Then came our hero to the res
cue. He snatched the paper from
the throngs of danger just as it
was about to be waited down the
drain.
We just had time to run home
and retype it before the dead-line.

7 MUST report to my readers
Il on a most deplorable situa-
ton in New York City that has
Just come 10 my attention.
The nervous money. or black
market gelt, has suddenly dis
covered the old time high class
and formerly very exclusive
restaurants of the community,
especially those on the upper
East Side and has nudged the
veteran customers of the es-
tablishments out of their favor
ite hooks and corners.
I was moved almost TO tears
the other evening in one of
these places az the sight OF
lady and gentleman who have
been dining there several times
a week for over ten years to
my knowledge seated at
small table practically out in
the middle of a traffic lane
where they were buffeted by
every passing waiter while the
niche that was always reserved
for them in bygone days was
occupied by nylons and shoe
ration coupons and do not ask
me how I know. know.
THE benefciaries of the b. m.
Il were trying 10 read the
French score card upside down,
a mistake l commonly make
myself, a kindly waiter finally
interpreting for them. They
ordered an amount of scoff that
must have set one Of them back
a Jolly $40 or more for party
of three.
Meantime, the lady and gen.
tleman, ordering their custom
ary frugal repast of perhaps
S12 or SIS worth of vittles
looked shame-faced and be-
wildered out there where every
one could observe their humilia-
tion but trying TO present brave
faces TO the world and ] tell
you I was touched. I said TO
myself, Runyon, here in the
midst of social upheaval is
picture of courage to long
remember.
Then l looked around the
room and saw that the couple
were not alone in their igno-
miny. Many other old customers
were lodged in the poorest posi-
tion in the joint while the
favored spots were held by
newcomers to those parts who
gave off that certain delicate
aroma of hot money.
IT REMINDED me of the good
L old bootleg days when all the
"fingside" tables in any popular
deadfall were always corraled
by the more prominent moider-
ers of the day while ordinary
characters with nothing more
10 recommend than respectable
ity were herded to the rear.
And yet in some cases this
shifting of the clientele of upper
case establishments represents
a certainly necessary barter
and exchange. A restaurant
proprietor mindful of the de-
mands of his veteran customers
may find himself compelled TO

business manager as a matter
of course.
Partnership implies mutual
dependence of the parts; but
not necessarily tit-for-tat dIvi-
sion of prime responsibilities.
1t is complementary ar
rangement whereby the con-
tracing parties pool their re-
sources OF goods and character
to cover personal deficiencies.
and together establish substan-
tial wholeness and collective
security.
Thus, If your husband pro-
duces the income but much pre-

His eaSy-going evasion Of re-
sponsibility on this one point
affords interesting testimony
about his character-which tes-
timony is more in his favor
than not,
on the one hand. IL indicates
lack OF aptitude for mathemat-
les and detail; also. ingrained
laziness. which inhibits him
from firmly applying himself 10
mental concentration and pf1ysi-
cal exertions that go against his

But on the .other hand, IL
means your husband hasn't a
