she felt.
Gay paused in her progress across
the room. "Do about it," she asked.

back and forth from her heels to her
toes on the field-stone hearth. She
was observing, irrelevantly, the un-
conscious air of assurance with
which Gay carried herself, thinking
how trim she looked, in spite of two
days and night on the road, in
the dark tailored suit which empha-
sized the grace of her long slender
legs, the breadth of her shoulders,
the rounded slenderness of her body.
All, youth! She, herself, probably
looked like a scare-crow, particu-
larly attenuated and angular one.

which followed the thought was phil

Gays glance scorned so craven

said with spirited emphasis. "This

"There'd be no accommodation

tentatively. "An inn or tourist

Kate was little abashed to feel

house thus saving time and energy
where cleaning. @
Bottles containing cream or milk
should never be left uncovered in
the refrigerator. Odors from 9TH

Deaf People Lack Care

blind man cropping his way finds ev-
eryone's hand outstretched to pro-
tect him; but the person whose hear
ing is impaired-he is just regard
ed as a nuisance"
Handbook said many advances
have been made in early discovery
of children suffering from hearing
defects. He said at least per cent
of the school population has some
degree of hearing impairment.
"If the public knew how much i'm
provement can be produced by edu-
cation in lip reading, as well as by
scientific advances in medical
knowledge of the ear, the problem
of helping these citizens would not
be SO difficult" Handbook said.
Popular apathy prevents many peo-
pie from knowing that they can get
help from the means which are
now at hand. Yet statistics show
that the problem of the hard Of
hearing involves 4 per cent of the
population"

sudden quick beating of her heart
had quieted a little. The clearing
mist of abstraction vanished. Though
her attention was fixed upon the diff
ficult business of striking a match,
she still saw very clearly the boots
upon the hearth.
''Good" Kate said from the dark
ness near the door.
Better luck than we deserve. -
Gay tipped the chimney, applied the
flame of the match to the wick.
They were high boots with lacings,
the sort that woodsmen wore, and
the mud that caked them was fresh.
1t had been raining all day. The
lane had been soft with mud.
"The wick is trimmed, too" she
said, playing for time in which to
adjust her mind to this unexpected
situation, searching for an explana-
ton, not wanting, just yet, to share
her discovery with Kate.
"Hmmm!" Kate said with curious
emphasis. "The bridegroom COM
eth!"
"What?" The china shade, strik-
ing the chimney, made a gathering
sound very loud in the quiet room.
Gay set it securely in the thin
branching prongs. bridegroom"
she repeated.
There's something in the Bible
about bridegrooms and wicks and
OIL" Kate said in casual explana-
ton. "Never mind. My rectory
past will pop up now and then.
Tactless of me to have mentioned
bridegrooms. I'm sorry"
The circle of flame in the lamp
steadied and frightened. Gay raised
her head. Through the mellow light
she saw Kate walking toward her,
an amused expression in her eyes
under the brim of dark felt hat
which, on Kate, looked both dis
reputable and debonaire. She turned
away, puzzling over Hates COM
ment, not quite understanding the
skeptical expression deepening the
lines around Hates twinkling eyes.
Did Kate think?
"There's a fire laid ready for
lighting" She knelt on the hearth,
deliberately ignoring both the COM
ment and the ready explanation.
"We won't need more wood tonight.
Will you hand me the matches,
please?" e @
"Sheer magic" Kate said dryly.
"Alice-in-W Wonderland and the Arab
an Nights. Oil in the lamps, a fire
laid-or maybe wish-fulfllment did
it. Anyway, I'm not kicking"
Gay took the box of matches with
out meeting Hates glance. The i'm
plication, now, was perfectly clear.
Kate Observation-Disclosures sharp
ened into indignation. She resented
having her motives questioned. A
denial sprang to her lips. She forced
back the words. Never deny or ex-
plain. People got at you if you let
your defenses down, she reminded
herself again. In affronted silence
she ignited the shavings beneath the
pyramid of wood.
''Our guardian angel has slipped
up, though" Kate said still in a
tone of skeptical amusement.
''These boots certainly won't fit eli
Their you or me-" Her voice altered.
"Who is it, Gay?" she asked with
a directness which could no longer
be evaded.

'Who is it?" Kate repeated.
~ told you l didn't know" Gay
watched small active flames licking
up against the logs.
Was she telling the truth? Kate
watched Gay rise, swiftly, grace
fully, from her kneeling position on
the hearth. She had no reason to
doubt her, she thought, backing up
to the warmth of the fire. In the
roster of Gays shortcomings, a dis

''What, no breakfast-nook?" Kate
asked in mock-dismay.
''We'll have our meals on the
porch if it isn't too cold. Do you
suppose it will be?" Gays voice rip

She had thought-Her expectancy,
the strength of her desire to return,
seemed absurd, now, romantic, in
credibly naive. Gay stood, con-
scious of fatigue, acknowledging dis
appointment, in the frame Of the

In his day he has had at least
three great teams. For one reason
or another, largely financial, he has
had to break them up and build

Connie expects and hopes to win
another pennant before he marches
into baseball's Valhalla. He doesn't
think it will be this year-not with
the Yankees and Red Sox barring

che is one of the greatest I ever
knew" Ty Cobb told me recently.
POSSIBLY the greatest, when you
figure the smaller banIxr0ll he has
had to work with. Connie was never
a member of the driving, hard-bit-
ten type. He would rather encour-
age you. But he was never any
softy. He always has demanded
condition and the hustling spirit.
Also, he has known every angle of
baseball-pitching and catching, in
field and outfield play, baseball
strategy, baseball psychology. And
a ball player who wouldn't hustle
for Connie Mack would never battle
for anyone"

indicative of his personal regard for

enforced, the conductor forwent 1t
for the sake Of clarity.
One Of the most delightful num-
bers proved to be the overture to
Smetana's "Bartered Bride" Some
how, it was never perceived In quite
the same light before. The tech
nical effect of the spiccato passages
in the string sections had an almost
sculptured outline, there was solid
ity and a continuity Of idea that
held the attention. Contrasted with
this, Les Preludes," by Liszt, seemed
thin and old-fashioned. 1t is possi-
BILE that the amplif1cation system
was not doing justice to all the sec
tons of the orchestra. Yet the
musicians seemed closely to follow
the conductors indications as to dy-
namics and tone quality.
Shapiro Plays.
The cello concerto by Saint Saens,
played by Mr.. Shapiro, added an
other number to several by Saint
Saens already heard through the
participation of other instrumental
lists. Mr.. Shapiro has q beautiful
tone and q well-developed virtuoso
technique which is indispensable to
do the concerto justice. Yet his
intonation, although true in pitch,
lacks the overtones which lend bril-
liancy to performance and satisfy
the ear. It is wanting In intensity
of a higher projection.
This particular concerto does not
belong to the most grateful COM
positions, for the cello having little
cantilena and a great deal Of pas
sage work extended through the full
length of the instruments range,
high into the violin register. Mr..
Shapiro, admirably supported by the
orchestra and Mr.. Black, gave
comprehensive reading and found
favor with the large audience which
recalled him several times.
At the conclusion OF the orchestral
program, Mr.. Black responded with
several encores, including the popu-
lar Meditation" from Massenet's
''Thais."
