He'd had a yen for Top-ley- 's back there on the desert wastes. He craved it as a cat would catnip or a homesick Eskimo, an iceberg. And now, as he hurried his chunky form up the narrow street, the blue neon abqve Topley's window blazed welcome In letters two feet high. Spence slid into a seat. He breathed, "Razzberry soda, please. Topley special." He closed his eyes and envisioned a monument of pink and white. A girl's voice, clear and soft, reached him. "Ras-brsoda," she Informed. "Without He raised his head. Her eyes were warm and gray. An amused smile bowed her lips. "Without " he faltered. Her manner humored his confusion. But Spence didn't see that. It struck him she was part of the soda. That the dream also took her in. He watched her scoop out a gob of drop it into a tall glass, squirt in a crimson syrup and heard the harsh gurgle of carbonated water. The glass was placed before him. He placed his lips to the straw and pulled. Coldness luxuriously flowed over his tongue, daubed his palate, trickled down his throat and touched off revelations of delicious-nes- s he'd almost forgotten. It evoked imagery.

Spence expected a smile, but she merely picked up his empty glass and erased the moist ring beneath with an efficient stroke of a damp cloth. He felt he'd missed the target, but wide. He rose awkwardly and plunged a hand into his pocket. His coin vibrated on the counter. A frustrated ring. d The cash register disd missal. Spence to go. In turning, his eye caught the tab, NO SALE! The girl's hand swept to her blouse pocket. The clink of metal told him his coin had Joined others. It was none of his concern, yet the act had been so brazen. He heard himself saying "Don't they treat you right, here?" Spence couldn't make out her expression. "They do." she answered succinctly. "I saw you pocket that money." "So what?" her coolness irritated him. "If the owner caught you " "There's nothing he could do about it," she began to straighten a row of glasses before her. The gesture tokened disinterest in his opinions. More, it infuriated him. "I wouldn't have believed it," he managed. Instantly he was sorry for her. He noticed that dark lashes rested on her cheeks. He realized also his heart was thumping and there was a quaver in his voice that he couldn't control. "Why don't you ask for a raise?" r2 17 way. He was thick shouldered, and muscles like Idaho potatoes bulged his arms, laden at the moment with two big pape- bags. Spence glanced at the girl. Beneath her coolness, he thought he detected an undercurrent of excitement. She said courteously, "Did you get everything?" The man shrugged his shoulders and laid the bags on the counter. "Yeah," he grunted. "Exceptin' powdered sugar." His tone was gruff. He tore the bag down the center. Spence stared. There, tucked in between two packages lay a jar of blouse pocket. "I've got two new quarters," she offered. "Swell," he glowed with delight He placed a fifty cent piece on the counter. "I Just need about six more," he said as she rang up the money, "and I'll have enough for the kid's birthday. Thanks a lot. Miss Topley." Spence was up. He was past the threshold and into the street. A detaining hand touched his shoulder. He brushed it off. " and a slim figure twisted around and blocked his passage. "What's the big idea," he demanded. "I couldn't help it.

Atop the pile glistened another of cherries, bright, red, full, exciting and prophetic of delight. Vaguely, he could hear the man counting. Meaningless numbers. He'd have to have a Topley special first, then take care of the girl. Spence regarded her expression. Injury dominated her fair face and a pensive smile hovered about her lips. It rebuked him. With sinking heart and forward thrust of lean jaw, Spence gulped and announced: "Sir, I want to talk to you." "What's botherin' you, son?" Spence cleared his throat. "You look like a regular guy," he began. "Now, supposin' you had a conscientious employe. You'd want to keep her, huh?" "You said it" the man nodded vigorously. "Now, if you had a person like that and you felt she was competent to take care of the store," Spence took a deep breath and plunged, "would you give her a raise if she was to ask you. Would you?" "Guess so," the man acknowledged. "How much?" "Well," the man's thick shoulders heaved. "Maybe ten," he said at last. "You heard him," Spence turned triumphantly toward the girl. "I'm a witness." She nodded. Her eyes were glowing. "If you'll excuse me, son," the man was saying, "I'm kind of busy. I got a lot of deliveries to make." He handed a paper to the girL "Here's the bill," he remarked. "Thanks. I'll file it. Oh, yes," Spence saw her reach into her A BOVE the dty itreet t church' ipire climbing iu bright ladJeT to the tkjr.

Spence visioned maraschino cherries floating on a rose pond above submerged raspberries. He also discovered lights in her eyes, flashes of radiant promise. He placed her arm in his.

So You Think You Have Moods A young navy lieutenant, not too long out of the service, told me over the luncheon table the other day that he became very much discouraged over himself. I pointed out he hadn't any reason to be. He has a good job. He's doing it well. "That's just the trouble," he said. "I'm not doing it well. I know I'm not. One day I feel sure that I have everything a man needs to be successful and happy. Then the neoct day I'm clear down in the dumps. It's my moods. Isn't there anything a person can do about moods?" I told him, as I am presently going to tell you, that of course there is something anyone can do about his moods. I told him furthermore something he never heard of before, that having moods is perfectly normal, perfectly natural, and a good rather than a bad thing. We know a good deal more about moods now than we did a few years ago, for now we know that at certain times we are going to be happy, regardless of how things break for us, while at others we are going to feel depressed, also regardless of how things break. Largely responsible for this information is Dr. Rexford Hershey of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the first scientists to study our emotional curves. By his researches Dr. Hershey proved that we all have our ups and downs and these occur with regularity. We are elated, cheerful, pleasant unpleasant, peevish, grouchy. That is one cycle. Then we become elated, cheerful, pleasant, and so forth, again. Our lives are a series of cycles emotional cycles. These cycles, moreover, appear with almost exact regularity. With some persons they appear every month; with others every two or three months. Highly emotional people go through their emotional cycles often in less than time, then start all over again; they are always In a dither. But long or short, each of us has his emotional curve. Maybe you are wondering what you can do to control this curve. You can't control it but you can disguise it so that regardless of how you really feel, you put your best foot forward where the rest of the world is concerned. And how do you do that? It's simple. Just remember that we take our emotions Lorn our actions, not our actions from our emotions. In other words, to feel cheerful. Just act cheerful. The next time you reach the low point of your emotional curve, try that Act cheerful, talk cheerful, and you will be 8282 J2-2- 0 mwu Don't wait send twenty-fivcents today for a copy of the Spring and Summei FASHION, our complete pattern magazine.
