I wonder if some kind read

restore the original high pol

black Italian Marble. This
marble is the top of a wrought
iron coffee table and when I
tried sto clean it the surface
became very dull. I very prob
ably used the wrong thing to
clean it, because now, instead
of being a pure black, it has
sort of a white powdery film

VASES REPAIRED2

MRS. A. L. r., Washington
Recently on a brief visit to
Tihlman's Island in the Ches-
apeake Bay my husband and
I met a very sweet lady who
was interested in antiques and
heirloomS. When we told her
we were from Washington, she
asked if we knew where she
could get a pair of vases re-
paired which she priced since
they had been in the family
for many years. They are
probably porcelain and appar-
emily rather badly Aroken but
she has most of the pieces. She
had been told that some one
here did that type Of restor-
ing. Since I was sure that
RICH could give her an an

find out from you. Somehow

answers to the most unusual

ate it and so will one of your

Yeats Lifelong Search of Religion

The week that brought a
reissue of Yeats autobiog-
raphy (reviewed on this page)
also brought some illuminat-
ing remarks about the poet
from another Irish writer.
Alice Curtayne of Tralee, au-
thor of some 10 books on re-
ligious and historical themes
(most recently, "The Trial of
Oliver Plunkett"), lectured
about Yeats, Synge and Joyce
at Catholic University last
Monday.
To Miss Curtayne, white
haired, youthful mother of
four, Yeats is a splendid poet,
but not the universal teacher
that Americans are inclined
to take him for.
She sees Yeats as an artist
who made a lifelong search of
religion. AS member of the
Protestant Ascendancy in Ire
land, he rejected Catholicism.
Yet the theosophy which he
espoused failed him finally,
and in his later years. he be-
gan to rail against age and
disease and death. In his ex-
tremist rancour with the pas
sage of time. Yeats once said,
ANY woman who could see
her son at the age of go would
think motherhood not worth
while"
Yeats was supreme as a lyric
poet, Miss Curtayne thinks.
And Ireland owes him an
enormous debt because of his
magnificent utteranceS as the
poet of the country's struggle
for freedom. "He gave it the
true heroic atmosphere" says
Miss Curtayne.

The author is we'll aware of
the opposition of many psy-
biologists to his findings and
the refusal of these scientists
to accept anything that fails
to conform to physical laws.
"A radio wave" he comments,
furnishes a familiar example;
it can not be sensed at all and
to be detected has to be con-
verted into another form Of
energetic effect Subjective
states can only be observed in
another person as behavior
and that is a conversion of
psychical to physical effects"
In a final chapter he con-
siders evidence of the super
natural. Despite all the re-
liable reports of prophetic
dreams, communication be-
yond the grave and foretelling
visions, he holds that the sur
vival question "is still not an
sWered in any way that can

Italy Adopting U. S. Library Methods
To Make Books More Easily Available
By Mor McGrory

Vice President Nixon's kind
words about the Govern
rnent's overseas library pro-
gram came as a welcome and
well-deserved relief from un-
friendly estimates of the prof.
ects emanating in recent
months from Capitol Hill. A
newly returned worker in the
field, Eleanor Mitchell, who
was until two weeks ago in
charge of U. S. I. S.. Library
in Italy, comes up with
the interesting point of view
that it isn't just the books that
help win foreigners to democ-
racy. but the libraries them
selves.
In Europe the concept of the
library as a storehouse of
knowledge where books are
preserved, is deeply intrenched.
American libraries, abroad as
at home, OF course, operate on
the principle that books are to
be used, and that the libra
rian is not so much guardian
as an agent ready and willing
and anxious to bring reader
and book together. In Italy,
reports Miss Mitchell. observa-
tion of our democratic librarys
system has led to an adop--
ton of some of it's features.
italians had been prone to
regard the open shelf as an
invitation to loss or theft of
books. Now that they have
watched it's successful opera
ton in our nine American
Libraries, they have cautiously
introduced it into q few of
their own.

prettiest of three daughters
in the family across the street,
has fed incessant parental
brawls and taken refuge with
Mrs. Candy. Noonie Belle has
quarreled with the good-look-
ing young truck driver she
fancies and is comforted by
Miss Fazende, one of Mrs.
Candy's roomers. a faded act
ress whose younger exploits on
the stage become more impress
sive as the years pass.
Then there is a new and
mysterious roomer, the affiuent
Mr.. Gleason. who pays a
month in a dvance, pounds
the typewriter all day and
makes Mrs. Candy's Henry
jealous by bringing her gifts
of flowers and candy. And
there's young Mr.. Wilson,
whose talent for picking the
right horses nowhere near
matches his enthusiasm for
wagering on them. Mr.. Will
son has girl trouble-he can't
afford the fine engagement
ring Emelda expects for
Christmas.
A Seasonal Solution
With the glad season a cou-
pie of days off, several of those
invited to Mrs. Candy's party
are not speaking and are
broadcasting their several
opinions of one another. Mrs.
Thibideaux and the mother Of
Noonie Bellies truck driver
have met and Mrs. Thibideaux
has emerged with a black eye.
Mrs. Candy'S husband is not
speaking to her-for no reason
at all, since Mr.. Gleason meant
nothing personal by his gifts,
but only appreciation Of her
friendlineSs.
Altogether it looks as if the
party would be a bust and
Christmas would be bleak and
not merely outdoors. But COM
plications have a way of
smoothing themselves out this
time of year. And the way Mr..
Tallant unwrinkleS these is
entertaining and sometimes
downright funny.
So here's to Mrs. Candy
and a cheerful Christmas. God

Ny Heart Lies South

BY Elizabeth Borton de Trevil
When Elizabeth Borton, an
American neWspaperwoman,
went to Monterey as the bride
of Luis Trevino, she stepped
back into another older world,
and she has never returned
entirely to the Goth CEN
tury. From this bubbling ac-
count, one gathers she is not
sorry.
Naturally, she enjoyed being
treated like a defenseless Wom-
an .(there is no other kind in
F., Mexico). but she found the
situation had its drawbacks.
For one thing, she discovered
that she was not supposed to
know anything about money
and was given a daily allow
ance which didn't begin to
cover the daily food bill, a cir
cumstance that led to tears
and scenes and a fight to her
mother-in-law.
She also discovered that

Trevino saw a wealth of love
and respect doled out to every
member of the clan. Even
maiden aunts were treasured
and revered in that great warm
circle.
The Trevino family was
periodically rocked with great
jealous scenes between various
husbands and wives. One, the
author discovered. was preeipi-

British rum and to pay a high
tax on it. whereas they could

ing books to Italian readers in
remote districts. More are
planned by the Ministry of
Public Instruction.
The ease with which library
cards are obtained in USIS
Libraries amazes and pleases
Italians. To become patrons
they have only to present their
names, addresses, telephone
numbers and identifications,
and the cards are mailed on
the same day. In their own
libraries they must deposit a
sum Of 5000 lire ($5) at the
bank and wait four days while
their credentials are checked.
But apart from displaying
the implicit charms of demo-
cratic library methods, a major
task in Italy, as in other coun-
tries with a long cultural ira
dition, is to convince the local
intellectuals and leaders of
opinion that America has a
culture of its own.
Italians show an avid in
terest in our classics. Haw-
thorne. Poe, Melville and
Mark Twain circulate heavily.
Now that the doctors and
scientists have had a chance
to catch up on technical
development of the war
years, much emphasis is
being placed on volumes that
will help Italians to cope with
labor-management relations,
taxation and other socio-po-
litical problems.
"Our libraries make no at
tempt to conceal our problems
in these fields. They rather
show how we face them" says
Miss Mitchell, a fact very
much appreciated by Italian
readers.

He has not only recipes for

a practical course in wines,
how they should be used and
