awaiting htm just over his own threshold young ooctor gavin stepped wilhin his apartment the small white pasteboard attract ed bis eye even before he entered he picked 11 up and read orace darling will be expecting you and bobby on friday at six sorry you are not in this was scratched in pencil across the face of the card wruch further informed the young doctor that helen moore was tne caller and ner tele phone number was plaza 2110 now doctor gavin felt that at a stretch he might be the darling but he most certainly could not be grace deductions then assured him that helen moore nad made a tti and pushed her card undr the wrong door but who is grace and must i make a round of all the apartments in this building in order that helens message reach its rightful darling the doctor lifted his telephone and called plasa 2110 rhe voice that travelled over the wire was delightful upon mnng his reasons for calling her up known she seemed most grateful it is mrs berkley helen moore al and i must have thought the tront was the back they have just moved in and have no telephone it is so awkward yes if you would be so very kind yes i will hold the wire uoctor gavin beat a hasty exit to tnsafilher apartment on his noor and tvxnberkley answered his knock his excuses for intrusion being made he asked u mrs berkley would like to talk with miss moore that was only the beginning o numerous messages that doctor gavin bore to the other apartment it ed as ix helen and orace tux endless tnings to say to one another after sue in the evening the hour that the doc tor reached home three weeks later he was as he vulgarly expressed it thick wlm the berkleys they liked him and he liked them in the back of her marri ed heart orace already had her best chum and the very delightful doctor happily in the niatrlmonlal noose rne day was fast approaching when doctor gavin realised that a meeting was inevitable doctor gavin said grace after mature thought will you come in and have dinner with us tomorrow night helen is coming and i know you feel a bit squirmy about actually meeting her so i have quite a nice little idea i will tell helen that you ara jack deans an old friend of mine from the west whom i particularly want her to meet so with fear and trembling he made his entrance as jack dearie fortu nately he had a bit of a cold and his voice was sufficiently unlike doctor gavins to deceive helen completely helen most certainly was all any man could expect from the feminine world her hair was softly brown her eyes wide and intelligent and her gown exquisite doctor gavin found himself hurriedly and precipi tately falling in love and helen liked the friend from the west even though her ear was keyed to each footstep in the hall she somehow felt disappointed that the doctor made no real attempt to know her she turned suddenly toward the doctor what part of the west do you come from she asked cedar rapids iowa- he lied beau tifully never having even passed through the midwest olty not really i grace dldnt tell me that i wai born there and then the doctor was in for it properly bueh a volley of questions and inquiries i and so hat and disap pointing were one answers that follow ed that helen was more than a little suspicious that he had never seen cedar rapids printed even the doctor was in a one position for a man who has just decided that he has met the only girl he looked around desperately for relief suddenly a telephone bell rang and rang helen heard it and her heart nut tared tom looked worried grace startled and only doctor gavin seem ed pleased tf you 11 excuse me i must n swer my phone might be an import ant call like some others of recent date he slipped ont before a word atmia oracel how could you helen burst forth you said he was dark and abort and had a mustache and hes sandy and wonderfully built and and but helen stopped and blush ed anyway i like him do there i knew you would laughed grace and on the way home in the doc tors ooay coupe helen said with an unsteady laugh i have given you a good deal of trouble doctor by having made that mistake yes and you will have to give me more than trouble before our accounts are straightened out i we have only met tonight warned helen but her voice held more of en ticement to continue ulan she was quite aware of the following is an anonymous con tribution which has travelled around a lot since it seems to strike a re sponsive chord m the bresst of many an editor sorry we eant give credit where credit is due but it strikes us that it came originally from some of the service club magazines it rather sounds that way i like the depression no more prosperity fori me j have had more fun since the depression started than i ever had in my life i had forgot tn how to live what it was like to ea common everyday food fact is 1 was getting a little high hat f then and now three years ago only one man of our outfit could be out of town at a time and he had to leave at the last minute and get back as soon as pos sible many times i have driven 100 miles to a banquet sat through three hours of bunk m order to make a 4fyemlnute speech then drive the 100 miles- back so as to be read for work next morning nowadays we make these trips and we stay as long as we want to the whole outfit could ieave the office now and it wouldn t make any difference time neighbors its great to drop into a store and feel that you can spend an hour or two or three or luut a day just visit ing and not feel that you are wasteing valuable time i like the depression i am getting acquainted with my neighbors in the last six months i have become acquainted with folks who have been living next door to me ror three years i am following the biblical admonition love your neighbor one of my neighbors has one of the bestlooking wives i have ever seen she is a dandy i am get ting acquainted with my neigbors and learning to love them i like the de pression the wife three years ago i was so busy and nay wife was so busy ha we qidnt see much of each other consequently we sort of lost interest in each other i never went home to lunch about twice a week i went home to dinner at 630 o clock i never bad time to go anywhere with her if i did go on a party i could never locate her since there was always a 1londe or a redhead available i dldnt worry much about it my wife belonged to all the clubs in town she even join ed the young mothers club we did not have any children but she was studying and between playing midge an going to clubs she was never at home we got stuck up and high faluttn we even took down the old family bed and bought a set of twin beds on the instalment pjan when i went home sht would already be in her bed and i would crawl in mine if she came in last it was vtoe- versa beds and olaba we uke the depression we have come dowu off our pedestal and are really living at home now the twin beds are stored in the garages and the family affair is being used we are enjoying life instead of taking a hot water bottle to bed then cold nights she sticks her heels in my back like she did before bennett was electa ed i havent been out on a party in 18 months t have lost my book of tele phone numbers i believe we are fal ling tn love all over again i am pretty well satisfied with my wife think i will keep her at least until she is forty and then if i feel like i do now i may trade her for two-twen- tuw i am feeling better since the depression i take more exercise i walk to town and a lot of folks who used to drive oadluacs are walking 1with me i like the nepreaslon i i am getting real honest-to-good- food three years ago we had mlgnon once a week now we have round steak with flour gravy tnen we had roast breast of guinea hen now we are glad to get sow bosom with buttons on it i mike the depression my salar has fceen cut to where i can afford to buy lettuce and spinach and parsley and we cant afford to have sand wiobes and frozen deserts and all that darnfoolkotneas which has killed more good men than the world war i like the depression three years ago i never bad time to go to chu i played golf all day sunday and be sides i was so darned smart there wasnt a preacher in ontario could tell me anything now i am going to church regularly never miss sunday and if this depression keeps on i will be going o prayer meeting beofre long i like
