 Naturally there Is a ehNdren'S section with dolls and other toys, Consideration is also given to the old holiday gift reliable, candy,
 The Army Exchange Services claim to being the biggest Santa Claus k borne out by the Sao,o0o orders handled last Christmas,
 But even this large total will be small fry compared to the i,e00,0o0 to 100000 orders expected thiS year,

Sarah announced that she

everyone in the house. "They all

She had seen the display of ba-
bies, she commented, arranging
the crimson roses she had brought
in fan-shaped vase and placing
it on the dresser where Stacy
could also see the splash of color
reflected in the glass.
Candace still was white, paler
than the girl in the other bed, Sa-
rah decided, but then Stacy might
be wearing makeup. Neither
looked as if she could be a mo-
tner. There wasn't even a baby
around to prove maternity.
Miss Abigail would wait to see
the baby until he came home,
Sarah revealed. The old lady had

Early in the morning Andy
took Candace to the hospital. A
day and a night and another day,
and their son, a fine seven-pound
baby, Michael, was born.
The girl in the other bed, Stacy
O'Neill, had a son, too, born six
hours before Michael. She had
been married four years, her hus-
band was somewhere with the
Marines. Her mother, woman
of deliberate movement and great
tranquility, was almost as much
interested in Candace and her
baby as in her own daughters ex-
perience. Mrs. Connors mother
ed both girls impartially, admired
their babies and praised the pres
ent generation from the depths of
her charitable heart.
One morning Stacy, looking
very young and pretty against
her pillows, mentioned that her
mother had borne eight children.
''She still believes in large fami-
lies. But she has the sweetest
heart in the world-she loves
each one of us enough to let us
lead our own lives.'
"Would you want eighth" Can
dace, suddenly curious probed.
Stacy shook her fluffy bob.
Heavens no. I'm not excessive
ly maternal and my mother is.
She never wanted anything be-
yond her children at home. I
want to act-do radio work.
Andy had bought Sarah DAT
fodil as soon as visitors were per-
mitted. Sarah had made coffee,
had let him talk to her in the
hours when he could do nothing
at the hospital. Then he tramped
back to the empty apartment,
mainly because it furnished him
the task of walking to the hospital
again. Drinking her excellent
strong coffee, he had given Sarah
stray bits of confidence and she
had saved his reason by listening
quietly.
The next day, eating hurried
lunch in Sarah's kitchen, Andy
had confessed that he was NOR
bid. Il keep thinking, imagin-
ing all the CHASTITY things that
could happen. Fate might trick
done it to others like
U.S."
Nothing will happen. Every
thing will be all right" comfort
ed Sarah.
She came a second time to the
hospital in the afternoon. Andy
had suggested that Candace might
be disappointed because he must
be out of town overnight on
business trip with his employer.

"Dace, darling, nothing thai
can happen to me will make me
regret. Every minute I've hac
with you is worth year of grub
bling as the lowest private in the
ranks. Remember that" He kiss
ed her gently. "I-I suppose you
have heard General Waters
sounded off that men indicted
now are being sent off immedi-
ately."
She nodded, pressing closer to
him.
cts true. Earlier the draft
boards gave you three weeks to
get your affairs in order, but now
they're shipping the fellows off
pronto. I won't have time to do
anything. Some of the men get
a short leave after they've arriv-
ed at camp, but that's nothing to
be sure of-we've got to plan how
you can swing this apartment. I
wish you had a sister to move in
with you-two brothers in Cali
fornia aren't much help to a girl"
"Why not me?" Leila Orion
suggested sunnily, a day or two
later. ''I'm weary of the SUBJ
urbs, the city attracts me: I'll
pay half the expenses"
Candace wanted to cry. leila,
golden heart, you hate the city in
the Spring. You're the one who
wants to live in the country. The
baby will keep you awake, tool
won't let you do it. Besides,
there is Kurt"
Kurt could come see them, take
them to the movies alternately,
Leila said. AS a reward for ex-
ira kindnesses, they might let
him stay overnight, now and
then. 'He may be an enemy
alien, but he'll be a nice steady
rock to cling to, if either of us
feels impelled to cling"
Somewhat to Candace's sur
prise, Andy liked the plan. To
Sarah, Andy confided that he
thought Leila would be good for
his wife. "She needs someone
harder than she is and Leila can
be hard as nails. Then Leila talks
everything out, while Dace is in
clined to brood. When Leila has
sorrow everyone who knows her
knows her grief and I think that's
a healthy attitude, albeit some
what rough on Leila's friend. A
lively, talkative person will be
much better for Dace than some
one too much like herself"
''But you haven't gone" Sarah
thought that Candace wasn't the
only one who kept silent. Andy
had lost weight, there were hol-
lows under his eyes.
He said quietly, "But I'm 60
ing" After a moment he added,
king Waters has some halifax
ed notion of giving me farewell
party, if there's time. If he so
much as tries it, I'll choke him"
''I'll choke him for you," Sarah
promised, laughing not very sue
cessfully. "Tell Dace I'll be up
to see her tomorrow; there's
something must talk over with
her."

I tell her to smack 'em when they

Anyway, the driver concluded,
easing her car around the corner
and picking up speed on the
nearly empty side street, that was
all she could afford. She earned
thiry-five dollars a week, some
times less; out of that she had to
pay rent and buy food, insurance
and clothing for the three kids.

they could afford to pay, she had
no ideas as yet. "Andy?" she

CHAPTER XII

Candace resigned her position
the first week in March. It was
practically acknowledged that the
firm would dissolve in May, when
the lease expired. BY the time
the baby came, Candace reasoned,
she might have heard of some
thing else, or at least she would
be free to look. She allowed her
self two months at home, the bud
get could stand the strain, she told
Andy. And instead of a private
room, decided on semi-private.
She wanted the money for the
baby, Candace said. IT must set
tie the question of who's to look
after him when I go back to work,
too. Maiden aunts used to help
raise families, but I guess the
maiden aunts have all gone to
business now"
Mothers, maiden aunts, cousins,
all female branches of a modern
family went to business, Candace
decided YEARLY, after she had
made the rounds of the employ
ment agencies. It would be of
little or no use to file an applica-
ton for a young woman to take
charge of an infant, the agency
managers said; help of that kind
was daily growing more scarce,
in a few weeks time the war in
dustries would have them all.
"You can't blame a quick, ca
pable girl" one manager pointed
out. Factory work is often cas-
Ter, it pays better and the girl has
the advantage of companionship.
Besides, there's no servant stig-
ma attached to her job"
A steady downpour which be-
gan with concentrated violence
as she left the doctors office one
afternoon, drove Candace to the
extravaganza of a taxi. The cold
wetness of the dismal streets
seemed to pierce through to her
tired bones. Thank heaven the
taxi was heated! Candace clam
bered in, sank back on the wide,
deep seat and fumbled in her
purse for her compact.
'Where to, Lady,"
The driver was a woman. A
round faced, yellow-haired, plump
woman snugly buttoned into a
covert cloth coat that looked as
if it must burst at the seams.

right"
The car started forward as the
light flashed green. The drivers
eyes, steady and blue, met Can
dace's gaze irr the small mirror.
Husband in the service? Not
called yet? Mine enlisted. This
is his cab" There was no use in
trying to hold a man when he got
restless, the blonde driver said.
Her Jack thrived on excitment.
''My folks are furious at him
for leaving me, but I know how
it was with him. I love driving
a cab and it rests me to get away
from the kids. I make about
thirty-five dollars week and that
keeps us going. Jacks always
promising to send me little, but
he goes to town payday and that
is the end of that
Candace leaned forward. "How
old are your children?"
