For instance, a person walking in a hospital corridor sounds as if he were walking with heavy shoes on a hollow board- walk.

In general, footsteps sound as if they were produced by some one hitting a hollow wooden box with a stick. -Celia Kremer, Columbus, Ind.

"Bob and I have known each other for two years," she said. "We've danced together, gone to movies, visited friends -in fact, among our friends it's understood that we `go together.' When he takes me home, he kisses me good night. But-well, he hasn't ever spoken to me about getting married. What can I do about it ?" I looked at her.

JULY, 1940 11 ITRIED not to love Ron Davis. From every possible point of view, anything between us was folly. And, just before I met him, love had wounded me so badly that I had sworn to forget it, throw myself so deeply into my job that I could think of nothing else. There again, luck was against me -because almost immediately my job became Ron himself. You've never heard me on the air -and yet, in a way, you have. You've never heard my voice, but many times you've listened to the words I put into the mouths of other people. I'm a writer! I write what we call the continuity for radio programs.

A RADIO MIRROR NOVELETTE

LATE on that frosty November afternoon, I realized suddenly how tired I was. All day long, I'd been forcing my personal problems into the background, pushing them aside so that I could attend to my work of visiting and caring for the sick. Now, with my calls out of the way, they came crowding in on me, demanding my attention. Without being fully conscious of what I was doing, I got into my car and headed for home. When I turned into the driveway, the house was dark. For a moment, my heart was in a panic. Where was Tom? Then I remembered. Tom was back. Everything was going to be all right. We'd found Tom in Chicago, in jail, but that was over now. He was back. Safe. Thanks to Stur Wolf, he had a job at the Country Club and there was nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about, nothing to worry about. I sat there in the car, telling myself this. But I couldn't believe it. Deep down inside me, beyond a mother's natural optimism for her son, I knew Tom wasn't safe. There were too many things nagging at him, pulling him deeper and deeper into a trap. A job with no future. Years of fu- tility and struggle. For what? And, on the other hand, there was Trudy Reynolds, offering the easy way out with her money and social position. Had I been wrong in opposing their marriage? If I hadn't been with Tom in Chicago, they might have gone through with the elopement. Tom would be married now.

As we both stepped into

the living room, I could feel Louise stiffen beside me.

He would have money, he would have the back- ing of his father -in -law, E. Arthur Reynolds, his future would be secure. But would it? No, I couldn't believe that. I couldn't trust Tom's feeling for Trudy. I didn't believe it was love. He was fascinated. Yes. And why shouldn't he be? Trudy was lovely. She had money and fine clothes and could do anything she wanted. But I didn't trust Trudy. She was spoiled. All her life, she had had only to ask for a thing and she got it. But she hadn't got Tom. And I was afraid that Trudy was not so much in love with Tom as intrigued by her inability to get him. It was a game to her. Only, to me, his mother, Tom's happiness was no plaything. My thoughts began to get 'muddled. I almost felt like crying -a thing I haven't done for years, mainly because I haven't had time. Wanting to cry made me angry with myself. I didn't want to go into the empty house, so I backed out of the driveway and turned the car toward the Falls. The street lamps were coming on and Main Street looked serene and friendly in the deepen- ing twilight. I passed Judge Leverett and Louise on the street and waved to them. I knew they expected me to stop and talk because I haven't seen them since we returned from Chicago, but I wasn't in the mood for them just then. I drove on out of town. Near the Falls, my headlights picked out a lonely figure trudging along the road. I knew it was Stur Wolf from the way he walked, with his hands deep in his pockets and his shoulders hunched up. I slowed down beside him. "Want a lift ?" I asked. Stur's smile was wide and sudden, as though it had been startled out of him. He got in beside me. I turned off the highway and down the little road to the Falls. A fresh, young moon had come up and was touching the long icicles that hung from the rocky ledge down which the Falls

"You're not going to let Retta Farrell cheat you out of this chance, are you ?" Stur prodded mercilessly. "No," I said firmly. If I could have been just half as sure in my own mind as I sounded! Because the trustees must choose between myself and Edna Parker. Oh, it sounded simple enough. Which would do the better job, myself, Kate Hopkins, or the other nurse, Edna Parker? Without conceit, I felt there was only one answer... . But, would the trustees decide on merit alone, or would personal prejudices, so strong and so bitter in small towns, be more persuasive than logic? Edna Parker is a good nurse. I'm not more capable in supplying the needs of the sick. It's just that she fails to understand people. I'm afraid Edna's a bit of a snob. She makes the mistake of looking down on poor helpless people and they instinctively feel and resent it. So, logically I should become Su- pervisor of the Visiting Nurses' Ser- vice, have the money to send Tom to school, have more time to see Stur, if he should want my company, more time to lift the bitter weight

For twenty -six years she had carried a bitter grudge against me. Retta had wanted to marry Bill Hopkins, and instead he had married me. A simple story and a devastating one. Twenty -six years Retta Far- rell had waited to hurt me. And at last she had her opportunity. For Retta, with the money her husband left her was an influence in Forest Falls. The trustees were bound to listen carefully when Retta spoke. And Retta was already speaking, openly, without hesitation, in favor of Edna Parker as the new Super- visor. Esther Greenlee, my best friend, had told me that. "We're all on your side," Stur said, breaking into the middle of my thoughts. "So stop worrying.

Comforting thought to carry with me in the days of torment ahead, mercifully hidden from me now. THE days before Christmas passed swiftly. My mind was easy about Tom.

But she said nothing, because it was sweet of Peggy to spend ,so much time with her brother; and it helped Mother O'Neill, too, to have Peggy there with the house always so full of people. She wondered, though, if all this company was actually good for Danny. Sometimes when she put him to bed around nine o'clock, he seemed irritable and unlike himself. Perhaps it would have been better to leave him a while longer in the hospital. At home, she could not deny him this bit of gaiety and company.

(Continued on page 72) JULY, 1940 29 FROM the first moment she met him, Helen Trent felt the fascina-. tion of Drew Sinclair, famous Hollywood producer-and tried to resist it. For Drew was not only her employer, he was married. But the treachery of Helen's co -workers, who accused her of deliberately sabotaging the production of a motion picture, brought Drew and Helen closer together when Helen proved her innocence. Slowly their friendship became deeper, and when Drew's most expensive production, one on which Helen had designed the costumes, was a failure he came to her for comfort. On the return of Drew's wife, Sandra, from a luxuri- ous yacht cruise, Drew and Helen met the yacht some miles off shore. Helen, waiting on the deck, heard a shot and ran below to find Drew standing over the dead body of a man named Petrolov. Drew was charged with the murder of his wife's lover, was tried, and sen- tenced to death. But Helen's feminine intuition led her to the real murderer, and her quick action was able to save Drew. Meanwhile, his wife had divorced him, and Drew and Helen, realizing their love, were preparing to marry when Helen was accused by a woman calling herself Mrs. Dunlap of being the mother of a child Mrs. Dunlap had cared for since eight years before. Helen sent the woman away, and explained to Drew that her own child from a previous marriage had died soon after its birth 404, in Chicago, but Chicago records failed to reveal any death certificate for the baby, and Drew, fearing scandal, insisted that Helen pay Mrs. Dunlap off and get rid of her. Helen refused, and in the quarrel that followed she broke off her engagement. Then, in desperation, she went to see Gilbert Whitney, Mrs. Dunlap's lawyer, hoping to persuade him that Mrs. Dunlap was a fraud.

GILBERT WHITNEY listened to Helen with such intensity that he seemed to be listening not only to her words, but to her thoughts, her motives, her emotions -to all the things she left unsaid. When she had finished, he said courteously: "You are part of me," she said, "part "I'm glad to hear your side of the story, Mrs. Trent, but I'm afraid of my heart, part of my flesh!" And yet you don't quite understand the situation.

It isn't unromantic: it's common sense. And while we are on the subject of what is "romantic" and what isn't -you probably think it's very unromantic for a girl to do the proposing. Probably it is. But romance is a doubtful benefit, and a girl who over- estimates its value will not be happy very long in her marriage-no matter how romantic the courtship has been. The city of Reno knows women who demand romance -knows them very well. They are frequent visitors. Al- ways in search of the unattainable, they go from husband to husband, always disillusioned, always hoping to meet and marry the knight in shining white armor-who turns out, once the honeymoon is over, to be only another mere man. They have their romance Those upsetting "scenes" -those long-drawn -out conflicts about eating-do not -frequently. But are they happy? have to happen.

Assuming that I have, you are probably wondering if there is any particular time or place for the proposal. And the answer is_ set the stage. Don't plan in DON'Tadvance. Haven't I said before that the moment when a young couple decide to marry should be spontaneous, honest, without subtlety? I can't tell you when the right moment is, any more than I can tell you the moment when you fall in love. I can only say that you will recognize it instinctively, just as you recognize the fact that you're in love. It will come -the precise instant when it will be as natural as breathing to tell him that you love him, and to talk of marriage. Try to force that moment, and it will vanish, just as love vanishes if you try to force it. Just one more thing. It may seem an unnecessary caution, but more young people than most of us realize are still dependent upon their parents' advice, even in 1940. Don't let your parents interfere in your relationship with the man you hope to marry. Don't expect, or accept, their help. Babies take to Clapp's!

Louise was looking up at Tom and he was smiling down at her in a new way. I had never seen him look at Louise with that expression before - something tender and humorous and very near. I smiled at the Judge. "I'd be very happy if it worked out that way," I said. Then Esther Greenlee and her husband, Ken, came over to sit with us and the conversation became general.

You see," this was so hard to say, "in a way. it's true. It was a mistake - but - well, Tom was in j ail." The Judge's face went pale. A small moan escaped Louise's lips.

Yes -because they fear their disfiguring psoriasis lesions might make them the object of curious and unfavorable attention, many men and women refrain from those sports and recreations that make summer so enjoyable. Clothing, too, becomes a problem, for often women find it impossible to wear modish summer garments and sheer hose if they would conceal those unsightly lesions. Are you faced with this problem? Then try SIROIL. SIROIL tends to remove those crusts and scales of psoriasis which are external in character and are located on the outer layer of the skin. Should such lesions recur, light applications of SIROIL will help to keep them under control. Think what this would mean to you. Would it not make the coming summer a season to be looked forward to with joy instead of dread? Isn't it worth everything to you to give SIROIL a chance? Internationally famous.
