' While the family and the, four guests rate their"luhcheon, Blythe noted -that Nancy - seemed 'utterly without. -regret or worry.- - She ' marveled that the other girl could be so " wholly, brazen about her plotting.- ; ' '-." ,.' , ?T would be Jiimpy" as heck," Bly told herself, watching Nancy closely. - Norman was watching Nancy, too, she noted. Well, that much was all right. -' Undeniably Nancy was pretty. And usually Norman Dana made a pest of him self paying attention to. Blythe. Big Duane just smiled all the while end said little. Maybe yes! Blythe suddenly Celt that she understood. Tomor row night, Wednesday, ' Nancy f$uld have' to have both Nortaan. and ..Duane as dinner guests In her own cute upstairs -apartment Fhis was essential to her" scheme.

She would .already feel; sure of Duane. . . ,31ythe was appalled more than ever -at- the widow's calculating, conscienceless nerve. '."It's just like some of the early troubles 'the Japs and ' Germans banded 'Us,' Pop was saying, be tween: forkfuls.. We have to ex pect'the unexpected,: the "setbacks.

PijtUng new eonfiaence md assurance in the two ' stars minds. Norman ' especially was riven, to quick flareups, emotional :. itreaks and such, in -addition: to' " what people thought was conceit -' In him. She,' Blythe Miller, knew now that Norman wasn't as con ceited as he sometimes appeared. On' one memorable occasion he had. proved it. She would always respect him for that ' .' "Anybody tell you how 'onto you; look 'in a red dress, Nancy?" Nor-!' man' himself said that, 'beaming. " ' "Why nol How nice!" '."Sure do. People say blondi shouldn't wear red. You corrected fhst" Mind If I stare?'?;. ' Mom . Miller put In genially, "l'ni sure Nancy is sweet in any color, boys.' I have never seen; 1 prettier girl." . y :"Umph," Pop grunted, mouth' fUll. nodding. ' '. : '.. . Blythe said nothing- She might; have said that the red 'dress was:' once her own. Given .to- Nancy;; after the car wreck, when:Nancyv was. penniless in the hospital.' Oh, : te-be 'sure,. Nancy had' alncei:--r,- membered to pay the asked-for $10,-for all that big suitcase of clothes, but that was only a token to save pride; the. dress was still a hand-me-down. . . Suddenly ashamed of her thoughts again, ' then, Blythe forced a cordial smile. "You take all the men's eyes, Nancy. Makes me horribly Jealous!". ,They ' all laughed at that and only Blythe herself knew that it stung a. little. Her sally hadn't been wholly untrue! "Imagine!" said big Duane. "You,, being jealous! Or anything else not . . . well, not perfect!" Blythe. was astonished. Duane Hogan didn't say such things: it amounted to an epic, from him!, Never, never in their two years of rather dose friendship, had he aid so much of her and to her. He. had called her, Blythe, per-. fectl True, he had gone right on eating,, just as if it were casual and therefore inconsequential and soon to be forgotten. But be bad - said it, even so. He had!' "You know," Norman was teas ing again, "this business of invit ing cadets to eat is a wonderful Invention. Great institution! Why dent-, more ladies do it? Why don't;, you, for instance, Nancy, take lessons in it from Mom Mil ter, hmm? Or maybe I should talk to her myself. Look, Missus Hale, is ; hint to' get some of your home cooking later, will you and Scooter go to dinner downtown with me tonight?" Nancy jumped at ma chance. ."It you'll come to potluck with me tomorrow evening, Norman!. You and Duane. I can feed home sick', soldier, boys! . We'll have a little, dinner party, just we three!"
