Y. * » * The most exciting new band I have heard recently will probably never play a one night stand or an engagement at the N. Y. Paramount. It is the Fort Dix, N. J., army swing unit. It was organized by private Herbie Fields, who used to play with Ray- mond Scott before he was conscripted. Herbie rounded up a score of former swing stars, now working for $21 a month, and they play every Sunday on MBS' "This is Fort Dix" broadcasts. THE JUKE BOX GENT IF Vaughn Monroe hadn't decided one day to put his trumpet in the background and rely more on his re- sponsive vocal chords for a living, 1941 might well go down in music annals as the year that didn't develop a single new dance band sensation. As a mediocre trumpeter employed by equally mediocre orchestras, the tall, powerful Ohioan was tabbed just another young man with a horn. Then he opened his mouth wide instead of puckering it, and amazing things re- sulted. Many better known leaders are going to begin wishing this new rival had kept his tunes on his trumpet, because Vaughn is a sure bet to pass them in the swing sweep- stakes. The joyous juke box industry right- fully takes full credit. "Gosh, if it wasn't for that guy and Jimmy Dorsey," one big record dealer told me, "business would be brutal." "Every time a new Monroe platter comes out," a well-known director of a radio station recorded program stated, "we wear out three sides in two weeks."

A good governess, too, Nora thought. Certainly Gregory Pear- son had nothing but praise for the way in which she was bringing up his motherless little daughter. Not that this was ever anything but a pleasant task. Penelope was a delightful child, so like Joan had been at twelve that it was the most natural thing in the world for Mother Nora to give her the loving guidance she could no longer offer Joan, and Penelope returned her affection as whole-heartedly as Joan would have done. It seemed almost as though Fate had tried to make up for parting her from her own home and children by leading her to the Pearson household where she found a ready-made family needing and grateful for the wise, kindly help she brought them.

ONLY two members of Mother Nora's new "family" knew her real identity—Gregory Pearson and his confidential secretary, Michael Windgate. She had felt that it was Mr. Pearson's right to know everything about her since he was placing Penelope's education and develop- ment in her hands. She had never regretted sharing this confidence; in fact she had come to be glad that Michael knew her secret, for it was through Michael that she had the first word of her family since she had walked out of their father's house and out of their lives. Nora counted two more flights. Below her, on the floor she had just passed, a door slammed angrily and a man's voice rasping with irritation sounded through the thin walls. "Leave me alone, will ya? I tell ya, I didn't go nowhere." Nora shivered. Were Barbara and Alex in such bitter dispute, too, quarreling because there was no

All in one continuous motion I was up, slipping on the travel coat I had worn, snatching up my hat and gloves. "Some kind of harm has happened to him," I cried. I flew out into the street and into a cab or bus, I cannot remember which. I knew the name of Philip's company and found the office. I remember the office door opening as I ran toward it, hat still in my hand, hair windblown. A manager's name was lettered on the door. Robert Davis. I asked to see him at once. The attendant looked embarrassed. I felt embarrassment elec- trify and silence the entire office. They thought me an inamorata of his and wondered what they should do. While I stood, the tension within me gathering into a sharp, painful knot, he came to his door. He stood there, tall, sinewy, dark, with strong features and a forbid- ding glare. Neither of us spoke. Dislike and distrust flared between us so strongly as to be almost a physical exchange. With an abrupt gesture, he stepped aside and mo- tioned me into his office. The door slammed shut and he swerved to face me, indicating with a contemptu- ous gesture a chair for me to sit in.

Now—in these special photographs see more of your favorite people just as they really are. Meet Peggy, Father and Mother Young, scatterbrained Edie and handsome Carter Trent

PEGGY YOUNG, left, is eighteen years old. She has a smile like sunlight, eyes of warm, living blue, flowing blonde hair. You look at Peggy and you know she loves life. You know she

is getting a kick out of being young and in love. Now that Carter Trent has come into her life, even Pepper's exasperating teasing no longer bothers her. She has had lots of boy friends. A girl like Peggy would. But Carter is the first serious love of her life. She met Carter, a young Private, at an Army dance. She wasn't attracted to him at first, but slowly grew to love him. They became engaged. Peggy has the approval of her family, who like Carter, but the big problem is whether Carter's family will approve of her. She's on her way to meet the wealthy Trent family now, and everything in her life hinges on their liking her. Peggy has no pre-

tensions, she is essentially a simple girl, adores her father, wants to be like her mother. Carter will make a perfect husband, if things go well. (Played by Betty Wragge)

I CARTER TRENT (above) is the only son of the very socially prominent Mr. and Mrs. Trent I of Chicago. Mr. Trent wanted his son to go into business, but Carter joined the Army and was stationed at Camp Elmwood, where he met H Peggy and fell in love with her at first sight. Carter's parents are the domineering kind and expect him to marry a girl in his own social set. The trouble ahead with his family will be I a really difficult test of Carter's love for Peggy.

MARY YOUNG S whole life is devoted to her husband and children. Without her the Young family could not surv.ve She instinctively knows what is right for Sam, Peggy and Pepper. In her home, all of them are equal, all of them are fed by her love and understanding. Mrs. Young seldom thinks of herself. When she unexpectedly inherited $20,000, she insisted that her husband take it for business purposes. When Sam lost h,s home and business and the Youngs were forced to move to a poorer section of town, Mrs. Young took that calmly and set up a "home bakery" of her own in order to keep the family going. Not only do the members of Mrs. Young s own family seek her help, but the poor and downtrodden gravitate toward her. She once befr.endcd an escaped convict, shielding him against the wrath of the town when he was accused Of stealing money from her own husband! Mrs. Young likes Peggy's new boy friend, Carter Trent, and is domg all she can to foster the romance and fix things so that Carter's family will consent to their marriage. 24 (Played by Marion Barney) SAMUEL YOUNG is a typical American, honest, practical, tolerant. When you first met him, he owned his own home in Elmwood and had a steady job. He resigned this job, mortgaged his home, opened a factory with Curtis Bradley, and successfully ran for Mayor against Pete Nickerson, a crooked politician. Then a flood destroyed the Bradley-Young plant. Curt Bradley was badly hurt, his mind was impaired and he disappeared. Poverty came to the Youngs, until Pete Nickerson, dying, turned his estate over to Sam to handle, rewarding him for this trust with property. Sam started a real estate business with the help of his son, Pepper, and when Curt Bradley returned, well but destitute, Sam magnanimously took him into the new business. They built tourist camps and a hotel on the property, tried to get backing for their business, but deal after deal fell through. Now things Look bad for Sam, but his courage and honesty should see him through. (Played by Thomas Chalmers)

THE apartment Ralph Edwards lives in is a half-man, half-woman affair with respect to furniture. The reason is that it was originally occupied by three bachelor announcers—Mel Allen, Andre Baruch, and Ralph. Then Mel Allen brought his mother and father to New York and moved out. Andre married singer Bea Wain and moved out. Now Ralph Edwards lives there with his bride of a year and a half. Some of the plain masculine furniture that the boys bought still remains. But Barbara Edwards has eased out most of it and substituted her own daintier, more feminine pieces. Many of these are genuine antiques—some of them family heirlooms, some pieces she has picked up in shops in upper New York State and Connecticut.

as though compelling himself to remember something out of a long dead past, "You needn't worry about Dick, Nora—needn't worry about him any more. I'll take care of everything." "Thank you, Cyril." She started to leave then, but he stopped her. "You've been seeing the children, haven't you?" "Barbara and Joan," she answered gently. "They seemed to need me Barbara especially." "I should have realized that, when Barbara refused to come home, and when Joan told me how Alex had pulled himself together. I've been thinking of giving him a job in the office. He and Dick could start in together." _ His voice held a wistful note as though he were conscious not only of his previous neglect of his family but also of the fact that with Juliet gone he would need their companionship, and he looked at Nora, pleading silently for her sympathy. But before she could answer, there came the un- mistakable click of Juliet's heels on the staircase, and instantly he was again oblivious of Nora's presence. He leaned forward in his chair, his eyes no longer dull but alight with hope. The footsteps continued determinedly across the hall. Then came the soft faint thud that meant the closing of the outer door and a moment later the roar of a taxi getting under way.

L_ were leading up to. But it wasn't until they had finished eating that there was an answer to her questions, for it wasn't until then, while they sat with coffee before them, that he astounded her by asking her to marry him after Juliet secured her divorce. "I've been thinking things over, Nora," he said, "and I know that I made a mistake in marrying Juliet, in ever asking you for a divorce. And I want you to marry me when I am free again." Shocked indignation overwhelmed her. She wouldn't marry him again— she couldn't—it was outrageous for him to assume that she might even think of it. And then, to her surprise, she found that she was thinking of it —and very seriously. Thinking what it would mean to have her own home, and her children in that home. Think- ing of the children and wondering whether remarriage might be best for them, whether she ought to consider it for their sake. Muddled, disordered, hurried thinking—but when at last she spoke, instead of refusing him as at first she had intended to do, she said slowly, "I don't know, Cyril. It's too big a question to decide at once. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to give you an answer."

SHE COULD see that Cyril was surprised and annoyed, but he answered with what for him was great patience, "Very well, Nora. Think it over, of course, if you feel that you need to." Thinking it over, Nora reflected hours later as she lay in bed and stared into the darkness above her, was a longer, more difficult process than she had expected it to be. She had believed that her decision to give Cyril a divorce and the later decision to leave the children to his care involved more problems than she could ever solve; now she was beginning to realize that the prospect of remarrying him involved just as many and just as complicated factors.

The children. In the final analysis they were the ones—the only ones who counted. It was their welfare and happiness she had to consider now, just as she had in the past. The arguments which had been whirling through her mind ever since dinner time were unimportant, meaningless beside the vital question: Would remarriage be best for the children? That question was still unanswered when dawn drove the blackness out of her room and filled it with soft gray light. At times she was ready to believe that a reunited home was the best, the only thing for them—then there would be the uneasy doubt that perhaps this was only wishful thinking. She had told Cyril that she couldn't give him an answer at once; now she began to feel that she could never give him one. The children would have to decide for her—she couldn't decide alone!

AS SOON as she finished breakfast »» next morning, she telephoned Barbara then Dick and Joan. She didn't tell them what was in her mind, but asked them to come to see her that afternoon. Is there an "Age of Romance" for a Woman's Hands? They came trooping in shortly after lunch.

They wanted their parents to marry again. Nora had told Cyril that she would give him his answer at his home that afternoon, and as soon as the children left she went back to her room to dress.

All the way up Fifth Avenue in the taxi she tried to convince herself that her excitement was only relief from the long hours of doubt and question- ing, but by the time she reached the house she knew this wasn't the case at all. She would have accepted the children's wish if they had decided the other way, but that other decision would have never brought her this sharp, sweet happiness, that filled her now. The servant who opened the door was strange to her and for a moment she thought he was being stupid or inefficient when he told her that Cyril wasn't at home. But the man was positive. Mr. Worthington had left early in the morning by plane on a business trip.

NORA'S bright confidence melted, leaving her more angry than she had been in years. This was monstrous of Cyril, really inexcusable. No matter what business had called him out of town he should have gotten in touch with her somehow, even if it was only a hurried telegram from the airport. He should have known how hurt she would be; should have prevented that hurt, not left her to arrive at his house and stand in his hallway like a beggar. "Would you care to leave a message?" the man—servant asked. "No—yes—no " what kind of message could a woman leave her former husband in such a situation as this?— From somewhere back in the house a telephone bell rang.

said. No word of Joan or of Dick. Perhaps they didn't want her. Perhaps it was only Barbara, with her more mature understanding, who sensed her mother's loneliness and wanted to ease it. But when she reached their apartment on Christmas day, they were all there. Dick and Joan and Michael. And Cyril was there too. That was the KEPT LOVELY WITH incredible thing—that Cyril should be there as though this were an ordinary Christmas, as though they had spent CUTEX OILY CUTICLE REMOVER every Christmas with the children and would continue to spend them together world without end. Well, if he could pretend that that was the way it was, so could Nora—for a few hours at least. And she would enjoy those hours there would be no pretense about that. No matter what the past had held, no matter what the future might bring she was with the children she loved and nothing could spoil that joy.

IT was Cyril who brought up the past. They had finished dinner, a delicious, beautifully managed dinner in spite of the fact that it was Bar- bara's first attempt at a meal of such proportions, and were sipping the fine old brandy which was C" ril's own contribution to the meal when he rose to his feet and asked permission to speak. Nora tensed with alarm, then quickly stifled it. The day had been so pleasant; surely Cyril wouldn't do or say anything to spoil things now. As if he had been reading her mind he smiled at her half in assurance, half in pleading, then speaking to the entire group gathered around the table he said, "I can't tell you how much it has meant to me, having all of you around me again, as a family, as you used to be on Christmas Day. We had many Christmases like this when you children were little and I know how happy you were then, as your mother and I were." He paused, then went on as though he was finding speech difficult.

Nora felt a quick sting of tears against her eyelids. She knew what it must be costing him to make this admission and she couldn't keep down a sharp feeling of compassion for him.

Barbara has substituted her own rug, a handsome new break front, antique end tables and lamps on either side of the divan, and a coffee table made by her grandfather. But when you step into the sitting room, you see on one side the very practical day bed and radio that belonged to the boys—and on the other side the dainty drop leaf table, the rocking chair that any man would feel a perfect fool to sit in, and a Steuben glass bowl and two lamps that no man in the world would select. The bedroom furniture is held over from the masculine era. "Some day we'll move it into a guest room in the country house we plan to have," Barbara tells you confidentially. "Then I'll have my own dressing table —with ruffles!" Since Ralph's program, Truth and Consequences, heard at 8:30 P. M., E.D.S.T., Saturdays over NBC-Red, has been traveling for theater appearances, the Edwardses haven't had much chance at the tranquil home life they prefer. But when they're in New York, they usually get up around ten and have a leisurely breakfast on a card table. Barbara has a maid to do most of the housework, but break- fasts she does herself. Now that Ralph has an office of his own, his work seldom intrudes in his home. Except Saturday mornings. Then the agency man comes to breakfast.

And then it was like a dream. Skeeter pedalled along the dusky road, Lynn on the handlebars, leaning back against him. Her hair was ruffled by the wind and the sweet smell of her made him a little dizzy. Her hands, close to his on the handlebars, sent waves of thrills through him.

He was afraid he might say too much, might make her laugh at him. He was glad the town bell began tolling ^ouncj America Loves midnight. It was late. He had to get Lynn home. He helped her down from the wall. Again, he was aware of her closeness, her sweetness. His arms ached to hold her to him. He let her go. "Home is a good place," Lynn whispered. Then, so low he almost didn't hear, "But, you know where I'd rather be going? To that land of little people and tinkling bells— All that Spring, Skeeter's head was full of Lynn. He worked very hard at the training camp. He spent his evenings alone in his room, writing long letters to Lynn. He never sent them. He poured out his heart in those letters, he dared hope, dared make plans that included her. But Lynn never saw them. The letters she got were humdrum affairs, about camp routine, the weather, things like that. Things any man might write to anybody. Skeeter felt he had to wait. He wanted to make sure he had something to offer her, something besides himself in the role of a clown. He wanted to accomplish something, make a little money so he could settle down and do agricultural research, which was what he'd studied for. He wanted to show Lynn—and himself that he could do something besides make people laugh.

THE training ended and the team ' went East for the opening of the baseball season. For three weeks, Skeeter sat in the dugout, waiting for his chance. And then, in the seventh inning of their last game in New York, it came. "Skeeter!" Mr. Lane was calling him. Skeeter jumped up, "Okay, get in there, Russell," Mr. Lane said. "Don't let them get away from us. The game's already in the bag. Just hold the ground, that's all." "Hold the ground?" Skeeter was feeling good. "Mr. Lane, I'm going to shut out the best they've got unless I break an arm." Lane patted his shoulder. "Don't worry about the game. We're too far in the lead for them to catch up now. Just go in there and be yourself." "Be myself?" sure," said. "Lighten "Sure, Lane • Dancing by moonlight, "reviewing the the game up a bit.

But he didn't fire me and before a month had passed, we were working on original songs together. I was never frightened when he was at the piano. Then, of course, we discovered that we liked each other. In fact, we loved each other. We decided to get married. Think back on your own first year of marriage. Remember all those things that used to drive you wild? The way he read the paper at the breakfast table. The way he left his clothes all over the place for you to pick up. The casual way he dropped ashes in his coffee cup—what a mess! That was the bad year of getting adjusted to each other. Sometimes you felt you had married a complete stranger. That's when you said, "I've had as much of this as I can stand. I'm through!" It was no different for us.

I REMEMBER I used to get so mad I ' would flounce out of the house. I'd get so mad I'd throw things. Don't smile. If you just think back, I'll bet you'll remember you felt the same way.

She Scorned the Neighbors Who Loved Her

WHEN city-bred Christine Lawson settled down in Oakdale she detested the straight-laced traditions, the prying eyes of this

dreary town. Why, she asked, must everyone know what she eats, how she lives, what she does? Her good-natured neighbors were ready to accept her, but they were small town folk and she snubbed their

offered friendship. But disaster was inevitably hers . . . and when death threatened to crush her entire world, how did those neighbors

answer her frenzied call ? What did they say to the woman who ridiculed their most sacred customs. And how did Christine Lawson

painfully learn that the love of a neighbor is the greatest asset a man or woman possesses? Don't miss "LOVE THY NEIGHBOR" a stirring, meaningful, and true story, combining heart-warming devotion and heartless

bigotry. Read it today in the September TRUE ROMANCES Magazine, and thrill to the heroic proportions of small-town simplicity

She made up her mind in advance that she could never learn to like her neighbors in Oakdale.
