We Must Face It We might as well face it. Th? victory of our boys over the enemy doe* not »nd the war as far aa Its financing is concerned. The home front must continue this job for many year*. The war. including veteran allowances for hospitalisation and rehabilitation, will cost the homefront about <3 billion of dollars by next June. We hav • the word of the Bureau of the Budget for that. Four billion dollars of the above is for veteran* alone Add to ano’her I billion each year for the next 10 y ars and you have the estimated veteran hospitalizatio i and rehabilitation cost. Those arconly estimated. The final figure* may be much sreater. On top of this is a sum of five billion annually for Interent on th public debt of 1395.200,000,000. that is more than 305 hillion of dollars. Then. too. corporations and individual* will pay less In taxes du. to the peace. But the money will have to be forthcoming just th« same—from some* other source. That Is the real reason for the Victory Loan. The truth is we must have the money. The Victory Loan gives to us the opportunity ot our own free wills to lend it to our Government This could only happen In America: this financing of a war and its disabled—at a profit to the Victory Bond investor. So. set your personal quota iu the Victory Loan— then let nothing keep you from making it.

SYNOPSIS Beauchamp’s leading family, the Howard Thayers, art to entertain that night in honor of Howard’s middle-aged sister, Reyna, author and world traveller, whom the war had forced home after being thirty years abroad. Luciesne, Howard's attractive young daughter by a previous marriage, admires Aunt Reyna almost as much as she does her cousin, young Gail Benton, the only woman doctor in Beauchamp. Agnes, Howard’s domineering wife, end Lucieime, who is convalescing from a recent appendectomy, are chatting with Reyna. CHAPTER TWO “Do you find the town so changed?" “Not ths town so much . . . but myself.” She moved to one of the tall, chintx-hung windows and Mated out at the sun-dtenehed garden. “Yon can't go home any more,’’ she said softly. “Thomas Wolfe wa* right. . . . WeR,” she turned baek toward her »bter-fn-law, “tell me about the family. Howard has al-

ways been the worst tetter-writer ta the world.” "There ta very little to UH.” Agnes finally put aside her lists. ”We de our best by our obligations. Howard has carried on the tradition set by old Mareus Thayer." Reyna stared at her unbelievingly. Lord help us, Me : a serious. Why, she plays the role of Mrs. Howard Thayer with the flourish a ham actor gives Shakespeare! “If you’re going to te’k about the family,” Lucfenne sbif,, "tell Auht Reyna about Gail Benton.” “Gail Benton,” Reyna said, “must be Cousin Honort’s daughter?" I “She Is,” Agnes answered caustically. “Honor* fell in love with a young -nechanie at the factory and eloped with him. You should remember the story, Reyna. I believe it happened the year before you left Beauchamp.” ■ “I’d forgotten about it. Waa H>nort happy with her young man?” Agnes touched her pale cheek with her fingers. “I don’t know, lionord always had a smile on her faee, so you couldn’t tell how she really felt. Her husband was killed in an accident when their little girl was about a year old. Honor* had no money, so Howard gave her a job in the office and saw to It that she earned enowgh to heap her and the child comfortable, Gail waa about seventeen when Hon nr* herself died. We did our best for Gad...” Watching Agnes* tight, sharpfeatured faee, Reyna thought compassionately, Poor Gall. I pity her if she had to take help from Agnes It would be enough to wreck hay
