hurried in to dress for the studio

questioning from Mary. She didn't
want to tell her she had seen Bruce
Martin bringing Toinette into the
studio several times recently, nor
did she feel any call to mention the
fury and torment she had seen on
his face.
The assistant director hurried
over to Fran as she came onto. the

Fran and Burke went through

Link, the stars publicity agent,

important. Fran decided to come

Her work was an escape, not full
hllment, a struggle to fill a heart
hopelessly estranged from her pres
ent life.
In the middle OF a fevered dts
cussion Of efficiency methods one
night, Mary's gaze wandered from
Ken and Connie toward the lunch
room door. With a thudding shock,
she saw Bruce Martin standing
there. It was the first time she had
seen him in the long weeks since
that wonderful and yet dreadful
evening at the Cocoanut Grove,
Her gaze held helplessly on him as
he stood there looking arrogantly
about the room. He saw her. His
eyes held on her for an instant

ME For a moment her heart stood
still. She felt he was coming over
But he didn't. He gave her a smile,
a nod, and turned to another flyer
beside him. They spoke briefly
then Bruce turned and left the
lunchroom.
In the moment Of black empti-
ness that followed his appearance,
Mary saw one thing clearly. No
matter what happened, no matter
even II he loved someone else, she
would always love him. She must
face the fact and reconcile herself
to II. III he had loved me-" she told
herself firmly, it would have been
just that much velvet" 1t was up
to her now whether that love would
enrich or embitter her life.
She tried to tell Fran about It
the next morning, as they sat over
late breakfast Of mullins and
marmalade, celebrating the fact
that Fran had late call for the
studio. Fran refused to understand
such an attitude. you can't go on

and Toinette, taken at some night
spot, did she feel the old stab of
pain.
Her new sign-up work was alb
sorbing every ounce Of her atten-
ton and energy. Each night new
faces lined the waiting room, par
titioned off from the personnel de-
partment. Men and women, ranging
from teen age to late middle-age,
came through the swing gate and
went to one Of the personnel girls
for help with their application for
work. From Maine, from Florida,
from Tennessee, from Arkansas,
from the Hawaiian islands they
came, some confidently, some
eagerly, some desperately, but all
welcomed in the great task Of arm
ing a nation at war.
Mary's period Of instruction had
ended abruptly with a sudden flood
of applications. All aircraft plants
were cooperating in rushing out
the most desperately needed arti-
cles Of defense. In the new propor-

Survivors

 Life Rafts
B Members of Sunk U. 5. Ship Arrive al Cdrib-
 bean Port

A CARIBBEAN SEA PORT, June 6-Twenty-three survivors of U s. merchantmen which was tor pedoed in the Gulf of Mexico on May arrived here today full of praise for the life rafts which saved their lives when the ship settled beneath the waves only 12 minutes after being struck.
 The sinking was announced by the Navy Department in Wash ington. Five members of the crew are missing and are believed dead as a result of the encounter with a large German sub two days out of Gulf port.
 For those who managed to dive from the laundering boat, the new type of rafts specified for use by the Bureau of Navigation were Godsend. The ships heavy list to starboard and it's fast settling move ment prevented any use of life boats. But the rafts were easily cut loose at the deck slides and plunged to the water where the swimming men could easily chamber aboard.
