Even Dick perked up over the party. He was pleased as a child over his new dinner jacket, took Julie to the tailor with him on Saturday afternoon to have her ap prove the fit of the shoulders. She - said, meaning it, that he looked very handsome in it, Julie had a pretty. appealing way of paying compu ments. Dick hugged her hard, pat ted her shoulder as though he were glad for something that she couldn'l understand. How could she know that he was glad he was making her happy? He had only that satis faction to sustain his hope that he bad done the right thing, Then something happened that changed all Julie's, plans. - Rita Cartright told Julie that there was to be a great "to-do at our place on the Fourth. Dad a flying club seven planes in all re coming from all over for lunch. ... It s going to be a barbecue. Julie wanted to be at that party . Rita had told her that Clarence ' Berman, the transatlantic flier was going to be there, Frank Illsley the aviation editor of .a New York r newspaper. Oh. Julie wanted an in citation to that party. She began hesitantly to look forward to her solo flight. That would bring her nearer to their level of interests, , The things she'd have to talk . about The third was only a few days off. ., J ulie ; and Rita were friends, Julie had twice been invited to lunch and swim at the Cartright's after that first day. Rita had talked vaguely about people she wanted Julie to meet but Julie had never net them , "Tommy Harden and Katherine that's his wife and she has a pilot's - license flew over from Boston yes terday," Rita would say in her off hand manner. "You'd like them, - Or ... "I almost telephoned yoa .last night, Jerry Kincaid drove up with Jean and Havie and w went ' to a roadhouse. Jerry wanted me to .call you but we didn't finish dinner (until late.' Almost wasn't good enough. And 'Jerry Kincaid liked her, did he? 1 Julie had looked up Jerry Kin . caid Capt. Kincaid in the Avia ,tion Year book, lie was, it ap- peared, somewhat of a celebrity, ;He had flown his plane in all the national air races, had- made 'and i won endurance flights. Julie pigeon holed the information with Rita's "i remark that he liked her. Hadn't Pete Waddell told her to think like a man and be herself T She was do ing both to the best of her ability. Julie had a blind faith in destiny, Frying was going, to mean some thing to her. She didn't like it and she never would but somehow des tiny was going to find a means for her. SleanwhUe. she was going to help herself. . She got out her pencil and paper and did some rapid calculation. She was going to give a party. The facilities of the Allerdyce household did not compare with those at the Cartright's but there was no reason why that should deter her. She had ' nothing to be ashamed of. The ADer dyew silver was worn thia but it was good silver and there was enough, of it. There , was a fine Italian lace cloth her mother had brought back from her honeymoon in Florence.

Charlie Clark . . . Pete Waddell . . . Julie. The names ap peared in a neat little row. Sighing, she added : Tommy. Dad was spend ing the holidays with Aunt Sarah Allerdyce. She'd get cut flowers from the florist, deep red roses, white candles for the tall candelabra. Her pencil moved over the pad rariidlv. She wrote: cocktails, two: iced melon, clearSaup. She crossed out soup ; Cosy couldn't manage it. She wrote: fried chicken, candied sweet potatoes fresh lima beans. Those were Cosy's best dishes. She'd have a salad and ice-cream. No, ice cream was too old-fashioned. They'd have . . . she couldn t think of any thing but ice-cream. She wrote: coffee. She'd have place cards like Milli- cent had for her engagement party, Her thoughts strayed back to that party. It seemed so long ago I She wondered what she d do about Dick, She hadn't told Rita or any of the crane at school that she was en gaged. She hadn't worn her engage ment ring. Well she'd think of that when the time came. Her orange organdie? No, she'd worn that to the first dance. She'd make jacket out of white pique and wear it over her black taffeta slip She'd have loved a new frock but when she'd bought the flowers and candles, the mixings for the cock taSs, the cltickens and . "extras" there wouldn't be much left in her emergency fund. And she'd have to do something nice for Cosy who wouldj bear the greater burden of her party. Cosy was deliehted. So was Pris- cula whose joy was short-lived, Prisciila was relegated to having supper that night with the detest able Susie Twining. l he way was clear and easy There, was only one thing to con sider: suppose Rita couldn't come She had to. Julie wasn t giving the party! -because she had .any social urge-i-ehe expected her invitation to herj dinner party and the country club dance to be reciprocated with an mviiauon iu spend me aay oi vne Fourth at Rita Cartright's. Having disposed of the details of her own party, Julie gave her atten tion to what she'd wear at the Cart rights, what she'd say. She meant to bone on her lessons between that day and the Fourth. Rita's guests would find that a girl could have brains as well as beauty. She wouldn't talk too much; she'd ask intelligent questions. She wouldn't wear her beige which waa her "best" dress she'd be very simply dressed as you'd expect a girl to be dressed who was above thinking of clothes. She'd wear her green linen. It did things to her figure with its short flared skirt, clinging hips. Waddell looked at the schedule on his table-desk. "Aljerdyee, you're set for a solo on Friday?" - Allerdyce said she was. Not very heartily. . "Julie, aren't you excited? Rita demanded when class was over "You bet," Julie agreed. I cant waitl Dad's promised me that when Pre had five hours solo, he's going to let me fly his beloved Lockheed. That's my idea of a cele bration! Yoa know I've been flying since I was ten but Dad made me take lessons from someone else be fore he'd let me touch his plane." Julie smiled weakly. "Maybe it's because I wasn't brought up in a plana that I'm iittM bit Beared.1' j Grade B raw per cent milk, Salem basic pool price, S2.22 per hundred.

YouH be so exhilarated ! So puffed op with pride! How are you going to cele brate?" The big black cloud having rolled up shutting out all other thoughts. Julie had forgotten her party. She jerked herself out of her increasing panic. I meant to tell you, Rita. There's dance at our country club. . It sounds as though it will be great fun. It's on Friday night and I'm going to have some people to dinner. That s my way of celebrating. Will you come?" She waited, with so much hanging on Rita's answer. "Love to, Julie. You won t mind if I leave early? And ... oh I almost forgot! We want you to come over for the barbecue." At the same time that Julie en joyed her triumph, she thought, Oh, dear, I didn t need to have given the party 1". The sky was overcast but the air was still. There was no wind. Julie thought, it will rain tonight and spoil the dance. The thought was on the remote edges of her mind. She thought about it briefly, leadenly, the way you think of things that will happen in a place long after you've left it. The eve ning wasn t a mere twelve hours away it was part of time in an other era. It was as if by thinking of it normally she was tempting fate. Pete Waddell was talking to her. Please, Pete, go on talking all day. Don't let's ever move from this spot. Don't make me walk that last mile to that plane. The monkey suit impeded the movement of her legs. She couldn't keep in step with Pete's long stride as they crossed the field. The shoul ders bore down on her making the back of her neck ache. She hadn't even put her helmet on yet, the blood sang in her ears, shutting out , everything but the cheerful drone of Pete's voice. He was patiently go ing over the things he had told her. He was so cool about it. Her fingers fumbled in the straps and buckles. Red Warman, who acted as mechanic, had the prope?lers whir ring. Over the roar, Pete said, "Scared, kid?- ; He grinned at her wickedly. She shook her head. "Keep yonr head," he yelled. "It's easier than driving a car. You can't run into anything. No lights, no pedestrians. And remember, you know how to fly. Okay?" - J He held out his hand arid Julie put her cold one in his. He knev it: was cold. He knew why, but he shook it heartily. He had no fears for her. The kid wasn't made of fly ing stuff but she had spirit and a woman with spirit sejLdom made mechanical mistakes. She scorned his helping hand, got a foot on the strut, swung into the cockpit, lowering herself into place. jThen she was alone. She had to get the plane up and down again. Preferably with a safe space of time between. ' The switch was off. Red turned the propeller until the mixture was sucked into the cylinders. He shouted "Contact!" Julie's fingers turned on the switch; her mind had nothing to do with it, Her mind was numb. She shouted. "Contact!" j (To be continued) ' I CoprrleM Merle SUxard aMitilhsUd a -tag reawvaa Sjraauate. be Export Wheat Buying Good Prices Merely Mark Time as ups and Downs . Alternate CHICAGO.

Alternate fractional arlvan and declines were in various quar ters associated with general busi ness uncertainty.
