Her ash blond hair fell in a long
bob to her shoulders and curled in
ringlets at the ends. Her height he
guessed at five feet four, or per-
haps five.

Her features, while slightly ir-
regular, were not unattractive.
He liked the firm set of her jaw,
her small mouth and her wide set

Hendon and Rayburn what his
agents had reported.

saying, may l present Major Bar

of our factory, although not on
our payroll. He is an army officer,
as you might guess from his title
an officer of the air force.
Hes in direct charge of the
production of the work we are
doing for the Army Air Service.
He has something to take up with

approval. And now, If you'll ex-
cuse me-"
Hendon bowed slightly. and left
the room. followed by Rayburn.
Ellen turned to Major Barringer
and smiled.

sir. and at least know you by

wrought nerves of all parties. The
elopement Is an effective shortcut.
But il must be remembered that
there is reason for the ceremony
connected with getting married.
Almost all people in every part of
the world insist on certain for
mslities for the bride and BRIDE
groom. Although some states mot
Washington recognize common
law" msrrisges-that is. the legal
married status of men and women
who live together is recognized
whether or not they have gone
through the formslities Of a mar
riage eeremony-there are many
psychological reasons for q real
wedding.
Girls are taught TO look forward
to their wedding day. and taught
so thoroughly that most brides
insist on some degree of formslity
lest they feel cheated in later life.
The wedding ceremony repre-
sents an emotional crisis in the life
Of the individual. and its rather
rigid procedure seems to satisfy
the desire OF the individual for an
outlet in ritual.
Many men make the mistake Of
discounting the brides desire for
an elaborate wedding. In many
cases that desire is so deep-sested
that If omitted IL may cast an
unhappy shadow over the first few
months of marriage.

Mice girl" he commented. He
turned to Hendon. You know she's
directly in charge of the blueprint
files. It's her job to see that every
thing is put under lock and key
every night before she goes home
Hendon, who prided himself on
knowing everybody on his payroll,
nodded.

choice, Major" he said. But how
on earth, out OF the hundred and
ten girls working in the plant. did
you happen to center on her?

Hendon buzzed for his secretary
and gave the necessary instruc-
tons.
Naturally, I didn't make my
selection at random. It's too i'm
portant. The fact that she is al
ready associated with Leslie, mace
her logical candidate. Ever since
we had our first report that plans
were getting out, I've been having
various persons in the plant
checked.
"I went into Miss Anvers' back

That's right" Rayburn put in
"She was in the main office for

"Only thing I can suggest is
that you keep a close eye on those

answered. Major Barringer studied
her closely and nodded with satis-

Hendon's friendly offer. Her eyes

ment with additional cubicle dress
ing room and small kitchen. I
have a friend who spends most Of
her time travelling from one place
to another. visiting her many
friends. She has private in
come and no alI-the-time job. ]
like having her when my time
comes. but I don't like having her
string out her visit from a long
weekend to three weeks. which
is what generally happens. But
feel helpless TO do anything but
suffer as pleasantly as I know
how. although by the end Of her
visit the situation becomes ex-
ceedingly strained. When she
writes that she would like to come,
what can I do so she will not stay
indefinitely Understand. I like
having her for weekend or even
day or two over that time, but
more than that interferes too
much with my regular routine.
Answer: / seems to me that you
have choice of only two situa-
tons. They are either to put up
with three weeks inconvenience
for the pleasure OF three days
enjoyment. or to give up having
anyone stay with you, ever. BY
this I mean that you would have
to take away the extra bed in the
wall, and turn the space into linen
or book shelves, or whatever else
would be most useful to you, but
that could not be taken out and
changed at the prospect of a
guest. II you did this it would
also be necessary to avoid having
a sofa that could be used as a bed.
Then when she or any other would
be visitor suggests coming, you
can only say that in order to
make yourself more comfortable,
you had to give up having anyone
stay in your apartment. But that
you hope to see almost as much
of her rs though she were visiting
you. l agree that this advice
sounds drastic! But it seems to
me that there is no halfway
measure in your case, or in any
other like it.
Husbands and Wives Together?
Dear Mrs. Post: Are husbands
and wives seated together at a
speakers table?
Answer: Husbands and wives
of the speakers are invited to sit
at the speakers table if there are
places to include them. But they
should not be seated next to each
other either on this occasion or at
any other dinner.
Organ Music at a Marriagee
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it unsuita BILE
to have organ music playing softly
at my wedding, which will actu-
ally be only a marriage ceremony
in the presence of the immediate
families and a few others. l am
wearing ordinary day clothes,
having only one attendant, SINH
larly dressed; and there will not
even be anyone to give me away.
Answer: 1t is always lovely to
have organ music at wedding of
no matter what size.

Too much interference Of par

they dislike hurting the feelings

am repeating this to prove that
wherever we 60 we find both good
and bad. When people make
sweeping statements about either
boys or girls I feel slightly weary.
/ have met fine ones of both sexes.
I have seen boys and girls give up
their seats to elderly people and
have seen both boys and girls shove
and push in order to get 4 seat
first.
Yesterday I couldn't help but
notice two women on a bus. They
were no different. One was a
grouchy, impudent and thought
less 'Smally" who sat down in a
seat and stuck her elbow out 40
no one could sit beside her. Soon
another little woman got on, but
what a difference In women, She
had 4 twinkle in her eye as though
she and the world had a private
joke. She sat down next to the
first Smally. or rather she strue-
gled to maintain her balance on
the edge of the seat.
The Erouehy woman finally
started to get off and pushed the
bell once for the back door. When
the driver opened the front door
she called out sngrily, "Off please"
and raped at the back door. He
said. Two bells for the rear door,

Guess you can see want out"
Now that woman could have
been in . much happier state Of
mind when she got home II she had
made an effort to be pleasant and
kindly. And so l say II each OF
us would remember that the other
fellow H. human and entitled to
common courtesy, we would find
much more happiness and JOY in
living.

the other day. She got on the bus
and looked tired but she still had
the twinkle In her eye.

Nail Biting
Dear Miss Grey: In answer TO
the article by bad Habit" I have
the following suggestion. 1t cured
me of finger nail biting IL years
ago and I also stopped my two
small children by the same method
The method Ia just this, bad
Habit:
Every time you bite your nails
you are eating every kind Of germ
there ia. Finger nails are collectors
OF all kinds Of dirt and germs. and
taking such dirt and germs into
your mouth should be enough to
make a person lose any meal eaten.
So, Bad Habit" from now on,
whenever you put your hands near
or in your mouth just remember
that you are sucking PLENTY Of
germs into your system.

ton. In II necessary for me to

man people are going to rise overnight
boot out the beloved Fuehrer and estab-
hsh saner form of government. But
they are harboring delusions. The Ger
man people are solidly behind their
glorified egoist leader.
The way the people of Germany have
surrendered to the edicts of this arbitrary
ruler is nothing short of marvel. How
he has managed to keep all ranks and
classes subservient and in line with his
policies is admittedly a question that
even learned students of human nature
and behavorism have been unable to
fathom. But the important point is that
Hitler does hold the poWer-he does have
the German people in the hollow of his
hand, and so long as he sits in the drivers
seat and wields the whip, just so long
are Americans wasting their time hoping
some sudden upheaval will destroy the
menace Of Hitlerism.
Another example of this wishful
thought is our way of telling ourselves
that whatever happens in Europe need
not concern us, that even though Europe
blows itself off the map We can still 90
on living in our smooth, isolationist shell,
peacefully, prosperously, and self -sufici-
emily.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth.
Suppose Hitler and Stain and Musso-
lni should band together in the struggle
and come out on top? What would be
the effect on our economic status? You
can rest assured it would be nothing
pleasant to contemplate.
1t would mean that the United States
would be totally cut off from dealing
with any other nation, and that not only
the United States but the whole world
would suffer form of economic turmoil.
The inescapable fact is that the pros
perity of this country is largely trace
able to our foreign trade. Take that
away and it will become absolutely neces-
sary to revolutionize our entire domestic
economy.
The economic destiny of this country
Is very closely tied in with what Hitler
and Stain and Mussolini do in their
respective pastures across the water.
We might ignore their actions. But
we cannot ignore the result, wishing or
no wishing. JOSEPH AMBROSE.
