TO5 jOTOWAi; PlAfrSMOTJTH,' HEBBASti PAGE rOUE MONDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1943 je.f t?T - I Weep ing Water Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brockman have bought the home of Mrs. Vesta Baker, on the south side of town. Mrs. Baker has taken an apartment at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Taylor. This is a nice piece of property, and will make a fine home for the Brockman family, consisting of the fouryear-old daugh ter, and the young baby son.

Emma, a devotee of fine trochcting. Toni Fitts decides to caU upon Candace and sign her up for volun teer woric The old lady shook her head. She had a good deal of very white hair massed under her brown hat. Though both hat and the black coat she wore were perfectly neat, the one was too large and the other too long to be mistaken for the season's models. "They're nice, quiet folks," Mrs. Peppercorn vol unteered. "It's hard to tell when they're in or when they're out." Under her arm a bundle. of silky white stirred and the bright, mis'-, chievous eyes of "Doggie," her poo dle, leered at the Sieient Toni. - "Well, I hope Mrs. Thane is home I tried to phone, but they have no telephone." Toni had been hon estly startled by her discovery ear lier that evening. "I do wish you'd come down to the workrooms, Mts. Peppercorn, and see what wonder ful things are being turned out. You couldn't resist, sewing for us, I'm sure." The old lady absently stroked the dog's curly head. "I'm not resist ing, my dear." "Well" Toni tentatively raised a rather bony knee. "I must run along. I left my husband tending the phone and it's never long be fore a message follows me, no mat ter where I go. Good night, Mrs. Peppercorn Doggie's feeling fine, I see." She climbed the stairs corrac'tly and arrived, very soldwflyHand erect, at the door of 3-A. She smiled and extended her hand cor dially as Andrew Thane opened the door. "Mr. Thane, of course. I'm Mrs. Bertram Fitts your neighbor in 2-B. I'd love to come in a few minutes and see your wife, if she is at home." She was at home, the cfark young man was assuring her, holding tha door hospitably wide. A step into the square hall, then another into the large, pleasant living room and a tiny figure turned from the fire and crossed the rug to greet her guest "My wife, Mrs. Fitts." Young Thane spoke as if he were present ing the Fairy Queen. "You sew?" Toni Fitts glanced curiously about the room. She had a book that showed how to cut and make slip covers, Can dace said. "I haven't a machine and that handicaps me to some ex tent. I get the covers cut out and basted, then I fit them and make alterations if necessary and then I take them to a friend's house where there is a machine. The basting is tricky, but I'm learning it." Toni listened half-absently. It wasn't the kind of room that ap pealed to her, she decided, but her tastes were modernistic. "We love the apartment," Can dace Thane said, smiling above the flowered cretonne that filled her lap. Candace said earnestly, "I'm making slip covers for the faded upholstery we had it cleaned. We . painted the bookshelves and Andy is going to do a lot more as he has time. He's really a genius with paint brushes." The rug, she pointed out, was a Brussels carpet square, sprinkled thickly with tiny wreaths of pink and blue roses. "It was Andy's grandmother's carpet. We found it in his attic. I wish we had a pair of those china dogs with curly heads, to sit on either side of the fireplace." "Yes, I've seen them." Toni straightened. "Such things are all very pleasant under normal condi- . tions and in a normal world. I may as well tell you, Mrs. Thane, that I'm hoping to enlist you in a cause that's taking my time and atten tion to the exclusion of everything else. I refer to the struggle being waged for democracy." Toni Fitts took a gulp from her glass, set it down with such involuntary empha sis that it threatened to crack the crystal coaster. 1 "We need clerical help at the workroom where we're packing boxes for Britain," she went on. "We reed donations, but helpers also. Just two evenings a week of your time. Mrs. Thane, will give us a tremendous lift. And how about 1 parading? I'm to lead the women who are grouping for national de fense. In time we'll have uniforms, but we don't want to spend thirty dollars on a uniform, until we know . what our duties will be." Quiet people baffled Toni Fitts, who believed it everyone's duty to keep conversation flowing as freely as salt. "Surely you can come to us for one evening a week, Mrs. Thane?" Toni suggested. She was sorry. Candace Thane said clearly. "We need our eve- wsmm while playing recently. Last week it became infected and had to" be lafic ed. His mother Mrs. A. O. Specht reports that he is rapidly improving, which is good news. - Visitors at the J. Sterling Shrauger home, last Friday, were Maj. A. C. Petersen, our former Dr. Petersen, dentist and his wife and son, Nor man. They were enroute to Tylor, Minn., to visit relatives so remained here only until Saturday' morning. Major Peterson is now located at Camp Cruber, Oklahoma. Mrs. I. L. Markland was hostess at the regular meeting cf the Knicker bocker club, at her home Wednes day evening, when three invited JOSEPHINE LAWRENCE She was sorry, Candace Thane said clearly. . ..

They couldn't aflord 'a "phone,' Candace demurred, turning a radi ant face toward -her husband.. '.'.And the way we feel about our tirile well, everything. T.is;f so.' uncertain,; we place a high value on the hours we can have together." ' ' ' The older woman shrugged her thin shoulders. "You took an awful chance, getting married before your! husband. was called. There's been a lot of criticism of. men who mar ried after the 'Act' "was passed and then claimed exemption."- x .' "I'm not claiming . exemption. Andrew Thane looked soberly at the fire. .-,,.: ' . ; -. Toni sighed. "Well, I've wasted an hour. And I dashed" up here without my knitting, s6 I've accom-t plished just nothing. I, don't sup pose you'd agree 'to knit Mrs. ' Thane? We supply, wool at cost to those who are able to pay for it." "Perhaps a little later," Candace smiled. "If a dollar will be of any help to the wool fund, I'll be glad to give you that. You have 'a dol lar, haven't you, Andy?" His curiously old, veined hands brought out his new, saddle-stitched wallet and his stubby, blunt-tipped fingers extracted a clean .dollar bill. "You ought to get your wife one of our pins, Mr. Thane." Toni took the dollar with a brief "Thanks." The pins sold for as little as two dollars and a half, she continued, and were th sort of thing that in ' time became heirlooms. Someone wished to speak to Mrs. Andrew Thane on the outside phone, Sarah Daffodil announced on the house phone a few evenings later. : "I offered to take the message, but it's very personal." Sarah said cheerfully, when Candace Thane came down. "There on my desk I'll be in the kitchen, if you need . me .. T"h e." The telephone conversation last ed less than five minutes. Molasses-colored lights gleamed in Can dace's wide, decf waves as she put her head in at the kitchen door. "Thank you so much, Mrs. Daffo dil. It wasn't so very personal a woman I'd never met." "My grandmother's sewing chair has a soothing effect on the' nerves." Sarah seated herself on the lovely carved sofa and waited. Candace's steady fingers lighted both cigarettes. "I'm not upset, only annoyed. That call was from the British workrooms. They ex pected me down there this evening, to straighten out their files. A Mrs. Graham phoned and she insisted I am pledged to work two evenings a week." "So?" "The simple truth is that I've re fused from the first. Mrs. Fitts asked me, then someone named .Myrtle Ryder wrote me and to night this director-in-charge calls. No one understands. Andy says it isn't necessary that they do. Do vou think it is necessary, Mrs. Daf fodil?" Sarah put her roughened hand over the smooth little palm up turned on the girl s lap. "Do I think explanations necessary? Not unless you need to convince your selves." "You have always understood, haven't you?" The quiet, clear voice did not quicken or falter, yet heartache and unshed tears lay for a moment unconcealed behind the tranquil brown eyes. "There are so many like us," Candace said "We are young now, but no one is young very long." That's it, thought Sarah. I've wondered what it is so different about them and now I know.

But we figured' that if we 'waited;1 nothing-could ever , be the same. ; Andy . might come., home disabled; or he might not : ' come home at all. ' We'd be older : and there'd be all the memories of our loneliness and unhappy separa tion. Now already we have had something that nothing can take r away; we've' been happy while we're young." ' "Andy and I don't go about sen- . tiroentally sighing that life is beau- ! . tuul but we don t take it for grant- , ; ed, either. Every day we have to gether is wonderful. - Just going to business and coming home at night to each other, means everything. '; There will be plenty of time for , the to do War work.' -Until Andy goesKwe plan to keep our free time ' for each other." ; She had hot intended to stay so long, Candace apologized, er to say so much. Andy would have finished his homework and they had planned to take in the second run at the movies. "I hope, you won't think. we're a couple, of softies who like , to feel sorry for ourselves." Miss Velda was young and blonde and soothing. . She said that every- , one was nervous these days and that Mrs.' Fitts ought to take a lit-1 tie run down to Atlantic City. As. , she talked she shook out snowy towels, draped them about ' the ' gaunt, tense woman in the leather padded chair. "Why don't you take a short vacation over Easter?" the girl urged,, deftly backing the chair, . and its occupant up" to the basin. , "First thing you know, you'll be ' having a breakdown." ! She couldn't go away for Easter, ' Toni murmured, closing her eyes as the warm water began to cas- : cade over her hair.' Perhaps she . had undertaken too much, but she had promised to have four British seamen for dinner that Sunday. "The committee asked us to open our homes and make the men feel ( as if we were their own families. I'm asking my nietie and three of her friends so the sailors will have . some companionship. It meant a . lot of work, Toni added, because ; the newspapers had taken a great interest in the plan and they were : sending up photographers to take pictures of the dinner table and ' the guests. "My, will you be in the picture too?" Miss Velda's firm long fingers vigorously massaged ' her client's scalp. Toni didn't know, but she thought it likely. "Of course I'm not keen about it and I really loathe publici ty. Still, it's for the organization, not for me. We hope that this is only the start that women through out Garset will be willing to fol low our example. They say that these men are pathetically grate ful to their hostesses and hosts. It means a lot to a man far away from home to be a guest in a pri vate home. Don't let the water run in my car." ;i - Her cousin's husband was with ' the Canadian forces. Miss Velda said. "He doesn't care much for the food, but then I've heard, that the U. S. has better cooks.' g.

We always feel that it is a great honor to have lived that many years. Chris Johnson cele brated his birthday quietly with a few close friends in for the after noon, and the Danish Brotherhood had a card shower for him. We regret to say that the L. K. Eidenmillers decided to move to Lin coln, to be closer to his place, of work. He has 'been employed there for some time, and has kept his home here. Mrs. Eidenmlller and daughter, Maxine left last week with their household goods; for their new home. Their . home here was immediately rented to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Elliott and son, of Syracuse, so that Mr. El liott may bo closer to his work at the bomber plant at Fort Crook.

This will-be a dinner at 6:30 after which a program will be given while the guests are still seated at the tables. This is : always a long looked for event by the older people of the com munity. Coal is a scarce article in Weeping Water and wood is still scarcer. There is plenty of wood, we are told, but no one can be found to cut and saw it ready for use. Those not hav ing gas heaters last year are not allowed to install heaters, and oil stoves are tabooed, also, unless they were used last year. It looks like the Mid-west is just beginning to realize the necessities of war. Maj. Marvin L. Hunt arrived Wed nesday from Washington, D. C.
