We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
"What's for dinner, Mom?" Carta, who does her own shopping and cleaning, as well as the cooking, is used to that familiar question. Pamela and Patricia have the appetites that being thirteen and nine and living in the country seem to generate.
A HOUSE
Ned Wever's private life is
one that Dr. Anthony Loring himself
might very well appreciate
Both Pat and Pam share their father's interest in acting but right now
English and algebra and American history take a sometimes unwilling
precedence. Ned often coaches the girls for school dramatics.
Ned Wever is one of the many toilers in the steel and concrete vineyards of Radio City who has always been grateful that the distance between his microphone and his commuting train is not very great. Leaving behind the personality of Dr. Anthony Loring, suitor of Young Widder Brown, which he plays five times a week from 4:45 to 5:00 P.M., Ned heads for the lower level of Grand Central Station where the trains marked for Old Greenwich leave with increasing regularity as the clock hands move past five.
At the end of the forty-five minute ride out of Manhattan and over the Connecticut state fine, lies the home and the way of life which Ned Wever's intelligence and talents have won for him. There he finds his lovely wife, Carla, his lively and adoring daughters, Patricia, thirteen, and Pamela, nine — all clamoring to tell him about their day in a house full of happiness. It's a busy one, too, this Wever house. Each member of the family has a favorite activity or hobby which is
at variance with each other's. But at one point they do agree and that point is music. Ned is particularly proud that his daughters share his own interest in music. Pat, he thinks, has exceptional ability on the piano although right now she's just as much interested in tap dancing. Ned himself is a lyric writer and he has a number of popular songs to his credit: "Trouble In Paradise," "Spellbound," "I Can't Resist You" and "Trust In Me."
But Carla will tell you that, contrary to supposition, Ned is one man who is not always handy to have around the house. A hammer, in his hands, crushes thumbs instead of nails. Rakes are things to be left on the lawn for other people to trip over. And ever since the time he emerged with an ulcerated eye from a garden pruning session, Carla has been content to do such chores herself. These things do not bother Pam and Pat. They find Ned very handy — he seems to know all the answers to pokey algebra problems!
