the thin, sensual lips the ever-merry look in
those cold gray eyes. Hollis hair had thinned

that wasn't unbecoming.
Tom thought of the times they d gone away
together on business. of those night clubs in
Chicago and the girls they'd invited to join
them at their table. There were parties he'd
been on with Roy Holt before he and Julie
were married that he'd never told her about,
and probably never would.

and chairman of the board have had their
crackers and milk by now" He seemed to be
feeling pretty good. We've time to show the
campaign to them before catch that train"

Using executive putting over delicate point.
But his timing was little off. The fact was.
Chef was supposed to contact Roy Holt.
That had been the agreement when Tom had
left for the Army.
Chef smiled, but his smile didn't even lift
the worry lines from the corners of his eyes.

Looking at Chefs tired face, Tom decided
to let it ride Then Chef added. Il would

CHET had the other good account. Baby

their agencies, they'd thought it was good
setup to have under one roof: a soap account
and a food account. Andersen and Graham.
At the time Chef Graham had said something
about the combination of youth and expert
ence. Chef was the experience.
Tom was few feet from their table now.
Julie and Roy Holt both looked up at once.
Julie said. 'Oh. Tomr' There was stardust
in her eyes, For me? he wondered.
He kissed her - and almost wished he

IT WAS. Tom was co-ordinator for new

general had said to him, Il know you wanted
to see action, but you're the one man in a
thousand -a high pressure executive who's
had engineering at college. And you're some

going to let Roy see it until you until
tomorrow. But he phoned and said he was
leaving town this afternoon, and that Ia

Tom picked up piece of the typewriter

it through. For moment he was almost

would not make people ask for Crown in
stead of some other soap. 1t wouldn't sell
enough Crown soaps to pay for the space.
No, it wasn't sound. Advertising wasn't an
exact science, but there were things that had
been tested over and over again. Basic appeals.
Tom felt something like anger creeping up
from the back of his neck. 1t couldn't be

her for 50 long that he was aching to take her
in his arms, now, this instant. to forget about
