FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1940 —_ Casual Staughters =————By VIRGINIA HANSON YESTERDAY: At the Post the- ater Adam and Kay meet the chaplain, who has just been re- leased from the hospital. Both realize that his amusing plight has ruined his career. Chapter 12 On The Beack’ SATURDAY. morning we could not ride for same reason dé- scribed to me simply as “inspec- tion.” I did not question it too closely. I put in the extra time at my typewriter, expecting Julia and half dreading a repetition of Friday's painful encounter. But she did not arrive until eleven o'clock, and then she did not come in, just sat in the car out- side my window and honked. I dropped what I was doing and went out to her, thankful enough for a respite. “Come for a drive,” she begged, so I got in beside her. The car was a Chrysler con- vertible coupé. She drove it wide open and burning the wind. My hair would be in a thousand snarls, but I did not protest, knowing that she was running away from the thought of Jeff. “This is Mimi's car,” she said presently. “Dan gave. it to- he when we first came here. L can usually have it in the daytime. Mimi’s moody. Dan goes out;two or three nights a week‘to gome giag See and _ aeons a and drives for hours + ergelf.” “Do you think she’s happy?” I ventured. “Who is?” She uttered a mirthless laugh. “Which reminds me, we're rev- eling tonight — beach party. You're invited. Hope it proves better than last night’s fray, which was a bore. Oh, and wait| till you see what we've got! It just happened in to See its friend Sandra, and it’s too cute for| words... .” | I saw what she meant that night. It was a man. A dark,| thickset man with a little mus- tache and a stagey sort of good looks. He bowed over my hand and murmured “Chawmed.” Then he threw back his bath- robe to display his trunk-clad form and swelled a hairy chest. We were all visibly impressed. | Julia clasped her hands and gazed | at him with starry eyes. Adam let i his jaw sag in unpleasant resem- | blance to an idiot child. Gerald Beaufort inhaled until his face} was scarlet and seemed about to, Ee his shoulders together in the ack, i “The word is virile.” said Fe- licia Bridewell irrepressibly in my left ear. Only Sandra, Jeff and the chap- | lain seemed unamused. Jeff, in| fact, glowered; or at_ least I) thought so at the time. He was so| somber normally that it was dif- ficult to tell when he was actual! displeased. He peeled off j Sweat shirt, rolled it into a tight | ball, tossed it on the sand and} marched deliberately into the} lake. I should not have been sur- | prised to see him wade ou: until his head was immersed. but he jackknifed suddenly and reap- peared swimming with vicious strokes that seemed to reach for| and clutch the far horizon. I thought for a moment that Julia was going to follow him but with an effort that was obvious to me, at least, she turned her back to the take and began rearranging the baskets and bottles which we} | had unloaded from the cars. “Go on and swim,” she said to all offers of assistance. “We won't eat for a long time. yet, and I'd advise everyone to swim before| they start eating. We don’t want os casualties... .” : e had penetrated deep into the: reservation for ‘this: party, Lilee the mossy old joke.“ turned in at the road mar OFFICIAL VEHICLES i, peped the sign that rei RS NOT ALLOWED B!

The sign, he said, had something to do with summer maneuvers, which were concluded; but they also pre- served the reservation from cas- peas and resultant brush ~ A hundred feet from the road was the lake, rimmed by a clean white beach as far as you could see in either direction, interrupt- ed only, in the immediate fore- ground, by the wreck of an old coal barge that had been cast up to the water's edge by one of the storms that the Great es.
