As she reached the lounge she saw that it had

THE COCKTAIL lounge
Il was very crowded and
loisy. Under the loud hum

noisy. Under the lOud mum
of conversation flowed the music from the two
pianos in the corner, rich as cream They
were playing the old songs, and Fran, sitting
so close to Gordon, thought that it was the
last perfect touch After all, she and Gordon
had once thought they were in love, and now
the music seemed to bring it all back, gay and
exciting, just as this tiny, crowded place was
somehow gay and exciting
Fran gazed around her. flushed and bright
eyed. After two Martins, she felt wonderful
- as if the people around her, the music and
Gordon had diffused into delightful pink
haze. There was delicious sensation of purest
happiness inside her; she wanted to throw
out her arms and cry: oh l love everybody"
Gordons dark eyes smiled into hers Glad
we metz" he said.
''Oh, yes!" A dimple flashed in Fran's
cheek. 1t had all been so unexpected, her
coming out of Altman's with all her bundles
and humping into Gordon. After the mutual
delighted explanations. he had taken her
elbow and said: You're having drink with
me. It's been twelve years" And she had
thrilled little at his frnness and thought:
Why not? Bill won't mind. and it will be fun.
And it ,0as fun. She felt nineteen again and
foolishly gay. Why. it was incredible to be-
lieve that only two hours ago she had been
buying rubbers for her two children.
Look, Gordon said suddenly. Cant
we stretch this out? Have dinner, too, where
there's music?" His voice became low. Its
been long time between dances. Fran"
She was shocked at herself for not being
shocked. well :. 4" she said. She smiled
into his eyes: it seemed to her that she could
not stop smiling. "All right. Bills always
spouting about being modern about things
like this" She picked up her purse and edged
out of her chair. This is the first chance I've
ever had to call his bluff"
Gordon got up, too. And suddenly their
eyes met and they both laughed. Fran said:
"Oh. Gordon, this is fun! l feel so daring -
almost like fallen woman"
All the way to the foyer, she smiled. In the
booth as she dialed the number there was

BILL replaced the receiver after talking to
Fran and walked thoughtfully into the living
room, his hands in his pockets. On the way,
he passed the two children playing quietly on
the dining room floor and he looked at Debbie
and thought: She is pale kid. He guessed
he'd exaggerated about the color.
Bruce looked up. Daddy" he said. will

At that moment, Agnes came in from the

Bill looked at her. well -" he said He

The thought of the telephone conversation
came back to him, and now he felt twinge of

Students learn about kinds of
hearing loss, too, and why they
don't hear certain sounds. Tele-
phone training is important to
persons with impaired hearing.
Ampliflers are sometimes used but
if a hard-of-hearing person can
handle a regular telephone he is
not limited to successful use of

The important thing for the

lip reading is largely a matter of

The various positions the lips

it is important that students

Rhymed Salad Dressinq

on his salads outdid himself the
other evening on the dressing for
a simple mixed green salad. When
asked for the recipe he would only
smile mysteriously and say that
it was Poetic Dressing" This,
Of course, was little or no help

of st. Paul's Cathedral when Vic
