Afterward, while the ladies

Mr.. Thompson. they had to
listen. Even Fred, who had in

TO the dinner, contributed moth

profound head wag in the right
spots.
It's a war OF trade" said
Mr.. Thompson pontifically. "All
wars are economic. Germany
must have markets. She can't
get them legitimately, so she
fights. In the final analysis,
England will win. But only
after a hard, tough struggle.

Thompson went on, "she won't

Well have all the dough, and

Then, around 1870, they'll be

That interruption broke the

nettled, and he couldn't be
coaxed into talking further
about himself. The women
seemed tired, and yawned at one
another. The men reluctantly
drank their drinks, and made
passes about going home.
And thus, after awhile, they
left. Fred saw them to the door.

BY this time, the women had
dried the dishes and now sat
quietly around the fringe of
