In spite of protests by the nurse, she had
herself propped up till body and legs we're
almost at right angles.
She was old and slight. A good wind would
have blown her out of the window or up the
chimeny; but the lines and angles of her pro-
file we're softened by cap and peignoir whose
edges dissolved into foamy lace. She seemed
marquise from the eighteenth century, de-
termined to live fully and gaily till the ulti
mate chop of the guillotine.

ORANDMA's steel blue eyes sparked. They're
going to be married next week From the bits
could overhear, it sounded to me as if they
were trying to talk each other out of it." She
stared inquiringly at the nurse 'Well?"

ably they'll tell you everything that's of in

The mouth between the beefsteak cheeks
became a round o: But we promised the
doctor we'd smoke just one day. and we
smoked that after breakfast"
My fingers were crossed when made the
promise Give me a cigarette - need all my
mental faculties, because if Bette and Pete
can't marry, it'll be an American tragedy"
WHEN the door opened to Beatrice and
Pete, Grandma was blowing smoke rings.
They looked to be extremely nice, normal
young people. Beatrice wore toast-brown
about the perimeter of green pancake hat.
Her nose and lips suggested that she was a
sensitive sort of person, and the honest gray
eyes proclaimed an oversupply of conscience.
Pete's gray civilian clothes did not much
camoufage the military build and posture
beneath. His square chin and squarish, SYM
metrical features announced honesty, trust
and good faith.
Beatrice spoke first: Pete and have been
talking things over, Grandma. And we've
we've - we'll. we've decided not to marry"
She raised the little chin which had begun to
quiver. :
Grandma inhaled. but made no comment.
You see, Grandma. last night at the high
school auditorium, we heard Sutphen Binyon
lecture on Children of Tomorrow 1t was
good plain talk. No corn. Just facts"
Grandma nodded encouragingly and ex-
haled
This morning Pete and went to see him
at the hotel. We told him we d hoped to get
married. but We d already thought about some
of the things he'd brought out in his lecture"
Grandma nodded again
He said he hated to say what he did, but
ne didn't take back single word of his lee
tue. He showed us so clearly what was bound
to happen: strikes, revolutions, another war,
more atomic bombs, plaques and famines 1t
made me shiver. And he said again that
marrying and having children were things
that decent people today simply couldn do."
ORANDMA Strengthened up. The spinal cord
had aged, but it wasn't permanently bowed
She busted the ash from her cigarette
The mans right" she pronounced en-
phatically. There's always been too much
corn talked about love and marriage. It's
high time somebody said So"
Beatrice started. Her eyes ranged in puz-

bottle labelled Pon,nsier en- Fleur, and finally
to the single framed picture in the room: an
oil painting showing two highly romantic
persons in Venetian gondola She cleared
her throat as she sat down stiffly on the bed.
