This Week’s Cover
- Once when Alajalov was visiting on Nantucket, the party-line phone rang two and he, being alone at the moment, picked up the receiver and found that a young man was making romantic statements to a young woman. After eavesdropping for half an hour, the artist decided maybe he was eavesdropping, and hung up. Soon the phone again rang two, and Alajalov found that it was the same girl and a different man, but the girl never once mentioned that she was being heard before. Sweet things he had just heard before. After a third different man had gone through the works, Alajalov was in love with Miss Ring Two himself. So then did he, a bachelor, marry the girl, and thus make us a swell story? He did nothing, the quitter, but paint a cover.
