He stood behind her in the line, his eyes noting every detail from her soft, short black curls to her doll-size suede shoes. He even approved of her hat, a warm plum color the exact shade of coat and shoes. He was so busy with his survey that he failed to notice the nickel she left in the worn Wooden cup in the shell "Hey, Lady,” the money-changer yelled after her, “You left your changel" She must not have heard the man, for she was already through the turn stile and was disappearing down the stairs to the platform. Jeff tried to make his voice sound casual as he told the man, “I’ll give it to her.” . The man grinned. "Sure don’t blame you.” Jeff fumbled in his haste to get through the turnstile. He followed her downstairs and spotted her in the middle of the crowd on the plat form, watching the F train roll in. “Your change,” he panted, “You left your change at the booth.” She stared op at him, and the im pact of the incredibly dark velvety eyes tossed his heart into some rosy world far, far away. Desper ately he searched for the smooth, brilliant, exactly right thing he never could think to say until it was too late. But, “You left your change,” he repeated inanely, and held out the nickel. "Why, thank you very much," she said, and her voice was just what it should have been—low and soft and sweet. “How nice of you to chase after me!” "Oh, that’s all right,” he said. •T . . . I . . .” and there he stuck. She smiled rather vaguely at him, waited a minute, and started to turn away when he failed to think of any thing else to say. "Wait, please!” he shouted at her. He didn’t need to shout—he was right beside her—so close that the crowd rushing out of the train threw her against him. For a breathless moment, he saw her tiny hand clutch at his coat, smelled the wonderful sweetness of her perfume as she laughed up at him. He supported her elbows and helped her catch her balance. “This seems to be your day for rescuing me,” she said, “Thanks again.” Before he could say another word, she was inside the car and the door was closing. Then he realized he hadn’t found out her name or any thing about her except that her left hand was innocent of rings—wedding or otherwise. He darted down the platform and found a last late-closing door. It didn’t help much to know that he was on the same train with her— one that he had no business on. It was jammed and he struggled hope lessly to get back to her car. He died a thousand deaths at 34th street, 23rd and 14th, afraid she would get off and he would miss her in the mob. It happened at West 4th street, but he saw her in time and bounded after her. down the stairs to th^ Sixth ave nue platform, barely keeping her in sight. He thought she looked right at him, just before she wheeled and ran back up the stairs. “Hope she isn't afraid of me—might peg me for a wolf,” he told himself. "No—that’s silly! Probably didn’t even see me.” He chased back up the stairs—to find that she was not on the downtown platform. He looked behind the news stand, at both ends of the long plat form—she was not in sight. It dawned on him to look across SUBWAY LOCHINVAR By PAT H1LKER the tracks at the uptown platform— where he saw her, just before the train pulled in. He skidded all the way down the stairs, landing in an ungraceful and thoroughly disgruntled heap at the bottom. By the time he untangled his long arms and legs and got across the mezzanine floor and back up the uptown stairs, the train was pulling out and she was gone. He was sunk, stymied, and he didn’t have the remotest chance of catching her—of finding out what any half-wit should have asked her before he returned the precious The guard looked at her with un derstanding, looked grimly at Jeff and had a firm grip on Jeffs collar an instant later. “Bothering the lady, eh? Why you—I ought to have you thrown in the jug!” In about 40 seconds, Jeff was standing dazed and furious outside the subway station, back where he had first maneuvered to walk close to the lovely little black-haired stranger. Why had she raised such a rum pus?

Where did she live? Did she travel the same route every day? Did she work— did she—he didn’t have the slightest clue as to how to find her again— ever. Cursing himself for a blithering idiot, he stepped on the next train that came along. Might as well go back to 42nd street and ride his usual train—back to his lonely room and his lonelier thoughts. Of course he decided, to be at that change booth every day for the rest of his life, if necessary, until be found her again. He pondered an ad to run in the Times: “Will the beau tiful lady with the dark eyes who for got a nickel at the change booth at 42nd street on the night of. . .” Back at 42nd street, he stood gloomily staring at her for several minutes before he realized it. She was standing on the downtown platform again, right where he had first mnffed his chances with this girl he had dreamed all of his life of some day meeting. She was talking to a man, so absorbed that she didn’t even glance in his di rection. Once more Jeff dashed upstairs, downstairs and along the platform until at last he could reach out and grasp her arm. She looked up then, surprise widen ing her dark eyes, and let out a blood-curdling scream. “Help!

What was so frightening about him? He puzzled and groused over that problem while he drank two cups of coffee in a little place across the street. He didn't get the answer until he reached into his pocket for his wallet to pay his check. The wal let was gone. Jeff remembered the appealing way her dark eyes had held his when she was thrown on his chest on the platform—remembered those pretty little white hands as they clung to his lapel—tugging at his heart strings—and his wallet. LETS TALK ABOUT you, —— BY CHARLES B. ROTH — Tact—A Daily Need One of the chief qualities of those whom you like and admire is a quality known as tact. Chances are that in your lifetime you’ve known very few men- and women who were completely tactful. But haven’t you known scores and scores who were not? You know the kind I mean—men and women who always are saying untactful things that make you un happy, that fill you with doubts about yourself, that give you moments when you wonder whether there is such a thing as a kindly person in the world. Tact is without doubt the essence of charm, graciousness and of gentleness. But do you know what It is? It’s merely the perception of what to do or say under delicate or diffi cult circumstances. That’s a defini tion of tact. But tact is much more than a definition really. Tact is really a way of life. You can’t be tactful unless you are thinking about other people, about what they like, about their rights and feelings more than you think about your own. The real value of tact in your life is that it relieves tension and glosses over situations that might endanger friendships or cause you to lose self- respect in the eyes of other persons. If you have tact, you balance both sides and never willfully offend an other person. At the risk of appearing untactful, let me tell you that no one ever is bom with tact, but everyone who ever had it acquired it. And you can acquire it just as easily and just as surely as anyone else can. Do you want to know how? I’ve already hinted at that earlier in this article. I hinted at this when I said that if you wanted to be tact ful you had to think more about the other person than you think about yourself. And that’s the advice 1 am going to give you now. Think of that other person, try to see his viewpoint, try to see what his likes and dislikes are. Ask yourself what you would do if your respective roles were re versed. And then when you ex press yourself either by word of action, express yourself in unsel fishness in the way you think he would like you to.
