With most women. even Russian, being a
mother means more than theories or ideas"
WHEN Miss Saboda had finished with the
cable she looked up inquiringly.
What do you Think" Wynn asked.
81 think you'll find it difficult to get enough
evidence for feature story, Mr.. Wynn.
She seemed so certain that he said, "I'll
have the story on the wire by tomorrow noon.
I've been wondering, Miss Slaboda, do you
know an average Russian grl?"
She pulled slowly at the cuff on her mitten
"Yes, believe So
Fine" he said. Il want you to get me a
tonight"
She was silent a minute, and Wynn no
ticed puzzled look in her eyes. Then she
smiled. I'm afraid that an average Russian
girl would hesitate to tell you about her heart
with another woman present. You see - I'll
have to come along for the interview.
1t was the triumphant way she said it that
made Ben feel sudden, unaccountable re-
sentiment that she thought he couldn't get
along without her He said sharply, The
three of us can have dinner together, and
then III be on my own. know little Russian
by now, enough to get by
She walked toward the door, then said
quietly, "All right, Mr. Wynn. Of course
I'll have her for you at eight O'Clock at the
Sturgeon Restaurant. It's little place. Go

glass, Good luck" She raised her glass, too.
Loud laughter came from the soldiers
table. They both looked back and saw husky
soldier standing by the table with a girls
hat on the side of his shaven head. With
his hands on his hips he pranced across the
floor, making comical faces.
Then the string orchestra twanged spir-
tied Cossack tune, and the soldiers pulled
the laughing girls up to dance.
WYNN was about to say that boys were
alike everywhere, but instead he adjusted the
lead in his pencil and looked back at the pad.
What you've told me so far is fine, Miss
Slaboda. Anything else?"
She cleared her throat and said very slowly,
''She longs for home and children, and
good husband who'll laugh at her gently;
and every night she prays for peace for her
country and herself and for people every
where" She hestated, then said, "She will
love man, though he ignores her and doesn't
know she's alive. She will be loyal to him
above all else, if he loves her; if he doesn't,
she'll pretend that he does. She's so jealous
she'll lie and connive just to keep him from
talking with another woman about love"
Then suddenly she was crying silently,
with her head bowed. Wynn stared across at
her unbelievingly, his heart beating too fast.
He knew that he would never write this story
- it would have to be written with more than
words, after the war

~ CORRESPONDENT BEN WYNN got the
cablegram from his editor back in
~ Chicago at six O'Clock, Moscow time,
Just as Miss Slaboda, his secretary-inter-
prefer, was getting up from her desk by the
window and putting on her fur hat and nit
tens to 60 home.
Wynn read the cable by the door of his
Office room there in the Metropole Hotel.
Then re-read it. frowning: URGENT 1900

During his ten months in Moscow, Ben
Wynn had come to rely great deal on the

on around her. unnoticed.'
She paused and watched Wynn, intent on
his notes; then she said, "She works every
dav in the war effort, and on nights when
she's not so exhausted, she falls asleep after
dinner She writes love letters to lonely SOL
diers at the front - soldiers she's never met,
who will never live to see her..
The rush of cold air from the opened front
door made Wynn turn around. Three SOL
diers came inside with three girls, shaking off
snow, laughing. They trooped noisiy to
table in the rear. Members of the orchestra
filed through side door with their instru-
ments, clattered up on the small platform,

Ben Wynn looked at his watch
again. "She's late," he said.
Would you forgive an aver
age Russian girl for being late,
MIR. Wynn" Natasha said quiet
ly. "She doesn't understand
Americans very we'll and she's
afraid of them. She'll be here.
She won't lose her nerve ="
WYNN felt self conscious, and
for some reason a little guilty.
"She can be as late as she
wants. Let's order a drink"
He asked for vodka.
Wynn got up and went to his
overcoat for more matches.
When he sat down again Nat
asha had taken off her fur hat
and slipped her coat back on to
the chair. She sat there, a little
pale, with her hands in her lap,
her soft brown hair brushed up
off her sweet face. She smiled
and put her hand to the throat
of her high-necked blouse, then
back into her lap again.
Wynn said, "It's too cold in
here without your coat" He
thought, surprised. "She's very

She had been quick to
understand his honesty,
his desire to write about

had quickly perceived,
too, that Wynn, though

But Natasha had said,

of it as her baby's farm.
