Milledge Ave.”
no alternative
“Oh, darling,” John begged,
reaching across the invisible bar
rier. “Let’s not fight. I didn’t mean
to forget, It just slipped my mind.
I said I'm sorry. Won't you forgive
me, dear?” s
In my saner moments, I may
stop to appreciate the humor and
pathos of the ordinary husband’s
burden of birthdays, anniversaries,
and religious and private holidays,
not to speak of the commercial
Mother - Father - Sister - Brother
days. But even today, in my
average moments, [ do what I did
then. I moved brusquely still
further away in the bed, until one
good breath would have sent me
over the edge.
Finally, after 20 more minutes
of this intelligent type of conversa=-
tion, John succumbed, as always,
to the stimulus of the soft bed, and
fell asleep. As I lay there listen
ing to the sounds in the quiet
house—the water dripping in the
bathrocom sink, a creaking board,
the steady humming of the refrig
erator in the kitchen—l became
more and more unhappy.
Listening for nocturnal noises in
general, real and imaginary, is my
specialty. Induced by a vague
kind of fear of the dark, this parti
cular occupation has become quite
an art with me, and I have little
difficulty nowadays in distinguish
ing between the faint creak of a
cockroach crossing the kitchen
floor and the slightly louder nocise
of a carpenter ant in the foyer.
But this night, as I listened, I
heard a real, terrifying noise that
sounded, beside the usual lesser
ones, like an oil tanker explosion
or the mating call of Gargantua the
Great,
“John!” I was up in bed, clutch
ing at him hard.
This routine having taken place
upon other occasions, unfortunate=
ly, he refused to accept my wolf.
: “Go to sleep,” he groaned sleepi
y.
“Sh!” I whispered, hearing it
distinctly again. “Just listen!” On
ly half awake, he sat up too, and
in the silence that followed, we
could both clearly hear the sounds
of a window being fumbled with.
“In the office.* The alleyway
window!” Wide awake now, he
made the explanation as if it were
a complicated diagnosis.
“Oh,” I could scarcely speak.
“Call the police, hurry!” I gave
him the telephone number of the
radio car squad which I had
secretly engraved on my brain in
neon lights for somelhing like this.
% *
In one minute we phoned; in
another, ‘we grabbed our robes.
John, who had obviously seen too
many movies, was all for going
straight in and taking charge.
“Oh, no, darling,” I said, for
getting my grievance and anger
for the first time. “You might
get hurt. Stay here. Please!
Fortunately, for my feelings and
John’s ego, just then with
a screeching of sirens and brakes,
two police cars drove up and set
led the issue. We let two police
men in the froat door, while two
others went round the back. It
was better than any motion picture
I had ever seen. They ran with
drawn guns, and shouted to the
housebreaker in the alley: “Stop
or we'll shoot!”
“The blessed name of the Law,”
I thought, reassured by their grim
faces and impressive firarms, and
beginning to enjoy it all.
“Isn’t it thrilling?” I whispered
to John, who looked at me as if I
had been hit on the head and was
developing acute idiocy. Before he
could reply, however, the police
reappaared, looking a little foolish,
as they came forth dragging a half
unconscious drunk who kept slob
bering: “I wanna go home.” Home
Shweet Home. I wanna go home.”
It was a little like using a fire
extinguisher to blow out a match,
and we all burst out laughing.
“We'll take you home, all right,
to the county jail,” said the police
man in a back, and I uttered a cry
of recognition.
“Officer Kelly,” I said happily,
as he came forward. “I haven’t
seen you since that accident ease.
That old man remember?”
“Sure and I do,” he said, shak
ing hands heartily with John and
me. “Never found the geezer
either. Probably belonged near
by. Well, you had vourself a little
scare tonight, didn’t you?”
Suddenly, it was like Old
Home Week, and we all laughed
and toasted our good spirits with
a round of beers. Then we said a
gay farewell with thanks to the
whole Police Department, locked
up, and went happily back to bed
still talking it over. .
“Say,” I said suddenly, sitting
up straight, “I'm supposed to be
mad at you. Bememl_)er?” L
John pulled me down beside
him. “You forgave me,” he said
teasingly.
“1 did not,” I murmured, close
in his arms. o .
“But you do now,” said John.
“And I was silly,” I replied
penitently. “And there’s nothing
to forgive.”
After a long moment, I spoke
once more: “Let’s never fight ever,
ever again,” I said.
“Never,” said John fervently,
sounding as if a milestone had been
reached and passed. “Darling, it
was awful, it was terrible!”
] know,” I said, suddenly
realizing too that we . probebly
would fight again and again, over
many things to come, but those
would never, really, matter any
more than this did now. “It was
terrible,” I agreed, hugging him
hard, “but it was also marriage.”

their troubles, too.
In the last century people wor
ried because there were too many
kings on thrones—and not enough
in poker hands.
Today unemployment is the pla=-
gue of monarchs. In olden times
kings were bounced off their
thrones because (1) they went
mad, (2) they cut off too many
heads, (3) a stronger relative
wanted the job, (4) they lost a
war, or (5) folks just got tired of
paying them too much taxes.
Now, however, kings seem to
lose their ermine and sceptor over
love—love, that wonderful four
letter word.
Gave Up Power
They gave up their power, their
prestige, their dominions—but, by
cracky, the kings have shown a
‘stubborn streak when it came to
love. They have insisted on exer
cising the right that princes have
always had in fairy tales, and
commoners have had in real life;
tu}}ta right to go with the gal they
..
King Carol, for instance, said,
“To heck with Romania—l'l] take
Madame Lupescu.” Before he had
even sat on the throne of England
long enough to get it warm, Ed
ward VIH gave it up for Mrs,
Simpson, “the woman I love.”
And widower King Leopold felt
he couldn’t hclglit if Belgium was
overrun by vaders, and went
right ahead and married a com
moner, .
Now Leopold has won a referen~
dum showing a majority of Bel
gium’s voters want him returned
to his home country and throne,
One thing you have to say about
these monarchs: They have all
stuck by the girl of their choice.
And all the world loves a_ stead
fast lover, crowned or crownless,
Certainly all wives do.
That is why the latest jobless
monarch, young Chief Seretse
Khama of Bechuanaland, has
much public sympathy,
The Oxford-educated chief, an
involuntary ‘exile in London, is
pining for his absent bride, pretty
