The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1944-07-20

Although Cpl. Ernest L. Bell is in
hospital in Italy, recovering from
wounds received in action, he did
not forget his fifth wedding ami
versary. 1t seems that each year,
on their wedding anniversary, he
has given bis wife, who lives at
1923 Hamilton Boulevard, a bou-
quet of roses and this year was no
exception, for on July she re-
ceived a beautiful bouquet from
Ernest and, as if that wasn't enough,
he also sent her a lovely Italian
bracelet and necklace.
We have just received V-mail
letter from the corporal, that we
would like to pass on to you. Here
it is:
Il have beside me your paper
dated May II, that has followed me
from the States to a depot; to my
outfit; then to a hospital section
and from there to this hospital,
where l received it today (the letter
was dated July III.
IF anyone tells you that they do
not like to read the news that is
only printed once a week, you can
tell them about me being glad to
get it over here seven weeks after it
was printed. Some people go for
the funnies or the front page first,
but not me. Give me the page
with Behind Home Plate first.
Speaking of behind was be-
hind the Jerry lines once and that's

Ed. note: Thanks lot for your
letter Ernest Now that we are
sending the paper direct to the hos
pital, we hope you don't have to
wait so long for it. The Owls, af-
ter leading the league all season,
have suddenly gone into a tail

Nellie began collecting glasses.
Pumping up cushions, straighten-
ing rugs and books. Irene moved to
help her but Nellie said under her
breath, "No, you sit down, Mrs.
Norman, you don't need to do this
and you know you shouldn't, just
now"
Irene grew scarlet. Apparently
you could keep matters from Mat
thew but not from Nellie. Before
she could answer, Nellie chuckled.
Il seen what you've been eating,
and not eating"
Matthew was chewing on a dead
pipe, sitting with legs stretched out
in big chair. He commented,
Heavens, it's hot!" And asked,
yawning, What are you two gos-
siping about?"
Nothing" replied Irene. 81 was
just telling Nellie that her aspic
had never been so good. I thought
Bill Taylor would burst"
Naturally" said Matthew,
Nellie never fails" He smiled.

tired. Irene, come here. I'm too
comfortable to move"
The room was tidy. Order had
been restored. So Nellie went to
bed.
Irene sat on the arm Of her hus-
bands chair and he pulled her down
on his lap. "Well, old lady" he
said eententedly, "three years. A
long time for any woman to hold a
man like me-" He laughed and
hugged her. "I'm a very fortunate
guy" he added. wife like you,
mother like mine, couple of swell
partners. You don't think Hilda's
going to make any trouble?" he
asked, depressing, "she's an ambi-
tious little piece, jealous too, I
think"
"She should be ambitious" said
Irene, land she's awfuliy in love
with Sam"
"Oh, sure, I Just wondered,
though. That emergency of Sans
tonight. Very interesting case"
He yawned again. Lucky we are,"
he said drowsily, "plenty of pa
tients and among them, thank God,
half a dozen worried chronics.
Those are the ones who pay the
bills"
Irene murmured family, II think
I'll go to bed"
She felt very ill, immoderately
exhausted. Matthew loosened his
grasp, and looked at her.
Whats the matter?" he de-
manded sharply.
She did not answer. The shadows
under her lids and her eyelids them
selves were blue, as if bruised. He
rose, with her in his arms, carried
her to the bedroom and put her on
the bed. She was not unconscious.
He took her pulse and frowned.
She said, low, "I'm all right
don't fuss"
"Nellie!"
Nellie came at the double. She
looked into the bedroom.
Get me some spirits of ammonia
and step on it,"
Nellie brought the bottle, a glass,
and a teaspoon. The rim of the
glass clattered against Irene's
teeth, and a little liquid spilled.
Presently the color came back in
her face. Nellie said, '"She's all
right"

is, Mary"
II know. He'll be delighted, Of
course, it's what he's wanted, and
you can afford it now
"Can we? 1t seems to me that
we spend a good deal. Yet you're
always so generous" said Irene.
She looked at her mother-in-law,
her blue eyes direct and troubled.
"Too generous, l think. l would
have liked another year in the
Office. OF course l can go on, for
quite a while"
That's nonsense" declared Mary
firmly, "you mustn't even consider
it."
"I1l be all right, but Matthew
must have competent Office nurse,
and that means more expense"
"You aren't to worry about that"
"But I do" She added, Anyway,
when we get someone else I'll want
to be there to train her."
Mary asked, amused, How much
training goes into that, my dear?
That is, if you find a nurse who
can type and keep books, as you do
. the treatments she'll be called
upon to give are in line with her
original training and surely she'll
be able to answer a telephone, make
appointments, and be pleasant to
the most trying patient"
IL know" said Irene patiently,
"but there's more than that" She
regarded Mary soberly. Matthew
likes things just so. He, very me-
ticulous."
~ know" agreed Matthew's
mother. "If ever a man loved order
and was utterly incapable of Great
ing it, himself, you married him."
She drew Irene toward her and
kissed her forehead. "My dear, do
tell him, tonight. He will, naturally,
make you leave the Office, but you
mustn't be too sorry. You should
know better than anyone how essen
tial rest is for you, and for the baby.
It's worth any amount of sacrifice,
for US all"
Irene smiled wanly. "And as this
also is Matthew's baby l suppose
he'll be strong as an OK and impa-
tient and rebellious.
"He?"
"I think So" replied Irene, flush
ing.
Lynn, outside, raised his voice.
when are you coming Mary? I
have to be in court tomorrow at,
practically, the crack of dawn"
Irene followed Mary out of the
room and stood saying goodbye to
her and Lynn. She thought, GER
tainly not for the first time, they
should be married, these two. She
didn't talk about this to Matthew
nowadays. He didn't agree with
her. The first time she had spoken
of it, he said in amazement and with
quite obvious revulsion that he
couldn't imagine his mother mar

Mary Norman was there, anC
Lynn Mortimer. Mary had lost
weight, she was working very hard
but her slenderness became her
and her serene face was not drawn
or Aaggard. In the last six months
her hair had started to turn gray, in
little silvery streaks. Tonight,
wearing thin, cool green in defer
ence to the midsummer heat, she
looked very lovely. Lynn Mortimer
could not take his eyes from her.
But then, he rarely could.
Kate had come to serve and Nell
lies buffet supper was a master
piece. Sam contributed the cham
pagne, Bill brought extravagant
cartons of cigarettes, and everyone
was very gay.
Mary sat in a deep chair after
supper and watched Irene. She
looked, Mary thought, wretched.
How wise, Mary told herself, that
persuaded her not to try to take
over the X-ray work.
Matthew had the rugs rolled
back, he was dancing to radio music
with Bills plain, pleasant girl in
his arms. He was warning her,
"You don't know what you're get
ting into ask Irene, she'll tell
you. Girls who marry doctors are
nuts"
What about Hilda Morley ?"
"0h, she's a bride" countered
Matthew carelessly, "she hasn't dis
covered q single flaw, as yet" He
looked over at Sam dancing with
his little wife and at Bill, talking
to Lynn Mortimer.
Later Matthew danced with his
mother. She said quietly, as he
guided her deftly about the little
room, "Irene's doing too much"
"She's never ILL.," he asserted.
II didn't mean that she was ill.,"
~You two" he said laughing;
"she fuses over you, you fuss over
her. What's wrong with you wom-
en-? AS II you had anything to
worry about, with me to look after
you both"
Nevertheless when, a little later,
Sam was called out on an emer-
gency and left, taking Hilda with
him, and the party broke up, Mary
fingered, beckoning Irene into the
bedroom, while Lynn waiting for
her, talked with Matthew.
"Irene."
"Yes."
"You're not well, are you!"
They understood each other, these
two.
Irene sat down on the edge of her
bed. She looked very white as she
said reluctantly, 81 suppose so. It's
natural enough, Mary, as expect a
baby"
"My dearw Mary sat down be-
side her, and put her arm around
the younger woman. How wonder
full! It's what I've hoped for, of
course. But Matthew" (She
thought with quick tightening
of her heart, Why didn't he tel
me? What does he say?"
"He doesn't know. l wasn't sure
myself until today. l slipped away
at the lunch hour, when Matthew
was making calls, and saw DR.. Lem
ing you know, Matthews old

Five hits and three errors in the

Company their first win of the

The BaptiSts were without the

ment. However, Lemons was hold
ing the pole-climbers until the
fourth.
The Baptist's weakness on short
right field was apparent as five
hits TO that sector were tailed,
although errors at first, second and
third accounted for more runs than
the hits of the Telephone team.
Since neither team had won a
game this season, and the Tele-
phone team had gone without vic
tory for two years of summer play,
it had been anticipated the game
would be decided by which team
would make the least errors. After
the Baptists performance against
the Marine Flyers last week, they
were expected to give the Phone
boys more competition.
The phone team had four earned
runs, off eight hits, and made three
errors. The Baptists went without
a hit and made seven errors.
