Captain Purvis said: "Where are these pretty mackerel the old fish-hound fish-hound is supposed to have? Say, Major, we got to make a deal here. Giuseppe here says he thinks I'd like the dark one best" Giuseppe put in a word for his loyalty: "I'm a save a blonde for you, boss." Major Joppolo really didn't know what to say. Giuseppe said quickly to the fat Rosa, "Where are the girls?" The mother said: "If you think you can hurry two pretty girls trying try-ing to make themselves prettier, you'll find them in the bedroom." Major Joppolo was alarmed to see Giuseppe get up and go into the bedroom. He wondered what kind of girls these were, anyhow. But in a few moments' Giuseppe came back, leading a girl by each hand. He had apparently explained the situation to the girls, because Tina went directly to Major Joppolo, Jop-polo, shook his hand, and sat down beside him, and the dark one, Fran-cesca, Fran-cesca, went straight to Captain Purvis, Pur-vis, shook his hand, and sat down by him. "Mmm," said Captain Purvis, "not bad." He felt secure in the certainty that the girls did not speak English. "Take it easy," Major Joppolo said. Tina said in Italian: "I heard you breathing in, church last Sunday. 1 SHZfifiV ... ; "1 : "I've never been so happy in my life." You ought to take more exercise, Mister Major." Major Joppolo said: "I was late, I was very late. I got working on something, and I lost track of time. I had to run to church. It was very embarrassing." ' Tina said: "You had Father Pen-sovecchio Pen-sovecchio worried. I could tell by the way he got mixed up in his service." serv-ice." Major Joppolo said: "Do you go to church every Sunday?" Tina said: "Of course." Major Joppolo was able to talk with Tina, interrupted only once in a while by bursts from the mother and gales of laughter all around the room, except from Tomasino, who stared moodily at the floor. The Major said: "Do you always go to the Church of San Angelo?" This time it was Tina who blushed. "No," she said. "Giuseppe "Giu-seppe told me you were going to be there. I ,. wanted to see what the American Major was like. Most Sundays I go, to the Church, of the Benedettini." Major Joppolo said: "What did you think of the American Major?" Tina said: "He breathes very loudly, like the leaky bellows of the pipe organ at the Benedettini." The Major laughed. "Have a piece of torrone," Tina said. "I made it" t One could not very well turn down an invitation put just that way, so the Major took a big piece. The candy was passed all around the room, and for a time all conversation conversa-tion stopped. Nothing could be hear except the crunching of nuts between teeth and the smacking sound of boiled sugar coming unstuck un-stuck from teeth. During this time of chewing, Major Joppolo couldn't help thinking how strange it was to build a whole evening around the eating of torrone, but that seemed to be the program. When he dared, Major Joppolo said "Good." Captain Purvis could afford to be more honest in English. He said: "WTiat did we come to, a glue factory?" fac-tory?" "Another piece," Tina said to the Major cordially. "In a few minutes," the Major said. "We must have some wine," the fat and happy Rosa said. "Go out in the kitchen, fool," she laid to and get a bottlef Mar- Tomasino, sala." Wine on top of torrone, and probably prob-ably mixed right up with it Major Joppolo could think of nothing less tempting, but Captain Purvis, hear-ing hear-ing the word vino, shouted: "Vino, hurray for vino." Major Joppolo stood up and said: "Purvis, either you shut your big trap or I'll throw you out of here." Captain Purvis said: "Aw come on, Major, don't be a spoil sport. You know you feel the same way, if you were just honest enough to say so." "Shut up, Purvis!" The Major's eyes blazed. "That's an order. Now you behave yourself." Captain Purvis stood, up and saluted sa-luted with a wavering dignity. Tomasino came back with the wine, and Captain Purvis Baluted the bottle, bending slightly at the waist and aiming the breakaway of the salute straight at the bottle. Rosa, sensing that something was wrong, shouted desperately: "My buy, my buy!" But nobody laughed. Tina jumped up and said: "Let's dance;," and she ran over to the ra-, dio and turned on Radio Moscow. "Moscow always has the best music," mu-sic," she said. Francesca, with Major Joppolo's help, carried the table from the middle of the room to the end away from the radio. Captain Purvis rushed over to Rosa, held out his arms, and said: "Okay, fatso, let's dance." . Rosa understood from his gestures what he meant, and she stood up laughing. The tipsy Captain and his huge partner careened around the room. After a couple of turns Rosa collapsed into a chair. Then Captain Purvis danced with Francesca, and Major Joppolo with Tina. They stamped and laughed and talked above the music until Tomasino said glumly: "You are making too much noise. You will wake the girls." Tina ran over and toned the radio down a little. "The girls?" the Major said. ' Tina blushed. She said: "My sister's daughters." "Francesca's?" "Oh, no, of my sister who is in Rome." Major Joppolo did not think to ask why the daughters were in Ada-no Ada-no and the mother in Rome; or why. Tina blushed; or why she did not seem very anxious to talk any more about the sleeping girls. "Let's dance some more," she said. So they danced until they were both sweating in the midsummer heat. It was Tina who said: "Some fresh air, Mister Major?" He said: "That would be a good idea." Tina said: "We can go right out here." She slipped out through wooden shutter doors onto a narrow balcony bal-cony over the dark street, and the Major followed her. Tina closed the shutter doors behind be-hind the Major. The two stood against the cool iron of the balcony railing and looked up at the sharp stars. Tina said: "Do you like it Here?" Major Joppolo said: "I've never been so happy in my life." "That seems strange," Tina said, "when you're so far from home." "Im not so far from home, in a way. Florence is almost a home to me. My father and mother were from a little town near Florence." "Where are you from, in America Ameri-ca I mean?" "The Bronx, ' Tina." "Where is that the Bronx?" "New York." "The Bronx is part of New York City?" "Sometimejs I. think New York City is part of the Bronx." "Oh, I should love to go there. Is the Bronx beautiful? Is it beautiful beau-tiful for Florentines in the Bronx? How would it be for someone from Adano?" "For my Florentine parents, I think it is beautiful, yes, it is beautiful. beau-tiful. In Italy they were just poor peasants, and you know it is not very beautiful for most of the peasants peas-ants here. There my father is a waiter. He has a very good job, in the University Club, it is a very nice atmosphere, all the chairs are leather like in the Palazzo and the walls are all panelled. My mother has a washing machine. Father has a car. It is very beautiful for them, I think. For me, it was not always al-ways so beautiful." "Why not, Mister Major?" . "Well, it's hard to explain. You see, I grew up in America. I could see that the Bronx was not the most beautiful place in America. I always wanted a little more than we had. I don't know, it's hard to explain." "No," said Tina, "you don't have to explain. I know what it is to be restless. That's why my hair is blonde, I guess." Major Joppolo had made up his mind that Tina's hair was dyed. But he didn't expect her to talk about it. Tina sensed his embarrassment "Oh, my hair is not natural, Mister Major. I dyed it because I was not satisfied. My dark hair was my Bronx. Every one had dark hair. I wanted something different" TO BE CONTINUED) Kathleen Norris Says: 'Breaking a Soldier's Heart Bell Syndicate. WNU Feature My mother andtisters toy they iters toy they will not tee me a earn if Marylm ana l are reconciled. What thall f do? I feel like I have no home, no family and no friendi." By KATHLEEN NORRIS EVERY woman, in the next tremendous years ' of our country's history, is going to be either a taker or a giver. Every old, old woman, with the end of her labors and the quiet of death in sight, and every very young woman ten, twelve, seventeen seven-teen years old, must put herself her-self into the class of the takers or that of the givers, v We have come of age in the last terrible years, we Americans. We begin to see the great future that opens before us, a future in which the nations of the world shall all be friends, shall be speaking, as it were, the same language, shall solve together the age-old problems of want and excess, bitter need and extravagance, Inflated currency; depressed de-pressed currency, overproduction," underproduction. But this glorious future, that shall remake the whole history of man, will not be reached without acts of separate and individual heroism on your part and mine. It cannot be reached without our determination to achieve it It is there the glorious glori-ous tomorrow, without fear, without with-out poverty , without war. But the statesmen and diplomats and soldiers sol-diers who are at the top of all our governments cannot accomplish it It is only the people, ourselves, who can do that Hence it is needful for every woman in the world this summer morning to look her own circumstances, circum-stances, her own conduct, severely in the eye, and decide just where she falls short. Just how much is she helping her neighbors to become be-come loyal and useful Americans? Just what sum of happiness, security, se-curity, service is she rendering to her own people? 'Devil of a Mess. Here Is a letter that gives the dark side of the picture, I quote it only in part "I've come home," writes Pvt. Bates McVayne, "to a devil of a mess. Maybe my nerves are still shaken from a pretty rotten time in the Pacific. Well, anyway, when I left two years ago our kid was three days old. It was like death to part with them, but the arrangement arrange-ment was that Marylin and the baby were to live with my mother and sisters, and everything was going go-ing to be swell. "Marylin and the girls quarrelled, and Marylin took the baby and went and lived with a woman friend. Here the baby was so neglected that my mother went and got her one day and brought charges against my wife, in court Marylin then went to live with a man she'd met and fallen in love with,, and is still there, and the baby too. The baby seems happy, and doesn't know me, of course, and Marylin wants a divorce, but the man she is with wants me to pay for it as he thinks charges of complicity or alienation, of affection could be brought against him if he pays for It Marylin says she will come back to me if I say so, as she feels she treated me badly. My mother and sisters say they will not see me again if Marylin and I are reconciled. recon-ciled. What shall I do? I feel like I have no home, no family and no friends." There is a warm welcome home Ct hold of the little girl , BITTER HOMECOMING Probably not many return-ing return-ing soldiers will find as unhappy unhap-py a situation at home as Bates McVayne did, but there is a lot of heartbreak ahead for many poor fellows. His wife was wrong, of course, to live with another man while her husband hus-band was away fighting, but she is trying to make amends. It's his mother and sisters who are making a bad situation worse. They have told Bates that they will never speak to him again if he takes his wife back! There's a little daughter in the picture, too. Bates would like to have her, in any case. She tvas only a few days old when he left, and does not remember re-member her father, of course. Then there is the other man. He wants Bates to give Marylin Mary-lin a divorce, and to pay for it too! This maddening mess is a soldier's homecoming "present." "pres-ent." "I feel," Bates writes, "like I have no home, no family fam-ily and no friends." tor a tired soldier! I am advising Bates to wait; to get hold of his little girl and take her to his mother for a long visit, this without antagonizing antag-onizing Marylin or anyone else. Under the circumstances he will have no trouble in getting hold of the child. His sisters will probably be especially gracious with this arrangement, ar-rangement, and time to cool off and view ' the situation dispassionately will be given everyone. Such Women Are No Help. But what takers these five women wom-en are, and how far from their conception con-ception of things is the idea of giving! Giving help, hospitality, friendship, giving service, cooperation, coopera-tion, comfort Their letters to Bates might have been family chronicles full of content, family gossip, cheering cheer-ing reports, hopeful plans. They might have made it impossible for him to forget that he is loved, needed, missed every hour. Instead they have regaled him on petty suspicions, quarrels, scandals, law suits. He has been tormented by anxieties for his child, .regret for his mother's distress, resentment at the infidelity of his wife. If America and the world are ever to emerge from today's terrible ter-rible shadow of war, it will not be through women like these that they will be saved. We never can solve national ard international problems while our own lives are a confusion of discontents, debts, doubts, idleness, idle-ness, indifference, selfishness. We need strong doses of the old-fashioned virtues of faith, hope and charity. Charity toward starving China, of course, stricken Europe, of course, the claims of the Red Cross, the War Chests, the homes and aides and drives and institutions, institu-tions, of course. But faith and hope and charity first of all for our own people the people with whom we have breakfast, and for whom we set the dinner table at night. If each of us plants the three cardinal virtues vir-tues in the home circle, the world will one day become one great home circle and very close to the Kingdom of God.
