the news OF her divorce. Congratu-
lations and flip remarks. Just an
other Divorce.
She saw the years ahead, the
lonely years, unless she married
again. And what sort of man would
she ever meet that she would want
to marry? She shuddered in her
bed. And then she thought of Win.
What would Win think? She
would never see Win again. She
would lose brother as well as hus-
band.
She slept when the narrow band
OF gray in the sky turned into faint
color.
And she woke 20 the delicious
aroma Of coffee in her nostrils. The
events of the night swept over her
and she lay very quiet, and fearful,
in her bed, listening to Eric's move
ments in the kitchen. She heard the
clatter OF china and did not dare
to rise and go into the kitchen as
she wanted TO.
She wondered why Eric, who al
ways slept until noon if he did not
have an early morning appoint
ment. and then got his breakfast
out II he did, was getting break
fast this of all mornings.
She heard the bedroom door
opened and turned her eyes to II.
Eric, his hair still uncombed, his
pajamas rumpled, pushed the door
open with his knee. He bore a tray
and on it there was a mound of
burned toast, the coffee percolator
and two cups and saucers.
THE beginning of the great ref
ormation," he said brightly.
Hallie's heart came up from her
toes and settled in her breast with
such a thump it left her weak.
She said, mo one can make cof-
fee like you, darling"
Thanks His grin was her re-
ward for the compliment. Il can
use it this morning. I had a bad
night"
so did T." she confessed.
The burned toast tasted good
They ate all Of it, talking about the
news in the morning paper.
Eric got cigarets and then he
said, I'VE both said lot Of things
we didn't mean last night"
It was on the tip of Hallie's
tongue to say that Eric had said
nothing that wssn't true. but she
stiffened her new resistance and
said, Maybe we said them in the
wrong ords, but l meant them,
Eric"
Il know you did" He smiled at
her guilty. That's the worst Of
it. But they started me to thinking,
all these ultimatums Of yours. And
other things, too. You know, Hal
lie, I haven't got your kind Of tenn
permanent. ! don't think the way
you do. I've got to hand 1t TO you
You've never tried to make me
over"
Halle managed a grim, smile.

Fine Points in Bridge

OF course, II West had led dia.
mond, as many unwise players
would, the hand would have been
a cinch, but after the spade lead,
South went to work. To create an
illusion Of spade length. he let the
spade 10 win, went to the heart A,
cashed the spade A. ran four more
hearts. the spade K and the two
minor aces, then led the last heart
while still holding the diamond 8
and club-J. and in the dummy the
diamond K-10 and club Q. West,
with the club X, did not like to
toss that and set up the Q, so had
to make the equally unhappy dis
card of the diamond J from the
Q-J. .Thereupon the club Q was
thrown from dummy. the diamond
8 to the K dropped the Q and the
diamond 10 took the final trick.

Most of us are not, but merely pat

there are really many times when

5 pecioIist Rutinq

The Saith Engineer Battalion
tcamouf1age) of 1t. Gen. Hugh A.
Drums LIST Army is one of the
few outfits that has no basic pri-
Yates among its 81 officers and 402
enlisted men. The officers are all
engineers and each enlisted men is
either a commissioned officer
or holds a specialist rating.
The reason for the extra pay is
that the battalion is entirely an Or
ganization of technical advisers, the
only unit in the Army devoted solely
to camouflage work. The camou-
feurS advise and instruct units OF
the 1st Army on how best to camou-
mage their materiel and troops.
To make the Army realize that 1t
must keep itself covered or be blown
to bits, the unit has been broken
down into groups as small as two
men, who work with regiments and
never see each other for weeks.
Each group puts on demonstrations
Of how concealment works, lectures
at the spot on the subject. and then
stands by to help out while the units
60 through their practice.
The fact that the camouflage work
must be performed by the troops
Immediately concerned is stressed
since the man power of the camou-
fage units is insufficient to do more
than supervisory work.
Disguise Chief Aim.
The extensive use Of shadows is
the key to camouflaging as taught
by the specialists of the 84th Dis
guising the appearance Of an object
from the air rather than attempt
Ing its complete concealment Is the
aim OF the camoufleurs. Though
they use camouflage nets and ar
tificial shrubbery when necessary to
hide materiel or men, the camou-
f1age engineers consider it better to
disguise appearances by blending
them with all surrounding objects
as they stand.
Thus, when they were camped one
time in the midst of an automobile
Junk yard, they piled the available
used parts in such way as to make
their camp appear like part Of
graveyard"
The battalion's base camp is filled
with experimental and proved cam
outage devices: Painted canvas
tents, huge nets TO cover gurc, stacks
Of chicken wire and a portable fac
tory that is the pride of the outfit.
In one day the factory can turn
out 20 miles of cloth cut into two
strips, inches wide and 5 inches
long, painted one or more of 20
specially devised colors, and dried
ready for use on the big camoufiage
nets. The factory. with its electric
cutters. hand cranked presses and
huge dyeing vat. was constructed by
the personnel of the battalion
Maj. Lincoln Originated Idea.
The commander of the 84th. Mai.
Ralph A. Lincoln, is the engineer
who originated and promoted the
Idea Of a camouflage unit, capable
not only Of preparation of camou-
flage materials, but also OF going
into the field to inspect and demon
strate to the troops the best methods
OF camoufage.
About a third of the men in the
battalion are professional artists,
another third are experienced car
penters, and the others come from
backgrounds as varied as mechanics,
financial writing. or the law.
