A dozen men stood along the

THE eastbound Gotham Limited
L ctreaked across the rich lake
plain of western New York, its
whirling wheels clicking out a
refrain that echoed in Jean
Saunders imagination as she sat
in the observation car:
you're headed for the greatest
{ town of ALL" the wheels reiter-
ated as they sped over the rails.
Listening to the rapid meas
ures of their music, Jean looked
up half-absently when a, small,
elderly woman, wearing d black
silk dress, black lose-ftting bon
net and black high-buttoned
shoes, approached her seat and
stood hesitantly beside her.
SIS this seat taken?", she asked
timidly. Jean noted that every
thing about her seemed to have
emerged from the year 1905 with
out alteration.
NO." Jean answered cordially.
The woman, apparently shy, sat
down and looked out the window
for few moments without
speaking.
What sweet little creature"
Jean reflected. probably the
first time she's been away from
home since her wedding trip"
Still silent, the woman opened
her old-fashioned purse, reached
inside, pulled out a cork-tipped
cigarette and casually tapped it's
end on her wrist. She produced
an angular modernistic lighter
and lit the cigarette with a sin
gle, practiced flick of her thumb.
jeans eyes widened involuntarily
as her unpredictable neighbor
inhaled deep draught, paused a
moment and then exhaled it in
a long, leiSurely cloud of smoke
that curled against the train
window.
The little woman turned, look
ing into jeans face with a sly,
mischievous grin.
"You were thinking that the
cigarette and the get-up don't
quite jibe," she said.
T-why, :" Jean stumbled
over the words.
GAS a matter of fact, they

broadly. Il just dragged these

herself. "You see, l ran away
from a whiStle-stop town upstate
about forty years ago to elope
with an actor. st. George and l
are still married, and we've got
a little repertory company out in
Pasadena that's doing quite
nicely"
She took another deep drag
and warmed to her subject. &
Il haven't visited some of MY
relatives since we were married;
they were sure that show business
was an extra-fare ticket to perdi-
ton. But this year, my husband.
and our two boys finally per-
suaded me to visit friends in
Cleveland and then go on to the
