there'u be a little left over to
start housekeeping. Soon
Ann was too thrilled and eX-
cited to notice the word that she
had learned to associate with
Tony's bad habit Of procrastInat-
ing.
They walked 20 Beckworth's
after work next day. Ann was
soon lost in admiration. Admira-
ton for the diamond which twink
led on her slender finger for a
moment.
Gosh, perfect fit" Tony
said, while the clerk beamed in
sympathy.
The diamond was small and
square, set chastely in platinum
Ann thought it was the loveliest
thing her eyes had ever dwelt on.
She moved to another counter to
examine Christmas gifts for men
while Tony had his conference.
"TIl be back before Christmas,
Tony told the clerk. "By Christ

the condolences, the dreams OF

talked about getting a ring.
didn't want him to spend all that
money when | could do without
it. But the ring has come to be
"a symbol nova symbol OF
Tony's ability to make good his
promises-and sacrifice if neces'
sary."
"And save" Sarah said. ats
awful The way Tony wastes
money"
The earnestness in AIMS voice
hurt Sarah. When Ann talked
like that she felt violent toward
Tony for not really recognizing
what a grand kid, what a thor
oughbred Ann was.
Don't worry about T ony
spending money on your ring,
Sarah said grimly. eff he doesn't
spend it that way, he will some
other way. Believe me, wher
Mac and | are married I'll en-
courage him to think of me. Mer
love women lots more if they're
not too easy on them"
Ann suspected there was logic
behind Sarah's reasoning. But il
was becoming increasingly diff
cult to be hard on Tony increas'
ingly easy to forgive him for his
faults and weakness. Tony was
himself, that was all.
The days went by AMI suddenly
the shops were flinging out gala
signals everywhere. The streets
were as bright at night a. III day,

gariands met the eye az every
turn. 1t was fun to be a part
of the gay crowds, surgine
through the streets, problems for,

What to give Tony? The ques'
ton was in AIMS mind and heart
and on her lips.

PLEASED THAT
 GEN. JOHNSON
 STAYS ON JOB
One Group Dismayed, An other Delighted at Fu-
 tuure Work of NRA Boss
By HERBERT HUMMER

1 WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.s- The "chiselers," "Neanderthal men" and the '"Tories"-to use General John- sons description of his enemies may have been somewhat dismayed at the news that he is not yet to go into eclipse at MIRA, but to one group in Washington it was greet ed with something akin to cheers.
 It is the capital corps of news paper correspondents. #" I The manner in which it was de- cided the general was to remain as head man" at MIRA is typical of the reasons Washington news
 writers would be sorry to see John- son retire from the national stage.
 In this incident, as well as al-
 most every other in which he has figured since he took charge of MIRA, he has been grand copy.
 The time was when Al Smith in
 the role of the happy warrior was the beau ideal of newspaper men who concern themselves with
 national affairs. The General, however, has outshone even him in picturesqueness. s9N.sgs ss@a W JOHNSON VIVID FIGHTER Smith got into a lot of fights, but never as many or bitter ones as has Johnson. Smith's ability to snap back at his opponents was recognized by all. but the Generals talent for furling scathing epithets at his enemies is more vivid than Smiths -ao Frff fe Regardless of what anyone thinks about Johnson personally and his methods, it is recognized generally that he has done a magnificent job inTselling the Blue Eagle and MIRA to the country. s
 He is a sui per- salesman, a won- der as a promoter, superb as al barker When it comes to attract I ing the attention of the whole l country-even the world-the gen eral is in a class to himself.
 He has marshaled literally mil lions of raw and often reluctant recruits into camp And there's been color in every command he issued in doing so
 OFTEN ION WAY OUT"
 No important figure in the new Deal" has been on his way out of office as long and as frequently as Johnson. Talk of his retirement dates back almost a year. v Before the beginning of the last Congress there were rumors he would quit before the beginning of the regular session. But he stuck Early in the summer such talk l was revived. Reports had it he 1 would make a few vivid speeches during the summer in support of MIRA, then back out of the picture completely by the time the 74th Congress rolled around. He has spiked those reports once l again, and in true Johnsonesque fashion. Whether it be true or not that he really desires to get out
 and return to private life is be- side the question at the moment.
 The important thing is that he
 stays with NRA and is still boss" l
