made her stomach feel all hollow and numb
as it did when she swallowed too much ice
cream too fast.
Will you have cookie, my dear? from
very far off she heard Mrs. Duval asking.
Thank YOU" Isabelle turned like an
automaton and took three cookies from the
plate held out to her. She saw the box on the
counter - the little pink cakes. She had to
leave at moment like this! Pink cakes and
a dowdy tea of mothers intruding on the soul
drama of this moment, But such was life
Putting the cookies on top of the box. she
lifted it from the counter - sorrow indeed
well goodby!" Isabelle politely smiled
at Mrs. Duval before she gave her glance to
Andre. "Goodby!" she repeated, and let her
smile fade into tremulous solemnity. Il hope
you'll maybe telephone or drop by the house
sometime.
You are very kind, he answered gravely,
and she concluded this must be the French
way of saying he'd be delighted to drop by
the house - but Immediately!
Yet one day passed; second day was well
into its afternoon, and Andre had neither
dropped by nor telephoned. Isabelle began to
wonder if perhaps she didn't understand the
French way of saying things after all. Maybe
she'd simply dreamed up that moment in the
bakery. Maybe it hadn't meant thing to
him. This appalling possibility struck her just
as she was entering kittredges Neighborhood
Drugstore, where somebody - and often al
most everybody - in the younger set could
be found of summer afternoon.
well, if you don't look like you'd been
bopped one right between the eyes," she
heard feminine voice exclaim, and she turned
her head to see one of her two very dearest
friends, Kay Oliver, sitting in booth drink
ing milk shake.
Well" Isabelle began, her glance sweep
ing over Kay in search of inspiration for a
fitting retort She found it in Kay's new
coiffrlre and she concluded triumphantly,
We'll, must say you look like you'd been
crowned with a bunch of little black sau
sagesi'
Anyway, it's different" Kay retorted
amiably, patting the curls atop her head in
an arrangement that, she rightly suspected,
Isabelle considered perfectly stunning.
Il think I'll wear it this way to the Country
Club Saturday night" Kay added, referring

to the outdoor party to which the general
public was being cordially invited for the
benefit of Europe's refugee children. The
debutantes were to preside over booths of
small merchandise and games of chance;
while the ladies of the younger set were to
circulate among the guests, selling bouton-
neres and candy and other small articles.
Isabelle, like all the other girls, had been
pretty excited over the affair. But right now
she had no time to talk about a party. She
had to go downtown, straight down to Duval's
Bakery and buy pie or something. She
wasn't the type to waste agony worrying over
a boy. Not when, by the spending of mere
quarter, she could see him as if by accident
and find out the truth. 1t could be done - of
course in subtle sort of way, gay and vague,
but nevertheless direct enough to pin boy
down to what he really thought about girl,
We'll, come on" Kay said. Don't stand
there just staring a nothing. Sit down
j CAN'T" Isabelle explained with elaborate
casualness. Il Just remembered, | have to go
downtown.
Not to Duval's Bakery by any chance?"
Kay inquired. Isabelle jumped - then tried
to pretend she hadn't. Her suspicious verified,
Kay gleefully pursued Isabelle in burlesqued
version of her idea of French accent.
You aren't re only one, babee!' Kay
twanged her voice through her nose. Every
girl with re price of ze cookie has met heem.
All! Zoze eyes, Eat Latin politeness!" Aban-
doning her accent, she quoted, You're very
kind! You're very kind. he says when you
fling out hint like an engraved invitation
to come over sometime. And then -" she
smote her forehead with her palm - mo
telephonee, no dateev
oh, for heavens sake," Isabelle veiled
her agitation behind glance of utter weari-
ness. Don't you ever think about anything
but boys?"
Don't you?" Her black eyes dancing,
Kay bent to her milk shake and caught the
two straws between her teeth.
MY, myp' Isabelle observed blandly, and
turning toward the door, she waved a limp
hand in farewell "A sense of humor is GER
tainly wonderful thing!'
1T helps, baby, it helps!' Kay called after
her

SOUTH AMERICAN
SOURCE OF VITAL FOODS

beef to England and other parts OF
Europe where growing populations
required new sources of food. The
British Isles still are Argentina's
largest customer.
The increase in meat exports
brought changes to the pampas.
Many fields were SoWn to alfalfa,
which can feed more cattle than
can grass. Ranchers began to fence
their big pastures and divide their
land into smaller farms. AS SCI
entific farming was put into opera
ton the old gauchos, colorful cow
boys, virtually disappeared. Dairy
ing developed. Flax was planted
and Argentina now is a major source
of linseed Oil. Windmills were erected
to insure steady supply of water.
In Argentina and Uruguay pack
ing plants were built by British and
American firms, as well as by resi-
dent companies. Flour mills and
diaries were established; textile
mills began to spin and weave wool.
These industries have brought about
concentration of people in cities.
Buenos Aires, largest city on the
continent, has nearly fifth of
Argentinas 100000 inhabitants.
Southeastern Brazil and Paraguay
unlike their neighbors in the Tenn
perate Zone, produce crops of a
tropical nature In the hills and
plateaus back of the Brazilian coast
is grown about three-fourths of the
worlds coffee supply. Southeast
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-12-21

winds from the Atlantic bring heavy
rain and the coffee trees thrive in
the moist, fertile soil. Further
more, there is no serious frost to
harm the trees or the red berries.
Sac Paulo is the center of the
coffee industry, with Santos as the
principal export center. Beautiful
Rio de Janeiro, the capital, is the
largest port for general commerce.
Brazil, largest country in South
America, was settled by Portuguese
rather than Spaniards, and
Portuguese still is the language of
the people.
Sugar cane and rice grow in
Brazil's coastal lowlands. The
region also produces cassava, from
which topioca is made: the natives
eat the starchy roots. In Paraguay,
where Indians form the bulk of the
population, cotton is the leading
crop. Orange groves, now abundant,
were first planted by Jesuit mis-
sionaries 300 years ago; birds scat
