He looks at her and decides that she is nothing to write home about. Besides, he already has more than one postmistress. Engaged to a widow in Altoona (Angela Lansbury), he has just ended an affair with Artist Patricia Barry, and is warmly entreating the blonde (Barbara Nichols) at the hotel newsstand to be his "secret pal" for the night.

"If we won 69 games and lost only one," grouses Goalie Glenn Hall, "the fans would boo us for that one loss." But things are looking up. Last week's victory over Boston was the Hawks' fifth straight.
