(Each week in this space will be presented a picture and word portrait of someone whose name is news.) •Lieut. Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, youngest deputy chief of staff the United States army has ever had, is an enemy of red tape and long- winded, confusing statements. He summed up the long congressional discussions on drafting fathers with “we must have enough men in the army to win the war.” •He Is known as a ruthlessly honest Scotch- Irishman. Friendship to him, it has been said, is strictly confined to his social world and does not enter into his military work. He plays no favorites. This reputation possibly may have been a factor in his appointment to the board of experts which investigated the Hawaiian at tack on December 7, 1941. t • McNarney is next in line to General Marshall, chief of staff. His life has been devoted to the Lieut. Gen. Joseph army. He served in the air force in France in T. McNarney World War I and still likes to fly occasionally.

X W HEN he was a young man Keene was poor, hard-work ing, shy. Now he was wealthy, get ting gray, and unconsciously eager to take a big bite of enjoyment from life. v or the sumn er .season he had ! taken a cottage in the country, and the promise of complete content ment came in the form of a cook. She was a country woman from nearby, without references, but with unwonted skill in preparing dishes simple and delectable, such dishes as a man of humble beginnings yearns for. Then he met Sally Boyd! She was walking in the woods between her father’s estate and his own cottage. He met her often. She was young, audacious, alluring, and he fell in love with her. She swept 40 years of shyness from him—and she loved him. She was naughty and elfish and was not at all the materializa tion of his dream woman, but the dream woman faded forever. Noth ing held Keene to earth but the wholesome meals whidh his cook prepared for him. While he ate them he reflected: “Sally. I adore her. But she couldn’t sew a but ton on a shirt. And she could no. more cook a meal like this than— well, I don’t need a wife who ' could.” But his mental processes would always be those of a man who had struggled hard to make a fortune. He would always like to feel that his wife resembled his mother—his mother, who could cook plain, de licious food. Why, that woman in his kitchen ,was nearer to him, to his real nature, than was Sally! Sally lived on peaches and cream. She rode, danced, and played, day in and day out. It was rather a tragedy that they loved each other, since the fundamentals of their na tures were so different. She spent an hour or two with him daily. Often they swam or played, and sometimes they read, sitting under the trees, or talked. But then she must up and away to another engagement. Wouldn’t she always be slipping off to play some where? Could he ever feel that she was permanent, his to hold? “If you love me, why do you stay such a short time with me?” “Oh, social obligations, my d^ar. I’m burdened with troubles that you know nothing about.” “And what does it all amount to, Sally? At the end, 6f the day what have you accomplished? Now there’s my cook, for instance. At the end of the day she’s done some thing, created.” “Oh, your cook, your cook! I tire of hearing about your cook.” “You don’t tire of eating the cook ies I bring for our picnics though, do you?” . “Sort of. Wish she’d make a dif ferent kind sometimes.” “I’ll tell her to.” “You’ll tell her. Do you see her? What is she like, this enchantress?” “I’ve really scarcely seen her. I— why—she looks—she looks like a cook. I believe she has red hair.” One day he came to their meet ing disturbed. “Something gone wrong with the cook, I dare say,” ventured Sally. “Why, yes—yes. Some trouble be tween her and the maids, I believe. I’m afraid, I’m awfully afraid, she’ll be leaving if there’s more trouble.” “You care a hundred times more for her than you do for me. You aren’t the kind of man for me, and I’m not the kind of girl for you, ♦ and we’d better not make any more plans for the future.” “My darling, you break my heart.” “But so do you break mine. Why, the very wedding cake must be made by Kate. You think more about that than you do about my gowns or where we shall go. I hate her! Unless you promise that you’ll discharge her I won’t marry you.” Oh, the man of level head, the practical man, the man of forty autumns! He promised, as Sally re quired. So when she had dashed away he walked home with a bur den at his heart. Morose as he was, dinner was most delicious. Kate had outdone herself. He sighed and rang. “Send Kate to me, please.” Kate came. She was a sober, youngish woman. She wore a large cap over what appeared to be mops of red hair, wisps of which straggled out here and there. “Now for it! “Kate, I—I sent for* you because —because, well—” He couldn’t swing it. He just couldn’t. “Nice eyes,” Sally had guessed. Yes, they were nice eyes! “I sent for you because I want to increase your salary. You de serve it. And I want you to stay with me indefinitely. Do you think you can and want to?” “I think I can, sir. And I—I very much want to, sir.” Then Kate, minus wig, cap and apron was Sally, and Sally was in his arms. “You’ve never known the ‘Kate’ side of me, Robert, but I’m sure you’ll like it. You see, I was tired of being a butterfly, even before I met you, and that’s why I learned to* cook and went masquerading this summer. And, Robert, if you had discharged Kate I should have POULTRY TRUCK AT McCOR MICK FEB. 1ST, 10:00-11:00 A. M.
