'But definitely." Vicky looked
like something a modiste might

Smiling, she felt his

saw Kurt, his blond head tower
ing over most of the others. She
moved swiftly down the stairs,
smiled as Henri guided ber to
ward the ballroom.
The party was very fay to
night. Most of the Mayfair Club
dances were fun. But tonight
most of the men were in uniform
and the gleam of polished leather,
the alchemy of well-fttted uni
forms brewed heady excitement.
And straight out of Freshman

That had been the night before
Waterloo, before the fair women
had had to send their brave men
into a hideous battle.
War Is I'g ly
"CUCH serious thought," Henri
J reproached her as he guided
her smoothly through the maze of
dancing couples. "May I not share
tnein?
"I was thinking how sure we all
are that war can't nappen here,"
the said still watching the door
way where Kurt Knudsen stood.
"War is ugly, but" Henri
shrugged a characteristic Gallic
gesture of futility, "sometimes it
is necessary. And it has some
compensations, vou know."
Stephanie shook her head. "I
can't think of anything that
would compensate for the life of
a single one of these boys."
"Yiu Americans are most sure,

Henri laughed quietly.
But Stephanie didn't hear him.
Because Kurt had recognized her,

A moment later, Kurt tapped
Henri's shoulder. "Sorry, may I
cut in?"
"Oh. look here. Captain, I've
only lust begun" Henri pro
tested. But Stephanie had already
transferred her hand to Kuril
shoulder. Smiling, she felt his
arm go around her. his step guide
hers easily into the pattern of the
music. ,
"Well." he grinned down at her,
"been saving any more dogs since
I last saw vou?'
Still not trusting her tongue,
Stephatiie only shook her head.
His blue eyes searched her fan
a moment. "Still sore at me for
not leaving you out on that windy
hilltop?"
"No, of course not. I'm Just
surprised to see you here."
"Do you suppose I'd be safe if I
asked why?"
She slanted a smile at him.
"Since when have you worried
about being safe? I thought you
loved the bright face of danger."
"But danger hasn't got big
brown eyes and a cute little nose
that goes up in the air when she's
mad. Nor a pretty pink dress
either." he approved, holding het
off a little so he could look down
at her. "I don't like women in
uniforms."
"You mean, you don't like wo

close again. "Let's go have a drink
on that." And then, moments later
as he lifted the tall frosted glass,
"Here's to friendship."
Stephanie nodded, echoed, "To
friendship," and sipped her drink.
Friendship
FRIENDSHIP, of course. Why
not? With other boys she'd
known, she'd insisted on mere
friendliness. Love wasn't to be
tried on like a new hat with every
season. Falling in love wasn t
something you did more than
once, A long way off in the fu
ture. But when she met his eyes
across the top of her glass a mo
ment later, she wasn't sure.
She was certain it wasn't after
the next long dance. Kurt still
laughed at her, teased her. and
kept withdrawing his real self
just out of reach. As if he delib
erately drew an invisible line and
said "this far and no farther." He
gave her only occasional glimpses
of the real Kurt as if by accident
Glimpses of his deep-seated pas
sion for flying, of his long, thrill-
ing hours in the air. of his deep
loyalty to freedom and to honor
and to courage.
"No wonder you are such a
wonderful pilot," she thought
aloud. "Anyone who loves it the
way you do. Aren't you ever
afraid?"
"Sure. Sometimes," he eon.
fessed honestly. "But not often
and not for long. I'd be more
afraid if I thought there was a
chance I couldn't fly. You start
really living when you've got
wings under you. But say" and
gravity evaporated with his quick
smile, "this isn't entertaining you

Faster Than in '17
Says Sam Rayburn
Sulphur Springs, Tex., April
10 lP) Rep. Sam Rayburn,
speaker of the house, said last
night the United States now has
six times as many soldiers on
the battle fronts after four
months as General Pershing
had after 10 months of the war i
of 1917-1918, and that produc-
tion of supplies for these troops !
was running ahead of schedule, j
(On February 8. 1918 there
were approximately 200,000
United States soldiers in France
under General Pershing, with
most of them in training at that
time.)
But despite this bright pic
ture, the Texas Democrat told
a unity rally, he did not ev.pect
the end of the war in 1942.
He sketched this outline of
arms production:
More than 3,300 planes are
pouring out of factories month
ly, well ahead of schedule, tank
production is ahead of sched
ule with one company alone
turning out an entire trainload
daily, and anti-aircraft gun pro
duction is in advance of sched
