sary During that time Grandfather took me
to Antwerp's Diamond Club to see fortunes
in gems change hands across rickety coffee
tables. 1t was interesting, but what i'm
pressed me most was the difference Grand
father received from the other dealers. This
reserved, bearded little man, patriarch of
the Club, seemed to enjoy everyone's respect
without making any effort to win it. Men
rose and bowed as he passed their tables.
He greeted them cordially.
WHEN we walked home, tried to rouse
him out of his silence by talking about the
anniversary. He shrugged as if the thing
were of no consequence The women will
take care of it," he said. And he added
dryly, so much fuss"
Its an important OCCASION" said.
Grandfather's only reply was, ''Oh, we'll"
He looked as if he didn't even want to dis
cuss the event. And was stumped
What his thoughts about the anniversary
might be we learned few days later from

A Short Short Story

0N OUR honeymoon, twenty-five years

attend the Golden Wedding anniversary of
my grandparents. Emotionally, of course, it
was poignant event. My grandparents
hadn't seen me since was six; here was,
grown man. their Oldest grandchild. come to
them with his own bride Grandmother wept
when she Rugged us, but it was joyous
weeping. She was deeply moved. it was
clear by the fact that we had come across
the ocean to attend her party.
In his quiet way, Grandfather was pleased,
too. He smiled vaguely and said, so nice,
so nice" Yet that was ALL There was no
other indication of His feelings. And that
was the way found him always - cordial
enough, but withdrawn. undemonstrative,
almost inarticulate. Even his warmest smile
seemed remote, as if his mind were forever
occupied elsewhere. He had way of turning
to window, his hands clasped behind him,
and losing himself in long periods of intro
spective silence.
lHOUGH he baff1ed me, he was none the less
dignihed little man and quite handsome
with his trim gray Vandyke He held his
compact figure so straight that you were apt
to forget his shortness. At 72 he was still
active as diamond merchant; and though
he had done fairly well he had no intention
of retiring, ever This learned from Grand
mother, not from him He never discussed
himself.
My wife was as puzzled as l. After few
days she said, Either he's the most inartic-
ulate man I've ever known, or else there's
something secret that keeps him silent"
At the beginning scoffed at the idea of
something secret.
We had ten days to wait for the anniver-

One cupboard is used solely

The back of the door is utils
