This wur business has got me. Pm going to get in there and pitch." Christie was very still in Bart's. arms. She must have blown this was coming. Now, she knew how all the wives and sweethearts over the world felt when they heard this same news. As though some- thing was closing around your heart, "I'll wait," Christie whispered. "Oh, darling — it might be a long time. But you will stand by, Christie?" "You know I will." He kissed her again, and then released her. A low, amused laugh had startled them. "Hello, soldier." s * Sandra Rydall had come close to then. She was nearer Christie, but her eyes were on Bart. "Hello," Bart said, adding "Christie, this is Sandra Rydall." He turned to Christie: "Shall we tell her?" "Why not?" Christie thought, happily. It would be just as well for this arrogant young beauty to know how things stood. "I'm the seventh daughter of a seventh son," Sandra said lightly. "That makes me know things without being told. Besides I was only two feet away when you sprang the big news" "Oh," Christie's face burned. The girl was bold, shameless. "But it wasn't news to me," Sandra continued carelessly. "You see he had told me before. You're still strong for the Air Corps, I guess." Christie's shocked surprise was succeeded by pure fury. If she spoke now, she would certainly betray her indignation and con- tempt for this girl and her cheap tactics. She did not speak, wait- ing for Bart to put the stranger in her place. He had But Bart was smiling. lighted a cigarette and the brief glow showed the amused gleam in his eyes. "You evidently think I don't know my mind." "People change them," Sandra said slowly. "Well, it's still the Air Corps with me," Bart answered. He added, "and I don't .change my mind."

"I'm bound for the Red Heron where men are—" "Are drunk, and the girls, too," Christie broke in, an edge to her voice.. "The perfect Family Tone," Tommy laughed. "Let's switch to something pleasant. There's a girl here—well, nothing quite like her has ever set foot in this town before. She came in late with the Robb Nortons. She and I are going to slip out at intermission. I promised to show her our most spectacular night spot. She's really keen about it." The Robb Nortons. Then the new girl would be downstairs in the Blue Room. The Nortons al- ways took their dancing sitting around hovering over glasses. The new girl— Could she be the sane girl Bart had been talking about? Of course she was! "She looks pretty so- cial," Bart had said. All at once, Christie felt a con- suming curiosity* to see the stranger who had put that special sound in Bart's voice and sent Tommy, the indifferent, on a raid of her evening bag. "Leave ane a lucky penny," Christie said, adding impulsively, "I may need it." The next moment, Bart had cut. in again. "In just two minutes, they're going to play Auld Lang Syne," he said. "Know what that means?" Yes, Christie knew what that meant. All the lights would go out. There would be that brief moment of darkness as the old year merged with the new. Then, they'd blaze on again. Boys would wipe lipstick from powder from btheirp ps and brush shoul- ders. Girls would smooth down their hair. And, then, there would be a mad dash to strip the bal- loons off the wall. They'd pop them all aver the place. But when Bart kissed her, it would be different. It would be a promise, a dedication. Dark- ness. His lips on tiers for one brief moment. Bright lights again, the orchestra striking -. Suddenly, the music stopped ab- ruptly. Then as quickly swung into "God Bless America." "Good tune," Bart said, as ehe dancing stopped. They standing now by the arch which separated the ballroom from the enclosed porch. Tommy and a girl were dancing on the dimly lighted porch. They danced past Christie and Bart and into the ballroom; and as though completely unaware. of the sensation they were caus- ing, double -stepped the martial rhythm with perfect timing. The girl wore a bright red frock, with a huge skirt that emphasized her slim waist. Her eyes were enormous and velvety black. Her hair was swept up in a high pom- padour. "Tommy's a fool," Bart said. "If this had been Europe, he would have been nrusheeds ffe f byy the military police. lucky he lives in America." "Tommy!" Christine echoed in- dignantly, "what about that girl? She should have brought some re- spect for this country when she came from Europe!" Bart spoke slowly, „I think it's rather unfair to judge a person so quickly." Christie's anger fell from her. "Perhaps it is," she said in a low tone. She had realized that not all her anger was directed against the new girl because of the exhi- bition. She disliked her because she was beautiful and dangerous —because Bart obviously didn't dislike her. Now, she was beating a retreat because Bart might be forced into open championship of the other girl. And I couldn't take that, she thought. "Are we crazy?" Bart was leading her away from the ball- room. "This is no way to start our new year." "It's just that everybody was looking at Tommy as though he were a traitor," Christie said. Her voice trembled a little. "Oh, now look here. Aren't you getting a little hysterical about the whole thing? Nobody is going to spoil this evening for me. Sit this out with me, Christie. I've something to tell you." Christie's personal sky was swept clear of storm clouds. She thought, as Bart piloted her to- ward the Palm Room: "It's silly to be this much in love" A look from Bart could lift her up or drop her down. Right now she was on top of the world. Bart had something to tell her! They had. reached the dim, secluded Palm Room; and Bart had caught her close to hint. "Christie, I had it all planned out—to ask you to marry nye. Dr. Atwell wants me to come in with him, as soon as I finish my in- terneship." THRIFTY BUYERS ASK FOR THEIR CHANGE... TABLE TALKS School Lunch Box Suggestions We hear much.out nutrition these days and how essential it is for our daily menus to fill out nutritive needs. And it is equally important for mothers to see that the contents of their childrens lunch boxes are also nutritious. Sinee sandwiches form a main part of the school lunch, their pre- paration is most important. Wholesome breads should be used for sandwiches, Graham, whole wheat, oatmeal, brown, raisin, and nut bread are excel- lent. Cold bran or whole wheat muffins or filled rolls are also tempting. Fillings of the sandwiches re- quire special preparation. Cheese, meat, eggs, nuts, dried fruits or vegetables should be put through the food chopper. Cream cheese, peanut butter and other compact substances should be thinned and cream. Ground meats, eggs, vegetables should be moistened with a small amount of salad dressing or cream and vinegar. Succulent vegetables should be provided, if possible. Finely chopped celery, lettuce, water cress or sliced tomato may be used alone or with cottage cheese. Jellies, jams and conserves make sweet sandwiches or a tiny jar of the fruited sweet may be tucked pnto the lease lunch don't forget Aox. nd please to in - elude a thermos container of milk. and some kind of fresh fruit — such as an apple, pear, orange, banana, etc. Care should be taken in the packing of the lunch. All foods not in containers should be be- fore wrap- ped separately in waxed paper being placed in the box. The neatly wrapped articles should be placed, so far as is possible, in the order in which the food will be eaten, so that those found first may be eaten first without dis- turbing the remainder. The heavi- est foods, however, should be plac- ed at the bottom. Select a lunch box that can be kept clean. Lunch boxes should be washed, scalded and aired daily. Those made of light -weight metal are best. Many atractive boxes are now made with a vac- uum bottle which fits the box. These are highly desirable. A lunch box should not be ail -tight, as a circulation of air prevents the mingling of odors. Paper napkins and cups are es- sential lunch box accessories. * Tonuny had cone up. "Hello," he greeted them. "Where did I lose you, Sandra? One minute you, were standing by me and the next you were the little girl who wasn't there. You haven't forgot- ten we are leaving at intermis- sion?" "I only forget things I don't want to remember," Sandra re- plied. She turned to Christie. "I'm glad I met you," she said. "I wanted to see what you were like." "I hope I haven't disappointed you," Christie said sweetly. "Not at all," the other girl an- swered. "I think I knew exactly what you would be like." Only her smile robbed the words of malice, and Christie had the feel- ing that the smile was for Bart's benefit. She waited until Sandra and Tommy had left the room. Then, she turned to Bart. "She knew— about your plans for joining up. About me!" "What's wrong with that?" Bart was looking at her in aston- ishment. "We were on the train several hours together. It was natural to discuss things we were interested in. She's a direct young person, and. she asked if there was a girl at the end of the line. I said there was. Then, we got to talking about the war, and she found out it was the air end of it for me." She could see that he was wait- ing, half bewildered, for her re- ply. She must put this hurt back of her. Men didn't think about things the way women did. "Does that clear things up?" Bart asked, Christie nodded. She loved him — the war, and her country's emergency — these were the big concerns. She would not let Sandra or anyone or anything undermine her happiness. Only she hoped she wouldn't run into her again. (Continued Next Week) P e 0 SA STM'` IN s Get them from. your Grocer.

(By Wm, Henry Chamberlin in Harper's Magazine) Both physically and psychologi- cally the Russians are a tough, re- silient people. I was visting a; Cossack vilage in the Kuban re- gion of southeastern Russia in the autumn of 1933. It was the after- math of a great famine. In the first house which I entered there was an old woman, her daughter and the latter's newly born baby. The daughter's brother, his wife and five children died of hunger. But this young woman herself was full of energy and will to live. She had borne a child in this ter- rible year. And she had gone back to .work in the collective farm as soon as possible after giving birth, The toll of death in this famine was staggering. It alight have been a mortal blow to a western country with a stationary or de- clining birthrate. But in Russia, as in China, the progress of re- covery from such a natural catas- trophe as war or famine is amaz- ingly swift. Willing To Sacrifice One can imagine how much this quality of toughness has been cul- tivated since 1914. Russia has lived through two major foreign wars, a violent social revolution, a ferocious civil war, and two dis- astrous famines: A. people to whom death, sometimes in very horrible forms, has become so familiar would not shrinkfrom any sacrifice in a struggle or national survival.
