Then he wondered why he had reacted so quickly and so happily to the Captains suggestion. The Captains attitude toward these girls disgusted the Major. The Captain regarded the girls as trash; he seemed to think of them as something to buy and sell, like Italian watermelon and grapes and red wine. The Major refused to believe that he was falling into this way of thinking. And so it happened that the two dissimilar men went that evening to the house at 9 Via Vittorio Emanu-el- e with very similar feelings of excitement and anticipation. Major Joppolo and Captain Purvis caught the family of Tomasino by surprise that evening. The fat Rosa was sitting on the living room floor plucking a chicken, and there were feathers all over the room. The radio was on, and the two little daughters of the sister who was In Rome were sitting by it, also on the floor. Francesca and Tina were in brightly colored pajamas, lying on the floor side by side, reading together a cheap Italian romance called Un Cuore in Tre.

The trouble Is that Dad, who is a lieutenant in the army, was ordered away overseas about seven months and ago, immediately after he left a change came over my young stepmother. She began to go but nights with various men, dancing and dining, and, of course, drinking somewhat, and often not home until early morning hours. Since we were just two women this wasnt so important, for I manage my own breakfast and lunch at the hospital, but what seems to me important s that there is now one man with whom Betty is falling in love. He is constantly here he is a naval officer on duty near here; all the others have dropped away. Betty has been absent from home all night more than once in the last month, and she laughs and flushes when I make any comment on the affair. He Is Very Attractive. This man is married, has a wife and two daughters in some eastern state. He is about 32, and very attractive. The other day he walked to the piano and turned my fathers portrait lce down, saying Jokingly, T dont think I like this man, Betty. I was at the other end of the room, telephoning to a friend, but I heard it and saw it. Betty stood the portrait up, and It still stands, but it shows how he feels. What I want to know is whether it Is my duty to write my father of this state of affairs. It is very bard to write him at all and not mention Paul Yet I dont know what he could do about it, and it seems terrible to tell tale on Betty. Ive gone as far as to say to her that I hoped Paul wasnt dimming her memory of a much 'finer man, and for a moment she was serious then her usual laughter broke out and her only answer was, life is fun! Life isnt always fun, and It oughtn't be," this letter concludes. 'Jo-An- n, I My dear worried little say in answer, I think you have gone as far as you need go, in giving the Jo-An- flirtatious Betty a hint that she is letting the handsome officer infringe upon your fathers rights. I wouldn't write him; I think that would be a great mistake. Written words are hard and unmanageable things; to write these words to your father would be to crush the happiest and most confident belief he has. Your loyalty to him involves only your own conduct, not Bettys. Keep as friendly and unsuspicious as you can; plenty of other tongues will be ready to inform your father of what Is going on, if anything really serious is going on. Let your voice always be one of affection for Betty and trust In her. Leave Betty Isolated. would be a good thing if you It could go away for awhile, visit an aunt, combine resources with some girl friend, or take a room in the hospital itself. Nothing will straighten Betty out so fast as to feel that she is completely on her own; nothing will warn her admirer more eloquently than to feel that the decks are cleared and that he and she must either end their affair or face possibly serious consequences. Most men with nice wives far away, and baby daughters, have no permanent Intentions In regard to a love affair. But Its a good rule for us all, mothers and mothers-in-laneighbors, spies, gossips, children not to write suspicions to our servicemen. A casual criticism lightly penned in a pleasant morning-room- , with peaceful skies overhead, may gather momentum as it goes overseas, and land with the effect of a blockbuster on a lonely heart. There'll be a lot of explaining and straightenito do when your Dad ng-out comes home. Leave It to Betty.
