anti-children.
The management didn't mind people hav
ing babies or children - but please, some
place else. Any place but Harden House.
in the morning and yell. to the great irrita
ton of other guests. Often the front desk
clerk looked a couple with baby straight
in the eye and said with insincere regret,
$50 sorry, we haven't room left. - when
half the rooms in the house were empty.
And Miss Grayson was No. | child nurse.
She was there because ambassadors, cabi
net members. foreign potentates and old,
important guests often were afflicted with
babies or children. 1t was regrettable, but you
couldn't tell tycoon or prince that there
wasn't room left - 50 sorry. So Harden
House could only make the best of deplor-
able situation - in true Harden House style.
That is to say, it had children's playroom
decorated by COrel himself. A children's res
taurant, with miniature furniture. A special
chiidren's kitchen, under the direction of
Miss Kippler the dietician. where meals for
little folk were prepared for as little as ST. so
per. And such guests as were permitted to
bring their children into Harden House, and
whose nurses or gOvernesses had been left
behind or quit suddenly - which they often
did - could pick up telephone, and in five
minutes Miss Grayson would be there to take
over. Miss Grayson. palelipped. starchily
crisp, as ooldly efficient looking as an operat-
ing room.
Once Mary, the chambermaid, met Miss
Grayson walking on Madison Avenue on her
day off and reported to the other girls that
it was most surprising - she was really
beautiful girl when touched up little, and
she had really beautiful figure, though you'd
never think it seeing her rustling around the
hotel in starchy white dress that covered
most of her legs
Miss Grayson knew better than to be smart
and pretty at her work. People mistrusted
nurses with kissable lips and provocative legs
The personnel manager made that clear the
day he hired her. Such gifts were appropriate
for the girl vocalist in the Mediterranean
Room = indeed, necessary - but the child
nurse must be pale, crisp. efficient looking
and pleasant, but firm.
She also had to be MISS Grayson, in Harden
House. MRS. George F. Grayson" was all
right for the Social Security record - widow,
age %, trained at Boston General, RN.,
N. Y, one dependent, son, George, Jr.,
age 8, address: the Grand Concourse, Bronx.
But it was one of the Harden Houses little
touches that she had to be Miss Grayson
while on duty, just as f. w. Hennendorfer
was Eric when he patrolled the Medterra-
mean Room as Captain
About all that the other employees knew
Evening star., 1942-05-31

about her was that she made very good money
and turned down many offers from guests to
become a private child nurse at even better
pay, because she had a son in the Bronx and
wanted to go home to him after hours Also
that she never lost her temper, as her short
lived predecessors had done - short lived
because you can't tell spHlrd brat that she's
spoiled brat - not at least while her parent
is a guest at Harden House
Miss Grayson was very philosophical about
her wards. When floor clerk tried to SYM
pathize with her for having to handle the
worst children. she pointed out that that was
what she was there for If children, she said,
didn't drive their own private nurses to mad
distraction. causing them to quit on the spot,
there wouldn't be any need in Harden House
for Miss GraysOn. Thus she wouldn't have
job.
1t was also known that she was in love with
MIR. John r. Williams in 1902. She didn't
say so of course, but it was obvious to Miss
Clausen, the new floor clerk on the eighteenth
floor by the way she stopped, before rapping
on the door of 1902, to twitch her starchy
dress into just the right fdd,! to take a. small
mirror from her breast pocket and use it to
examine her face.
The hand that held it, Miss Clausen swore,
was trembling. like that of a schoolgirl being
kissed for the first time.
1t was obvious by the way she always said,
I'll take that" when the call came in to send
child nurse to 1902. though she could have
sent the second call nurse, Miss Kber. The
Williams brat was the worst brat in Harden
House, and the only reason for volunteering
to take call to 1902 was obviously because
Mr.. John r. Williams was there.
MIR. Williams wasn't in love with Miss
Grayson.
That, too, was a well-knOwn fact 1t is
doubtful that he ever saw her. That 49,, saw
her as anything but hotel fixture, like the
telephone. the floor clerk. the indirect light
ing, or the nameless, tailed autOmatOn who

leaped out of its tureen and spattered him,
the creamed chicken spread slowly over the
rug. and the whipped potatoes formed little
mountain that mingled with the creamed
spinach.
John R. Williams, who'd seen that sock
clad leg 60 out, restrained himself.
He restrained himself while Zambowskl

setting the Cat afire.
Bombs Hit Fort Mears.
The bombers laid a stick of l8
200-pound bombs in the neighbor-
hood of Fort Mears. Barracks and
warehouses in the fort installation
were hit and began to burn, fire
that smoldered three days.
A Zero attacked another Cata-
lima in the air, but the big boats
gunners fought this off. An Amer
lean fighter pilot was severely in
jured making a crash landing after
being shot down by Zeros.
The aircraft began to snort
and below all around the harbor
with the first Jap plane to break
through the mist. Gunners on a
seaplane tender lying in the harbor
knocked down two fighters and
bomber and hits were claimed on
others.
Unlike other occasions which his
tory may record, Dutch Harbor was
ready for attack with everything but
weather. Weather along the Aleu-
tians is never favorable for any
thing but getting lost.
Our Catalinas and the Army's
big Fortress bombers were out

appeared. Within an hour of the
second attack one Cat, shopping
through drifting wreaths and fes-
toons of mist, stumbled on one air
craft carrier lurking south Of
Umnak, the next big island west Of
Unalaska.
BY midafternoon a second carrier
was spotted in the Bering Sea above
the island chain.
Dived in Second Attack.
A ranging P-39 fighter encoun-
tered two Jap cruiser type observa-
ton planes in Umnak Pass and shot
one down in flames. The other got
away. Other enemy planes were
seen 200 miles farther east off Sand
point on Popof Island in the Shu-
magin group.
Dutch Harbor found the going
hotter when the second attack ma
terialized shortly after noon. The
first planes had stayed 5000 feet
up and dropped their loads from
that height with as meager success
as the Japs usually achieve in hori-
zOntaI DOmblng.
The second wave by three closely
spaced three-plane bomber sections
was the Jap version of dive bombing.
American dive bombers favor letting
60 all holds and coming down in
vertical plunges. The Japs dive at
angles Of 80 to 40 degrees, but seem
to do fairly well with their method.

In twilight or a mirage, perhaps,
