And there before them was the rambling old Vaughan farm- house, set in a frame of trees and shrubbery, with the shimmering water of the pond back of it. form- a vey background. Joe thought that he had never before seen such a tranquil picture. It re- minded him of the calendar the ‘Linville Coal and Ice Company ‘had given his mother on that long-ago winter when she had been taken from him. And thoughts of the calendar and the unforgettable winter made him think of what his mother had said about him and Kathleen. i “She’s a mighty sweet girl, Joe, boy,” were his mother’s words. “And it would make me very happy to know you and she matter, Joe, alrea She and Ruby went on to the old honeysuckle arbor—a place where the bathers were to gather. Daisy and Joe joined them there, and the quartette went on down to the pond.

Forget youth and concen- trate on middle-age!” Mrs, Buxton was playing host- ess—a role she loved—on the orch of the old boathouse. She adn’t donned a bathing suit, but wore something fluffy and femi- nine. “Isn’t it fun?” she cried, greet- ing everyone, “I just adore a party.” Joe said: “I'll race you girls to the diving raft!” “Then let’s go!” said Kathleen.

Only the Reggiane 2001, a fighter, is regarded as good. The Italians are believed to have not more than a hundred or two of these in service.

Kathleen ran out to greet them, looking flushed but happy. “Til Be Waiting” “H URRY, you two,” she said. “Everyone's ready for a swim.” She walked to the house, holding on to Dajsy’s arm and Joe's. “You know where your room is, Joe,” she said, “The same one you always use when you stay out here. I'll show Daisy where hers is, I’ve got to ask you to share one with Ruby. I hope you don’t mind, Daisy,” . '. “Of course not,” Daisy lied. She ' hated sharing a room with an- other actress—especially a “lead- lady”—but she’d have to e the best of it. “Shall I get ito my swim things right away?” “Yes,” said Kathleen. “I'll be waiting for you and Joe down- stairs.” She ran downstairs and out through the rear hall. From the kitchen she went out across the rear porch. She saw Ruby out near the barbecue pit, watching Uncle Frank at work. Ruby wore @ clinging beachrobe over her bathing suit, and appeared to be intensely interested in what Uncle Frank was saying to her. . Kathleen went down to join them. Se and Joe plunged into the water. Daisy and Ruby followed them, They_ swam easily—all of them—but Joe beat them to the raft. Fred and Paul greéted him there. Then the three men reached down and pulled the three girls up beside them. “Good lord, you’re lovely!” said Paul to Kathleen—but very soft- ly, for Kathleen’s ears only. “So are you,” said Kathleen. “In a masculine sort of way, of | course—like the Greeks who took such good care of their bodies.” | Ruby stretched her arms high | above her head, and looked up at the sky. : “As long as I live,” she said, “T shall remember all this!” She turned to Kathleen. “And my | heart shall always be filled with | pareve to you and your uncle | or planning such a lovely treat.” “When I’m enjoying myself like this,” said Fred, “I could al- | most wish that there never had/ been a play nor an actor.” “Nor a director?” Paul asked. “Nor a director,” said Fred. “Well, suppose we forget about | such things,” said Daisy, “and be | children again.

In the naval department, Italy does have men and equipment to; put up an effective fight without} great German aid. Unofficial figures set the pres- ent Italian fleet at four battle- ships, 20 cruisers including six | carrying eight-inch guns or heavier, 60 destroyers and be- tween 60 and one hundred sub- marines. These forces must protect a 2,000 miles, and face the almost equally imperative necessity of holding Sicily with its 600 mile coast. Nature has provided defenses along much of the Italian and Sicilian coasts where mountains rise sheer and menacing almost from the water’s edge and_har- bors are narrow, clefts, But there still are enough hard, flat beaches and ‘wide harbors for a determined invader to gain footholds. From one foreign diplomatic source with good contacts inside the Axis, comes’ the report that the Germans are using thousands of workers to build a network of defense positions across the Italian peninsula from the naval base of Spezia on the Mediterranean, through Bologna to Ravenna on the Adriatic, about 150 miles. This would indicate the German high command is prepared to abandon southern Italy quickly under pressure. Mediterranean Blockade When it is suggested that Ger- | many’s bitter resistance in Tunisia doesn’t indicate any readiness to withdraw into Hitler’s European fortress, this source argues the Tunisian campaign is being fought primarily. to hold the Mediteranean blockade lines as long as possible and that when Tunisia ‘is lost the blockade is broken even though Sicily remains in Axis hands. Even those who believe the Ger- mans are prepared to fall back to the Bologna line across Italy think a series of delaying actions will be fought on Siciliy, along the Italian coasts and .on Sar- dinia and Corsica.
