When Natalie entered Belgrade she was

Married life soon was bcset by troubles.

Although the stars in the Athen-
ian night sky hang low and bright
they are not enough for raiding
these days. Should the British be
able to hold the mechanical Ger
man attack along the Euvoion Gulf
a week longer the unforgettable
spectacle of moonlight raids will
begin anew. No one who has even
seen one can forget it. The night
is like one vast black photographers

for the moon goddess, seems more
brightly lit when Athenas is riding

the bulbs, Illuminated by British

from a thousand windows and

Before the first German is audible
in the natural sounding board of the
surrounding Athenian hills, the siren
sends the cautious to cellars and the
curious to roofs. One searchlight

like one of those gnats whose wings

he sometimes goes into a dive in

Engine Silence Shows Fate.
But since raids are usually made
by individual planes the cessation
of the sound of the engine tells its
own story.
Perhaps the most fascinating
sight is when a cofnered pilot per-
