'PeI| Street Party
By PEARL NINICk

Lily Yang counted swiftly on
the abacus board in her father S
restaurant-her fingers flying over
the wooden beads. She collected
the money, rang il up and settled
back on her stool as the last
customer stuffed the last peanut
into his mouth as he passed the
bar into the street
II was s o'clock. Lily looked
across the room where Peter Ahn
was having an early dinner.
Better eat plenty. Peter"
she called. THAT dinner for
Jade Hing won't even give you
the chance for cup of tea

Peter answered, his chopStlcks
moving with quick, graceful
gestures.
Peter was not an ordinary head
waiter. Lily reflected 10 herself.
He didn't play nah jong all night
like the other boys.

rected. II have for YOU a royal

Lily hurried TO change There
was hardly time To whisk rice
powder over her button nose.
Peter, she observed, as she came
back behind the cash register,
looked exceedingly handsome. like
those pictures in that swanky

The guests were arriving. First
came the oily and sleek importers
rafting their heavy gold watch
chains then the diplomats at
least 1872 they looked like diplomats
and then that must be the aviatriX

HOLDS HER BREATH

Lily stared impolitely, and held
her breath. Every girl in China

beautifully tailored TO bring out
the lines of her figure, her close
fitting caps which made her enor-
nous eyes even bigger, and ac-
ccntuatcd her mouth the red Oh
a crushed ripe pomeeranate.
The aviatriX was now in wine
satin Chinese gown, her glossy
hair worn up on the top in sleek
coils, the back held down with
a brooch of fresh white orchids.
The plump and jolly mayor was
holding on to her arm. his face oily
with excitement People Streamed
after them, and outside on the
pavement, Lily could see an
avalanche of children sucking on
Sugarcandy. their eyes popping
with excitement.
MY wrap, will somebody take
it," said the aviatriX pausing
gracefully in the middle OF the
floor. Peter hurried forward.
Gosh" thought Lily "You
would think he was head
waiter at Ruby F0o's the way
he looks. You'd never think he's
only been one for a couple OF

And then she heard from the
pomegranate mouth of the Chinese

FRACTIONS DELAY
 DRAFT OFFICIALS
Work Of Integrating New Registrants Proving
 Difficult Task

Difficulties presented themselves in local draft boards today when of- flee employees sought to integrate new registrapts with old. Master lists are complete in a majority of local boards, but the work of coln- bining the new group in various ra- tios with the old. has struck a snag. In order to simplify matters, .aa- tionaI headquarters advised selective service branches that In calculating ratios, where fractional results were obtained, such as i to l2.6. the best procedure would be to use q prOpor- ton of 1 to I3. Or if the fraction were less than cne-half. merely to drop it. and utilize only the whole number.
 The difficulty with this aETainse- uient, however. is that when the final computations are arrived nk several names remain un-lnfegrats Cd. due to the disparity created hy the fraction.
 Local boards, in c QuandFy. have decided to let maktsfe rect. and O. walt further instructions from nar Al0mml haadnilaKAaTa.
