be removed. That would help tor it would provide two popular foods for the average table and it would caste the problems of the housewives and the ration boards. Let ’er come. o—o There are numerous ways these days to .am money. .Mrs. Roy Hal! of Washington found a new one by becoming a human alarm clock. She advertises herself as the "sleepytime girl”' and she calls any cue at any time they wished to be called for fifty cents per week. She has built up a large clientele ami Isays the only draw hack is that so ; many of her customers get pert wiih her when she follows their Instrut tionw and repeats the call to make sure they didn’t roll over to take another nap. —o—o Senator Vandenburg who has long been classed as a "non-inter-ventt< nlst” is cooperating wkh Senator White of Maine in a resolution that would put the 78th congress on record ax favoring "the participation by the United Statue in postwar cooperation between sovereign nations to prevent by any necessary means, the recurrence < f military aggression and Io establish permanent peace with justice in a free world.” Even the I solation tats are seeing the light and r.-rognizing the benefits that are accruing from the actions led by President Roosevelt. Os course they are politicians and want the public to think that they will cooperate when the tint. comes. It should convince every one I' plans for the future are right «d important and that the Atlantic Charter covers the requirements. -0 Tidal Waves Ahead: A wave of home-buying will eweep over the country the Instant war stops, predicts Richard Saunders in Nation’s Busiuem. This wave will total about a million units and will come chiefly from mMdte asst-d heads of families. A second wave will come from be using demands of demobilised service men. but thin will be slower and probably will fall short of the million-unlt mark. Coincident with both waves, the magazine says, will be a tidal swell of improvement and modernisation work that may top. in volume, all new housing demands. Post-war bousing will be more functional. Clothes Closets replete with shelves and drawers, aud bathroom units probably will be prefabricated. Living rooms are likely to have sliding panels so corners may be closed off into dining alcoves or studios. O—O—Not A New Tax: The pay-as-you-go tax is not a new tax. It is the same old Income colle.-t.-d by a new method. This should be clearly understood by every war bond buyer. Temptation to stop bond pur-i . bases will come in a variety of subtle guises. There will be the thought that it really doesn’t matter if one drops out. because there are no many others who will continue their purchases. Ard then there will be the very natural reaction of deciding that, after all. the government does not expect a man or woman to do more than his share. And that he is doing his full share already. Americans should not give la to these temptations The buying of war bonds to not a tar. it to a saving. And It to a saving that a needed now more than ever when American troops ar* launching aa invasion -when war costs are higher than ever before and when the flght against inflation here at home to more dlflksit than ever. Largewcate stoppages In the purchases of war bonds would seriously hurt the war effort. Every American should consider it a privilege to keep buying -to keep envtog—for bUaaelf as well as tor kto country.

SYNOPSIS I Mary Norman, an attractive I widow, lived chiefly foe her eon. Dr. Matthew Norman. The income from her smart decorating shop had seen him through college and would aid in establishing bis practice. She was overjoyed when lovely Judith Lambert, daughter of an old friend now living in California, dropped in for a visit. Judith confessed Matthew uaed to be her secret love-"but be didn’t know I existed.” En routs to Maine, Judith promised to stop of on her way home in the fail. As Mary awaited dinner with Lynn Mortimer, lawyer, she indulged in a little mental matchmaking anent {udith and her eon ... For years ynn has been in love with Mary, but his wife, a meatal patient, was still living. Mary was stunned when a telegram from Matthew announced his marriags to Irene Murray, a nnrsa. She had met Irene but never suspected a romance. Early nest morning Matthew phoned to ask if Irene, who is on vacation, might stay with Mary white be is on duty at the hospital. Mary found her daughtrr-in-tew charming as the latter shyly explained their hasty marriageMatthew simply would not wait". She told Mary she will continue at the hospital until Matthew Khis own oflke in the fall, offers to help find them an ajwrtment, although she bed hoped they would live with her.

er and has been keeping tab on Sharon's expetmeo since birth, thus giving the little girl the title of "budget baby.” When Sharon's mother noted the decline in Sharon's budget this year she couldn't figure It out because her entertainment bill went way up since Sharon took to riding ponies and bowling. And she added a 15 percent Increase to the family food account. Mrs. Derer looked at Sharon’s budget again -discovered there'd been practically no clothing costs. The uncles, aunts and cousins by the dozens had taken care of that item.

I "how nice to see you ... and bow well you look. I had given you up—--1 thought you'd gone back to California. Do sit down, my dear. Can you lunch with me?” Judith shook her bead regretfully. “I’m sorry, but we’re leaving tomorrow and It’s such a whirl. We stayed quite late in Maine and then went on for a week in Boston. 1 keep having frantic letters from Mother, she thinks I’ve deserted her ... but I’ve had the most wonderful time.” ’ Her golden tan had deepened to a rosy bronxe and her rery blue eyes were startling in contrast She chuckled, stroking the soft fur of bar scarf. “Your saleswoman—” she began. “Mrs. Morris,” said Mary, smiling; “she was vtry impressed." "She thought I was a bride, or going to be one. I think. It must have been the sables. Aunt Elia gave them to me for Christmas—and she brought the tweed back from Murray Bay a year or eo ago." i "Very Hismisg,” Mary commen tod. "She’s marvelous to aae," said Judith. Her brows drew together. "Os course,” she went on, “she’s a little uncomfortable. Having a lot l of money ean make people—oh, not 1 exactly arrogant, but roughshod. She’s just like aa affectionate i steamroller Mather doesn’t mind.” I Mary laughed. “Ella was like i that at school; the seeds were there i when she was seventeen, it merely needed the sun of prosperity to bring them into flower. But not everyone is like that, my child. • Yow mother, for instance ..." "Oh, Mother! fihe was so wrapped ■upla me and Father...
