~ The smiall white radio with the
coral knobs sputtered a little over
the announcement that The Mam-~
moth Gold-buying Company, the
oldest establishment of its kind
in New York City, was respcnsi
ble for her favorite program and
Alma Conroy improvised words to
the classical recording which fol
lowed.
“Perhaps tonight everything
will be all right,” she sang, trying
to believe that the hope would
materialize.
It was part of a routine. Every
evening Alma forced herself to
this same optimistic note before
Tommy, her husband, came home.
And occasionally Tommy came
home sober and cheerful. At other
times—well, he did not mean to do
wrong!
A wave of unreasoning love and
sympathy for him swept over her,
ga acute that it was like a spasm
of pain, and unconsciously she
tossed back her mop of copper
colored hair in a defiant gesture.
Let the world think what it would
of Tommy, she knew beiter. Way
down deep in him was an essen
tial Fooduess and some day some
thilie would bring it to the surface
and make him the man he should
“be: make him a success instead of |
an underpaid drudge. i‘
It had to be, dear God, it had to
come true, this dream of hers! Yes,
in spite of what had hapvoened that
afternoon—and the fact that she
would have to break the bad news
to him.
She opened the box of flowers
she had bought on her way home
from work and the strong clean
parfume of fresices began to com
pete with the savory odors which
poured from the tiny kitchenette.
Alma put the blossoms in a
bowl and set it on the card table
“which was already laid for din-l
ner, and then set the chic, mod
ernistic room to rights. It was
always a nervous relief to use her
hands—those well-shaped skillful
hands which all day long manipu
lated gold or platinum and pre
clous stones, welding them into the !
impeccable sort of designs which
during better thau a hundred
years had made Trumbull & Com
pany America’s symbol for fine|
jewelry. Alma Conroy was the|
ongh woman journeyman-jeweler |
at The House, as its employes rev
erently called it, and she was
proud of this distinction.
The work was absorbing, the
endless cascade of jewels passing
through her hands legt an unfail
ing magic to her day’s work. And
then when the day’s work was
done there was this—the dread
that Tommy would again fail her! |
The shrilling of the telephonel
made her jump with alarm. That
would be Tommy, urging her to
abandon the meal she had pre
pared and join him at some bar
where he would be buying the
drinks for a crowd of worthless
people—building up his ego by
threwing away any money he hap- |
pened to have on him, holding the |
center of the stage he did not seem ]
able to ocupy in any other man
ner. !
Well, this time she would refuse
to go. She could not sit there and
suffer the sight of her man cheap- 1
ening himself-—not again—never
again even though it meant the
first voluntary separation during
the five years of their' marriage.
¢"7¢r hand trembled as ga picked |
up the receiver, but it was not
Tommy. w
“Alma, my dear,” Joé Denton's
rich voice was like balm to her
taut nerves. “I just wanted to be
sureé you were all right.”
Dear Joe, Alma thought, dear
good Joe, he can't keep his love
for me out of his voice, no matter
how scrupulously he tries to hide
it for Tommy’s sake! Aloud she
spoke cheerfully:
“Pm the same healthy red-head
yoti said ‘bye now’ to at The
ng! Anything make you think
differently?” She could feel his
hesitation.
#ls Tommy home yet?” he final
ly gaid. Intuitively Alma knew
th%t.was a warning.
“No. Where did you see him?”
shsflnsked quickly.
‘At the Blue Cat Bar. He was
drinking with Bright Muncie.”
Thi was news. Alma had never
hagvany particular liking for the
colopful but worthless only son of
the dignified president of Trum
bull’s—the fruit of a late second
magriage. That the young man
was* employed by The House at
all 'was a matter of store gossip,
and she was not aware that Tom
my knew Brighton Muncie except

by sight. It was certainly sur
prising that the two should be to
gether.
“I suppose you’ll say it's a case
of birds of a feather,” she tried to
make her voice light.
“No,” said Joe gravely. “It's
just that—well, you know Tommy
can be a handful when he's been
drinking. And I can generally
calm him down. If you should
need me, I'll be home all evening.”
* ® -
Alma thanked him and hung up
feeling weak and shaken. It was
awful, the way people felt about
Tommy, even Joe Denton, his best
| friend. If Joe had fallen in love
{with her, at least he had never
said so and had tried to hide it,
i even from himself. Joe was loyal
'to Tommy. They had gone to|
| school together, worked in the
same places. But in her heart
Alma knew that by now Joe had
come almost to the end of his pa
tience, seeing what a drag upon
her Tommy had become.
“Apparently everybody except |
Tommy and myself thinks I on;zhti
to leave him!” she said aloud. “I
know I ought to leave him. Thrxtl
makes sense. But I happen to
love him—and love seldom makes
sense, I guess!”
She went back and forth from
the kitchenette, wondering how
much longer she could endure the
strain of her domestic life. Well,
thank goodness, there was always
her work-—an escape into beauty
and luxury.
On top of the evening paper lay
a design for a pair of diamond
slips; one of those incredibly accu
rate pen-and-ink drawings which
the designing department handed
out. It required 80 stones—bagu
ettes, rounds and emerald-cut
squares, the center stones to be
raised in the world-famous Trum
bull prongs. Studying the draw
ing Alma forgot everything else.
She had brought it home to out
line a set-up for her own guid
ance, and the pieces would take
plenty of time to make—dared she
promise them in two weeks?
There was a sound at the door
and she "grum the drawing, her
heart its anxious in
quiry. Then Tommy Conroy came
into the room, his thin darkly
handsome face flushed, his man
ner carefully sober. He was not
in bad shape she noted with quick
relief, but there was a curious de
fiant brightness in his eyes. He
flung a large package onto the
s(;f';l and his soft black hat on top
of it.
“Hello, Jewels!” he said. Then
he strode over and snapped off the
radio.
“How you can stand that stuff!”
he said contemptuously.
“It's one of the best on the air!”
“I'm sieck of gold-buying—or
selling! T get enough of that with
out having to take it on the air!”
‘I thought you were not inter
ested in Trumbull’s,” she said.
“Not in being a sort of super
stock boy in the china depart
ment.” Alma bit her lip. Now
she’d have to tell him.
. a 9
“I'm afraid I have bad news,”
she said. “I talked to Mr. Greig of
the art department today. I'm
afraid they want a photographer
more along Mr. Dell’s lines!"”
“That doddering old fool—isn’t
he going to retire after all?”
“Alvin Dell has been good
enough to make the commercial
photographs, a¥ The House for 40
years!” she said reprovingly.
“Yes, while I wouldn’t be at The
House at all if it hadn't been for
your influence and your dodder
ing grandfather’s!” She could feel
her face growing crimson.
“Don’t you speak of Papa Victor
like that!” she flared. Tommy had
the grace to look ashamed.
‘Sorry!” he mumbled ungra
ciously. “I know Victor is the Mr.
Chips of the jewelry world and
‘that he’s been at Trumbull’s for
’_6o years and all that. But listen!
Everybody else at Trumbull’s may
think that just being there is re
ward enough for their services,
‘but I don’t! And now, what about
' Dell? lls he going or isn’t he?”
“Yes, he's retiring” she said,
“and I told Mr. Greig that you
were the logical man for the job—
I showed him your photographs
and he had to admit they were
wonderful, but . . .”
“But what?”
“] guess maybe for once the
truth won’t hurt you” She was
watching him with pain in her
eyes. ‘“He said you weren’'t the
caliber for a position of such re
l sponsibility.”

Twas The Day After Christmas”
"Twas the day after Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring but me and my spouse,
The ehildren were nestled all snug on their couches,
Together with planes, motors and pouches,
And mama was yawning, so was I, too,
As mamas and papas are likely to do,
Who lately have finished a strenuous day,
And shared in their family’s gallop and play.
So I figured it closely and thought that perhaps
I still might have time for a couple of naps,
When fromr the alarm clock there came such a clatter
I knew in a moment what must be the matter.
It must be, I knew, about seven twenty-eight
And I'd better get up or else I'd be late.
So I sprang from my bed, if that’s the right word,
Though to spring before breakfast is rather absurd.
Away to the window I flew like a flash
And opened the curtains and shut down the sash;
Cut off the alarm clock and shuffled away
To ready myself for another tough day.
The sun on the bathroom’s blue-tiled floor
Showed a number of things that were not there before,
Including a rabbit with only one eye,
The dog’s rubber bone, and the 10-year-old's tie.
®
Some sections of tracks and parts of a train,
And a rather decrepit mechanical crane.
In the bathtub was water, a section of rope,
Three apples, a 10-pin, and a new plastic boat.
So I washed nryself partly and put on the socks
That Santa Claus brought me, six pairs in a box,
Two sizes too small, and I really can’t think 3
What I'm going to do if they happen to shrink.
And a new shirt from Santa Claus, that for absent of sins
No longer is fastened with sixty-four pins.
And a very nice necktie, a rather bright green,’
But not quite so bad as some neckties I've seen.
And so back to breakfast and what should appear
But some skates on the floor and I 7all on my ear.
And I knew as I heard both my collarbones click,
That they must have been left there by dear old St. Nick.
Or that somebody else of a similar name
Left skates on my floor to shatter mxy frame.
So I sat me right down, with the skates sitting under,
And said “Dash it!” “Darn it!” “Lightning and Thunder.”
Which,l shouldn’t have said, as I figured too late, ‘ y
But it’s hard to keep calm when you sit on a skate.
And so to my breakfast, with nothing to eat
Save fruit cake and raisins and cold turkey meat.
And if it turns out that for four months or five
I don’t see a turkey I think I'll survive.
And I didn’t find out till I sat in the chair
That some one had left a box of paints there.
And the house seemed quite cold and there wasn’t much doubt
That somehow or other the furnace was out,
Because in the fever of Christmas day dizziness
Watching the furnace is nobody’s business.
So 1 lit it again, feeling sore as a boil,
And wished that cld Santa would send me some oil,
Imstead of three ash trays and six pairs of socks
And 50 cigars in a holiday box.
So I ran for the office, late an hour or two,
Which is something I frequently manage to do.
And stopped for the mail, expecting the worst,
Though the bills won't be here until January first.
And found nine more cards from friends whom I missed
When I made out last Tuesday my Christmas card list.
I suppose I should send them a greeting of cheer
To reach them in time for a Happy New Year.
But I've bought enough postage stamps lately, I bet,
To pay off two-thirds of the national debt.
"Pwas the day after Christmas and all through the town,
The people were taking the mistletoe down.
The hoosegow was filled with the night-before drunks,
with traffic offenders and similar punks.
The stores were deserted, the toy shops were bare
And there wasn’t a sign of Santa Claus there.
And where were the customers, merry and bright,
All loaded with packages, heavy and light?
And where was the merchandise, where were the toys,
Where, where the shoppers, the girls and the boys?
Alas Christmas is over with all its gay thrills,
And little to show for it now but the bills.
“ A day of good living and giving and laughter,
But O what a headache the next morning after!
A day to be happy with family and friends
And all the nice presents that Santa Claus sends.
And it seems just too bad that the very next day
There's work to be done in the usual way.
So, brothers and sisters, let’s all give a cheer
That Christmas time comes only once in the year.
And though I don’t feel very merry or bright,
Happy New Year to all and to all a goodnight.

‘Flame Of Araby’ Proves
Colorful Adventure Hit
Vivid Technicolor beauty is
cleverly matched with daring ad
venture and desert romance in
spectacular “Fame of Araby,”
which opened yesterday at the
Palace Theatre.
Technicolor Queen Maureen
O’Hara and rugged Jeff Chandler
head the starring cast of the new
film produced by Leonard Gold
stein and directed by Charles La~
mont. The film’s strong support
ing cast is headed by Maxwell
Reed, Susan Cabot, Lon Chaney,
Buddy Baer and Richard Egan.
Top dramatic values are dis
played in “Flame of Araby” with
the teaming of lovely Maureen
O’Hara, long a favorite in Tech
nicolor spectacle films, and Jeff
Chandler who, on the strength of
his recent outstanding perform
ance in “Iron Man,” is considered
the hottest male star in Hollywood
today.
Thie combination should prove
a great hit with moviegoers if the
reaction of yesterday’s opening
day audience is any indication.

Ex-POW's Urged
To File Claims
All ex-prisoners of World War
1I who have not yet filed a claim
for benefits~under the War Claims
Act of 1948, as amended, should
do so immediately according to
Ramond E. Lester, local manager
of the State Department of Vet
erans Service.
Lester pointed out that while
Public Law 16, 82nd Congress,
passed last April extended the
terminal date for filing claims
with the War Claims Commission
to March 31, 1952, the Commis
sion hopes to have all American
ex-POW claims settled by the end
of this year. This of course can
not be accomplished unless all
claims in this category are filed
in the immediate future.
Daniel F. Cleary, Chairmah of
the War Claims Commission, ex
pressed his opinion that in addi
tion to some living ex-POWs a
number of survivors of the pris
oners who are eligible for thne
benefits have not vet filed claims.
Wigows, children, and parents of
deceased POWs, in that order, are
eligible for benefits under the
War Claims Act. *
The benefits available to Amer
ican POWSs or their survivors un
der present law are SI.OO for each
day the ex-POW was interred by
the enemy and was not provided
with the amount and quality of
food required under the Geneva
Convention of 1929 relating to the
treatment .of prisoners of war
Claims forms may be obtained di
rectly from the local branch of the
Department of Veterans Service.
Lester invited persons interested
in further information concerning
ex-POW claims to call at the local
office of the State Department of
Veterans Service located at 283%

Washing 18 good for teffeta-ized
quilted rayon shantungs, too.
The list and choice of washable
lounging attire is endless. Irides
cent rayon tricot packets and skirts
combine with matching or con
trasting trousers and blouses for
glamor on the home front,
One of the newest longe set
ideas is cotton seersucker quilted
with invisible nylon thread. This
outfit, by the way, can be washed
and dryed without benefit of pres
sing. Quilted materials don’t have
to be ironed, either, Just use a
soft, well-soaped brush on neck
bands, cuffs and hemlines, and
then squeeze the entire garment
through plenty of rich warm soap
subs. Rinse it well, press water
out gently and hang it outdoors,
An occasional shaking during the
drying will help to fluff the pad
ding.
General washing Instructions for
the majority of rayons are simple,
Dip in lukewarm soapsuds, and
never wring the material dry. Roll
briefly in a turkish towel, and then
shape the garment on a clothes
hanger. That’s all there is to it,
except, of course, for rayon fabrics
which side, while damp, with a
low-heat iron.
From the looks of things, the
pretty robes and lounga sets you
receive this Christmas are destin
ed for long an dluxurious wear.
