WELLS i THEATRE - fH Char Ioffe Greer “'T'HE trouble with having such an all-fired modem family and trying to keep up with them,” Alice told herself as she looked around the hotel dining room on Christmas Day, “is that modernism and Christmas just don’t go to gether.” Her face felt as stiff as a hard ened jelly mold from holding the smile she was determined not to re lax, and internally she was positive ly wound up from the effort to emu late the rest of the gay, noisy people who were here instead of being at home where Alice thought they should be on that day above all oth ers that has made your own fireside the place you most like to be. While they waited for the entree she and William were alone, sitting at opposite ends of the long table watching their children dance. Each one had been permitted a guest of his own age, but Alice’s eyes were focused on her tall, dark-haired Bill and his slim, golden-haired girl, Rosemary. Bill would soon be eighteen, that was why he fixed her attention. William came over and sat be side her. “Happy, Alice?” he said, and covered her hand with his. She returned his smile. After all, this spree was costing enough to have bought three or four turkeys for home consumption. “You were right, dear,” she said. “The young sters love it.” s* “Rosemary told me this is the one orchestra of all on the air that she’d choose to see,” he said proudly. “It’s a holy wonder her folks would let her out of the house on Christ mas Day.” “The Custers are pretty old-fash ioned people,” said Alice, feeling that she was complimenting the girl’s family. “We’re good for the Custers," said William. “They need stirring up. It’s a fine thing for Rosie to get out and see a bit of the world.” “They’re having their Christmas dinner tonight,” said Alice. “Mrs. s’cewciopeicteteie^tsigig'c^^tcteicK^^scietcxictciswtcicicteiciciociKWKtmwocNPCtt In this Holiday message to our friends, we want to add our sincere apprecia tion for the good will and cooperation you have given us.

Custer has invited Bill before the young people go to the dance.” “Come on, Alice, let’s show these kids what for.” In spite of the crowd, William covered the ground as he had in college when she fell in love with him. She was glad that she had managed to have her hair done Sat urday. The gardenias the children had given her to wear to church yes terday were still fresh. She’d let Sister wear them tonight if her date didn’t crash through. Bill had bet Sis fifty cents he wouldn’t. The orchestra melted into “White Christmas,” and young Bill tapped his father on the shoulder. “Mom’s favorite, Dad. Let’s change.” Alice said, “You dance Imost as well as your Dad.” “Look at him, will you?” said Bill. “Quite the old boy.” Before long everyone was helping Bill and Sister dress for the dance. Bill lost his wager, and whistled over the red roses that were just right on the turquoise blue of Sis ter’s frock. She said Bill looked simply gor geous in his tuxedo and when his father saw him he said, “Too bad they don’t w'ear ’em in the army, son.” They heard Bill call Rosemary’s number on the phone downstairs and then he closed the door for pri vacy. “Wouldn’t you think,” said Sister, “he’d give the poor girl a chance to take a bath? I bet she gets good and sick of him.” Suddenly Alice remembered a call she had forgotten to make about the baskets the church distributed yes terday. She flew to the upstairs’ extension, and when she heard Bill still talking in leisurely fashion, she opened her mouth to say, as she often did when necessary, “Hang up, you two. I need the phone.” But she didn’t say those words or any others. She listened a few mo ments and her eyes filled with tears. The disappointment and hurt at the way her family had preferred to spend their Christmas vanished as her very best Christmas present of 1845 was received on the wire. “Heck no,” Bill was saying. “I can hardly wait for an old-fash ioned Christmas dinner. That hotel business was all Dad’s idea so Mom wouldn’t have to cook and wash dishes all day. None of us liked it at all. Mom had p good time, though.” ant d e^ a nn d vetV Hi cw*' s best u J3- t % fi CORDIAL RISGOMS GREETINGS In genuine appreciation of your cooperation during the year just closing and in the strong belief that we shall be of greater service to you in the next twelve months, we send you a cordial wish for a Christ mas of good cheer and a hap pier, brighter New Year. ■ | 111 dm | GEORGE N.
