"Only I intend to stop you, if
l possibly can"
Elaine pushed her. tea cup
away from her and folded her
arms on the edge of the
table and studied Cathy indo-
lently, like a sleek, well-feed cat
with an eye on the family
canary.
"You don't look the dog-in-the-
manger type, Cathy,'' she
draWled. 81 would have thought
that one man w o u l d be
quite enough for you-espe-
cially if the man was Bill"
"I'm not in love with Mark. ~
Cathy stated her position flat
ly. "But l admire and respect
and like him enormously. And
I don't propose to sit idly by
and watch you sniping for him
unless you're in love with him,
of course"
Elaine pursed her lovely
mouth and then smiled.
"Oh-love," she scoffed. "I'm
afraid l don't believe in
love. Oh, being fond Of people
and liking being with them and
stuff like that - but all this ag-
onizing because the boy or forgot
smiled at another girl o rforgot
to telephone or seems to be
cooling off in his ardor that's
something to write gooey songs
about, or stick in the movies fol
middle-age matrons to sigh
over. But not little Elane.

She looked up att" Cathy, anc
before Cathy could speak
Elaine gave her an impish grin
"And to tell the truth, I be-
lieve your Major is a realist
too," she said.

my Major"
''But you keep behaving as i
he were"

Elaine shrugged.
"Oh, I don't think he goes il

Elaine looked her cooll
for moment.
"Want to bet on it?" sh
offered.

81 do not! And if that's the at
titude you nave toward Mark
then I'd appreciate it lot
you'd leave him alone"
Elaine continued looking a
her, her lovely eyes cool, mar

nodded and scrubbed out th'
tip of her cigaret and said cool

"1'm not. Don't be silly"
"Of course you are," sale
Elaine. "And l wonder wher,
that leaves Bill! He's pretty
crazy about you, believe it OF
not"
Cathy drew long hare
breath and clenched her hand:
tightly in her lap, fighting tt
steady her voice, before SHE
risked speech.

waitress departed.
Elaine spoke after a moment.
"Your Majors quite swell,
Cathy. I like him."
I'm glad-only he's not my
Major" answer Cathy, striv-
ing for light tone.
Elaine looked up at her
sharply, her blue eyes specula-
tive.
els that on the level? You're
not-overboard about him. You
aren't going to marry him." she
demanded.
"Certainly not! He's merely
a very good friend; we went
through lot together in the
Pacific. l was a flight nurse
and we flew together a lot"
answered Cathy almost breath
lessly.
Elaine studied her shrewdly.
'Is it true he's disgustingly
ri:il" she demanded.
''I'm afraid I wouldn't knew, "
answered Cathy curtly.
''He's a pal of yours and you
don't know whether he's a mil
lionaire or a pauper?" ex-
claimed Elaine unbelievingly.
"All l knew about him was
that he was a darned good pilot,
and that we were all working
for the same boss!" said Cathy,
and there was color in her
cheeks. "We all shared a com.
mon lot whether we had millions
in the bank back home, or de-
pendents who existed merely by
reason of the allotment checks
we were able to send home. Be.
lieve it or not, there was very lit
tie time-and very little incli-
nation-to sit down and talk
about what we had back home
We were too darned pusy trying
to keep it-home and safe-to
worry about who was rich and
who was poor" She broke
off, realizing that her voice was
shaking, and steadied herself.
Elaine had been looking al
her curiously, her head ever st
little on one side.
"Funny," she commented a
last. 81 swear I believe yol
meant that!"
"Thanks!" said Cathy grimly
81 didn't mean TOTO sound off
But I get tired of people here
at home thinking we hao
nothing to do out there but 81
around and make love and tall
about our social positions"
Elaine nodded thoughtfully.

Elaine grinned impishly

Suddenly Cathy was swep
with a quite illogical anger.
"Mark is a very fine man

ly and distinctly. 81 won't have

Elane's eyebrows went up deli

same people who razzsd him will
call him "punchy" for doing just
that.
