stupidity bungled.
She walked around to the one
entrance open before $3.50. She held
her hat in her hands and made the
rounds. She couldn't wait to see
her departments. There was some
thing about the sight of the neat,
well-stocked counters that gave
her a sense Of quiet pleasure. She
guessed it must be the way she sat-
isfied her housewives instincts.
Everyone knew she was due back
today: her departments were in
perfect order. She stopped and
chatted for a few minutes with
each buyer; they discussed the
volume Of business, the way sales
had gone, personnel problems. The
news of her marriage had evident
ly reached the ears Of the gossip
hounds. 1t was mentioned, she was
given best wishes, but with reser-
vations. She wondered how Jake

hair, powdered her nose. Someone
ought to discover a powder that
would cover up circles under your
eyes," she told herself. Hers showed

Hello, David. It's good to be

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

JAKE STARTED playing the
piano down at Het's about mid
night. He hadn't been particularly
anxious to play. 1t had been nearly
a month since he had touched the
piano. At first his fingers felt stiff
and rusty.
I'm terrible" he said with a
troubled smile. I'D better wait I'M
til I've had a chance to. Timber up"
He started to get up. Het was be-
side him Immediately.
Don't be ridiculous" she said,
putting her hand on his shoulder
and forcing him back to the piano
stool. 1--WE all know how it is. You'll
be all right in a few minutes. It's
a long time since we've all been to-
gether like this. We've missed you.
Please don't disappoint us"
Jake didn't resist her. He played
a Bach prelude. AS the measured
rhythm rang out, Jake's expression
changed from annoyance to con-
tentment.
Het was large, but she had a
quiet step. She silently went around
the room putting out all the lights
except the one by the piano. The
crowd which had been raucous all
evening knew when to be still. They
sat on the floor in a semi-circle
around Jake. Het dropped down be-
side Kay.
Jake hit his stride. Everyone lost
track of the time. Kay,s sensations
were difficult for her to analyze.
The music stirred her in a new way
because she loved Jake so deeply.
1t suddenly seemed a strange and
marvellous thing that Jake should
have this power. She forgot she
was tired, that she had to be up
early, that her bags were unpacked.
She was as awed as everyone else.
Suddenly the telephone rang stri-

Hang that woman; I'll really
have to do something about her."
Kay said impatiently.
Jake got up from the piano,
stretched his legs. shes right,
honey" He looked at his watch.
Good Lord, it's nearly half past
three. Why didn't someone stop
me-" He ran his fingers through his
hair, yawned, rubbed his eyes.
Everyone got up, lights were
switched on, cigarets lighted.
How about a cup Of coffee and a
sandwich ?" Het asked. Kay looked
at Jake.

UNITY AT HOME;
VICTORY ABROAD

Our slogan Is: Unity at Home
Victory Abroad. I think wherev-
err we live in this great Country
we must find a way to give to Ill
Of our citizens the essential thing
that spell freedom in a great de-
mocracy, because only thus can we
justify the sacrifices Of our boys
throughout the world. Here at
home there are specific things
that we can dove can make un
our minds that we will work with
any other human being who does
his daily work beside US, and that
we will not inquire as to his race
or religion, only as to whether he's
doing an honest job. We can maze
up our minds that we will behave
with courtesy to thost about US.
and ask only that they will behave
in the same way and allow us TO
go about our business undisturbed
We can decide that in pblic convey
ances where each one Of Us pays
for a seat we will not look askance
at our ~neighbors, no matter what
his race or his religion. This
same rule holds good in places Of
public entertainment which are OPP
en- to all citizens. and where we all
have paid our money and 60 in on
an equal basis
What we do in our homes is an
individual thing. and each enc Of
Us can decide for ourselves. How
ever, if we observe the rules Of
kindness and courtesy at all times
to all men 1 think we will go far
toward making our own City a
good place in which to live, and Of
such fair repute that we need new
