Miss Grace Skinner
Reviews Life, Faith
of Negro Scientist

fessor in the education department
OF Michigan State Normal College,
told about the life and faith Of
George Washington Carver. the
great negro scientist, when she
spoke Sunday evening at the West
minister League meeting at the
Presbyterian Church.
y Miss Skinner based her talk on a
pamphlet entitled THE Man Who
Talked With Flowers, written by
Glen Clark. lecturer and educator.
Miss Skinner said that one was
able to learn about faith from
| Carver. She quoted Mr. Clark as
saying that he had met with great
religious men but he hadn't received
the inspiration from them that he
had from the simple negro man
Mr.. Clark said that most people
consider prayer as something
which will satisfy them mentally
and give them peace of mind
Carver believed in prayer as a sec
ret inner force and a great power,
and he attributed his great sue
cess in science to faith and prayer.
She related that Carver said if
one talked with flowers they would
tell him their secret. II Is be
cause he loved the things with
which he worked that he became
success, she said.
Miss Marcia Geddis, Ypsilanti,

stead, they just headed her toward
the Vincent residence, still talking
and laughing gayly, as they made
plans for the future.
Not until they reached the cor
ner OF the avenue and Eighty-third
street, did the little girl realize she
was being taken home. Hurt dis
may clouded her face.
Ylena said quickly, Darling.
promise me you'll be brave and not
cry" They turned east toward the
ugly old graystone house. When
they reached the steps, the mother
said. Lets say goodby here. I'm
not going in with you" She lifted
Carlyle into her arms for a long
moment of kisses and bear hugs,
then replaced her on her feet. Go
in now, dear. I'll wait here for you
to wave from the library window"
In response to Stones ring, Nc
Comb opened the massive grilled
gates. and finally the thick doors,
for the child. In a very short time
she was perched atop one OF the
window seats in the library, secure
" held there by the butler, who
added his grimacing wintry smiles
to the child's. Carlyle waved until
her mother and Vernon Stone
turned the corner.
Stone said to Ylena, Want TO 20
TO your hotel and rest?"
Rest I should say not. I'm
much too happy and excited to rest.
I'd like to 60 to a tea dansant. Not
for tea. l couldn't eat thing, but
just to dance. I feel like dancing.
Do you feel like dancing. Vernon ?"
"As much as I've felt like it for
the past Is years"
The girl laughed. Then come on.
You're in for it."
Her exuberance was contagious.
Though he knew she should take
things easier, the lawyer could not
bring himself to force her to obedi-
ence. Time enough for relaxation
on the homeward trip. So he kept
pace with her, through many
dances at the Club Versailles,
through dinner at a restaurant
where they danced still more,
through a Broadway production he
already had seen four times,
through more dancing at a supper
club, then hamburgers soaked In
Burgundy at Hamburg Heaven.
When he dropped her at her ho-
tel, he said, "Ylena, I'm sending
Rose home with you, to stay per-
manently."
"Oh, Vernon, no. You mustn't.
She's so dear to you"
She'll be even dearer to me in
your climate because she'll live
longer I've made arrangements for
you to return leisurely through the
Canal. You'll both have a real rest.
So take her, Ylena, as a house.
keeper and companion, but above
all, as friend"
The girl promised quickly, know
ing how painful the subject must
be to the lawyer. She realized the
offer he voiced in moments had
taken months of thought. They
said good night. and Ylena went
into the hotel.
The desk clerk told her, There's
someone waiting to see you" and
directed her toward a secluded cor
ner Of the lobby.
There, on the soft luxurious dav-
export, sound asleep. was Scott
Hamilton.

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWo


INSTEAD OF rushing pellmell
TO toss herself into her mothers
lap with shrleking Joy. Carlyle be-
haved more as an adult does during
gripping moment. Seemingly I'M
able TO believe her eyes, she
stopped and stared. Ylena dared
not move, either. Then slowly, her
face gravely puzzled. the child
walked toward her mother. Not
once did she look at her grand
mother or nurse. They simply were
not there. AS she drew nearer,
Ylena put out a hand and soon Car
lyle put out hers also. They
touched, chung and then were In
each others arms.
Gone was Ylena's grief and lone
illness, melted in that caress. Not
so Carlyle's. The control she had
exhibited up to the moment Of
actually being held in her moth
er's AIMS, now deserted her and
she began TO sob wildly. She buried
her face in Ylena's lap. then slid
TO the floor, her head against her
mothers knee, and gave vent to
her heart-broken past unhappiness,
a savage. uncomfortable weeping
for something she didn't fully un-
derstand.
Across her blond head. Ylena
looked through tears at the old
lady Vincents black-beaded eyes,
so intent on this reunion, then drew
deep breath to steady herself.
Her hands, comforting but not
fussy, were on the little girls
head. In turn, chubby curled fin
gers grasped Ylena's knees.
Carlyle" the grandmother's re-
monstrance broke into that sad
moment. Don't cry any more,
dear. You won't look pretty when
you go to lunch with your mother"
That stopped the tears. Carlyle
lifted her face to Ylena, then got
up and approached her grandmoth-
er's huge antique he'd. Am / real
iy going with her, grandmother"
Yes, you and Uncle Vernon"
She put out a gnarled hand and
gently pulled the child toward her.
And someday, If you'll just be pa
tient with your old grandmother"
she said shakily, you can go to
live with her in the west" A repe-
tition Of Ylena's dreaming came to
her lips. you'll have a pony and
Mexican silver saddle and a lily
pool full Of goldfish-you'd like
that, wouldn't you?" The little girl
nodded. Defeated, and totally con-
-eeieHs- of her defeat, Mr.. Vincent
begged, Promise me you'll never
forget your grandmother"
Il won't" Carlyle promised. "rIl
think about you every day like 1
think about my mother every day."
That's good girl. Now 60 to
Mamie and get dressed"
There was nothing doubtful
about Carlyle's manner now. She
started In a brisk walk. pausing
to give her mother a brief kiss.
Outside. in the hallway, she in
stantly broke into the sort of quiet
trot child uses who is scolded for
running in the house.
In her autocratic manner, Mrs.
Vincent said, You may have her
until 3 o'clock. Then make your
preparations to leave New York.

The expression in Carlyle's gray

Stunned, Ylena realized that pos

impervious to danger. But some
thing could happen to him, With
bleak shock she admitted it to her
self. But she smiled at her young

She told her about Coco, the
