It had been a storage room until the housing shortage became prevalent. Then old Mrs. Root, feeling sympathetic toward the plight of Janet and Craig Norris, newly married and homeless, had cleared It out, partitioned it off into two small rooms and rented it to them. That was just 13 months ago, Janet remembered, dropping her gloves on the table and lighting the lamp with the same gesture. They had been married only three weeks, just long enough to realize they were imposing on Craigs family who were cramped for. quarters themselves. Just a week ago they had the quarrel that had sent Craig from the apartment.

She glanced at the to call him telephone, home, but her own recalcitrant nature refused to allow such a move. She turned on the radio instead and pretended the tears that welled in her eyes at the strains of Silent Night were merely tears of weari-nes- s after the preparation of the office party that morning. Deliberately she opened the dresser drawer to put away last nights ironing. Her souvenir box loomed temptingly before her. Lifting the cover, she stared at the items she had collected: Craigs class ring, exchanged for a diamond after their graduation from college; a pressed orchid, one of those she had carried at her wedding; various cards, Christmas, anniversary, birthday, valentine. She picked up a small gift card and read again, To my dear wife, Janet, on our first Christmas."

She had been a fool, she decided. Without Craig, Christmas could never hold the same meaning for her as it once had. She didnt stop to lock the door for there was nothing of value anyone could steal from her. Even her $100 Christmas bonus lying on the table went unnoticed. The one thing she must not lose was happiness, and that was no longer in her home with Craig gone. She hurried into her coat as she started breatnlessly down the St4 flights of stairs. Tears coursed down her cheeks and she prayed with fanatic zest that she was not too late. As she reached the last flight of stairs, she crashed into a figure who was hurrying up, as oblivious of his surroundings as she. She gasped at the impact, but the man quickly regained his balance and caught her before she could fall. "Janet! he cried. She looked at him almost in disbelief. Then, throwing her arms about him she gave full vent to her tears. Oh, Craig! Darling, I was just coming for you. He kissed her and held her tightly. "Janet, Ive been such a fool I didnt realize until tonight what an awful thing pride can be. Will you ever forgive me? She sighed. "There's nothing to forgive, Craig. I was the one who was wrong. Im going to quit my job right away. No, you mustnt. I dont want to deprive you of any happiness and if you want to work, Im not going to stop you. She laughed shakily.
