RENDEZVOUS

ssONLY a year, my DEAR"
" he pleaded. Twelve
months to prove that I'm new
man-for myself, for the world
and, above all, for you"
That was last New Years
Eve, the day Joe walked out
of prison a free man. Margie met
him at the big iron gate, a puzzled
and frightened boy wearing an ILL
fitting suit. His debt was paid.
Twelve worried months Margie
had waited, praying each night that,
wherever he might be, her Joe was
safe on the narrow path. And now
his years probation was up.
The clock struck eleven thirty and
Margie turned on the radio Back
east, in New York, it was already
1941. She should have arranged to
meet Joe there; it would all be over
now!
At eleven forty-fve her heart beat
furiously.
"Please, God" she prayed.
MAKE him come to me at mid
night"
Suddenly she heard a furious
clamor in the hallway. Then
knock, nervous and sharp. The
knob turned, and suddenly she saw
Joe, his eyes wide and his face dead
white.
"Margie!" he cried. Hide me
quick. The cops are after me but
I didn't do anything . Honest!"
"But Joel" she answered. why
should you hide, them"
"Please, honey, don't argue!" His
hands were trembling.
While the midnight bells tolled
outside, Margie rushed him to the
unused closet off the hall. Then she

What will they think when they

stepped into her own front hall.
"Just what was afraid Of" she
said aloud. when you look at
this hall as an outsider the worst
thing you think is that its owner
Is lacking in imagination"
Right then things began to hap
pen. The shabby old hall carpet
was washed right on the floor and
then dyed a deep green with hot
dye applied with a scrub brush.
The long lines of the new green
sateen curtains turned the space
between door and window into a
definite panel crying for a long
mirror and a console shelf. The
sketch shows you how these were

went calmly back to the living room
and sat down.
A second later they came, two
burly Irishmen.
"A young fellow just come in
here?" one asked.
"Ah, er, yes" Margie began.
Then, resolved: you'll find him
in the closet"
"Ye'n have to come along, too,
young ladyl" the copper said. And
few minutes later they were driv-
ing to the police station. Joe, be-
side her, was silent.
I'm sorry, Joe," she offered.
"But I couldn't marry a dishonest
man."
He didn't answer.
At the station they were whisked
into small room. 1t was strangely
quiet, Margie thought. In corner
two men were whispering and sud-
denly one of them walked over to
her chair.
Know what we've done, young
lady?" he asked ominously.
1--WE done nothing" she replied,
thoroughly indignant.
Eyes We have!" he insisted A
faint smile crept into the corners
of his Irish mouth. "Ye've got yer
self husband"
Suddenly the room was filled with
laughter and the next thing Margie
knew Joe was kissing her again
and again. When she finally looked
around they were alone.
"Oh, Joe," she sighed, then you
really haven't done anything
wrong?"
"Of course not, dear!" he an
swered. I'm a detective now
have been for the last six months
since l helped the cops smash a
burglar ring"
But Joe," she moaned, ito think
that l refused to hide you back at
the apartment. I'm not worthy,
joe"
Don't worry about that. Margie!"
he replied. I'm not a crook my
self, any more, and wouldn't want
to marry one!"
Out in the captains Office far
away radio brought the sound of rev.
elry. Marg looked at her watch. 1t
was one o'clock in the morning now;
in the Rocky mountains they were
welcoming the new year.
Honey" she said, lets pretend
we live in Denver"

with my mother, we are six
women. The house is full of dresses,
hats, powder, hair brushes. We
make beds, sweep halls, wash
dishes, plan meals, cook together.
Of course we gossip, and of course
little things are important to US;
weddings, babies, illnesses, scan-
dals. Our friends are all women.
Girls come in and sit with Mother
in the kitchen.
1--WE have never had a party, my
father not permitting it. He always
says that we ought to find enough
amusement among ourselves. To
tell you the truth the one thing we
would dread above all others would
be necessity of having party. We
know so many girls, and hardly any
boys at all. To have 30 girls arrive,
and men, would be too horrible!
my mother is an angel, but she
is too gentle, endures too much, and
is far from well.
Father Forbids Change.
my older sister, Alma, and I
have been school teachers for five
and three years. Now Alma has
high school in town 200 miles
away. We have car; her salary
would be ample for us both, and
she wants me to go with her. My
father and mother fatty forbid it.
At least my father does, and Mother
says you must obey Pa
alma has accepted, for January
first. But if we go we go against
bitterness and threats, and against
the tears of three little sisters, who
say, Now NOTHING will happen,
if you two are gone!' Mother says
she needs me to give her her alcohol
rubs and cook her special food. But
Grace, who is strong, II, and much
at home could do that.
What shall we do? We've always
been NICE even though the girls
who go a very different path seem
to have all the fun. But there's new
er been any question of any one
of US doing anything wild or wrong.
If Alma and I 60 away it'll be as
gentlewomen. My father needn't
worry about that. But shall we go?"
Build a New Life.
My answer is 60" And it would
be Ego" if you two were the only
girls of the family. Get away from
that sitting atmosphere. Set up
your own little establishment. Make
a few friends, make them slowly and
carefully, and when you feel ready
for it begin with informal little sup
pers, and be ready with pencil
games. The smarteSt folk l know
never attempt to get through an eve
ming without some casual plan for
entertainment. Keep a pleasant
easy conversation going, grow con-
fident and natural in manner be-
cause everything you attempt is nat
ural and simple.
After while, when you and Alma
are happily engaged, send for the
next girl in line, and then the one
after that, and so gradually do for
yourselves what a selfish, cold father
and weak mother haven't been
able to do for you.

herself just what she is doing to

ciates on even terms. How free are
your girls to say to any chance at

"Mother'd like you to come in to
supper on Sunday. We always

young men to the house with the idea
that if Dad likes them and Mother
likes them, then new friendships are
in the making? Is your house a
house where hamburger sandwiches
and chocolate bars and hot coffee

Dominica Offers Sanctuary to Maj Refugees

Anew life, frec'of oppression and
persecution, has been promised TO
500 families from prosecuted Euro
peain minorities by General Rafael
'Leonidas Trujillo, once known as
the , dictator of the Dominican ke-
public. Under terms OF an agree
ment signed in Ciudad TruJlllo, the
refugees will settle Immediately on
$4,000 acres of land donated by Tru-
jiIlo near Sosua, and will be granted
full citizenship. The settlers Will
include both Jews and non-JeWs.
Not only will their entry fee be
waived, but they will be allowed to
bring in equipment and tools duty
free. The contract was signed IN
the presence of James N. Rosen-
berg, New York attorney and presi-
dent of the Dominican Republic
Settlement Association.
1t is proposed that up to 100000
refugees eventually be granted
haven on the island. Economic eX-
perts doubt that the republic, equal
in size to Vermont and New Hamp-
shire combined, can accommodate
that many, but believe that it can
accept $4,000 comfortably.
Sugar, cocoa and tobacco are the
chief products of the fertile island,
with 1880 of it's 1926 square
miles arabic. The land contains
gold, copper, iron, salt, coal and
petroleum, but the mining industry
is undeveloped, and it is hoped this
is one of the industries which the
refugees will help build up. The
population of 100000 is race of
mixed European, African and In
dian blood, speaking the Spanish
language. Education is compulsory.
Trujillo was first made president
of the republic in 1884 and soon be-
came known as its dictator. Because
of his reforms, which put the back
ward y1and in the front-rank of
Latin-American countries, the con-
gress changed his title to Benefac-
tor. At expiration of his second
term in 1888, Trujillo decided to
rest on that title alone and his
