The doctor confirmed Paula's

letter, and his indirect mention of
the baby was a stern admonition
10 take good care of herself. There
was only one Paula, he wrote, and
the world was overrun with brats.
Paula's neighbors were mostly
family people. Paula found herself
no longer merely saying good
morning, but stopping to listen TO
the latest exploits of their off,

She had several friends.
She thought Bill would be de-

Their honeymoon period was over.
Now was the time 10 establish

children would grow up.

HAPPY 6 MONTHS

Then Paula came along, and
certainly his looks didn't seem TO
bowl her over. Did Paula remem-
Der how she had snapped him up?
So when she said she loved him,
he believed her. He had been
happier those first six months
than he had ever been in his life.
When Paula wired him, about
the baby, all of his old doubts
and fears returned. Just now,
when he looked at his daughter.
his only feeling was fear that the
unhappiness of his childhood was
going to begin all over again. He
was going TO live in a house with
two women who would set them
selves against him.

muttered
He felt her stiffen. He looked
at her face. II was turned toward
that mob, not up at him. She
looked as if she liked them, as
if she were happy to have their
home overrun with them. Bill got
through the party somehow.
They had their first quarrel
then. Bill said he was sick OF
hearing about that darned brat.
Had Paula married him just 10

wanted a house so she could have
a place TO entertain in? Paula
had changed
After that night, their relation
ship was strained
During the long dull evenings,
Paula became aware of Bills I'M
communicative nature. She real
lied that they had never had a
real talk, either before or since
their marriage. In the first
months they had only made low
ing protestationS. In the first
months they had only made sar-

Usually reliable sources
predicted Thursday that
work on 4 second large Navy
air field in Imperial Valley
will begin in the llOltville
area on January Is.
Although officials in charge of
the Ell Centre Marine air station
would not confirm that contract
had been let for construction Of the
field, they disclosed that an an
nouncement from their headquar-
tiers related to it would probably
be made the early part of next
week.
The Navy men said that they had
received nothing official from the
18th Naval District main office in
San Diego regarding actual con-
Struction.
Several weeks ago it was deter
mined that the proposed field near
Holtville would be larg enough to
accommodate personnel of 1900
men. This would take it out of the
classification of a minor field and
put it on a par with the Ell Centre
Marine Air station near Seeley.
1t has been known that survey
crews have been at work at the
proposed site of the Holtvill field
prior to actual ground breaking.
Plans are also being laid for set
ting up headquarters at the field
for a ersident naval officer to be
in charge of construction.
