SOCIETY NEW S

hesitated to ask Emily to marry
him, because he did not want to
be a pensioner on her bounty.
When he was finally offered
position, near the end of his last
year at the Harvard Law School
it was not with a firm which
Emily's conservative family view
ed with respect; In the firm were
promising young men who had
gone to other colleges and who
came from the dissimilar groups
which had never been known to
mingle socially on Beacon Hin;
the worthless Italians the
Castle Irish," and the presump-
tuous Jews"
This is the way in which Emily's
family classified her finances as
sociates. But she declined to ac-
cept the classification. She shar-
ed Rogers belief that in their
home all these different elements
would meet and merge harmon
iously. This belief was almost lit
erally-the cornerstone Of their
house. Joy Street is the story of
what happened to this belief; how
it was tried, how it failed and
how it succeeded. Into Emilys
hitherto restricted circle are sud
denly catapulted not only Pelleg-
rino and Simonetta, whom she had
admired at a distance with identi-
flying them, but David Salomont-
brilliant, suave and ambitious
and Brian Collins-hearty, head
strong and vigorous. Enily's
grandmother, "Old Mrs. Forbes, "
a magnificent but formidable mat
riareh who is apt to overshadow
everyone with whom she comes
in contact, Is the only one of
Emily's relatives who recognized
the magnitude of the task the
bride had undertaken. She learns
the full meaning of love in hard
school and, in the course of her
progress, she meets with disill-
usionment and tragedy In the end
she emerges not only as a trium-
phant but a glorious figure, one Of
the most moving as well as one oi
the most courageous that Mrs
Keyes has ever created.

Franco Police Arrest
Two Life Newsmen
Nv the Associated Press

MADRID, May 24.-A pho
tographer and a correspondent for
Life magazine were arrested and
questioned four hours Tuesday
night, then released.
Photographer Nathaniel r.
Farbman Piero Saporiti, Madrid
correspondent for both Life and
Time magazines, were taken into
custody as they went to an ap-
pointment with the Duke of Alba,
Spanish diplomat. They have
been doing a story on Alba's
museum of paintings.
Police technicians seized Mr.
Farbman's equipment and de-
veloped whatever negatives they
found. All were returned later
Mr.. Saporiti said the police
seemed to think he and Mr.. Farb-
man had taken a picture of a poor
woman in rags raking through a
garbage pail. Both he and Mr.
Farbman denied this but pointed
out they held official credentials
to photograph anything in Spain
A worsening of relations with
the foreign press began at about
the time of the Barcelona strike
in March. Several Associated
Press dispatches have been Gen.
sored. On another strike recently
an Associated Press local cores
pondent-a citizen of Spain
said he was afraid to file any in

II Was Moo's Secretary
Writer Spurns Luis Advances;
Torture of Husband Is Started

almost knocked unconscious, mo-
mentarily was without thoughts
and without fears and, I don't
know with what strength I still
had left in me. I gave him a
violent push and freed myself.
II have hoped that you would
really become my wife, as I need
a normal family life. For you
I have gone to all lengths of
trouble; it was I who had you
transferred to the politburro, and
I who had your husband sent
to work in the Northeast. To
tell the plain and simple truth,
if you divorce your husband and
marry me, many special priv
ileges will be yours to enjoy. Not
only will you be we'll taken care
of. your husband will also re-
|ceive protection. Otherwise. don't
think you would ever see each
other again!"
He was angry and insulted, bel
lowing like wounded animal.
I started running home in a
hurry, with Liu Shao-chi follow
ing closely at my heels.
"All right! You just wait and
see!" He left me these last words
to think over, grinning like a
hyena.

by people. Nobody dared to come
near me. I remembered the vi
cious warning given by Liu Shao-
chi: "All right! You just wait
and see!"
Some time later I received a
notice from the Social Affairs
Ministry, designating a certain
day, at 4 pm, for me to visit
Lin Wen.
A police guard let me into a
room; inside it was damp and
dark and had an evil stencil. In
a moment a horrible, broken-down
old man staggered into the room,
and it was only when he sud-
denly reached out and held my
hand. calling me by name, that I
recognized that this horrible old
man was Lin Wen. His eyes were
bulging red and swollen; his face
was pale and drained of all blood:
his hair was like wild grass, and
his cheeks deeply sunken and
covered with beard which nearly
concealed his mouth. Suddenly
he fell to his knees and began to
sob and kiss my hands. At first
I could hardly believe that this
|doddering old man before me was
the sturdy, good-looking Lin Wen
|of yesterday. But when I came
out of my daze I found I was
weeping myself hoarse.
Il have been pondering prob
lens for 26 days and nights with
out once closing my eyes, and
every day I cut a hundred catties
OF firewood, carry 80 loads Of wa
ter, and cook rice for 200 men.
I cannot stand it any more. He
sobbed out his story in a weak
and broken voice. Sharp knives
were tearing at my heart.
wen! 1t was I who got you
into this. I am ready to go
through anything and suffer any
indignities 70 get you out of this.
l must marry :" We fell Sob
bing into each others arms.
mo! I have been warned: Give
up your wife We must not sur
render. Ii! Promise me! We
will never give in"
Il promise you. I will never
give in" I stroked the scars on
his hands. my tears wetting
through his sleeves.
Then the guard came in. AS I
was taken away. Lin Wen tainted
on the floor.
Tomorrow: Liu-the bloodless
killer, Lin Wen's death and free
dom.
