The signals of a new town were
waving in the dining room. The ma

shirt sleeves and unblushing suspend

by men in khaki; the desert soldiers,
engineers. The full blown mattresses,
deliberately pompadoured, were push
ing through the swing-doors, carrying
heavy trays. Coquetry appeared to be
their occupation. rather than meal
serving, the diners accepting both varie-
ties of attention with appreciation. The
supremacy of those superior maidens
was menaced only by two other wom-
en- who sat at a table near the door.
Richard did not see them at first. The
room was as masculine as q restaurant

Richard left his indoor view to look
through the French windows opening
on a side street. He noticed slender
but regular procession. All the men

flashed a finished, brave little smile in
his direction. The sisters bow was
distinctly naughty.
