''Of course, Pete! Forever if have to"
1T won't be forever But in the meantime
you're just Sally, gal who's sold herself on
the idea she's in love with lout named Pete.
No commitments. We're two free agents -
and if everything's clicking when the wars
over, we get busy on that long delayed fam
lily. Right?''
Anything you say" Sally had sighed,
smuggling still closer.
So that's the way it had been. No marriage.
No formal engagement. Not even ring.
'I'll give you both rings at the same time,
Pete had said. You're never going to be en-
gagged to me, honey. Just married"
OF COURSE, Roger had used that as an argu-
ment: you admit yourself you're not even
engaged to him. So what's so wrong in your
having dinner with me?'
Roger was a chemist; he'd specialized in
ceramics and plastics. He had charge of the
laboratory in the factory where Sally held
war job, and the brass hats had decided, be-
yond hope of appeal, that that was his job

it might work out very badly if things hap

two years, three years. An awful lot of things
can happen to two people in that length of
time!
''Y oU mean you're afraid you might fall in
love with somebody else, and not want to be
tied down to wife. Is that it," Sally had
drawn away from him and lighted ciga-
rette, that he might see from the fare of the
match how angry she was.
''Or, repeat, that you might fall in love
with another man. Or that might not come
back. Or that might not come back whole.
There are plenty of possibilities.
''Oh sure! might have leprosy by then,
too; don't forget that"
Pete had taken her in his arms then; she'd
struggled briefly, then clung to him. She'd
loved him so darned much.. Don't be
angry, honey" he'd whispered. Logic isn't
always so easy. And love you so very much.
That's why want it to be perfect. Our mar

lr HAD taken many sleepless nights to reach
the decision that she must tell Pete. She
would not, she could not. lie to him about it.
Often she had wondered if she should write
it to Pete Always she'd decided that would
be too easy for her; too hard for Pete 1t
would be cowardly. No, she must tell him
this way. Face to face.
Their correspondence had been queerly
impersonal one. anyway Pete, in his first
letter from overseas, had said: II find can't
write for the censors. They inhibit me, or
something. So you'll just have to understand
that a lot of things I'd like to say are just
being held over as unfinished business"
That, apparently, was how he wanted it.

There were lot of cars clustered around
the little station, but Sally finally found a
place to park. Then, slowly and unwilingly.
she walked toward the long platform where
already people were waiting.
In lust little while now the train would
come in. Pete would be there. and - she'd
have to tell him about Roger.
1T was something that - just happened"
she'd tell him. You must understand that.

CALLY made sure she had her car keys, and
- then gave herself last critical inspection.
She hadn't changed much IN two years.
Her hair was done differently, of course, but
that was about ALL The thing that had hap
pened to her didn't show in her face.
To Pete, she'd probably look just the same.
But she wasn't; and in such short time,
now, she d have to tell Pete that. Tell him all
about - what had happened.
Swiftly, her nose crinkling as it always did
when she was fighting tears, Sally turned
from the mirror and went out to the garage,
high heels clicking on the cement
OF course, she thought as she backed the
car down the driveway, it was Pete himself
who'd had the idea something like this might
happen.

"You head is much too lovely to bury in

You've said in wild moments that you felt
the same way about me. Do you, or don't

Nothing anywhere under that mess of

ity in his voice squeezed Sally's heart. But,

Christmas wouldn't be any fun
at all, to the kids, if dad didn't
get down under the tree and join
them in a good old-fashioned game.
Sure they have fun ripping open
their other presents. But you can
Just play alone with a doll or a
toy for so long without being
bored. Of course it was different
when Junior had his electric trains
dad was always on hand to put
him on the right track. But now
it's the games that we must de-
pend on as something the whole
family can enjoy.
Of course most of the games are
really tinde-Worn now. Santa still
hasn't recuperated from all the
war shortages Of chip board, plas-
tic, metal and die cut materials.
So, we will have to. wait awhile
for the bulk of new game inven-
tons.
But dad with a little ingenuity
may find some new ways to play
those old games. If he happens to
be an EXCL the chances are that
he already has some up his sleeve.

A Pack O Yu|e Fun

It won't be too difficult to locate
the card game revivals like Rock,
Pit and Finch or Crossword
Lexicon, the word-building game,
because most of these use a mini
mum of materials. It's the best
sellers in the board game class
like Camelot and Monopoly for
which the demand does not equal
the supply.
If you get a variety.aof games,
there will always be one that will
become favorite with each mem
Der of the family.
Dig is fun even for the small
fry who enjoy scrambling for the
letters with the sticky-tipped "gold
mining picks.
Teen-agers should be amused by
a sophisticated game like bonanza
combination of Michigan and
rummy, which has the playing
field staked out on a cloth.
There are limited supplies of
dart games with steel tips avail
able and toylands have some mini
allure croquet and bowling games
and variations of the ring toss
game but on the whole it is diff
cult to find a game which is very
different.
