She had been growing more and more depressed and morbid; she seemed little interested in living. Father Kleinsorge went to see her several times. On his first visit, he kept the conversation general, formal, and yet vaguely sympatheic, and did not mention religion, Miss Sasaki herself brought it up the second time he dropped in on her.

He has; fallen from grace through sin.” And he went on to ex- plain all the reasons for everything. It came to Mrs. Nakamura’s atten- tion that a carpenter from Kabe was STRICTLY BUSINESS by McFeatters “Pilbeam, you've been with us a long time, and the company wants to do something for you—take the rest of the afternoon off!” THESE WOMEN!

Mrs. Nakamura had lost the certificates for her bonds and other wartime savings, but fortun- ately she had copied off all the num- bers just a few days before the bomb- ing and had taken the list to Kabe, and so, when her hair had grown in enough for her to be presentable, she went to her bank in Hiroshima, and a clerk there told her that after checking her numbers against the records the bank would give her her mopey.

It was Nobori-cho, near the site of her former house, and though its floor was ‘dirt and it “was dark inside, it was at least a home in Hiroshima, and she was no longer dependent on the charity of her indaws. During the spring, she cleared away some nearby wreakage and planted a vegetable garden. She cooked with utensils and ate off plates she scavenged from the debris.

It brought only a hundred yen, which did not last long. In June, she went to Father Kleinsorge for advice about how to get along, and in early August, she was still con- sidering two alternatives he suggested —taking work as a domestic for some of the Allied occupation forces, or borrowing ‘from her relatives enough money, about five hundred yen, or a bit’ more than thirty dollars, to re- pair her rusty sewing machine and resume the work of a seamstress.
