REC|TALH0NORS
SHARED

Joint recital honors were shared
yesterday by Lucrezia Bori. Metro
politan Opera soprano, and Paul
Kochanski, the Polish violinist at
Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's twenty
fifth musical morning at the May
flower Hotel.
Miss Bori. in excellent voice, sang
an interesting group Of numbers,
the finest of which were her arias
from 'Mignon" and Ia Boheme,
and d group Of Spanish folk songs.
KocKansEi, master of one Of the
orchestra's most difficult instru-
ments, was just as compelling IN
his artistry as Miss Bori, though
their mediums are so different, COM
parsons are out Of the question.
Vivaldi's Concerto in "A Minor
provided Kochansli with three
movements of magical music. which
he interpreted with unmatched vir-
tuosity; his co1oring and emotional
phrasing were a tribute to his
great genius.
A touch of old Spain also tinted
his program. Manuel de Falla's
''Danse du Feu' proved one Of his
most fascinating numbers.
The twin-artists' program was per-
haps the most delightful Of all the
Townsend musical mornings to
date.

Members of the board of actuaries
of the retirement fund. Joseph ,.
Mccoy and Herbert ID. Brown, ad.
mitted to the committee that higher
salaried employees of the Govern
ment would not get. out OF the
fund what they had paid into II
until they died.
Such employees, the actuaries adj
mitted, could get more from the
fund in cash by resigning before
they were retired than by waiting
for retirement and drawing their
money in annuities.
How 1t Would Work
They said that an employee get
ting SIS, 900 a year during 80 years
of service would contribute $175 q
year to the fund, which together
with interest would amount to
about $4,000 when he retired which
he would get back in annuities at
the rate of 1000 year, the MAXI
mum annuity.
According to the law of averages,
however, the employe would only
live about eight or nine years and
so the balance would be paid to his
estate when he died. :.
The only way this employe could
get back what he had put into the
fund. the actuaries admitted, was
to resign just before he reached
the retirement age The law would
then require that the $4,000 be re-
turned to him in cash.
In contrast to this example the
actuaries pointed out the case OF
low sa1aried employee on salary
Of 81 900 a year. He would pay in
&35 a year which after 80 years
would amount to about $4,000. He
would draw an annuity of 1865
wear for eight or nine years which
would return to him $4,000 for the
81 900 he had paid to the fund.
Actuaries Warning
During their testimony the ac-
t,Iariea very strongly warned the
COMMITTEES against allowing optional
retirement after 80 years service,
a. proposed in several bills now be-
fore the House, unless a minimum
age limit is added to the law. They
said the optional retirement without
> minimum age limit would increase
| the cost to the Government beyond
all proportions.

Of the House will probably report

can love you so much. Do you
think it Is nice for you to feel
too good to acknowledge your old
friends? What gives you such a
swell head? am Just as good as
you are, Eddieever BIZ"
Her charges stung him with
humiliation. Falsely, she was
putting him In the shoes Of a
hypocrite. He told himself that
he was spurning all that was
sordid in his past--not that he
was turning against old friends,
but none of this he was able to
nut into language that would
penetrate her passion-heated
understanding.
I'm not Negotiating you,
Rernice,'' he said, but you don't
get my angle-that's all"
Her eyes softened.
I'm crazy about you. Eddie,
and whatever you do. I'll stay
the same, that's the way I'm
built"
She pressed clinching hand
quickly to her breast. IT'S in
me-herer'
The situation was hopeless.
Eddie's cold relaxation that he
would have to stand firm and not
be swept off his feet by this lurid
catastrophe of love, gave him,
suddenly, the outward poise of
negligent GOODNESS. One thing he
could not do-he could not beg
her, he could just plead. And
after all, he could not believe she
really meant to cause him un.
happiness.
IAN right, Kid" he said, with
a sudden smile that masked his
feelings. You'll just have to
do the best way you can. I'll
have the horse hitched to the
buggy and I'll drive you into
town myself"
1t was the quickest way to get
rid of her. Now, when she knew
she could not stay under his roof
the keen edge Of her first dis
appointment grew dull; she was
even able to laugh a bit and ex-
claim naively over the unfamiliar
objects of the country.

And even when he got Bernice
out Of the house-even then he
had to face added complications.
If she remained visitor, as she
threatened. in the county seat,
her presence would invariably stir
wide attention and gossip. A girl
of Bernice's type in the oid-fasl1
toned community would set all
tongues wagging. She was too
vivid. too conspicuous to escape
notice. She would hang over him
with suspended menace. People
would learn about her. who she
was and where she came from
and her infatuation with him. Bit
by bit the past would be revealed
and scandal would scorch him
with leaping flames.
In anguishing nervousness he
realized that. sooner or later. he
would have to explain all of this
to the Thorndikes. Motley prob
ably wouldn't even let him ex-
plain. He faced Bernice desper-

with little hope of success.
