garded as leaving absolutely no
doubt about it.
Next to the presidency itself, his
position is rated as. at least nomi-
nally, the most important in the
country. Most Of the actual work
will be done. by Donald M.-Nelson,
the boards executive director.
However. as chairman. Henry will
get most Of the limelight, whereas
Donald will get all of the brick
bats. He'll do the practical priority
granting and allocating, which will
be all right as to concerns that get
grants, but certainly will infuriate
those that grants are withheld
from.
Thus Henry's prestige will be
enhanced by the presidents desig-
nation of him for an exceedingly ex-
allied position and at the same time,
Donald will insulate him against
the violent dislike Of disappointed
priority and ALLEGATION applicants.

when / saw him that day at your
house, and saw how much he cared
about making an impression on
your daughter. 1 knew our jig was
up. Sorry, but there isn't anything
I can do. But see your point.
You don't relish doing the smash
ing yourself. I wouldn't, either.
Your daughter won't like you for
it. After all, why do you have to
do it,"
Ann had not answered her. Her
answer had been plain and 1t was
for her daughter. There could be
no changing it.
That, Halle saw as she faced her
mother and repeated, II mean to
marry him, Mother"
There will be no wedding in this
house"
Halle felt numb, unable to
think. She was aware Of sounds.
Familiar sounds. Susan laying the
table in the dining room. The sound
of silver and china. The paper boy
whistling as he flung the evening
paper against the door. The fac
tory whistle from the other side OF
the town. Another day done. A day
that marked the end of something,
the beginning Of something new
that was rushing at her like a tor
rent. And, In that numbed instant,
Halle knew what 1t was.
It was her future with Eric, and
she must go into 1t alone. without
the love of her father and mother,
For, much as her father loved her,
she was aware that he was ranged
with Ann-against her In this
marriage.
Without another word, she
crossed the room and went up the
stairs.
She was going to Eric, but there
was no Joy in her at that moment.
She didn't cry. Her whole body
felt wooden as she took down her
dresses from their hangers-not
the lovely new things In her trous-
seau which she would leave-but
the familiar things. She folded
them into the big suitcase which
had always been a symbol Of an
ticipation to her before. Methodi-
cally, she filled the case. Shoes, LIN
gerie, her toilet things. Then she
dressed In the light tweed outft
which was suitable for the train,
and picked up her suitcase.
Her father and mother still were
In the drawing room when she
came downstairs. She put the suit
case down and. drawing on herr
gloves, she went to the door Of the
room. 4
Her father said, "Hallie-v
I'm sorry, Dad" Her voice
sounded unlike her own to her ears.
II have to do 1t this way. I'll write.
In the meantime, I'll stay with Sue

Her mother didn't speak.

Knowing the truth ?"
The truth! Halle sighed because
her mother was making a noun
tain out of a mole hill. She knew
the things that Toby had told
Louise and Louise, in turn, had told
her. Yes, she knew that Sheila was
a chorus girl, that Sheila had
loaned" Eric money. Eric had ad-
mitted it.
But all this, Halle thought
knowing her mother, was not the
thing that was wrong. Ann was q
snob; she often admitted it proud
ly. She belonged to the school that
damned anyone like Sheila Sher-
man because she was zone Of those
women of the theater." Because
Eric had been associated with a
girl of Sheila's kind, Mummie was
condemning Eric as not being good
enough for her daughter. For So
cial reasons, Mummie would stop
the marriage.
But the truth-the real truth

Ann Singleton during that hour.
But II you're worrying about me,
you don't need to. Or your daugh-
ter. She wants him. / don't think I
do-now. I'm going to get a real
chance to be an actress. I'll be bet
ter of alone. And this is going to
be good for Eric. He's in love with
her. And she's in love with him,
and, believe me, Mrs. Singleton,
it's all right being In love with Eric
when he feels that way about you.
Maybe you don't know anything
about love. But your daughter will
get her moneys worth"
my daughter hasn't any mon
ey," Ann had said between frozen
lips. e'If what you tell me Is true,
there<will be no marriage"
For an instant the girl was 60
ing to tell her more. She was 60
ing to tell her how 1t had begun.
How 1t had begun with the mock
marriage, only they'd believed 1t
was real because Miller, who
played in their company, told them
he'd been q minister. Yes. that was
the way 1t had begun. The story
trembled on her lips, but the icy
blue eyes across from her stemmed
its flow.
Sheila shrugged her shoulders
and said, Give them a break, Mrs.
Singleton. And remember this:
There are two things any woman
ought to know: Never try to hold
on to a man when he wants an
