travagance, an English brand. that he
had adopted on London furlough at
the beginning of the war. You couldn't
get them at many stores here. He
smoked them on special occasions -
and surely this was special occasion.
As he crumpled the package and
tossed it into the water, he was plan
ming his next meeting with Smitty.
There hadn't been much time for fixing
up date at the last minute - he had
had to call taxi to get him back in
time to catch the last launch When he
said good-by at the Officers Club, only
two things had been definitely estab-
lished between them: that he loved
Smitty and that Smitty loved him.
He hadn't even asked her first name,
or her home address; but that, thank
goodness. she had written down for
him as he was stepping into the taxi
He'd write to her tonight. before he
went to sleep. tell her some of the
things he'd forgotten.

- Like persistent phrase from hit
parade tune, the words repeated themselves
over and over in the still slightly -dazed head
of Joshua Wilson, 1t. G.g.) U.SCG-R. He
had said them aloud for the first time only
a few hours ago on the blacked-out porch of
the Officers Club to girl named Smitty,
a little girl with hair like waxed mahogany
But at that time he hadn't kissed her yet
He had known her only one hour and fifty
minutes by the luminous dial of his wrist
watch They had looked at it together, be-
cause it hadn't seemed possible that they
could have come 50 far in such short time.
They had told each other so much: About
his dog, Punch, who was in the Army now,
and her dog, Maidie, whose brother was a
Seeing Eye and her cousin who had just mar
ried Fighting Frenchman. and his brother
who was flying in Africa - or maybe Asia by

was cheeseburgers and black COW,

les, sir, it certainly was the real
thing! As he sat far forward in the
launch that was cutting through dark water
to the dim outline of the destroyer anchored
in midstream, he pulled deeply on his pre-
cious next-to-last cigarette and tried to put
this new feeling into words. But it defed him.
Many girls had come and gone in his life,
blondes and not-so-blondes, brunettes and
mouse -coloreds - who were not mice at all.
And with many of them he had been lifted
to heights of - well, quick enthusiasm,
which he described as having it bad"
This time, though, it was different He
wasn't excited at all, just comfortably con-
tented.
That was how Josh knew it was real -
for keeps With this finished feeling inside
him, he knew he would never again want to
look around with wolfsh eye. He knew, too,
that he didn't have to rush things with
Smitty bowl her over because she'd felt the
same way and hadn't minded telling him so
She had made no bones about it later as he
kissed her good night in the privacy of
