Not that anyone had to tell him, either, To him it came naturally. rents marveled at their to stick to the facta, and they predicted his career as a “private eye” even before the days of television. When other Kids his age were flashing baby teeth smiles over nursery rhymes, Tommy would shake his head sadly and say, “Impossi- ble.” A mouse would not climb ups clock, Tommy insisted. Any lady in her right mind couldn't live in a shoe, he point ed out angrily. The worst mis- take his mother made was taking Bits x avis clled "Alien me Wonderland.” "Kid stuff,” he said, very un- impressed at the age of eight years, “Just a waste of time.” ‘Tommy's friends never knew exactly what to make of him. He would tail after them, always very serious looking, yet hardly ever join their games of make eve. “How about playing cows boys?" they would ask. * “Without a horse?” asked Tommy diadainfully. ‘That's the way it was.

He had never been able to sit through a film withous looking it over for flaws, In one dramatic scene Tommy leaned over and pointed out to Kitty that the heroine had changed her hair style in the space of minutes, a glaring error that would never be possible in real: life, When the leading 10 man’s pocket handkerchief dis- appeared the moment he walked through a revolving . door, Tommy was beside himself with dismay, He raved on and on during the picture until « few people in the audience turned around to stare at him. Kitty sat there quietly. “Did you Fke the picture?” Tommy asked on the way home. “What I managed to hear of it” Kitty answered laughingly, Tommy blushed, "I guess I got carried away with those technical errors,” he admitted. “I'm a stickler for realism.” "Then maybe Ta better not ask you to the party a friend of mine is giving « week from now,” said Kitty. "It's a Come- in- Costume party.

That's supposed to be a aurprise until you get there, I'll be lots of fun.” Tommy nodded helplessly. If it had been anyone but Kitty... He shuddered at the thought of auch foolish goings-on, wonder- ing if he could go through with it when the moment came. The evening of the party Tommy almost changed his mind about going. If it weren't for Kitty and this chance to meet her friends, he wouldn't have gotten himself into such a mess. He couldn’t wear a costume, he decided, because it wasn't in himself’ to put on anything make-believe. He couldn't dis- appoint Kitty and not show up, 30 he wore hia usual blue suit.

There were no houses here. He stared anxiously about him until he saw among the tree- tops, not too far away, a colorful glimmer of lights. “That must be the party!” he decided.

She should have come by now.” The King grinned good. naturedly. “Listen, son... you head back in the direction you came from, There's a store way down the road with a telephone gadget. We're not wired for that sort of thing out in this neck of the woods.” Tommy waved his hand and set off. He was amazed at him. self for regretting thar he and Kiny were missing out on part of the fun.
