visit to Salzburg for the music festival. Paul, by this time, had taken over the actual drudgery of searching through shop after shop for each rare item. He tried to be sensible about it — but what man with a hobby ever really is! — and he reached home frightfully late on several occasions.
One evening — because of his discovery of a superb sample of a pre-mechanizedage reindeer siren — when he missed dinner entirely, his spouse handed him a large alarm clock. "Hereafter," she said with a straight face, "you're to carry that in your pocket. It's high time you had a self-starting item in your collection."
The following summer they went down for a few weeks to Genoa for a visit with friends. Reminiscing about it on the set of Warner Brothers' Casablanca, Paul said, "It seems impossible, in the light of what is happening in Europe today, that we ever lived so gay, so leisurely, so heedless a life. In those days someone would say, 'Why don't you run down to our place in Geona for two weeks?' — and we'd go. It was as simple as that. Now ■> . . It is a different world."
In the olden, golden days of Genoa, Paul heard of an Italian art-lover who had collected ancient glass bells for years. This character was now getting along in years and found that he was also collecting grandchildren. His two hobbies didn't mix very successfully, so the collector wanted to sell his acquisitions — which he did — to the chap from Vienna with the twinkle in his eye.
By the time Paul and his wife moved to London, the bells numbered 49, and No. 50 was unearthed in one of those emporiums with mullioned windows and tradition in the very dust.
About this time Paul was signed to an American film contract. All the Henreid household goods, complete with priceless bells, were packed, wrapped, crated and stowed in a freighter to be shipped to America.
Somewhere on the angry, bombchurned Atlantic, the convoy of which the freighter was a member was attacked by German planes. No ship was lost, but several were hit and damaged.
Yes, one huge crate of Henreid belongings, including some of the heirloom bells, was destroyed. Score: 50 minus 22 leaves 28 bells.
But the end is not yet. Mrs. Henreid, having heard about Los Angeles' fabulous row of antique shops along Los Feliz Boulevard, went shopping one day and discovered No. 29. Here is the final bell-ringer.
By careful selection, Paul had arranged 8 of his chimers to sound a scale. Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, do! However, when the shipment got bombed, high do was wrecked.
Yet, music must be everywhere, because the bell from the Los Feliz shop sounded off with a clear high do. Paul went around the Now, Voyager set for days telling innocent bystanders about the delightful coincidence. He was a very happy man.
Until some meanie had to relate in detail just what happens to glassware on shelves during an earthquake. Not that Los Angeles has them, you understand. But, in case it ever did. . . .
"Just so it doesn't break -mi" punned the irrepressible Mr. Henreid. g|

Married _ to an Iceberg
HOW A YOUNG WIFE OVERCAME THE "ONE NEGLECT" THAT OFTEN RUINS A MARRIAGE.
??
2. Then my nerves cracked, and Dick's uncle, who's a doctor, guessed the truth. "Poor child," he comforted me. "So often a devoted wife is guilty of this one neglect. She's careless about feminine hygiene (intimate personal cleanliness). Now if that's your case . . .". And understandingly, he set me straight.
4. Today, I use Lysol disinfectant regularly for feminine hygiene. I'm thankful it's so inexpensive, so easy to use, too. But best of all, Dick's kisses aren't icy — not any more!
i . At first, we were the most romantic couple! Happy as larks. But little by little, Dick grew neglectful of me. I couldn't think why his love had cooled off so soon.
3. He told me how, today, thousands of modern women use Lysol disinfectant for feminine cleanliness. "You see," he explained, "Lysol is a famous germicide. It cleanses thoroughly, and deodorizes, as well. Just follow the easy directions on the bottle — it won't harm sensitive vaginal tissues."

Lysol is NON-CAUSTIC — gentle and efficient in proper dilution. Contains no free alkali. It is not carbolic acid, EFFECTIVE — a powerful germicide, active in presence of organic matter (such as mucus, serum, etc.). SPREADING — Lysol solutions spread and thus virtually search out germs in deep crevices. ECONOMICAL— small bottle makes almost 4 gallons of solution for feminine hygiene. CLEANLY ODOR— disappears after use. LASTING— Lysol keeps full strength indefinitely no matter how often it is uncorked.
