NEA SCRVICC. !NC. \'citcr<lay: Tran \.in& success but begins lo wondrr about Dr. Benchley. Then the thing hap- pened which threatened to change ker world completely. CHAPTEK XI Tran had started awakt that morninf; thinkini,', "This is the Jay!" It was to havf been the culmi- oation of the dreams of almost Iwo years. For today she was to help at one of Dr. .Stephen Sar- Hnt> operations. True, iho had worked under several of the other surpcons be- fore â€" but that was not the same. Now, scrubbed and sterilized, in laparotomy powii and cap, rubber IfloveB and mask, she was lo take part at last in the antiphonal thant which she had rehearsed •lone with a pair of scissors that iJay. almost two years afro, before the shining cases in the instrument room. . . . That was the first time Bob Benchley h:id kissed her. Oh, well- Today it would be very differ- ent. "Scalpel" Dr. Sargent wouI<l snap. And nurse Dearborn would «lap a knife into his hand with the crisp echo, "Scalpel." . . . "He- tractor" â€" slap â€" "Retractor" . . . "Haemostat" â€" slap â€" "Haemostai." . . . "Forceps" â€" slap â€" "Forceps" . . . But not suture this time. Tran knew now that sutures were hr.ndled only by graduate nurses. In honor of the occasion, Tran had had a shampoo, a fingerwave and a manicure. Not that any one would know the difference, but having done so gave her an up- lifted feeling of being fit and clean and ready, like a priestess per- forming cleansing rites before a sacrifice . . . Beula Tagg, who was also helping, scandalized Tran by cheesing to sleep insTcad of purifying. But then Beula was only to be "dirty nurse," which means that her lot was to pick up messy things that the scrubbed nurses mustn't touch. Tran's mood of exaltation had been momentarily jarred as she hurried along a corridor that mor- ning by the sight of Dr. Benchley and his pretty widow, coming to- gether from one of the private room.s . . . The charming Mrs. Maitlan<i seemed to have a num- ber of friends who were patients the.se days. Something intimately po-ssessivc in the way she retted a hand on Bob's sleeve and laughed up into his face surprised Tran into a sud- den unreasonable fury of resent- ment. A Refusal She reminded herself with a nhrug, "Well, I <ould have had him if I'd liked, couldn't i? I've got what 1 did want, haven't I?" But just then .Mrs. Maitland turned and called over her shoul- der with the exaggerated gracioug- nens of one who makes a rite of being always kind to inferiors, "Oh, nurse â€" won't you have them call my ca.- as you pass the office? I'm in ralhir a hurry." "So sorry, but I'm not goin^ that way," Tran answered with what she hoped was just the right touch of tolerant amusement to point the difference between a busy professional woman and a mere social butterfly, "and I'm in rather a hurry, myself. Nurses, you know, are ."^laves to the clock." Young Dr. Benchley glanced swiftly from one to the other with a manner at first startled; then, as his eyes came to rist on Tran, faintly amused. The Catastrophe Congratulating himself on his happy escape, Tran thought. Well, he's not the only on6. The catastrophe came shortly after the operation was over. To- ward the end, a violent wind and electrical storm had blown up. Even the serenely beautiful Miss Miller, who was handling the su- tures, glanced up ajiprehensively once or twice when small objects hurtled bj the windows or static crackled in the hushed room with each blinding flash of lightning. When it was over, and the pa- tient had been wheeled away, only Dr. Sargent, Miss Miller, an<i Tran remained â€" Miss Miller because Dr. Sargent had detained her; Tran, because there were still things she had to do. Moving about between the in- strument table and the service room, Tran heard Miss Miller say, "Congratulations, Doctor. No one but you could have done that. He'll live, don't you think?" She heard Top Sarge reply a little wearily, "And what, in God's name, has the poor devil to live for? . . . This is the kind of case that makes a surgeon feel like a criminal." "But the operation was success- ful." "The operation? ... Is th;.t all you ever think of, Katherine? .'Vf- ter all, patients are hi;man beings, you know." Shattered Glass Tran didn't mean to listen, but they seemed to have forg^otten her. They were standing together by a window, against a Ktormy background of wind-swryed trees anc' dashing rain â€" star.i" ',ih the look of two who ir. !y drew together, yet in .-.l resolution were left alwi.;, Miss Miller's low, evc;i voice said something el.«e that Tran did not catch, and Dr. Sargent an- swered almost bitterly, "Yes, and even surgeons are sometimes hu- man beings, Katherine. . . . You wouldn't like that, would you? You like flesh and blood machines, always tuned to the highest effi- ciency. I often wonder â€" " It was then that the rending cra.s'i came. A s;ilintered bulk of tree trunk and wet leaves hurtled through the heavy window pane, and shattered glass fell in every direction. Miss Miller cried ^ut in a voice not her own, "Stephen â€" your arm !" Pr. Sargent just stood, his left hand clasped above his right el- bow, while blood spurtei from a deep cut below. After that fir.st shocked outcry. Miss Miller went into action with her usual swift, sure poise, her voice low and even in command, her face a smooth mask nf quiet, self-assured competence, her slim hands working faultlessly as she applied a tourniijuet and dispatch- ed Tran to summon a doctor. Meantime, Stephen Sargent sat with a face like granite, his eye.s on the fingers of that right hand which had performed so many dar- ing miracles â€" fingers that now hung hi:; and helpless, and would not move, no matter how hard he tried to flex them. When Miss Miller said in her ilear, even voice, "As soon as the shock wears off, the nerve will come to life," he only lifted bleak eyes and said with bitter amuse- ment, "Your bedside technique is as perfect as ever. Miss Miller." Just then Dr. Benchley hurried in with a fresh nurse; and Miss Miller turned and walked with her erect, light step out of the room. It was a moment befcre Tran fol- lowed. "Come Alive!" When she did go into the ser- vice room beyond, Katherine Mil- ler, "the icicle," .stood, leaning against a supboard door, her face buried against her bent arm, her body wrenched with sobs. "His arm!" she was moaning. "Oh, no! I couldn't bear that! ... In another year he would have been famous. People would have been coming to Saint Vin- cent'.s from all over the country "Famous! Saint Vincent's! . . . You can't bear it?" Tran snapped before she could remember to bite her cheeks. ".'\nd what about him? If he can't operate any more, it will kill him â€" or worse . . . Why don't you try thinking about him for a change?" Mis« Miller whirled upon her, her blue eyes blazing through tears. "You little fool!" she cried. "What else would I be thinking about?" "Then for heaven's sake," Tran said hardily, "go and do something about it. Let him see how you feel. You're the only one who can do him any good now." "But I â€" I can't." Amazingly the correct Miss Miller was crying out in the thin, high voice of a frightened child. "He's so â€" I'm afraid. . . . You know what he's like." "Why should you be afraid of him if I'm not?" Tran demanded. "He's crazy about you. Any one with eyes can see 'that. If he hasn't told you, it's probably be- cause he thinks â€" like a lot of oth- er people around here â€" that you are â€" well, not fiuite human. . . . You can't blame him, you know, the way you go around acting like a frozen plaster saint . . . For heaven's sake, if you really want him to know that you're actually alive, with feelings like the rest of us, go and tell him so now, while you look like it for the first time in your life!"

New Textures Are Appealing Interior Decoration Has Def- inite Place In The Arts The new fabrics for interior dec- oration are so exciting, so lovely and so varied that homemakers will not only want to redecorate every room in the house, but will find themselves in a state of happy uncertainty regarding the embar- rassment of riches from which to choose. Of exceptional beauty and dis- tinction are the new cottons, spun rayons and combinations of these two fibres, not to mention the lin- ens and mohairs, which are wov- en with a new and different ap- pearance. These are good looking, suitable for either period of mod- ern interiors and not too expens- ive. Rough, irregular textures with definite but subtle surface inter- est, resembling hand-loomed fab- rics and hand crocheted-type cot- tons, appear in an infinite variety of weaves and patterns. Dull and bright yarns are interlaced, chen- ille is effectively used in velvety contrast to gleaming spun rayon or soft, dull textured cotton grounds. Fringe steps into the pic- ture with spectacular results and some of the new fabrics have all- over fringed surfaces. Swag treat- ments in which closely-woven fab- ric bands alternate with wide in- terwoven fiores in festoon effect offer endless decorative possibil- ities. Prints are new looking and striking on rough texture*. Deep Breathing Achieves Poise Awkward, Nervous People Us- ually Breathe Incorrectly Correct breathing will give you poise. Is your voice high and shrill? Are your gestures quick and jerky? Do you dart here and there and bump into furniture? In cooking, do you burn yourself often? Do dishes slip from your hands and smash? Do you narrowly miss be- ing run down by taxi cabs? Do you arrive wherever you are going in a state of breathlessness? Then undoubtedly you lack poise and it is equally certain that you habitually breat^se short, quick breaths from tho upper part of the chest. MeiUal poise will deepen your breathing automatically â€" but deep, rhythmic breathing will restore your mental serenity auto- matically, too. Circulation Will Respond If your housework seems to be a scries of disasters, stop and do a little deep breathing. It may seem to slow you up, but you won't have so many mistakes to correct. If tho world seems all wrong. 1 reatho deeply. Your circulation will respond and give you a sense of poiso and well being ngain.

Queen's Influence On Hairdressang The Latesit Thing Achie^i-ad By Hair Stylists is the "Queen Elizabeth Coiffure" "Queen Elizabeth infljance" it the latest thing in beaut;.' circles. A cosmetics mar.i:facturer points out that the Queen's favor- ite daytime frocks in gray and beige and evening gowns in white, gray or silver should be -.vorn with rich â€" not gaudy â€" make-u^. That's why, they bay, they ara putting out the new rich red lipstick and rouge â€" royalty red. But it's the hair styliit;>, who, in vernacular, have "gone t* town." They're designing coiffur- es "for" the Queen, "insoired by" the Queen, or lo be worn with frocks for which the Quesa is said to have expressed a fondness. Take the "crinoline dress coif- fure" cf M. Vasco, an English hair stylist. It is suppoisd to be worn with the crinoline dresses made so popular by the Queen. In this "crinoline dress coiffure" the hair is parted in tl:e centre. There's a bunch of flat curls on the forehead. The side hair is swept high and the back hair ar- ranged in a knot of Grecian curls. Then there's the hair dress exe- cuted by a London hair stylist in honor of Her Majesty. In it tlia hair on top and at the sides is about four inches in length. It's curled, then combed out and wav- ed in crown fashion. The rest waves straight down tlie back of the head and is finisheJ with a row of soft curls at the nape of the neck.
