TT WAS eight o'clock in the morning.
Dinah had placed a small table before
an eastern window and laid it with a
Il golden linen cloth and transparent blue
china dishes. Now she set a low bowl of
frosted fruit in its exact center, and bright
January sunshine slid through the sheer cur
tains at the window and fell over the bowl of
fruit and over Dinah's slim white hands and
betrayed the fact that her hands were trem-
bling ever so little.
In the kitchenette. coffee was measured
carefully into the percolator and eggs were
lying, already broken, in blue mixing bowl,
waiting to be beaten into golden batter.
Peter had passion for eggs anchovy - and
Peter was coming to breakfast.
After nearly year he was back in New
York and coming to breakfast Suddenly,
Dinah's hands, which had been trembling
ever so little. began to tremble violently.
She had known, of course, that some day
he would come back and that somewhere they
would meet. but she hadn't known that it
would be the night before at the Park Casino.
Yet that was exactly how it had happened.
She had been dancing with Bill Farnsworth
maculately clad shoulder and seen Peter

moment she had gone completely limp in
Bills arms then she had said. do my eyes
deceive me, or is that Peter1''
Bill had said: Good Lord! it is" Then he
had said. What do we do, Dinah1 Leave
Immediately or 60 over and embrace himl"
She had said. II think we 60 over and en-
brace him. That is, you embrace him and
say hello nonchalantly. After all. he is your
very best friend. and all he ever did to you
was 60 away quite suddenly without bother
ing to say goodby."
What, exactly" Bill asked. his arm firm
about her slim shoulders, did he do to your
Aside from marrying you and living with you
for six monthsl'
Precisely the same thing: He went away
suddenly. but he took the trouble to say
goodby. To be explicit, he said, 'Coodby,
Dinah. if never see you again, it will be too
soon.' then he went out and slammed the
door,"
Then they had danced across the room, and
stopped before Peters table. And she had
stepped out of Bills arms, a small girl in
swirling chiffon frock the color of sun
drenched nasturtiums and said: Hello, Peter.
Evening star., 1935-03-31

Bill said, looking decidedly uncomfortable,
that so far as he could see, it was; and Peter
had smiled at her little mockingly, and
accepted.
And now it was eight o'clock in the morning
and at any moment, he would be here.
The small banjo clock over the fireplace
struck eight clear notes and the door bell
rang three times. The color drained from her
cheeks, leaving her mouth softly, gaily
scarlet in her white face, and she walked
across the room and opened the door.
Peter said: Good morning, Dinah. It was
nice of you to ask me to breakfast" and
smiled at her gently and began peeling off
his gloves.
1T was nice of you to come" Dinah took
his hat and coat and offered him cigarettes.
I'VE have an hour and half before have
to be at the Office" Immediately she wished
she hadn't said just that because suddenly
he was looking at her with that hard. with
drawn look, the way he had always looked
at her when she mentioned the Office; before
that he had been looking at her quite diff
ferently, almost as if he were glad to be with
her again.
He said, now: Its nice of you to give
me an hour and half of your time, and
I'll see that you're not late getting to the
Office. In the meantime, sit down, and let me
look at YOU"
Dinah sat down. a small girl in gray wool
frock with a scarlet silk scarf "a small
girl with smoky gray eyes and soft scarlet
mouth. She sat down in wing chair and
crled her slim legs up beneath her and let

her breakfast guest light cigarette for her.
When he had done this, he smiled at her
and said, "You always managed to look par
ticulariy deceiving in gray frock, Dinah -
demWe and wistful. And you're neither the
one nor the other, really. Have you missed
me at all2"
Dinah tipped her dark head back against
the dull chintz of the wing chair.
Terribly" she admitted honestly, meet
ing his eyes levelly through drifting mist of
smoke.
That's nice" Peter nodded approvmgly.
That's as it should be. There would be
something altogether sad about two people
being married to each other for six months
and living together and then not missing
each other at all, something altogether sad,
don't you think1"
"Yes," said Dinah evenly, II suppose there
would be-
And she thought, II have found out what
had to know. He is completely over it. If
he wasn't, he couldn't sit there and say
things like that"
Even" persisted Peter, little mocking
points of light in his hazel eyes. when
the experiment turned out to be such mag
nifcent but entirely pleasant mistake. Be-
assured her gravely. "even though it raised
the deuce with my self-respect"
"Only because you refused to accept things
reasonably" Dinah was suddenly sitting up
very straight, her eyes and cheeks dam
gerously bright.
"Such things as having dinner with my
wife on alternate Thursday nights and seeing
her occasionally over the weekend -"
"As usual, you are exaggerating. You al
ways did. It was one of your most annoying
faults"
along with couple of dozen others. the
chief one being complete inability to make
lot of money"
That isn't fair! never minded your not
making a lot of money ="
mo. You never minded - much. Only
enough 50 that you worked night and day
at job that made you a lot" Peter was
grinning at her sarcastically.
If worked hard, it was only 50 we could
live decently." .
"A good many people we knew" Peter told
her bitterly. "were living decently on sixty
dollars week. was making seventy-five -"

plans could be offered from the floor
as amendments. The vote was IL
TO 9.
A special subcommittee recon-
/ mended the procedure as the only
method by which money for PEN

feat the bill.

Recipe for a Better Order.
(Kansas City Times.)

Hard as 1t is for some people to realize it to acquiesce in the movement, this country has travelled a long way from the selfish exploitation and ruthless sort of individualism that too often found in high places in the former Fully powerful as any official action has been the force of public sentiment that has swept the country along toward new and safer courses and has demanded the ception and exercise of greater social responsibility on the part of leaders in private industry
 That is the situation delineated with refreshing candor by Henry I. Hartman President of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. It cannot be said that MT. Hartman speaks for the entirety of so-caed big business as represented in his organization There are many doubtless who do not share his enlightened views. But they are indicative of a changing attitude that is whole some.
 There is seen continuance of government fin trusion" in business, which may be regretted. Yet it is the nature and not the fact of this kind of interference that is important. It does not necessarily the passing of individual nita- tive" and it should never mean the dead level of Socialism Communism or equality in the division of goods and services" Aside from all that there is a recognized place for "the proper CO., operation of business and government with results beneficial to all; for we more turn back the tides of economic and social movement than we can turn back the tides of the seas"
 If such a conception of the matter prevailed generally, if it penetrated the of govern ment well those of industrial management the working out of the country's problems would be easier, there would be less friction and clashing with their hurtful results and progress toward genuine recovery would be hastened.

AN INTRIGUING POSSIBILITY.

Some political alchemists who delight in mental p concocting possible political situations and their results are now mixing in their minds the ingredients that would bring about the induction of General Hugh Johnson into Oklahoma politics, wherein he would run against Senator Thomas P. Gore, whose term expires next year.
 Senator Cores has not endeared him, particularly, to the enthusiasts of the New Deal
 General Johnson has stoutly said that he has no political ambitions, that he is not candidate for any office However well known for his patriot ism, it is not beyond the realm of to believe that like the good soldier he s when drafted by his party, he would answer the call.
 Should these events transpire and the General go to the Senate, he would bring to that body his many gifts of real ability. Relieved of the strain of executive position such as he recently left, his boundless energy, and practicabity would un-

 The establishment of fast air service from Juneau to Nome and to interior points in Alaska has deeper significance than the passing of the slower methods of travel It is the forerunner of the time when the Northern Territory will be de- fended by adequate military force and by naval stations and aviation bases.
