"Ned this is no time to joke. Of course, you're not going into the Army as a private. You're too valuable a man." Archibald French spoke with utter convic tion. The sons of all his friends were officers. There was no rea son why Ned shouldn't have a commission, too. ' But Ned shook his head again. "I'm sorry. Dad but I mean it. I've no particular training to fit me as an officer. So I'm going in as a private. Then if I show any ability Til be recommended for Officers Training. That's the American way to do it the dem ocratic way." Mr. French dabbed Jerkily at his mouth with a napkin. "There's no sense in being foolishly ideal istic about this, Ned," he opposed. "In the first place, you've no ides of what you're letting yourself in for, if you go as private. Th hardships That's just the point," Ned broke in. 'Too many officers donl know what the life of a private is. If I know, I'll be a better officer when my time comes." Charles Mowry spoke up. I think Ned's right, Mr. French. It's a fine thing he's doing. It's a dis grace the way every man with a little education or money is grab bing a commission." "It's no use talking anyway," Ned said. "My mind's made up." Bar bee saw the opposition growing in her father's face. She made her decision quickly. Slip ping from her chair she ran around the table to Ned, threw her arms around his neck and kissed him. With her arms still around Ned's neck she smiled at her father, exerting all her charm to win him over. Whatever hap pened there mustn't be a quarrel between her father and Ned now. Tm proud of him, Dad. Arent you?" Mr. French wavered and was lost When the two of them sided against him, he was rarely able to hold out He swallowed hard.. "All right son. If that s the way you want it I only hope you dont regret your decision." Ned' face lit up. "I wont Dad." "DARBEE went back to her seat, her eyes very bright with un shed tears, and pretended to listen while Ned and Charles and her father talked over Ned's imme diate plans. But she wasn't really hearing what they said. Over and over in her head tolled the dreadful words: "Ned is going to war! Ned is going to war! My brother is going to war." ' Ned and Charles went out im mediately the meal was over. Archibald French shut himself up in the library. Barbee had a feel ing that he wanted to be alone, wanted to adjust himself to the idea of his son going into the Army as a private. That hurt his pride, Barbee knew. As president of the town's leading bank, and with his finger in half a dozen financial and civic enterprises he could so easily have made the contacts necessary to get a com mission for Ned. Soberly she climbed the stairs to her room and closed the door behind her. Her own reflection looked back at her from the mir--ror opposite. It seemed so kmg ago that she had stood there preening in her new dress, a silly, frivolous girl interested only in clothes, and looking pretty. Now ' so rrihriy other things were more ' Important ' , The thought served as a spring to action. Purposefully she took off the blue dress, replaced it in Its box, smoothed the protecting tissue paper over it and fastened the lid. She'd take the dress back to the store tomorrow. The $25 that it cost would buy a war bond. The simple act of renunciation helped a little. But she was still too restless to read or listen to the radio or write '"tiers, the activi ties that usual' filled her eve nings at home. She had to keep moving or she'd .cry, and sh FUNNY BUSINESS "It's the only way we could keep our help during the 4 """""" vara I ion uminn l COCYHIOHT, t4S, NIA SIIIVICK. INC. dTdhVwaht to So thai She and Ned were unusually close for brother and sister. Per haps the fact that their mother lad died when they were very small had had something to do with drawing them closely to gether. At any rate she had al ways patterned her behavior after Ned's, and she felt a compulsion to do so now. He was happy and eager about going into the Army. She must at least try to be happy about it Slipping into a robe she went into his room. She hung up the clothes that he had left scattered around the room when he dressed for dinner. She turned down his bed, laid out his pajamas, tidied his desk. Above it in a crescent were ranged the pictures of some girls. Barbee knew most of them. There was pretty red-haired Madge Sanders, dark Carrie Craig, blond Joan Carbry, that rather plain looking girl who had the nice personality, Delia Overs treet Ned dated them all occasionally, but went with none of them steadily. Cn fact he took Barbee to dances tnd parties more often than any 9th er girl. And that brought her right to her big problem. She was going to miss Ned terribly. She simply couldn't mope around the house, worrying about him, waiting for the postman. She'd have to. do something. Do something to help win the war.' a a a TIER spirits soared and then sank with a new depression. What could she do? She had no practical training along any line whatsoever. An expensive girl's LOVABLE RAG DOLLY WITH YARN BRAIDS 7439 tarv&. by Alice Brooks Anytime is doll time for that little girl. So get started now on this rag doll with yarn hair to braid and unbraid.

We're sorry. noshing" 'school didn't fit one 'to help win a war. Her chin took on a determined slant After all there must be something she could do. She was young, healthy, strong. And then she remembered the conversation at dinner. Charles had been talk ing about a chemistry course to train women for war Jobs. There was the solution to her problem. She saw Charles about it the next morning. She'd gone over to the chemistry building early and had to wait He was in conference with the professors of the chemis try department and a government man from Washington. His face lit up when he came out into the hall and saw her. He was also surprised. "I haven't much time. Bee. We're organizing the course I'm to teach. What was it you wanted to see me about?" She told him briefly. He didn't react as she had ex pected him to. His voice was troubled. "I dont know. Bee. I I hardly think this is the thing for you." "Why not?" He explained it patiently as one would to a child. "The women we ' train here will go into laboratories in war plants. The jobs they ac cept will be hard, dirty, sometimes even dangerous. . That isnt for girl like you." ., Charles didnt know her very well, Barbee decided. A hard job, a dirty job, a dangerous job was just what she wanted. Ned had made his choice by going in the Army as a private. Well, 'she wanted to show him that she had the stamina to do a hard job, too. Later she heard Ken Carter refer to this quality as "guts," and was to wonder what Charles would have thought if she had used the expression that day. But she didn't know Ken then, didn't know his pungent way of talking, she only knew what she wanted. (To Be CoaUmted) THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson I A WALKIN&-BICYCLE , V? TrMf Jj'-.vV . '.
