of industry and job controls

there is evidence of a concerted
movement On tn part of peacetiine

discriminatory job orders would
even exclude World War IL Negro

ate and prolonged unemployment.

She waI opening the sealed en-
Yelope.
Social conventions fought curl
oSity. Curiosity won. Spenser
peered past the little girls Shout

his British reserve do a tumble. He
looked as aghast as when he had
caught his FIRST glimpse OF the
made-over Belinda.
What a corking present." he
cried. Twelve thousand dollars!"
Sure" said Belinda serenely.
last year, eleven thousand. Next
year, thirteen thousand. Such origi-
nal gifts" she slid the check back
into its envelope and tossed it upon
the table.
Spenser said sensibly: But Be
linda, even though you feel a bit on
the moldy side about your mother,
you should feel clipper about the
money. Don't be so deuced casual.
Money" he told her, peering stern
ly through his glasses, "s most i'm
portant. l." he admitted with re-
luctance, "shan't have any Of mine
until I'm twenty"
His envy for this girl who with
every birthday achieved as many
thousand dollars was clearly evil
dent.
Sandra knew now why Brody
had commented on Belindas money
that morning while they watched
her trudge down the muddy ranch
road toward school. She had so
much that 1t made a definite con-
traSt to her sloppy way OF living.
A person, II they knew, could not
help mentioning II.
Beneath her upswept red hair
Sandra's brain was whirling inquis-
itively She was trying, with scant
success, to estimate the child's
present fortune Also, she was wild

Spenser was saying: And, be-
yond a doubt, I'll not have as much

defnitlyw Her imitation OF spen-
ser's clipped speech was so uncon-
seiously done that no one made a
comment.
The ranch owner said: you
should have bought some like II be-
fore. You could have, you know"
II doubt II. This dress Is above
the usual run"
Her description, so similar 10 the
one Sandra had made in Porter's,
gave Gordon Adams an uncomfort-
able sensation. II was as II the
dressmaker had enlisted the allie
glance Of the little girl. Sandra also
felt strange. Spenser was the only
unperturbed person. He was eating
Jordan almonds.
Belinda continued: 1T does some
thing for me-" A mischievous shad-
ow dashed over her face. 1T even
made Spenser propose.
The British boy was not upper
turbed now. His face was russell.
He whirled toward the girl. See
here, Belinda" As swiftly, he
faced Gordon Adams. Actually, I
did not, sir"
He shrugged, acknowledging de-
feat, as laughter began to sing all
about them. Belinda was gloating,
to a certain extent over having
irked him. Gordon Adams was
merely responding to his own
daughters happiness. Sandra was
thrilling TO the fact that she had
brought confidence and coquetry to
this plain little girl.
II seemed now that everyone was
happy not only the two children
and the couple by the larger table,
but also the cowpunchers, divided
into little friendly groups by tho
cocktail tray. The big room seemed
filled with happy sparks.
Plainly Belinda's birthday was
an occasion. 1t was not entirely the
cocktails. or the extra fancy dinner,
or the cake with its II bright can
dies, or even the champagne in hol-
low-stemmed glasses, so inharmon-
ious in the roughened hands OF the
cowpunchers.
It was more the manner In which
the little girl held sway. Held court,
was n better description. The con-
versstion resolved around her, in
stead OF rounding into a ball OF
shop" talk that lowered over the
heads OF the ranch owner and his
cowhands.
II was the way Brody and Es-
tela pulled up chairs and joined the
others for birthday cake and wine,
Above all those things It was the
way Happy birthday, Belinda"
meant exactly that. Gordon Adams
had told his unwelcome guest that
all the ranch employees loved Be
linda Al this birthday celebration
Sandra was seeing II proven The
tears that tried TO grind into her
eyes were not her usual ones. They
were caused strictly by the sweet
conplacent thought going through
her head. An incredible thought.
She was happier than she had
ever been In her life.
