1t was silly to want to keep
the letter to open when she was
alone. There wasn't any reason
Why she should, even though it
contained an invitation. Beth was
sure of that. Perhaps that was
the reason why she stood there,
looking like a schoolgirl under
the lnquiring eyes of a parent, and
held the letter in her hand as if
she didn't want to open it. 1t
wasn't that word from Dennis

had taken her to dinner.
Andrea said, well! Aren't you
going to open it?'
what? Yes, oh, yes, of course. %
Beth ripped the end of the en-
velope and slipped the single sheet
out. Without reading it, without
thinking of what she was doing,
she held it out to Andrea.
II don't want to read your let

curiosity getting the better of her,
she spoke in more friendly tone.
"You read it and then read it to
me. You know I'm always inter-
ested in any news from Dennis. -

actly,' Beth said, not raising her
head. 'He just says he he is
coming to Washington. He's
he's going to make headquarters

''No." Beth put the letter back
into the envelope and put it in her
purse. He says he has a date

That's sweet of Dennis to give
you good time. I told you you'd
like him. Hadn't we better GO
down to dinner now?"
Beth felt as if she had been
holding a firecracker in her hand,
touched the punk to it and it had
fizzled out. But she knew her par
ticular firecracker and it was like
ly to go off at an unexpected time.
She was not going to be deceived
by Andrea's unusual acceptance of
the situation. At least that was
what she thought.
Andrea didn't say anything more
about Dennis, except to ask when
he was coming.
Beth said, Friday" and that
was that.
Andrea was a subdued girl that
week. There were other letters
from Jim, but she kept them to

CABLECARS RESUME

The only railway in the world
which has its own special
theme song has resumed Op-
Grafton here and thousands Of
Neapolitans are again hum
ming the familiar strains of
"FunicuIi, Funicula.''
The city's tiny cliff-climbing
funicular cars have been re-
stored to ACTIVITY AFTER TWO
months of war-induced idle
ness.
Naples, built mainly on hills
too steep for ordinary street
cars, has six cog-wheel rail-
ways to carry traffic from the
downtown shopping district to
the outlying residential Sec
tons. A seventh climbs the
abrupt slopes OF Mt. vesu-
vius.
Before they were expelled
from Naples, the Germans
wrecked the city's power
plants and damaged the funi-
culars' machineru.
British and American Army
engineers, working with AMG
officials, have finally put them
back in service. Until today,
a civilian has been walking as
much as four miles daily, as
cending and descending the
steep hills enroute to stores
and offices.
The song, "Funiculi, Funi-
cula," was written in 1880 to
celebrate the appearance of the
first Of the cablecars.
