DARE TO DREAMrys

had always done what she wanted
from babyhood when her father
spoiled her and gave her cry
thing she desired.
Why don't you run away?" one
part of her demanded.
Coward" another part of her
scoffed.
There came to her a memory of
the detached pity she'd felt when
one of her classmates was forced
to leave college for financial rea-
sons. At the time Media couldn't
imagine such a tragedy ever hap
pening to herself. Il didn't seem
possible that the vivid mental pic
lures she'd drawn of the studio in
which she would live after grad
uation wouldn't come true. From
gram mar school days she'd
planned to be a commercial artist.
A highly paid commercial artist
who could command the Iuxuries
of life.
But now all those plans had
stopped like = clock shattered BY
dynamite. The bad news had come
yesterday in a Letter from Leila,
her brother STAINS wife. It read:
Dear Media:

to send both you and Jack

But ten hours later it sure gave

The stockings weren't hung by

The darn things were sprawled

When I came to the house was all
flooded with light,
Although under the table | was
high as a kite.
While visions of sugar plums
danced in my head
1 somehow got up and then back
into bed.
Then what to my wandering
mind should appear
But miniature sleigh and eight
tiny reindeer.
Then the sleigh seemed to change
to red fire truck,
And each reindeer turned into a
