ance on April l, 1850.
Names of those to go in the
first group will be submitted by

In This own apartment, Bills
thoughts reverted to the Hanna
ford farm. He had six weeks to
choose whetherhe was a city slicker
or a farmer. A farmer, as Sam
Hannaford had said, needed a
woman and children. Bill had not
met any woman he could fancy
as a farmers wife. He might adver-
tise, he reflected. Wanted: Strong
attractive young woman, willing to
get up at six in the morning, feed
pigs and chickens, bear children. ID
EVERY Wednesday, he and Alex
left the Office early and went to a
gymnasium where they played
handball. This Wednesday, the
procedure seemed inane and ridic-
ulous to Bill. Two grown men try

Hannaford's abdomen was as fiat
as the proverbial pancake.
When he reached his apartment
house, a young man in a dinner
jacket was escorting Charlotte
Currier toward a taxi. She smiled
and said, "Hello!" and Bill expert
enced a swift, sharp emotion which
startled him. She was wearing an
evening gown of honey-colored
lace, and a jade taffeta cape par
tally covered her bare neck and
shoulders. The fingers of Bills
right hand clenched. He wanted to
punch the young man and go put
on his own dinner jacket.
He said, Hello, yourself" and
went into the house. A small drab
bird in the spindling maple tree
below his window chirped, and Bill
said. "Shut up!" venomously. ..

Bill said, May l come in for
five minutes?" and Charlotte said,
Five. And don't let Aladdin out"
He closed the door and stood
silently watching her turn on the
table lamps, toss her wrap over
the back of a chair.
Want something to eat?" she
asked. "A glass of MILK"
NO." said Bill. He wanted to
kiss her, and he did. You're so

Before he returned to Lost
Weekend, the Kings house, Bill
Rodman wrote out a check for
$500 for six-weeks' option on the
farm - with WHY'S money. He
made no mention of the trans
action to Alex or Sally.
On Tuesday afternoon, he met
Charlotte Currier on the sidewalk.
She looked even prettier than he
remembered her, in gabardine
suit and frilled blouse, her arms
full of grocery bags.
How are you doing?" he asked.
Fine" she said. Aladdin is
mad about the place. He caught a
mouse last week, and now spends
all his time sitting beside the
mousehole.
II WAS just going out to dinner"
said Bill. Would you take pity on
lonely man and come with me?"
Il was just going in to dinner"
said Charlotte. Aladdin and

Would that interest you?"
Her apartment was in order, and
twas attractive. Bill made cock
tails in his rooms and carried them
across the hall.

of onions frying in salt pork came
from her kitchenette. Bill stood at
