Id made a success of living, Id made a success of the place, Id made a place for myself here, a place for my children. And then he made me feel myself a creature of no account Just a womqn that a man had tired of. ever. And No, I cant love him I cant hate him either. I dont know what my feeling is just an awful patience, I think. Its on me like a weight. I couldnt breathe, all that night I couldnt sleep. I thought about you, Dave. Tm here, Dooley," he said.

And if Jill went home and blabbed well, that was He was a man now, O.K., too. and his affairs were his own, and he still flattered himself that he could always wind his mother around his little finger. Ric sank lower into the cushions and bolstered his by remembering that it would be a long time before he had to go home again, and that when the war was over hed be some kind ' of hero, no matter what happened to him, and Dooley would kill the fatted calf anyway a turkey or something. He was not pleased when Captain Mackey took the chair next to him, pulled out a cigarette, and said equally, "Trouble you for a match, soldier? Ric stood up, a bored scowl on his face, and snapped his lighter. Yes, sir. Here, sir. "Thanks. Sit down, drawled the captain, dragging on the cigarette. "Whats your outfit? "Four hundred and eleventh, sir. '' Richard McFarlane Jr. stopped window, briefly before a plate-glas- s set his cap at a jauntier angle, and hitched his belt straight, walked into the hotel. The lobby was full of soldiers, the blue and silver wings of the air corps rode almost every shoulder, officers were arguing with the clerk about reservations, and a sullen sergeant with overhanging brows and a lot of dangling bars on a medal, leaned against a pillar and flicked a contemptuous eye over mere enlisted men. Ric ignored him loftily and waited in line for the house telephone. ' Three other soldiers were ahead of him, all calling girls, and Ric grew irritable and shrugged his shoulders as he inched along the line. A student of character would have appraised him as a spoiled only son, itching under discipline but improved by it, but Ric saw himself as a man of the world, and when at last he had possession of the phone, his voice was crisp and demanding. "Arent you dressed yet? I thought you were going to meet me in the lobby? The cooing voice of the woman he was mad about came back, soothingly. "But, Ricky, darling, youre too earlyl You said six. Im not dressed yet. Ric laughed indulgently. "Havent ' you got your face on yet? "I havent got anything on! Im a bathing beauty. Go away, Ricky, Ill hurry as fast as I can. "Going to wear that yellow thing I like? Darling its a rag! Anyway, its at the cleaners. "Hurry up then, Sandra.

Then as he turned away he jogged the elbow of a tall officer who was waiting for his mail. "Sorry, sir," he said, curtly. Old Cyanide! Ric gave him a straight look and wondered why this Captain Mackey was studying him so oddly. He felt his necktie and his buttons anxiously, wheeled on his heel. ' d. Pleasant Thoughts Of Sandra Ric went back to a corner and slumped on a sofa. Sandra was always late, but when she did come down every bright curl would be in place and shining, her finger tips would be tinted just the right shade for her skin, her eyes would sparkle and her dress and hat be chosen with the clever perfection that pleaded Rlcs critical and fastidious taste.

He stood stiffly, itching to be gone, but the cool eyes of the older man held him. "How old. are you, McFarlane? "Twenty-sevesir. "Like. the army? "Naturally, sir. I enlisted. "Father living? The catechism went on. "No, sir, I lost my father In the last war. That so? Why dont you sit down? Waiting for somebody? "Yes, sir."

"Why, yes, sir, his name was Richard. I was named after him. "Know his regiment? persisted Old Cyanide. "Yes, sir. It was the 105th, mach- sir. "I fought with the ine-gun, 105th. Quite a coincidence, meeting you here." "Yes, sir, its very interesting. We never knew what happened to He was killed, of my father. course. A lot of records were lost in that war. "I lost track of him, too, went on Captain Mackey. "Though we were pretty close at one time. Thanks for the light, McFarlane. "Youre very welcome, sir. And now if the captain will excuse me "Good night, soldier." "Good night, sir. Glad to have met you. Sandra was waiting by the elevator when Ric hurried across the lobby. She looked displeased. "What did he want? she demanded. Ric looked a trifle surprised. Oh, just one of the old boys. He said he knew my father in France. Theyre always reminiscing, fighting that war over again." Ric took her arm, pressed it a little. "Where do you, want to eat, sweet? "Not here." Sandra Calverts brows were still tensed.' "Lets go to some quiet place where theres no music and no dancing. "How about that little place across the street? Theyve got booths in that back room, Ric suggested. "All I want is to be with Sandra had had a tough time, poor kid. But the little bitterness it had put into her spirit had added a tang, a rest to her personality. He had had a few anxious days after Jills visit. Sandra had said, "Your sister doesnt like me. Ricky. Shes a naive little thing, isnt she? Rlc blamed Spang Gordon for that. Spang had been an all right guy and a good friend before he got that commission, but lately he had been too stuffed-shirirritating with his occasional his moral lectures. Spang was gone now, and Ric had evaded telling you. him good-by- . That a farewell would In the amethyst dimness of a have been somewhat complicated shaded light, Sandra slid into a corby the fact that he owed Spang ner of the seat, and money, Ric put out of his mind. with a sigh leaned her yellow head, The score was even, if Spang had turbaned with a frail bit of silver , t, high-backe- d gauze, against the cushions. "Whats the matter, Sandra? Ric asked anxiously. She shook her head, smiling wanly. "I'm just low in my mind, Ricky. Seeing that man did it, I guess. Old Cyanide? Captain Mackey, I mean? He smiled at me. Thats something for the book. I never saw him wear a human expression before. "It brought so many things back, she said. "You know, he was a friend of Wins, in Hawaii. You knew him over there? "We knew all the officers, naturally. Mackey was a major then. Theyre both part of all that Im trying to forget." "I know you had a rotten time, Sandra." Ric laid his hand over hers. "But its all behind you. This is tonight, and this is us Sandra and Ricky. Its Sandra and Ricky from now on, so forget that guy and all that stuff you left behind in the islands. Her fingers stirred like cold, timid little birds under his warm palm. She flicked long lashes, misted a little, and let a liquid look flow over him. "Youre so sweet, Ricky. Its just that seeing Mackey again made me feel old! Old and bitter. And I want to be young for you, Ricky. I am young. Its just that life reached out and snatched me up so early. I was too young and silly to know what I was doing. Now Im all battered and tarnished by life, and I want to be lovely and brand-neShe was alfor you. most tearfuL Ric looked worried. "Sandra, Ive told you often enough that youre the loveliest girls, thing alive! As for brand-netheyre a dime a dozen in this town, any town.

As different from those gushy things as a daiquiri is different from a strawberry soda! Stop moping! Lets have fun. She bit her lip, "Ricky, I cant! and a large round tear rolled over her eyelids. I cant get rid of tjiis horrid feeling. I feel as though something ghastly had laid a hand on my shoulder, something I cant shake off. Something that wanted to separate you and me. "Fat chancel Ric moved closer, put his arm around her. "Snap out of it That cant possibly happen. Now, decide what you want to eat. Im starved. I never saw you get hysterical before. I dont think its hysteriji, it hurts too much. Deep down. Like a premonition. Dont ever leave me, Ricky. I cant live without you! "I may have to leave, you know. Im in the army, Ric reminded her. "But youll stay in my heart? You wont go away and forget me? Her voice was a fluty sob. "Silly girl! How about a lot of hot coffee? Get hold of yourself, Sandra. I dont know you when youre like this. She shook the tears from her eyes, smiled faintly, and got out a mirror to repair her make-u"Im so sorry, Ricky. I dont know when Ive let myself go this way, before. It was thinking about Win; I guess. He hurt me so much it does hurt to be cheated, to believe in some one and then find youve been a trusting fool. "Forget that heel, will you? Rlc spoke more sharply than he intended, and sparks glinted for an instant in Sandras eyes. Then his arm tightened around her, and he gave her a little shake. "Im jealous, sweet. Didnt I tell you? When I think of that fellow making you cry, breaking your heart, I see green and it makes me nasty. Lets drop the whole thing and enjoy this Saturday night. We havent got a lot more of them, maybe. . p. JCj Crlla WHEN you can convert old coats into something fashionable and exceedingly wearable, its like finding a bargain that you didnt expect. Yet, there are very few woolens that cannot be made fashionwise and practicaL Take an outmoded full length spring coat which now looks shabby and extremely unwearable. This can and made into be completely re-cone of the new coats with a full, rippling back, and full push-u- p sleeves, if you desire. Yes, even the lining, if it will still give wear, can be used for the new coat. When you are making something new out of something old, always select a pattern that is simple. You will have to make the old fabric do, and there is usually not enough to plan on for lots of extra detail. However, it is a matter of practical experiment that a full length coat, even though it has rather narrow shoulders and sleeves, can be made into a new shortie coat With fashion features such as the full back and new, wide sleeves. But how is this done, you ask? Well, by clever piecing, of course. You may use a tweed coat, if you wish, but if you are still somewhat of an amateur in this business of sewing, Id suggest working with a solid color that is easier to match in the intricate job of cutting and fitting together properly. Preparation of Material vert? "That would be a nightmare. Id wake up screaming. And then Id have to take two aspirins and bicarbonate of soda. They both laughed at that, and settled down to ordering their dinner. But Ric did not shake off his unease entirely. It followed him to the little hotel room, and though it was very late when he left Sandra, he could not sleep. She worried and puzzled him. She was so smooth at times, so assured, and yet underneath so young and sweet and so darned helpless! Shed had to learn that cool arrogance, of course. A beautiful woman alone in the world, quivering like a drum under the restless feet of fighting men.

If you have a light blue coat that has faded in spots, dye the whole thing a navy, which will cover faded portions. A yellow coat which looks rather soggy can be dyed with blue to give you one of the popular new greens. Brown dyed with red gives a lovely reddish brown, while an orange dyed with purple gives a nice rust shade.

If you want pleats in your next dress, you must look for a fabric that has a certain crispness or wiriness, or you will constantly have to press in your pleats. If you can crease the fabric and have the mark remain readily, you can be sure the material wili pleat When you are making a woolen dress, always select a light weight wool. Heavier woolens are made only for suits or coats, and are somewhat difficult to work with. Recut and sew it into a fashionable one. Hang for a few minutes to permit a thorough drying of the material. If the wool has worn badly, plan to use the wrong side of the material as your right side: it will look more fresh and new. Finish Coat With Lining, Shoulder Pads There are so many types of shoulder pads now available that it probably will not be necessary for you to make your own. However, you will want to select them with care. If soft shoulder line, your coat has you will not want too large pads! Choose something that will make the coat look truly casual. . If youve decided on ruffles galore, choose a fabric that has some crispness like organdie marquisette, etc. Youll also do wisely choosing a fabric that has a permanent finish. For dresses with straight clas-si- c lines, choose a material that has some body, and one that will hang straight easily without too much tugging. Firmness of fab-ri- c is very important here.
