LADY OR A MONTH
 CHAPTER, V

1IlG IlISU LAlOuSAAI bAAHO oAA oSN nto Enid's waking mind that morn Ing was THE APARTMENT. She had rented it. There was no chance to change her mind now. For once, she had actually dared to do some thing she wanted to. or a whole month now she could live a glamor- ous life.
 But there were a lot of details to be attended to before she could enter into the enjoyment of her secret paradise. She made excited plans as she dressed. First of all she would try to get her vacation to start immediately. For having rented the apartment at what, to her, was an exorbitant rental, she wanted every possible minute in which to enjoy it.
 She didn't really think there would be any difficulty about get ting her vacation on such short notice. August was slack time at the plant, and with John Stanton, the big boss, away, there would be sven less doing than usual.
 She intended to tell no one. either at the office or at home. what she was going to do with her vacation Her plans were innocent enough but no one would understand. They would think it ridiculous, if not downright insane, to spend her sav- ings and vacation hidden away in a nicely furnished apartment, enjoy- ing rather furtiyely for one short month the surroundings and atmos- phere of more gracious way of living than would ever be hers as Mrs. Tom Driscoll.
 As 1t was, things would work out nicely. Pop and Nom would think she was working and staying at home. Lefty would be out of town with them. And she had already told Tom that she was going away for month.
 That brought to her mind an- other detail that she mustn't over- look. She'd have to make some arr engagement about her letters to Tom ,.-send them to Grace Dingline aRd have her mail them from the mirie where she waC Sdpposed to be. and then have Grace send Toms back tn her.

with herself? She'd look pretty silly trying to explain the apart ment in Arlington.
 She continued to worry while she packed the few clothes she was going to take with her-a new turquoise blue sweater ensemble and her white linen suit. She came very near regretting that she hadn't gone with her folks to the lake as her mother had wanted her to do.
 But her doubts were lost once she arrived at the apartment. The taxi driver carried her bags in and she tipped him generously, and then closed the door with a giggle. Leaning against it she turned to survey her new world.
 All this charm, this quiet luxury was hers all hers for month!

 Letty's face clouded as swiftly as 1t had frightened. "Oh-I couldn't Enid. The children and haven't the right kind of clothes to wear. You know how it is at a summer resort"
 That" Enid told her firmly, "is what we are going to fix right now"
 They bought slacks and sweaters and play suits, clothes that wouldn't require laundering often. And bath ing suits ranging from conserva- tive black one for Lefty to a saucy canary yellow wisp of suit for baby Ann. And sand buckets and shovels and boats.
 It had been years since Lefty had had any kind of a vacation and the prospect of an entire carefree month of fun was almost too much. Wait until I pinch myself" she begged Enid in a quavering voice. \ know I'm going to wake up"
 Mot yet" Enid told her. "We want the dress department next"
 Lefty followed her meekly, too overwhelmed to object any more In daze she let an efficient sales girl try dresses on her, until Enid decided that cool green print was the most becoming. And you need big wide hat to go with it, Enid added.
 But where will I wear it?' Lefty interposed weakly.

It was awkward but it was nec- essary, If she was to keep her whereabouts secret. The worst of it was it entailed some plausible explanation to Grace who would naturally be curious.
 Nervously she approached the head stenographer'S desk as soon as she arrived at the office. As Enid had expected, there was no difficulty about her vacation. Grace consulted her sheet of vacation schedules for the department and told Enid that she could have her month starting Monday if that was the way she wanted 1t.
 Enid gripped her slipping courage and, flushing painfully, asked Grace if she would forward some letters for her from the mine.
 "Why?" Grace Dingline asked in her crisp, direct way.
 Enid blurted out half truth. My boy friends-the one you met the other night-Wants to get mar ried, and I'm not sure I like him well enough. I want to get away for a month all by myself and then, maybe, I can make up my mind. I don't want him to know where I am, so I told him was to go to the mine with MT. Stanton It wouldn't be much trouble to you would it?"
 Grace looked at her shrewdly She had always thought Enic Sharon a little queer, but this top ped everything. Hiding from boy because he wanted to marry her Being very worldly, another possib. ility popped into Grace's mind al well. Maybe there was a secret in trigue back of Enid's request.

WASHINGTON, July Is On
NEST Of the workman walls in the
Office of Censorship, there is this
caution:
"A censor needs the eye OF a
hawk; the memory of an elephant;
the nose of a blood hound; the
heart of a lion; the yiligance OF
an owl; the voice of dove; the
eagacity of Solomon; the patience
of job; and the imperturbability
of the Sphinx"
In spite OF the fact that that
describes a masterpiece OF conglom-
crate genius, I think the author
should have added "A Jovian
sense of humor."
Director OF Censorship Byron

ming over the fact that some one
