They had turned down $40 a
month house in Plainfield, N. j., in
favor of one at $50 in Englewood.
They went without a telephone,
since the budget did not allow one.

When Mrs. Morrow's four
children were small she never
failed to find time for a half hour
Of reading at supper. The sem
sitive ears Of one of her daugh-
tiers took in the rhythm Of
poetry and gave it out later in
memorable prose.
Earlier, as student at Smith,
Mrs. Morrow edited the College
Monthly. AS a graduate student at
the Sorbonne and as a young teach
er, she wrote stories and poems.
After her marriage she produced
five books, including The Painted
Pig. (Three publishers rejected this
successful tale of life down in Old
Mexico.)
Meanwhile, Mrs. Morrow gar
dened. She acted as president
Of Smith for year, and still
serves as trustee. And now, be-
sides concerning herself with
food, she aids the National War
Fund drive and urges woman
at the peace table.
Her husband must have trusted
her budgeting. He left her the bulk
of his estate. Erect, petite, calm,
with a smile like Daughter Anne's,
she was born in Cleveland, Ohio, 70
years ago.

ordered.
Laycock, after surviving the
attack on Salern0, the invasion
Of Sicily, the evacuation Of Crete
and an attempt in 1941 to kidnap
Germany's Rommel, is now
nicknamed Lucky. He is Brit
aims youngest major general,
long and strong with hard,
close-cropped head, small
tight mouth and eyes that in an
ger remind observers who knew
their Kipling well of Rikki-tikki-
Tavi.
Very likely Laycock knows Kip
ling, too, and has discovered that
if one reads adolf Hitler" for
DANNY Deever" that notable hang
ing swings along just as smoothly.
He relishes poetry, the sage sayings
of Socrates and Plato, and is a mid
ding amateur barber to boot. In the
field, when no professional is handy
he cheerfully cuts his brother Of
ficers' overgrown hair. Fortyish,
he is married to a trim, handsome
brunette, the former Angela Dudley
Ward, who would, so London news
papers say, herself make good
commando leader. They have three
children. 7t'4
