cusslons in which he was neither a

he had no way OF reporting to his

authority he flouted. He cannot

him as an agent of Stain.
II Stain wishes TO tell the

Stain wishes to make a statement

OF an obscure parish priest in a

the President of the United States
the Pope in Rome and the Polish

OF all formality which may amuse
Stain but is unrelated to reality,

II is a pity that the very sad
Polish problem, for which there
seems to be no solution in this war
should become n subject for TINS
kind OF playfulness. It is a great
err pity that a Catholic priest
should have lent himself to 1t.
Father Orlemanski will now have
ample opportunity to read St. Au-
gustine and to think on the temp
tations OF personal glory when his
vocation is to think OF the glory
OF his God. He has had wonder

unless he is told by his superiors

soldier in a disciplined army.
But there is another factor in
this situation. The Catholic Church
which functions in every country
upon this earth-eXcept perhaps
Soviet Russia-maintains a special
department for the conduct OF its
relations with governments. That
department is stated by compe-
tent men ana pursues specific poll
cies based upon church history and
tradition. For a quarter OF a cen
tury the relations between Rome
and Moscow have been untaver-
able. II they are TO become coop
erative. II is the function OF the
Vatican foreign Office to direct con-
yersation to that end.
No parish priest can undertake
to perform that function all on
his own. 1t would be like pri'

both Sturgis and Flagg. He won
dered why the show didn't begin.
Presently the lights dimmed. The
orchestra struck up a soft dance
tune. There was lull in the noise.
A hush fell over the gathering. A
baby spot was conferred on the stage.
A youngish woman, smartly tai
lored, stepped from behind the cur
tains. She walked up TO the micro
phone. There was a faint ripple of
applause. The woman bowed and
then held up her hand for silence.
"This afternoon" she began in
a pleasant voice, eve take great
pleasure in presenting to you the
latest creations from our leading
American couturiers. The gentle
men at the end of the runway" an
other spot turned on them, "are
among the foremost artists and IL
lu-trators." There was polite APP
plause. These gentlemen will be
our judges this afternoon in select
ing the most attractive ensemble in
each of four types of clothes. At
the end Of the show, Mr.. Roger
Flagg, one Of New York's famous
model-agents, will tell you why each
costume was selected as being the
best, in the opinion of the judges.
And now-on with the showl" A
large spotlight was trained direct
ly on the stage.
The curtains parted to show a
tableau Of four girls in bathing
suits bouncing a huge rubber ball
back and forth against setting Of
palm trees and Florida scenery.
Ellen was in the group. She was
wearing an abbreviated blue beach
costume.
One by one. the girls left the stage
and marched down the runway.
They paused in front of the judges
and pirouetted so as TO present
every aspect of their costumes. As
Ellen passed Argus, she winked.
Ellen certainly held her own with
any of the models in the dressing
room, Argus decided, wher it came
to pert and sauey figures. She
moved on. Another model took her
place. She was a voluptuous bru-
nette wearing q one-piece suit Of
red sequins that At her contours
better than the proverbial glove.
After the bathing-suit parade
came the spring prints and street
clothes. Argus interest abated
somewhat He looked down at his
drink and when he raised his eyes
again, he was staring into Cynthia
Lanes face. She looked scared. She
was standing just over him on the
runway and as she turned she
tossed q crumpled ball Of paper on
his table. Then she moved away.
Quickly Argus opened the folded
wad. A message was scrawled on il
in pencil:
Come TO my dressing room, soI,
during intermission- Don't let any
ons know. Urgent.
Cynthia Lane
The curtain came down. Argus
applauded with the others. Then
he sauntered casually from the ball
room. He encountered Ellen on the
way 70 Cynthia's dressing room.

Argus grinned. He paused for a
brief instant in front of Cynthia
Lanes dressing room. Then he
shrugged and sauntered toward the
ballroom. He edged his way through
a group of women and spoke to the
captain. The latter bowed and led
Argus 10 his table near the runway.
