Tom Robbins was ticketed as an undesirable. if there is one thing a WOman disâ€" likes more than a man who hates women it is a man who is afraid of women.

Maybe it was the strength in the blood of his Puritan ancestors. Maybe it was because he was' the only child of a widow who had been dead a little over a year. Maylbe, as Janet Melody once put it in a sacred inner circle at the Presbyterian Church bee, it was the Witch Burner in him. But Tom Robbins, it developed when he was about 24, had no sugâ€" gestions and no idea of leading any girl anywhere, especially not toward perdition. To tell the truth, Tom Robbins was girl-shy.

National StatiOn Tom Robbins was not a passion- ate young man. It was a shame too the younger women of Scarborough Massachusetts, admitted to each oth- er, because he had so much to start with. He was tall, well-built, dark, and grey-eyned. His nose was hawk- like and his mouth was firm. He had the makeâ€"up that compelled any woman to obey him, take his sugges- tions and follow his lead, even if he led them to perdition.

It painted the de- lights of sapphire seas and doral islands. It showed pictures of shape- ‘ly young girls in next-to-no‘thinq bathing suits. Tom’s embarrassed eyes passed the girls and took in the scenery and found it wonderful. He counted up his savings and found was peeking in the windows. Once he asked me to marry him. 1‘1“ an- ‘swerine‘ him now. Tom Robbins. I iwouldn‘t marry you if you were the ilast man on earth. Because you are :a coward. You are afraid of woman. Tom Robbins didn’t say anything to that. He just stood there. He seemed to be listening carefully and critically. But he really was para- lyzed. He listened because he could- n’t get up the strength to leave the hall. And he heard every word she said. And it burned into his heart as though the message was a brand- ing iron. When she had finished he made her a little bow, and walked out of the place. He felt as though he were the victim of some pestiâ€" lence. He wanted to be alone in Scarborough. But he found he couldn’t be alone in Scarborough. Everybody met him and everybody greeted him with a faint sneerâ€"or so he thought. One man, Jed Hiley, laughed at him and said somethingr about “any guyI that's afraid of women.” Tom knock- ed him cold, and walked away, leav- ing him where he had knoeked him. Finally one night, she enticed him into making a fool of himself. She asked him to take her to a dance in Maiden. He leaped at the oppor- tunity. And at the dance she stopp- ed the music and raised her 'voice. “Ladies and gentlemen,” she said. “I want you all to know that Tom Robbins is a snoop and a sneak. Last summer he saw me in bathing at night. He’s been chasing after me ever since. But he is not man enough to me. “No! He sneaks about it. I can feel his eyes on me every place I go.

You sneak! You snoop! Lying there spy- ing. I’ll call Marshall Kent. Get out of here, I say!” And Tom Robbins got out. He got out running. He never stopped running until he got home and then he got undressed and quickly climb- ed into bedâ€"Where he lay all night awake, thinking of Janet Melody. Saying her- name. Desiring her. "7“Janet!" He almost whispered. She heard him and stood, suddenly stiff and frightened as though she had been turned into stone. Her arms crossed themselves in front of her body an ds-he leaned over to hide herself. Now, of course he had grown up with Janet Melody. He had- sat be- side her in grammar school and in front of her in study hall at high school. He had gone on picnics of which she had been the belle. He had listened half-eared as she sang in the Scarborough Presbyterian Church. You might say he had her under his eye for all her life. But he had never really seen her until this summer night. He had worked for eleven hours that day, calking a boat belonging to old‘ Esquire Williams. It was nearly) midnight when he stretched himself out on the beach and went to sleep. He was awakened 'by the sound of a slight thrilling scream and he sat up quickly. He saw a merâ€" maid ccme out of the surf. She waded through the surf and came out upon the beach. ' And hot fire leaped in Tom Rob bins. His eyes half-clused and he said to himself. “I have never felt life till now." And then he said to himself. “I must have Janet.” And then he made a mistake.

Janet’s nose was slightly tilted as she came toward him. and when she came abreast of him she raised it higher. Tom never noticed. He went right on. He got out on the deck late that night with a girl whom he had never seen before. But she was very com- panionable. He had a nice evening. r As the days went on he found that he had been wasting all the years of his life. Women liked him. When he arrived home in Scarbor- ough he had almbst forgotten Janet Melody until the second day after It had begun to percolate into his mind that this girl might feel good in his arms out on‘ the deck under the moon. He steered her toward the door leading to the deck, but another girl, a blonde cut in on them. She danced him around the floor and took up the tale where the other had left off. In their two hours of conversation she convinced him that any girl who had him in her clutches and let him go was just a plain ordinary little fool. Tom began to think he was in love with her. He danced several dances with her, liking it a lot when she held him closeâ€"so that she could follow his lead on the dance floor. Tom Robbins sighed with boredom. But it was something he had to do so he did it. He bought himself the rudiments of a cruise outfit. It cost him nearly} $200. It was the best investment he ever made. It developed there were 30 men sailing on that cruise and 380 wo- men. None of these latter were backward and none of them hesitat- ed that they admired Tom Robbins, his broad shoulders, his long arms and legs and the cut of his head. Several people told? him so. One of them, the one he found huddled cry- ing on the deck justtoutside his stateâ€" room door proved it to him after he had restored her to some calm by sending for a highball for her. he had. five hundred dollars. The next day he left for New York. A worldly wise ticket clerk who sold him the cruise ticket'hinted that he ought to have some clothes to wear on the trip. “There’ll be a lot of women a- board,” he informed. “And they like to see a man in white ducks.
