Tim McCannell and Miss Mama have an amusing '40th wedding anniversary, at no-expense. FROM HIS VANTAGE POINT IN THE PARLOR Morris could see that he might have trouble starting his plan for the day. Miss Mama was still fussing with the breakfast dishes. Any other Sunday morning she would hare been thru the housework and digging contentedly in her tiny garden. But maybe, he reasoned, she, too, was remembering what today was and enjoying It in her silent way.

"Now, Miss Mama," he teased, shaking his white head waggishly. wawiww ii.ii,uutim,ti,..i,iiii '''J mumi iflr rn HjjVi wm. nuts mi is. fSSSKSSfu "don go pretendln' you don't know what today is!" "I never put much stock in pre-tendin. Tim McCannel," she answered In mock severity.

"I know as well as you what day it Is. Any woman's been married 40 years to the day don't forget it so easy." Tim's laugh was low, almost soundless. Furtively, he pulled from his coat pocket the gaudy red, white, and blue ribbon with the big green card attached. He read the printing and chuckled to himself. He hadn't had a piece of luck like this for years it was the very thing! If only he could get Miss Mama out of the house, he was sure she would get a whale of a kick out of it.

young couple in the seat directly behind them had a red, white, and blue ribbon with a green cord like Tim's, and to Miss Mama this was introduction enough. "How long you two reen married?" she beamed. Tim held his breath. The couple just smiled. Tim sighed with relief.

Miss Mama's cheeks shone like polished apples. "We Just hjf oir 40th-been wonderin all day bow we done It!" The narrow gondola moved into the gloom. Miss Mama braced her feet against the floor. "No moo-chin' now, Tim McCannel." But when he put his arm tightly around her, she leaned her cheek tenderly against his. Tim was thinking how good the years together had been.

And he knew Miss Mama was, too. He was what the world called a poor man. There hadn't been many good times or "extras" but on the other hand, the bad ones had been lessened by their affection. They had had so little, and yet so much. As the street car hurried them homeward, he let the berlbboned green card fly casually thru the open window.

"Now, Tim McCannel, I wanted to save that for a keepsake!" she protested. He patted her hand a long time before he spoke. "Never mind, darlln', we got the day for a keepsakealways." He would never tell her that the green card read: "Plumber's annual picnic. All rides free," or that he had picked it up on the street only yesterday. Cseyri(M- IMS By Nr Syndicate Ce.

Sally Requests Clothing for Needy Persons (Sally Joy Brown department activities are a pons ore by Chicago Tribune Charities. Inc.)

NO MORE pinned the gardenia on Miss Mama's shoulder with an exaggerated flourish. Miss Mama's chin dug into her shoulder to watch the ceremony and Tim saw the sudden trembling of her throat. "Tim McCannel, you've lost voir wits," she said with a Quaker. "But I thank you for it!" She gave him an unexpected peck on his mustache and followed him thru the doorway to the hot pavement. A trolley came along almost at once.

When they were seated, Tim, pleased as a school boy with newly won marbles, dug in his pockets for the red, white, and blue ribbon with the green card attached. He saw Miss Mama's eyes quicken with ctriosity as he pinned the badge on his lapel, patted it fondly, and waited. "What in the world?" exclaimed Miss Mama. "That's my gardenia," he teased. "Fiddlesticks," she said and leaned closer.

"Let me see that thing." She squinted. "That's what comes of not havin my glasses. Read what it says." "Wedding Anniversary day at Carlins' Amusement park," he read slowly. "Carlins? H-m-m." Miss Mama settled back, obviously impressed. "That's a new wrinkle Weddin Anniversary day.

But it must have cost a pretty penny, Tim McCannel." not so much," he deprecated, grinning with his ears. "Wearin' this ticket we can ride on everything." At the big gate, Tim held her arm and tipped his hat to a guard. "Been married 40 year today," he hazarded. "Bragging about It?" The guard shook his head sourly. "Miss Mama, we've.

been needln' a treat like this for a long time," Tim said. In a way they almost made up for the lack in the next three hours. With the exception of the roller coaster. Miss Mama missed no attraction on the grounds. Once or twice Tim thought with alarm that she was on the verge of comparing notes with other be-ribboned and ticketed couples but he managed to keep her to himself until they entered the tunnel of love.

Tim saw with misgivings that she could no longer bear her happiness without sharing it. The A 1Q0 GIFT FOR YOU ri WPM is worm 10c i p7 towant parctiise of 1 ft I VI 9T.

"But I got a little surprise for you. Go on, now. Get spruced up. I'm gonna take you somewheres." Miss Mama put up the polished china tea pot, then spoke: "Tim McCannel, 40 year weddin anniversary or not. no janitor's got anything to throw away on galli-vantin'." "Now that's just where you're wrong.

This Janitor has." Tim made a courtly bow and looked mysterious. Tim was flushed with excitement at the prospect of the day ahead. "Go on, now. Put on your purty green dress with them sailboats aflyinV "You're daft. Tim." she gave him an affectionate glance, "but I'll do it.

Just to humor you, mind." Methodically she untied her striped apron and headed for the bedroom behind the kitchen. Despite the fact larger hurdles lay ahead Tim executed an uncomplicated jig which took him to the' back porch. There he drew from the ice box a small mayonnaise jar covered with brown paper which he had hidden last nighi behind a crock of baked beans. pulled off the paper and smiled tenderly at the gardenia. This, plus the trolley fare, would be his sole expense for the day, and his huckster friend, Jake Muth, had given it to him for 15 cents, considering the occasion.
