WAVING WIFE
By Bob E. Mack
44 ¥OE! Joe Adams—you old horse
thief. How are yuh, boy?”
A reminiscent chill went through
Joe at sound of the familiar voice.
He turned reluctantly to greet a
smiling collar ad in wine corduroy
jacket and beige slacks. Phil New
ton, the college roommate who
had borrowed his sox, ties and
girls with equal finesse.
"Well, welll” Joe exclaimed, try
ing to sound joviaL “If it isn’t
the boy artist from Arlington Falls.
What brings you to the big city?”
Phil grinned around his pipe
stem. “I’m living here. Just moved
into this streamlined Taj Mahal
today.” He gestured toward the
towering graystone apartments.
“Don’t tell me we’re neighbors?”
“Afraid so,” Joe admitted. “I’m
married now. JLived here two years.
My entrance is around the corner
—east wing. You go in here?”
They halted at the flagstone path
surrounded by luxurious green
hedges.
Phil nodded. “Say, look—” his
dark eyes took on a conspiratorial
gleam. “You don’t happen to know
a gorgeous redhead over in your
section who lives on the 8th floor?”
“She just waved to me- from her
window. I’m right across the court
from her, down two floors. Can’t
see her face very well, so I bor
rowed these binoculars to get a
better view.” He held up the leath
er case, grinning broadly. “If her
face is as beautiful as that long,
red hair, I aim to get acquainted,
pronto! She’s wearing some kind
of a bright blue housecoat—shiny
stuff. Bet she’s a nifty dresser, too.”
Joe shook his head, laughing.
“You’ll never grow up,” he said.
“Same old college wolf. Well, I’ve
got to run. Good luck, Casanova.”
He strode off as Phil gave a cocky
salute and entered the apartment
house.
With a sigh that traveled the
full length of his six feet, two
inches. Joe fitted his key to the
lock of 816-A. He closed the door
quietly behind him. not making a
sound. The bedroom radio was
playing a lively polka, and the
■m aroma of roast beef waft
ed in from the kitchen. Tossing his
brief case on the s*fa, Joe caught
a glimpse of movement in the
long mirror over the fireplace. He
looked again. What he saw reflect
ed there, hit him in the Adam’s
Apple.
Sherry was seated at the bed
room window, wearing the blue
satin robe he’d given her last
Christmas, and waving her grace
ful hand with obvious enthusiasm.
No doubt Phil had returned to his
own window, and was making good
use of the binoculars.
Joe stood rooted to the living-
room rug, his unbelieving eyes,
glued to the mirror. What should
he do? Make like an outraged hus
band? Turn her over his knee?
Laugh it off? No. by Jupiter! He’d
play it smart—give ’em enough
rope and they’d hang themselves.
With clenched fists and determined
jaw, he tip-toed back to the door,
opened and closed it again as
though he were just coming in.
"Is that you, darliqg?” called
Sherry “I’m in the bedroom.”
“Hif” Joe wandered in noncha
lantly. hands in pockets.
Sherry looked up. “Dinner’s all
ready, hon. I’m just doing my
nails. What are you grinning at?”
Joe felt like laughing out loud,
but restrained himself. Sherry was
waving the other hand now, as she
always did when drying her nail
polish! Striding to the window, Joe
peered out.
“Look,” he said, putting an arm
around her and pointing across the
court, “see that guy down there
in the yellow shirt? Wave to him
That’s Phil Newton, my old college
roommate. He just moved in.
today.”
“Oh—I see him. He has binocu
lars!” Sherry giggled. Obediently,
she waved, as Joe put his other
arm around her and kissed her
quite soundly.
“Joe—look—he pulled down the
shade!”
“Hm ... so he did. Always was
a oit eccentric.” Joe kissed her
again with added fervor. “What
Phil needs is a beautiful, red-haired
wife.”

T HE Charleston Museum was
founded in 1773 by a group
of young men of science
and letters from the Charleston
Library Society. It is generally
conceded to be the oldest Mu
seum in the country.
While its collections and ex
hibitions include the cultural
history and natural history of
the whole world, special empha
sis has always been placed on
South Carolina material. Of
unusual interest are the prod
ucts of the craftsmanship of
early Charleston artisans. In the
natural history hall, dioramas
show local birds and animals ih
their natural settings.
* The Charleston Museum is
operated for the people of South
Carolina and its visitors by the
city and county of Charleston,
and by contributions and mem
berships. Its total annual at
tendance is over 100,000 per
sons. There is no admission fee.
The Museum has two branch
es, the Joseph Manigault house,
at 350 Meeting Street, and the
Hey ward-Washington House, at
87 Church Street. The former
was built in 1803 and the latter
in 1770.
