to dinner one night when he

maybe we'll run across him
tonight"
Tonight? Are we going out 2"
"A friend of mine, Basil Adding
ton, is taking us to dinner and a
musical. Well do night club or
two afterwards to initiate you.
Garry may be around. It's his
job to see what is going on"
Barbara could almost see a
small door opening into Paradise.
Tonight, maybe-But she only
wrinkled her nose and said:
Natalie, I feel as though ! have
wings! Hold me or I'll fly away
with joy!"
Natalie smiled indulgently.
Everything about Barbara flew
upward-hair, eyes, mouth, nose.
'New York won't let you fly too
high, my darling! Never fear"
The orange juice was sweet and
cold, the coffee ring crisp and hot.
And when breakfast was finished,
there was ride up Fifth avenue,
past the shops, Radio City and st.
Patrick's Cathedral, to street in
the east 'F'ifties where Natalie had
her apartment. Barbara scanned
the faces on the sidewalks. Some
day she would know some of these
people. Out there, somewhere
perhaps in the very throng at
which she gazed but more prob
ably in one Of the vast white
buildings-was Garry.
She brought the conversation
back to him again, and Natalie
talked of Garry's work.
''Is he engaged?" Barbara had
not meant to ask but the question
slipped out.
Natalie laughed. mo. darling.

never been talked about with any
girl, come to think Of it. He's a
hard working young man. Don't

rather have his violets than a

She drew her brows together. ut

someone a few timesEoh, yes.
Ruth Merryweather-you know,
the breakfast food millions. Ruth
Is a sweet child" !;
Barbara nodded happily. So he
wasn't engaged. Not even the
breakfast food millions could
dampen her happiness today.
Natalie's apartment was strict
~ modern. Chromium, white
leather, and scarlet draperies
made a stage set for her living
room. Barbara's bedroom was
done in black and silver. She felt
that she had stepped into a fairy
tale. Any minute, the miracles
would begin. She would stay here
for one week and then-well, even
q room in cheap hotel or room
ing house would be all right so
long as she was here where life
sang, wept, laughed, ached, and
acted!
Natalie, who went to her Office
in the afternoon, brought a long
white box with her when she came
at six o'clock. "A welcoming
present." she said.
The box held a shining, silken
dress Of yellow with a minute
cape that was little more than a
ruf1e for her face. There were
sandals, too.

no other way.

Christian Unity.

At Washington Cathedral this after
noon great service in the interest of
Christian unity is to be held, and the oc-
casion is worthy Of particular comment.
The Nations Capital, surely, is the
proper place for any demonstration Of
the power Of religious fellowship. Faith
is civili1ng force. Men can live to-
gether in peace and harmony when they
are agreed In loyalty to q single Prov
idence. 1t is only when that allegiance
is disturbed by other powers that turmoil
and strife develop.
But these fundamental truths need to
be rediscovered, and DR.. William Adams
Brown, preaching today at Mount st.
Alban, will have practical ways Of find-
ing them again as his theme. Ten
clergymen from an equal number of diff
ferent Washington congregations will
participate in the sacred program Each
will urge the self-evident beauty and
wisdom of the Psalmist's Injunction:
Behold, how good and joyful thing it
Is for brethren to dwell together in
unity!"
The service should be thronged with
people anxious and willing to share In a
cause 50 notably blessed.

Shakespeare.

b. The name Of william Shakespeare is
writ large In Washington. Nor is it any
accident that it should be so Indeed,
1t would be marvellous If it were other
wise. The Bard Of Avon, as Macaulay
said, has had neither equal nor second"
In the making Of the modern mind.
Millions Of people echo him, repeat the
aMoms which he established, without
being aware OF their debt. He lives in
the hearts Of multitudes, and there
could be no greater immortality.
One gifted for the work perhaps
eventually may write q history Of the
philosophy Of the American race. The
task Is that Of tracing q genealogy Of
ideas, following wisdom back to its
sources in souls possessed Of godlike
genius. Doubtless, the result would con-
tradict those pleasant theories which
argue that the masses generate their own
intelligence unguided. Yet there are
some who hold, not altogether without
reason, that . talent for appreciation,
natural in many humble spirits, Is In
itself q providential endowment richly
creative. TO have the capacity to enjoy
noble art, It might b contsnded, u to

And 1t has been shakespeares lot to

much as the Holy Scriptures have. He

presentation Of his deathless plays.
On the three hundred and seventy
fourth anniversary Of his birth yesterday,
Washington thought Of the stratford poet
with particular pride because here the
Shakespeare center of the universe Is
now q living institution of service. The
beautiful Library provided by Henry and
Emily Folger, currently receiving within
its walls the supplementary treasures OF

tertal
Defense bulks conspicuously In the
new treaty. 1t Is understood that Britain
hands back to Irish sovereignty the ports
of Cobb Queenstown Berehaven and
Lough Swilly, retained as naval bases
when the Free State was established.
But the De Valera government und.r-
takes to maintain these strategic points
under conditions not only safeguarding
Fires security, but in full cooperation
with the British Navy and with due re-
gard for its necessities in Irish waters in
an international emergency.
On one cardinal score Mr.. de Valera
did not contrive to overcome British
susceptibilities. He failed to win ap-
proval Of his united Ireland" aspira-
tion-that is, the abolition of Ulster as
an independent state. At the outset Of
peace negotiations, Britain laid down as
her inflexible purpose that she would not
try to force Northern Ireland into union
with the South. London remains hope
full that conciliation, rather than coer-
cion may in the course Of time bring the
two Irelands" together. Early and tan
gible indication Of the Southerners' good

THE MENACE OF INSULARITY
BY THE RIGHT REV. JAMES E. FREEMAN, d, D, L,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON.

We seem to be drifting more and more
away from that conception Of life Of
which Robert Burns sang:
when man to man the world DER
Shall brothers be for q that"
For . period that lasted up to 1914,
we were under the spell ct now seems
like delusion) that peoples and races
were fast moving toward q universal
fellowship. At The Hague we built
temple that was to be the symbol Of
our desire and determination to settle
all differences international through the
pacific agency Of council chamber. OF
course, we were to have q constabulary
on land and sea, but 1t was to be
regulated and kindly one. We had to
have 1t for reasons that concerned in
ternational peace and order. Theodore
Roosevelt sent the white fleet" around
the world, not for the purpose of pro-
voking suspicion and arousing the envy
and admiration of our neighbors. but
as a demonstration Of the American
spirit Of peace and good will. Ofncers.
ships and men all conspired to give
eloquent testimony to the kindly motives
Of the great Republic.
Within our own confines we were
voluble in our protestations Of affection
affection for all men, especially those
OF our national household We had two
dominant political parties, but fraternity
and good will were conspicuous even in
their debates and discussions They
were rivals for power but they were
obedient to the expressed will of the
majority.
few years ago new associations came
into being, associations inclusive of Jew,
Catholic and Protestant. The late New
ton D. Baker was president of one, and
1t still functions and brings together in
happy fellowship all religious types and
their discussions are marked by the
spirit Of camaraderie and the generous
interchange Of kindly judgments. They
have not been seeking a unity that
means loss Of autonomy in their respec-
tive bodies: they have been making q
sincere effort to avoid misunderstand-
ings or an aloofness that defeats them
Evening star., 1938-04-24

in . common purpose. This is all to
the good and 1t Is certainly timely.
There are weighty matters that vitality
concern Jew, Catholic and Protestant
and unless they can show . united front
IN maintaining cause that IL common
to them all 1hey are making futile and
vain efforts for the common good. In
sularity is fatal in times like these.
Race prejudice, party arrogance, pride
Of denomination are inimical to our
best interests. We are bound together
for better or worse, for richer or poorer,
ana there Is no class, no group, no or
ganization, however powerful or opulent,
that 'can survive through its own
strength. Examples Of race prejudice,
OF religious bigotry are 20 extensively
conspicuous today that they I'LL us with
apprehension as to what may issue from
them.
We need to be solemnly reminded that
minority groups, bent upon selfish in
terests or embittered by class hatreds,
have overturned orderly ways of govern
ment. 1nsularity Is dangerous symp-
tom In society or in the individual. 1t
was written Of old, none Of us liveth to
himself" and this applies with like force
to society as a whole. A closed mind or
an arbitrary and inflexible Judgment
that refuses to consider new evidence
or fresh revelation of truth menaces
the best interests Of society and the
state. Too many Of our cherished
opinions are founded in q misconception
or misunderstanding of the issues in
volved In 4 given situation. We read
our favorite sheet. belong to our chosen
coterie, listen to biased judgments and
out Of unrelated scraps of information
and gossip fashion our opinions.
One OF the most urgent needs of our
time is the practice Of the golden rule.
Religion, whatever name 1t bears, in
culcates the spirit OF charity and good
will. II 1t is the Christian religion it
1nvalidates its claim where it is narrow
and insular. The fatherhood of God
and the brotherhood of man are it's
major teachings and the two are vitally
related. To hold tenaciously to the first
and to ignore the second is to be untrue
to the teachings of the Man Of
Nazareth.
