Back in we were incat-and-potato people. Now food chemists have taught us much about vitamins and calories tha our diet spreads over a wider range of foods.

She asked herself rebelliously, "Must one go through life being frightened? First you're afraid of being poor, you do something about that and then you're afraid of losing your job. Then you're afraid and finally you are, losing your husband and it's a different kind of fear, hollow and helpless." They spent the evening as usual, on the shoulder. Dan read and played a few games of solitaire.

"What had she done to deserve this?

She had been denied all the things which belong to a woman by right.

The least Dan could do was to show appreciation for her endeavor. The least he could do was to be loving and sympathetic. She had been horrid the night before, she admitted it.

But did not all married couples quarrel on occasion? Hadn't she asked Dan to forgive her? Hadn't she ignored his childish behavior in stamping out of the apartment? Hadn't she, like a silly fool, asked him to kiss iicrr And had he done so? No, he had not. For a moment her injured feelings were forgotten in. a longing for Dan's kiss. She loved the feel of his mouth on hers, his kiss had never lost its thrill for her. Once she had said, touching his lips with her fingertips, "I love your mouth, and hard and tender.

I hate men with soft lips." Dan had laughed, holding her close. you are a connoisseur of kisses. Are you making a collection, by any chance?" And she, brushing his cheek with her lips, had teased, "I get around a little." was when the of their married life had many ligh spots, when even the low ones held contentment und love, Marian removed the eye pads and across the hall.

"Has she quit her job?" "Oh, yes. Randy says she is the domestic type.

Anyway, lie clocavl very logical. Randy says If all the women, especially married women, would drop out of business, thousands of jobs would be available for men. The old men, who have been shoved out, could run elevators, do the filing and accounting in offices, lots of things like that."

So far party eaders are following the President's request that action be confined to this one issue; -which means that for the noment the two houses haven't anything to do. How long this slate will last is an open question, of course. Meanwhile, great many of the legislators who hurried here for the opening session have gone back to their homes again.

This is especially true on the house siele. That body's plan is to convene once every three days as a formality and then recess without doing any business. Many congress'm'cn can see no special point in sticking around just for that. Congressmen On the Spot A lot of (hem feel that they arc more or leas on the spot, though. one middle-western congressman expressed it: "The people back in my district arc all steamed up about this emergency and they figure I'm down here at critical time to help save the country.

Reasonably Priced HOPE HARDWARE CO A number of congresb'm'en have reporters not to publish the fact that they were leaving Washington, that constituents wouldn't accuse them of running out on a crisis. The mere fact that congress has come oack into session has helped the at- nospherc down here. Until congress returned, the general fatalistic assumption that "we're inevitably going to get into this war no matter how hard we try to stay out of it" was so thick in Washington you could citf it with a knife. Congress is so definitely in a non-warlike mood that that sort of talk has greatly subsided.

This, any way you look at it, is an encouraging development. Amateurs Present Crisis Solutions While congress waits for something definite to work on, all sorts of vol- unteors are coming forward to help get the- world out of its crisis. One woman called the office of a leading isolationist senator and said she was willing to sacrifice herself to restore peace. Years ago, she said, she had offered the state of Massachu- sets to let it electrocute her in place of Sacco and Vanzetti. Massachusetts had turned her down; but now she was willing to let herself be burned at the stake, in public, if England, France and Germany would call the war off into calling the war off..
