"Tell your master that shall come
in ten minutes" she said, watched him
go and closed the door after him.
Then she turned and hurried to the
little mirror on the wall. She flushed
with anger as she looked at herself.
The excitement coupled with the heat
had made her forget her inappropriate
garb.
She rehung the looking glass and
looked around for implements of tot
let On the little table lay comb
and single military brush, looking
lonely without it's mate. There were
also a tin of powder, the common
sprinkler variety that men use, fresh
bottle of dental lotion and a sealed
box, proclaiming itself in loud type
the container of the only perfect
toothbrush.
"Not so bad" reflected Andrea, and
went to work to make the best Of what
was already one of Gods choicest
creations. But when she had finished
the wonderful result only angered
her. The incongruity of sitting down
thus CARRIED to an open-air camp din
ner at half past five in the afternoon
and face to face with a man in appro-
pirate khaki, outraged her very accu-
rate judgment as to what was fitting.
Suddenly she remembered her cloak.
She rushed to the door and called to
Bathtub. He came. on the run, re-
ceived her orders and moment later
fetched the all-concealing garment,
still warm from its sun bath. An
drea put 1t on, her bare shoulders
shrinking from its hot touch.
Beneath the acacia cleaned the
white table set for two. Near 1t sat
the man, nursing patience with ciga-
rette as is the way of the waiting
male. He arose as Andrea drew near
and threw his cigarette away. He was
clothed in the full dress of the trop-
ics-white mess jacket, black tie,
white waistcoat, black trousers, silk
hose and pumps. Clean shaver, hair
well brushed, he had dotted the rs
and crossed the It's of etiquette and
stood for six feet of the best brand
of unconscious gentleman.
Andrea stopped several PAGES away
and gazed at him. Her eyes filed sud-
denly with tears and her heart swelied
in the quick answer of the generous
to the thoughtful. She drew near and
said in voice that trembled slightly,
you are considerate In all-little
things"
She raised both hands to her throat,
unlocked her cloak and let 1t slip
from her shoulders. For an instant

though they took the measure of her
loneliness for the first time. They
travelled with. a flashing gaze from her
soft lair to her flushed cheeks. down
over her bare neck and into the faery

excuses but simply cannot make up
your mind which of them is best.
Don't let 1t worry you for an instant.

They know what this war game was.
They saw something of what the Hun

have something of an idea what he
would have tried to do for America
had he ever got over here
+ And they would like to know, doubt
less. just why any loyal American
will refuse to subscribe to the Victory
