CHATTER TL "1 was to tell"you to get a room al the Crestview, and--" Abruptly the agitated voice at the other end of the line Lroke off. When the girl spoke again, it was with the studied impersonality of the regi- mented operator: "I am sorry. Your party does not answer." For a moment Christine sat, stunned, trying to grasp the entirety of the dilemma in which she found' herself. She did not even try to understand the amazing cédnversa- tion she had just finished. She could go to the hotel, of course--but in the present state of her finances, any hotel" bill assumn- ed the dimensions of a national ... Or she might just sit here for the rest of the night. But in that event, how was she to get rid of that officious young man? As she had expected, he was waiting inexorably when she went back to the platform. "Well?" he demanded. "Well," Christine told him, cat- ching at the first phrases fate lent to her tongue, "it scems that as the result of an unexpected domestic upheaval, my cousin had no one to send to meet me.

It's Thorenson--Christine Thorenson." RY » * Once in her luxurious quarters at the Crestview, Christine emptied the contents of her purse on the bed and counted anxiously. When she had told the bare- headed young man that she was "all right," she had been guilty of a brash overstatement. After she had bought her railway ticket, she had had left a thin sheaf of bills which she optimistically expected to stretch into pin-money and mod- est tips to Cousin Emma's house- hold. . : Now, after the extravagance of a night at the most "respectable" hotel in Surf City, she would bare- ly have enough for a return ticket to New York--and no prospects to speak of after she got back. "Oh, well," Christine told her- seld, "Cousin Emma must have made some arrangement for me, I'll hear from her tomorrow." She took a bath in the luxurious tub, put on her best satin night- gown, and fell into a "dreamless sleep. » * * When the sunlight awoke her |. early next morning, her immediate interest was only in breakfast--lots of it. She dressed carefully, fHecring her green linen with the orange and black embroidery, which was per- fect with the copper of her hair, and the opened-toed pumps she had picked up-for almost nothing at a fittte New York shop. On her way through the hotel lobby it occured to her that there must be a message from Cousin Emma, and stopped at the desk. . «But there was no message for Miss Thorenson, Cheistine thought a: little forlorn- ly as she went down the Boardwalk, scrutinizing the menus posted in the windows of the cheaper res- taurants, "I'll think of something-- after I've had a good, strong cup of coffee" RY * But even after two cupse-neither know - DELICIOUS MEALS BY CANADIAN ARMY COOKS Bs 3 Delicious army. meals come tram these « ovens made of scrap material.
