to be with" she repeated softly.
You must be very happy"
Laura said again. ITS nice when
a marriage works out that wav.
Not all of them do" She paused
to think over a sudden pressing
impulse, an impulse to tell this girl
about herself and Bill. What was
It? A wish to have him condemned
by an impartial judge. or to justify
herself? For instance, I'm think
ing of a friend of mine - her mar
riage has just gone on the rocks"
She hesitated, not yet sure
whether she was going to talk or
not. Just as long as only Bill and
she knew about it, just so long was
1t her private catastrophe, in
which she could blunder about
as in dark and bewildering room.
She made up her mind. and said,
Il still can't see how it happened.
If she didn't love him, or anything
like that - but she loved him as
much as you can love anyone.
They were driving through a town
now. and the wide hot pavements
sparkled with girls in summer
dresses, men in shirt sleeves. Her
mother didn't want her to marry
him, because her mother thought
he wouldn't amount to anything.
He wanted to be an artist; so when
he got out of college he went to
an art school in Paris for a while,
and then he came back and just
drifted around over here, painting
anything he happened to like, 60
ing anywhere he wanted to.
BUT when he asked my friend
to marry him, he settled down and
got a job. He made good. But
don't believe he ever would have,
if my friend hadn't got behind him
and pushed him so hard" What
was wrong with that? She had
wanted Bill to shine in the eyes of
the world. And they wanted a FAM
lily - can you raise and educate
children on an artists meagre,
pickings?
She frowned, and pushed past
another car with an angry squawk
from her horn. Perhaps l should
have let him 60 his way, she
thought. and gone along with him
as best l could. But she'd never
cared for Bohemian squalor, and
had never been used to penny
pinching. "Oh, it's nonsenser she
said aloud. Hes the president of
his firm now: would he have got
there if it hadn't been for her?"
Very clearly. she remembered
what he'd said the night he knew
he had the presidency. He'd come
home rather glum and sticky. and
had stayed glum through all her
congratulations, even through the
bottle of champagne she'd opened
to go with the dinner. Then, when
the maid had brought the coffee

Pipe Dreams, Safety
Among Items Sold on
India 5 Black Market
By the Assoeioted Press

NEW DELHI, India, Dec. 4.-Pipe
dreams and personal safety have
been added to the myriad COM
modities in the black markets of
India and Pakistan, to which lush
new fields were opened by communal
rioting and the troubles in Kash-
mir.
The eruption Of fierce communal
fighting caused acute shortages of
food and other necessities In various
sections, and to those complaints
were added the voices Of opium
smokers, who said their normal sup
ply sources had been upset and that
black narketers took advantage of
the situation. Opium smoking is
illegal in both dominions, but there
are many addicts.
Safety and access to safety have
become. recognized black market
commodities. Statisticians of the
Tata industrial empire in India re-
Gently made pointed comment that
governmental breakdown was in
order.
Plane Ticket Scalping.
Smart money" bought large num-
bers Of airplane tickets, with book
ings far in advance, wherever COM
munal troubles erupted. These tick
cts were resold at fantastic prices,
sometimes more than 100 times the
face value of the ticket and wealthy
refugees in terror of their lives were
glad to pay.
Some private pilots reaped rich
harvests for the transport Of wealthy
refugees and their precious posses
sions to areas of safety.
Automobile owners fleeing from
trouble centers had to drive their
cars to airports and leave them be-
hind. Bargain hunters haunted the
airfields, bought these cars at dis
tress prices and they now are re-
appearing at the usual black market
prices.
Matches, cigarettes and other
commodities periodically disappear
from normal markets without any
apparent explanation. They are
available in small quantity In the
black market-for a price. The
press has charged that some Of these
shortages were artificially created.
Looters Setup Business.
Some black marketeers operate IN
reverse, however. In Lahore, Pakis-
tan, Mohammedan looters Of Sikh
and Hindu shops set up business on
curbstones. Many of them had not
the vaguest idea of true values OF
the things they had stolen. Scotch
whisky sold for three rupees 0ess
! than dollar) bottle and one
man told of having bought case
of gin for one rupee because the
seller thought it was bottled water.
This situation did not last long,
however.
Some strangely inept vendors ap-
peared in New Delhi after the riot
ing here. These new merchants had
queer price lists for the first few
days Of their new careers in business
which indicated they might not have
much information about wholesale
prices.
Black marketeers in housing
seldom make a mistake. A friend,
reports that he had to pay bonus
equivalent to about $4,000 to obtain
immediate possession of home he
lad purchased. key money" rates
20 circumvent rent control are high
sometimes more than $500 for two
or three rooms.
Medicine is an old standby Of the
black marketeer. Any pill-aspirin
or sugar pill-can be sold as sulfa
drug for home medication to illit-
crate buyers.
