“DON'T SAY HELLO”

We read it again.

they had, CBS assigned him to
originate and develop new comedy
and variety shows, and he came
through with the Godfrey gold
mine, which made its first appearance on the air on July 8, 1946.
Well, ‘“‘The Fountainhead” arrived, was seen, and proved
to be disappointing, despite
the excellent cast and the money lavished on the production.
As with “Arch of Triumph,”
a good book just was not good

Presently our phone rang. We
it and announced our

There was no answer. We jiggled
the hook and insisted on getting the

“Who called you?’ ‘‘What differit make?’’ we asked,
“We will take a call from anybody.’’ Presently she “re-connected us.

firmly.
“There is no Elbert P. Twitchell here. You have the wrong number.’’
“No, I haven’t. Listen .:. .”
“ “This ‘is not Twitchell,’ the female voice insisted.
“Of course not,’’ we explained.
“How could it be?’’
‘“‘Hello,’’ the voice said.
“And you’re not supposed to say
‘hello,’’’ we put in.
‘Hello. Who do you want? Hello.
You must have the wrong number.

“Stop slipping in all of those hellos!’’ we yelled. ‘‘Haven’t you

“No. My secretary has been trying to get the city hall. What’re

It was too much, We hung
up and fell, wilted, into a chair.
After a while the phone rang.

"Fiction LOVINGLY, TEMPLE
By
Richard H. Wilkinson
aT ~EAR TEMPLE: I was indeed
glad to learn that you had obtained such a satisfactory position.
I am sure that you will make a
most efficient secretary. Frankly, I
have been entertaining some misgivings about your future. Serving
in the capacity of guardian to modern young ladies is, after all, hardly
in my line, although I was only too
glad to look
after the daugh» Minute . ter of my close
. friend, Tom
Fiction Creighton, when
he so unexpectedly passed away. I imagine you
are quite a grown up young lady
now, though it is hard for me to
visualize you in any other. form
than a girl in pigtails and short
dresses—”’
Aaron Bell, 34, looking 10 years
younger, abruptly ceased dictating
and stared hard at his stenographer.
The stenographer, Miss Daniels by
name, was small, dark, vivacious
and exceedingly attractive. She had
come to work in the law office of
Attorney Aaron Bell two weeks previous. She was a capable girl, yet for
some unexplainable reason Aaron
hadn’t been able to get used to her.
That is to say, he felt nervous
whenever he was dictating letters.
During the next few days
Aaron began to get an inkling
of why it was that he felt uneasy when dictating letters to
Miss Daniels. He began to wonder if heretofore he hadn’t been
attempting to evade an issue.
He asked himself, secretly, if
Miss Daniels was becoming to
mean more to him than just a
secretary.
WO DAYS LATER Aaron was
rudely swept out of the realm
of ecstasy (a state of mind brought
about by his dinner: date with Miss
Daniels), by receiving another letter from his ward.
‘(Dear Guardian: My boss is really quite lovely, and has been displaying an unusual amount of interest in me since my last letter.
I am not a little flattered by his attention and very much thrilled. In
fact, I believe I could fall in love
with him very easily.’’
Aaron rang for Miss Daniels.
“Dear Temple: I demand that you
resign from your present position
at once. It’s silly and absurd to
think of a girl your age falling in
love, especially with a man who
makes love to every stenographer
he employs.” ;
That night Aaron suggested a
drive through the country and was
delighted when Miss Daniels accepted. It was a beautiful June evening, with a full moon and a cooling breeze blowing off the ocean.
It might have been the atmospheric conditions which stirred to life
the slumbering romance that lurks
within the breast of every man, or
it might have been the simple desire of a man for a mate. At any
rate Aaron took Miss Daniels in his
arms and kissed her and whispered
nonsensical things that somehow
seemed to fit the occasion.
HE NEXT MORNING he found
another letter from Temple
Creighton on his desk. ‘Dear
Guardian: I’m sorry, but commands and demands from folks
like you don’t mean a thing when
a girl is in love. And your little
Temple is certainly in love. I expect she’ll be proposed to in the
very near future.’’
Aaron buzzed for Miss Daniels. ‘‘Dear Temple: This thing:
has gone far enough, It’s a pity
you couldn’t have been endowed with at least a fraction
of your father’s good sense.
It is my wish that you immediately send me the name and
address of this boss of yours.
I shall write to him at once.’’
Aaron had hoped that that night
he would find himself courageous
enough to offer a proposal of mar‘riage to. Miss Daniela. Yet when
again they were seated on the cliff
watching the moon come up out of
the ocean, his courage failed.
Heavy-eyed he went to the office
next morning to find a letter awaiting him from Temple Creighton.
“Dear Guardian: You were right.
He isn’t the man I thought he was.
Apparently he has just been amusing himself, with no idea of asking
me to marry him, I do.wish you’d
talk to him. His name is Aaron Bell.
Lovingly, Temple.”’
