New York court rooms. High and
darkly painted with an institutional
impersonality and the smell of democ-
racy heavy in the air of them. There
was an intense political significance
forcing the issue in the Fraser trial
that pushed it along at breakneck
speed. Here was meat for the carving.
unexpected meat that couldn't be
allowed to spoil. And there would be
hellish jury trouble because all the de-
tails had been so thoroughly broad
cast. Married men, stupid men who
didn't read the papers. Men with no
opinions about models. Porters, abat-
toir men, labofers. Stolid men. And
women. Fat women with straggly hair
and the minds of ten-year-olds.
Renee sat listening to them answer,
watching them as people, not as people
who were going to do for her. but as
people called from their life routines
by authority of the law and who must
qualify to serve the law by acknowl-
edging a complete ignorance Of story
that had torn New York wide for al
most five weeks. Juries are incredible.
She watched her assigned counsel.
Milton Gross. A little man who had
starved his body to get law into his

There is time at shutdown when
life can stop for minute and the
calmness of everlasting peace comes
into it. Perhaps it is foretaste of the
peace that smooths the pathway into
the eternal outer darkness. There is no
knowing definitely, but there is an
acceptance of that peace with a deep
Rratefulness of spirit.
Renee and Stuart March stood at
the rail of the de erase. completely
enveloped in it for the moment. Each
of them felt it and both of them knew
it for what it was. Far down the
liners wake, lost miles behind in the
water mists, lay town called New
York, with all its noise and all its
furore. all its grief and all its JOY, so
definitely gone from them that there
was no remembering it in that mo-
ment - and suddenly they knew that
there would never be any remember
ing of it. For that is New York. Here

So they stood there, those two, and
the hands of them touched and they
knew in that moment that there is
only one definite thing in life. What
one man thinks of one woman and
what one woman thinks of that man.
Hold it if you can - for that is all
there ever is.

eyes and the world was good again

Baltimore Pros
Survive Fire

Baltimore professional golf stars,
enroute to Old Point Comfort, Va,
for the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.
championship play which gets un-
der way tomorrow over the Cham
berlain course, were among the
list Of survivors of the Inflated
City of Baltimore steamer.
Outstanding of the group is
Charley Betschler, Hillendale pro.
who is the defending champion.
Betschler was accompanied by
Bill Schreiver, Mt. Pleasant pro.
and Alex Taylor, of Rolling Road,
neither Of whom will be able to
play in the tourney.
Taylor sustained a badly in
jured back when he jumped into
a life boat, while Schreiver was

to being in the water for an hour
and a half.

the P. G. A. affair and was slated
to drive to the scene of the tour
ney with Schreiver, who will take
a position in the gallery.

I would like to add that, re-
CARELESS of what this gives him,
his story gave me something that

about his left hand and what he's
doing with it. He simply thinks
he's kidding the presS-for a few
headlines and whatever effect it
might have on Louis.
Briefly, Farr is the old-school
English type, who blocks with his
left shoulder and the crossed right
glove. And. if there's any queS-
ton about his style, it's whether
he can move faster with his
shoulder than Louis can with his
hands. Personally if was in a
hurry to pick up a loose dime on
the sidewalk, don't think I'd
do it with my shoulder.
Still, the guys evidently a

1t undoubtedly isn't, but you
