] wonder what It Is you speak
That makes me love you 80.
Like memories from many minds
And many years ago.
Such longing thoughts you seem TO tell
In eloquence so deep,
wonder what the secrets are
That you so fairly keep.
or Mothers prayers--of Fathers Stern
or children's running feet
OF pioneers and pilgrimage
or youth and maidens sweet?
You will not speak, you may not tell
Those stories OF the past.
In strands so neat, SO strong, so firm
You hold your secrets fast.
But In my heart fulfillment speaks
My longing seems to see
A patient love--a trusting faith
Your messages to me.

PITY bottles and rowdydow pranks
behind them lately.
One of the most spectacular
craShings of the front pages by
Dick Knight was on the occasion
of the plush premier at the Met
ropolitan Opera House. His ex-
plot was well publicized.
He provided a merry holiday
for those VINO record the noc-
turnal didoes and highjinks Of q
prankish town. Then he started
packing luggage for his threaten
ed self-exile to Pago-Pago.
GOINGS-ON WERE
SOFT-PEDALED
For Richard Allen Knight never
was cut out to be a playboy-nor
for the social notoriety Of being
q steady-item character in the
gossip columns. For several years
there was a kindly tendency to
play down his temporary aberra-
tons.
When he broke the windows Of
q taXicab because he didn't like
the driver, the incident was local
lied, and when he climbed q ten
foot wall, simian fashion, and
crashed through the windows in
to his house because he had for
gotten his keys, the neighbors
were inclined to look the other
way, since Richard Knight was
an important man-about-town.
But when recently he walked
into q neighbours home and walk
ed Off with two Gagged canaries
and O radio, 1t became an open
scandal, since he was marched Off
to court on q charge Of second-
degree burglary.
There We're mitigating circum-
stances and the neighbor was not
vindictive, so the case was dis
missed, but the story already had
provided enough after-breakfast
outlaws for the morning papers.
The asbestos heir was a mere
runner-up to Richard Aliens
Knight-mare.
WAS SUCCESSFUL
AS A LAWYER
Less than ten years ago,
Knight hardly dreamt that he.
would be the center Of such ir-
reverent attention. He had been
one Of Manhattan's most sue
cessful lawyers, up from Dallas,
with skill, brain and unquench-
able ambition.
He specialized in divorce &C
tons and his clientele soon read
like q marital Who's Who Of the
town.
Then the downslide. The stock
market crashed and obliterated
his fortune, his practice dwindled
and his pranks began.
After o while, he began to re-
build his personal empire and
was we'll en- route to a complete
recovery. He married and became
somewhat Of O family man with
two children. But marital discord
set In and his wife went to Reno
TO cut the marital knot, a routine
which had provided the canape
and caviar OF her husbands ca
reer
His self reported Christmas
reconciliation" and his wife's de-
NAL Of 1t, provided more typo
graphical grist for the reportorial
mill.
And again he hit the high road
OF playboyism that wound up In
his somersaulting exhibition at
New York's most gala social event
the Metropolitan debut.
Hence his threat TO pack up and
90 away. The push-pin In the
map pointed TO Pago-Pago, like
ly hermitage. There O man can
stand on his head and not shock
the natives into raucous and de-
risive laughter.
