feed everything-themselves, their
homes and their children to their
country-and how tired they get
standing for hours and hours in a
canteen serving coffee and sand
wiches to soldiers, and what back
breaking work driving an ambu-
lance is.
why, my dear" they say, I'm
on my job all the time. I'm at
home so little the children scarcely
know me now. 1 have forgotten
there are such things as bridge and
cocktail parties and beauty shops;
and as for my hands, well, l hate to
think Of what my manicurist would
say if she saw them"
There is no denying there is need
of WomenS nursing, need of Wom-
ems tears in war, as the old poem
used to say, and it is a fine and
splendid and brave thing for the
women who have no young chill
dren and no domestic responsible
ties to give their time and energies
to the defense of their country.
They do fill an important part in
the war economy. Many a hungry
rookie will remember to his dying
day the good hot meals some wom-
ems auxiliary fed him. Many
homesick young draftee goes on his
way heartened and comforted by a
little sympathetic talk with gray
haired woman who looked like his
mother Thousands of men have
the curse of boredom taken off their
stay in camp by the dances and
amusementS that women arrange for
them.
In unnumbered factories millions
of women are doing mems work
and releasing men for fighting. No
other factor is more important In
keeping up the morale of an army
than the enthusiasm and the burn
ing patriotism that women pour
into it. They wave the flags that
make men fight on to victory.
But when women have young
children the fighting line for them
is not on the front, but in the
rear, and they best serve their
country when they keep the home
fires burning. A bungalow apron
is not as nifty costume as a
old-braided khaki uniform, but the
woman who wears that, and who has
kept her family together during all
this upset wild wartime; who has
disciplined her youngsters and
watched over them and kept them
safe, has done as patriotic a JOB
and is of more value to Uncle Sam
than if she had piloted a flying
fortress or broken a riveting record.
For what is the use of saving
country if We have not saved our
children first? Why should we fight
and die for our country if We are
going to turn it over to hoodlums
and wastrels, as we will do if we let
our youngsters run wild in their
formative years? Our future lies
in the hands of the mothers OF our
land. In the end they must save
us. if we are saved.
l leave this thought with the
women who apologize for not being
on more war committees. Their
battle is at home. Their fight is
with their own children. And If
they rear fine sons and daughters
they have given their country the
best gift they can offer.
II they fail-well, not all the
plaudits in the world will compen-
safe them for knowing that if they
had stayed at home and watched
over John he might not have gotten
in with that criminal gang, and if
they had taken care of Mamie when
she was so young and ignorant she
might not have been one of those
girls who are creeping in the night
to the doors of the Volunteers of
America

Dear Mrs. Post: Will you please
tell me whether a woman wearing
a hat and an afternoon dress, and
making an address in a church,
should wear gloves?
Answer-If she were speaking for
the briefest few moments with no
notes, she might perhaps keep her
gloves on. But it is very unusual
to see any one address an audience
wearing gloves.

Bv Emily Post

IL " II "HV OSt
A young business executive sug-
gested that I tell my readers Of
an annoying office mistake. AS 1t
happens, it is one very easy to un-
derstand, but one that no one has
ever told me about before. Said he,
Nothing embarrasses me so much
as to have the clerk in the outer
Office telephone me, oh, Mr.. Jones,
Mr.. Seller is here to see you This
makes it practically impossible to
refuse to see Seller without being
personally rude"
To this I can agree that if the
clerk said instead-as she should.
Mr.. Seller is here to see Mr.. Jones"
an answer could be given that Mr..
Jones is in conference, which is
rather more impersonal than say
ing. Mr.. Jones is too busy to be
disturbed
Dear Mrs. Post: Is one supposed
to pay the travelling expenses and
hotel accommodations Of a chap
eron? In my particular case I
asked a young aunt of mine to go
with me to stay for a week end
near Camp x, where my boy friend
Bill is stationed. He is not my
fiance, but I've known him all
through school and if the war hadn't
come We might have become en-
gagged. And must we invite my aunt
to 60 with us everywhere we go
together? Three at table for every
meal is a very lop-sided number
Can you agree?
Answer-That three is a crowd"
is scarcely an original remark, and
the position of the third person is
not exactly amusing is not new
thought either. So it Is for this
reason perhaps that the chaperon
rarely pays for herself. In your
case, if your aunt is very we'll OF,
I think she might be the one to pay.
But if you have wherewithal Of your
own then I think the obligation is
yours. I also think she should give
you plenty of chances to see him
without a continuous audience. At
lunch or dinner or If going to the
movies, maybe Bill could ask-as an
occasional fourth-a friend Of his
from camp.

libby managed better smile
this time. for Marg was a dear
to try so hard to put a cheerful
front on everything. Poor, darling
Marg, whose OWL he lrt was any
thing but light and cheerful; she
had received the tragic news that
Captain Mercer had been among
those brave men who had put up
such a gallant fight at Pearl Har-
Dor. Captain John Mercer had been
one of the country's first war
heroes. He was credited with hav-
ing shot down two Jap planes and
probably Gripping several others.
He had conducted himself with
outstanding bravery and valor. His
name would go down in history.
Marg's John had made the supreme
sacrifice-he had given his life
that democracy and freedom might
live.
Marg had not shed any tears;
she had not grieved. She had ac-
cepted this news with quiet dig
nifty. She said that she knew that
was the way John would have
wanted to go. She did not think OF
him as dead. II know" she told
libby, that he has his wings now

ty. She was wonderful TO me when
the news came about John. Not one
word OF sarcasm or the like. She
couldn't have been more under
standing and sympathetic had she

libby did smile at this. Steena
In the role OF Marg's mother. But
she knew what Marg meant, for
libby had had visit from steena,
too. They had had long heart-to-
heart talk that had cleared up
many things between them. libby
had been right In thinking that
Steena had courage, OF her own
kind. It had taken courage for
Steena to tell libby all that she
had confessed, that she had used
Tommy as a foil, that the engage
ment between herself and Tommy
had only been a part OF cam
paign, that 1t was all off and over
with.
libby had not told Steena about
the miracle, but she had thanked
her for coming to see her and for
all the things that she had said.
When Steena had got up to go.
libby had asked her IL she would
do something for her. She had not
given her reasons. She had jus
asked 1t as a simple favor.
Steena had said she would be
glad to do anything she could. She
had said it almost humbiy, eagerly.
libby slipped the ring of her
finger, the magnificent pearl ring,
with its surrounding sapphires,
that did not belong on her hand,
that had never seemed to belong
there. II want you to keep this for
me-until l come home" she said.
She did not have to give the obvi-
Gus reasons, that such a ring was
out Of place in a hospital, even a
risk, since it might be misplaced or
stolen. Her real reason for asking
Steena, instead of anyone else,
libby kept to herself.
No doubt Steena thought the ring
could have been put in the hospi-
tai vault, or entrusted to another
person, anyone, it would seem,
rather than herself. Yet she was
pleased that libby would entrust
it to her. 1t must mean that every
thing was all right between them.
She accepted the ring, saying she
would take care Of 1t until libby
asked for it again.
But libby did not intend to ask
for it, ever. She had other inten-
tions in the back Of her head. They
might work out, and again they
might not, but they were worth
trying anyway. 1t was not cam
paign that libby planned, as
Steena had; but being feminine
libby had her own way Of trying
to make things pan out" as they
really should, now that this was
not, as she, and Tommy and
Steena had thought, the end Of
everything.

any means, since that something
had happened that Steena had pre-.
dicted. Steena, too, had been right
in a way.

CHAPTER FoRTY-sIX


TT IS NOTHING short OF MIR
lcle," Marg said, as had Tommy,
10 libby when she came to see her
In the hospital. Marg's plain face
was alight, as Tommy's had been,
It her Joy that her friend was
live and as she expressed 1t, AL
h one piece" you might have
been burned to death, darling-it
makes me shudder Just TO think OF
It! You must have had a rabbits
foot with you, honey, or the like.
Anyway, you're here-al in one
piece-and that Is all that mat
ters."
Tommy had said that, too-that
that was all that mattered; every
one was saying that to libby. She
did not feel that way. She was
thankful, OF course, that she had
escaped severe injury, or even a
horrible death. She would have
been a very foolish girl, had she
not realized that this had indeed
been a miracle, but she was trou-
bled about the silver ship, the beau
tiful silver ship that was no more,
that would never fly again. II only
she could have saved it.
You're not to worry about the
plane," Marg said, as did everyone
else, in talking with libby. Every
one seemed to sense that she was
worrying about it a great deal
"Wayne COPYRIGHT surely has II
covered with insurance. Even If he
hasn't, he will be so thankful that
you are safe that it won't make
any difference. What's an old ship
darling, compared with you?"
libby knew that Marg was en-
aeavoring to cheer her up, so she
managed a faint smile, but she
was not cheered, not in respect tc
the ship. 1t had not been an ole
one, but a very expensive one, q
ship that could not be replaced now
with the country at war, thus
making its loss even more momen'
tous.
libby did not know whether
Wayne carried insurance on the ship
or not. He still was out of town
for which she was thankful. Maybe
she ought to be ashamed to fee
that way, but she could not helI
1t. She dreaded to think Of his re-
turn, not just because of the silver
ship, but because Of the othel
things that she must tell him. O.
course, she would have to tel
Wayne about that other miracle. I
would not be fair not to tell him
for she could not marry Wayne
now that her heart had spoken.
Neither Marg nor anyone elst
knew about that, and so they nat
urally thought that it was only thu
silver ship that libby was troubled
about, which was why they KEEP
trying to reassure her that its loss
though serious, was not SO impor

Wholesale Market Activity Unoboted
Despite SIockening in Store Volumes

Orders for spring coats and suits
had reached such unprecedented
volume for this time of the yeal
that some manufacturers had
stopped taking new business. De-
liveries of four to six weeks were
now usual.
Recorders on winter coats con-
tinued to come in but little mer-
chandise was available. The spring
apparel market at Chicago ended at
the best sales records in history,
with coats and suits especially
strong and only dresses showing
some lag.
China and gift shows in Chicago
and San Francisco produced the
biggest volume in gift wares, partic-
ularly novelty items. Furniture
demand, although still spotty, had
picked up especially in upholstered
goods and bedding. Activity in
housewares was featured by rec
ord-breaking Army order for cook
ing utensils.
Wholesale dry goods lines were
being drawn on heavily by both big
and small retailers as supplies
dwindled in first hands. Lines con-
tinued to be withdrawn from civilian
markets as manufacturers concen-
trated on Army orders, which in
cluded during the latest week 3000,-
900 units of protective underwear,
and 100000 cotton filled comforters."
