he said.
But not as much" Gloria
said, falling back on the opti-
mistic cliche that all wives use
and none as ever found to work.
Before the conversation could
get around to the subject of
whether a dirty, unstarched shirt
is superior to a clean. starched
one-which will have to be set
tied some day-Mrs. Stewart
changed the subject.
Get the face cloth, she said.
Dutifully. her husband headed
for the bathroom. He returned
not only with a blue face cloth
but small yellow capsule.
This" he said with an admir-
ing glance at Gloria, lis the
greatest invention since the last
greatest invention. "You won't
believe it. but this wash cloth
(holding up the blue one) was
originally this tholding up the
small capsule). You drop this
(the capsule) into a glass, or a
wash basin, the paper dissolves
and it comes out face cloth.
never did know why hotels do
not supply face cloths. but since
Gloria discovered these, no
longer care"
Further conversation devel-
oped. that the condensed face
cloths. or whatever they are
called, can be bought at hotel |
drugs stores; and that if hotels |
can launder bath towels, face
: towels and other linen from |
guest to guest. they should be
able to do the same for face
cloths.

This is the way it is with the |
Stewards. They were here in
connection with promoting 1.-The |
Glenn Miller Story" in which |
Jim plays the title role. But it is

meetings what with the Stewards |
interested in so many things. |
Such as, say, the game of Scrab-
BILE.
I'VE play it on the train"
Gloria says, speaking as a Wom- |
an who spends lot of time on |
trains.
1T is not an easy game to play |
on trains" Jim puts in. Some |
one ought to invent tiles with |
rubber backs. That way maybe
they'd stay in place when the /
train lurches or wheels around a
curve"
"Once We lost a letter." Gloria |
says. land what letter do you
think it WASP"
$ e." someone said. there be-
ing only one ~" among the los
tiles of a set cat least our set.
Wrong" said Gloria. 1T was
the O." There is also only one
20" and to leave Scrabble players
in no suspense. the porter found
1t by taking the train virtually
apart. You can't of course, buy

whole new Scrabble set unless
you are lucky.
The Stewards. with a partner

theme
AS an entertainer who went
into the service himself (as a
bomber pilot in his own case), he
picked up a number of glints of
the experience. His likeness to
the famed bandsman who was
killed in action in France made
him a natural for the role. Uni

Stewart, himself does not
know about that. But he did
enjoy playing the role. And
learning how to feign skill on
the trombone. This is the in
