except sit and watch, yell and en-
courage If he SO desires-and Of

APRIL WAS WHEN TT BEGAN
BY Benefited
By Bernice FinneSan

This is the new novel by the
author of the much-loved valiant
Is the Word For Carrie" In it
Barry Benefited brings to life a
whole gallery of characters as en-
dearing as the embattled Carrie
and her adopted family. And the
mood is again one of Spring days
when the blood dances and the
world is golden, and misfortune to
be disposed Of by a gallant flick
of the wrist"
In and out of the old-fashioned
brownstone Manhattan house
troops as memorable a band of
romantics as you are likely to meet.
There is a professor who has fled
to the seclusion of the city to pur-
sue his investigations into the spirit
realm. His secret name is Blood
hound, so relentless is his pursuit
of whatever may be his quarry.
And there is his young daughter,
Lula (alias Dik-Dik) who finds the
world a very lonely and cruel and
troubled place to live in-until there
drifts into her world a young
fourth deputy assistant editor. His
tribal name is Mole. His face is
as solemn as that of an aged horse
with secret sorrow-his heart as
clean as a baby's as high as a
knights. And, in hot pursuit of
Mole is the lovely and exciting out
slider, Judith Disdebar.
Up to the arrival of Mole, Dix
Dik's sole companion has been the
Italian maid-of-all-work, Old Tiger,
once a famous European medium.
Indeed, it was Old Tiger who fore
told the arrival of Mole shortly be-
fore that miracle took place. Soon
stirring deeds are afoot and Mole
is moving faster than he ever NOV
ed before.
So with all the fluency and natur-
alness and speed and shrewd humor
that let Burton Rascoe to say, ut
has been my private lament that
he writes so rarely, Barry Bene-
field tells his tender and unusual
story.

Avoid Trouble


A still tongue makes a wise head.
An old saying, but many are led,
To disregard this important rule,
For trouble comes when you talk
out of school.
Be diplomatic in a peculiar situa-
ton,
Don't look wise or even show Ella
ton,
For some may look at you to see
If you don't in the argument agree.
Expressing an opinion doesn't al
ways pay,
Keep wise counsel it's the best way,
For some people your answer may
prove
The beginning of trouble, so you
better move.
Avoid fight if you possibly can,
You'll still be considered quite a
man
No matter how righteous your
cause may be,
Places of business don't want that
publicity.
Many a person has gotten in a
tight place,
Emerged by keeping quiet with
good grace -l .s.'
Because they weren't too quick to
speak,
Things worked in their favor be-
cause they acted meek.
Stoop to conquer to gain a point,
You don't have to try and anoint,
Your adversary because of what
they did
Smart people avoid trouble and are
never outbid.

of her master being only one
sixty-fourth African. She was self
educated, and accomplished in lit

of the institution cursing her race;
and her heartless, jealous mistress
had doomed her to be sold on the
block, hating her for her beauty
and accomplishments. Eliza had
