With expert fingers she quickly
tied her brown mesh veil about her
newly done, lovely face. AS quickly
she took II off. She had forgotten
her topaz ornaments for her ears.
The ones Tod Patrick had given
her for Christmas the previous
year. She took them from her
purse and began to put them into
her ears. Just as she had done on
Christmas Eve when Tod gave
them to her.

They're real, Mallory" When
she hadn't answered he had said
again, They're real, Mallory"

Mallory was dressed for Christ

settlement houses, in a black vel
vet dress trimmed with white err

skirt and solemnly jumped so that
the brilliant studded heels OF her
black velvet sandals had come to-
gether at least a foot from the
floor

open. And what Is that supposed

"You said. act excited. I Just
clicked my hs6s together with Joy
like a Bowery dancer doing a waltz
clog" AS she finished speaking, she
had kissed Tod Patrick on the
cheek. II love the topazes, Tod,
even II you are a spoiled brat to
brag so about them. I'll think OF
you every time wear them"
And Mallory was thinking about
Tod. II shouldn't be-" she chastised
herself IT should be thinking OF

veil! It was we'll worth the S25 she
had paid for it. One of the last i'm

The weather was abominable, worse
than the hard cold snow she had
left behind her In New York. She
even thought she might be coming

dressing case and closed it. "No,
you go on and be an eagle. I'll just
be a caterpillar. Anyway" she said
smugly they says they is likely
to set you down most anywhere"
Mallory snorted. She would have
liked TO pull her stockings with a
snap that showed her scorn, but
she feared their rayon threads
would not stand such a demon
stration.
Loftily she added, Il think that
is most unlikely"
She was glad Prism could not
see her in Washington. Set down
and LEFT DOWN until there was
a vacant seat on plane going In
the same general direction. Set
down, before I'm even out Of New
York. she exaggerated TO herself.
Her seat had been given to a wor-
ried looking man with two brief
cases who wore a crumpled suit
and hat that looked mistreated.
Mallory had no way of knowing his
trip would speed war production.
To her he simply was a man who
could stand a haircut and a mas
sage.
Now, II IL had been some young
chap In uniform. someone rushing
on a strategic mission, better still
to a furlough with his sweetheart
SWEETHEART. The word made
her think of David, made her re-
member her broken heart" She
glanced into her mirror, and
shuddered. There had been no time
in the early New York dawn to fix
her face.
Mallory headed for the ladies'
lounge and lost no time In pulling
off the tiny beret and face envelop-
ing veil. In the lid of her dressing
case were various bottles and Jars.
She dipped cotton into a liquid
cleanser and rubbed it across her
face. She grinned at her freckles,
in a congratulatory way.
And when Mallory Baker re-
moves her makeup, a bakers dozen
freckles, golden as her voice, make
a little sunny pathway across her
nose" That had been in Maggie
Duff's feature column the FIRST
week she had appeared at the
Metropolitan.
"Frecklcs," Tod Patrick had

they'd discovered gold-the dopes.
Why, I've known you were a
freckle-faced fish face for years"
Mallory had been as disguised at
him for berating her freckles as she
had been with Maggie Duff for
lauding them. Hollywood also had
played up Mallory Bakers freckles

proof that she, Of the voice as glori-
ously smooth as Benedictine and

Yes, Mallory's freckles had
meant a great deal to press and
public, but right now she was busy
covering them with a powder base.

ROOSEVELT EXPECTS
TO MEET CHURCHILL

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18 Up
President Roosevelt told reporters
today that he expected to have
another conference with Prime
Minister Churchill soon, but would
not become more specific as to the
date.
At a news conference the Presi-
dent elaborated somewhat on his
recent remark that Germany and
Japan would be occupied regard
less of whether they surrender be-
fore being over-run by Allied
troops.
He said there was rather
general understanding with Russia
and Britain on the question of oc-
cupying Germany, although all OF
the details cannot be planned in
advance; and added in response to
questions that it would be Just as
easy to reach an understanding
with China for occupation of Japan.

BY WHITNEY MARTIN

NEW YORK, Aug. 18-tRAAbe
Greene, president Of the National
Boxing association, takes a step
in the right direction in proposing
a more thorough physical examina-
ton for fighters, although he might
be putting the sport in perial in
suggesting psychiatrist be in
cluded on the examining board.
They might get some skeptical guy
who believes anyone who voluntar-
lily goes into ring to get himself
batted around must be little
balmy, and would ban them all.
Mr.. Greene's statement shows he
is fully aware of the evils of the
game and is determined to do what
he can to erase them, and he ap-
preciates the ludicrous situation
which sees pug labeled blind as
a bat and suffering from every
thing but intelligence in one state,
and ruled a 10 physical and men,
tai specimen in another.
Not that his idea is a cure-all,
as he realizes that even clinic
checkup couldn't prevent all acct
dents. We saw one ring tragedy
in which the victim died from a
blow which collapsed a lung. And
no examination could prevent such
an injury. or detect the possibility.
However, the more rigid exami-
nations might eliminate many acct
dents is highly probable. Down
through the years we have watched
many pre-flight examinations, and
nj some instances a deceased chick
en- in butcher shop has received
more thorough going over by a
suspicious housewife than the fight
er was given.

SPORTS TRAIL

The medico would peer into the
fighters eyes, tune in on his chest
a few seconds with earphones, rap
his knee with a mallet, and give
him a slap on the back to indicate
everything was hunky-dory. The
slap on the back sometimes was
the most rigid part of the test, as
we've seen some fighters all but
cave in from its effects.
Not that all examinations are
like that There are conscientious
doctors who don't take it for grant
ed a ringman is in top shape just
because ne has muscle Jumps on
his arrns and stomach ridges re-
sembling a Venetian blind, and do
their best to find flaws.
But such examinations don't 60
inside a mans skull to discover if
he has all his marbles and if his
brains have been pounded lop-sided.
That's where the psychiatrist
comes in. BY a little study of the
speech and actions Of fighter and
a report on his history the doctor
can to some extent determine weth-
er his clinic subject is hearing only
bells that actually are ringing.
If Mr.. Greene wants to 60 little
further he might suggest examin.
