York exchange. OFFICE nurse By Adelaide Humphries by Adelaide Humphries; Distributed by NEA SERVICE, INC. XXVI This particular day when Betty Jane had forced herself to take her red swollen eyelids to the office and Dr. Holbrook had wished he had not had to face Janice, was a day which Miss Willows recognized, from its beginning, as an unusul one. To begin with, everyone except Miss Willows was late.

So late, in fact, that Miss Willows began to wonder if she were going to have to manage the office without any assistance. It promised to be one of the "noetic" days; 32 patients were booked. Some of them were already sitting in the waiting room, casting furtive glances at one another over the pages of magazines they were pretending to. read, and undoubtedly beginning to wonder if Miss Willows were going to run things all by herself. Betty Jane finally came in, murmured a soft apology to Miss Willows and hurried across the waiting room.

Hmm, Miss Willows thought, what's eating her? Eyes all red and swollen, voice kind of wavery. Tift with the boy friend, no doubt. People, Miss Willows decided, should keep their private lives away from a business office. Dr. Holbrook came in shortly after the door that he, and sometimes Miss Hilary, used.

From his own office he gave the signal which indicated that he wanted Miss Willows to come to him. "Has Janice Miss Hilary come in yet?" the doctor asked as soon as she reached him. Miss Willows glanced at him She thought, Good grief! He looks almost as bad as Betty Jane this morning. She said No, Miss Hilary had not yet arrived. "That's good!" The doctor emitted an enormous sigh and let his face unstretch.

"Let me know the minute she comes in." Miss Willows then asked if he would see Mrs. Smythc-Smith first really was if he would take Miss Susie Fox who was an older patient. "It doesn't mutter," Dr. brook returned. His face took on that strained expression again.

Was it because Jancie's name had been brought in, Miss Willows wondered. She sent in Miss Fox. Drive to Cut Spending for Scarce Foods Washington, Feb. 6 government reported signs today that its campaign to cut spending for scarce foods is off to a running start. The Agriculture Department said a review of market trend since the first of the year shows widespread resistance by housewives to the high price of butter and choice meat cuts.

Demand for meat in some areas, the report said, has turned "sluggish." Consumers are showing more interest in cow and chuck beef, veal and larnb, less in steaks and roasts from top grade steers. In the dairy markets the demand for butter fell off more sharply than usual after the yearend holidays, the department found. It said high prices were a factor. Secretary Anderson said yesterday self-rationing of this kind is one way to put the brakes on inflation of food prices. "The high cost of living is so serious that we cannot afford to do nothing while waiting for legislation to deal with the problem," Anderson declared.

He spoke to a score of consumer, food industry and farm representatives who will advise the government on its nationwide voluntary self-rationing program. Anderson said consumers should be especially careful of their spending for meat because it is leading the forward march of prices. Two more patients arrived. Then Mrs. Downey went out to get a bite of belated breakfast before she returned to see the doctor, Miss Fox was disposed of, and Mrs.

Smythe-Smith had already entered the inner sanctum; when Janice finally appeared. "I'm sorry I'm so late." she said to Miss Willows. Like Betty Jane, she did not sound sorry. But Miss Willows did not object. Janice might be having her personal problems, as Miss Willows was well aware, she kept them resolutely to herself.

However, to Miss Willows' surprise, Janice said now, "Miss Willows, I want to tell you something personal." Miss Willows nodded. She had learned that people often told more if you asked less. "I am going away," Janice said. "I have to go away. I know it doesn't seem right just now with Mrs.

Yes," Janice said. She gave Miss Willows one of her warm smiles. "I want you to assure Dr. Holbrook that the office can get along without me. You see" something like a shadow crossed Janice's candid promised I'd so for at least a month." "Then you are comina back?" Janice gave Miss Willows a startled look.

yes, so far as I know." Miss Willows reached across the desk to give one of Janice's hands a quick, firm pressure. "Don't worry." she said. "The office can Hot along well enough. After all Betty Jane has been here long enough now to handle nearly anything thai might come up. And I vviJl promise to do more than my part." It was just then that thp outside door flew open.

And at the same moment, several other doors also opened, but less dramatically. Betty Jane opened a door from the room whore she had been closeted with Miss Susie Fox; the door to the doctor's inner office was opened and Dr. Holbrook himself stood there in a last-minute polite leave-taking of Mrs. Smvlhe-Smith. Miss Willows jumped up to stand behind her desk.

And Janice turned around. A man stood at the outer door, an unshaven, disheveled, wild- looking sort of person. He held a shiny revolver in his right hand. (To Be Continued) FIRST PENTECOSTAL Fourth and Ferguson T. F.

Those who are not attending services DOROTHY DIX Divorce Spurt Statistics show that one marriage out of three ends in divorce, and those who keep tab on the matter gloomily prophesy that soon half of the marriages will go on the rocks.

And it makes one wonder why entering the holy estate has gotten to be such a risky adventure, for human nature hasn't changed. Romance hasn't petered out. Youths and maidens still fall in love just as they have always done, and they still expect their weddings to have the fairy tale ending, "and so they were married and lived happily ever after- word." But whereas in the past marriage a binding contract in which a man and woman swore before the altar to cleave to each other so long as lasted, now 'it has become little more than an option that each takes out on the other and that they feel free to break they please. Divorce, once looked upon as a disgrace, has become merely an innocuous swapping of partners that calls for no hard feelings, and it is quite the proper thing for ex- husbands and wives to remain on the most friendly terms with each other. Leaving out of the discussion the moral aspects of the case and whether husbands and wives who live a cat-and-dog together serve any good purpose in sustaining a relationship in which they are both unhappy and which brings out al the worst characteristics in each of them, it raises a number of questions to which we do not know the answers.

Worthy Persons Also Fail Of course, in a case where a man discovers that the angel of. his dreams is a virago and a nagger, or a woman finds oiit that her fairy prince is a heel, it is easy to understand why their love would turn to hate. But it is not easy to comprehend why so many worthy men and women, who have no real Washington 4-H a.m. at the school. Rocky Mound H.D.C.—2 p.m.

Saturday, February 14: Office grievance against each other and who thought themselves so much in love that they could not live apart, so soon discover that they cannot live with each other. Why do so many husbands and wives bore each other to tears? Why are there so many husbands and wives who never speak except to quarrel? There are many answers to this sad conundrum of why there are so many unhappy marriages that end in divorce, or just being an endurance test. There are the boy and girl whose- tastes are changing every day as they grow up and who find that they have nothing in common with the child they married.

There are the marriages of youngsters who mistook a passing fancy for a deathless passion. The optimistic marriages of those who believed that they could live on love and bread and cheese and kisses. The marriages of those, who thought they could reform drunkards ami naggers. And so on through all the dreary list of human blunders. Probably there were always just as many uncongenial marriages in the, past as there are now.

Probably Grandpa got on Grandma's nerves just as much as any husband of today gets on his wife's once the honeymoon has set. Both Grandma and Grandpa didn't take their troubles to the divorce court. They stood by their bargain. And that is why marriages lasted, instead of one out of three ending in divorce. (Released by The Bell Syndicate, Inc.)
