Perfectly groomed. Clever as
possible, even if she did have a
warped moral sense. But Ed

that Jimmy was mistaken in his

help him discover her!

That had meant, plainly, that
Pat herself had a chance to win
Jimmy's love. In spite Of Lor-

gagged to him.
Unfounded as that lppe was, it
held power in Pats mind, and
she looked eagerly for the time
when she should be with Jimmy

Ed Bryan, as planned, brought
Jimmy and Lorraine to join Pat

Lin Yutangs book, Between Tears and Laughter" (John Day: $25O) is of interest, therefore, be- cause 1t presents a positive contri- button from the store of Chinese political philosophy to the vexed question of world peace.
 The author points out that the peace conferences must be guided by deep draughts of wisdom ma tured through four thousands years by Asiatic thought and experience in learning how man must deal with man."
 Lin Yutang presents at work to stir up our ideas, change our mo- tions, rouse our laughter and, most important, tell the American read CTS about the tried and civilized points of view of the Chinese.
 The book, by its subject matter and deep undercurrents of philo- sophie thoughts, is not escapist read- ing, but the wisdom and sincerity of the author will penetrate the readers thinking as Allied victories bring peace nearer to reality.

Five shllings (about 85 cents) is absolute tops for dinner out. It is not cricket to eat more than one meal and few people abuse the rule.
 There aren't many dining cars on the Australian railroads and when meal time comes, the train stops and the passengers run, do not walk, to the station lunch counter. There is never enough food, but is there on any American railroad diner these days?

 Sooner or later every correspon- dent in the fight zones is asked : Are you drafted for this job? When the correspondent boasts that he chose the work, there is a standard answer from the American soldier: You must be nuts!
 One of the favorite tricks of re- treating Japanese in New Guinea was to pull the pins of hand gren- ades and shove the grenades into the sides of trenches or fox holes they gave up. The dirt held the catch in place until an unsuspect- ing American soldier dislodged it with his heel. The Yankees now have that one whipped.

 The Yankee soldier in Australia hates ram, lamb, sheep or mutton and whenever Mary's little friend approaches the table, the dish is greeted by chorus of "Baa-a-a-a." Lamb is the favorite meat in the Commonwealth except with the Australian food line, including a new one on him boiled pumpkin But cn't you get that in New Eng land?

 One of the favorite yarns which went the rounds-Five Australian soldiers met three Tanks on the street. How about fight?" yelled the Diggers. The Tanks vetoed, claimed the 5-3 odds weren't right. "Okay, Bud," said one of the Aussies, "1ll fight on your side"
