'"Russell, '"Rus-sell, leaving, so I'll have to go now. Remember - eight o'clock Russell will come for you. Oh, look there's Diego Gongaro." A tall heavy-set man of about fifty, fif-ty, with iron-gray hair, the pock-marks pock-marks on his face visible from where they stood, was sitting at one of the small tables at the corner of the terrace, absorbed in his newspaper news-paper and cup of coffee. He had a short clipped mustache and shaggy eyebrows, and an air . . . definitely an air, Anne thought. Who is he?" she asked. "He's your friend Miguel Valera's uncle. But he's not like the Valeras. He mixes with the Americans. Of course he's Spanish, he', not Puerto Rican. And my dear" She lowered her voice to a whisper. whis-per. "He has a mistress. You know if. quite customary down here. If. perfectly above board, except their wives pretend they don't know it Well, I've got to go. It's perfectly swell having you down. I'll see you tomorrow." Anne nodded. She turned back to the window. As she looked down, she saw Diego Gongaro get up and make his way casually through the arcade into the hotel. Almost Immediately Richard Taussig got up too. Even more She lowered her voice to a whisper. whis-per. "He has a mistress." casually he strolled over to the table ta-ble Diego Gongaro had left and picked up the folded newspaper. He came back 'to his chair and sat down again. Anne watched him unfold the paper, moving back instinctively in-stinctively a little behind the long chintz curtains. She could see very clearly the piece of letter paper inside in-side it. Mr. Taussig glanced around him, glanced up at her window, looked down at the paper in front of him a moment, and slipped it unobtrusively unobtrusive-ly into his pocket He put the newspaper down on the table, got up and strolled into the hotel The Officers Club at El Morro was inside the gate, overlooking the golf course, the graveyard and the Atlantic At-lantic Ocean. It was part of the old Spanish barracks. When the waiter had gone Anne said, "Look, Pete-do you know anything about a man named Richard Rich-ard Taussig? He was on the ship." "Sure" Pete said cheerfully. He kept from looking at her. "I know all about him. He's an internationally interna-tionally known sanitary engineer. He', dining with the General on Friday, and the Governor Saturday. Satur-day. He has the blessing of Washington. Wash-ington. Why?" "I lust wondered. Do you suppose sup-pose he can do anything about the water supply at the Granada? "I wish he'd start here, if he can. But you don't have to worry about Mr. Taussig. He cant help his face. He's Okay." He poured the rest of hu beer Into his glass. .., "Any other information? Public Relations is sort of mj Job." Then do you happen to know Russell Porter?" Anne w dear I know everything. Pete said bl'andly. "Russell Porter i, the local representative of Consolidated. Con-solidated. He's to charge of . big lSgatLbis.watch.

She .miled. tl DoDl teU me you're like Sue Porter?" He looked at her soberly. In in? ' unie- You hav en"t fallen in love with that guy, have you?" Her gaze wandered out across the roUing green lawn to the ocean. She ! had asked herself that all the h JmJthe Granada- The note she d found in her mall box-"You nave a caller, to I won't disturb you. but I'll be around at six and ? 8feD,t engaged may I take ou to dinner?"had set her heart dancing and her eyes sparkling as she .tuffed it into her bag and ran out to the taxi. Maybe that was what it was. She hadn't been in love often enough to be very sure about it But it was something-something something-something new and different Miguel Valera waited for Anne to sit down. It hadn't occurred to her that they wouldn't have dinner alone, or that she could be suddenly dashed as she was when she stepped out of the elevator and saw his uncle un-cle Diego Gongaro and his cousin Graciela there in the lobby with him. "1 understand you are a newspaper news-paper writer, Miss Heywood," Don Diego said. His smile was quick and warm. Anne was instantly aware of two things. The first was that he thought it amusing that such an attractive young woman should be anything of the sort The second was that it was odd he should have known it She had carefully concealed it from Miguel. Pete Wilcox was the only other person on the Island who knew It Unless ... She thought about the letters in her suitcases. There was one to the correspondent of the press syndicate her father', papers pa-pers used in Puerto Rico. And that meant that Diego Gongaro must have talked to Richard Taussig during dur-ing the afternoon and that they'd talked about her. It was all very curious. "I've worked on my father', paper, pa-per, if that, what you mean," she said. "I wasn't much good." "I am pleased to hear that Se-norita. Se-norita. We believe a woman has a higher place in society. She should let her husband take care of her." "But if she hasn't a husband?" Anne said. "That surely wouldn't be difficult for you, Miss Heywood." Graciela put her untasted cocktail cock-tail on the table. Her cheeks were flushed. At no time would Anne ever have believed that the appearance of Mr. Richard Taussig could effect anything any-thing but distaste. Just then she was distinctly relieved. She actually actu-ally found herself smiling and saying say-ing "Good evening" with the utmost ut-most cordiality to the man she objected ob-jected to more than any other man she knew. "Good evening, Miss Heywood," Mr. Taussig said. He turned to Miguel. "You must be delighted to be back home again. It's so perfect per-fect here." Anne found herself blinking a little. lit-tle. Mr. Taussig, dressed in immaculate im-maculate white linen, was as courteous courte-ous as Don Diego himself. "This is my uncle, Mr. Gongaro Mr. Taussig," Miguel said. They shook hands. "This i. a great pleasure, Mr. Gongaro," Mr. Taussig said. There was nothing to indicate that they had ever seen or heard of each other before. It was the same when they all went into dinner together. Only once did she have the quick sense of fear that she'd had the afternoon in the ship's library. That was when Mr. Taussig started to put his green guide book on the floor beside his chair. She held out her hand, not because she wanted to see it but because it was something they could talk about that perhaps Graciela could talk about too. She hadn't said a word since be came. Anne tried to analyze what had happened just then. What he said was, "Now, now, Miss Heywood, this i. my book." It was bland and playful, but there had been something else in it Mr. Taussig put the book down on the other side of his chair. "Of course when the bases here are finished, fin-ished, I Imagine your unemployment problem will be bad," he .aid. "I understand the five-hundred-acre law will work an additional hardship hard-ship on your economy. Does it affect af-fect your father, Mr. Valera?" "My father is not a corporation, fortunately," Miguel Valera .aid. It was the longest meal Anne ever tat through. If her own voice had been a victrola record and her amile on a motion-picture .creen across the room they couldn't have been more detached from her. It seemed hour, before' the coconut sherbet served in polished half coconut shells came and went and they had coffee cof-fee At least she thought a. they finally got up to go. she wa. sure of a number of things the hadn t been sure of before. One was that Miguel had asked her to dinner Just because he was Latin and polite to visiting firemen. Another was that Graciela was not bright enough to realize that, or to realize that her open resentment of Anne was ttu-pid. ttu-pid. Or maybe it wasn't Maybe Latins liked their women to be Jeal- UBut chiefly she knew that .he was either stark raving mad or that Richard Taussig was something pro-, foundly different from what they n thought b was. (TO BK CONTDifSD) Kathleen Norris Says: Should Iter Husband Be Told? Bell Syndlcate.-WNU Feature. "Here is a wife of 28 with two small sont and a devoted husband, who I carrying on like a girl in her teens. Should her husband be told?" By KATHLEEN NORRIS "W rHENasoldier'swife! A is unfaithful to him, and he is far away in the South Pacific, should he be told or shouldn't he?" writes Aubrey Davis, from an eastern capital. "My sister-in-law and I have been living together to-gether since both our men went away to war," her letter goes on, "and I am intensely distressed at Anne's conduct. I'm not moralizing, I have my own faults, I know, but here is a wife of 28, with two small sons and a devoted husband, hus-band, who is carrying on like a girl in her teens. "Anne is extremely pretty and she goes out with men all the time I accepted that situation. She sleeps late, laughs over the flowers and candy that arrive regularly, regu-larly, claims that Billy, my brother, would be the first to want her to have a good time. She i. out all night practically every night She stays home for the children's .upper .up-per I have two little girls dresses afterward and is gone at about seven. Soldier Has Confidence in Wife. "The real tragedy is that Billy adores Anne, and she evidently writes him most affectionately, for his letters are filled with gratitude. She sends him snapshots of the boys, books, presents. He has the utmost confidence in her: his wife, the mother moth-er of his two loved little boys, his Anne. The truth would shatter him, he could never trust her again, and yet is it right to let him go on writing her of his love and longing, while she is wasting all her emotions emo-tions on another man? "There is a fine group of service wives in this particular town; we meet, read, sew, get into canteen and Red Cross work, enjoy our children, chil-dren, our Victory gardens, movies and radio programs. My own life is filled to the brim with interests, many of which I will carry on when my own John gets home, because they broaden my outlook so much. But none of these interests Anne, she lives a mysterious life of her own. - She say. she loves Billy a. mucbrs ever and simply can't help attracting men to her, and that when Billy gets home she'll tell him herself her-self that she's been foolish, and that he'll forgive her. But if I know my brother, he won't and it make, me miserable to have thi. .ituation go on and on, and have her apparently feel herself quite beyond the reach of the law. What should I do?" My dear Aubrey, you should do nothing. Except to go on with your own reasonable and well-ordered life, and stand ready to extend friendship and help to Anne when the crash comes. Say nothing of her affair, to anyone, ignore them, for the time i. approaching when they can't be ignored, and having sowed the wind .he will reap the whirlwind. Should your brother ever reproach you for having kept him in the dark, you have the perfect excuse. It is nobody', business to interfere between be-tween man and wife; your tattling would only lower you in his esteem and in your own. He needs everything every-thing that affection can do for him now; even if it is only Anne, rather shallow affection. Let the situation rest as it is for the time being. You are the one to be made uneasy now; presently it will be Billy's turn. Anne Will Pay for Foolishness. But in the end it will be Anne who pays the piper. Life has a way of catching up with such women. They PROBLEM OF A CHEAT. AG WIFE Anne is married to a soldier in the Pacific. They have two children.

What they really are doing Is pull ing down the very structure of civi lization and social responsibility And never in the world did we need a strong moral force in our domestic affairs as we do now.

FIVE TIPS FOB BOND SPEAKERS War bond promoters facing their first speaking assignments were offered of-fered five suggestions by Josept F. O'Brien, professor of speech al Pennsylvania State college. 1. Think of your audience as youi friends and neighbors. Make youi speech sound as if you were talking things over with them. 2. Begin humorously. 3. Give down-to-earth facts suet as how many bonds it takes to buj a single Jeep. 4. Don't forget the purely selfish appeal. While it's patriotic to buj bonds, there's also a positive per tonal gain. 5. Close with a serious note. War Is serious business. FIRST-AID AILING HOUSE by Koge B, Whitman Roger B.

Answer: There are several way. of removing that hard water deposit de-posit Fill the kettle with water mixed with cider vinegar in the proportion of a cupful to a quart. Bring to a boil and allow to stand overnight Another way is to mash three or four raw potatoes in the kettle with a little water. After standing for several hours, more water wa-ter is added, and the whole is brought to a boil. To prevent scale from forming, keep an oyster shell or flat stone in the kettle. In hard water sections of the country, coun-try, a teakettle with a spout is not 60 practical as an ordinary saucepan. sauce-pan. (Have you thought of installing a water softening unit after the war?) The following item was sent in by one of our readers: "My mother moth-er advised me to empty my kettles of remaining hot water and set them away with fresh cold water in them. I followed her advice for eight year., now. and have no scale in either my copper water pan or enameled teakettle." tea-kettle." STUD SPACES Question: In my house the spaces between the studs are open to the cellar, and run all the way to the X . ,.V V H attic. The house is 15 years old, and the builder tells me that those spaces should be closed. What advantage ad-vantage would there be in closing them? Answer: With those spaces open to the cellar and attic there is a continual draft through them. In winter this draft tends to chill the house, and, at all times, it would Buck a cellar fire into the walls. There is every advantage in closing those spaces. . . , Drier Basket Stuck Fast . Question: We bought a secondhand second-hand washing machine. The directions direc-tions said to remove the agitator and drier basket to clean the tub after each washing is done. The drier basket evidently is so caked with soap that it will not budge. The manufacturer's suggestion wa. to force it out with rope, but still the basket won't budge. What can you suggest? Answer: Try soaking with a hot, solution of washing soda, about two pounds to the gallon of water. Allow Al-low to soak for 24 hours or so, then try to remove the basket It may be that the basket is jammed on the shaft. A machine-shop mechanic mechan-ic or your plumber may be able to remove it for you. Wavy Shingle. Question: What makes a new asbestos as-bestos shingle roof full of waves, instead in-stead of lying flat? Is there any remedy? Answer: Asbestos shingles are rigid. You probably have asphalt shingles on your roof. These, when put on over wood shingles without filling in the hollow spaces at the butts of the old shingles, will follow the contour of the roofing under it when the heat of the sun softens the asphalt" Bevel or "feather-edge" wood strips should have been used to make a level surface for new shingles. shin-gles. Nothing can be done to eliminate elimi-nate the waviness except to re-lay the shingles. Insulating a House Question: What is the best time of year to have insulation blown into a dwelling? When openings are made In winter, is not the cold, damp air trapped inside the walls? Answer: Insulation can be blswn in at any time of year, provided the weather is clear. Cold weather will not affect the efficiency of the material used.
