J EFF bad a pocketful of nickels,
but he followed her to the change
booth. 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

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

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

she live? Did she travel the same
route every day? Did she work—

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

to run in the Times: “Will the beau

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! Po
lice—Help!” She backed away from
him, still screaming and started
toward a blue-uniformed subway
guard.

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.
