‘‘We want two rooms," Bill said,
"two rooms and a decent kitchen.
And not facing on the street, please.
Too many trucks in Greenwich Vil
lage to suit me."
*'I adore the Village,” Peggy said
quickly. The trouble was, the words
seemed to jump out before she knew
what she was going to say.
Bill stared up ai a long crack in
the ceiling. ‘Sure, we adore the Vil
lage."
She pinched him when the land
lady wasn’t looking and he gave her
hair a tug, and everything was all
right again. They followed the land
lady up the stairs. She had just the
thing for them, she said. "A couple
of kids like you won’t mind walking
up four flights.”
“Oh, no,” Peggy answered. Then
she glanced at Bill. “Well, w’ould
we?”
Bill looked up at the ceiling again.
“Oh, no.”
She knew what he was thinking.
And it was true. She didn't want to
live in a place that had elevators.
Bad enough to have him come home
talking about them every night. Bad
enough to have to answer the neigh
bors’ questions with, “My husband?
Oh he . . . er, sells elevators ” She
could see them lifting their eye
brows. “Elevators? Pardon me for
smiling, Mrs. Bill, but I never knew
any one had to sell elevators. I al
ways thought they . . . just hap
pened.”
No, definitely not a place with ele
vators. She didn't want to be re
minded of her husband’s business
every time she went in and out of
the house.
The landlady’s short, bowed legs
were leading them up the stairs
briskly, showing them how easy it
was to climb four flights. “You’ll
find it nice and quiet here, I’m sure.
The gentleman who has it now has
been there three years. And he's a
writer.”
“A writer?” Peggy had kind of a
funny feeling all of a sudden. Like
she’d gone up in an elevator too
fast. A writer. That was what she’d
alivays thought she’d marry some
day. Or maybe an artist. Somebody
like that.
P eggy Is Intrigued
They were walking up the last
flight now and some one upstairs
opened a door. Don’t let him be any
better, looking than Bill, she begged.
As it happened, he wasn’t. He vas
just a pale young man with glasses.
He stood there in his slacks and
blue shirt and he looked , . . well,
on second glance he looked . . . dif
ferent. Nobody would ever take him
for a life guard. That’s what she’d
thought Bill was that first time,
when they’d met on the beach.
“Come right in." The young man
waved something at them. It turned
out to be a monkey WTench, of all
things. “Don’t mind me, I’m just
the plumber."
Peggy laughed. It was so unex
pected, it made her feel good. "The
plumber,” she said, as their eyes
met, “Imagine.”
“Some plumber,” the landlady
said.
“That’s gratitude,” he said, look-

ing at Peggy, “I do her a favor and
she makes fun of my plumbing.”
“I think it's nice if a man knows
how to fix the plumbing,” Peggy
said. She glanced from the thin
hands to the thin, pale face. “I real
ly do."
He looked pleased. “I’m a paint
er. too,” he told her. "Look, 1 paint
ed this china closet. What do you
think of the shade?"
It made her feel so flattered to
have a writer showing off for her
benefit. "It’s a lovely color,” she
told him. And then she could feel
Bill’s eyes on her. "Isn’t it. Bill?”
"Yeah,” Bill said dryly, "blue.”
Peggy winced. Well, that proved
he wasn't color blind.
“It’s the same shade as your hat,”
this writer was saying.
She blushed. "Think of a man's
noticing that."
"Yeah.” Bill said. The way he
said it, it wasn't exactly a compli
ment.
HE landlady was smiling at them
like the wolf in Red Ridinghood.
"You look kinda young to be a
married couple.”
•'Oh we aren't married yet,” Peg
gy blurted out. She felt Bill's fin
gers tighten on her arm.
"So you better show us that apart
ment before she changes her mind,"
he added.
She glanced up at him with a ner
vous little smile, feeling ashamed,
wishing she hadn't let him read her
thoughts.
The landlady laughed and Peggy
laughed louder than she'd wanted

“ I think it’s nice If a man knows how to fix the plum bing,” P eggy said.
She glanced from the thin hands to the tliin, pale face. "I really do.”
“If you want to see the apart
ment,” the landlady began sharply.
Then she pulled a smile over her
false teeth. "This here's the kit
chen.
Bill said, "You mean the apart
ment opens into the kitchen?"
Behind his glasses, the young
man’s light blue eyes were looking
amused. “Oh you’ll get used to it.
And it’ll give your friends some
thing to talk about.”
"He s some little talker himself,
isn’t he?” the landlady said.
“I think he’s wonderful," Peggy
said, laughing. He certainly knew
how to make a person feel perfectly
at ease.
Then she got a look at Bill’s
face. She began to feel miserable.
If only he wouldn’t look like that.
Like a . . . She tried to push the
thought out of her mind but it came
right back again. . . . Like a dis

our elevators, Mr. Kotch.
The landlady led them into the
living room, and when Peggy saw
it, her heart sat up and begged.
Her eyes drank in the bookcase
that covered a whole wall, the orig
inal paintings on unframed canvas,
the oversized fireplace with thiee
painted masks above it. And there
was a table with a typewriter and
a lots of papers piled-up in care
less stacks.
What darling taste you have. She
almost said it, but she thought about
Bill just in the nick of time.
“TTie bedroom’s in there,” the
landlady said. She let Peggy and
Bill go into the bedroom by them
selves. Bill's head almost bumped

Productivity Depends
Upon Organic Matter
The soil’s ability to produce high
crop yields needed to feed hungry
millions depends on its organic mat
ter supply. Soils rich in organic
matter are good “sponges” for
soaking up and holding rainfall for
crops. Organic matter helps restore
soil structure, improves tilth and
helps plant roots get more nutrients
from the soil. Use lime, fertilizers

New Chemical Weapons
To Combat Weed Pests
Farmers and householders wag
ing war on crab grass and other
troublesome weeds and grasses can
look for help from two new weap
ons.
The weed-killing chemicals bear
the jaw-breaking names of sodium
isopropyl xanthate and allyl mixed
chlorophenyl carbonate. They have
been tested by federal and state
agricultural experiment stations
"with excellent results against
many weeds and grasses not eco
nomically or satisfactorily con
trolled by other chemicals or prac
tices,” the announcement said. They
are being used in active experimen
tal programs but are not yet avail
able commercially.
The second-named herbicide is
the one that combats crab grass, as
well as barnyard, orchard and blue
grass, cattails and similar plants.
