until she discovered Vance with his
wife, Georgia. 1t was well known that
he brought her here for luncheon
every Friday and that otherwise their
social engagements were seldom to-
gether. And people remarked how grave
and dutiful Vance appeared lunching
with Georgia You would have thought
they we're business acquaintance in
solemn conference. 1t gave Laurie a
peculiar sickish feeling, part anguish
and part fascination to see them to-
gether. She could not resist coming
here on Fridays-simply to watch
Vance across the room, so different
so restrained and absorbed. . This
evening when Laurie would be driving
with Vance and through Connecticut
to the little inn she would say casual
ly, Saw you lunching today" And as
always he would laugh and change
the subject, leaving her puzzled and
curious about Georgia. Yet surely she
had every right to know.
I've asked three times" said Henry
''if you'll try the brook trout. So !
have ordered it anyway, with new po-
tatoeS and peas. There is a dry
Martini at your elbow"
"Oh, nice" she said, smiling hastily
Henry leaned back against the
lounge and smiled, too, in an odd way
1t was not his usual slow and honest
smile, but secretive. rather, as if he
were sadly amused by the worlds
irony. 1t made Laurie uncomfortable
She knew he had seen her watching
Vance Devlin and his wife and she
wondered what her face might have
betrayed. She remembered the worldly
character in Vance's latest play who
remarked: There are two kinds of
women-those who wear hearts on
their sleeves and souls in their eyes
and clever women" But she
thought he should have added, And
women like Georgia" For certainly
she didn't belong to either group.
Did you like Torn Cobweb?'"
Laurie asked Henry. She was so con-
same room that she had to bring him
into the conversation somehow, any
how. She remembered, too, that Henry
had known Vance and Georgia long
ago, although naturally his dull bust
ness life had made him a stranger
to Vance's exciting genius. Henry was
the kind of a person who causes bril-
liant people to say: odd friend of
mine! A prince! I must see him!" And
then they neglect to see him.
"Yes, 1 liked Torn Cobweb,'" said
Henry. Really he was unique. No other
New York playgoer could have man
aged to remark on the comedy without
abuse or Qualification.
Cant you modify your verbs?' asked
Laurie. Did you like it immensely
or rather or terribly or somewhat"
1T is a good play" he said stub
bornly mild 1T is well constructed.
Vance Devlin always acts impeccably
in one of his own plays"
"Impeccably!" she said. That's

ROBERT MFTCALF
DIES AT AGE OF "a

Robert H Metcalf. "a, one Of Rutte's
leading contractors Of a quarter Of a
century or more ago, died recently in
Los Angeles, Calf, where he had made
his home since leaving the Mining
city in 1924
Metcalf was born at HYDE Park.
Utah. He came to Butte in 1888 and
made Butte his home until leaving
for California. He was widely known
and his friends in Montana were legion.
He was known as a good mixer" and
man who could make friends quickly.
In the early days, after arriving in
Butte, Metcalf was a contract team
ster. Later, he took up general con-
tracing, specializing on excavations
and paving. He excavated the ground
for the site Of the present Butte Y. NJ.
c. A, the Arizona hotel, in which he
was part owner at the time, and
numerous other buildings. He was the
paving contractor for several Of the
principal streets in Butte. He also did
considerable leasing of mining prop
erty and was said to have been very
successful.
In politics, Metcalf was a staunch
republican. For years he took an active
part in county and city party affairs
, and at one time was a republican
candidate for sheriff of Silver Bow
county. He polled a heavy vote in a
democratic stronghold. His opponent
was the late j. K. ORourke, who was
elected three times to the office.

SOUND THINKING

AT WARS END

imposition OF war economy" on
this country is bringing two important
uoblems-the prevention of initiation
and need for sound readjustment
after the fighting is over-Dr. Marcus
Nader. New York university economics
professor, said in an interview at
Helena
DR.. Nader, who also is consulting
economist for the Central Hanover
Bank & Trust Co. of New York. was
enroute to Seattle.
He said although wars In the past
brought in their wake sharp increases
in commodity prices he did not be-
ueye this needed to be the case at
present. The United States productive
capacity now is much greater than
during the last war, he said, land
great deal has been learned about the
control Of commodity prices"
Two forces, Nader said, are working
against inflation-one, large supply
Of agricultural commodities with no
market abroad. and the other taxes
which already are high and which VIII
he increased. Taxes reduce the pur-
chasing power of the people who pay
the taxes and thus curtail their ability
to buy," he explained. 1T is also likely
that excise taxes, particularly on
durable consumer goods, will be m
creased, thus making many commod-
tiles less attractive to buyers
Although he mentioned two factors
also working toward initiation, he as
serted that ION the whole I feel that
the danger of initiation in this countr!
for the time being is not very great.

In her bedroom she opened the box

put it to sleep on her own bed, its
skirt billowing regally as if it were
a princess.

pleased. She began to be glad he was
here-so comfortable and kind, sitting
erect on the Biedermeier sofa, regard
