And it was so pointless, Carol was saying

back and Carol said, Ben and have been

voice broke little. Katie, don't know what
I would have done without Ben. From the

mo. Wait Let me surprise her, may l? I'll
not be moment -"
Six years had stood still for Carol. They
must have, Katherine marveled looking up
at the trim little figure poised there in the
doorway of her Office. She was still pale and
blonde and lovely, her wide brown eyes
appealing to the world, BE kind" And how
ought she to look? Why, crushed, of course;
scanned and SCARED, with the loss of Tim only
eighteen months behind her.
Katie -- Katie darlingr Carol cried.
Katherine rose from the disordered desk,
smiled, and put out long firm hand to the
little gloved one outstretched to her But she
was not prepared for the kiss, the brief but
emphatic hug that followed. She put her
hands on Carols shoulders, holding her away
in gentle rejection. LET me look at you,"
Katherine said, still smiling
Carol must be almost forty now But who
would believe it - who'd believe the ten
was the younger? Looking at the precisely
tailored suit, the beautiful sables 50 beauti-
fully worn, the little-girl face radiant at this
renewal of friendship, Katherine thought:
This is the way Tim Greenway saw his wife:
All woman; soft, yielding, vulnerable"
Now Katherine was aware of furry of
words: ''Hartford's the same Wouldn't you
know it? Has it really been six years since
you left there? Oh Kate - when you think
how much we used to see of each other, the
fun we all had - but l knew it, darling

indicated the thick carpeting, the oil framed
over Katherines desk the huge desk itself

CARoL's eyes dropped She fumbled in her

Katherine was aware of the appeal in the
soft dark eyes. "It's long story. Perhaps

He had held her while she wept out her

for Carol kind of beginning; for me an
end. The end of all hope and of the prayers
that had begun with Maybe - Some day
Later"
The beginning for Katherine had been as
copywriter in the agency of Benson and
Greenway, back in Hartford. 1t was her first
job after college, and Benson had terrified her
with his curt, incisive, executive manner She
must have looked scared colt to Tim - all
long legs and thin shoulders, her hair still
brushed loosely like schoolgirls.
Don't worry about Ben," Tim Greenway
had told her. Its just his way" And with
blue pencil racing over her copy, Fine,
Kate. You're natural but here, let's take
this out"
Then, seeing her huddled in the rain at the
bus STOP smiling his gentle smile through the
opened door of his car: LET me give you a
lift, Katie l go your way"
HERE had been wonderful camaraderie
among the workers at Benson and Greenway.
-Four o'clock tea, Office parties, dinners to-
gether, gatherings at the homes of both Ben
and Tim. Katherine and Carol had even be-
come friends and Katherine had found to her
dismay that she liked the wife of the man she
had come to want more than anything in the
world
How had it happened? The snow had come
so suddenly that no one suspected it would
develop into a storm She and Tim had been
the last to leave the Office, and he'd talked
confidently of starting his car, then of getting
taxi or bus; but there had been none So
he'd walked with her through the piling drifts
to her apartment house twelve blocks away.
They'd laughed lot, suspended of all re-
sponsibility to time or schedule in this en-
chanted world of darkness and snow.
When they'd reached her door, they'd
turned to each other as though this had
always been inevitable. They had kissed,
they had clung, with the snow pelting them
soundlessly in the soundless night Il love

She'd felt his body jerk under her arms,
and she'd gone on swiftly, as though shut
ting her eyes and pitching herself from great
cliff into the sea. "You can't walk that five
miles home. You can tell her you had to stay
in town.
He had taken her hands gently away, but
he had held to them. Gently he'd said, do
you think I'd throw you into shabby affair?
1t will be everything or nothing for us,
Kate"
Then everything! Oh, Tim, I've loved you

For cooperation in
Public Health Work

The trend in public health nurs-
Ing is toward greater integration Of
Official agencies, members of the IN
structive Visiting Nurse Society were
told at their annual meeting yes
terday. 4
The Community Chest agency was
commended for its close co-opera-
ton with the Health Departments
Bureau of Public Health Nursing by
DR.. Ernest L. Stebbins, director of
the School Of Hygiene and Public
Health at Johns Hopkins University.
DR.. Stebbins, who served from 1912
to 1916 as commissioner of health of
New York City, cited his experiences
in that city to emphasize the I'M
portance Of a proper division of
labor in the public nursing field.
Systems Overlap.
Visiting nurse societies, he pointed
out, began as charitable agencies
whose sole concern was with nursing
the INDECENT sick. When public
nursing service was set up, 1t was
designed chiefly as a preventive
measure.
In recent times, however, DR..
Btebbills asserted, the functions of
the two types Of nursing have tend
ed to overlap. Visiting nurse So
cieties have come to include educa-
tional and instructive work in their
program, while public nursing serv-
ices have found it necessary to pro-
vide nursing care as well as guild
ance.
He said the problems Of integra-
ton could be solved, and maintained
great benefits were to be obtained
by providing better general back
ground for student nurses entering
the public nursing field than either
a public or private agency could
afford separately.
The joint occupancy of the South
west Health Center by Health De-
partment and nurses of the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurse Society, sched-
uled to take place shortly, was hailed
by DR.. Stebbins as an example of
the type Of cooperation he recon-
mended.

Turns Down
Vet Center

WASHINGTON, D. c. (NNPA).
Howard University has turned
down an offer by the Veterans Ad-
ministration to establish a veter-
ans guidance center on the How
ard campus for the eounselling and
advising Of disabled veterans study
ing under Public Law 10, II was
learned this week.
The Veterans Administration Of
fered the university the services
Of a paid vocational adviser, train
ing officer and stenographer as a
nucleus around which to build the
center, but university officials
turned down the offer on the
grounds that it already had a
eounselling service for veterans
and that a critical shortage Of
space made additional counselling
service impossible.
Howard thus became the only
large university in the Washington
area which does not have a veter-
ans center. Columbus University

the VA offer and now operate CEN
tiers on their campuses.
