Kitty's whisper was iurious and her green eyes shot fire as she confronted Babs. "Don't stand there and try to tell me to be quiet That one she's wrong. ' She's up to something." ; . ' Sue Mary stood quietly behind '. tht Ale and listened tn the whis . pered argument It seemed to her '. that all she was doing lately was listening to olher people's con : variations. First at the apartment whenever Vera and Natalie were ' together; then at the hall, when ' Nick Issued confidential orders to some of the workers; and here at ' the office, whenever she believed she could benefit by learning something more about Vera's alms. "Well, so what?" Babs said mildly. "Just because Miss Grant 'was hunting for another paper .' and Vera happened to have it on ' her desk doesnt create an inter national Incident You're one of . those hysterical people who sees a spy under every wastebasket i and behind every door." ' Kitty turned away, sulkily. On . her desk was the morning paper and she turned the pages over ' to the society sheet's gossip col i umn. Sue Mary knew what the was reading. She herself had seen: ' it while coming down on the bus ' that morning, and she had marked it and given it to Vera, It was one of those lnconse- ' quential bits of froth used as filler! "when society news was slack.! ' "Who," it questioned, "was the ' stunning madonna typ: - taking " Ross Clark Junior's mind off the . airport worries last night at th Golden Calf?" . . Vera had shrugged' her shoul ders and smiled when she read it : "Well, one sees all phases of life. that way," she said, . "Beer and ..salami. in the. hall one. night; . champagne, and a would-be poll- "Do you think' he h political . amDinons7'.' sue Alary asked, sur 'prised., "Ye. He's conceited enough to (Picture himself in the limelight 'He was born In society,' so that offers no goal. He's stupid enough to believe a political career would add to his charm. All he needs lis money, and from what he says he needs plenty. He must be in .debt right up to his ears. He ccr .tainly hasn't the sense his lather' has." " "You sound at though you knew him pretty well. Vera." Sue Mary watched the other girl's face in tently. Ttra, had a J.lu u 1.1 and when you're with a a-uv who ! drink at much at he does, you can learn a lot u you're smart CUE MARY turned to traditional' feminine outlet for her wor ries that noon hour. Working with the Youth Progress group had changed her. Nona of the girls there thought much about clothes. Vera was the exception, at least at far aa dressing lor the office, but on the whole, the girls con sidered clothet unimportant One concentrated on ideals. ' : And now Sua Mary decided jupon an abrupt about-face. She ; looked at her last pay check and decided to go ahopping. A little smile tugged at her lips. A' girl who planned to get mar ried had a right to think about B trousseau. Perhaps it wasn't : exactly practical to buy gossamer thin chiffon hose, or fragile lace trimmed lingerie, but she did, squandering her money with a recklessness that lifted her spirits higher than they had been in days. She tried on dresses early fall' frocks and marched out with two that were much too expen sive for her budget Joe had suggested the buy for their home. But if he knew any thing of feminine psychology, he would know Just how much buy ing these clothes meant now. A new lipstick, gay nail-polish, a fragrant, cool toilet water, and a Silly, useless, hrnralaf ihar 4(nl- on her wrist at the" slightest provocation. She felt she coulu handle any situation. And then she saw the paper.' She was on her. way back to the offlc .with her arms filled with bundles when the noon edition's front pagot stared up at her from a pile on the street corner. Trouble at the Smlthson factory.- Rioting at the south gato mm vim jiiuiiniig mini weni oui. She bought a paper and backed) up against a building, away out! of the crush of the hurrying noon j hour crowd, to read the story. I Both labor and plant officials agreed that the trouble came as) a shock to them, Negotiations: were Under way and satisfactory progress had been made so far. No one could put the blame for; the riot on any particular group of men. Statements that pay was to be cut Were absolutely false: Yet trouble there had been, and two workers and one plant policeman-had needed medical , atten tion. .... .. Leaflets had been found at the gate, urging the men to demand their rights; warning them that they were being "sold down the river" by labor representatives who had gone over to the manage ment The company officials an nounced they were putting extra guards around the plant to pre vent sabotage, and that work would go on as usual so that the materials they manufactured would be delivered on time to the plane factory. aaa CUE MARY called Joe that eve- ning. Each minute had dragged back at the office. She kept watch ing the clock for the time when he would be out of work and she could talk to him. The hands dragged maddeningly and Babs had finally smiled and winked. "Must have an important date," she grinned. Sue Mary tried to make her i frozen lips smile back. She couldn't even feel until she knew from Joe that he was all right She atopped at a drug store on her way home when she thought he might be at his room. "Of course, I'm aU right" he said. She was incoherent in her anxiety. "But those headlines. That story about some men hurt" she kept repeating. "It's nothing to get excited about," Joe told her. "I'm glad you worried, though. You do love me. don't you?" "You know that And you know 111 worry about you always, Joe. Will there be any more trouble, dear? You will be careful, wont you? Anything can happen when a riot starts." "You're borrowing trouble again, sweetheart" The laughter left his voice then. "I thought you were borrowing it the last time we were together. Remem ber? You asked me then if there was a possibility of labor trouble at the factory. ' "Maybe you had second-sight Sue Mary, or woum you say pipeline? A pipeline through the Youth Progress crowd?"
