BRIDE FROM THE SKY

/ behind four strong walls as quick
ly as possible. Not the kind Of
walls that made home, either.
The wide field. the darkness
pierced with tall balls of guiding
lamps, the murmur of the water
in the distance, the people who
kept appearing from everywhere
all this made Judy feel that she
had dropped down to a strange.
weird place.
Her bronze curls blew around
her shoulders. her eyes smoldered
with purple fire, her white dress
was thin and 1t was fragile.

Everybody laughed at that ex-

'Phony landing" She stamped

That's the idea. It's your own

SACRIFICE FOR
A REAL REASON

The sensible woman isn't giving
up anything just to be giving
something up. She knows that as
the war goes on she will have
plenty of reason for giving things
up. But right now she finds that
she can do about what is expected
Of her in the way of war work
without cutting out everything she
used TO enjoy. She may cut down
on her entertaining, buy less ex-
pensive and more practical gifts,
and weed out all outside activities
that she can give up without regret
but she doesn't just decide inn
pulsively to give up this or that
for the sake of making a sacrifice
She is saving her sacrifices for
the time when there is a real rea-
son for them-and when they will
do more good than just making her
feel self-righteous.

CHAPTER XVII

Judy pulled on the parachute
with all her strength as she came
down. the rising sound of the
motors following her. No. she de-
cided. she couldn't bear to the
south enough to save herself.
Sandy had done this to her :.
Sandy whom she hated.
A great silver light picked her
up then. and she realized she was
being placed In the center of a
searchlight to call the attention
Of the oncoming pilot to her fate.
She watched the strange plane
start down the runway. turn, come
to a sudden halt that rolled 1t
over on its side. crashing little
dizzily as IL took this unexpected
and undeserved punishment. Two
men, ildered and bruised
climbed from the injured airplane.
And she, Judy Allen, associate
editor of Under Twenty. was float
ing down to earth like a white
moth or an angel.
She wasn't afraid suddenly. She
didn't mind descending from the
purple sky in her wedding dress,
clinging to a parachute. When
she touched the ground. she be-
came aware that one white satin
slipper was gone. Lost in the
flight. Or maybe left In Sandy's
plane. She was glad that the train
on her wedding dress concealed
her unsupported foot. The earth
was cold. though.
She must lock funny-a bride

She started to laugh and could not

Why, there were hundreds Of
people at the airport to watch her
Yet there was an air of unreality
about the scene.
A dozen hands had released hei
from the parachute as 1t touched
earth. Amazed voices began al
artillery of questions.
"oh boy. what a story. Bride

man crowed.
