We’ll still be keeping company after we’re married.” Sweet Young Thing: “Yes, my mother, father and brothers.”--------v-------FOR AWHILE Patient: “How are my chanches, Doc?” Doctor: “Oh, pretty good, but I wouldn’t advise you to start reading any continued stories.” When The Birds Have Flown A Short Story By Margaret E. Vargo Idamay, West Virginia (Continued from Last Issue) “Oh, I’m so sorry,” said Dorothea, very sincerely. “You must feel exhausted. Why, you’re using your sleeping time for this trip!” She went on, almost unbelievingly, “Won’t you sit down for a minute? I’ll try to arrange for you to see her immediately.” The stranger was Stephen. He had been so appreciative of the favor, that some unknown urge prompted the nurse to tell him of her difficulty. He had volunteered to be a blood donor. That night Stephen saw his sister and cheered her up; he had saved a child’s life, and he became deeply interested in the nurse whom he thought was the personification of the ideal and humane nurse. “When’s the wedding to be?" asked Claudia. Dorothea mentally came back to the present and answered, “In about two monhts.” “Well, I’m certainly happy for you, and wish you lots of luck”, remarked Claudia, who, though she had married a millionaire’s son, was still as humble, sweet and unspoiled as she’d been in college. Her marriage had been a brilliant one, news of it made the papers all over the country. Claudia Andrews, an officer in the Women’s Auxiliary Army Corps had met handsome Lieutenant David Rogers at a dance for army officers. Sylvia Adams turned on the radio and listened to a speech on a scientific subject. She tried to listen to this program every day, just as she had with her husband, the late Dr. Abraham Adams. Sylvia had taken her husband’s place on the college faculty as head of the chemistry department when Dr. Adams went into the service. He worked in the research department for the government. Someone carelessly mislabeled a bottle, and the high explosive, innocent looking liquid when added to a flask for boiling had caused a fire. The flames threatened to demolish some valuable defense BUY UNITED STATES AND STAMPS experiment records. Dr. Adams succeeded in saving the papers, but the burns he sustained, had proved fatal. Nora, reminded by something in her reading, looked up. “How is your book coming along?” “Our book,” corrected Sylvia, “will go to press soon. Abe conceived the idea for it, and I’m just finishing a few details. It will be a boon to those students who in the past have found chemistry hard. Why, the book just simplifies everything about chemistry.” Sylvia had certainly adjusted herself to the loss of her husband. Everything she did was a beautiful gesture to his memory. She considered it not her duty, but her privilege, to carry on his work in his name. Charlotte, who had been examining the gifts, was called to try on her gown. The delicate pink shade complimented her fair complexion and blonde hair. Nora observed, “That’s the same sháde asthe gown you wore thenight you met Jeffrey Brown.But you look even prettier in this thenyou did that night.” Howcould Charlotte have forgottenwhat she wore that night? — but in a disinterested tone she asked, “Oh, is it in the same shade?” “Gee,” said Claudia. “I’ll never forget the night you and your roommate, Madge, came prowling into our room long after Helen and I had been asleep. I’ll never forget the sensation I had when I heard voices and the light was shining into my eyes. I couldn’t remember where I was, or what day or night it was for a while,” she continued, laughing frequently. Sylvia joined in the conversation. “Oh, yes, I remember that night. I roomed across the hall from you two, and I had been aroused by the commotion and had gone over to investigate. We didn’t sleep much that night. Charlotte hadn’t slept any. That’s why she came to see you.” “Wasn’t that the night Charlotte received Jeff’s fraternity pin?” Charlotte concertrated on the gown and supervised the examination of the hem by the dressmaker. “Yes,” said Madge. “You and Charlotte were almost equally excited, for you knew that Charlotte had something exciting to reveal to you; but she kept you in suspense, until finally she sent me to our room to bring it. When I returned with the dress she intended to wear it the next day with the fraternity pin attached, you were all delighted, though not entirely surprised. Then your room-mate, Helen, who could think of the funniest things, quickly fastened a fancy rhinestone pin on the pocket of one of her dresses and told us quite dramatically, that her pin was much bigger than the one Charlotte had.” “Where is Helen now?” Sylvia wanted to know. “I haven’t heard from her for years — not since she was married." “Oh her baby is just three weeks old, so she couldn’t be here,” informed Madge, who had just finished placing her gown on a hanger and fastened the hanger to the chandelier. “When did you see Jeffrey last?” asked Sylvia. Charlotte hesitated. “Not for a long time.” Then she hurriedly went on, “And I don’t care if I don’t see him.” Charlotte was sure she had said the right thing to convince the girls that her interest in Jeff was completely over. But her voice had told Madge that her opinion had been right. Charlotte realized her mistake and was missing Jeff.
