WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1941 YESTERDAY: David and Peter and Polly just have repaired the swimming pool at the old inn David’s aunt left him when she died. Nobody has ever been able to make the inn pay, and it is vacant now. But Polly thinks they can at least have some fun out of it. Now Margo Powers, who is glamour personified and the daughter of David's boss, is on her way. to the inn. She has decided that she wants David— Polly or no Polly. : Chapter 14 Four’s A Crowd ‘Di. you bring your suit, aren hat David wanted to OO ts I did. You don’t think I'd let you two do all the swimming, de you?” David laughed, and watched Pe- ter getting a bundle out of the car. “I hope my trunks aren’t full of moth-holes,” he said. “There were a few in them,” said Polly. “How do you know?” “Peter brought them over to te to mend.” “Well, I give up!” said David. “And 2eter acting as though he had just discovered the trunks in my. closet.” Polly was also watching Peter now. She turned to David. “How can he swim with that awful brace on?” she asked. “He can’t,” said David. “You know he zan't walk with- out it, though. Remember how he fell that day in the parlor? You told me about it, David, and —and—how’s he going to walk down to the pool after he gets his swimming trunks on?” “Til carry him.” “He won't like that. It'll make him feel so helpless.” “It’s the only way, Sweetness. Don’t worry, we'll make a sort of game out of it.” “Oh, David, you are a dear!” * said Polly. Then she called out to Peter: “Don’t forget the towels!” “No,” said Peter, “1 got ’em.” He came hurrying back to them as fast as his lameness would permit. “We can all go inside the hotel and dress, cant we?” “Yes,” said David. “Polly, you take the Inn parlor, and Peter and I'll take the dining room.” “Why not use two of the bed- rooms, Cousin David?” Peter asked, “They’re pretty dusty, I’m afraid. Don’t forget, all the cleaning we've done has been confined to the larger rooms downstairs.” The trio went on into the big empty house. In the lobby David glanced at an ornate fountain that was built in he coe of the room, Sed sure had high- falutin ideas,” he said. “Imagine putting a thing like that in the Phiddle ot the lobby.” “Why not?” said Polly. “It must look lovely when the wa- ter is turned on—especially when the colored electric lights are in use, The sound of a fountain is soothing and nice.” ll see how it works one of these days,” said David. “I'll have to do some work on the fountain’s piping before it'll be working order. But come on, we've got a date to go swim- ming. Had you two forgotten?” h, gee, not by a heck of a lot!" said Peter. He went hobbing off to the dining room. ieee turned to Polly. “Walk ‘to my parlor, said the you know what? he invited. “We'll meet ;you down at the pool.” He went on into the dining FOO where Peter was already unfastening the iron brace. He stood for a few moments looking over the double row of tables, and the heaped-up chairs. There ‘wasn't, he thought, anything quite 60 depressing as a deserted hotel.

You're get- ting to be a better walker every day.” Peter, now dressed only in his swimming trunks, looked down at his leg. “But—but—how’'ll I stand up in the pool?” he asked. “The water will hold you up,” said David. “All you've got to do is stand on that fine left leg of} yours, and learn the breast stroke—- De n't worry about tt boy.

Peter laughed gaily. now, Cousin David, and dive,” she said. “I want to see you dive.” “Okay,” said David, “but you stay away from the deep water.” He swung himself up to the pool’s edge, and stood poised there. “I'll fix a diving board one of these days,” he said. Then, he sprang into the air, and did a perfect swan dive, hitting the water with scarcely a splash. “How was I?” he called out to Peter, when te came to the surface. “Gee, you were swell?” said Peter. “You looked just like Weis- muller.” “Exactly!” wasn’t Polly's, David looked up. Margo Pow- ers was standing close by watch- ing. them. “Hello, Margo!” he called. z “Hello, yourself!” said Margo. “I’m sorry I didn’t bring along my swimming things. David again swung himself out of the water. “Hello, Peter—Hello, Margo said, but her ey on David. He was all that she had imag- ined he would be in swimming trunks. Straight, brown legs: broad shoulders; golden - brown torso. And again she thought of him on Long Island's beaches, gay and happy at resorts she had visited. What a shame for such a perfect specimen of young man- hood to be wasted on an isolated swimming pool. “Do you swim?” Peter asked— eyeing Margo’s slacks and stock- ingless feet. “Of course!” Margo laughed. “Gee!” said Peter. Polly laughed and said: probably thinks you're ornamental to get wet!” “Do you know what I think Pll do?” Margo said suddenly. “1 think Pll race right back to town and get my bathing suit!” “But it’s getting pretty late,” said David. “Maybe you'd better wait until another time.” “But, ‘David, I do so want to swim!” said a voice that Polly!” es were preter far tco Party’s End DOLLY shook out her hair. “I've got to get back to town now,” she said. “You can drive me in if you don’t mind. Then you three can have a swim in the sunset.” “Oh, that will be fun!” said Margo. “You mean you're going to leave us now, Polly?” Peter asked. “Yes, Peter, honey. get Aunt Susan’s supper, know.” “Then I'll go too,” said Petey, Margo looked at Davi looks,” she said, “as though we're to swim alone.” “I think we'd better all drive back to town,” David said. “We can make a date for a swim some other time.” “Very well,’ ”" said Margo, dis- appointed. “I do nope, 1 haven't broken up your party.” if course you haven't,” Davia | assured. “We weren't going to stay late anyway.” “Well, go on with your swim- ming and diving,” Margo urged. “T'll have a smoke and watch you.” Polly turned, did a neat dive, and swam out. David followed her. ‘Tll run in and dress now,” Polly said. “You and Peter have another lesson, It takes me ionger to dress than it does you two.” She ran across the grounds, through the lengthening after- noon shadows, and into the Inn. , Margo watched her— Cute little figure, she thought.

Following the Manchukuo incident, ,the Japan- set up quasi-indepenhdent state and a few years later, as a result of a clash of soldiers near Peking, began the present war against China. ‘Ultimately, Jap- anese ambition embraces the ac- quisition of extensive territory in the South Pacific, including French Indo-China, The Nether- lands East Indies and, possibly, | Singapore and the Philippines. ese a While neither the United States nor Great Britain has undertak- en to stop Japanese expansion by force, the trend of events in the past few years has brought about an increasingly grave situation. Tokyo statesmen recognize that the opposition of the Anglo-Sax- on nations tands between them and the ful- fillment of their colonial dream. Consequently, Japan adhered to the which would seem to be aimed at the United States and Russia. It provided that if any nation not now engaged in the wars in; Europe and Asia entered the con- flict, the signatory powers would come to the aid of each other. The threat against the United States arose from our activity in enging aid to Great Britain. We were given notice, by the Pact, that if we entered war on the side of Great Britain, Japan vould go to the aid of Germany and Italy. Conversely, if we got into a war with Japan, as a result f her policies in the Far East, Germany and Italy were theoret- cally supposed to go te the aid Japan but actually so long as Great Britain resisted, the Axis powers would be unable to help Jap Russia was concern: operated to threaten with war on two t that Russia in a strueple Japan.
