THE BALTIC STATES
The move into the Baltic states

Francie was looking her best In
blue. She had brushed her amber
hair to q high-lustered perfection,
Her brown eyes were big with ex-
element, her cheeks and lips
freshly vivid.
The young men stared In bolo
admiration. With grin he said,
Maybe I'll walt, after ALL"
He took the empty chair next to
Francie and lit q cigaret. From the
corner Of her eye Francie saw that
he had lovely red-gold hair like
Jerry Finney. She tried to appear
disinterested, but she could feel the
sudden hammer Of her pulses.
Been waiting long?" he asked,
Having been taught to beware
Of Washers, Francie made her
voice properly cold: "oh, not long
long"
I'm ease you In ahead of thest
other yokels," he said. "Koony
ought TO be shot keeping a beau.
tiful creature like you waiting"
Francie didn't know what to
say. She could feel hot color
sweeping into her face. without
looking at him, she said sedately,
"That won't be necessary, thank
you. Mr.. Koon and are old
friends"
"Just like that" he laughed, un.
abashedly twisting around to get
a better look at her. Say, anyone
ever tell you you're darn photo

The word baflled Francie. "N-no."

any Of this high-polish stuff like
the makeup men dish out. You're

Francie could see the faint dust
Of freckles across his nose. I'll
bet you're not from Hollywood"
Francie struggled internally. She
had never been talked to like this
before. In o vague sort OF way she
recognized 1t as flattery. But the
words had such lovely sound. She
wanted to hear more. She adored
the young mans voice. It had q
faint Irish lit that reminded her
Of Jerry Finney's voice.
"Okay, II you want II proper" the
young man said. "Well make Koony

"Come on"
