A NEW LIFE XXIV , TT had been six months since I wrote thnt letter to Gerry Ewlng, the beautiful blonde who danced In the floor show at Billy Hose's Diamond Horseshoe. I had yet to receive an answer, so the night after we arrived In New York Glngiss and I decided to ' look up Gerry Ewlng and demand an explanation. "But Captain Genovese, you're so short!" Gerry said, the very first thing when we met her at the St. Moritz. "I thought you said in your letter that you were what was It? Six feet?" "I don't remember," I said, em barrassed, because I had been a trifle liberal in estimating my height. "But flying takes a lot out of a man. Makes you lose a lot of weight sometimes probably af fects your height, too. ..." The picture of Gerry In the magazine was very good, but It didn't do her justice. In the flesh he was twice as beautiful, with silky blonde hair and wide blue eyes and soft red lips and a smile that crinkled around the eyes. Just hearing the soft melody of her laugh made me all wobbly In side. After she had dressed and come from her room and slipped her arm through mine, wo went out and got a cab and drove over to the Stork Club, and I asked the hcadwaitcr for a table for two. "Aren't you all together?" he asked. I turned and saw Glngiss standing there looking rather be- wildercd. "Oh oh, yeah," I said. "That's right. Make It a table for three."

At the end of that time I was still walking around with my head in the clouds and there was nothing to do but lay my cards on the table. "I love you, Gerry," I told her one night, and she smiled and said, "That's nice, because I love you, too." And so we were married. llTUCH as one hates to concede the fact, honeymoons cannot go on forever. Ours ran on bliss fully from the end of August unU' early October with never once a thought of the turmoil in which the rest of the world found Itself, but then reality returned In the form of a telegram from Glngiss, who had gone back home to Chi cago a few weeks before. "Have nice airline Job lined up In South America," he wired. "Room for you, too. Good pay and dangorous. What more could you ask?" "What do you think, dear?" J. asked, handing the message to Oorry. "Would you like to live in South America?" Gerry rend It three or four times, and then she said, "I'll tell you what I think: I think there are mountains in South America, and tho first thing you know that prostate trouble or whatever It was will start up again. Another thing I think, as long as you've asked me, is that you've done enough dangerous flying. Your work at Lockheed and at Brew ster Aircraft and your knowledge of planes from all these experi ences in England and in China and India, all that ought 1' qualify you as an engineer, some kind of a job where you could put all that J.

Why say,"" I'll bet ..." On and on Gerry went, building up her bridegroom so vigorously that If he had listened to all she had to say and taken it seriously he would have -gone out next morning and started the founda tions for an aircraft factory of his own. But the bridegroom didn't listen to all of it he was already becoming a husband. nnHZ bridegroom's argument with himself was short-lived. Most Important to him as well as to everyone else In the United States, If not In the world, was to get the war over with. And flying in South America would contribute little to that. He returned to Til3 apartment after an absence of two hours the next afternoon and told his bride to start packing; they were on their way to., Evansville, Indiana. "Evansville?" Gerry exclaimed. "What are we going to do buy a farm?" "No, Cookie, we aren't going to buy a form," he said. "I'm going to sec about a job with Republic Aviation. They have a big plant just outside Evansville where they're turning out P-47 Thunder bolts, the hottest fighting planes in the world, and there's a chance that I can get in on the deal." "As an executive, you mean?" Gerry said, all excited. "Well, kind of," I replied. "You see, once In a while a plane comes off the line that isn't just right, and they have to have an expert on hand to figure out just what's wrong. It's a mighty re sponsible job I'll be lucky if I can land it." 'Well, Just so it's safe, that's all I care," Gerry said, and the bridegroom was too busy packing his suitcase to answer. He had done his best hot to misrepresent the job, but even so Gerry was pretty upset when an Evansville paper carried a nice big story two days after he started to work captioned: CAPTAIN J.
