THE LIVE -r 5 15 lIllHHHY Blair,s Furlough Marie walked slowly home through whirls of colored leaves and golden sun- light. She had auburn hair and hazel eyes, and now, with the bright leaves drifting around her, she looked prettier than ever. Many people stopped to watch the lovely picture Marie made in her green wool sweater and plaid skirt, her roller skates flung over her shoul- der, and a letter gripped tightly in the other hand. The minute she reached home, she raced up the stairs, humming one of the latest dance tunes. All her serenity dis- appeared. She Hung her books on the bed, and danced happily around the room. Pausing in front of the mirror, she smiled at what she saw, and spun around the room three times, landing in the middle of her bed, the unopened letter in her hand. Marie held the letter up. It looked exciting, she thought, as she ripped it open. Her eyes sparkled and she un- consciously smiled to herself. Guess what, Ienniferf she addressed ner sleepy kitten, Blair,s coming home on a furlough! Now, Iill see him in his Navy uniform. I'll bet heis a darling. Just think, kitty darling, Fridayf, She never realized. how much she really did miss him. If Friday were only here. She could see him now-the way his eyes wrinkled at the corners when he smiled, his brown wavy hair, the funny swagger he had when he walked. Oh Blair, Blair, Iill never be WIRE j +- able to waitf, The next few days seemed endless to Marie, as her parents helped her make preparations for Blair.

Everything. She always had wonderful times with Blair, even when they WG1'6Il,t doing anything special. After years of waiting, Friday finally arrived, a nice golden fall day. Marie stood patiently on the station platform, looking very pretty and un- sophisticated in her pale blue woolen dress, her bright hair tied with a blue ribbon. From a distance she heard a train whistle blow. Her heart began to beat faster, until she thought it might jump right out of her mouth. The train pulled up at the station, she saw a Hash of blue leap from the steps. Then she found herself in Blairis arms, her cheek against his. Oh, it was good to be together again. Iust wonderful. i'Blair, darling, have you missed me?,' What do you think, funny-face?', he said gently, tilting her head back to look at her. So they walked gaily up the street, seuffing in the leaves, his sailor hat perched jauntily on her red curls, and holding hands. The two weeks passed quickly-too quickly, Blair and Marie thought. Marie rounded up their old gang, or what was left of it, and they did the town up righti' from movies to corn roasts. On his last day Blair and Marie were
