decisive phase Of the battle.
 A few experts suggested that if Rommel found resistance he might not take his attack to full strength scale at once.
 But the general belief was that he had decided his strength as eom- pared to that Of the Allies was as great as lt was likely to be and that a failure to follow up his at. tack to general offensive propor- tions would be an admission Of defeat.
 Remain on Defensive
 Gen. Alexander. commanding the Allied forces, w2s expected to re. main on the defensive for the pres- ent. hoping his new dispositions would be strong enough Co wear down the Axis tank forces.
 No doubt was entertained here that lf Alexander succeeded in stopping Rommel definitely. he would counter-attack with an his strength to determine whether it was possible to drive the Axis forces from Egypt, into which they had penetrated 250 miles, and even pro- ceed back Into Libya to regain con- trol of the shores which mean con- trol of the sea lanes between the African coast and Crete and Greece.
 But it was conceded that if Alex ander's El Alamein line were smashed. there would be little chance 10 form another line short of Alexandria, and the loss Of suez would be regarded more as a proba- bility than a possibility.
 Before Rommel then would be Palestine and Syria, and the hope of closing in a great plneers Of which the German armies in the Russian Caucasus would form the other claw.

Peggy seemed Just as full Of
spirits and energy as she had
been all day, Nothing seemed TO
dampen her Her plans had not
gone as we'll as they might have
done. She had stecrcd Nigel
to the view where she expected
TO find her brother and Fay.
They had eventually found
them, but not nearly as close to
one another as Peggy would have
liked. They were sitting on a
rock at the top Of hill, appar-
emily engaged in a quite ordiu-
airy conversation
1t would have been better had
Michael worked as fast as she
did herself, but that couldn't be
helped Perhaps he was really
in love and that always slowed
things up, reflected Peggy.
At dinner Fay had told the
rest Of the company about
Michaels idea and they had all
received it with enthusiasm cx-
cept Badly, who interrupted at
every vital point with a grunt
that registered disgust.
Peggy perceived his general
frame of mind and whispered to
Fcrdy, who obliglngly specded
up the replenishmcut of Baldy's
glass, and shortly the grmtS be
came less homeopathic.

fight with? That's a real job,
that is
Both soldiers sprung 10 Fay's
defense with such a tongue
Iashing that even the irrepres-
sible Badly couldn't bear up I'M
der it. He retired to a neutral
corner TO nurse wounded feelings
and a fresh drink, but Myra,
Fcrdy Fay and Ferdy's aunt
entered the ring, giving Badly a
lecture on the morale boosting
importance of good entertain
ment for soldiers that left him
with no defense save suffering.
Looking about for escape, he
thought he saw il in Peggy s
miSChievous wink. After al, -
she said there is something in
what Badly says-even though
Id love the Concert Party idea
because it looks like a grand
chance for me-
Peggy looked prettily petu-
liant, wondering If her latest
strategy was having its effect on
the Cornercd Snowman, or if he
was too miserable to be influcnc-
cd by anything less subtle than
falling safe
But Badly, darling" her ac-
cent on the second word might
have been gibe or genuine
friendlineSs. Badly, do be
sweet and play a sort Of game
with us.
Myra cooked her head Suspi-
cIouSly but Peggy rushed on be-
fore her sister could intervene.
