Solomon knew the answer when
he was in a similar fix. But
Solomon was smarter than Dan

IL can get along without Dan McGarry as an
MP, and Dams not having any of these dis
charged-veteran troubles you hear about He
reconverts as easy as Jeep This is because
he's back on the city force as plain-clothes cop
and carrying on as before only now he's
arresting guys in civilian clothes instead of the
military, which is somehow more satisfactory.
So what with his old job and his mouse Kitty
and plenty of gas for his jalopy, and Christ
mas coming up, Dan is just about the happiest
guy in town.
''Ill be off duty at noon Christmas Eve
he tells Kitty few days before the big day
The boys at headquarters are planning little
party for the afternoon. But I'll only take
few, and Ill be here in time to take you out to
dinner and then come back and trim your tree"
Kitty frowns. Il had planned things differ

well" Dan says, IF your mother wants us
to eat dinner here, it's all right with me-
Kitty shakes her head. The St. Johns
Ladies Aid is giving a Christmas party for
underprivileged babies. promised you'd play
Santa Claus and hand out toys"
ANY other time" Dan says, Il will person
ally give the underprivieged babies each a
piggyback around the block But ="
'Oh, Dan! What would those poor babies
Christmas be without Santa Claus!'
This does it. There is nothing like the fes-
tive season to defrost a softie like Dan. IF
you put it that way" he says, "I'll be there"
I'm counting on you, says Kitty. 'All the
kiddies will be counting on you"
But, on Christmas Eve, so is the Chief In
spector counting on him.
1t all starts when the police sergeant sends
for him and another plain-clothes cop named
Slattery. He tells them to get themselves
police car and go to Central Station for spe-
cial assignment. Someone special is coming to
town, and the Chief Inspector wants everything
to go smooth.
well be there when they roll out the red
carpet" says Dan. si'What time is the guys
train due?"
"At noon" says the Sergeant. "And it amt
a guy. It's twenty DANES"
Dan sees himself riding herd on that many
females and he doesn't like it bit. That
ten for each," he says. "You ought to send
whole platoon. Ones about my limit.
These danes won't give any trouble" the
Sergeant explains They're the British wives
that American soldiers marry overseas, and
the Army is bringing them over here so they
can be with their husbands again"
eff those CTS marry them," complains Dan
''the least they can do is meet the train"
The CTS are stationed out west Some are
waiting reassgnment, some are hospitalized.
The danes are just passing through - in town
four hours between trains"
There's a good burlesque show at the
Gaiety," says Slattery hopefully. well take
