One treaty, for example, said: ‘Repatriation ought not to be enforced; it is left to the free choice of the prisoners.” There were two ideas involved: (1) that as soon as a war was over, all prisoners who wanted to return home should be returned at once; but (2) if they were afraid to return, they shouldn’t be I’VE--DOZENS OF QUESTIONS.

This was contrary to previous understandings among nations about war prisoners—that once the war was over they should be re- turned home at once, if they want- ed to go. And there had been several in- ternational agreements that pris- oners who wanted to return home after a war should be sent home at once. For example, there was such an agreement made at Gene- 1929. va in 1929. By Fred Lasswell| So in 1949 there was another meeting at Geneva, to revise the 1929 agreement..made there.

The United States argues this way: Refusing to return prisoners who are afraid to return does not violate Article 118 because, for one thing, it doesn’t say prisoners who don’t want to return have to be returned. | Ls SO THAT'S MAGGIE'S IDEA WAS ONLY A BAKER'S OF A*QUIET” EVENING 4 wal ( AT HOME ?!--T wish [5 SHE'D KEE!

Chapter 17 T seemed to Anthea that her mother was always out in the evenings, nowadays. It was al- most as though she could not bear her home—or was it that, now Anthea went out so much with Joe, she could not bear to be left with her husband? Anthea glanced at her mother uncom- fortably, wishing these thoughts did not come into her mind. She | nervous fingers searching in a trinket box for a brooch for her lapel. There were several bits of jewelry, and Marion searched through them hurriedly. with- drawing her hand with a little exclamation as a .brooch pin caught her finger. The sharp movement upset the box, and sent the trinkets across the pol- ished surface of the dressing ta- ble. Among them was half of a Tose-quartz heart, decorated with a few gilded letters. Without thinking, Anthea exclaimed, “How extraordinary!” “What?” “That heart—or half-heart. The other day when I was tidying Mr. Carlotti’s desk, I found one just like it. It had the end of a date and the tail-end letters of some words.” She put out her hand to ae up the little broken trinket, an eee ach was pee her. he glanced at it apparently in- differently, and said, “It’s very likely. When I was a girl there were a lot of them about. They’re Italian. It was considered the thing for sweethearts to break one in half, and each to keep one half. It's worthless.” She tossed untarily, “Did you get it in Italy? I didn’t know you had ecg *“O) ”’ Marian said impa- tiently, “I did the usual tour with my parents, all the show- ema They were artistic, you ow.” She gave the at a slightly sarcastic twist. She pulled on her gloves, bade Anthea a brief goodbye. “I'll be back about eleven. Tell your father not to wait up, and see he gets his meal.” “All right.” ARIAN GRAINGER walked sharply along the road to meet Mrs. Prentis. She did not want to go, and the very thought of spending the evening watching a possibly silly film, with this certainly foolish woman, appalled her. But she could not stay in. She had to get away. From the house, from Bianca, from her husband. But most of all from Anthea . . . Anthea in love and a-dream, with all the depth and beauty and trustfulness of unsus- pecting youth. What had she said to Anthea? “The usual tour... all the show-places . .. very dull ... excessively hot...” She could still say those things, as though she believed in them. The reality ory is beginning to figet. I can't keep up the pretense in front of him! I can’t stand being with him! His very presence drives me to exasperation. Take care, take care! That way is hysteria and breakdown. I've got to stick it out. I've got to appear normal. They will go. One day soon they will go, and everything will be the same again. Not quite—noth- ing can be the same. I shall never be able to pretend that I didn't care again, not to myself! “Why, Mrs. Grainger,” said Mrs. Prentis, catching up, a little out of breath, “you walked right past the house. I saw you from the window, and ran after you.” Marian started and stared, grabbed after’ sanity. “T'm so sorry—I was dream- ing,” she apologized. “I'm a little worried, you know, about this job of Anthea’s. Come along, or we shall be late, and I’m really dying to see this picture.” Anthea rang the bell next door just after seven-thirty, and Joe opened the door to her himself. e said, “Well?” He smiled, and said, “Very well, thank you. Why?” “But what about Pierette?” she of that year in Italy when she was nineteen came back to her. The hills above Florence when the apricots were in bloom in the garden of the villa, and the stars so big and beautiful you felt you could pick them out of the sky, and the whole of life had been a mad, misty delirium of delight and desire, and exciting fear. She walked on, not seeing where she was going, not think- the heart back, scooped the other Pieces of jewelry on top of it into the box, snapped it shut and pushed it back into her drawer. Anthea wanted to-ask about it— ask whether a youthful sweet- heart had given it to her, and what the words were engraved upon it. But Marian’s face, stern and forbidding, did not invite questions. She said, invol- European Car By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK (#—The continental | look has been turning into Amer- ican traffic lanes every time the light changed in recent years.
