BIG IDEA IS STOLEN
CHAPTER XVI

whats the matter with you,
Bee?" Vera asked, as Beatrice
rose from the table. Utterly"
There was such matter-of-fact
affection in her tone, such serene
absence of undercurrent, that
Beatrice knew at once she'd been
wrong. These girls had not the
faintest inkling of suspicion.
She must compose herself! She
went into the bedroom, taking
the tabloid with her. why don't
they see?" she asked herself.
There I am, and "she looked
into the mirror. There I am
again."
But something in the mirror
arrested her. She examined the
face on the front page.
1T is different"
She stared hungrily into the
mirror. I'm thinner, that's what
it is. I've lost that superior,
snobbish look. And-and I'm
not glamorous any more.
In the photograph, she had
been finished, assured, the gilt
tering product of q def hairdres-
ser's art, q superb masseuse, a
gifted modiste.
"And now, in this store dress,
with my hair all wrong and my
chin so pointed and circles un.
der my eyes now I'm just
another girl! I haven't had a
facial in weeks. I've used up my
expensive lipstick. I've given up
mascara, lashcream, freshener
pads when I lie down. :" Her
eyes smarted. i've changed. I'm
not me any more"
She knew q bewildering slap
of loss. Then she thought,
"Toby's right, its easy to be
beautiful when you have lots
OF money.
She understood now the savage
resentment of the girls in the
store against the well-fed, rested,
extensively furred customers
who swept through the main
floor. She understood why they
said, whats that dame got I
haven't?"
No, Toby and Vera had not
been blind, this morning. They
might have noticed some fleet
ing resemblance, but probably
even that was fantastic. When
you looked at Beatrice Hunting
ton Davenport's picture, you
simply didn't think of Bee Davis.
I'm Bee Davis. Just another
pretty, Woodworking girl. Any
girl"
.
She was very silent, going to
work with Toby. On the SUBJ

to catch . fugitive likeness in
the face of the girl cross the

She thought, "Of course Mr..
Weeming would recognize me
instantly. And Clarence. And

me after I'd been through some

The coat had been ermine.

After an hour or two, Budget
Fashions settled down to the
business of selling dresses. Bea-

her by the lease-lend bill and even in
spite of eventual American conveys.
In such an eventuality it will be es-
sential that the British government, and
especially the British Navy, should come
to the Western Hemisphere. 1t is gen.
orally believed that Prime Minister
Churchill has agreed that should the
worst happen, the British fleet would
come to this hemisphere to continue
the battle. But Mr.. Churchill may dis
appear or he may lose his grip on the
British nation in the event conditions
become much worse.
There is no saying what another gov
ernment may do and there is no saying
whether the British f1eet-well discip-
lined as it is-would wish to come as
refugee to these shores.
The British government and a large
section of the British public know that
we are doing our utmost to help them.
But the man in the street and the per-
sonnel of the fleet might not think we
have done everything for them, in the
event of real tragedy. 1t is only hu-
man that others should be blamed for
ones own misfortunes.
If we were at war with Germany
before any major tragedy befell the
British Isles-the fleet would not hesi-
tate to obey the orders to come to
Canada and the United States. They
would not be refugees but partners who
have only changed their bases of opera
ton. Our present position of being at
war without being at war" does not
particularly appeal to the British fight
ing men. A drastic change would show
them that we mean to stand by them
and we have strong psychological claim
on them which would obligate them to
continue to fight from these shores. And
in these days frequently psychological
argument is much stronger than the
lesalistic pledges Of individuals or groups
Of politicians.
