GIRL: All right. And what if I am? Everybody can't be a rich, beautiful, glamorous, witty heiress with beaus all over the place sending Valentines all the time!
CUPID: True, my ferocious little fruitcake, true.
But everybody can smile . . . and you don't! Don't you know a sparkling smile gets more men than home cooking?
GIRL.: Sure. But my smile's as sparkling as a boiled potato!
CUPID: Ever try brushing your teeth?
GIRL: Did I ev— ? Listen, my fresh little friend, I brush my teeth regular as anything! And they still don't sparkle. And what's more I've even begun seeing "pink" on my tooth brush lately!
CUPID: Oh? And what'd your dentist say?
GIRL: Dentist? What dentist? Who said any—
CUPID: Well of all the waffle-brained—! Listen, Sis, that "pink" on your tooth brush is a warning to see your dentist right away! Because he may find your gums are being robbed of exercise by today's soft foods. And he may suggest "the helpful stimulation of Ipana and massage."
GIRL: My smile. We were talking about my smile. Remember?
CUPID: Sugar, we still are! Don't you know that a sparkling smile depends largely on firm, healthy gums?
And this Ipana not only cleans teeth, it's specially designed, with massage, to help your gums. Massage a little extra Ipana on your gums when you brush your
teeth, and . . . bang! You've started yourself on the road to a sparkling smile! Okay? Then get
started . . .Today, Sugar. Ipana and massage.

In the course of the year, a total of 4,756 veterans have applied for inter- views and got them.

Again Lady Luck took care of a real son of Erin. The big ship was anchored at Pearl Harbor. Danny was on the flight deck when, without warn- ing, a tremendous block-and-tackle pulley swung sharply around, knocking him completely off the deck and into the water. A nearby launch fished him out; he suffered a broken back. "I might have been killed but quick action by Navy medics saved me." Danny was hospitalized in Hawaii and San Diego for nine months.

Last year he came to New York, won himself a Monday evening half hour program of his own and a co-starring spot with Evelyn Knight on CBS's Thursday Powder Box Revue. He has also been signed by Majestic records. Danny is twenty-four, blue-eyed and black-haired. He is married to a former Detroit night club dancer, an Irish colleen, dimpled and pert-nosed, who answers to the name of Gerrie Healy O'Neill. They have an eighteen-months- old son, William Michael, and live in a modest Morningside Heights apartment. When Danny isn't busy singing he's helping his dad run a new restaurant, called The Pin Up Room.

Introducing
John Scott Trotter
JOHN SCOTT TROTTER, NBC maes- tro, is one of those easy-going Southerners who amble comfortably along but who seem to get places, nevertheless. He is the band leader of the NBC Kraft Music Hall program and a neo- phyte in the society of radio's big name bands. Bing Crosby gave Trotter his start. After eight years with Hal Kemp as pianist and arranger, Trotter parted company with his boyhood chum and college classmate and went to Holly- wood in 1935 in search of fortune. To Trotter, "Pennies From Heaven" became a literal windfall. He was as- signed to write the orchestration for Crosby's picture of that title. He wrote it so well, so melodiously, that the great crooner was duly impressed. He tucked Trotter's name in a corner of his mind. Trotter was born in Charlotte, N. C, on June 14, 1908. By the time he was fourteen, he was playing difficult Bach inventions and Beethoven sonatas. He was convinced that music was to be his career, though his parents were not so sure. Just in case he changed his ocUiV HON? mind about music, he matriculated at MARSH* the University of North Carolina rather than at a music conservatory. Among his classmates were Kay Kyser, Jan Garber and Hal Kemp, an old friend. At the time Kemp was organizing another North Carolina band and Trotter was chosen as its pianist and arranger; he was credited with originating the famous "tucker" ank5t ' * your * Con style which won Kemp much of his °r ^%Z^ vW*" following. In 1934 Trotter settled in Hollywood. 8 ***** , Johnny Burke, an old friend, was writ- you're from vooDb^ ing songs for Bing Crosby. Trotter in- vited Burke to be his house guest. As fast as Burke wrote songs, Trotter, for the sake of something to do to fill in his idle moments, arranged them. Well, one day, Bing called on Burke and saw the Trotter arrangements. He liked them so much he made a purchase on the spot. When Jimmy Dorsey, then his music director, left the program to go on tour, he chose John Scott Trotter for the post of music director of the Kraft Music Hall.

(played by Ethel Wilson) TOM BRYSON, who for a long time has been Larry's theatrical manager, last year branched out into playwriting, and wrote the play "Blackout" in which Mary Noble scored her first acting success. Tom is a worldly, some- times tough-sounding person, but the Nobles have known him long enough to understand him. (played by Chuck Webster) 32 «^ J/* LARRY NOBLE is famous as one of Broadway's most popular, compelling actors. His career, for a long time a series of satisfying successes, was interrupted for a while by the war. After spend- ing some time in the Coast Guard, Larry has returned to his familiar theatrical haunts to look for a suitable new play. Because he is having a little difficulty in finding just the kind of part he wants, Larry, a high-strung, sensitive man, is becoming a trifle uncertain of himself. Mary has tried anxiously to help her husband in working out his delicate, unusual adjustment problem. (Larry Noble is played by James Meighan) Backstage Wife, Monday through Friday, 4:00 P.M. EST, NBC Conceived and produced by Frank and Anne Hummert 33 Many years ago, wealthy, attractive VIRGINIA LANSING was in a play with Larry Noble. Now a widow, her interest in Larry is not confined to his career; she is waging a subtle campaign to weaken his confidence in himself so that, by consoling him, she can come to mean more in his life than Mary does. She finds her plans hampered by her young, charming sister, IRENE, who lives with her in the Park Avenue apartment she maintains, because Irene has become increas- ingly friendly with both Mary and Larry Noble. (Virginia is Helen Claire; Irene is Andree Wallace) i^Ji CLIFF CALDWELL, handsome young actor rehearsing in Mary's new play, does not realize that his romance with Irene may be ruined by Virginia Lansing's interference. Virginia, who took Irene's first love away from the inexperienced young girl and married him, will not hesitate to upset her sister's life again. (played by Phil Truex) ADA, Virginia's maid, is more of a confidante than a servant, so well schooled in the details of Virginia's somewhat peculiar life that it is possible for her to defy her mistress without danger. This has worked to Irene's advantage; Ada, fond of the girl, often defends her against her vindictive sister.

If it takes the food and stops crying—that's the answer. If it takes the food, or tries to take it, but continues to cry during or after the feeding, it may have colic. That's a very sharp pain in the stomach, caused by swallowing air while eating or by improper burping. Your doctor will have told you to stop in the middle of each feeding, hold the baby at a slight angle over your shoulder and pat him gently on the back until he burps up a large bubble of air. When the burp is a good, effective one, there's no mistaking the sound of it—it's loud, explosive and most unmannerly by grownup standards. You do that twice during each feeding, in the middle and at the end—and it pays to be patient about it. IN spite of the best attention to burp- * ing, however, babies still get colic oc- casionally. Mild cases can be relieved by rubbing the abdomen gently, or by wrapping it in warm flannel. More severe cases—and you can tell those by the fact that the baby continues to cry and is obviously in pain—call for a suppository, which releases the gas pressure. If the baby continues to have pain, your doctor will probably pre- scribe paregoric. Baby specialists say this is one of the most valuable drugs in pediatrics. And, when given under the direction of a doctor, it is definitely not habit-forming. Of course, if the baby isn't hungry and doesn't have colic, but is crying for attention—which you'll know be- cause he'll stop crying as soon as he's picked up—you already have a small problem on your hands. Such babies used to be considered "spoiled," and the ft advice used to be to let them cry it out. They a£nuxi£ That idea is dying out very fast.

BAN/SHES GRAY' 57 That's old fashioned. The cold won't go away any faster and cathartics may do more . harm than the cold. The golden rule in baby care—and Find Love Unchanging this goes for children, too—is never give cathartics without a doctor's ad- vice. And, if you wait for that advice, the chances are your baby will never get any cathartics. Bowel movements are regulated, when necessary, by changes in the diet, not by drugs, as a rule. Most mothers, my doctor says, worry a great deal about constipation and not nearly enough about dysentery or di- arrhoea. These are something to worry about and you should call your doctor as soon as you notice them. They may be caused by bacterial" infection or some organic disturbance. But don't get upset about it. They, might also be caused simply by too much sugar in the diet. AS your baby grows older, there will be many new problems coming up. There will be weaning and toilet train- ing, of course. Here, the same basic rules that apply to feeding apply to these two changes in the baby's life. Never force the baby to give up his bottle and never force the toidey train- ing of a baby, if he objects. The main point about these problems—as about feeding—is not to make a problem out of them. Remember, in weaning a baby, you're taking away from him one of his first pleasures and accomplishments—suck- ing. He's got to be ready to find pleasure and satisfaction in many other ways, before he's ready to give up that one. He's got to be ready physically After long parting. "I'll always love you," you said.

It's been discovered by child psychologists that many children of school age suffer from all kinds of difficulties, can't get along with teachers or the other children, have trouble talking or learning and. frequently, have chronic constipation, because they were forced to the toidey too early. Like everything else, you do this very gradually. If the baby pro- tests, you forget about it for awhile. If it works, it works—if it doesn't, it doesn't. You'll find that the best thing is to treat the whole matter very cas- ually, without placing any undue im- portance on failure, or success. Espe- cially, try not to make a fuss, if the baby soils himself after he's started his training, willingly. Like all mothers, you'll want your baby to be strong and healthy and fear- less. You can play a large part in making him exactly that. But you have to bear in mind, right from the begin- ning, that babies are very helpless, tiny creatures and a certain amount of fear is very natural. You'll just have to Soon an apartment for two.

Here you can help again, by acting perfectly natural about the things that seem to frighten him, by not teasing him about his fear or with the object of his fear, and by just letting him get used to the thing he's frightened of—which he will. However, as your baby grows older and more conscious of the world around him, he meets many new—and to him terrifying things. He doesn't always re- act with fear while he's awake. But he may dream about these things and they may wake him up crying with fright. Contrary to the, idea which was rather, prevalent not so long ago, when a baby cries during the night, the thing to do is go to it and reassure it. Just that familiar presence, your prompt reaction to his call will help to make him less frightened, because it will show him that he's still safe. If .you don't re- assure him, or if you try to make him ashamed in any. way of his perfectly natural fears, he may repress those fears, accumulate them in his little secret self and they'll get all out of shape and proportion. You know, thinking back over Mikey's tiny babyhood, there are a million pitfalls and snags I could write about. But they would all add up to this one thing—that it is important to establish a happy, normal relationship with your baby, from the start. AND that doesn't mean a relationship which makes you sacrifice yourself to every whim and notion of your baby. It means a relationship which gives you %i*>^ pleasure and an opportunity to do all (Sweet the things you want to do, while, at - Fear Why have doubts?

And we resented being labeled "Mexican"—as if it were a bad word—by newspapers and in the schools and by the careless words a gavacho spoke. DEODORANT I shook off these hateful thoughts quickly. This was Ricardo's homecom- ing and nothing should spoil it. We had reached his tiny house by this time. Though we had scarcely spoken a word it was enough for both of us just to be together. And Ricardo couldn't seem to do anything but fill his eyes with these old, familiar sights. His mother— opened the door. "My son—my son " she murmured in her only-slightly accented English. Her hands on his shoulders were tremulous and her cheeks were wet. Beside her my own mama beamed her joy. I HAD always admired Senora Mar- - tinez. A newcomer to this country in middle age, she had forced herself to adapt to American customs and the American tongue, difficult as it had been. She had gone to night school. She kept herself slim and carefully dressed. Her white, gently-waved hair was beautiful against her olive skin. She had been adamant that Ricardo must have a good education no mat- ter what the obstacles—the lack of money—his troubles in school. And she had succeeded. My mama was not so. She was plump, good-natured, but she clung to the old ways and the old tongue. But she, like all the others, rejoiced to see Ricardo back safely and even admired him in his Sergeant's uniform. There had been a time, when Ricardo was captain of the wild Tiger gang, that she had opposed our engagement—but no more. When I mentioned the three soldiers who had come on the train with Ri- cardo, Senora Martinez nodded her head. "That is good," she said simply. "We must not isolate ourselves, if there is a chance to make friends." But there was a question in her eyes, as there was in all of ours, as she looked at her son. Ricardo sprawled out in the easy chair, ruffling the hair of his younger brother, Jose, who stood breathless be- fore his hero. "Overseas it was all so simple. When you work and fight side by side with other men, your nation- ality or your color or what-have-you doesn't seem to matter any more.

We stopped at one stall after an- other, went into one shop after another. There are no sidewalks on Olvera Street—the open store fronts are an invitation to come in and chat and taste and buy. Here were the famous rooms where the beautiful candles of all shapes and sizes hung from their big wheel, slowly turning, dipping into the vats of rainbow colors. Scents of orange and bayberry and rich per- fumes hung like a cloud in the shops. Next door a man would draw a cari- cature of you for fifty cents, or a fortune-teller would read you the fu- ture. But Ricardo and I didn't need to know ours. We were in love. Here—in the center of the street were the stalls with their earth-colored Indian pottery, their renowned blue- glass pitchers and bowls, their woven raffia toy men on toy horses, their gay sombreros and serapes, the comfortable huaraches—sandals—worn by both men and women and very popular - with tourists. "Look at this, Maria," Ricardo mar- veled, stopping at a booth which made up a part of the wall that framed Olvera. "I'd forgotten how wonderful they were." And he handed me the tiny, blown-glass ship, with its spars and lines like spun-silver threads—the whole no bigger than what would hide in the palm of my hand. "That's my home-coming present to you." While he paid for the ship, I held its tiny perfection in my hand-—loving it loving Ricardo—knowing a happiness so exquisite it could hardly be con- tained in my body. From Ricardo to me, with love. From Maria to Ricardo, my life. . . . IT was at that precise moment that I #-. felt the "dark .shadow behind" me. Without turning, without knowing who or what, I felt a shudder of premonition go through me. At this moment, at the height of my joy, I knew fear. It was Ricardo who turned . . . and there was a breath-holding second's pause before he spoke. I glanced over my shoulder and now I recognized the big, bulky man who stood, behind me. "Hello, Dixon." Ricardo clipped the words, but to my surprise there was no undercurrent of antagonism in his voice. "I'm back. How's everything been while I was away?" . "Quiet." Police Sergeant Dixon un- derwrote his meaning with a telling emphasis. "Quiet. And I mean it to stay that way, Ricardo." Sure, quiet— I thought, bitterly with kids being slapped into jail every night of the week! "You can help or you can not, Ricardo," he went on stolidly, "but just see that you behave yourself." I thought surely this would bring forth one of Ricardo's slashing, taunt- ing retorts—but it didn't. And Dixon added in a milder tone: "Heard you were in the Army. Good place for you. A special process keeps Kleenex Hope you made your family proud of you." — LUXURIOUSLY SOFT— Ricardo grinned.

The big man was solid and implacable. "You Mexi- cans behave yourselves——keep the pa- chucas"—glancing at me "in line and that's all there is to it." He walked away, his abrupt ending in keeping with his own blunt nature. "You Mexicans—pachucas—" A wave of anger swept over me and I felt, rather than saw, the hardness stiffen Ricardo's face until it looked almost as sullen as the face of the boy I used Help Nature shed beauty-concealing "Top Skin" to know, before he went into the Army. "See, Ricardo?" I told him in a low voice. "It's just the same, it hasn't changed. We're always the ones to be blamed." T IKE Sergeant Dixon had blamed us -^before. Like the way newspaper headlines had screamed at us before. Like the way all gavachos looked down on us, feared us, blamed us. "I see." Ricardo's mouth showed a tense white line about it. His hand closed tightly on my arm. "Maria— meant it when I said I'd like to talk to Dixon. I—maybe I could make him see that kids wearing zoot suits, drapes —girls dressing up so that they're called pachucas—that doesn't mean they're bad. I had hopes for Dixon, because he's honest, at least. He tries to be fair. But he only sees the result, never the cause behind it. He's in a position to help if he would—if he could be made to understand." We were both silent, then, remem- bering. Remembering the "zoot suit riots." They had been a part of the beginnings of the war for us—part of the jittery, war-born confusion.

And we were very young, lovelier-looking complexion. very full of life, with no outlet for our energies. There were no playgrounds, or evening gymnasiums, or clubs, for us. They were for the "white" children.

And our poor folks they couldn't 62 — l help us. They were timid and unsure in a world that was new to them, trying to speak a language they didn't know well, afraid to speak up for us. In short, cut off from the normal life of Los Angeles, we were lumped together as "Mexicans"—not only lumped to- gether, but banded together for self- protection and to maintain our fierce pride. And from there it was only a step to breaking up into gangs. We had to do something to make ourselves felt —to be a power in the community, and if we couldn't be a power for good, we'd be a power for bad! At least, that was what happened to some of the gangs, that started out as harmless rivals. Some of them never did go any farther than that. But some did. Now that I'm older, and I have to dress conservatively for my job, I can see that our clothes were crazy. But we wore them because they set us apart, made us conspicuous—no one could overlook us in those clothes! High black bobby-sox, with saddle ox- fords. Short black skirts, tight black sweaters. Tall pompadours, with hair cascading to our shoulders in back. And the boys wore the drape shape—the long suit coats with the big pockets and exaggerated padding in the shoulders, watch chains that looped absurdly al- most to their knees, full trousers with leg bottoms so tight they could not be pulled on or off without removing their shoes. Pork pie hats. It started out just fun. It still was. Dressing up. Kids all over the country were doing it. But notoriety made the costume a badge of dishonor for us.

Police became uneasy. It was much less trouble for them to round up a whole gang and take it to juvenile court, rather than stop and argue—or get them a clubhouse. Rumors started . . . stories grew that armed bands were terrorizing dance halls and cafes, pick- ing on soldiers and sailors in uniform. Squad cars prowled the streets at night and tension mounted over the district.

Don't tell me that this man we just saw is married to the woman you saw at the Breakfast— "Of course not!" She spoke vehe- mently, because, to be utterly truthful, she had been imagining just that. "It was just the similarity in names that made me think of her. Besides, it was touching—the way she spoke of her hus- band on the program. Everyone laughed when she told Mr. Breneman that he was a traveling salesman, and she said, very proudly, that although she knew the reputation traveling salesmen were supposed to have, her husband was an exception. She said, too, that he liked plain, natural, home-type girls. I thought for a moment that she was going to refuse the make-up kit. Didn't you see her?" "No," said Ken. He did not add, "I was too busy thinking about you," but he might as well have, because he was looking down at her so intently that Dorothy turned her own eyes away. "About Jimmy," she said abruptly. "Did you sail with him very long? And were you in Manila when he was there?" IT WAS astonishing how quickly the time passed.

It's after three o'clock— "I know, but we've time for a pic- ture." He led her into the little cur- tained booth. The first picture turned out badly. It showed them sitting stiffly side by side, Dorothy looking scared, Ken wooden- faced and grim. Dorothy took one look IOVEIY POWERS MODELS at it and laughed. "Oh, Ken, that's ter- rible! Let's take another and really smile, this time!" She moved closer to him, rested her head back against his shoulder. Ken caught his breath, then made himself put his arm around her casually. She was so close that he could feel her breathing, smell the fragrance of her hair. "Go ahead," she urged, smiling M into the machine. "Put the dime in." He leaned forward and dropped the coin. What happened next happened 3S»* without his will; it was as natural as lifting his face to the first sun in spring. His lips closed over Dorothy's; his arm drew her closer. For a blissful moment her mouth was consenting, her body warm and relaxed against him. Then she stiffened, drew back. "That wasn't fair," she said coldly. His heart was hammering so that he could hardly talk. "I'm sorry.— I couldn't help it. Honest, I couldn't She stepped out of the booth. Ken followed, caught up with her. Her eyes were very bright; she looked angry, and she looked ready to cry. "You didn't understand. I didn't mean—I was just being friendly." "I know," he said miserably. "I—it's just that you're so darn' sweet, and I'm so darn' lonesome." Her mouth tightened. "That isn't very flattering to me, either." "I mean we're both in the same boat. We both need somebody to help us over a hurdle, see?" "No," she said frigidly, "I don't see." He reached for her hand. She pulled away and started down the path.

"Don't I want Julia to be happy?" she asked herself over and over again. And, always, she got the same answer, "Yes—but I love John, too—love him so much, so much!" The day wore wearily on. 'T'HAT night when Julia and Linda ate -*- dinner in the little blue-papered din- ingroom, they didn't chatter about radio and the neighborhood news the way they usually did. They ate in almost complete silence—a silence uneasy with waiting. And when the telephone call came, they both started up—as if the brrring were the signal for which they had been waiting. Linda sat back in her chair when Julia went to the phone, and listened helplessly to the conversation—Julia's words answering John's. Before Julia hung up Linda knew that tonight Julia was going out with John—alone. Julia's voice was half-apologetic as she explained John's call, but she could not completely keep down the ex- citement she felt. "Linda, darling—John says it's such a beautiful night he'd like to take a long walk along the river. You don't mind, You ought do you? to get to (BmRSHBMMHHn bed early, anyway—you seem tired to me."

But this day she didn't work so feverishly. Instead she moved slowly through the house, com- pletely overwhelmed in depression. For the first time in her life she knew the meaning of complete despair, and it was almost unbearable. Then, startlingly, John came—stop- ped at the little ivy-covered house just before Julia was due home. Linda opened the door and stood looking at him without speaking. "Linda?" John ask.ed uncertainly, searching for the person whom he could not see. "Yes, John," Linda said softly. ' ;r!ome in." IJE followed her into the livingroom *•* and sat in the big chair close to the piano as he had on that other day when she had played for him, when she had soothed him and given him encourage- ment about his new job in the photog- raphy shop. That day, she had dared to hope that John would belong to her. Today, she knew that he was always Julia's. "Play for me again—will you, Linda?" he asked. She sat down and began to play— melancholy little tune that filled the room with a strange sadness. She stop- ped abruptly in the middle of a chord. John's face was puzzled. "The mood of my music is revealing my heart," she thought. Nice going, Mr. T.... but can fingers "I can't play today," she explained. "I haven't been sleeping very well."

And then he brushed away that evenin'j as if it were a mist clouding the real issue in their lives. "Linda," he said firmly, "I'm going to tell you some- thing—something important." Linda's heart beat until she was afraid he could hear it across the room. "Look, John," she said, "I want you to come here a minute.

She stepped out of his way, and drew him back to the piano.

"And I don't want to talk about it with you now. Not until I know what I'm going to do." 1 " a "Julia asked me not to discuss it with you just yet," John admitted, "but I find that I want to.

Some way, I'll find a way to do all the things I want to do." Linda's voice broke in spite of her efforts. John started toward her and there was pity in his face—pity and tender- ness. She was ashamed that she had let him feel the weakness in her— weakness which he did not know in himself even with a handicap far more serious than any of her troubles. And just then Julia came in. She stood for a minute in the doorway, looking at them. Her strange, closed-in mood of this morning was gone. She was smiling and gay, and she said, "Hi," as she walked toward them. THAKING the groceries out of Julia's -" arms Linda started for the kitchen so that the other two could be alone, together. "You'll stay for dinner with us, won't you, John?" she said over her shoulder. "Not tonight, Linda, thanks," he answered, turning his face toward her voice. "I have a lot of things to do at home." Linda didn't come back to them until she heard them walk into the hall to the front door. When she went in to say goodbye to John, he and Julia didn't see her. They were talking intently. And when she approached them, she heard John say, "Then you'll see Dr. Phillips about her right this week?" Julia started to speak, then saw Linda and interrupted their conversa- keep your tion abruptly.

"Just a minute and I'll let you talk to Julia," Linda evaded. John laughed. "I'm quite sure Julia will approve." "Then, of course—do come," Linda urged.

She excused herself, impatient to act BESTFORM on the sudden thought. But when she said that she was going to bed, John Girdles turned his face toward her curiously, and Julia frowned. "But, dear," Julia said, "we have a Brassieres guest. Aren't you feeling well?" "Not very," Linda apologized, "I have All-in-ones a headache and I can't be much fun. I'll go sleep it off." She tried to keep her voice light—gay. John said, "Goodnight, Linda. If I stop by tomorrow, will you play for me?" "Tomorrow we have that appoint- ment, John," Julia interrupted quickly.

I've tried to be gen- '026... erous and tolerant, but no mother could wm^ Joe corned stand for what you're doing to my son. I don't ever want to see or hear of you again." At the door of the apartment she turned, hoping Carol would call after her, break that terrible, stony silence. But Carol was still sitting where she'd left her, her shoulders hunched, her head bent, the thumb of her right hand slowly rubbing the third finger of her left—where there was no longer a wedding ring. The truth was, of course, that Carol was sick—not in her body, but in her mind. Sometime during her collapse after the news came of Larry's death, it had happened. She had faced the reality of her loss, and found it so tragic that instinctively her mind had turned away. The Carol who had been Larry's wife was gone now. She had retreated into some hidden inner chamber of her heart, and had quietly shut the door on the truth. Her refusal to mention Larry's name, her hiding of his picture and letters, her naked wedding-ring finger—all these were of a piece with the way she was living. For her, Larry had never existed. He was only a name. Hester's accusations had been like brutal assaults on the locked door of her mind, and she had cowered behind it, afraid that it would fly open and let in the blinding light of reality. But it had held. Hester was not the one who was strong enough to break it down. AFTEB that quarrel, if Hester met -^*- Carol on the street she looked the other way; and Peter Black, who was a kind-hearted man, but pretty much under Hester's thumb, followed her lead.

Jim's hand, raising the lemonade glass to his lips, went very still. "She's —married?" he whispered. Married then that would explain everything; it would prove that with all her loveli- ness she was only a flirt, a cheat. "Oh, not any longer," Amy ex- claimed. "She was—but Larry was killed in France, over a year ago." Slowly, Jim set the glass down again. Relief had made him weak. He still didn't understand, but it was better to be puzzled than to have that other ex- planation. "She lives in the Colonial Apart- ments, over on Elm Street," Amy said helpfully. "Only I think she's away on her vacation right now." "I see." Jim chewed at his lower lip, thinking.

Hester's eyes went cold and wary, and she made a move to close the door. "I'm sorry," she said, "but that is no recommendation to me. My daughter- in-law and I are not on good terms." "Oh—I didn't know that," Jim said quickly. "Couldn't you tell me why? You see," he rushed on before she could answer, "I met Carol two weeks ago, at the start of her vacation.
