Yesterday: Dwight breaks the stunning news to Judy that he loves Marvel io Hastings, is going to marcy her. Gripsping herself, Judy prepares to go home.

Captain Lane was his skipper. Judy . -forced herself to smile. “Oh, he spent all his time with me telling me about her.” . Mrs. Lane patted her. “You're a . good girl, Judy.” Judy knew she was thinking of Ward Fleming, and of how it had been five years. . . .

with me to the airport to meet her. -XYou’ve been my best friend here, and I know you'll like her. She’ll . "need a Navy woman to sort of show her around—get her started—” - Refusal was on the tip of her tongue. But she did the sporting thing. “Of course, Dwight. I'd love to? : -= ” ” 2 | S she hung up, Judy couldn't ' help comparing her own ar--rival in San Diego with that of this girl. Dad had gone on ahead from Brooklyn, she remembered, by train. ‘He was to take over at the station here in only a few days. She and her mother had supervised the en--listed men who packed and shipped the furniture, and they had worked * like Trojans. After which they had ° cooled their heels until the transport Henderson was ready to leave for the long passage through the Canal Zone and around to San Diego. The Henderson was an old ship, and their quarters had been nothing extra. Judy had enjoyed the trip, but now, thinking of Marvel Hastings coming across the continent in a swift, streamined Air -Bleeper, at a cost she knew of nearly .$200, the trip in the Henderson seemed grubby indeed. > The phone rang again. This time it was a girl’s voice, and Judy waited. But it was not one of the gosSip brigade, it was Diane Bell, who had just had a new baby. “You never have time for me, Judy! Come on over and see little Billy, he’s the . darlingest thing! Give the boy-friends the go-by for Jone day. T'll fix you something good for lunch.” : It was. only a short distance to .the Bells’ small cottage. Bill Bell Was a flier in Jack’s squadron. “. Judy parked her car. In the doorway, Diane was standing, the baby in her arms. : “Darling!” said Judy. “You look wonderful!” ~ “Never felt better in my life.” After Diane had told her all about how marvelously Bill was tak-
