thinks will happen.
Dear Miss Robinson:
After the war II would be a
wonderful thing II modern wo-
men would return TO the home.
giving their positions TO the re-
turning soldiers but this will not
be done. II was not done after
the last war, and there are more
women in defense work now
than ever before in our history.
Women will have learned TO
enjoy independence and a large
income much too well TO 90 back
TO household chores.
Those who will prefer 10 stay
in the home and raise a family
will be few and far between.
Even though they are married,
they will want TO keep their
good paying positions
Women should gracefully
step aside and make room for
returning members of the armed
forces, in this way showing their
gratitude for their service to
their country. But there will not
be many 10 do this"

Short Story

TOM was happy lie sat
back IN his swivel chair and
folded his hands behind his
head and thought OF all the
youthful escapades he had gone
through.
The things he had done in his
youth used 10 frighten him.
Now they were so vague
For he was now Mr.. Tom
Drummond, office manager for
Topkins, Inc. And his wife was
none other than Marigold
Smythe Drummo nd, only
daughter OF Henry Smythe.
SO Tom was fairly happy. He
wasn't completely happy be-

didn't like him and refused 10
hide II. And Marigold cared for
nothing more than social func-
tons. teas and hairdressers.
But it was sufficient happi-
ness 10 suit Tom. He really
loved Marigold, even after he
realized the shalowneSs Of her
character.
Tom was weighing all these
things when a man walked in.
A STRENGTHENING man.
How did YOU get in here7"
Tom asked.
The man showed stained
teeth.
Tom glared at him. what
do YOU want?" he said.
You returned the man
easily.
Like said before the man
stated, Il want you. You're
Tom Drummond. And here's
what's on my mind" lie leaned
across the desk, resting on
spread fingertips. and he whiS-
pered softly to Tom.
Tom reached for the phone.

broke abruptly as the other
man grabbed the phone.
Naughty, naughty said the
man, softly. THE cops won't
help you. Because II the cops
come, Mr.. Drummond. I'll tell
them why I'm shaking you
down. And you wouldn't want
that in the papers, would your"
Tom sat back. He was white

for a man like you. The tellerS

A few minutes later Tom
