(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.

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
