Radio and television mirror (Jan-June 1942)

towels get dirty in one using. Unimportant little things, but they assume a terrible significance. It's just that your nerves are tensed, every minute. No, it isn't fun. No matter how much you try to think it is, it turns out grim. QNE night Mark came home later yf than usual. "We got down to Mteen hundred feet today," he said. That's wonderful. But, Mark is anythmg wrong? You seem sort of subdued." "No— only, the lawyer who checked the title to our property came into Kreugers office today. It seems he never was paid. Ed gave him twenty dollars. "Oh, dear, we'll have to pay Mr Kreuger right away. He shouldn't have to bear that expense." "That's what I thought." I glanced fearfully toward the little bank Mark grinned, a little shamefacedly. "Nope, we won't open it yet— not till we have to. I thought of another way to pay back Kreuger." "How? Mark, what have you done''" 'Well, I— we've got the old alarm clock here at home and when I'm out on the job there's always somebody around to tell me the time, so I— I hocked my watch." "Oh darling. That was your father's watch! "I know. But I'll get it back when the well comes in." «^7^ l!?^ ,^^^^ ^°™es in!" I burst out. Oh, Mark, I just can't bear to think of your watch being gone. "There there, honey." He held me close. Weve still got the hundred. It worse comes to worst, I'll use part of that to get it back. And while were on the subject, what's become of your washing machine''" "Oh, that?" I said vaguely "Come on. Spill it." "It was so hard to clean. And when Norma Hall said she'd buy it, I was so pleased. We've been eating off it tor the last week and we will be all next week and the week after too " .uu"^°, ^^^y^ ^^^t it is," Mark said thoughtfully. "I must say, honey, the meals lately have sorta tasted like that old washing machine." . We both laughed, a little hysterically. I can wash by hand," I said. ^ strong and it's good exercise " Mark stopped laughing. "Yes, Ellen you re strong. Strong in more ways than one. You're— gosh, what would ever do— if you weren't around ■?" Don't," I whispered. "Don't, darling. It's you — " "Part of it's the hundred dollars isn t it? Part of it is knowing what's m that little old bank up there." "Yes," I said and the tears were hard m my throat. "Part of it is that little old bank. . . ." It's the waiting that is so bad. Six weeks doesn't seem long, when you think of it in advance. Six weeks out of a year, out of a lifetime— what does It amount to? But it's a lot of hours Hours, separated one from the other by alternating hope and fear, anticipation and panic, each one freighted with Its own kind of pressure, so that the days are interminable. Especially when the six weeks stretch into seven, to eight, and it looks as if they 11 stretch forever. There were delays — equipment needed repair a crewman had to be replaced, things that no one could be blamed for. That IS when the tension of waiting grows m you until it is a burden you carry MAY, 1942 Gown courtesy of Kalmour Use pl\ESH*2 and stay fresher!
