to her. now. it wouldn't be, of
course. There was something a
little ludicrous in imagining that
slim, Shimmering, ice-cold young
person who had left him few
hours before being interested in
a place in the country and a
baby or two.
Kipp stopped laughing and
walked on, his mouth and eyes
grim, toward that flat on Twelfth
Street where a small tender ghost
in a gray wool dress with pat
ent leather belt and ruffled dark
hair was waiting for him would
always be waiting for him.
&&*
From where she stood at high
window Ann could see a distant
clock. The clock said it was a
quarter to two. Besides the clock,
she could see a narrow strip of
Star-dusted sky cut by the lighted
windows of the tall apartment
houses of Central Park West. It
was hard to tell, she decided,
where the stars stopped and
lighted windows began. They all
blurred and blended into one ex-
panse of black velvet cut by those
golden, twingling lights 80. only
the stars were the smaller DINNER
lights, of course e.
Ann lifted one hand and pushed
her dark bangs back from her eyes
and wondered little indifferently
why she had come here and tried
to remember all the other places
she had been during the evening.
There had been so many of them.
Bright, noisy places. Quiet, dim
places. Places where there had
been orchestras and places where
there had been merely a man or
a girl singing. But in all of them,
there had been pale drinks in tall
glasses. She had been. she re-
membered, in a good many taXiS
and had gone up and down good
many stairs and in and out of
good many doors .grilled doors
that swung open noiSeleSSly, night
club doors guarded by pompouS
doormen. and now she was here
in this room and it was quarter
to two in the morning.
She knew if she turned her
head she would see Lewis stand
ing in a doorway tying the belt of
dressing gown about his waist.
She remembered that six weeks
ago she had stood at a window
and seen Kipp doing the same
thing only his hair. had been
wet and shining and very black.
LewiS's would be shining, too. E.
but it would not be wet. It would
be very golden and he would be
smiling a little. just as he had
been smiling all the evening. And
his eyes would be very blue. not
that chilled, ice blue that they
usually were but a hot, smolder.
ing blue as if there were little
flames dancing in Them.
CHAPTER So
She turned and Lewis stood
there just as she knew he would.
He said: "You don't mind, do
you? It's more comfortable. -?
He meant, did she mind that he
had put on that dark blue silk
dressing gown?
She said: mo, I don't mind"
and smiled at him. She didn't.
She didn't think she was going to
mind anything very much. at
least not for long time. But she
was grateful to Lewis and so
she smiled at him. He had been
very patient with her all the
evening. very kind to her. He
had taken her to a lot of anus
ing, expensive places and bought
her a good many tall, cold drinks
and now he had brought her here
to his apartment.

Ann was at the telephone. .Sne
was saying "Hello!" She was say
ing: ''Tell him I'll be down i'm
mediately, please"
Kipp waited until she put the
receiver down. Then he said: Il
don't like the way that dress
makes you look, Ann. =. I don't
like your eyes made up like that
.. or your mouth. -"
"Don't you?" Ann smiled at
him mockingly from beneath dark
lashes. That's funny. That's
awfully funny. Francine wears
clothes like this. And makes up
her mouth. ="
For Lords sake" cried Kipp
angrily, 'leave Francine out Of
this, can't you?"
mo-" said Ann, 81 can't"
She reached for o velvet coat,
slid her arms into it and began
pulling on long black velvet
gloves. her heart was pounding
horribly but her hands were quite
steady.
"See here" said Kipp, and he
crossed the room and stood in
front of her, and laid his hands
roughly on her shoulders, you
can't walk out on me like this.
You can't do It'll"
why not?" Her voice was ex-
quisitely soft, and cold as ice.
"If I remember correctly you
walked out on me once. and
you've been six weeks coming
back. ="
Listen, Ann" Kipp's voice wa
completely drained of emotion,
his hands on her shoulders were
hard and Furnishing. IF you leave

stand? You can't come back to
me. Not in six weeks. no5 ever.
Ann. Do you understand"
Get out of my way" said Ann,
her face deathly white, her mouth
still smiling at him rigidiy. Get
out Of my way. and stay out of
my way"
His hands fell away from her
arms. She walked past him and
across the room and out the door.
Kipp had been sitting there for
a long time. The clock in the
Metropolitan tower chimed 10
times. Madison Square lay shad-
owy and serene in the cold, faint
moonlight. People passed him &C.
casionally, their coat collars
turned up against a sharp night
wind. A newspaper swirled and
tapped around a bench opposite
him, a few feet away a man
stopped and lighted a cigarette,
pulled his hat lower over his eyes
and moved on.
Kipp got up and turned south
toward Twelfth Street. He walked
with his eyes staring straight
ahead, his hands thrust into his
coat pockets. Once he laughed
shortly he was remembering
that he had not told Ann about
Mason and Howard taking his
book; neither had he told her
that his job with Stems and Bart
well was to be permanent.
Not that either piece of infor-
nation would be of any interest

u. S. Far Behind
In Aviation

To the Editor of The Times:
It Is a known fact that our
Army and Navy aviation is in
adequate. why shouldn't we. the
richest nation in the world and
one Of the most intelligent, have
an aviation force capable Of de-
Tending our shores from an
enemy?
The japanese, for example,
have one Of the largest air
forces in the world-and mod
ern, too. Could that be said Of
the United States? 1 doubt it.
Most Of our fighting planes"
are really not fighting planes at
all, but antiquated and unstable.
I wonder what the United
States would do If Japan should
decide tomorrow to attack the
Philippines. Nothing much. And
with the Islands, Japan would
be close enough to our Pacific
coast to make us miserable.
The Federal Aviation Com.
mission report, which recently
went to Congress, asks for an
30 per cent increase in Army
The Washington times., 1935-02-05

for the huge stadium which
Washington was to receive? For
a time the papers were full Of
stories dealing with the pro-
posed stadium which would be
big enough to take care Of the
enormous crowds which are at
tracted to the Army-Navy game;
Of the proposal to make 1t a
model for others throughout the
country.
But now all Is quiet. Maybe
the whole thing has fallen
through, but if it is still a pos
sibility, this is the time when
support should be given it.
Rallying to the cause at this
time would be of much more
value than an offer Of help
after the matter has been
threshed out.
The stadium could be used for
other purposes than sports and
might even replace the Sylvan
Theater for that type OF enter
tainment.
The huge pageant, Liberty" I"
in the Philadelphia Sesqui-Cen'
tennial made good use Of q
stadium and Washington can
we'll use one and deserves the
best.

establish a public winter sports
arena, where we could enjoy
ice skating and ice hockey.
The recent 11-day period Of
cold weather has proven beyond
any shadow Of doubt that
Washington could support such
an establishment, whether it
be privately controlled or
operated by the Federal or
District Government.
Such an arena would cost
less than 100000 and would
be a worthy project to under.
take as part Of the Districts
new public works program. It
could certainly pay its con.
struction cost and show q
profit within a few years.
