In the same speech he spoke of the emergency necessity of working over-time and this has caused spectilation as to whether he meant to im- ply that the 40-hour week in defense in- dustriés should be abrogated at this time. Everyone knows that most business executives work more than 40 hours a week either at their homes or offices. The week- ly hours were shortened and wage standards were raised for the definite purpose of giv- ing employment to more workers and it was calcuiated that by cutting an average of about eight hours out of the working week without reducing the pay received for those forty-eight hours that there would be room n the United States for one eighth more workers than under the old system.

Polly and Da- vid had set the day for their marriage, because David was at last rid of the last of his depend- ent relatives. and Polly's Aunt Susan was not realiy much of a problem But Dayid went home the day he proposed. and sitting ‘on his front step was little Peter Wiley. his 9-year old cousin from Pennsylvania. And now Polly feels she and David had better postpone the wedding once more.

They have notions just like the grown- ups.” “All nght, we'l@ wait a little | longer. Rut not much longer.” said | David. And now the second week had begun. “Miss Polly likes you a lot, Peter.” David was saying to Peter. who had come down to have a look at the lumber plant. “She thinks you're a pretty swell boy.” “Does she?" said Peter scme- what vaguely. He stood sniffing the fascinating fragrance of fresh- ly-sawn boards. “Gee. what a lot of lumber you-got piled up down here!” “You like her, don’t David went on persistently. “Oh, sure,“'she’s all right—as girls go,” said, Peter. David gave up. He decided not to go into the matter any further for the time being. “Come on,” he said “I'll show you the rest of the place. We haven't much time. My lunch hour is nearly up.” Then, as they stood eyeing a huge pile of saw- dust, he said: “Did you fix vour- self a good meal, Peter’ “Sure, Cousin Davi Peter. “I ate those vegetables you told me to warm up. And I cooked you?” in ege” “You should have cooked two.” “No, one was enough. I filled up on vegetables.

She looked | around her. and laughed. “Imag- | ine my great big. thoroughly mas- culine father eating in such aj feminine atmosphere.” “It’s the food | like,” said Mr Powers. “And it always does me} good to exchange a few words] with Polly.

All I could do was just work and wait. You're going to stay with me now, aren’t you?” “Of course, Dad!” said Margo. “For the summer—anyway.” “Good!” her father said. “I won't look beyond that. Mean- while, be nice to Polly and David. They've had a pretty hard time of it during the years you were see- ing the world. I'm fond of them fet and I want you to like them als “All right, Father, Pll do my best.” Margo watched the wait- ress place their soup before them, and thought of David. How mar- velous he had looked yesterday when she saw him standing on top of a pile of lumber—a silhou- ette against the sky! The wind playing with his hair, while he took some snapshots of the lum- ber yard “Dad,” she said. “Yes, Margo?” said her father “You want me to marry some day, don’t you?” “Of course!” said Mr. Powers But what brough: that on?” “Oh. I don’t know—1 was just thinking” Margo tasted her soup. “There doesn’t seem to be much husband material hereabouts. I’m always being introduced to an old maid.” “Don't let that bother you,” said Mr. Powers. “A girl like you will never end up an old maid. Like the eae 4 “Yes, I do. It’s delicious.” Margo glanced over to where Polly was counting change. “Funny, Polly never married, especially when you think she’s such a beauty.” “She'll: marry, all right,” Mr. Powers said. “And soon. Now that I've got David with me, he'll be able to make some money. He and Polly have had a hard time trying to live their own lives. I'm going to help them all I can.” There was a pucker between Margo’s fine brows as she turned her attention to her lunch. Polly and David. Getting married. That meant that David Wiley would }soon become just another small- town husband. He would never see the things she had seen, visit the places. she had visited She again thought of him on a polo pony, dashing across a great expanse of green. Again she visu- alized him on a surf-board, being driven shoreward by a great gray-blue roller topped with a fringe of foam. What a man to show off. she thought. Imagine taking David with her to all the gay and colorful places she want- ed to visit again. Discouraged . your lunch,” her father said. “That chicken will melt mm your mouth.” Margo smiled “It's all that you said it was, Dad,” she told him “But i think it would be more fun lunching at home. You can very easily manage it.” “Of course.” said Mr. Powers. “1 was only showing you off today— that's all.” He nodded toward Pol- ly. “Why not ask Polly and David up some evening soon? You could play bridge, and start really get- ting acquainted.” “All right. Dad,” Margo said, but without a great deal of en- thusiasm. “If you'd like.” But she decided not to say wae thing to Polly just then. She wanted to see David alone once or twice before extending any invi- | tations to him and Polly to come up to the big house on the hill. “Thanks a lot for the nice lunch,” she said to Polly as she was leaving. “Don't thank me,” laughed Pol- ly. “Thank Martha, the cook.” She watched the lumberman and his daughter go out and get into their car. Then she went | Dack to checking the tunch slips. And as shé worked she did a lot of thinking. She found herself remembering her mother, and a lot of plans they had made —a lot of things her mother had said to her. “You'll go far, Polly, with your background. The Jenkinses are jamong the first people to settle in this part of the country.” Her mother had also spoken with pride of her own family, the Marshes. The Marshes had alsc been first settlers. “With your background.” Polly shrugged. A lot of good it had done her, that background. Look at her—work- ing as a cashier in a tearoom. And look at David. He had background, too. Lots of it. The Wileys had always been well- known in the state; David said they could trace their American ancestry back to 1635, one hun- dred and forty years before the Declaration of Independence was signed. And a lot of good that did David. He was right—a little money would help. Then she got to thinking about Mr. Powers. His family had come m the wrong side of the rail- road tracks. “Just nobodies. that Powers family,” she had heard folks say. And yet, Polly thought, just look at them now. Mr. Pow- ers had the finest home in town, t of the money. he Jenkinses and the Wileys. poor as church mice, and the Powers family, father and daugh- ter, fairly rolling in wealth. It just didn't make sense. The door of the tearoom opened. Polly looked up. Peter Wiley came limping in. “Hello, Peter!” she greeted. “Hello,” Peter responded, none too cordially. “I got a message for you from Cousin David.” To be continued ry desirous of so do- Hf these to its own busi- — KiLY WEST IN | DAYS GONE BY.
