Tom was just putting himself
in. He probably thought that
that was boon enough for any
girl.
Ends little white face sud-
denly became set, and new
light blazed in her usually timid
eyes. For once she was going to
do something she wanted to do,
regardless of consequences!
She had another inspiration,
one that salved her conscience.
She'd take $50 Of her savings
and send Lefty and the children
up to the lake with Pop and
Nom. Then she wouldn't feel SO
guilty in doing what she wanted
to do with the rest OF it.
She bought a paper next day
at lunch time and scanned the
Apartments for Rent column
while she ate. A nice apartment,
she had decided, would be
cheaper than hotel. She could
do her own cooking and save on
the food item. That would leave
her more money for clothes and
incidentals.
An address halfway down the
list caught her attention.
Worthing A m s, Arlington,
That certainly sounded swanky.
She read on: Arm. apt. Frigid-
sire. Janitor service. Complete
ly furnished She tore it out
and put it in her purse.
But by evening her resolution
had weakened. 1t was with a
a great deal of trepidatiOn that
she took the Arlington bus, in
stead of the one she usually
rode.
She was sure that she q never
have the nerve TO go through
with her crazy plan. 1t was too
insane. Why, that previously
saved $3.50 would almost furnish
a small apartment, complete. She
was too sensible to squander it.
But she'd look at the apartment
III Arlington anyway. 1t would
be nice to see inside really nice
one, and she might get some
ideas for furnishing her own
later.
The Worthing Arms proved to
be a rambling, winged, brick
building set back of wide,
beautifully shrubbed lawn. Enid
sighed contentedly as she walk
cd up the surved walk to the
heavy oak door of what seemed
to be the main entrance and,
pulling it open, stepped a little
out of breath into dim hall.
Three shallow steps led upward
TO the level of a long carpeted
corridor.
A placard stuck UP on the
lawn had said to inquire at Apt.
No. 3. She found that number
over door at the rear of the
hall and pressed the button with
her finger. She heard footsteps
inside the apartment, and mo-
ment later the door opened. A.
blond young man in blue silk
dressing robe looked inquiringly
at her.
Enid stared at him fooiishly.
His face was confusingly famil-
lar.

Eyes, Nom"
MONS voice went OH with its
usual complaint. Its about time.
Tom Driscoll's no business keep
ing you out until this time of
night, and every night. What do
you suppose the neighbors
Think"
Sara Sharon had had three
daughters. Lefty was married,
Katie had died as d child, and
Enid-well, no one was going to
say that one of her daughters
wasn't a good girl. And she
didn't trust Tom Driscoll any
farther than she could see him.
Ends face twisted a little as
she climbed the stairs. In way
Nom would be glad if she did
marry Tom, Then she wouldn't
have to worry any more about
her virtue. And yet she wouldn't
like it altogether either. For
Enid was the meal ticket, now
that Pop couldn't work any
more.
Nom spoke again as Enid
reached the upper hall. Come
in here, honey. I've got some
thing to tell YOU" There was an
excited tremor in her voice.
"What-?" Enid began.
But Nom didn't give her time
to finish. 1--WE got letter from
Aunt Faye today" Aunt Faye
was MONS sister, the one who
had married money. She says
she hasn't been able to rent one
of her cottages this summer, and
we can have it for a. month,
free"
Enid sat down on the side of
the bed beside her mother. Pop
rolled over on his side facing
her, his faded blue eyes spark
ling with excitement. They were
both as pleased as children at
Christmas time.
That's grand, Nom" Enid
caught their enthusiasm. You II
have to rent a. rowboat, you and
Pop, and you can fish to your
hearts content"
II was just wondering" Nom
paused thoughtfully. You've got
whole month vacation coming,
Enid. You know you skipped
yours last year when all those
girls at the office were sick with
summer flue. Maybe you could
get it now, and
Enid leaned down and kissed
her mothers flabby cheek.
Nov, don't start worrying
about me, Nom. "Tll be right
here. You two go up to the lake

LOWLY POTATO

People of France today stand

and enjoy yourselves. i doubt if
l could get my vacation on such
short notice
She didn't like TO fish, and she
couldn't swim well enough to
venture far in lake water. She
wondered what in the world she
would do with whole month to
spend in a typically crowded,
noisy, inconvenient, summer re-
sort.
But she was glad that Nom
and Pop had the chance to go
and said so again. They would
enjoy it. Don't fuss around
making a lot of preparations, y
She urged. Go this week END
Phil will drive you up if you ask
him"
Alone i'm her own room, she
remembered that she hadn't said
anything to Nom and Pop about
her brandnew engagement. And
she began to wonder again why
she had lied to Tom. He'd find
out that she wasn't going away
shed have TO tell him. 1t had
been such a senseless thing TO
do.'
1t would be nice, though, If
she could 60 away for a month
or six weeks and do just as she
liked-have a sort of fling at
lifc-bcfore she settled down
forever as Mrs. Thomas Driscoll.
She sat down on the edge Of
her bed day-dreaming about it..
What would she do if she could
do just as she liked for a month?
Live in a hotel or a nice apart
ment! Meet interesting people
the kind Of people she'd al
ways wanted to know! Pretend
that she really was what she
longed to be. an artist! Wear
beautiful clothes!
The idea was so breath taking
that she blinked stupidity. Just
the thought of it made her dizzy.
She got up after a moment
and picked up her pursc and
pulled out thin bank book.
Three hundred and fifty dol
lars was the last balance, enter
ed in neat black figures. She
had saved it painfully during the
six years she had been working.
Saved it by stinting her lunches,
and buying plain serviceable
clothes instead of the ones she
really wanted, and by doing her
own hair and nails.
More than once Enid had felt
frightfully guilty hearing her
mother put off bill collector
with her pathetic but honest
hard luck story.
At first she had treasured her
savings, thinking that she'd use
the money to 90 to a good art
school sometime. And lately
she'd thought that if she and
Tom got married it would buy
her wedding clothes and be a
down payment on some furni-
/ ture.
But the rebellious impulse
that had seized her in art class
was still smoldcring within her.
1t wasn't right that one should
never have anything that one
really wanted. Why should she
put her savings into their mar
Rage? Tom didn't have any.

Revision
To Up Prices

WASHINGTON The Office Of
Price Administration Tuesday
rushed preparation of a new price
regulation expected To relieve
growing shortages among retail
and wholesale outlets of many i'm
portant food products.
The regulation, which OPA
hopes to issue ''early in
October" will allow increased
retail and wholesale prices to
eliminate "squeezes" between
these prices and the prices of
distributors must pay TO pro-
ducers.
OPA officials admitted that the
effect would be slightly" infla-
tionary.
They explained its necessity as
follows:
Under the general price
ceiling, prices were established
at the highest March level.
hut there had been increases
in producers prices during
that month with no cores
ponding Increase In distribut-
ors prices.
As result. distributors.
under the price ceiling, must
pay higher-than-normal prices
10 producers while they must
sell the products at normal
prices, eancelling out profit
margins entirely In many in
stances. Distributors there
fore have refused To carry
products affected nv the
squeeze" and housewives are
beginning 10 find shortages.
OPA officials said the forth.
coming regulation, by authorizing
chain distributors TO charge
higher prices, would accomplish
some savings to consumers. The
chain prices, though higher thar
they are now, still will be below
prices of independent distributors
