A slight girl strode past with a
youth her heels. She was all in yel
low, and her pale gold hair burned in
the day’s afterglow. Dick’s glance
Ewung from Clare’s opulejnce to the
figure in primrose, moving with the
careless grace of inexperience.
' “Ingenne!” commented the chief
officer, his gaze settling again on the
figure beside-hhn.
“Yes” — she darted a fast look at
him —“and how one has to protect
oneself from the young!”
He looked at his watch. It was half-
past five. “Sorry. Seamen must work.
No time for dalliance now.”
“But now is always a lovely time.”
Clare stretched languorously in the
depths of her deck chair.
Dick swung along the deck, a tall,
blue figure tacking against the wind.
Clare watched day melt into night.
She could see Macduff roaming up
and down, puffing »t his pipe. “I
wonder if I could make him talk,” she
speculated idly. But he looked so for
bidding that she decided to leave him
alone and go down to dress. ^
In three days Clare had begun to
hear the histories of some of her fel
low passengers. She- knew that the
woman with silver hair, sitting to her
light, w'as taking her husband around
the world forliis health. Glare decid
ed that her face^suggested an inter
esting past, although gloom was blot

At the next table, like a modern

Patty Arundel. Patty had summed up

At last he gave her up reluctantly,
for the music had come to an end. It
was hard to wait for his next dance
with her to begin. Patty had come

Statement of the Condition of
There are special rea.sons, however,
why 1936 promises to be a year ex
traordinary in politics. The era dis
tinctly is one of transition. On every
side it is predicted that the political
action of this 7ear will settle for
years to come the direction of the
transition. Under the citxrumstancee,
it is not .so surprising that bitter po
litical dispute has centered this week
about even so comparatively minor a
topic as the question whether a meet
ing of congress should be held in the
aft^M noon or the evening.
It was a genuine storm of dissen*

Patty snuggled deep in her leather
chair and looked a little moodily at
the figure in gold. What a lovely
gown! She wished that she knew what
men could see in women"who were as
transparent as glass to their own sex.
Patty’s -.thoughts were interrupted
hX-the sudden ‘appearance of her aunt,

a woman who knew the worst and the

Johnny lingered over his cocktail,
reflecting that it was luck to liave

this. Clare walked past his table on
her way to the dining-room, leaving a
trail of perfame that made Johnny’s
nostrils contract with excitement.

that most of the principals on both

Thq/incident W’as inteix'sting be-

tive outjiut is likely to accorxl with
whpl' the members believe, to lie the
popular <k\sire. Which furnishes an
other rea-son for wondering why so
many congressmen .spe-ak so lightly
of, jKilitics. ^
One issue which has l>een a worry
and a dread in all ..political calcula-
tiops definitely apprbached settlement
during the wt*«k. After- years of ne- j
gotiation and maneuvering, the vet-
erarw organizations were brought to
gether behind a bonus payment bill
which 410W appears aJmo.st ceilain of
enactment. It would be difficult to ex.-,
aggerate the relief of prospective
candidates for congress who now see
a prospect that this troublesome is
sue will be behind-them J)efore the
campaign 'begins in earnest.
Pjenty of other troubleS|pme prob
lems remain. The new budget is
crammed with political dynamite, and
the necessity for framing a new neu
trality policy presents special jwliti-
cal difficulties. On this question many
.members are at a loss to guage the
sentiment of their districts; they
seem confused by the pleas of those
who want peace at whatever sacrifice,
those business interests which do not
see why they must give up tempting
foreign market*, and those large
groups of foreign-bom who in many
places are an important part of the
voting population.
Tlhe thing- to remember about the
coming legislative session, and about |
Washington in general m 193^, is that
this is a political year. Recognition of
the plain truth need not’ imply a re
flection on the patriotism or integri^
