CHAPTER XIII
“That’s why,” explained Bar
bara. I'm allergic to it or some
thing. You know how some people
can t eat strawberries and others
are poisoned by shrimps.”
“Nonsense!” exclaimed Tony.
“Okra couldn't hurt you. If it
made you ill you must have been
upset already.'
“I suspect so,” said Barbara,
but she did not take the rest of
her chowder.
They arrived at the Aker place
at the cocktail hour. The spacious
lounge was already crowded with
guests, but Rosemary abandoned
everyone to greet Tony and his
wife. She hurried over to them,
her eyes shining. She clung to To
ny's hand and Tony looked at her
as if he eouhi never stop looking.
Barbara felt less at a disadvan
tage than she had previously felt
with the younger girl. Rosemary
had on a severely plain pink linen
dress and she was lovely, but Bar
bara in her smart blue striped
shantung with her chic beige hat
and gloves was lovely, too. wheth
er Tony noticed or not.
On the way upstairs to dress
for dinner, Tony grinned at her.
“Nice going,” he said. “I thought
you always claimed to be a lud in
society.”
Barbara's heart leaped. Auda
ciously she reached up and kissed
him. “You haven’t seen anything
yet, Mr. Blake,” she said.
They had been given separate
bedrooms with a connecting bath.
Barbara could hear Tony whistl
ing in his shower.. He was ready
before she was, but when he
knocked on the door she told him
to go on down. “I haven’t finished
putting on the war paint,” she
called out.
She began to get ii^to her even
ing frock. She had chosen it with
inward fear and trembling. It was
more daring than anything she
had ever tried to wear—a gypsy
red celanese, very decollette. She
dusted a tiny bit of powder over
her cheekbones before she started
down. It was then she noticed her
lips looked a little puffy. She re
did her mouth. She thought she
had used too much lipstick, altho
she han tried to be so careful.
However, although she took every
precaution, her mouth still looked
a bit puffy when she finished.
“It’s just my imagination,’’ she
told herself.’Tve got a plain case
of stage fright. And why not? If
only I were back in Dwight and
we were poor and I could wear a
house dress and not worry about
my looks, because Tony loves me
and nobody else counted with him
she thought, clinging to the door
knob.
When she entered the drawing
room everyone stared at her as if
she were a different person, es
pecially those who had always
wondered what Tony saw in his
quiet unexciting little wife. Bar
bara enjoyed a small triumph
while the 'butler was passing, the
cocktails.
At dinner Barbara was seated
across the table from Tony but he
kept looking at her. Barbara talk
ed gaily with her partners and lor
the first time in her life acthatly
scintillated. Her face tingled and
after a time her palms began to
itch. At the same time her left
eyelid had a curious feeling as it
it was very stiff.
Still she did not realize what
had nappened until her nose be
gun to itch also. She put her
hand up to it and there was huge
welt across it. She looked at her
hand and there was a long red
welt there too. Then she knew,
and for a moment she thought
she would die. She even wished
he could.
Her host looked at Barbara and
then leaned closer for another
look. “My dear Mrs. Blake," he
said in an embarrassed voice, “are
you ill?’’
Barbara ran her tongue along
her lips. They felt twice their nor
mal size. They felt horribly dis
torted and swollen. So did her
eyelids. She could feel the welts
popping out on her cheeks. Ev
erybody was staring at her.
“No,’' said Barbara at last in a
drained voice. “I'm not ill Mr.
Akers. I ate some okra for lunch
ana it always gives me—” she
g.anced down at Rosemary with
her exquisite fea.ures a; d deli
cate translucent skin ant. drew
another painful breath. “No,” said
Barbara again, “I’m not ill 1 just
have a good case of—of hives.
Everybody laughed. She had
known they would. People always
think that hives is a funny disease
She did not look at Tony. She
thought she could not endure the
expression on his face. She knew
she was a sight. The welts were
coming out on her arms and
throat, also.
They insisted on calling a doc
tor. Barbara shook her head.
“Nothing will do any good except
to soak in a bathtub full of hot
water and soda and starch. And
she tried to smile, “I don’t need
assistance for that." She got to
her feet. She was still trying to
smile with her stiff swollen lips.
“At least,” she said with a shrill
little laugh, “I can retire to the
privacy of my room and spare the
rest of you the painful sight.” She
turned blindly toward the door.
“Wait, Barbara, I’ll go with
you,” Tony called out.

THE
WORD
BY REV.
ROGERS
God’s Bomb Shelter
Today we see bomb shelters,
gun emplacements, concrete pill
boxes constructed by the ingenu
ity of man; having the idea ir.
mind that nothing can destroy
them. As we have learned in this
present conflict one nation builds
and another destroys. This brings
to our minds the fact that noth
ing made or constructed by the
wisdom of man is really safe.
Remembering the Titanic in
her glory and splendor as she
started out on her voyage from
Southampton, England, broad
casting that nothing could nossi
bly sink her, but God was listen
ing to the thoughts and boastings
of man in his weak effoyts to
build something safe by his own
streng'h. end prepared an ice
berg *o destroy this thing so
ere-' ti,„ 0f man. Tate
Ge’many for instance, they hav#
built fortifications, and under
ground factories, saying these
will neve he destorved but they
have been and will be. Men are
still insisting that tbev can build
things of safety which cannot be
destroyed.
When a man is born again, ac
cosding to (John 1:1'!) he is.
“born not of blood, nor of the
will of the flesh nor of the will of
man, but of God.” He is then
placed as an open target for the
enemvWe are not fighting against
he natural enemy. but as the J
Word says, in Eph. “Wei
wrestle not against flesh and j
blood, but against principalities,1
leainst powers, against the rulers,
if darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high pla-'
•es.” Seeing: then that we fight
not the natural, but the spiritual
powers of darkness, we need
spiritual protection. Let us then
find Gods BOMB SHELTER
which is the blood of His Son.
Then when tne enemv drops tus
bombs of despair, sickness, pov
erty, and sadness upon you. we
have His promise that nothing;
shall by any means hurt you.
With the blood over our heads
to protect us from spiritual wick
edness and powers of the air,
those who fear the Lord shall al
so have protection from all sides,
as the promise is in (Psalnr 24:7)
“The angel of the Lord encamp
eth round about them that fear
Him, and delivereth them.” Then
let us fear -His name and plead
His blond, that we may be safe,
for safety is of the Lord and not
in the fragrile inventions of man.
The ouestion is can Satan
pierce through this armor plate
of the BLOOD of the Son of God,
with his weapons of spiritual war
fare against your soul. The an
swer is NO. The only way for
one of his arrows or bombs to
find their wav to your heart is to
find an opening where the BLOOD
does not cover. Let us then plead
the blood over our lives that we
mav be protected hv His gTeat
BOMB SHELTER. We also have
an inner defense Isa. 59:1'.) when
the enemy shall come in like a
flood the Spirit of the Lord shall
“ft up a standard against him.’'
Praise His wonderful name!
The blood is not only a protec
tion from the enemy but also a
protection from the wrath of God
We recall the decree of God
against Pharaoh in slaying the
first horn of every family, it was
only the blood that saved the
children of Israel. “Without the
shedding of blood there is no ri
mission of sin.” The sin which
biingeth the wrath of God upon
the children of disobedience, let
us then plead the blood that we
n.ay escape the judgment placed
upon sin.
