He only spoke occasionally during
three dances. seeming to be wholly
occupied with his steps, but when
the trio of numbers was over he sug-
gested, almost in a whisper: "Let's
go out and look at the moon—it's
stuffy in here."
She laughed softly. "You won't
be able to see it for the fog."
“Oh, we can find it." he responded.
"Come on; it will be jolly out now."
He spoke as if there could be no re-

held back a moment. Then they
walked toward the door. “You don't

rugs will be just the thing."

she was not cold about her body.

"Yes. but thank God, they can't

LUCKY FOR CONGRESS!
(New York \Vorld)
It's a sad thing the country doesn't
take Congress more seriously. But
it's a. lucky thing for Congress.
Just suppose the people of the
United States kept stern watch on
requiring them to be each day dili-
gent. honest. consistent. calling
them struightway to account when
they showed themselves otherwise.
There‘d be a fierce storm beating
on the Capitol this week.
Here is tax reduction: The Na-
tion’s finances permit it. The
Treasury Department sanctions it.
. The President is for it. The coun-
try awaits it. Yet in three months
. Congress has only fumbled with it.
rCongrell couldn't even take the
short. easy step needed to provide
a 26 per cent cut in Federal income
taxes before March 15. No time.
But with the soldier bonus—what
a difference! National nuances
forbid it. The Treasury Depart-
ment has warned against it. The
President's disapproval is on rec-
ord. Only a small group is clamor-
ing for it. Yet Congress loops to
pass“. Decks are cleared for it.
Everything else shoved aside to
moire way for it. Double-quick the
word. ,
It doesn't matter a penny-whistle
to Congressmen {whether or not a
tax reduction. Challenging Treas-
ury figures is safe and open sport.
Nor does it matter to Congressmen

His voice seemed to crack as he
recited the last lines. _
"That is pretty," she commented.
“Do you read much poetry?" he
asked. ‘
."I don’t care for it especially."
she answered truthfully. .
They were at the bow. A lone-
ly sailor. silent and statuesque. was
on watch there. staring into the en-
veloping fog.
Eviyn's companion spoke! “I be~
lievo in love at drst sight now."
She laughed. It was almost a
shriek.
He was slightly taken back. but
almost immediately recovered.
“Please don't laugh like that."
"I have to—I've heard that line
before."
"Well." he went on. earnestly.
"I'm not surprised. I don't see how
any man can avoid saying it—ond
meining it—after seeing you. I
don't know you're name. I don’t
know anything about" you. but I do
know you are lovely." ‘
Her reply was swift. "We had
better be going back.” She started
away. He caught her by the arm.
“No: No! Please don’t!"
She remembered a farce she had
seen months before at home. and
felt she was the leading woman in
a re-staging of it.
She halted hesitatingiy. The hes-
itancy reassured him. and’ she in.
stantly realised it.

They all agreed to do lust as he
said. and the fathers and mothers
surrounded by their children all
went to sleep in groups. the lovers
in twosomes. and the widows and
widowers by themselves. each wish-
ing they were married again so as
to have someone to talk to and share
their troubles with them, and each
vowed to marry again as soon as
possible. , »
