CHRISTOPHE ENTERTA|NS
By DEMING SEYMOUR

The gabled house of brown stone on Fifth Avenue was the place Judith Wilbur called home.
 Built by her father in the eigh- ties, it was engulfed now by busi- ness, but Judith kept it for it's memories. For two months year, at the spring and autumn equi- noXes of the social season, its win dows were unboarded and Cortland Wilbur's widow presided at gay parties.
 The rest of the yess-:. Judith roved pleasure bent. From Bar Harbor to Naples to Miama Beach. Then the mansion was dark, and it's cus- todian was Christophe, Swiss house man.
 In mid-December, Christophe con- ceived a reckless caprice. Judith was wintering, as usual, in Flor ida. She'd never know. So Christi mas eve he took his wife, their g. year-old Amelia and Baby Johann to the empty Wilbur home for an evening around a roaring fire place.
 The four sat on the floor and told Christmas stories.
 At a few minutes to Judith Wilbur climbed into a taxi at the Pennsylvania station and told the driver to take her to the St. Regis. Fine businessl having to return to New York in midwinter, but if she could sell that Seventh Avenue corner she'd be well rid of it. Judith never trusted others with her major business deals.
 As the cab whirled up Fifth Ave- nue she looked out upon her home and thought she saw a gleam of light through shuttered windows. At the St. Regis whim turned her back on foot to the mansion
 Christophe heard a step in the hall and turned to see his mis- tress in the doorway. She said:
 Tt is party? Won't you in- troduce me?"
 Christophe blanched, then bowed low.
 Mrs Wilbur, My little flock! My wife and our babies-Armelia Baby Johann"
 Judith seemed darkly amused. She tossed her coat into corner and her erstwhile hosts masked their uneasiness with silence. Fish ing from her blouse a moist stick of candy she thrust it at Mrs. Wilbur.
 Thank you, pretty little girl" said Judith. What lovely yellow hair"
 Christophe got more lvgs, and Amelia grew volubly friendly.
 The children listened agape while Judith recalled for them other

RP.R.-D.F.D. HOOP
 GAME POSTPONED

The basketball game that was scheduled to be played between the Douglas Bremen and the B. P. R. teams in the City League next Tuesday evening in Douglas has been postponed one week.

R.'s and Art Burke, of George Bros, will round out the Moose team that leaves for Haines on the army boat Torrance at 2 o'clock Mon day morning.

UNION CARPENTERS
AGAIN REJECT CUT
Majority Against SO a Day
Compromise, Affecting Pri-
vate Construction.

BY large majority vote, members
of the Carpenters District Council have
rejected compromise offer of SO day
for union carpenters employed on pri-
vate construction work here. it was re-
ported today by union officials.
This Is the second time the union car
penters have voted to reject cut in
wages proposed by the Master Builders
Association, organization Of local con-
tractors The first came with rejec-
tion of a proposed cut from S11 day
to So. Following negotiations lasting
several weeks, the employers then of
fered SO a day, and this was rejected
at a meeting last night.
Meanwhile, contractors on private
work have declared an open-shop policy,
saying they will continue to employ
union carpenters, but only at reduced
wage scale. The moves to cut the car
penters' pay do not affect those en-
gagged on Government work, which
come under operation of the prevailing
wage law, under which $11 was set as
the existing schedule.
Less than so carpenters are said to
have been affected by the lockout" or
dered by the contractors following re-
fusal of the carpenters to accept the
proffered reduced wage scale.
Both union and employer officials in
dicated today efforts would be renewed
to arrive at a compromise agreement,
to replace the one which ended May l.
