didn't you tell me your doctor had been in the
Navy" she whispered.
Well didn't think it mattered, Martha
answered.
''Mattered? If you expect to get civil
word out of Martin all evening it matters.
can't figure out why all these people say they
hated the Navy so, when all they do is talk
about it when they get together"
well, next time I'll bring an Army man. p"
That wouldn't make much difference.
Martin could find something in common with
paratrooper, even if it was only the fact that
they were on the same side. You don't know
any Germans, do you? Or Japs?"
Il can look" Martha patted her hair back.
Even then" Ellen said slowly, Il suppose
he'd find that one of them had been in the
same area he had, and they'd get to clacking
about who outsmarted whom. My God, but
I hate war;" She drained her drink. Martin,
darling" she said, your guests need some
more drinks"
''I,m sorry" Croker got up and went over
to the bar for the shaker.
Doctor" Ellen said quickly, maybe you
can settle problem for us. Martin says that
mixed drinks are worse for you than highballs,
but claim that you get the same amount OF
liquor in each, so there's no difference. What
is the medical point of view?" w.. ....
Sure, you get the same amount of liquor,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1950-03-12

said the doctor, but in highball, you take
it more slowly. It's diluted. The only thing
that makes difference is how fast you get
what you get. Generally speaking, that is"
Croker poured the drinks. THAT reminds
me of the night the war was over" he said,
putting the shaker back on the bar 1--WE were
in Leyte and couldn't get any regular liquor,
50 we used the medicinal alcohol and mixed it
with grapefruit juice. What night that was"
He sat down and slipped his martini.
.'OH, WERE you in Leyte, too?" the doctor
said. Il was there for the invasion. That was
the first time we really caught the kamikazes."
"They were worse off Okinawa," said
Croker.
Ellen sank back in her chair and looked at
Martha. Il give up" she said.
As they were waiting for a taxi, Ellen drew
Croker aside Listen" she whispered, will
you please try to talk about something besides
the Navy at dinner? There are other things
going on in the world, you know
I'm sorry. You and Martha were talking
and didn't want to interrupt you. The doc
and just found lot in common, that's all.
I'll be good"
That's promise?"
Sure" He patted her gently on the seat.
The taxi drew up and they got in, Ellen and
Martha and the doctor in the back seat and

Croker on the folding seat. Croker gave the
driver the address and then turned sideways.
Take in all lines" he said, and as the cab
started he added, "Starboard engine ahead
one third" He winked at the doctor, and in
doing so missed the sudden Tightening of his
wifes lips.
At dinner. Croker Was seated next to girl
whom he knew slightly, and whose main in
terest was in getting into the theater. Looking
at her, Croker figured that she should have
no trouble whatsoever, provided she could

GO ahead" said Basker Il think we're
old enough to hear it,
Everybody laughed.
well" Croker stammered, The just said,
No wonder so many Japanese come to
America.
He trailed off, miserably, and someone at
the other end Of the table Goaned loudly.
The doctor coughed, more or less out Of
sympathy.
Croker turned to the girl on his left. Nov,
this agent was telling you about, " he said.
His name is Z" For moment he couldn't
think of the name, because Ellen was talking
to Basker again.
The general conversation had picked up
little from the morass in which Croker had
left it, but Ellen's voice was still audible all
around the table.

things that happened to you in the Navy But
you're better than - you tell him.
Tell him what, Ellen? said Croker, irri-
tated.
''Oh, tell him about the time your gyro
compass went out during a hurricane and you
got turned around and headed back where you
came from and didn't know it until the next
morning. That's very funny story Ellen
added.
you've already told it, )" Croker snapped.
That's all there is to it"
well, then, tell him = oh, l know. Tell
him what your lookout said when you first
sighted Japan"
81 don't remember"
''Of course you do. You told it just the
other night When the Whittakers were over
to visit u.s.
TITS not so good, really" Croker grunted.

II THINK the funniest story of them ALL"
she was saying was the time Martin almost
hit tug in New York harbor. The tug started
to cross in front of him as Martin was coming
in for landing, and Martin told the quarter
master to blow two honks on the whistle, to
show that he would turn right -"
left, damn it all =, left" growled
Croker
Left, then. At any rate, the whistle stuck
and made only one honk, so the tug turned
left and Martin turned left, and he almost
rammed it. The tug pulled up against the
dock to get out of Martins way, and all the
crew jumped onto the dock, because they
didn't know what Martin was going to do
next. But Martin came in and made very
nice landing, using only three bells. Or was it
two, dear? never remember
What difference does it maker" gTowled
Croker.
''Well,, think it's nice to know you could
make good landing after being so rat
tied and almost ramming tug. Don't you,
Mr. Basker?"
Il think it's fine said Basker. Perfectly
splendid
Martin was really very good skipper"
Ellen continued, although one time in Pan
anna he ran over tree and had to -
"A tvee?" Basker interrupted did you
use the Navy to gather coconuts?" There was
general laughter, and Basker seemed pleased
with himself
This was floating tree and it was night
and he couldn't see it. At any rate he had to
go into drydock because the tree broke
thingummy on his rudder. Do you know
how they get ship in drydock?"
"Ican't say that do, . said Basker, looking
around the table and smiling.
''WELL," Ellen rearranged the table silver,
heres your drydock and here's your ship.
Now, you get your lines over here -" She
picked up Basker's water glass - and then
you ease her gently. -
II think your wife makes very good press
agent" said Crocker's companion. IF I'd
known you were the .seagoing type, I'd have
worn my SOU 'wester."
Croker WINGED "All right, all right" he
said Don't rub it in"
He looked across at Ellen. I'm sorry" he
said, raising his hand. Really. The End

NAT BENcHLEY, like Martin Croker in
this story, spent the war years as an Of
fcer in the Navy and confesses that now

act. She was tall, but
she was relaxed and
graceful, and when she
tilted her head back to
laugh, her long dark
hair just brushed her
shoulders. Croker was
telling her the name Of
an agent he knew, when
his wife's voice seeped
through the converse
ton and brought his
train of thought to a
jarring halt.

ship was transferred

heard her saying, 1T
flew some funny flag
hoist as it went out
through the nets. And
all the other ships, the
ones that hadn't been
transferred, answered
with. :"
SWAN a minute, !"
Croker interrupted, II
don't think that's one
to tell here. Not the
hoist anyway"
II don't see why,
said Ellen gaily. That's
what makes the story"
The conversation died
down, as the other
guests looked expect
antly at Ellen.

BroiI Bananas
For Vegetables

Cooked bananas are the new
addition TO this broiler meal. If
you have never enjoyed cooked
banana, you have new treat in
store. Cooking brings out a new,
delightfully."- different flavor in
the banana that is especially trop-
ical in its appeal. Cooked bananas
are fork tender with a texture
that is pleasant contrast for most
foods. The flavor is also adapt
able to almost any meal just as
it is when bananas are mixed with
fruits and vegetables in salads.
