I'VE the Women

three fourthS Of what's wrong

But in spite Of that, This is 60
ing to be a bow to today's home
makers, the ones who are cleverly
turning trailers, bare barracks,
rundown houses, and cramsed
apartments into bright, shining,
ivable homes.
All over the country women are
tackling the job of turning make
shift dwellings into real homes.
And they're doing a fine job OF it,
with their scrubbing pals, buck.

They could, of course, leave

fthem, since the homes are only
Temporary,
Instead Of enduring the drab'
ness and shabbiness of what they
can find today and sitting around
thinking Of the real home they
want, they are making real homes
out Of what they have.
The gay curtains at the win

there were silver puddles of
light and here and there, where
the soft night stirred the leaves,
little spatters of silver poked
their way through.
She was happier than she had
been since her arrival. Seeing
Karen and her mother had
brought back for a moment the
old, familiar world Of luxury
and beauty and deity trained
servants; of swift, expensive
cars; of first nights and supper
clubs and parties and beautiful
clothes. For a moment, in the
first shock of seeing them, she
had been swept by an almost
savage nostaigia-but only for a
moment.
Underneath the luxury and
beauty of that old familiar
world there had been always the
jagged teeth of insecurity; of
uneasiness lest by some mis-
chance invitations failed to over
lap and she and LISA be re-
duced to some little hotel room,
living on the very inadequate in
come that was all they had. OF
being bounded, discreetly and
carefully for unpaid bills; of
walking. as cautiously as upon
eggs to be sure one did not Of
fend or ALLEVIATE some influential
acquaintance, or even more inn
portant, some prospective host
ess.
The moment OF nostalgia had
/! vanished beneath the blessed
feeling of security. She had a
home here with people who low
ed her for herself alone, people
who liked having her with them.
She belonged - and it was a
heady sensation. The nostalgia
vanished; she felt strong and
happy in the knowledge that she
was capable of hard, honest
work that justified her presence
here. Her security depended on
no whim of some arrogant, ca
PRECIOUS hostess. What she had
here was so much, so terribly
much more important than any
thing that old soft, well-cushion-
ed life could offer her.
Greg was beside her, dropping
down on the ground before she
was aware of him. Startled, she
turned her head and looked at
him without speaking, automat-
ically adjusting her movements
to the WITNESSES of the old ham
mock that, she had already
learned, would spill her instant
ly if she moved too suddenly.
"Oh," she said, when the 81
lence between them grew I'M
comfortable. "Hello."
"Hi," said Greg briefly. and
fer a while sat in silence, his
knees drawn up, his hands
clasped loosely about them, his
eyes on the silver pools of.moon-
light that could not reach be-
meath the trees. 81 hear you had
callers this afternoon. I saw the

tiously, a little tense. She didn't
want to quarrel with him now;
she didn't want to quarrel with
anybody. Her mood was one OF
peace and happiness.

them?" demanded Greg sharp
ly.
Color burned in her cheeks,
but she held her voice steady
