Different In 81
By Hal BOYLE

NEW YORK R-Wilbur PEBBLE
is the kind of guy who puts every
thing off to the last minute.
Looking up from his evening
paper in surprise, he said to his
wife:
"Why, it's New Years Eve to-
night, Trellis Mae! And we haven't
made any plans. What would you
like to do, honey"
what would you like to dor"
she parried.
"0h. don't know" said vii.
bur. Lets do something different
for a change"
you want to do something diff
ferent for changer" she unused,
well, let's see. Remember when
college bows across the country
were swallowing goldfish, AT
New Years Eve party that year
you went 40 the icebOx and tried
TO swallow three pound trout.
Wilbur said nothing, but coughed
a little. The. mere memory Of that
episode always made his throat
feel sore.
Il will skip over the New Years
Eve of l947, when you picked thai
fight with the policeman, said
Trellis Mae. Lets take l94S.
H-m-m-m. We went to a night club
and you loaned $40 to total
stranger from Keokuk, and we
ended up walking home because
you didn't have taxi fare"
Wilbur flushed and chomped
noisily on his breakfast toast.
In l949 we went to your boss's
house." continued his wife, land
you did that tight rope walking
act of yours across the top Of the
sofa. Everybody laughed. but
the boss didn't laugh when you
fell off and broke the floor lamp"
Wilbur put down his fork. He
no longer felt hungry.
And last year" came the pitt
less voice OF his wife, we had
party here. You invited dozen
people / never heard of, and you
arrived four hours late yourself
with fellow you met at bar
and felt sorry for because he was
alone
Il don't remember him at all. ;"
mumbled Wilbur.
''Of course, you do, prodded
Trellis Mae. "He was the gentle
man who kept throwing firecrack-
ers because he said New Years
Eve always gave him Fourth
of July feeling"
How did l know he had fire.

bur. Anyway, why do you always
have TO put everything down in a
little black book? II isn't fair"
Trellis Mae closed the book.
IAN right" she said. Il just
wanted TO refresh your memory.
You said you wanted to do some
thing different this year. Well,
what'il it be? Shall we go to the
zoo and shoot a polar bear?"
Wilbur walked over and pecked
her on the cheek.
"Aw." he said. Tets just stay
home tonight all by ourselves.
Trellis Mae, and watch the new
year come in together
''That'n be real change, my
dear" said his wife, and gave him
warm kiss and sent him off TO
work Then she pulled out her lit
