that they had much to say to each
other.
"After your period of service is
up she said, well have to make
plans for that. Have you thought
what you'd do? Where we'd live?''
Jim said he thought there'd be
plenty of time to think about that
later. Meanwhile they could be
married at once.
"And live here?" Andrea asked.

you'll be transferred to some camp

Jim ruffled has haid with his
big hand and said he'd live in a

Andrea kissed him lingeringly,

been going to say, recalled it, and
said. 1--WE got lot of faith in
you, Jim. I think you've got a

''What you need is someone to

Jim caught her to him almost
roughly. "You could be anything
you wanted, darling. l don't make
very well with the words, but you
and l are two people who were
meant to be together. If We could
not speak the same language, we'd
know that. If we were good or
bad. rich or poor, anything. it
wouldn't change it. I don't know
how to explain that, but that's the
way I feel"
IT feel it, too" she said Won
deringly. "And I don't want to
explain it. Also. 1 don't ever want
to be owned, Jim. but if anyone
were ever going to own me, guess
it would have to be you"
"And you don't want that?'

The ticket seller gave h r g
quick appraising look as he said

Andrea could feel his eyes fol
lowing her away from the window
in the same seemingly unconscious
way that she was aware of other
eyes upon her in the railroad sta

know this is the very first trip I've
ever taken away from Pennington.

she was prepared to give the ap'

familiarity for she had lived these
experiences in dreams-With one
great difference: she would not
have been alone Dennis would
have been with her.
Some of the calm OF her smooth
brow under her rev Wide-brirn-
med green hat was momentarily
ruffled as she thought of Dennis,
and she caught her lip between
her teeth as her eyes fell on the
row of telephone booths directly
to her left.
Resolutely she, turned has back
to them and marched across the
station waiting room. Her heels
made sharp little taps on the stone,
reflections of the stacatto trend of
her thoughts. which were a blend
of injury, anger and Illustration,
all singly and collectively directed
at Dennis.
1t wasn't as if she'd actually told
the truth TO him. She'd just been
sort of trying him OUT that night
in February when she said, Oar
ling, Jim Ronald has asked me to
marry him."
Are you going to-" Dennis had
asked, with no expression to show
her how that news must have at
fected him.
Il don't know" she'd an
swered, truthfully perhaps. but she
didn't tell him that Jim thought
she was engaged to him.
THAT was in February, n d
now it's March, and haven
heard from him since that night! -
She said it out loud, and the man
at the information desk said, Il

She had another half hour.
Dennis seldom left his office be-
fore six.
She got a coin out of her purse
and went into a telephone booth
and called the Archer mills.
Mr.. Archer, the operator told
her, was in Duluth and was not
expected back until April 3.
Andrea thanked her, went out
and bought a newspaper and sat
down to wait for her train. She
opened the paper, but she couldn't
concentrate on the print. There
was nothing as exciting in black
and white as the conflicting things
that had her all stirred up inside.

She hadn't been able to hide her
wild anticipation from Beth. 10 be

When her train drew INTO the
little station at Abingdon, she look
ed at herself in the long mirror
at the end of the coach. Beige
suit brown alligator pumps and
brown suede gloves, her w / q E.
brimmed green felt hat settled
back on her dark head. Would

Then she saw him waiting for
her and she forgot Dennis when
Jim's arms closed around her and
Jim's murnuring lips were close
to her ear.
He'd hired car to take her to
the house of some new friends
where she was to spend the week
end, and when they got IN, their
hands clasped tightly, but they had
little to say to each other, which
was not strange.
Andrea was glad for the pres
ence OF strangers at the Thomp-
sons house. Betinna Thompson,
Andrea's hostess, was having six
or seven others in for cocktails and
buffet supper-because she was
sure the feeling of strangeness
with Jim would wear OIL aItef d
little while. But it didn't-not that
night.
On Saturday morning. Betinna
brought her guests breakfast IN
on a tray and the two girls talked,
and then Andrea began to make
up little talk about how she and
Jim had got engaged. We've been
in love for three years. she said,
expanding pleasantly nuder the
romantic interest of her hostess.
And so, self-convinced, when Jim
came for her that afternoon, she
had become different person,
rather dewy-eyed and completely
at ease with Jim.
The effect lasted, anc when they

Studs for Eyeglasses

People who wear corrective eye
glasses as well as those who wear
goggles and other protective eye
glasses know how distressing it is
to have the lenses become cloudy
and blurred. Smudges impair the
usefulness of glasses, and constant
removal and wiping is nuisance.
According to a well-known New
York optician, glasses should be
cleaned every morning with soap
and hot water. Do this, he says, and
they will seldom need cleaning dur
ing the day. Rinse them well and
dry them with tissue paper or
soft, clean, absorbent cloth

Do you know the new regulations
on packages sent to men in the
service? Here they are: You can
send packages to soldiers any,
where in the U. S., although there
are now Post Office restrictions on
packages to overseas Army men;
and you can send packages to men
in the Navy, Coast Guard, and
Marines, wherever they are. And
when you send that package from
home, remember-the gift men in
the service always appreciate is
cigarettes. And the favorite with
men in the Army, Navy, Coast
Guard, and Marines is Camel
(based on actual sales records in
Post Exchanges and Canteens).
So stop in at your local dealer
today-and mail him a carton Of
Camels.-Adv.

Lynn Says:

Salad Notes: Ingredients for a
salad should be large enough to
retain their identity. It's not a
good idea to hide vegetable the
family does not like by chopping
it very fine. Shred, but do not
chop vegetables.
Simplest salads are the most
attractive. A salad should taste
as good as it looks.
Toss ingredients lightly, never
stir ambitiously. Dressing need
not cover every piece. Salad
green's should always be clean,
crisp, fresh.
Vary salads from day to day.
Try new combinations of color,
vegetables and fruit.
