FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1940 casual Staughters ‘—-~y VIRGINIA HANSON === YESTERDAY: Kay is at pres- ent the only paying guest at the Officers’ Club at Fort Michigan. Her rooms are in the west wing next to Felicia Bridewell’s suite. She has no opportunity tq tell Adam about Immerman, Chapter Six Julia WATCHED Adam and Gerald Beaufort play tennis against | Colonel Pennant and Jefferson Tack. Jeff had one of those lean, bony faces, high-browed, square- | jawed—you see them often in the army, not so often among civilians, though what possible connection lies between a man’s hysiognomy and his profession don't pretend to know. I only know that every graduating class seems to have a large percentage of these old-young men whose faces change very little as the years pass. They have dignity and reserve, they seem mature beyond their years, not all as austere as Jeff Tack. Jeff was good looking; and | knew if the Pennants liked him he must be sterling; but in rm private opinion he was cold as a fish. I was wondering what Sandra would be like, whether he would thaw in her presence, when the tolonel’s new Buick sedan drew up to the curb in front of the elub. From the front seat, beside the soldier driver, emerged, with a-certain reluctance, Julia Pen- nant; she turned, slung her dark straw hat into the tonneau of the car, ran a casual hand over the moist thatch of tow hair against which her face was as brown: as an East Indian’s and strolled, with long-legged grace, across | the lawn to the courts. “Tired?” I asked as she paused beside my bench. “Hot,” said Julia simply. “Lord what a day! Why is it nece: to stay away from people to keep clean?” She stared moodily at the four | utterly engrossed men, took off the jacket ‘of her rumpled‘ brown linen suit and fanned herself with it. “Sit down,” I said, making room for her. “It’s quite cool “Mimi and Sandra are in the car. boys,” she observed dispassion- ately, and sat. “Mimi? Oh,’ of course, your stepmother, isn’t it?” “Don't let her hear you call her that,” Julia murmured, her strangely unhappy light blue eyes, half concealed by tt white lashes, watching Jeff. “I suppose she wouldnt like it. She’s quite yoting, isn’t she?" ‘Thirty-four, but doesn’t admit it.” Her eyes opened wider, s| seemed to brace herself. “Mimi’s all right,” she said. “We get along. Don’t blame her for my B-ach- ing.” The smack and whine of rack-| ets, short-breathed voices, merged with the evening quiet to create a dreamy peace. There were children in the playground on the far side of the club. Their | ba muted by distance, was! ant to hear, that’s ple: Sandra WAS a pleasant place; and T I to me, breathing the clean air, hearing the faint sigh of the lake moving against the sand, feeling} the kind touch cf the departing sun and an occasional cool breath of lake breeze, seeing a landscape | submissive, but not subservient, | to man, it seemed that lives passed here were privileged. I looked at Julia’s tormented eyes and felt, for the moment, only an impatient envy. And then her face - softened, almost a smile crossed it. “Dan’s having a swell time,” she said, affectionate eyes on h father. “Who's the young Ado! Don’t tell me that’s your un draped chaplain?” T reassured her and brought her up to date on the day’s de- velopments, but her attention was largely for the game. Even when Mimi Pennant and Sandra Fer- guson, the girl Jeff Tack going to marry, left the car and strolled over to join us, Julia calmly waved them to silence. “Shush,” she said lazily. “They | don't know we're here.” “Really, Julia!” There was good-natured im- patience in Mimi’s voice, but she wasn't the type of person you would describe as good natured And I don’t mean that she was geod ish. Wistful approaches what but they are | I'm supposed to fetch the} was troduced and Sandra and Mimi were the center of attention. I stepped back to watch, busy | reaffirming my first, surprising impression that Sandra Ferguson | was not pretty. She wasn’t even | distinctively homely like Julia, whose strange, salty ugliness kept, you looking until you grew con- fused and assessed it as beauty. Sandra’s dark eyes were a little small, her straight brown hair that she wore parted in the mid- dle and pinned up with almost Puritan severity, grew a little too low on her forehead. I could see all this, even though she was wearing a hat, for the hat was one of those affairs milliners as- sure you you are “amusing” when they perch them on top of your defenseless head. For the rest, Sandra’s:skin was clear, her face nicely shaped; and | she was slender and small boned. |She might so easily have been beautiful that it was a little puz- zling to decide why she wasn’t. And then I looked at those sur- rounding men and realized that I was trying to use arithmetic to solve a problem that contained an unknown. For if sie had no beauty she had something in- finitely more to be desired. Some- thing ‘that people have hese try: ing for years to label. : The Lake "M GOING in the lake,” Julia said abruptly. “Want to come?” I glanced around at her, saw an appeal in her eyes, and nodded. “Come in with me while I change. Have you had dinner?” “[ll pick up something later,” | she said indifferently.

But they don’t rate curtains and | draperies and rugs—they’ re sup- posed to buy their own. Mimi had done weil. There were scatter rugs on the floor of | the sitting room and a dust-col- |ored broadloom in the bedroom The tailored curtains were thick nough to insure privacy from Hthe near-by street, and side draperies of a small-patterned | green chintz saved it from the | institution look that bare painted | walls and heavy furniture give |to rooms. The bedspreads were of the same green chintz, and so were the slip covers for the’studio d the one easy chair in e ng room. Thére were ev ‘en reading lamps and cushions. The only change I had made was to move a table to the front window of the sitting room and J install on it my typewriter and a litter of manuscripts. “Wish I could move over nere, ae Julia with sudden passion, hed attempted diversion faving her, as is so often the case. | back to the sore subject she had | tried to avoid. “Can you imagire | what it will be like in that house | for the next month?” | “Park here any time you -ike,” 1 told her. “I work from break- fast until lunch, but if you dcn’t talk you won't bother me.” “Thanks.” She had paused by my typewriter, was staring moodily at the stack ot yellow paper beside it. “You'retucky that you can work anywhere. | You're lucky that you can: work.
