' her. He told himself furiously
that he did not mean to be doubly
a cad! He had loved her, behaved
badly to her, and so lost her as he
deserved. But had he, had he lost
her? Her dark blue eyes regarded
him: her smile was gay, tender.
Keith said to himself over and
over: Il am crazy to think she's
more than Just courteous. Her
husband Will be home soon; she
won't have time for me then. She's
iust-like the darling she is-try-
ing to reassure me-"
The days that remained for
them dwindled He thought: AS
soon as Gilbert comes, I'll talk to
Felicia. There'll be nothing to
wait for then" But surely there
was nothing to wait for now! Ex-
cept to cherish each hour Of De-
nise's company that remained,
since it was scarcely likely that
their lives again would bring them
many hours together.
Denise's unsuspecting parents,
who so thoroughly disliked him
and so politely endeavored to con-
ceal that-seemed glad that she
was Chaperoning her sister. Some
times their utter lack of suspicion
made him ashamed. But the time
grew so short that nothing mat
tered except to SAVIOR the little time
that was left. Blessedly, they were
to have their last day alone.
Well, he did not mean to mar
that day by any exigent word-un-
til when they came back from
swimming, went to have tea in the
garden. and he realized that day
TOO was almost finished. He sat
watching her, conscious OF the
warm, fragrant air, of the far
off tinkle of fountain at the far
end of the garden path.
Then he remembered! The
tinkle of a fountain in the breath
less, scented air of a New York
city garden. The precise look of
Eustice Dayne's controlled, un-
happy face, his voice: You do
mean to take care of Felicia" In
his mind that voice echoed loud,
as if Eustace were shouting it
across the quiet of that English
garden where he had never been.
Denise looked startled. What
is it. Keith! You had, just for a
second, the strangest expression,
as if something frightened you"
He laughed uncertainty. Some
thing almost did-the sudden
vividness of a memory"
"of something that happened
to us?"
mo, curiously. OF Eustace
Dayne's face, last time I ever saw
him" He went on slowly: And
of a promise ! made to him."
He saw from her face that she
understood we'll enough. So still
she sat, with her hands folded in
her lap now, those lovely hands
that looked fragile as the teacups
on the table:
(He thought: "a promise I
mean to keep-and yet He
said aloud: Denise, I'd rather you
were sure. It's you that I will love
always"
Wide, clear, her eyes stayed
fixed on his face. She did not
speak.
The Washington times., 1937-03-29
CHAPTER XVIII

Tell me, Denise. that you care.
No reason you should but tell me
you do" pleaded Keith.
Those eyes that were clear as a
childS were appraising now. He
waited, his heart pounding. He
watched her lovely face harden.
For an instant, watching her, he
knew how she would look when
she was not young any more.
But she did not speak, because
she could not. 1t was cruel that
those words of his, SO reckless OF
her sisters pride, of his honor,
and of her own, should force her
to judge him at last: He was
charming still, and still he had the
capacity to stir her; but he had no
steadineSs at all, nor very much
strength. She could make him
waver in his affection for Felicia,
as Felicia had been so quickly able
to make him forget his affection
for her. And yet-and yet as he
was, she had loved him and per.
haps still did.
He knelt, put his head against
her lap. Why, he was trembling! !
That trembling tore her heart.
Still she did not answer those
words of his: Tell me that you
care"
All those weeks she had waited
for those words, and now would
never answer them. Because,
though perhaps she never would
want Gilbert as much as she had
wanted this man kneeling beside
her, she would not betray Gilbert
by single disloyal word. So much
his love deserved of her, surely.
But she touched Keith's brown
head lightly with her finger-tips,
waiting until she was sure her
voice would be calm enough to say
goodby.
She heard Gilbert saying her
name. Denise looked up and
saw him standing there. Keith goU
to his feet, and so did she. She saw
FeliCla's face behind Gilbert, and
estimated accurately enough what
| mad happened.
But steadily she said: Gilbert,
you must not, you simply must not.
think any of the things you are
thinking. I shall talk to you, as
soon as we are alone" She walked
across the terrace and into the
house. Gilbert stood aside to let
her pass.

The Breaks of the Game.

Base ball is game of combined skill
and luck. In the main skill determines
the result, but luck plays an important
part. A ball batted directly toward an
inf1elder, with sure put-out seemingly
to follow, may strike divot of turf or
q pebble and bound out of the reach
and lead to deciding run. Such was
the case in 1924 when the Washington
team won world championship by Just
such a freak, when McNeely's sharp
bounder toward the third baseman
hoped over his head and, run was
scored that gave the flag to the Nationals.
Yesterday at New York, where the
two league champions, both of that
city, were battling for the first round of
the interleague championship, luck
played an important part. The Giants
of the National League were in front,
one to nothing, and their pitcher seemed
good for the route. Then he walked"
the opposing pitcher to start the sixth
inning, that being in itself bad break.
A base hit followed and the Yankee"
pitcher went to second, where he seemed
to lose his caution, for he took . bit

too much ground and was q mark for
the alert Giant catcher, who threw per-
fectly to second to trap him. The short
stop took the ball in position to make
the put-out-and muffed 1t, an error of
unusual character. That was the break
Of the game. For then followed hit after
hit and seven runs were scored before the
side was retired, enough to win by
big margin.
OF course, 1t cannot be sure that If that
ball had not been muffed the result would
have been different. But it gave the
Yankees their chance and they took it
with vengeance. Perhaps the error
unsettled the pitcher. Possibly it was
reckoned as "jinx," and base ball play
ers are prone to belief in malevolent
chances. At any rate, that error led
directly to the scoring of seven runs and
the loss of the first game OF the series.
Morale is a large factor in base ball
as in all other sports. Even a veteran
pitcher is subject to the influence Of q
needless misplay, especially when he
faces team of powerful batsmen. It
may turn out that that single error
will determine the 1887 world cham
pionship, just as the erratic bounder Of
McNeely in 1924 brought a world cham
pionship to Washington.

Lack of Information on
Quo WarrantO Procedure
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star
There seems to be lack of informa-
ton in the matter of the procedure in
quo warranto actions. This may be due
to the fact that there are so few cases
of this kind.
The proper relator in such proceed
ings is the highest legal official or repre-
sentative within the jurisdiction, whether
Nation, State or county. But the in
terest of the public is not to be lost or
forfeited because an official should fail
or refuse to discharge his duty. On the
failure OF proper official to proceed in
such cases a citiZen-taxpayer-m re-
quest or demand personally that the
official proceed. Then in case of refusal
the citizen may become the proper
relator and institute and prosecute the
action. But in his petition he must aver
and prove on the hearing that the de-
mand was made and that the officer
refused to proceed. If the action is such
that the proper relator may be liable
for costs, then the demanding taxpayer
must pay or guarantee the payment OF
all costs that may accrue.
Where there is any public sentiment
or demand that an officers title should
be tested the sense of duty on the part
Of the proper relator should override all
personal feeling. II the title to an Office
is doubted or questioned the holder of
the office as matter Of honor should
welcome test of right. Such proceed
ings are often friendly in their nature.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

Among the amazing art creations Of
the human mind the great symphonies
must stand first.
There are no other works which bring
to many persons quite the same amaze
ment.
Great books, great paintings, great
buildings
These are understandable, but q
symphony isn't.
An average listener with some moderate
degree of musical knowledge will always
greet these works with the same degree
OF wonder.
How could any human create them?
That is what he will never under
stand
He may read about the sonata, the
fugue, about counterpoint, about the
workings out and complexities OF musical
composition and development. he may
have theoretical grasp Of all these to
some degree and yet never come to any
real understanding Of just how q human
could do it.
Since humans have done 1t, however.
he must admit that humans can do it.
But the number Of really great musical
works called symphonies is extremely
limited
There is all the difference in the world
between an imitation symphony, lacking
the real essence, and the great master
works.
The latter are only mere handful in
comparison with the vast number OF
orchestral compositions.
There are, of course, large number
OF limitations, works which lack the i'm
mortal fire, the genuine musical invention
and creative development which consti-
tute the perennial charm Of the master
works.
1t must be kept in mind that in saying
that great novels, paintings, buildings
are understandable, and great symphonies
are not. one will not mean the content.
whether or not symphony has mean
ing" in the popular sense, the creation
OF one is something which is not under
Standable by an average mind.
The listener, trained or unframed, will
never exactly grasp just how any man
could combine the instruments, know
just when or how to make the wood
winds come in to get certain effects.
He will never quite understand how
some of the orchestration could ever have
been conceived by the mind Of man.
There are, in every one Of the truly
great symphonies, certain effects which
FAR transcend anything Of q similar
nature in any other sort Of music.
1t is not always understood that these
works contain perfect examples, not only
OF hymn-like melodies, perfect songs,
marches, dances, but that syncopation,
ragtime and even swing" are found in
a number of them.
X
The symphonies combine and perfect
all music.
The sympathetic listener can find every
mood possible to music in them.
He will realize these moods, as they
occur, and make them his own, if it is
possible for him to have 4 reasonable
acquaintance with the great examples,

Engine House Centenary.

hundred years, of course, is mere
fragment of infinity; yet a centennial is
important. Residents of Washington

the centenary of the Nations Capital,

taking formal cognizance of the fact
that the Union Engine House, at Nine
teenth and H streets, will be ten decades
old on October %.
Asiatic and European communities,
representing less youthful aspects of
civilization, are possessed of monuments
more definitely antique; but American
towns and cities do not envy them. In
stead, in the United States it is a Gus

ample, is not commonly supposed to sur

been constructed. Probably the spon-

and II he permits himself to listen with
out becoming mentally stampeded.
These requisites are best found ut
home, in listening to the modern phono-
graph using the modern records.
During the past Is years the art Of
recording has made marvellous advances,
only equaled by the music the modern
machine. with radio tubes, gives out.
1t Is no longer q question of making
the best Of an imitation.
The symphony as one may have 1t to-
day in the living room is the real thing.
1t Is there, to perfection, played by
master musicians.
In the old days the listener had to put
up with a good deal. He was required to
make the best Of things. The records
were not complete He was given, at
best, only q taste Of the symphonies.
Today he has them complete, with the
tone quality of the original music. This
Is the important thing. The feel" of q
great orchestra is there.
The tone Is there
1t Is not generally recognized, perhaps,
that each great orchestra, under the
leadership of q real conductor, has its
own tone color.
The tone, the boom" the solid under
lying tonal structure of the great orches-
ira is something to love and recall. There
Is nothing like it. Even the organ is only
an imitation. The piano is an imitation.
There is nothing like symphony or
chestra.
In order to get over the feeling of
strangeneSs, Of utter helplessness, which
hpSofS So m nv r,nrxooe in, lictapivp n
symphonies, it is not really necessary to
study music
All of us know a great deal about music,
whether we realize it or not. 1t is COM
forting belief. and one which has the
great merit of being fairly trpe.
All that is necessary for an average
music lover to get over the feeling of
reStlessness In the presence of a sym
phony orchestra is to hear it often
enough.
Familiarity will never breed contempt,
let him feel sure of that
There is that about these great works
which breeds, rather. restraint.
BY this we mean that the symphonies
OF the masters are not the stuff for every
day hearing.
The listener is sensible of the fact that
ne must not, he cannot play these beauti-
full things to death, as the saying is.
In handling them on the phonograph
he is not tempted to play them day after
day until he tires of them.
BY their very nature, as art works, they
inStill in the listener a certain sense of
proportion, that good restraint which is
part of their very being, which gives
them life and makes them surprising
art works at one and the same time
Music is alive. Music is not the printed
score, which is dead until the musicians
make it come to life, but the glowing
moving, colorful thing We hear. When
we are listening to symphony, either
in the concert hall or at home, We live
and move with the music, which is all
the greater because we simply cannot
understand how any human mind could
have evolved it.

Engine House still would be standing in

Engine House still would be standing in
1887.
One explanation Of the preservation
of the historic structure may be found
in the circumstance of its protection by
the Association Of Oldest Inhabitants,
whose meeting place the second floor
has been since 1909. Appraised for its
value to the Fire Department exclu-
sively, the edifice long ago might have
been demolished to permit its site to be
used as a parking lot. In its role as a
civic shrine, however, it has been safe
and secure. Another hundred years
should find it undisturbed.
Tradition is an asset if 1t stimulates
progress, and the time stained Engine
House has its function In that regard.
1t is, in its effect, something akin to
Faneuil Hall in Boston and independence
Hall in Philadelphia. The spirit OF a
neighborhood dwells within its walls. It
is place of memories which cannot be
allowed to fade-a hallowed spot In a
world which needs the dynamic of rev.
erence, gratitude and loyalty.

On Labor Leaders Who
Were Really Learned

To the Editor of The STIR:
Good old Doctor" Prey, king kleagle
OF the metal workers. has the reputation
OF being labors foremost scholar Why,
Oh, because it is said that he read Glib
bons' Decline and Fall of the Roman
Empire"
Well, hope he read it to better pur-
pose than I did. Where it deals with
battle, murder and sudden death I went
through its pages avidly. 1t was like
enjoying novel. But f1inched when
I got to the deep stuff. I either half
understood it or else did not grasp it
at all. There are the two famous chap
ters on the origins Of Christianity, and
the two that give us complete expose
OF the Roman concept of law.
II Mr.. Frey really read and digested
their contents then hail him as a sort
OF John Duns Scotus or st. Thomas of
AquinAs. The next time he addresses q
meeting he might tell his metal workers
how the ancient Romans engineered
their strikes and how the purpled
Caesars dealt with them. Quite likely,
they called out the Praetorian guard.
AS to Mr.. John L. Lewis reading
habits I don't know a thing. Their
range may extend from bloodhound
Adam Smith and John Stuart Mill
through Karl Marx and Thorsfein
Veblen clean across to the sun-kissed
declarations of the Democratic platform.
In the meantime have an idea that if
he confines his strikes to everything that
has been written about him plus a copy
Of the Life and Deeds of John L. Sui
ivan," why, he'll be kept busy for the
rest Of his life
And so what? Oh, a solid background
in history and social philosophy is
handy for the labor leader But there
are times in the storm and stress of
the convention floor when the mailed
fist" gets the results.

An Opposition Party.

for a strong opposition party to the
present Democratic New Deal admins
tration. The alternatives are the build
ing Of new political party or the rebuild
ing of the Republican party. Both plans
have their supporters.
The Republicans, apparently realizing
the plight in which the G. o. p finds
itself, are planning for a great conven-
ton Of party leaders and party friends.
Their hope is that out of such a con-
vention-such a meeting of minds
something definite, something that will
have its appeal to the great mass of
voters who are opposed to the policies
of President Roosevelt, will emerge
Their hope, too, is that leaders will
arise.
The Republican National Committee
has been called to meet November to
pass upon the proposed national conven-
ton plan. 1t is expected that the COM
mittee will approve. Whether such
convention can really accomplish any
ting effective, whether it will have its
appeal to the people generally, no one
can say positively. 1t does not appear,
however, that it can do any further
harm to the Republicans. The control
of the G. o. P. has slipped further and
further in Federal, State and county
governments. 1t has come almost to
the vanishing point in many of the
States and cities.
Those who believe that a strong op-
position to the Roosevelt New Deal can
arise only through the scrapping of the
old Republican party and the creation
of new party frankly predict the G.
o. P. is on the way out of the picture.
Even to those who have watched the
ineffective antics and ineffective leader
ship of the G. O. P. in recent years, this
prediction seems somewhat premature.
However, unless the G. o. P. can stage
something of comeback-not neces-
sarily in national elections, not in con-
municipal elections, during the next
year or two, the fate of the party may
we'll be sealed.
Supporters of the new party idea-to
supplant the G. o. P.-say that a coali-
ton of Republicans and anti-New Deal
Democrats is not feasible. The Repub-
tnc will Novt
Democrats for Office, and the Democrats
will not enter the Republican party
They may be right. Such a coalition
was tried last year, with Democrats like
Al Smith, Jim" Reed and others de-
claring against the reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and in support of the
election of Landon. 1t did not get half
way to first base.
With the known opposition of millions
Of voters, some in the Republican and
some in the Democratic party, to the
policies and tactics of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, which are endangering the
American form of government, fostering
hatreds, and sinking the country in
financial quagmire, the problem is to
show a united front against these
policies. The Republican party has its
opportunity. 1t has so far failed
lamentably as an opposition party. 1t
is still torn with dissensions, factions and
conflicting ideas. No leader to whom the
people look with interest has arisen.
There is none on the horizon. Once the
Republicans found an Abraham Lincoln
to lead them-when a demand for new
leadership was voiced in the country.
Can they find such another now?
