"Well It is. I've planned thlt party for weeks." "And now." Henri smiled apnl. ogetically, "Im afraid I. too, will have to exprett my regrets, Vicky." Vicky turned to him. her love ly browa arched.

"Good kee,i you safe my love." And turning, stumbled to the bed where she buried her sobs in her pillow. Vicky's party waa very gay. An hour of telephoning that next momlng had soon filled the gaps in the guest list that Kurt's Squadron had left And Vicky, looking her belt In a lovely fuschia tea-gown, seemed already to have forgotten Kurt and the others. But Stephanie hadn't She even felt a growing irritation that the party ahould succeed, that life should go on so calmly when fifty boys were "somewhere in the Pa cific" risking their Uvea because their duty demanded It.
