The little garden grew
to mammoth proportions

''Pfui with the garden" said Lily. ANY
way" she added complacently, 1--we pulled
it out of the red"
Jason raised skeptical eyebrow.
''It's raining in Massachusetts,, said Lily.
Il phoned Celeste to tell her about the job
for Pierre 1t was the green thumb did it.
Both ways"
Take it easy" Jason advised. Il have to
get used to you again"
YoU see the garden wouldn't have paid
what / thought it would in the beginning,
even if it had turned out as well as it's going
to now that it's raining So made deal to
cover it with your friend Mitchell
What kind of deal? Why with MITCHELL"
why, because he's the head of that big
chain-store system.

Jason inquired cautiously.
Eyes, of course. He was the very man. You
know, when somebody's lucky at raising
plants they say she has green thumb. Well.
l got mine in can of paint. And then l
thought it would be a good idea to put out
cheap cotton gloves, white, with the thumb
green. talked it over with Pierre - he used
to be glovemaker, and Mr.. Mitchell's giving
him lob, too. He liked the idea - Mr..
Mitchell did mean - because they're hard
up for cheap novelties now. So he gave me
down payment and royalties"
Lily paused for breath. so that's how
got out of the red. And it's enough to start
at the canteen. You know always said those
boys should have good hot meal"
Now, listen," Jason began.
Lily interrupted him. She shuddered. sud-
denly.
Jason" she said solemnly, IF you love
me, promise me one thing!'
Jason came and took her in his arms. What
is it, darling?" he asked tenderly.
Promise me-" Lily chung to him passion
ately. Promise me III never have to smell
fertilizer again as long as ive!' The End
Evening star., 1944-04-16

Mr.. Semphill shook his head gloomily. Even
the magic of Celeste's green thumb failed.
This was an expression the girl never tired
one and all of Man,an's sage pronouncement.
The phrase affected Mr.. Semphill unpleas-
antly. He would spit between his teeth and
mutter Green thumb! Humph!'
He was mutterer anyway, was Mr.. Semp-
hill He was muttering to himself one brazen
afternoon when Lily entered the tool shed.
"Are the big shears in here?" she asked.
Mr. Semphill was repairing the handle of
trowel They're right on the table, Miss
Lily" he said. "I1l get them for you"
Don't bother" said Lily. She leaned. too
far across the table, lost her balance and saved
herself with hand. But her thumb had come
neatly down into a small open pot of paint.
Lily thought for an instant that the thumb
must be broken. Damn she cried.
Mr.. SEMPH1LL cackled. 'Now you'oe got
green thumb Miss Lily"
Lily stared The canvas glove she wore had
four white fingers, but the dripping thumb
was undeniably green. She yanked off the
glove, threw it on the table and inspected
her thumbnail to see if the paint had seeped
through :. Then slowly she picked up the
glove again.
"A green thumb means good luck" she
said to Mr. Semphill.
It'll have to come within the week. or the
crops will be burnt up" he said dourly.
Lily abandoned her intent to do little
pruning and walked slowly up to the house,
an idea burgeoning within her. She stopped
and talked with Pierre, while the idea grew
and strengthened Then she went to the phone
and sent the following telegram to Jason:
Jason darling could you meet me in New
York Thursday stop Am longing unbearably
to see you stop Will be at Ritz stop What
was the name of that man we went up the
Maine coast with on his yacht before he gave
it to the Government Yours forever Lily"
She was packing when Jason's answer
came:
Would undertake to meet you in Berlin
I'm that lost without you stop ]. J. Mitchell
stop Why on earth do you want to know his
name stop Oceans of it Jason"
So Lily tapped joyously along Fifth Ave
nue. and wondered why anybody in his sane
mind would ever leave this dear, beautiful,
comfortable city.
In the cardboard box which she carried. re-
posed an idiotically feminine and expensive
tea gown which she had just purchased.
She hummed beneath her breath all the

every angle carefully, she ordered dinner to
be served in their suite which she knew Jason
would find perfection. Because she assured
herself, not knowing the meaning but liking
the sound of the words, this is practically

had lost ten pounds, developed perpetual
aches in her bones and was heartily sick of the
whole project. But she had spent so much
money, she was dizzy. And just when Jason.
generous to fault, for the first time had asked
her to go easy! So, she had to keep on. She
had to make good, by hook or by crook.
On fair morning late in May, Lily's staff
consisted of Celeste, who labored efficiently,
Murphy, who pottered hopefully, Lily herself
and semi-idiot boy from the village. Il
never saw country without single gar
dener in it," Lily fumed. Il don't understand
why there aren't any gardeners!'
There's old man Semphill," the idiot boy
suddenly vouchsafed. 1t was the first time
he had uttered a sound of his own volition,
and everybody gaped. He was the best gar
dener in these parts" the boy went on. But
he amt worked in five years now. He won't
work for nobody, not him"
rs he alive?" asked Lily.
The boy nodded, and Lily laid down her
hoe She went into the house, shed the farmer
cite coveralls and removed the CRIME of dear
Mother Earth from her person. She put on
pink linen frock and large pink hat, and set
forth to hypnotic Mr. Semphill.
He received her, suspiciously, in his stuffy
little parlor I'm trying to make garden
Lily confded, when the social amenities had
been complied with.
MR. SEMPH1LL said nothing. cts Victory
Garden" said Lily. "And need help. need
help badly, Mr. Semphill'' - she gave him
winning smile - land so I've come to you"
The old man announced in shrill treble
that gardening was gardening, call it Victory
or any other newfangled name, and he'd had
enough of it.
Lily said, '"If you'd only come and advise
me! III get what help can for the hard work
NV maid and will do it if need be" she
added heroically.
Mr.. Semphill countered with snort, and
the conversation Jagged. Then, Just when all
seemed lost, he cackled and pointed with his
stick to lithograph hanging on the wall.
'You favor her a mite!" he commented.
Lily rose and consulted the ithograph 1t
was portrait of Lillian Russell in her prime.
why, I'm not nearly so plump" she ex-
claimed Indignantly.
Berkshire air'll fill you out" said Mr..
Semphill protectively...
And so was ushered in the period After
Semphill 1t was still backbreaking and de-
moralizing, but knowing hand was now on
the wheel and the garden throve.
Lily worked doggedly throughout the
month of June 1t was the dreariest month
she had ever passed She had learned now how
sanguine had been her hopes of even getting
back the money she'd invested. let alone
the glittering sum to boost the canteen's
funds. Increasingly she missed Jason. who
hadn't been able to get away from Washing
ton for even a single week end. And more and

ON THE day before she was to leave for the
Berkshires, Lily sat at her desk and glared
with outraged indignation at her checkbook.
She hadn't balanced it recently, and now with
the thought of tidying up before she departed,
she had given the thing a going over. There's
a mistake somewhere" she said stoutly. She
simply couldn't have spent that much money.
Ofcourse the canning and preserving equip
ment had been much more expensive than
she had imagined. She had gone in heavily
for garden tools, also. The fertilizer bill was
entirely disproportionate, but they said she
might not be able to get any up in the coun-
try. Then, naturally she had to have clothes
suitable for farming. Lily groaned. She'd have
to cut down strenuously somewhere to make
up.
A plaintive sound seeped into her con-
sciousness. Lily turned around Celeste stood
there. Her eyes were red from weeping
What ever is the matter, Celeste?" Lily
asked, little impatiently.
"Oh, Madame, do not know what to do.
/ cannot go away into the country with you
because of my husband"
Il didn't know you had husband! Rosa
never mentioned him.
II know. 1t was - it was no concern of
YOURS, Madame. did not wish to burden you
with my affairs. Poor Pierre - he was badly
wounded when the Germans came to Bel

'How could he escape, if he was wounded?"
Some of his comrades had a car. They
helped him. He reached hospital IN the south
of France and joined him. Ah, lie Bon Dieu
cared for us! We got passage on ship to
South America. But, of course, now Pierre
cannot work.
do YOU mean he is still ill?"
He is crippled, Madame. He lost leg,
and the other leg is not strong 1t received
many shrapnel, too. If he could find some
thing in his own trade, it would be different.
Pierre was skilled glovemaker He had his
own little shop in Brussels. But we cannot
find such little shops here that might employ
him.
L.ily's hospitable nature at once overrode
any notion of economy. There is plenty of
room at Three Pines,' she said kindly. Bring
Pierre with you"

but B.S. was sheer hell. Lily knew nothing
of gardening. She had assumed that you just
put the seeds in the ground, watered them if
need be, and watched them grow. She was
delightfully."- unaware of such items as fungi,
slime-molds and viruses, not to mention
thrips, aphids or sawfies.
But Lily knew when she was getting the
r,n-around. The first blow fell over the plough
ing. By the time she had located man who

there, with an old fashioned in his hand, and
wonder how you could have been fool enough

"Where?"

Jason grinned You're darn tootin' you
