WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-LP-
Unlike many who have expressed
their views on means OF attaining
parity between all branches Of the
British and American navies, Chair
man Borah Of the senate foreign re-
lations committee apparently would
rather see British scrapping Of
ships than American building or &
combination of the two.

Her voice went on. But Chatty
was only half listening TO her
Her eyes were fixed on the dark
ness outside the rain-sDotted win
dows. And beyond that darkness
she was seeing Dave Jordan and
the girl he had bought all those
flowers for on Easter Saturday
Perhaps she was a girl who had
lots Of money. the kind Of girl he
would have to marry-unless he
waited for years and years.
"Of course, some bond statesmen
make scads of money" Billie was
saying. But those kids have only
been out Of college for three or
four year5-Dave Jordan AMI
George. They make Just about
enough to keep themselves going
Chatty nodded nc her. She felt
sick to her very marrow bones.
That's why I feel all right about
going places with George" Billie's
voice ran on. 4 know he'll never

She's crazy about him. She

The next night was Saturday.

they called their weekly spree"
There was a man Just ahead OF

was a girl-a small, blonde girl.

He saw her. too, and he gave 4

Continued FROM rage %
the whole story of her feeling for
him was written on her face.
Billie gave her a long and
thoughtful look.
Chat she said. Il told you not
to do 1t. and you've done IL any
way. You've fallen for Dave Jor-
dan, haven't you?"
Some girls never tell any other
girl or woman how much they may
happen to care for a man. They
keep all their love folded in their
hearts.
But Chatty was not made that
way. 1t was a relief TO her to tell
Billie ell about it.
I'm crazy about him." she said.
And why shouldn't I be? Why
should you tell me not to be. Bill
lie? You're crazy about George
Mayhem"
Yes. but that's different" Bill
lie answered quietly.
How is it different?"
Billie walked over to the door
that led out on the landing, and
closed it. She kicked off the heel
less rubbers she wore. and Drop
ped them into the old-fashioned
China umbrella stand that stood in
the little hall.
Sarah isn't coming home for
dinner. This is the night she takes
her swimming lessons" she said.
Tell your mother you're going to
eat III here with me, Chat. Wen
have some cinnamon toast and
stuffed tomatoes and tea-and we'll
take her in a tray so she won't have
to get her own dinner"
When Chatty came back she had
put on a frilly house dress Of faded
blue cotton which was more becom-
ing 10 her than any Of her smart
looking office dresses and she was
setting the table in the dining
room.
Tn going to tell you something.
U / want you to promise lever
10 tell 1t to anyonei" she said, when
she had taken a tray Of food across
the hall to Mrs. Chatterton, and
was pouring the tea for herself
and Chatty. Sarah told you part of
1t when she told you I'd been mar
ried."
Chatty's eyes opened wide, and
her lips parted ... This was going

She leaned forward IN her chair.
I'm still married." Billie startled
her by saying. suddenly. Now.
what do you think of that?"
Chatty didn't know what To
think. She sat back and looked at
Billie with narrowed eyes.
what was Billie doing-running
around with George Mayhem when
she had a husband with whom she
did not live? And why didn't she
live with him? And why was
she working to make her own liv-
ing? 49,. With o husband who could
buy her solid silver and baby
grand pianos. surely Billy did not
have to work.
Where's your husband?"
In New York" Billie answered
frankly. Il left him and thought
he'd divorce me. perhapS-but he
doesn't. And I haven't a thing in
the world against him except that
I don't love him"
She dropped a lump Of sugar into
her cup.

why did you tell me all this?
What has it to do with me and
