She is of Italian parentage, so she has dark skin like yours. In some ways you remind me of her." Tina had been looking up at the stars. But now she suddenly looked down into the dark valley of the street and said: "Let's go in and dance." And she opened up the shutter doors and went inside. Major Ma-jor Joppolo went in after her. Captain Purvis had gone to work on Tomasino's wine, and he was making a decided nuisance of himself, him-self, so Major Joppolo persuaded him to go home. He and Giuseppe led the Captain home. When he got back to his own villa, vil-la, and was undressed and in bed, Major Joppolo felt miserable. It wasn't until nearly three o'clock that he realized why.' Giuseppe was right. It made a man feel very unhappy to be as far from home as the Bronx. New York, is from Ada-no. Ada-no. Italy. The next morning Captain Purvis sat with his feet up on his desk. He was in a bad humor. Sergeant Trapanl was out of the office. The Captain spoke to Corporal Cor-poral Chuck Schultz, who was on guard. "That Major Joppolo." he said. "I was beginning to like him, but he's a wet blanket. I was just getting a wonderful buzz on last night, and he descended on me, sober so-ber as a whitefish, and he made me go home." Corporal Schultz said: "Was you getting buzzed on that Dago red?' The Captain said: "Yeah, there's an old fish-hound down here. Giuseppe Giu-seppe took me to his house because ano Ial ft Pi "Hey, Schultz," he said. Trapani?" 'Where's he's got a couple of nice quafl, he gave me some red stuff." Corporal Schultz said: "That vino's bad stuff, sir, you don't want to get mixed up with that vino no more'n you can help. Had some myself my-self last night." Captain Purvis said: "I'm still sore at that Major." He leaned back in his chair, and put his feet up on his desk again. As he did so, he knocked some papers pa-pers on the floor. "I suppose I might as well clean up my desk. Got to do it sooner or later." He reached down on the floor and picked up the stray papers. He began, be-gan, to sort and arrange papers in piles, and he threw some away, and he got up and put some away in his files. He read some of them aloud to Corporal Schultz, who was not in the least interested. In due course he picked up a purple slip, and he said: "What's this?" And he read: "On July 19, orders were received from General Marvin, Forty-Ninth Division, to keep all mule carts out of the town of Adano. Guards were posted at bridge over Rosso River and at Cacopardo Sulphur Refinery. Order carried out On July 20, guards were removed on order of Major Victor Joppolo. ..." Captain Purvis banged the flat of a hand down on the table. "Hey, Schultz," he said. "Where's Trapani?" "Said he was just stepping out for a couple of minutes, sir, said he'd be right back. Anything I can do, sir?" "No. Wait till I get that Trapani." Trapani came in in a few minutes. min-utes. "Hey, you, come over here," Captain Cap-tain Purvis said as soon as he arrived. ar-rived. "Yes. sir." Trapani said. "What's this?" the Captain said, and he held out the purple slip. Trapani took it and looked at it "That's the report on the mule cart situation, sir," Trapani said coolly. "You told me to make out a report re-port remember?" "You're right I remember, and where did I tell you to send it?" in." "It was to go to G-one of the Division, Di-vision, sir." "Well, why didn't you send it?" "I put it on your desk for approval, ap-proval, sir." Captain Purvis huffed and puffed. He knew very well he didn't pay as much attention to his desk as he ought to. "Well, let's send it out of here. I want to personally see you put that thing in the pouch for Division." Sergeant Trapani sat right down and addressed an envelope, and put tiie slip in it, and put the envelope in the pouch which was to leave the next afternoon by courier for Division 1 headquarters. He addressed ad-dressed the envelope to the wrong person at Division, but then. Captain Cap-tain Purvis didn't notice that. A perspiring courier brought a note to Major Joppolo's office. It said in English: "I got to seen you in the immediate." And it was signed M. Cacopardo. Not five minutes behind the courier, couri-er, Cacopardo himself showed up, all dressed for traveling. He had leather leath-er gauntlets on, and goggles up on his forehead, and he carried a green parasol in his right hand. The eighty-two-year-old man trotted trot-ted the length of Major Joppolo's office, of-fice, leaned forward over his desk, looked over his shoulder at Giuseppe and Zito, then looked at the Major and said in a loud whisper: "I got to talk alone." Major Joppolo asked his interpreter interpret-er and usher to step outside. "I have received a secret messages mes-sages from the Mafia," the old man said, still whispering loudly. "I have the military secrets of where are the German troops. You must send your soldiers, Mister Major." Major Joppolo said: "I have no soldiers, I'm just the administrator, of Adano." Cacopardo said: "I got to go to the General. I am ready." . "I will send you to the General, Mister Cacopardo,'' he said, "but I. want to warn you. The General is a very impatient man. If your dope isn't straight, he'll be very angry. I don't know what he'll do to you, but it won't be nice. Also, old man, I've got to ask you not to get me in trouble with him. I'm already in Dutch with General Marvin. Prom-! ise me that you will be careful, will you?" ' "I will be careful," Cacopardo said, "but the informations is important." im-portant." Major Joppolo made out a pass for Cacopardo and sent for a jeep from the motor pool. Cacopardo stepped back, and raised his hand in a Fascist salute. Then, as his aged memory functioned, func-tioned, the hand wavered over to. his forehead, and the salute. became be-came military. And he said: "Cacopardo "Ca-copardo is sulphur and sulphur is Cacopardo." He turned on his heel, as militarily as he could, and marched out. Between the Palazzo in Adano and the headquarters of the Forty-Ninth Division, in a villa beyond Vicina-mare, Vicina-mare, old Cacopardo did not say a word to the jeep driver. He sat leaning forward against the wind, his goggles down over his eyes and his parasol straining over his head. The jeep's windshield was down on the hood, with the canvas cover over it, as all jeep windshields should be where there is possibility of enemy ene-my strafing attacks, and so the, wind was very strong. After a while old Cacopardo decided that sun was preferable to wind, and he moved the parasol down and held it in front of him, to fend off the wind. ; The villa in which the Forty-Ninthj Division was dug in for the time being had belonged to a friend of Cacopardo's. Cacopardo and this friend had shared an interest in Italian Ital-ian furniture, and the old man knew the value of the things in this villa. The friend was dead now, but Cacopardo Caco-pardo had a hard time remembering remember-ing which of his friends had died and which were still living; he therefore there-fore thought of them all as living. It was easier that way. Because he was entering the villa of his friend, whom he considered to be living, Cacopardo approached the gate in the spirit of a cordial visit, and he expected to be received re-ceived cordially. He was in for a surprise. Anyone who has never tried to see a general could not possibly know -what Cacopardo's reception was like. A sentry stopped him at the gate. "Good morning," said Cacopardo, as if addressing a butler at his friend's door, "is my friend Sala-tiello Sala-tiello here?" The sentry said: "Ain't nobody here of that name as I know of. What is he, an M.P.?" "Military Police, indeed. He is prefect of Vicinamare and a collector col-lector of wooden curiosities. He is my friend. This is his house. Is he here?" "No," Buck shouted back. "No one round here with a name like of that" "No one here that name." the sentry repeated. Cacopardo said: "Then where is General Marvin?" M.P.'s are trained to be mysterious mysteri-ous with strangers. "Jeez, I can't tell you that Bud," the sentry said. "I have a paper to see General Marvin," Cacopardo said, pulling out his pass. (TO BE CONTINUED) Exquisite Details Mark New Blousea Fagoting,' Lace, Ribbons, Needlework Add Finesse. By CIIERIE NICHOLAS Such a season as this for lovely lingerie blouses! It doesn't matter whether It is a picturesque peasant blouse such as teen-ageri are wearing wear-ing with their gay dirndl skirts, or whether it be a filmy embroidered and lacertrimmed creation that milady wears with her smart black faille town suit, they are all be-guillngly be-guillngly feminine and lovely this summer. It's the importance of exquisite blouses in the summer mode that's the big news this season. The new blouse fashions call for the finest of laces, beautiful needlework and various va-rious other fetching details that bespeak be-speak flattery for the wearer. Seeing See-ing the new collections, one Is Impressed Im-pressed with the "lovely lady" look that reflects from even the simplest models. Materials favored for the new blouse lovelies include the ever beloved be-loved batiste that takes so beautifully beauti-fully to hand-embroidery, sheer cot-tan cot-tan voiles, fine-textured lawns and dotted swiss. Many of the prettiest blouses are made of allover eyeleted eye-leted white weaves from the sheerest sheer-est to the crisp eyeleted piques, and clever things are being done with organdy, too. It's the hand fagoting, the beautifully beauti-fully hand-rolled edges and the delicate deli-cate needlework, lovely laces and ribbon-threaded beading that add exquisite finesse to these very lovely fabrics. Fine lace ruffled down the front to form a Jabot effect is a favorite fa-vorite blouse trim. Sometimes the jabot is of self fabric finished with a hand-rolled hem or a narrow lace edging. Animated little bows formed of lace insertion and embroidery finished fin-ished off with dainty Val lace edging edg-ing start at the neck of a most attractive at-tractive sheer white blouse, and continue to the waistline. It is quite an idea to buy button-on lacy bows or rosettes (you can also get them in eyeleted pique) to have in readiness readi-ness when you wish to give added fillip to one of your simpler blouses. What fun the young set is having hav-ing with their bizarre eye-thrilling dirndls topped with their naive lit-the lit-the blouses of peasant influence 1 These range from the simplest types with drawstring necklines or finished off with beading or threaded with wee black velvet ribbon, rib-bon, to really very elaborate versions. ver-sions.

MOVING TO THE COUNTRY After returning from service Harry was able to return to his old position as a claim adjust' er. He is earning a good salary and seemingly should be glad to get back into the old ways. His wife says she loves him as much as ever. They have two daughters, five and three, who are attending day nursery school. Yet with all this, Harry is moody, unsociable and restless. rest-less. He no longer is well balanced bal-anced and light hearted. Something Some-thing weighs him down. He wants to get away from his job, the association of family and friends, the familiar scenes. Lately he has fixed his mind on going into farming. He has found a 52-acre place somewhat some-what rundown, and only partly part-ly cultivated at present. There are two houses on it, one of three rooms, the other seven. Both are in poor condition. It is here, 35 miles from town, that Harry wants to move his family. Harry's wife doesn't like the prospects. If you art lucky to hava a country retreat, whert he can find peace and quiet, putter with farm machinery, raise chickens, milk cows, sell fruit, where he can take his loved wife, baby girls, books and forget the world for a while, thank God for it By KATHLEEN NORRIS T TOW long must we put I I up with my husband's X JL postwar disillusionment disillusion-ment and discontent?" writes Mrs. Harry Kling of Chicago. "He came back four months ago, and after the first delight at having him home again, honorably discharged, it has been nothing but difficulty and gloom. He was always a well-balanced well-balanced man, affectionate, steady and contented. He is now nervous, critical, or worse than all darkly silent for hours. He has gone back Into his old firm of claim adjusters, ad-justers, and is making good money, with good prospects ahead. But I can't stand this sort of home life much longer. long-er. No harmony, no conversation, conversa-tion, no plans, no fun. He is 35, 1 am 32; our daughters are 5 and 3.

Won't he outgrow this in time? Wouldn't it be wiser to wait, for the girls sake and for all cur sakes?" My answer to this is, my dear Mrs. Kling, don't make the mistake of thinking that this fearful war, some of whose phases have ended, Is like any other war that ever was. After peace negotiations with the powers of savagery and lawlessness are signed, sealed and delivered, we still have a titanic Job ahead of us service folk and civilians alike. This postwar Job will not only be to preserve pre-serve world peace, it will be to preserve pre-serve world sanity. A Shattered World. It will not be only to keep a few hundred thousand depressed and mentally affected men sane; it will be to keep us all sane. This war has bitten too deep into the equilibrium equilib-rium of humanity; too much that is unthinkable and unbearable has happened. Europe will be peopled by millions of folk who have known what it was for weeks, months, years to be homeless, hungry, hun-gry, desperate. The sacred thing that is a man's right to work, to love, to serve his family, to build his home has been outraged and destroyed. Barren wastes of ashes and ruins will ba wearily searched and combed by vaguely wandering hordes children whose first experience ex-perience of life was fright fear, hunger. Women who have looked upon death, death in the mass, heaped hundreds of Innocent women and children slain, and lying un-buried un-buried in what once were grassy parks and splendid streets. Nothing like this ever has happened hap-pened in the world before. Try to realize that we will not only be fighting, fight-ing, in these years to come, for those alien peoples overseas, we will be fighting with every humane and scientific weapon in our power for ourselves. That honor and charity and service may live on in the world, that homes and firesides, books and schools and tree-shaded towns may still exist that our hearts and souls shall not be ravaged rav-aged again by the fearful cruelties man may Inflict upon his fellow-man, fellow-man, will take all that we have of courage and vision and hard, humble hum-ble labor. A Country Retreat. Your man has done his share. He has jeopardized his reason in these years when you and the babies waited for him, safe and snug in protected America. Now you three persons whom he loves must give him back those years. If you are lucky enough to have a country retreat where he cas find peace and quiet, where he car, putter with farm machinery, raise chickens, milk cows, sell fruit; where he can take his loved wife, his books, his baby girls, and forget the great world for awhile, thank God for It Take it gratefully, and as hs grows stronger and saner you'll see how he longs to share it, to let other wounded souls and bodies rest under his big trees, to let other bewildered soul-scarred men fish his stream, help harvest his corn, sleep deep in the country guest room shaded by the pear trees. We are going to find some big words for what we have to do for our men now. Teaching, helping, cheering, healing. Begin with your own. Forget all the past, as Europe must' Think only of a better tomorrow, tomor-row, and do your share to make it eome true. Preventing Tootb Decay Fluorine solutions, mouthwashes and fluorine in drinking water are under experimentation.

Meat Eaters The Australian civilian normally is the heaviest meat-eater in the world with an average consumption of more than 200 pounds a year. In 1944, rationing had cut the average aver-age Australian meat consumption to 130 pounds a head. This compared with 157 pounds a head in Canada, 147 pounds in the United States and 107 pounds in the United Kingdom for the same period. White Mice Millions of white mice have been employed throughout the country in the war effort. Hospitals, medical centers and research laboratories are using over 50,000 mice a week for inoculation, drug tests and vari-i ous medical uses. The government uses upward of 1,000,000 white mice a year in guarding the health of soldiers the world over. , Cabbage Leaves I Government food scientists have' found that the outer green wrapper leaves of cabbage are the ones richest rich-est in vitamins.
