Esmeralda."

she died last winter"
We'll. she didn't" said Susan.
She's pretty thin and sad looking
after her long illness, but she'll do

"Susan-PLEASEi"
my minds made up" said Susan.
IN look for you Just before noon.
when the sun is good and bright"
Fred groaned.
Good Lord" he said miserably.
And that was all. No other words
would come.
He stared of into the distance,
noted that the moon had hidden its
face behind a cloud, and didn't
wonder at 1t. OF all the crazy, silly,
idlotic things he had ever heard
about, this thing that Susan Farm
er was planning to do took the
cock-eyed cake.
Susan suddenly broke the silence
between them.
Don't stand here wasting timer
she said. Hurry 1 want to get
home and start writing my $50
word letter while I'm still in
spired."
Inspired, my eye" said Fred.
But he started the car.
1t sped of into the night.
A FEW days after Susan Farmer
announced her intention Of enter
ing the Dainty Diana Diaries con-
test, a young man by the name Of
Roy Leonard hurried into one OF
New York's tallest Office buildings.
There was a satisfied smile upon
his face, AMI under his breath he
was saying. God bless all the dear
little daughters Of farmers" He
owed a lot to them. bless their in
nocent hearts. And. boy. how they
had occupied his thoughts here Of
late! He had been thinking about
them for weeks.
And because he had kept re-

that wasn't to be laughed at.
Dear Lucy Belle" he said softly,
although he wasn't quite sure her
name had been Lucy Belle. Oh, well.
what did it matter? Lucy Belle.
Mary Anne, or Betty Lou-it was
the idea back of the memory that
counted! Roy Leonard, that rising
young advertising genius, whose
ideas are helping to put the Dainty
Diana Diaries products before mil
lions and millions Of American
housewives" The young mans
smiles broadened. Some day words
like those would be appearing in
papers and magazines. And maybe
his pictur also.
AS he got into the elevator to be
carried up to the floor upon which
were located the offices Of Dainty
Diana Diaries, Incorporated, he
again recalled the morning some
months before when Daniel Van
Vert Jones had stormed into the
advertising department, his eyes
blazing and his arms waving.
"Will someone tell me what I've
got an advertising department
for ?" he demanded. Salaries I pay.
and plenty, and what do l get?
Silly suggestions that wouldn't sell
lollypops TO a baby" He shook a
finger at first one person and then
another. "You-and you-and you;
ALL Of you-we've got to make the
world Dainty Diana Diaries con-
scious! Do you hear me? II we
don't, I'll put a keg Of powder in
the middle Of this room, and blow

But. Mr.. Jones'" someone be-
gan. We"
Mr.. Jones waved the would-be
speaker to silence.

rushed on, turn out the best
cheese and buffers and canned
milks to be had this side of-of-
the Milky Way. SO what? DO
housewives buy them? Don't make
me Taught The Dainty Diana
Diaries products lie in warehouses,
while a lot Of tripe from other
diaries sells all over this blooming
country Of ours. Why" He didn't
wait for anyone to answer him.
Why? Because there's not an
original idea TO be had In this en-
tire Office. II my entire advertising
STAFF put together its collective
head, all that would result would
be a fairy story that wouldn't hold
the attention Of a kindergarten fun

one street of Stalingrad after three
days Of continuous attacks in the
citys northern factory zone was
acknowledged by the Soviet high

destroyed.
Except at one point. the mid
night Soviet communique related.
all of the fierce Nazi assaults in
the Volga city were thrown back
and in some sectors counter
attacking Russian units were de-
clared Saturday TO have captured
enemy blockhouses and other
strongpoints.
While Stalingrad's defenders
thus continued to deny to the in
vaders the winter shelter they
desperately seek amid the city's
ruins, Soviet planes struck hard at
the foe TO the northwest.
In the central Caucasus the
Russian defenders of the Georgian
