Janet opend the door to her
apartment, thinking as she did
so that {t had been Gnly a week
since Craig and she had shared
this‘ apartment they called: their
“Ivory tower", named that be-
cause of its odd shape. It had
been a storage room until the
housing shortage became pre:
valent, Then old Mrs, Root, feel-,
ing sympathetic toward — the
plight of Janet and Craig Norris,
had cléared it out, partioned it
off into two small rooms and
rented it to them.

That was just 13 months
ago. Janet remembered, dropping
her gloves on the table and light-
ing the lamp with the same ges-
ture, They had been married on-
ly three weeks, just long enough
to realize they were imposing on
Craig’s famlly who were cramp:

gone.
The whole thing seemed so
unimportant now. She glanced at
the telephone, half-inclined ‘to
call him’ home, but her own re-
calcitrant nature refused to al-|
low such a move, She turned on
the radio instead and pretended
the tears that welled in her eyes
at the strains of “Silent Night”!
were: merely tears,of weariness!

three and one-half flights of
stairs, Tears coursed down her
cheeks and she prayed with fan-
atic zest that she was not ‘too
late, As she reached’ the,,la

flight of staifs, she crashed’ in

a figure who was hurrying up,

drawer to put away last hight's|

ing the cover, she stared at the
items she had collected: Craig's
class ring, exchanged for a dia
mond after thelr graduation from
college; a pressed orchid, one of
those she had carried at her
wedding; varlous cards, Christ-|

‘ Just a week ago they had
the quarrel] that had sent Craig
from the apartment. It had been
a blow to his pride from the day
of their wedding that Janet
should continue working. She en-
joyed her position in the adver-
tising firm where she had risen
from a clerk to copy writer in
just two years, Since she left the
house after Craig in the morning
and returned before him at night,
she never felt her working inter-
fered in any way with her house-
hold duties, But friends had
snide remarks.about “poor Junet
stil working", and it was more
than Craig could bear, “They
think I can’t support you!” he’d
storm at her,. but the more he
pleaded the more adamant she
had become. And now he was

gift card and read again, “To,
my dear wife, Janet, on our first!
Christmas.” It was the card with|
the watch he had. given her last
year.

Trembling, she closed. the}
box and turned quickly from the}
dresser. She had been a fool, she
decided. Without. Craig, Christ-
mas could never hold the same
meaning for her as it once had.
She didn’t stop to lock the door’
for there was nothing of value
ayone could steal from her. Even
her $100 Christmas bonus lying
on, the table went unnoticed, The
one thing she myst not lose was|
happiness, and that was no long

Dear Sir;

On the occasion of the com-
pletion of the Hghting installa-|
tion in the arena, the directors
of the Project Society would ask
yeu-to publish this letter as an
expressions of thanks to all the
individuals and firms who as-
sisted us in this vital step in the
completion of this project.

The permanent power con-
nections were made last Monday
about a year .after the job was
started. The planning and sup-
ervision has been the responsibil-
ity of Mr. W. Thorp and Mr. A.
C. Sylvest. The big and difficult

job of installing the overhead)’

lghts required the assistance of
many: people. Those responsible
for a much larger than average
share of: work on this phase
were Mr. C. Sanderson, Mr. E.
