cas- for me, I'm no help what
ever"
and Mrs. Herlong too. And couldn't
you bring that dear boy of yours?
Well need some young men for the
dancing, and it's so hard to be sure
of servicemen these days, and any,
way, you don't know who you might
be getting" she added in a lower
voice. "You know, it's all right at
the USO, but when you invite them
to your home, it's different. Couldn't
you bring your boy?"
"Tm afraid Dick is rather young
for late parties" Elizabeth de-
INJURED. s'He's only seventeen, you
know, and he has to be up early to
60 to school"
"Only seventeen? Really? He
looks older than that, because he's
tall, / suppose. I'd wondered why
he wasn't in the army. Does he
still go to school? Seems almost
useless, don't you think, when he'll
be in the service SO soon anyway.
Where does he go?"
Elizabeth told her Dick had ma
circulated this fall at the University
of California at Los Angeles.
'Oh, l see" said the fat lady dubi-
ously. docs he like it there?"
''Why yes, he likes it very much.
Why shouldn't he?"
''Oh yes, it's a good school, I've
no doubt of that" their tormentor
conceded. "But the student body
oh, know good many nice boys
and girls go there, but so many 9TH
ers-do you really think it's wise for
him to mix up with all those peo-
ple?"
why, what people?" asked Eliza
beth. 'They get good and bad in
any big university, suppose"
"Oh yes, but at UCLA-you know,
all those Negroes, and" again she
lowered her voice-'I'm told the
place is simply brimming with Jews.
And when it comes to the colored
students, they tell me that at UCLA
they simply require the white stu
dents to treat them-well, you know,
as equals-they insist it's democrat
ic, and all that"
She left her sentence hanging in
the air, ominously.
She had touched Spratt at a point
where he no longer felt it necessary
to be suave. Frankly, Mrs. Farms
WORTH" he said tersely, ''I should
not like to think my son was
ashamed to be courteous to anybody
God Almighty was not ashamed to
create. I'm afraid we must leave
you now-it's late, and I have to
get back to work" He stood up.
"Oh, if you must. It's been such
a pleasure to see you, and do come
to the party if you can. Good-by
now, Mrs. Herlong. Now that our
husbands are in the same studio you
and I will be seeing a lot of each
other"
Elizabeth nearly answered, mot
il | can help it." but she lied bright
ly and said she hoped SO, and added
no, she couldn't possibly drive back
to town with Mrs. Farnsworth, be-
cause she had called for Spratt at
the studio and had to drive him
back there. Spratt put a bill on
the table top to pay the check, and
without waiting for change he and
Elizabeth got out to their car.
'Oh Lord!" he groaned as he sank
into it. Haven't | got enough to
put up with without having to run
into fools like that?"
Elizabeth got in under the wheel.
II was wondering" she remarked.
when you said Dick shouldn't be
ashamed to be courteous to anybody,
IL we shouldn't be ashamed to be
courteous to her. This town really
has more than its share of overfed
imbeciles. What sort of man is her
husband?"

The War Production Board re-

rayon today and said il was con-
sidering action which would make
nylon stockings available In retail
stores by Thanksgiving-"or at
least by Christmas.
The agency said that military
cutbacks now are freeing nylons
for civilian use and that its next
move will be to amend a WPB
order so that the nylon may be
woven into stockings.
The board announced also that
there is no restriction on the use
of nylon and that ii can be used
Immediately for slips, blouses,
shirts or other garments.
WPB estimated that there will
be sufficient nylon to meet antici-
pated demand in a few months
because production now is three
times the prewar production OF
about 100000 pounds year.
