music Field Was His Love,
He Made 1t His Business

Mrs. j. got her job. all right,
and reported back that 1t was
working out well. and that little
Betty and her grandmother were
getting along fine.
Then one day. her husband
came in to see me. He was nice
young man, but he was miserable
at the idea of his wife working
I'm going to ga out Of niu-
sic," he said grimly, land get a
decent job, so I can support my
wife and child"
But you could see that his wife
had been right-Mr. j. would be
miserable in anything but music,
he loved it so. I told him that,
and urged him to reconsider.
When a field is that right for
you, when you have that gift,
miracles can happen if you only
stick with it.
Last week-just ten months
after had seen them-Mr. and
Mrs. j. came in again.
The most miraculous thing had
happened, they told me. Mr.. j
had submitted some of his popu-
lar songs to contest run by a
band leader. one of his songs had
won, and the band leader, after
talking with him at great length,
hired him to head up a music
publishing company which the
band leader was establishing.
Mr.. j. is making a lot of money
Mrs. j. is happy as lark. and
little Betty is getting a baby
brother.

it worries him, and he is think

it. We have a three-year-old. a

because otherwise Bill will be
worried about money, and might

a tragedy. I figure little Betty is
better off with a happy Daddy,

father making more money and
miserable. And I want you to

the limelight, too, when Helen

Accessories were Sumptuous,
frivolous and alluring. Very bare
shoes with jewelled heels. toes
or instep bands were a colorful
addition to evening clothes. The
universal accessory was the stole,
worn with suits. dresses and eve

Most popular of the jewelry
trends was the large hoop ear

There was a revival of the
French Directoire silhouette with
its high, softly draped bosom.
The full skirt stayed in for

Here's that wonderful night
again, New Years eve! There
is magic in a night which makes
us more tolerant and less crit
ical, more forgiving, warmer
and kinder toward others.
There is magic in a night
which softens old regrets and
gives us that wonderful feeling
of having a new chance. The
old year with its mistakes and
troubles is going. The New Year
is almost here.
Take the New Year to your
heart! Anything can happen in
1854 1t is crowded with happy
potentialities. 1t is waiting to
be understood and applied to
vibrant daily living. Believe in
your heart that it will be the
best year ever.

entertainment: Luncheons in the
subway and on a gallery overlook
ing an excavation where steam
shovelS and riveterS are deafen-
ingly busy, dinner in a water
front grocery warehouse, supper
in a wholesale wine cellar where
the guests donned friars' robes
and strolled among the kegs car
'rying lighted candles. There was
.even a gala in a swimming pool,
i remember, where you f1oated
.on your back (if you could f1oat)
and watched movies on the CELL
ing. But never a tea party until
that one the other day.
/. I've been hidden to meals
where everything on the menu
twas made with pineapples, say,
:or bananas or brazil nuts.
These functions are known in
my trade (reporter) as free-load-
ers. One involved a private
train trip and featured fashion
show to launch resort collec-
ton. Another was Long Is
land seashore picnic tied up with
new wonder drug.
There have been parties for
dogs who wore jeweled collars
and mink blankets to match
their owners, for a mule movie
stars and a cinema-featured cat.

you can just about live and
gain weight by going to free
leaders, including those you can
crash if not invited to. In addi-
,tion to food and drink favors
have included dungarees. bras
sieres, stockings, blouses, slips,
D electric beaters and several
years supply of lipstick and
other cosmetics.
The motion picture companies
used to throw the most expen-
sive shindigs. lasting sometimes
for several days. / once went
to Bette Davis New Hampshire
home town on special train
with fellow reporters to celebrate
the actress birthday and the
opening of her newest picture,
The OCCASION included the usual
:f1oodlights, ermine and photog-
sraphers besides the added fea-
.ture of a sugaring-off, New Eng
land style, with oxen and maple
wax on snow accompanied by
dill pickles and doughtnuts.
Today, big business seems to
have taken over such elaborate
celebrations. An airline christ
ems a new flight with a trip to
Algiers. A hotel man charters a
plane to take a group to Spain
when he opens new hotel. A
-four company invited food edi-
tors to Paris merely to feed
them.

to ten days. but I can beat that.

All this seems fairly remote
from an afternoon of simple tea

publicity. For the charming

menu ideas for your family to
enjoy: I have discovered q
very tasty form of halibut in
the market. which I'm sure
you will be able to find at your
favorite food stores frozen
food chest" under the initial
"B." / usually follow the recipe
on the wrapper for boiling.
with the addition of a dash of
paprika when ready for the
oven. When cooked, don't for
get to season with the ever
popular tartar sauce and a
sprinkle of lemon juice If de-
sired.
Then there is the ever-fa-
vorite salmon outlets, follow
ing your best recipe. but be
sure to use a good grade of red
salmon and try substituting
bread crumbs for the mashed
potatoes called for in so many
fish pattie recipes, and try
boiling them instead of frying.
and top with dotted butter or
part oleo when ready for the
oven. Allow about 10 or Is
minutes for browning on each
side, and when you turn them
over. dot on the other side and
let cook through until they
hold their shape, at 300-425
degrees.
Then also back in the
freezer chest again there is a
package of about 20 small cod
fish cakes under the initial
3D." These are wonderful when
served on top of a dish of
spaghetti with good spoonful
of meatless spaghetti sauce
and a topping OF ParmeSan
cheese. The sauce under the
initial "B" and ending in dee"
should be mild enough for the
children and is not too highly
seasoned. and I'm quite sure
that your pediatrician would
approve of the fish, cakes. al
though 1t says deep-fried on
the package. but you might
check with him if in doubt.
This can be served as a quick
meal accompanied by a tossed
salad and your favorite pack
aged pudding.
Sure hope that these few
fish suggestions will help keep
your family happy in all your
future meal planning.

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS OF THE ISLANDS
BANK

According ta recent newspaper account, q businessman Of ST
Thomas recently remarked that the economy ofSthe island Is shot
and fast going to hell" / don't think this was intended as idel talk,
and 4 think 1 have news for him. Why not let US take q little time
out and examine some published figures which are available to
all? AS savings deposits are undoubtedly an index to the economy
Of any place, let us examine them here. The published statements
Of the Virgin Islands National Bark show that on December 81
1850, savings deposits in that institution amounted to $2OO744395.
BY December 81, 1851, the savings deposits took an impressive jump
to- $2s271,704@5O an increase of over $250,0O0 in one year. But let
lis GO even further. On December 81, 1852, savings deposits were
$2,53253782-an increase Of over half million dollars in two years
And even more startling, on June Both this year, savings deposits
had jumped to $~3,09695466. which is an increase of well over half
a million dollars in the past six months. In other words, savings
deposits in the Virgin Islands National Bank have increased half
a million dollars in the past six months and nearly million one hun
dreds thousand dollars in the past two and a half years.
