By MARY PADGETT

"To put peaCe into politics"
On the slogan Of the Women's
International League for Peace
and Freedom.
At present the league is most
actively interested in the Senate
investigation Of the munitions
industry, which was started
largely through the efforts Of
the league.
Senate hearings on this in.
veStigation will be resumed
November 20, and the league
believes the outcome of the in
Vestigation will make it possible
for the Government to regulate
and supervise the manufacture,
sale and shipment Of munitions.
The league already has
started it's campaign to elect
members to Congress that will
support its peace measures. It
Is now campaigning its hardest
before the November 8 elections.
Four young women, making
up the flying squadron" have
been sent out to all sections of
the United States by the league.
They are to cover the country in
six weeks and are organizing
State and district congressional
committees for peace action
and taking the facts of the
Senate munitions investigation
to the voters Of the country.
They will also find out whether
or not certain candidates are
going to be in favor Of peace
measures.
The campaign is under the
direction Of Miss Mabel Vernon,
national campaign director, who
attended the leagues confer
ence in Zurich, Switzerland,
two weeks ago. At that con-
ference it was voted to work for
investigation Of munitions in
all countries in which the league
Is organized.
Miss Louise Wier, acting cam
paign director in Miss Vernon's
absence, said today:
ut has been shown by this
investigation that munitions
makers have worked for bigger
appropriations for armament,
and the league believes that fol-
lowing this disclosure it will not
be 50 easy for munitions makers
to secure tremendous armament
appropriations as it has been in
the past.
"After the elections the league
will work for . measure forbid
ding loans and credits to nations
involved in armed conflict. They
will also work for an embargo
On arms and against increased
appropriations for armament
and continue its support Of the
munitions Investigations"
The league has a representa-.
ton of about $4,000 members,
with a tremendously wide fol-
lowing. When the World Dis
armament Conference opened,
100000 signatures to a petit
ton for disarmament were pre-
Sented by women's organizations,
youth, labor, religious groups,
etc., and Of that number the
league had gathered 100000
signatures.
Miss Hannah Clothier Hull, of
Swarthmore, Pa, is the national
chairman, while the interna-
tional president is Miss Jane
Adams, of Hull House, Chicago.

for breakfast Ann thought grimly that
today she was going to have it out with
Kent. She steeled herself as he sat down
at the table helped himself to the sugar
and looked about for the cream.
mo cream" said Ann.
He took piece of toast and picked up
his knife.
mo butter" said Ann.
He laid the knife down and whistled
softly
Il just remembered the date" he said.
"What are we having for dinner?"
Suddenly Ann felt herself going to
pieces. She grasped at the flying rem
nants of her reason, but without avail.
Maybe it was she who had wanted to
make a show in front of a man who
was nothing but good time pal Maybe
it was she who She blinked back
the tears.
"Oh, Kent" she said, "this is SO
foolish"
Kent pushed back his chair from the
table whats foolish?" he asked
ominously.
This she waved a hand over the
table, "This-when we could 20 back
home and live like-like decent people"
For a moment she wondered what she
had said that made his face 60 so white
and queer.
so that's the way you feel" he said.
AS THE door slammed upon him Ann
experienced momentary pang of
regret. She felt frightened. Gradually,
however, the frightened feeling left her.
Righteous wrath rose in its place. She
picked up kettle that had been too long
on the fire, and all the torture of her
mind was suddenly CONCEALED in the
agony of her hand. Instinctively she
turned toward the sink and as she did
so her arm hit the potted geranium.
Darn" said Ann. Gritting her teeth
she picked up the offending plant and
carried it to the back porch.

/ENT received the wire from Los
- Angeles at noon. That night Ann
Jordan lowered a suit case care
fully from Second-story window
before going shakily down the
stairs to meet him.
Four hours later they were married
Just across the Nevada line by sleepy
Justice of the peace. Next morning they
turned the battered coupe toward Los
Angeles.
What kind of house do you want,
Mrs. Taylor?" asked Kent.
"A white one" she said, her fears dis
PEELED by the fresh beauty Of the Spring
morning. "A little one with ruff1y cur
tains at the windows and roses in the
garden and a red geranium on the
kitchen sill"
You shall have it, Mrs. Taylor, prom
ised Kent. He wasn't cocky. He was
merely young and confident. He hadn't
liked the idea Of going to work for AIMS
father The little house in the shadow
of the Jordan's Lakehurst mansion had
pleased him even less. He had put it
up to Ann.
Honey" he said, IF you want to 60
right on being Ann Jordan after we're
married, we'll stay here. But if you
want to be Mrs. Kent Taylor, I'll wire
that company Bob was telling me about"
Ann hadn't been hard to convince.
She wished Kent had gotten the job
sooner and that Camilla Jordan hadn't
already started on her trOuSSeau, not
to mention buying furniture. ReSo-
lutely she avoided thinking of her father.
Twenty-Five years ago Randall Jordan,
then an impecunious young man of "a.
had eloped with Camilla Montgomery,
daughter of the towns wealthieSt citi-
zen. But Ann had feeling that his only
daughter eloping with Kent Taylor would
be quite different matter and Randall
Jordan would have lusty manner Of de-
scribing such deception.
THE first day in Los Angeles they found
the white bungalow with the roses in
the garden. The second day Kent went
to work at Silverwood's, the largest de-
partment store in the city. He came
home in the evening bursting with things
to tell.
Don't worry" he Informed Ann with
bit of swagger. They'll never be able
to do without me again. Give me 10
years and I'll own the joint"
'Of course you will" Ann agreed, and
believed it.
When they had been married month
Kent brought her an anniversary pres
ent, red geranium in red pot. Sit
ting on a stool, blissfully munching a
cookie he directed the placing of it on
the kitchen sill.
THAT, madam" he said, sis no longer
geranium. It's mascot for our mat
rimonial adventure"
When cooking had become less of
mystery to her Ann had more time to
do other things. She pruned the roses,
looking like flower herself, and, because
Kent wanted her to, she did the banking.
There was a sizable account in her
maiden name at the bank at LakehurSt.
but she didn't need it. When she
thought of Lakehurst now it was with
slight feeling of condescension. Her
father and mother hadn't answered her
letter. The thought of their anger didn't
frighten Ann any more. She could even
feel little sorry for them because they
had forgotten what it was to love until
nothing else mattered.
Days passed swiftly, golden days.
gradually lengthening. 1t was Midsum-
mer. Ann sang one evening as she re-
arranged the flowers on the table. At

the sound of the coupe In the driveway
she ran to the back door. Kent came
from the garage slowly. His face looked
pale beneath his thatch of black hair.
Ann thought compassionately that he
was working too hard.
You're late" she accused him.
He stood for moment in the doorway.
just looking at her.
Il was in conference with the boss"
he told her.
Il suppose he made you vice president"
smiled Ann. She was wondering If he
would remember 1t was just six months
ago tonight that they we're married. Six
months -Kent's voice broke into her
reverie.
Ann, how much money have we got
in the bank?"
He did remember!
How much do you want?" she coun-
tered lightly.
Enough" he said thickly, Ito see us
through if take lengthy vacation"
Why Kent" she was suddenly appre-
hensive.
Probably it was the sympathy in her
voice that did it for his head sank into
his arms Instantly Ann was beside him.
Kent, honey" she whispered.
For a moment there was no sound but
that of his sharp, painful drawing in Of
breath. And then his voice came, ragged
and tense, fraught with the realization
of his failure and sudden, newborn
humility.
"Ann-Ann-I'm just a crazy brag-
gart. Always trying to let other people
know how smart I am. Well, this time
I was too darn smart"
DIT by bit she got the story. 1t wasn't
as bad as she had at first imagined.
Mr. Sherwood was sorry but he had
thought Kent understood that the job
was only temporary.
Over omelet and coffee next morning
Kent outlined his plans for the day. He
was going to see King Lakely and give
him few tips that would enable him to
put it all over Silverwood's.
Poor advertising. That's what's the
matter with Lakely's," he told her.
They'll be glad to give me an interest
in the business after they've listened to
me-"
When he was gone Ann washed the
dishes and baked an apple pie. 1t came
out of the oven golden-brown and faxed.
She humn1ed as she placed it on the
window sill. And then she noticed the
geranium Undoubtedly it dropped. The
sight disturbed her even though she
knew it was only the Summer heat that
had done it.
Summer passed in haze Of heat and
dust and dying leaves. Kent got two
weeks work in an uptown store and sew
eral promises to keep him in mind. He
carried his swagger with him now like
cloak and developed parsimonious hab-
its-leaving the coupe at home and tax
ing a sandwich in his pocket. Ann was
grateful that he let her handle the bank
account Occasionally she padded it
little with money she had had before
they were married. But she didn't tell
Kent.
He came home early one day to find
Ann and the coupe gone. He was sit
ting on the steps when she drove in.
What are you doing driving the carp"
he asked shortly. Don't you know it
costs money!"
Ann was SO surprised that she almost
dropped her packages.
But only went to the market" she
stammered.
"It's not far" he rasped. "You could
have walked"
Evening star., 1934-11-25

Ann grasped the bundles little tight
er to steady herself. The angry pallor
of Kent's face slowly turned to red
and sheepishness His eyes wavered.
"I'll put the car in the garage" he said.
Ann carried her packages into the
house, her cheeks flaming with hurt and
resentment. Perhaps Kent thought it
was fun for her staying at home, scrimp-
ing and saving. Perhaps he thought
she liked to. Almost Historically she
stopped herself Nothing had really
happened. Kent was tired and diScour-
aged and he hadn't meant what he said.
Already he was sorry.
A few days later Kent called her on a
friendly neighbor's phone. His voice
was eager and excited.
Listen, honey" he fairly shouted,
shave we got enough money to put on
feed tonight?'
"A what?" asked Ann.
"A feed,' said Kent. ITS this way.
I've just met Jim Lakely, an old frater-
nity pal of mine, and guess what? He's
son of King Lakely! I'd like to bring
him out tonight because-well, you never
can tell"
I'M LAKELY proved to be an engaging
young man with debonair manner.
Ann found herself liking him. liking, too,
the sight of Kent's face smiling natu-
rally, beaming as he reminisced with
Jim Lakely.
II just got back from Paris two days
ago." Jim Lakely was saying. I'm an
awful disappointment to dad. He wants
me to settle down and learn the busi-
ness"
why not?" Ann tried to say it casually.
"Kent says Lakely's is the best DEPART
ment store in town. All but the adver-
tising"
Kent would notice the advertising" he
said. LAS remember, he used to fritter
away most of his time with such things.
What have you been doing for yourself
lately, Kent?"
Il was showing Silverwood's how to
advertise until they got so good they
didn't need me-" he said.
Jim Lakely laughed. "Ill tell dad what
you said. If could sell him on you
maybe he'd let me alone"
Kent blinked solemn eye at him.
Il should be very glad to be a son to
your father" he said.
Long after Kent was asleep that night
Ann lay awake, her shoulder against
his. She wondered If he had noticed the
calendar. This was Monday-no, it was
Tuesday now, she thought, and Thurs
day was Thanksgiving. She had dreaded
Thanksgiving this year, but it didn't
matter now. Jim Lakely was going to
call them Wednesday,
Wednesday the rain that fell so stead
lily outside had become something of an
i'll omen for their disappearing
hopes.
Its a good thing we had plenty Of
leftovers," said Ann at noon. YeSter-
days stew had become today's hash.
She laughed, but the laugh was sud-
denly without humor
BY o'clock the rain had Stacked a
little.
Ann" The lines about Kent's mouth
were grim Ann, think I'll 60 uptown
for WHILE
He got his hat and started out the door
and then as if he had just remembered
something he turned back
IF any calls come for me, Ann" he
said, take the message"
But no calls came.
Next morning the world turned wet,
glistening cheek to smiling sun. As
she cut stale bread and laid out plates
