kurt
wants."
But if the majority of people want-
ed it, Leila argued hotly, they were
entitled to have it. "To live in the
country, to fish and swim and not try
to mike a lot of money -that kind
of life would please most people.
What ails the world -is that the petty,
*selfish, grubby ambitions of the few
are set up as something to strive for.
I don't want to be rich ---ever."
They assured her that the danger
was remote, but Leila could not smile.
She sat down and resumed her furious
smoking, shoulder to shoulder with
Kurt:'
"A hundred years from now it will
be all' the same," said Coles Arnold,
a little more aggressivelythan usual
because he had iiad two cans of beer.
