New Electric Clocks Tell "Tickless" Time
Banjo clocks are new again

Banjo clocks are new again.
 American to the very tick, they were certainly popular early in the last century. Their new popularity is due not only to their very real grace, but to the new reproductions worthy of adorning the most blue blooded of antique rooms.
 Over mantel is just the place for banjo clock - with a wall ernor Winthrop or spinet desk, a banjo clock grouped with two or three interesting silhouettes achieve just the right atmosphere.
 The banjo clock in the hall smiles a pleasant welcome. Even if there is little space, a banjo clock and a little tip-top table arc enough to say 'home."
 With smaller rooms and more 10 put in them, grandfather clock IS in many homes retiring in favor of the new grandmother clock. Small CT and slenderer, the grandmother clock still manages to retain that restful and benign air.
 From the hall the clock has come into the living room. Often, just by being there. it creates cheer where once was only corner. be- hind a chair or in a narrow space O. wall.
 But their colonial cases are de- captive. These clocks have come to be modern. There is no wind ing, cleaning, oiling or setting. You simply plug them into light socket and electricity does the rest
 If you are sentimental, you may miss the tick, but perhaps you can be consoled with the chimes, which are just as musical. There is no tumble of wheels and wheels-onIy a little electric motor. The electric generator i1 the central power house does all the work and keeps all the clocks on the line at the same time, the right time.
 While it eliminated a lot of good excuses for tardiness, the new cleo

 My mind emphatically echoed that lame conclusion, however, and I knew that Lillian also was en- dorsing it. This was one occasion where I could spare both of them all ordeal dstasteful to Harry, paiu- ful to Lillian. I could make imper- scnal inquiries concerning the con- dition of Robert Savarin and senI the message 10 his sister which l knew without her speaking that L'l' Ian wished me to send.

 What say, We stroll around th2 Winter landscape, too, Mrs. Under wood?" Mary suggested, and Lillian agreed eagerly, As l entered the garage to ask for a telephone, I saH her take Mary's arm and begin 10 walk swiftly up the road. l knew that she was finding in the action q bit of relief for her nerves, tensed almost to the breaking point.
 The Phone Call
 My own nerves were none too steady by the time I had struggled with the long distance operator and triumphed to the extent of getting a call through to the Hasbroucks, the kindly efficient people, neigh bors of the Cosgroycs, who, VIC hoped. would give us lodging. But I forced my voice to calmness as Mrs. Hasbrouck's pleasant musical voice came over the telephone.
 This is Hasorouck's. Who is call ing. please?'
 You probably do not remember me, Mrs. Hasbrouck," I said. T am Mrs. Richard Graham, and I stayed at the Cosgrove home during sever- al vacations. Mrs. Underwood was with me part of the time
 Indeed, I remember you very well. Mrs. Graham" she returned, with delicate, implied flattery in her impressive courtesy which I re- membered as one Of her pleasing lrannerisms What can l do for you this wintry night"
 You can tell me first the condi- ton of MT. Savarin,' l said, coming to the point directly.
 He is no .wor-c tonight" she said promptly and gravely. That js the best that one can say. Irs. Cos grove told me just q few minutes ago when l went over. But you know. l guess. that it is only a . matter of few weeks at the very .longest, 4!d it may be days or even hours
