MARINE’S THANKSGIVING [ Continued, from Page 356] sort of home this was to which he was going now. Approaching the Reagan’s house; he found that the door swung open al- most before he had rung the bell, and a pair of bright blue eyes looked up into his. A laughing v o i c e in quired, “Sergeant Mike Donovan?” He bowed in mock formality. “At your service, fair one,” he murmured. You had to be polite when you were going out to dinner. But his heart was not in what he said. “I’m Maxine,” the girl went on, tak ing his cap and ushering him- into a long, beautifully furnished ' living room. “Mother! Dad!” she called eagerly. “Sergeant Donovan is here.” Mike was -aware of a tall, quiet man who gave his. hand, a grip,, arid of Mrs. Reagan’s saying, in an adult edition of Maxine’s voice, warm and friendly: “Welcome to our home,” and his spirits lifted. This was a r e a l ho.me. Perhaps here he would, find what he was looking for. ; , . - “Ah, shucks,” a disappointed boy’s voice exclaimed. “I thought he was a flier.” Mike looked around, arid Maxine proffered, “This is my small •brother, Jerry.” “You interested in flying, Jerry?” Mike asked,easily. “And how!” the tjoy -replied, the same quick interest in his v o i ’c e. “How’d you like to come up to my room after dinner and see my model planes?” ; “And this ,is Evelyri,” Maxine inter rupted with coldness in her voice as - another girl entered the room. Something was wrong here. The girls were obviously sisters—yet they were different. Maxine was vivid. One knew ' immediately that she lived on the crest of excitement. He glanced at Evelyn. Her hair was as fair, her eyes as blue as Maxine’s, yet she never would compell interest in a crowd. Still, there was something about her that impressed him. Before he could think further, dinner was announced. The sight of the long table laid With snowy damask, sparkling glass es, and beautiful dishes brought a lump to Mike’s throat. Often the fel lows had talked of just'such a table as this, as they had opened another can of rations and wiped grimy hands as the only preparation to eating. “Oh boy!” Jerry exclaimed, forget ting planes while the turkey was brought in. “ Did Mums and I have a-time find ing that?” Maxine put in, claiming Mike’s attention. “We tramped the city over and rode the bus to mar ket after market—to save gas,” she

added virtuously, “ before we found this, one.” Jerry’s iriind already had gone back to planes.. "Say, Sergeant, which do you think is the best one to cover your landings, the Corsair or t h e Wildcat?” “Oh, Jerry,” Maxine snapped. “Can’t you forget those things for a min ute?” g “ Jerry’s going to, be a flier some day, aren’t you, Jerry?” Evelyn put in proudly smiling at her y o u n g brother as though to ease the s t bn g of Maxine’s annoyance. To Mike’s amazement, Jerry only scowled in answer. Clearly Evelyn was in disfavor here. What had she done? She didn’t look guilty or a- shamed or even unhappy. On the con trary, her face was radiant. Evelyn did not join the family af-' ter dinner, and Mike guessed s h e must have been assigned “K. P. duty.” It was evident that Maxine was on the entertainment committee, with Jerry helping. Maxine’s voice did not hesitate in its chatter when Evelyn came into the room, but Mike heard Evelyn say, "“I’m going out: for a little, Mother. I promised to take cookies to the C.S.O. this afternoon in time for their meet ing tonight.” Then she turned to him: “It’s nice to have met you, Sergeant. I may not get back before you leave, so I’ll say good-by now.” “C.S.O.?” Mike questioned as Eve lyn disappeared i n t o the kitchen again. “ Christian Service Organization,” Maxine informed him lightly. “Eve- lyn’-s got religion,” she added mock ingly,- ignoring her sister when she came back, carrying a large basket of cookies.“What time she isn’t in church singing hymns and braying, she’s baking cookies for this C.S.O. It’s down in a tough part of town, and I shouldn’t think a selfjrespect- ing girl would be found there.” “I don’t go to the C.S.O. in the eve ning, Maxine,” Evelyn said quietly.
