He was older six years older, Janet reckoned quickly and his face was burgeoning slightly with the subtle promise of another chin. But he still wore his custom-made custom-made charm as debonarily as his well-tailored clothes. Janet flicked down he glove and looked at her watch. Three twenty-five. twenty-five. This certainly was no time to be renewing the past. She leaned back In her chair and turned as though to speak to the small boy atanding at her elbow. Perhaps Dred wouldn't recognize her. Perhaps Per-haps he wouldn't even see her and Geoff. "Janet, light of my llfel" Somehow she managed a casual smile. "Gracious," she said lightly, "it must be old-home week. How are you, Dred?" He grasped her outstretched hand and held It, for a moment, between both of his. The Cummlngs' technique. tech-nique. She could remember how that ardent pressure had thrilled her the first time they met, and how hollow It had seemed the day they parted, the day she was leaving for Reno. "I swear," he said, "you're prettier pret-tier than ever if that's possible. But of course, dolls never age, do they particularly Dresden dolls with spun-gold hair and the bluest china eyes In the world. And that's what you were, you know. The little Dresden doll I brought to life." "It was kind of you," Janet told him. "Let there be life and there was life. I should be eternally grateful" grate-ful" She wasn't bitter about it now. Not very bitter, anyhow. But he must never guess her desolation when she first realized that other women were as Indispensable to Dred Cummlngs as his brushes and palette. He must never know his memory had left a pall that not even little Geoff's sunny affection nor his father's kindness could dispel "Come, come, my dear," he was saying. "That's hardly fair. I wish you'd pose for mt again. Just once. Do you know, since our divorce I've hardly been able to touch a brush to canvas." "Except for that one-man exhibition exhibi-tion at the Anderson Galleries," Janet said wryly, "and those murals mu-rals at the fair and . . ." l "Oh, I suppose I'vt managed to struggle along," he agreed. "But how about you?" For the first time he noticed Geoff. "Why, Jan! You haven't . . . this Isn't , Janet hesitated. The flush on her cheeks deepened.' "This Is my Job," she said, reaching out and hugging Geoff close to her side. "Did you expect me to go into a convent?"

He's going to buy me a fire engine, the biggest one in the biggest store in New York." "Five," Cummlngs reflected aloud. "I must say, Jan, that isn't very flattering. You waited just about long enough for the ink to dry on the decree. What's your name, son?" "I'm Geoffrey G. Huxley Jr.," Geoff said. Somehow she managed a casual smile, lightly, "It must be old-home week." Cummlngs whistled softly. "THE Geoffrey G. Huxley? Standard Oil Huxley? You did pretty well, Jan." Janet nodded. Yes, she'd done pretty well, up to now. But any minute. min-ute. . . . She rose quickly. "I mustn't keep you Dred. It's been nice seeing you again, almost like having a lock of your hair. I . . ." Her voice trailed off. She might have known. Geoffrey G. Huxley Sr., big, hearty and perennially peren-nially rumpled, was striding toward them, an eager grin on his tanned face. "Hello, son." He stooped and tousled the boy's hair affectionately. "Hope I haven't kept you waiting long," he said to Janet She shook her head and raised her hands in a slight, helpless gesture.. "Mr. Cummings Cum-mings Mr. Huxley." "Dred Cummings?" Huxley asked with obvious interest The other man nodded. "That's right Your wife has told you about me, I suppose." Huxley glanced at Janef s strained face. "The papers have been full of those murals of yours," ha said easily. Janet stood very still, listening to their conversation, watching their faces.

"You've taken awfully good cart of Jan," she heard Cummlngs Fay. "She never looked better, not even when she was Mrs. Cummings." "Well we try to keep her happy," Huxley responded, smiling warmly at Janet. "Don't we, Geoff?" "They are good to me," Janet said, and her voice was suddenly husky. Geoff slipped his hand into hers. "How about my present?" he wanted to know. "True enough," Cummiags put in. "I mustn't get in the way of a fire engine. And I'll leave you, sir, to guard an old flame. Goodby, Janet."

Stassen (Doubleday203 p. p. 42) By Bill SchoentgeB In an age of quasi-literate politi cians, Mr. Stassen, the determined candidate for Republican presidential presiden-tial nomination, has tugged at the bootstraps of his social conscious ness and raised himself above the hurly-burly of the rote-getting mob to the rare level of a forthright political po-litical thinker who takes as his ken bis own national society. The former governor of Minnesota Minne-sota attempts no probing into the Intricacies of foreign policy and makes no bones about admitting It , His thesis Is that once a sound, forward-looking domestic organization has been achieved, an equally constructive con-structive foreign policy may be worked out from that basis. This is not to say that the lack of an expression ex-pression on foreign policy Is not felt in Mr. Stassen'a book. It is one of the shortcomings. More important, Stassen's lethargic lethar-gic estimate of foreign policy, hit relegation of It to a secondary position, posi-tion, his failure even to touch upon the voluminous subject of foreign aid, all would seem to Indicate a preference for a kind of tolerant elastic nationalism. Whether or not this is the right time for the emergence emer-gence of a strong nationalistic philosophy phi-losophy in the United States is a topio which is being subjected to universal debate. The man from Minnesota consistently refrains, in his book, from entering the discussion. discus-sion. It is an omission which undoubtedly un-doubtedly will be brought piercingly to his attention by bis more antagonistic antag-onistic colleagues. But It Is in the area of labor problems prob-lems and labor legislation that the writer is most confident of - his ground. In a single monolithic chapter chap-ter he dissects and analyzes the varying status of the United States labor movement from 1920 to 1947, and nails down with a hammer of undeceptive realism Its inevitable relation to the prosperity and soundness sound-ness of the entire economy. Stassen offers his theories on labor la-bor in the form of the testimony which he presented before the senate sen-ate labor committee in February of this year, during the period when congress was preparing the legislation legisla-tion which ultlmatly resulted in the Taft-Hartley act That law, he believes, "win be the foundation for a fair, just and well-balanced well-balanced labor policy In Amerioa." In total Stassen approves of the act Specifically, he is opposed to three portions of the law as it stands: (1) The provision making It unlawful for a labor organization to contribute to election funds; (2) tike non-Communist affidavit rule; (8) the "ultimatum" stipulating that existing ex-isting union shop contracts cannot be renewed unless and until an election elec-tion is held and a majority of al employees votes In the affirmative. For the rest of his platform. Stassen Stas-sen turns to the issues of taxation (with which he deals from the standpoint stand-point of "dynamic capital"), housing, hous-ing, survival of small business and the paucity of medical care and hospital hos-pital facilities. To each of these he brings an application of the classic Republican theory of laissez fair and damns heartily all efforts to give the federal government greater control in those fields. ii TIIE LEIII SUN.

Nine o'clock on the night before Christmas to accom modate last minute shoppers. It was too much. Nine o'clock and he'd made a date the week before with Annabelle. They were going to take in an early show and wind up the evening dancing at the Aragon. But if she were more interested in brown hair and brown eyes, if she'd sold out to hosiery well, he didn't care if the store stayed open until midnight mid-night Serve her right She'd have to work, too. "No, lady, these are all the ties we have. No, we haven't got any special numbers tucked away anywhere any-where I assure you." Rusty felt like yelling that if the woman couldn't find a single tie she liked out of the some 500 laid out in front of her she was . . . well, he didn't know what she was but he was fed up.
