 "Never mind, Terry" said Vera comfortably. "You still have me Oh am I palling on you9"
 It was a gay, completely informal meal. They ate of a wobbly card table set up in the living room. Vera made the coffee, and every body helped to unwrap the delica- tessen packages and slap them down on plates. Beatrice had never in her life eaten spiced beef, pick led herring, hard rolls, potato salad and sour green tomatoes. But she found them delicious.
 Terry ate enormously, confidine between inouthfuls, Had nc lunch" After his second cup ol coffee, he tilted back the spindly bridge chair and remarked, What l & hareml Three beautiful girls [ and all for mel I wish had the price of a movie, kids"
 But instead" said Vera, you have some films to develop. I feel 1t coming on. Eat and run, that's you"
 "wel, Ives. As a matter of
 Vera got up and threw his hat at him. Get out of herel Pig!"
 Toby leaped to her feet. Wait a minute. There's the little matter of dishes, my boy"
 Terry hunched his broad shoul- ders and shivered. "Dishesl" Then his eye lighted OH Beatrice. Hey, I'm not the only guest around here. Make her help mel"
 The dishtowel in her fingers, watching him expertly dunking a cup into hot soapy water, Beatrice realized that this was the first time in her life she had ever &C., tually helped with this task that inevitably followed every meal she had ever eaten. She was clumsy, and he sneered at her. Don't dabl Wipel'
 He took the towel ous of her hand, at last. "A fine wife you'll make some miserable man. Go ep in there and decorate the sofa. Ac least you're good at that"
 His eyes narrowed. You know, I keep having the feeling that I've seen you before. Somewhere That little tilt to your chin -- the way you wear your hair. You remind me of something. It's vaguely swimming around in the back of my head. Some kind of an opulent scene goes with it--I can't think"
 You must be mistaken" she heard herself saying coolly. I've never seen you before in my life."
 "Yes. yes, I know. But I've seen you. used to be a publicity camerainan, you know. Montauk Point, Miami Beach, Palm Springs swell resort hotels"
 That must account for the opulent scenes" said Beatrice. You've got me mixed up with someone else"
 Terry's eyes were still narrowed and speculative. Maybe. But who's the gal I've got you mixed up with9"

Beatrice handed @ to Vera. Vera stared down at the money Lady, are you cracked? Do you think we're feeding a regiment? There's just four of us, you know, and potato salad at % cents a pound, and bologna at"
 Toby dived for the money. Don't take it. It's her last ditch fund.-"
 But I've crossed the ditch. I've practically got Q job!" Beatrice in- sisted.
 Vera said, "All right. wen celebrate. Spiced beef and picklcd herring. What kind of cake do you like?"
 Cheese cake," said Toby. "rhats expensive"
 After Vera was gone, Beatrice felt a bit dazed. You two cer- tainly understand each other" she said. And she's one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen"
 Yeah, she's beautiful. But she doesn't use 1t. Of course, she makes her living that way. What I mean is, she picks up the sad- dest specimens to fall in love with! With that face, she could fascinate a banker, couldn't she, and have diamonds.
 But no. Boozing reporters, and this nut of a photographer, and a crazy actor who'd like to be Ham, let, if he could only act. And saxophone player who only plays hot. He's so hot, in fact, he spends his nights tanning with Q bunch of other swing happy saps and hardly ever even plays. a club date ."
 Beatrice didn't understand all of 1t, but she got the drift. Toby tossed her @ clean towel, indicated the bathroom, and when Beatrice emerged, Vera and Terry were back, loaded down with brown paper bags.
 Terry was shorter than Vera. He had burly, broad shoulders and tumbled tawny hair. He had a pair of fuzzy eyebrows that quirked together as Toby intro- duced Beatrice.
 I'd like to take some shots of you. That patrician look. Say, you'd make swell model"
 Oh, no, thanks!" Beatrice cried In quick panic! T - my pictures always come out dreadfully. I'm not photogenic at all" She couldn't let this boy take pictures of her and perhaps have some

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 LESSON SERMON FOR
 SERVICES ON SUNDAY

At the Church of Christ, Scien- tist, on Sunday the subject is Reality"
 The following excerpts from the Lesson Sermon are taken from the Bible: If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. tColossians)
 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy: There is but one way to heaven, harmony, and Christ and divine Science shows Us this way. It is to know no other real ity-to have no other consciousness of life-than good, God and His reflection, and to rise superior to the so-called pain and pleasure of the senses. All that really exists is the divine Mind and it's idea and in this Mind the entire being is found harmonious and eternal. GPages PAP, 151)

yEA RAIDER UNREp0RTED
 IN , MONTHS
German Tamesis Believed 10 Have Been Sunk in
 Battle or by Storm

BERLIN, Sept. 27-The German Foreign Office has informed the United States State Department it has no information concerning the Nazi raider Tamesis nor the fate of two Americans, Francis Vicovari ad Ned Laughinghouse, wounded when the Egyptian steamship zam- Fam was shelled and sunk by the raider in the south Atlantic on April 1. More than five months have now passed without a clue to the disappearance of the sea raider and the two wounded Americans.
 It is presumed the raider has been sunk, carrying the crew and the two Americans said to have been in the hospital quarters aboard the Tam esis.
 The British Navy has made no report of the sinking of the Tamesis or any German vessel fitting it's description but it is conjectured the raider may have been sunk in some unreported sea battle or went down in storm somewhere in the south Atlantic
