The telephone call he thought was a joke brought fame and a band of his own to Hal Mclntyre. ANOTHER CONNECTICUT YANKEE HTHE phone rang sharply and the -■■ apple-cheeked, six-foot youngster swallowed hard when the voice on the other end of the wire filtered through. "This is Benny Goodman speaking." You couldn't blame the boy for being cautious. He'd had experiences before with home town practical jokers. "Yeah," he mouthpiece, t» piped curtly into the 'and if you're Benny Goodman, then I'm Santa Claus." But that caustic retort didn't stop the conversation. The man was seriously insistent. "Look, Hal Mclntyre, if you think I'm really kidding you, call me back at the Hotel Pennsylvania in New York." Hal made one more attempt to expose the stranger. "Okay, Mister Benny Goodman, I'll do that, but I'll reverse the charges!" But thirty minutes later the excited, twenty-two-year-old, band-crazy Connecticut lad, who spent his daytime hours working in the Remington -Rand typewriter plant and his nights playing an inspired saxophone in his own local eight-piece orchestra, was telling his experience to Jane Avery, his best girl. "Jane, honey," he gulped, "it really was Benny Goodman! He wants me to come to New York tonight!" Jane seemed more excited than Hal. Her cheeks were flushed as she gripped the boy's hand tightly. "What did you tell him?" Hal's face fell. Then he stammered: "I told him I couldn't come until Monday. I've got a picnic date with you Sunday and even Benny Goodman isn't going to make me break it!" Continued on page 52 I was a Wife m name o/i/y" A NEGLECTED WIFE REGAINS HER HAPPINESS BY OVERCOMING HER "ONE NEGLECT" I. Oor marriage started out like a story-book romance. We were so head-over-heels in love. But soon my romance faded. Jim's love turned to cold indifference. I suffered agonies. 2. Mrs. M. dropped in one morning and caught me crying. She dragged the whole sad story out of me. "My dear," she said, "don't mind my frankness — you see, I used to be a Registered Nurse, and I understand your trouble. So many wives lose their husbands' love because of carelessness about feminine hygiene. 3. "Our head physician set me straight," continued Mrs. M. "Headvised his women patients to use Lysol for intimate personal care. Lysol, you see, is a powerful germicide; used accordingtoeasydirections,it killsall vaginal germ-life on instant contact . . . yet can't harm sensitive tissues. It cleanses and deodorizes, too." 4. I've used Lysol for feminine hygiene ever since — with never the slightest worry about its effectiveness. Lysol is so economical — it never dents my budget. And — oh, yes, Jim is once more "that way" about me — and am I happy! Why you can depend on Lysol GENTLE YET POWERFUL— Used as directed, Lysol is gentle to delicate tissues (not an acid — no free alkali), yet there is no germ-life in the vaginal tract that Lysol mil not kill on instant contact. SPREADING— No other widely advertised douche preparation has the wide spreading power Lysol has — Lysol solution virtually searches out germ-life in tiny folds other liquids may never reach. ECONOM ICAL— Small bottle makes almost 4-sallons solution. CLEANLY ODOR — Soon disappears. HOLDS STRENGTH to last drop— playsale with Lysol.
