delicious GOODNESS and quiet of
her own apartment.
She took a leisurely shower
and changed into filmy
housecoat. Bart wouldn't be
home for a couple of hours.
How gauche the brown
paper bag looked with its
skeins of coarse wool. Fancy
making such a heavy sweater
in Summer =. but one heard,
of course. that it was always
cool in England.
The instructions for making
were absurdly simple.
TN start with a sleeve first
to make IL more amusing"
Carla decided.
How long ago her old knit
ting days" seemed when she
had been struggling to look
smart on $3.50 a week. What
a grind it had been. but at
least she had used bright
woods, not this dark colored
stuff.
How she would love TO be
knitting A sweater in green or
scarlet e. but that would be
unsafe in case of bombers.
THEN A SHUDDER
Carla felt a shudder as if
a goose had walked over
her grave. What could
there have been in Teddy's
cocktails?
1t was a good idea to make
warm clothes for the British.
One saw pictures of Red Cross
workers helping people into
coats as they stood among
ruins.
What must they feel like 10
stand in the dripping rain. on
what amounted 10 a battle
field, gently pulling a child
of s into wooden sweater?
Maybe not a very strong child,
maybe white faced and sickly
and badly frightened.
Carla cast off the cuff.
There! With such big needles
and thick wool she had knit
ted the whole sleeve. A
brown sleeve TO shield help
less little arm.
Wonderingly, she stroked it
between her fingers. The
warm wool seemed almost
alive. as though already COW
ering a living, breathing little
body.
NO SAFETY
Suddenly she was shaken
by a strange sense of fear and
horror. 1t seemed as if a
little. hot. sticky hand were
clinging trustingly to her
own as if a terrified child
had turned to her for comfort
against the terrible elemental
things; against cold and dam
ger and the darkness of sud-
den death.
And there was no safety in
her arms because she, herself,
had always been afraid. There
was no safety any more in
all the world. only cruelty and
terror and blind self-preserva-
ton.
A wave of self-disgust swept
over her. What a fool she
had been! The knowledge
was like a bombshell blasting
her sense of power and
achievement. Why she was
nothing really d. less than
nothing all that she could
do was give E.. and give.
Whipped on by her own
scorn she ran into her bed
room and delved into boxes
she hadn't opened for years.

What's the phrase?
TURN ON THE HEAT"

YOU weren't made to be as you are now
cold and limp-cringing in some dark
niche of life-crawling through some mar
row rut.
You were meant TO flannel Meant to
leap and burn and glow and sparkle! Meant
TO see and fell and express beauty and
power. ecstasy and everlasting adventure.
You were meant to be 20 people in
stead Of one-neant TO live gorgeously-
godly Remember that first version of our
own creation?
and the Lord God formed man Of the
dust of the ground, and breathed into his
nOstriIs the breath of life; and man became
a living SOUL
So you were made with the divine
spark flaming through you and the fires
of god quickening your clay. And so
you were meant TO live.

No sooner were the words
out than Carla wished them
unsaid. There was a roar of
laughter, but Alice had gone
as white as chalk. Everyone
knew that her extravaganza
was running her marriage.
Well. it had been an
amusing dress show, and now

The most profitable years during
his long career, he frankly admitted,
came during the last World War. 1t

in use in his store and it was then,

of his earnings for the future.
That future has come now, but he

The nearneSS of his store to the
White House brought other prom
inent figures to its door. among
them Benjamin Harrison, who came
there with his grandson to play
slot machine fastened to the out
side wall.

DR.. Krick began working in
drugstore at the age of l3 in Chilli

"The American Government and
people have always sympathized with
the natural and legitimate aspira-
tions of the people of Syria and
Lebanon" the statement said. This
Government therefore welcomes any
steps toward the realization of these
aspirations, chief among which is.
OF course, the full enjoyment of
sovereign independence"
Formal recognition of the indie
pendence of the territories, the de-
partment pointed out, however, must
await negotiations to supplant a

proving the mandate principle and
setting forth American rights in
the areas involved.
