"He bad a call" began Mere
dith. "Ob. I get It the annual snrinf
Baby at the Hastings place," said
Rosalie cheerfully.
Matilda came Hurrying along the
hall, flusned and excited. She en
veloped Mereditb in a warm nug.
"Well. well. Meredith. It's good to
see you again." she said and then,
holding tier off a little, she added
anxiously. "But you're thin, chlldl
Have you been sick?"
"Ol course not, darling," Mere
dith laughed. "I'm strong as a

MATILDA sniffed. "Well, well
fatten you up a bit. I always
like to see a few curves on a young
girl myself."
Evan said lightly. "Don't yon
dare I Uke Her exactly as she Is."
Matilda's expression said. "On,

could speak. Meredith presented
Evan and He shook Hands with
Matilda and then with Rosalie.
"Dr. Farley Is on his way to his

AS Evan followed Matilda op the
stairs, Rosalie looked at Mere
dith. "He's quite something r eta
said frankly. "A super-duper. no
leas I I could go for him In a Big
way. but of course. Ill play nanda
off on account of he's vour man."
Meredith laughed and put an arm
bout this enchanting girl who wu
the little sister ahe bad teen so
rarely In the last few years.
"Come along with me while I re
move some of the soot and grime,"
she suggested.
ahe led the way op the stairs to
her room.
"Tell me about yourself. What
sort of things do you find to do In
River Gap?" she said. . -
"It really is quite a dump, frnt
It?" Rosalie said cheerfully, estab
lishing herself In a white wicker
chair. "But It hu Its momenta
nowadays. There's an army Base
a paratroopers training station
three miles out. Six hundred men
all young and swell and full at
ambition. You have no Idea how
that's lifted the morale of the gals
In town I"
Meredith grinned at her. "And
your morale quite as much as the
others?"
"More." said Rosalie frankly. "I
have put my Indian brand on one
of 'em a tall, dark and devastat
ing lieutenant a pilot. He takes
the lads up and finds places for
them to heave-ho and see If their
parachutes work. He likes mel"
"111 bet he doesl" said Meredith,
latuhlng. "And do you like him?"
"Oh he's quite a lad!" admitted
Rosalie, flushing a little. "Of course,
being practically the best-looking
thing that ever drew breath, the
competition Is pretty terrlfle. All
the other femmes In town and for
miles around, practlcallyl are
heaving themselves at his head un
til the poor lamb's groggy. 80 I
have to play hard to get. to keep
him Interested. It keeps a girl step
ping lively!"
T can Imagine." Meredith
agreed, amused by this pretty Uttle
sister.
1 SUPPOSE you have to fight thg
gals off Evan with 1 stick, too?"
suggested Rosalie brightly. "With
a hospital full of nurses, to say
nothing of adoring patients, yon
must have had vour hand full!"
"No. not particularly. Evan and
I are well, modern. I suopose."
"Meaning you trust each other
Imnllcltly and are never lealous?"
demanded Rosalie, frowning.
"Something like that. I suppose,"
Meredith said.
Rosalie considered It for a mo
ment, and then she Jumped to her
feet.
"None, r wouldn't like that." she
said Hatly. "I like all the chills and
fever that go with being in love
Sometimes I right with Tim and
make him absolutely miserable be
fore I forgive him ust because
making up Is such fun!"
Meredith said swiftly. That
sounds pretty-rotten. Why should
you get a kick out of torturing a
man. If vou love him?"
Rosalie chuckled. "Oh. It keeps
Mm In line! If ever I let him see
how crazy I am about him. I'd lose
the er lure of the unattainable
and he'd be off after anme other
femme who kept him guessing! It's
my system and so far. It works
swell!"
Meredith stared at her hard,
finding that she did not like this
young sister quite as well u she
had thought, nor did she find her
quite so enchanting. Such an Atti
tude toward a beloved seemed to
Meredith cheap and cruel.

DIRECT REPLY ON
4TH TERM PLANS
President Willing to Give
Long Review of Adminis
tration Accomplishments
Washington, Dec. 29 U.R)
President Roosevelt turned aside
a direct news conference ques
tion yesterday about his fourth
term plans, but at the same time
he gave a lenuthy review of the
accomplishments of his admin
istrations and explained why he
wanted to abandon the phrase
"new deal.
He said it came down to a
rather puerile, political side of
things, but after all some people
had to be told how to spell cat.
Therefore, he added, he had
Jotted down a lot of things that
people of this type had forgot
ten. They add?d up, he said, to
the fact that the new deal came
Into existence originally because
there was an awfully sick pa
tient the United States suffer
ing from on internal disorder.
Smashup In 1941
They, meaning the people of
the United States, sent for the
doctor in 1833, he said, and
through nearly 10 years of treat-
ment'the Ills were remedied. But
on Dec. 7, 1941, the country suf
fered a severe accident a Se
vern smashup. The patient, he
continued in an allegorical vein.
suffered a broken leg and a bro
ken arm and other injuries.
Since old Doctor New Deal
was a specialist In treating Inter
nal disorders, he had to call In
Doctor Win-lhe-War for surgical
help.
Then the president listed 30
specific accomplishments of his
administration. .
He followed this by stressing
that all emphasis now should be
on wlnninK the war, and that
when victory is won a new post
war prog' am should be devel
oped and tied in with events in
othei countries.
It will not pay to go in for
economic isolationism than to go
in for military isolationism, he
added.
