Verhovayak VERHOVAY Lapja Page 7 (Continued írom Last Issue) The doorbell rang and the girls were spared from having to make any reply. Nora’s case was better off undiscussed. She had a harrassed look and her clothes looked like they were serving just one more season. When in college, she had taken Madge into her confidence and told her about her plans to elope with George Riley. Her parents had objected severely, for she’s only known him for two weeks when she wanted to marry him. “But he’s leaving for the army next week,” Nora had wailed, “and I’ll miss him so. I want to marry him now.” All her parents’ attempts to reason with her had failed. They had tried to explain that this emotion of thinking about a long separation was not sufficient foundation for a marriage. But she had married him and had left college. A year later, Madge received a very self-indicting letter from Nora, which read in part: “Dear Madge: You and my parents had been right and I wouldn’t listen to you. I must write this to you, for I realize more than ever now, that you were the main­stay of our gang. After I left college, though my parents still bought me all the clothes wanted, I could not adjust my­self to my new life situation. I became discouraged and told George I regretted having married him. This statement ruined his morale — and shudder to even write this — the day he got my letter, he couldn’t concentrate on the exactness of his work, and due to a small error, met with a dreadful accident. It’s all my fault. I ruined his life, and his health. He’s at home now, hopelessly crippled. I now have a job and support my husband. Maybe, in a small way, I can . make up for the terrible injustice I did to ruin his life. I can now manage on a budget, for I refuse to accept help from my parents.” The doorbell was answered by the maid who admitted the dressmaker with a huge trunk. She had brought the gowns the delicate pink one for Charlotte, who was to be maid-of-honor, and the four pastel gowns for the brides­maids. And of course, she brought the important one the white satin gown for the bride. Joyous exclamations could be heard as the girls ex­amined the gowns and waited their turn to put on their own dress for a really unnecessary inspection for fit. Mrs. Smith, the dressmaker, was in addition to being very efficient, certainly LADIES AUXILIARY Branch 96 — Chicago, III. very conscientious about her work. Madge’s gown had been refashioned from her mothers gown. The sweetheart neckline, long tight sleeves and gathered skirt were made according to the current fashion. “Oh!” exlaimed Dorothea, “you do look lovely in that. I hke the style of it so much, that think, perhaps, I shall have mine made in a similar fashion. As Mrs. Smith measured and remeasured the hemline to see that it was absolutely .perfect within a twentieth of an inch, the girls sat around in the living room. Nora sat off alone, with a magazine which she had chanced to pick up. Soon she was so engrossed in it, that she was totally oblivious of what was going on around her. Claudia pulled up a stool, close ° Dorothea’s chair, and sai , Tell me about Stephen. I know you wrote that you met him at the hospital, where you’re a nurse, but what does he look like?” Dorothea, still as gentle to her manner as she had been in college days, and with an honest and level expression in her clear blue eyes, looked back at Claudia. “He’s a fine young man. He is tall and has black hair like yours. He is now postmaster in his town.” .. iiYes yes,” Claudia said, she leaned forward eagerly .“Now tell me how you met him.” “He had come to the hospital to see his sister and- had stayed to give a dying girl a blood transfusion.” Dorothea’s mind wandered back to the night about a year ago, which had been a night of much worry and consternation, a night of great fear and anxiety. For a child, greatly weakened by a long illness, had not had the bodily resistance to fight pneu monia, and had been in great danger of death. Only a blood transfusion could have saved her. Dorothea had been on du y in the office. She had searched alm0st Really for a tamer of the typo needed by the child She had carefully gone over all the long shelves in the large immaculate laboratory. Then she had looked through the files of names of people who had volunteered to give blood in case of need. After a dozen phone calls, without any success, she became worried “I simply must help that child live!” she had thought, just as a stranger spoke to her. “What can this young man b wanting ''at this hour?” she thought; but forced herself to speak patiently to him. res. she queried, as she nervously touched her red curls. The curls were always in perfect order, I am substituting for Irene Balia this month, because I think she has spring fever. However, I hope you will enjoy reading my writeup as much as hers. There are a few items to re­port upon; so, I guess I may as well get started. Marriages: Charles Fahren­bach and Irene Almasy gave all their friends a surprise by getting married secretly on March 4th. They are now residing at 11200 So. Vernon Ave. Margaret Ince traveled all the way to Bremerton, Washington to marry Sgt. Giraud Schasbuch on March 25th. It is understood she will be returning to Chicago shortly. John Chehy and Helen Ban­­revy were married April 17th, here in Chicago. Branch 96 and the Auxiliary wish to extend their heartiest congratulations to our newly married couples. News about our men in Service: Steve Demko was home recently on a 10 day furlough. He has already returned to Camp Shelby, Mississippi. He has been in the army since March 1942. Cpl. Steve Rozgonyi who has been recently transferred to Romulus Army Air Base, Romulus, Michigan, was home on a three day pass, which gave him the opportunity to see his brother, Lt. Andrew Rozgonyi. Andy has just received his Lieutenant Commission and got a 10 day furlough. He is re­turning to Ft. Monmouth, New Jersey, for 6 weeks of Officers training. A letter was received by our secretary a few day ago, from Andrew Dako to thank the members of our Auxiliary for the gift package. In his letter he mentioned he has been in Africa. By the way Andy is in the Navy. The Linchotens, who are now residing in Miami, Florida, look forward to reading the Journal to see what their friends here in Chicago are doing. The Auxiliary celebrated its second anniversary at the March meeting. A one act comedy “And the Lamp Went Out” was presented by a few of our talented members. Irene Balia was the heroine and Helen Reväy was the hero, Mrs. Denes Vargo, the heroine’s mother, Irene Fahrenbach, the villain, Olga Stratinsky took care of the sound effects, Yours truly was the narrator. Judging from the applause it appeared that the audience enjoyed the play very much. While the stage was being set for the play, com­munity singing was conducted by Mrs. Theresa Bankó, enter­tainment chairman, with piano accompaniment by Isabel Soltes. Refreshments were served after the program. New members acquired, Mrs. Marie Ross and Mrs. Revesz. As the Red Cross War Fund Drive is on now, the members all agreed that our Auxiliary also donate for this worthy cause. Our donation will be turned in with other Hungarian Organiza­tions from this community in one lump to the Red Cross. Mrs. Elizabeth Hartly, a mem­ber of Branch 96 and our Auxiliary, passed away April 13th. Two daughters, Mrs. Mary Sabo, Mrs. Betty Krumrie, and a son, John Hartly, four grand­children, three sisters and a brother survive. Members of the Auxiliary and Branch extend their sympathy to the family. This I think winds up the current news for now.

BUY WAR BONDS Talking It Over but when nervous, she always touched them to make sure. “Please, Miss,” the stranger said, “I would like to see my sister. She was vacationing in this state, and met with an ac­cident. May I see her?” “Visiting hours are over for this evening. You may see her at two P. M. tomorrow. Sorry.” She started to leave with these words of dismissal. He looked pleadingly at her. “But, Miss, I can’t stay in town that long. I have driven two hundred miles to get here, and if I leave in a half-hour, I’ll just get back in time to go to work in the morning. You see, I work in a defense industry, and we can’t have any time off.” (To be Continued) “Hi, there, fella! What’s your secret? Or is it a private affair?” “Oh, no, indeed!
