"I've got to hurry, Steve will be . . ." "Steve will be waiting," he finished the sentence for her. "It won't hurt him for once. You've done plenty of waiting around for him." Vaguely unhappy, her eyes were guarded. "You don't like him, do you, Al?" "I just don't think he's the right guy for you, but then I may be prejudiced. If you ever decide I'm right, I'll be around." Her smile was very gentle! "You're so nice, Al. Only..." "Well, run "along. Your kids can always call me Uncle Al" She hurried along quiet street. Steve hat to wait. Always, when they"had a date, she tried to be there first. The corner booth was empty, and she slipped thankfully into it, grop- ing in her purse.for an elusive compact. A shiny nose was an- other of Steve's personal dislikes. A waiter, without bothering to take the order, placed a glass of sherry carefully in front of her. "You know I always drink the same thing, don't you?" "Sure," he smiled at her. "You're the dependable type. Same drink . . . same guy." As always, at any allusion to Steve, her heart did a' double beat. "Don't you approve of my choice?" she asked lightly. "The sherry here is always the best." He could mean anything or nothing, She pondered over how few him. Slowly, she swirled the liquid in her glass, and tried not to think of all the times she had waited for Steve when he hadn't been able to keep the date, Steve, with his low-pitched, vibrant voice, and the way his eyes crinkled at the corrers. A man appeared at the door, and for a moment, at the first glimpse of the brown hat, her heart skipped a beat. But it was not 'Steve. men who met Steve really liked, | \ It was a swinging door, hung about a foot above floor level, that led into the little bar where she waited. Idly, she began watching the shoes passing be- low the door in endless parade. Some went on by to the lounge in the next room, and others entered the room where she sat. It wis fun trying to figure out what the rest of the person would be like. This pair, sen- sible cuban-heeled oxfords below trim lisle ankles. A housewife, no doubt, dropping in after shop- ping. A man's firm step, then, in well-cut brown oxfords with heather hose. Probably the stock broker type. Riglit again! Now a pair of plain black shoes, and the hose a respectable dark wine. Not much spring in that step, though walking beside were * sheer, shapely nylons, and a pair of exceptionally smart pumps. A rather ill-assorted pair, she thought, but the smile died on her lips as she glanced at the clock. He had to come! Her throat constricted in sudden panic. How could she go home not knowing. Waiting for his call. Perhaps not hearing until tomorrow. Tonight loomed ahead. Lonely, unbeare able. Didn't he want to see her? It didn't matter if he were too short of funds to take her out to dinner. It was seeing him that mattered. Surely he knew that! She went back to watching the shoes. A brown pair now, their polish a trifle too perfect with they slightly worn heels. There was a bulge, too, that looked like the beginfing of a bunion. Her grandfather had a bunion, she remembered irrele vantly. The door was swinging open and they were coming in; .the too-shiny brown oxfords. She watched them cross the floor, moving with a nice precision, first one and then the other, Large, matter of fact, not toe expensive shoes. A sales clerk, no doubt, she indexed him, dis- interestedly. Then a shock went through her as the shoes, quickening their pace, came lightly, step by step, to her table. She raised her eyes reluctantly. "Sorry, honey." His voice was low, intimate. Her face felt numb when she tried to smile, "I thought you weren't coming." "You knew I'd make it if I possibly could. Why, those other times I couldn't . . ." He paused, the instant smile flashing, and his' eyes straying to an attractive blonde girl who was watching him from' the next table. "Oh, well, what happened to prevent my meeting you doesn't matter now, does it?" Her face was suddenly vulners able and very young. Like a child who has eaten through the icing on the lower layer of a wedding cake, and found there was only cardboard inside. : "No, Steve," she said slowly, "it doesn't matter now." (Copyright) By Mary Cordon Now is the time of empty flower vases, so brighten your home with a miniature table garden. This can provide both decoration and a source of interest all through the winter. Seek your greenery in wooded ravines and the more sheltered parts of the gorden. Scraps of moss, tiny ferns, wild strawberry plants are still to be found under the fall- en leaves, and should be collected before they claimed by the De- mon Frost. Sprigs of cedar, ivy and other evergreens will be useful, too. ' Your table garden-can be made in a large floating bowl, a deep dish or a wide bulb bowl. Place a glass flower holder near one side; not in the centre or it will look too formal. Range a few small lumps of charcoal around the base of the bowl. This will prevent the water from going stale. Now {fill the bowl with moss cov- ering the flowerholder as well. Pour water to within half an inch of the top of the bowl. Tuck your tiny growing plants in- to holes in the moss and support them with more moss if necessary. Fern leaves, ivy trailers and any twigs 'without roots can be poked into the flower-holder, along with any tiny flowers or berried sprigs that can be culled from the garden. Flowers look best set in clumps or tucked amid taller foliage. Ar- range your bowl in the careless manner and avoid geometrical pre- cision; thus it will look most na- tural. Vary the garden with snippings of conifers and other evergreens to represent trees and bushes. The sweet-scented cedar is especially suitable, as it lasts for weeks and is less inclined to "drop" than the needled firs. Color can be added with bunches of sealing-wax ber- ries or painted acorn-cups tied with fine wire to the evergreens, while some lovely blossom effects can be had with hand-made shell flowers arranged on the dark surfaces of the cedam=fronds. : All kinds of miniature scenes can be made with the bowl of moss as the base. Children especially will be fascinated if you incorporate a tiny "pond" with pebbles at the bottom and a trail of white plastic ducks. A "stream" with a strip of alumin- um foil under the water to provide the necessary glitter, and . a tiny blue kingfisher (made of colored tinfoil) perched on an overhanging toy bird or animal. Try a small |: twig. A foresi scene with miniature | Jaf 1 Miniature Gardens in Bowls Easy and Fascinating to Make trees and a group of tiny toy deer, Or simply 'a mossy stick to repre- sent a log, and a little bird perch- ed on top. Keep everything in proportion as far' as you can, and avoid having your trees so big that they hide the remainder of the scene. One small clump halfway to the side of the bowl is better than a large group ih the dead-centre. Take out any foliage as soon as it drops and top up the bowl with fresh water (preferably rain water or melted snow warmed to the tem- perature of the room). Do not change the water; the charcoal will keep it fresh. With regular care, your tiny plants will last for weeks, while the moss will keep right through the winter and provide an effective setting for the first spring snowdrops.
