The woman next to Pat was voluble. ' i"Ot course I cant be positive, but I think it was the coupe, she declared angrily. "The window win-dow was misted, I admit, but I saw it cut across in front of the bus just as we stonped. -Oughtn't to be hard to catch the driver. It was sheeFmurder, that's what. I -have a sister-in-law who was hit by a car last year. She was in the hospital for months, and her leg still bothers her. The police po-lice ought to do something to drivers who go like mad. It's terrible, ter-rible, awful" The rest of the. ride home was uncomfortable. The knowledge that tragedy had come so close made Pat nervous, depressed. The bright lights of home welcomed wel-comed her through the door, and the odor of food .made her realize just how hungry she was after lunching on nothing but an orange. Hats tossed heedlessly on the chair nearest the door testified to the presence of the boys. The radio blared to a dance band. Bill sat sprawled in a big chair reading read-ing the sport pages while Joe twisted the radio dial over to police po-lice calls. "Hi, handsome," their young voices, deep bass now, greeted her. "Shed your coat, sis, we're ready to eat." Her mother came in from the kitchen. "Yes, they've been ready for an hour. You'd think they'd hAn nr a Hint fnr o rv-ksti Ia 1 hear all this talk about 'hurry up I dinner.'" She smiled and put her L soft cheek against Pat's. "Have a , hard day, darling? I thought j--- you'd be home earlier." f npRITE, comfortable talk that I . pushed the outside world far j away. Pat hung up her wraps, I deposited her bundles in her room, brushed her rain-damp hair into waves. Downstairs the police call, broke into a monotonous I $fream of announcements.

A blue coupe: thousands of them in the city, of course. No other identification identifi-cation as yet. A little stab of fear thrust at her heart, but she pushed it away. Thousands of such cars. Too traffic-conscious. That was all. Voices from downstairs broke the spell. She gave her nose a final dab of powder and went down to the security of the family. Eisten, handsome," Bill interrupted inter-rupted his attack on a well-filled plate to turn to her. "About those jobs Larry promised me and Joe this summer.

"It's not just buying a car," she said slowly. "There's insurance. You'd simply have to have that, and sometimes I think a car's a terrible worry. So many accidents happen ' her voice trailed off as the boys overwhelmed over-whelmed her. "My gosh, Pat, we know how to drive. Haven't we . been driving Artie's car for two years? It isnt as" though we were Jbeginners. You got a complex from that old traffic court," Joe said impatiently. "It's a wonder you don't try to make Larry stop selling cars." "Well, it doesn't have to be decided de-cided tonight anyway," Pat said finally. "I just want you to realize, real-ize, though, that there is a responsibility re-sponsibility in owning a car." 'T'HE boys forgot the matter while they concentrated on ice cream made in the new electric refrigerator, and after the dishes had been done Pat thought of her date that evening. They were to a really smart affair, Larry had explained. She went upstairs to look at her dress a last summer's party gown that she had fresh - pnoH anH ViT-i ahiorseii rith new she hadn't known Larry last sum mer. The dress would be new to him, but whether or not it would be appropriate for a dance at the club was another . worry. Her fears disappeared when she went to the phone to answer a call from Larry. "I'll be a little late," his drawling drawl-ing voice came to her. "Delayed at the office a bit,' but we'll get i there in plenty of time. Pick you up around 9:30." She felt the exhilarating thrill that always came when she heard his voice. "Of course, darling. I was late getting home myself. Don't hurry. Just take your time and be careful." She had meant to tell him that he had narrowly avoided being .hld up by an accident that afternoon. after-noon. If anything ever happened to nim she didn't know what life would hold for her. She meant to tell him iater just how fortu-nate fortu-nate he had been to be ahead of that crash.

"People that count It canvhelp me, if I really get in with the right crowd. They spend money for cars all right. No cheap jobs for them. Why I just heard that Dottie Barnes is in the market for Another model. She's the one I told you about last winter, 'member?" Rememberof course she did. Pat felt the lace of her frock, looked: down at the new sandals, wondered in a moment of panic just how she would -compare with . the other girls.

She did want to help Larry, wanted him to be proud of ; her, to help him make friends, only she didn't see why he placed such importance on these people. The subject made her uncomfort- : able. She switched the conversation. conversa-tion. , aI saw a horrible accident on the way home," sh-toid him. "A car struck a woman' and' child ' Larry interrupted roughly. "Now for heaven's sake, Pat, let's not talk traffic. You get it all day, and I should think you'd want to forget it once, in a while." She sank back in the seat at a loss. "I'm sorry, Larry. I didn't mean to. Tell me did you have a busy day? Where all did you go?" "It was busy enough. Went to High Hill about 5. That held me up and I went straight home from there. Didn't even go back to the office." High Hill far out north, Pat thought mechanically. High Hill and then straight home. .Why he couldn't have been on Fourth then, at 5:45 if he were on the other side of town. She laughed at her own silliness.
