Va. next time the event "was repeated she was ready. "Wait," she said, "are you one of the Dennis Day Dreamers? If you are I'd like to meet you. Won't you come over for tea this afternoon and see Dennis and me?" Well, the voice, after a pause, said yes — and could she bring a couple of friends? That afternoon the five officers of the Dennis Day Dreamers were on the doorstep. Peggy McNulty took them into the living room, served them Cokes and cookies, introduced them to their idol who showed up a bit later, and everyone had a nice time. Let it be recorded that the club is now known the length and breadth of three high schools as the Peggy and Dennis Day Dreamers. Dennis told his wife proudly that it had taken him much longer than it had her to get a fan club. "And I can sing," he added. Peggy takes family parties in stride, too, wnich is a good thing because the McNultys and the Ahlmquists enjoy meeting and visiting together. When they're all assembled they make quite a sizable crowd. PEGGY and Dennis held their first family-and-closest-friends gathering on the occasion of the christening of Patrick. There were forty present. Peggy fixed the refreshments, bathed and dressed the baby, got herself ready for the event, supervised Dennis' wardrobe, marshalled the entire crowd for the ceremony and then reverted to being hostess for the party that followed. Those present were almost equally divided between Ahlmquists and McNultys. Dennis has four brothers and a sister — most of them married. Peggy has only one brother but she makes up for this by having a goodly selection of aunts and uncles. Dennis is a man with hobbies — the hobbies involve guns, fishing rods, and complicated mechanical gadgets he'll use someday to build furniture. He added deep sea fishing to his list of favorite ways to relax when he and Peggy summered at the beach last year instead of going to Ireland as they'd planned. They'd counted on a thirteen-week vacation, but Dennis' time off the air was shortened to eight weeks, and besides, there was the matter of Patrick. So Ireland was put off until this summer. Dennis spent last summer collecting deep sea fishing gear and now he talks about the day when he and young Patrick will go down to the sea together. This will be okay with Peggy — she doesn't care about rocking on the waves. Going to the beach for the summer precipitated the first McNulty family quarrel. It happened the morning of the day before they were to leave on vacation. Peggy had a million things to do, what with closing up the house and getting packed. She didn't think Dennis had any appointments for the day, so when he went out the front door in his usual Dagwood fashion, she called after him for his plans. He flung back a vague answer, whipped into the garage, backed out his car and was gone. Peggy was more than a little annoyed and by the time Dennis phoned home some hours later she was giving a good performance of a martyred housewife. The result was that they hung up the phones on each other. After a while Peggy relented. She took time to dig out alreadypacked pots, pans and groceries and cooked a nice dinner. By the time Dennis arrived, dinner was on the table. candles were lighted and Peggy was her most charming self. Then Dennis was martyred. Seems he'd spent the day arranging a surprise going-away party for her at his mother's, and had all her family and his assembled there waiting for him to bring her over. Peggy and Dennis ate two dinners that night. Dennis teases her unmercifully and any subject will do if she indicates in the slightest that she'll rise to the bait. In the first months of their marriage he teased her about her cooking. Nowadays he teases her about her weight. She's really slender but she contends she can't ever eat a bite of dessert in peace. The topper came when he bought her a bicycle for exercise. Later she found out he'd bought a pair of them, and actually he had planned that they'd ride together on Sunday mornings. "When we get rich," he said, "we'll trade these in for horses." Dennis has a penchant for making appointments he can't keep. He fills his day too full, Peggy tells him to no avail. She's tried keeping a schedule for him herself but up to now it hasn't been a cure — he goes on making his last appointment at 5:45 in the happy conviction that he can make it home for dinner at six. Consequently when the Days are invited out for a six o'clock dinner they invariably arrive, breathless, at seven. Their closest friends are Dennis' business associates and Peggy's high school and college chums. When the McNultys give a party, everyone collects in the den which is a rather small room. Peggy decided to enlarge it by having one wall knocked out after their last party when twenty people crowded in there and sat on the floor. In the summer Dennis barbecues steaks according to a recipe he learned when he was stationed in Honolulu during the war. The two are collecting books for the day when they have time and can catch up on their reading. When she has time, Peggy wants to take piano lessons — she was a pretty good musician when she was in school. And when Dennis has time, he'll use the workroom garage to build furniture. THIS leisurely period they talk about looks a long way off. Dennis' career continues to zoom, and his music publishing company, Dennis Day Enterprises, is going great. They've put out several hit tunes including "Clancy Lo^'ered the Poom," and "Look Up." Peggy and Dennis probably won't move from their present home untH its ten rooms grow too small for them. They want a large family. They're already planning to send Patrick, who looks like his father, to the parochial school down the hill. Dennis' friends have found Peggy a delightful hostess and one of the gayest additions to any party. "How did you ever find her?" they ask Dennis. "Just the luck of the Irish," he tells them. For their anniversary he gave her a pair of earrings shaped like shamrocks and set with pearls. "I'm a lucky guy," he told her, "but you're lucky too." "It's lucky I am, it is," said Mrs. McNulty who's picking up a brogue. "If it weren't for you, you know, I might be a successful career girl. Instead I'm giving the best years of my life to a husband, a baby and a house. Lucky, is it?" But if you'd been watching her when she said this, you'd have noticed that sne was touching wood.
