As Mrs. Benoni spoke, Gloria
pulled her hand away from the
womam’s grasp. “My husband is
in damgler too, and because of you,”
shé said coldly, “Why did your hus
band murder Jack the Cork with
my husband’s knife and leave him
on our dumbwaiter?”
“He didn’t! It's a lie! The po
fice have lied to you,” Mrs. Benoni
wailed. “Why should he murder

one of his own men—{riends?” she
amended hastily. “Lofty Gordon
got out of prison yesterday and
came to my place after Jack the
Cork.”
Maybe, Gloria thought, Mrs.
Benoni was merely the poor de
luded wife who stayed at home
making him apple pies with deli
cate slivers of lemon while her
husband was swiping emeralds.
Mrs. Benoni, sensing Gloria’s
softening mood, came out from be
hind her shawl. Her cheeks were
really wet from crying. She said
with a quger sort of dignity, “I
should not have bothered you ex
cept that you are the only one
‘'who can save my Benny. All I
wanted was a very small thing;
for you to bring me the apple pie
I baked yesterday and left on my
kitchen table.”
“What,” asked Gloria, not un
kindly, “is in the pie that I do not
know about?”
“The key to our safe deposit
box,” the other wife said frankly. |
“We need money to go away. I
tell you the truth. My Benny has
been in prison. He did not steal

the jewels. I swear it on the bones
of the blessed saints. But if he is
railroaded for it, this time he will
go to jail for life. So when I read
in the paper that Lofty Gordon is
out of the stiv, I locked you in the
‘bathroom till I could put the key
in my pie. But we had to get
‘away £o fast,*l could not take it.”
* *
No, Gloria was not going to get
him into another mess by being
naive and bridey. This was too
dangerous.
“I'm sorry,” she told Mrs. Be
noni, “but I do not like gangs or
people who have been in prison.
I cannot help you.”
She turned on her high white
heels and started to go.
“You lika some my pears?” Tony
appeared at her elbow so suddenly
she jerked aside.
“No. I seem to have lost all ap
petite for pears,” Gloria told him,
furious. “I suppose th e doorman
who recommended them so highly
is one of the Benoni gang, too?”
She glanced up the street hope
fully and was rewarded, for she
had guessed right. The little plain
clothes man was standing over
there by the bakery watching her
and Tony talk. “You see that cop
over there by the bakery?” she
asked Tony. “If I hear one more
squeak out of any of you, I'll sic
him onto you.”
She was beginning to have a
positive affection for this protect
ing shadow of hers; she wondered
if he’d go in swimming or stay on
the sand when all three of them
went to Jones’ Beach.
Miltiades was waiting for her
when she got back to the apart
ment, pleased because the boss had
told him tha% as long as nothing
got into the papers, there was no
need for the company to know
what had happened and why didn’t
he take the rest of the afternoon
off since he’d ruined the day al
ready?
“Let’s go,” he urged Gloria like
a kid. “Can I help with the lunch?”
He got a knife to cut the cake.
“Not that one, darling!” she pro
tested as she saw it was the “Mis.”

basket, but Miltiades did not agree;

ing off a horse . one had to get on
again at once if he ever expected
to ride again.
“I’'ll eat no angel cake cut with
that knife,” Gloria told him firm
-Iy, but when he still put it into the
basket, she said no more. But, as
it happened, she was right about
not eating the‘ an‘gel‘cake.
Since it was the latter part of
a hot July day, the train going to
Jones Beach, all the bathhouses,
and the beach itself were already
unbelieveably crowded when the
Browns arrived. All the people
who hadn’t gone to Coney Island
were here, Gloria said ruefully as
Miltiades hunted for a spot of un
occupied sand large enough to
spread out the steamer rug they’'d
brought to sit upon. But as they
turned to settle their lunch basket,
a large woman, whose alarming
rolls of fat bulged out of her bra
and shorts of large red roses on
a blue background, threw herself
happily down upon their rug.
“Come, Molly! Here, Sam, is a
nice place to sit!” she called. “You
do not mind? Is so crowded here
today,” she beamed at the startled
Browns. ; Wl
At the sight «of an entire family |
materialized from nowhere, smil- |
ing up at her from her own rug, |
Gloria giggled hysterically. - She
suggested, “You keep it for us tili
we get back from swimming—if |
we can find an empty bathhouse. |
And don’t let the kids get into the |
iunch basket, will you?” :
“Here,” the plump, beflowered |
rug sitter took a key from around [
her neck and offered the length |
of soiled gray elastic to Gloria, |
explaining, “Is fifty-fifty. I use |
your rug, you use my bathhouse. |
Sam, get your hand outa that bas- |
get! Here, take a nickel, buy
yourself an ice cream cone.”

pick up a new one—and not fussy
about make, model or color. A
friend of mine saw, a woman in
the shoe department of a store
order 17 (seventeen) pairs of
shoes. i
One of the fastest-selling items
around is automobile tires.
There’s scare buying, apparent
ly, in most of the items—food,
clothing and “hard goods”—which
were in short or negligible supply
in the last war. Remember the
nylon stocking queues?
Scare buying, private stock-pil
ing—there are lots of names for
it, but it comes right down to
hoarding. I suppost there are few
of us who haven’t contemplated
storing up on things we like on
the chance they will become
scarce. - But no matter how you
look at it, it’s a bad thing to do.
Of course, hoarding makes for
scarcities, and with the old law of
supply and demand operating
without controls, prices are forced
up. Most of us can’t hoard every
thing that’s likely to be scarce, so
we're bound to be caught one way
or another on price rises.
I may decide I can’'t do without
a cellar full of coffee (a very poor
idea because it deteriorates in
captivity) and a prise rise or scar
city won’t affect me. But other
people may grab items I've over
looked, so I'm stuck anyway —
maybe forced back to wearing
rayon stockings or undergoing
meatless days.
Some of the results of hoarding
in the last war showed pretty sel
fish, unpatriotic souls. Others were
downright funny in an ironic sort
of way. I rfemember one woman

who had a Lot tip that pepper was
going to be hard to get. She raced
herself down to the spice marts
and bought herself a 500. pound
bag of pepper corns. This amount
of pepper undoubtedly could have
seasoned all the dishes in her en~
tire community for the whole war
period. Actually, her pepper corns
mouldered and mildewed in her
cellar and ultimately had te be
thrown away.
Another rich and nervous lady,
nearing of impending rationing
and shortages, really stocked up
on canned goods. This was fine,
until a heavy rain flooded her
cellar, and soaked off the labels on
the lion’s share of her tins. From
that point on, she never knew
whether she was opening a tin of
stewed pears or a can of stewed
tomatoes. Of course, this added
a surprise element to some of her
meals, but it also made for con
siderable waste.
