It had been a storage room until the housing shortage became prevalent, Then old Mrs. Root, feeling sympath- etic toward the plight of Janet and Craig Norris, newly married and homeless had cleared it out, partition. ed it off into two small rooms and rented it to them. ° That was just 13 months ago, Janet remembered, dropping her gloves on the table and lighting the lamp with the same gesture. They had been mar: ried only three weeks, just long enough to realize they were impos- ing on Craig's family who were cramm ed for quarters themselves. Just a week ago they had the quar- rel that had sent Craig from the apartment. It had been a blow to his pride from the day of 'their wedding that Janet should continue working. She'enjoyed her position in the adver- tising firm where she had risen from a clerk to copy writer in just two years. Since she left the house after Craig in the morning and returned before him in the evening, she never felt her working interfered in any way with her household duties. But friends had spoiled everything with their snide remarks about "poor Janet still working," and it was snore than Craig could bear. "They think I can't support you!" he'd storm at her, but the more he pleaded the more adamant she had become. and now he was gone. The whole thing seemed so impor- tant now. She glanced at the tele- phone half-inclined to call him home, but her owns recalcitrant nature refus- ed to allow such a move. She turned on the radio instead and pretended the tears that welled in her eyes at the strains of "Silent Night" were merely tears of weariness after the preparation of the office' party that morning. Deliberately she opened the dresser drawer to put away last night's ironing. Her souvenir box loomed temptingly before her. Lifting the cover, shestared at the items she had collected: Craig's class ring, ex- changed for a diamond after their graduation from college; a pressed orchid, one of those ghe had carried at her wedding; various cards, Christmas, anniversary, birthday, val. entine. She picked up a small gift t card and read again, "To my dear Wife, Janet, on our first Christmas." It was the card with the watch he had given her last year. Trembling, she closed the box, and turned quickly from the dresser. Sire had been a fooL she decided. Without Craig, Christmas could never hold the same meaning for her, as it once had. Sire didn't stop to lock the door for there was nothing of value anyone could steal from her. Even her $100 Christmas bonus lying on the table went unnoticed. The one tiring she must not lose was happiness, and that was no longer in her home with Craig Certified Watchmaker gone. She hurried into her coat as she started breathlessly down the 31/2 flight of stairs. Tears coursed down her cheeks and she prayed with fan- tastic zest that she was not too late. As she reached the last flight of stairs, sire crashed into a figure who was hurrying up, as oblivious of his surroundings as she. She gasped at the impact, but the man quickly re- gained his balance and caught her be- fore she could fall. "Janet!" he cried. She looked at hint almost in dis- belief. Then, throwing her arms about him, she gave full vent to her tears. "Oh, Craig! Darling I was just cont- FREE Gift Wrapping Service ling for you." He kissed her and held her tightly. ]"Janet, I've been such a fool I didn't !realize until tonight what an awful 'thing pride can be. Will you ever for- give me?" I She sighed. "There's nothing to for- i give, Craig. I was the one who was !wrong. I'm going to quit my job right away. "No, you mustn't. I don't want to deprive you of any happiness and if you want to work, I'm not ;going to stop you," She laughed shakily. "We'll argue that out later, shall we?" Arm in arm they climbed up the stairs.
