The cab stopped midway down the block.
He stepped out first, and held out his hand.
Il think you'll like my dinner and my apart
ment," he said. That leaves only me-
''You grow on one. " She gave him her hand.
The high -ceilinged bedroom was in front.
It had been the brownstone's dining room in
the old days, he explained. The living room
was in the center. 1t was simply and COM
fortably furnished, with brick fireplace,
many shelves of books and radio cabinet.
Behind it was the new kitchen - formerly
the buffers pantry.
Her eyes glowed as he showed her around.
1t was makeshift, made-over home, but
very real home, and it had been long time
since she'd known anything like it. Its mar
velous," she said. Aren't you afraid some
woman will try to marry you for your lease?"
Want to move in?''
She frowned
''Oh, l won't be here" he added. I'm
taking trip soon. Be gone month or so.
The place will be empty" He stood at the
rear window. Come and see my garden"
he said. you might be impolite and call it
a piece of back alley with fence around it.
But there's bit of real earth, and three
petunias have survived"
She looked out. In the center stood an
orange -and-blue striped beach umbrella
Beneath it were terrace chair and chaise
Tongue and glass-topped table. There was
small circular flower bed.

But don't talk. don't like conversation

records if you want have quite oollec-

eat out there. Turn the chair so you won't
have to look at the neighbors' wash. Clean
people, my neighbors. The wash is always
out"
She nodded and, going out, sank into the
chaise tongue. She could hear him moving
about in the kitchen, rafting pans and dishes.
Then came the music - he'd put on rec
ord. His head appeared at the window.
Strauss. always cook to Strauss waltz.
The head withdrew, and she smiled. She'd
thought some noisy, crowded place would be
best tonight. But no. This, and this man
who went with it, were best. He was queer
mixture - oddly solemn, yet boyish.
The sun was sinking behind warehouse.
A faint breeze found its way through the mar
row alleys between the buildings. The smell
of the charcoal burned steak reached her.
She wished he'd hurry. She was hungry now.
HE CAME out bearing huge tray, and left,
to return again with bottle of burgundy.

He found his hat and they went in silence
to the elevator. Still in silence they crossed
the lobby. Outside, he opened the door of
cab at the curb. He spoke quietly to the
driver and climbed in beside her, and her eyes
sharpened. Il thought we were going Our

Mot at ALL" He settled himself comfort
ably. Il live downtown, on West Twenty

"And l live uptown on East Sixty-hrst.

Il asked if you wanted to go home" he
broke in "You said yes. When person says
home he's naturally referring to his own. I'd
like to cook you a dinner at my place"
She glanced at him quickly. She'd hoped
he would ask her to dinner. He was likable,
he might be amusing, she could be comfort
ably at ease with him. But she'd built her
defenses well over the past five years in New
York, and habit was strong. She said coolly,
Aren't there any restaurants OPEN"
MY cooking is far superior" he said.
I'm sure it will be cozy,' she nodded.
"And after dinner III wash and you'll dry.
After that - Oh, come! Let's not be this

against the cushion. 'All those cocktails

He leaned forward. Driver, this young lady

the House District Committee for
approval at its next session Thurs

D. T.. Director Studie!
plea for Public Aid
In Cancer Registry

The feasibility of an appeal to
the public for money to establish
a cancer record registry in the
Health Departments bureau of can
Ger control is being considered by
DR.. Jay Mclean, director of the
bureau.
DR.. Mclean said yesterday that
such a registry was essential in the
fight to control cancer. Without it
continuing picture of the good
that is being done. cannot be estab-
lished. The registry would cost
about 100000 year to operate, he
added. .....
He said the plan he was con-
sidering to get the registry started
without waiting and
trying to get money included in the
1850 budget-was possible if the Dis
trict Commissioners gave permis-
sion. He said he probably would
ask them to do so through Health
Officer George Rutland.
1t is legal for citizens to con-
tribute to the municipal govern
ments expenses-if they so desire
by sending the money to the Com
missioners earmarked for the cancer
record registry, he explained.
Such a registry would enable the
bureau to tell just how much good
the present cancer treatment is do
ing by following cancer patients
through to their death. Connecticut
now has such a registry in oper-
alton, the only State which does
he said. The registry would depend
on the cooperation of the local
hospitals and doctors to report
cases, he added.
The reason he gave for wanting
to start the registry Immediately
was that if it were opened now
the data collected during the can
Ger survey completed last year could
be incorporated. If it had to wait
until 1850 or later, most of that data
would be lost, he said.
