was a dream honeymoon, d
Cathy reveled in it.
The shops, the theaters, IN e
night clubs were fun; the Fifth
Avenue buses, lurching like
huge elephants along the most
glamorous street in the world,
were fun, too; she loved the SUBJ
way, to Bills intense, fond
amusement. They visited the
museums, the planetarium, the
200, and all the many places
that heretofore had been merely
intriguing names to Cathy.
Cathy was fascinated by h e
Automat, and Bill, as sympa-
thetic as though she were five
years old and big-eyed before an
incredible visit from Santa
Claus, indulged her. They
strolled down Broadway one
evening when the street was at
it's most exciting best; just after
dark, when the fairyland of
lights was blazing, and the
street packed with people
strolling as they were.

Subscribers To Be Inform.
ed By "Beep" Warning
Signals

WASHINGTON, Nov. % - W.n)
- Wire tapping on telephone
used in interstate and foreign
service will have the okay of the
Federal Communications com
mission on and after Jan. Is,
provided the subscribers know
their conversations are being re-
corded.
The FEC ordered today all
telephone companies to cancel
any regulations they may now
have forbidding use of the re-
cording devices.
Beginning Jan. Is, subscribers
may attach recorders to their
telephones to transcribe inter-
state and foreign calls. When
the recorder is in operation, an
automatic warning signal will
sound at regular intervals to no
tify both parties that their con-
versation is being recorded. The
device can be disconnected for
intra-state calls.
The commission authorized
use of standard "beep" signal
for this purpose. It will resem-
BILE the standard busy signal but
will be pitched much higher. 1t
will last for about one-fifth of a
second and will be repeated at
intervals of about IS seconds.
Telephone companies were in
structed to undertake an ap-
propriate publicity program" to
inform subscribers that the re-
corders are going to be put into
service and to acquaint them
with the warning signals

He paid the taxi, took her suit

He paid the taxi, took her suit
case, and turned with her to the
hotels parking lot where the ia
miliar blue convertible stood
waiting. He put her into the car,
slowed her bag in the rumble
with his own, and came swiftly
around to get in beside her.
He brought down from the lit
tie shelf at the back of the seat
square cellophane florists
box, through which there was
the gleam of white orchids,
crisp and very pleased with
their own beauty.
81 always like my brides to
wear orchids," he told her,
beaming at her while, with a
mist of happy tears in her eyes,
she pinned the orchids to the
shoulder of the smart new green
suit the suit Maggie had said
would be ideal for her "going-
away. suit when she and Bill
vent away on their honeymoon!
How right Maggie had been,
Cathy told herself tremulously.
Bill sighed happily and said,
Ready, sweet? All set?
All set,' she told him, with
a reckless feeling of throwing all
doubt and fear behind her.
Then here we go-all aboard
for paradise!" said Bill, and
sent the car out of the parking
lot and away from town, toward
the state border, eighty miles
away.
They were married in the first
little town across the border. A
little town that, because it was
just across the border line IN
state where there was no wal
ing for a marriage license, had
achieved a good deal of local
fame as a "Gretna Green"
Bill had chosen a small white
church, shaded by age-old live
oaks. A neat white-painted cot
tage beside it was the parson-
age, and here a thin, tall old
man with snowy hair and the
gentlest blue eyes Cathy had
ever seen read the marriage
service for them, in a warm and
mellow voice which told them
that he never tired of the beau
tiful old words no matter how
often he read them. His plump,
motherly wife and a pleasantly
thrilled neighbor woman, who
happened to be calling on the
minister and his wife, were the
witnesses.
Later, as Bill and Cathy were
driving north, she said huskily,
"Thank you for not making it a
justice of the peace and a dingy
little office somewhere"
"Did you think I'd let you. in
for that, sweet l knew you'd
want minister and a few of
the trimmings" said Bill, and
kissed her.
Some hours later they stopped
for the night at a small, old
fashioned roadside inn. Th ere
were trees close around the big,
two-storied white frame build
ing, trees whose rustling
branches whispered through the
wide open windows; and the
scent of the country ryside,
fragrant with spring, came to
them. It was, after all, beau

From the Stage.
That doesn't mean Greg's next
part will be that of a villain. He's
cast as an English barrister, re-
porter, and an American lawyer IN
his next three movies.
Peck, 30. came to Hollywood from
the New York stage, to which he
turned after giving up medicine and
driving. Greta, a non-professional
has theatrical background. Some
say she's Greg's best agent. She
was secretary to Katharine Cornell
when they were married in 1912.
They have two sons, Jonathan, ~,
and Stephen, 6 months. Jon, brown
haired and brown eyed, takes after
Greg. Stephen has the Nordic
blue eyes and yellow hair of his
pretty mother.
Neither Greg nor Greta is i'm
pressed with his prominence in the
movie industry. They think it's
wonderful, though, that Greg is
gaining recognition as good actor.
That, rather than money or fame,
is Gregs goal.
