Of Hundustani which the Mos

Sophie is willing to do with
out much she has always had
even English tea. which is be-
yond the comprehension of the
nursing sisters at Srinagar.
She can live for very little at
the house she rents for a moni-
nal fee. She and the children
go in for native food and ma
tive ways.
Never the Twoin
All goes well for a while.
But Sophie, like many another
sympathetic alien, finds much
that is mysterious, rooted in
old legends and taboos. If she
hires a Moslem servant-and
almost. anybody with any in
come at all can afford a cou-
pie of servantS-the Hindus
get it in for her. If she IA
vors a Hindu in any transac-
ton, the Moslems mutter
darkly about her. There are
complications she never i'm
agined. It's a Small-Scale re-
currence of an old situation
the West baff1ed by the East
and vice versa. Then a strange
illness creeps over Sophie. and
when it finally is diagnosed at
the mission, not only are draS-
tic remedies prescribed, but
the police are called in. The
children, too. become involved
in what threatens to be a
tragedy.
Sophie is sharply drawn.
You'll like her and sympathize
with her or should, even
though she is a stubborn per-
son who could with profit have
taken some of the advice which
she shook off. The Kashmiri
types are interesting. And
Miss Golden writes lyrically
of the fruit, the flowers, the
lake, the great mountain ris-
ing above the house and the
changing moods of the sea-
sons. The ending is refresh
ingly different from the de-
nouement you'll undoubtedly
expect. It is a logical and un-
usual ending for a Book-of-
the Month Club selection.

IN Cents

7H Cents
BY Richard Bissell.
(Atlantic Little, Brown;;
$780,
An early offering on the hot
weather market, this is a
frankly inconsequential romp
through love and labor trou-
bles in a Midwest mems pa
jana factory. The hero, Supt.
Sid Sorokin, a hep character
from Chicago. is lost amid the
alien corn Of Junction City.
Iowa, until he spies Babe Will
liams, a comely, red-headed,
demon sleeve-setter.
When the celluloid-collared
boss refuses a 71a-cent wage
increase, Babe leads a slow
down at the plant and also
walks out on him. It takes
Sid some time-but not too
much-and some effort-but
not too arduous-to get the
plant back in production
and Babe back in his arms.
Mr.. Bissell, author of the
much praised "A Stretch on
the River" doesn't seem to be
exerting himself in this one,
although he does work in some
amusing commentary on the
garment industry and one or
two jibes at q fatuous house

Evening Shows
At Freer Gallery
BY Florence S. Berrymon

The Freer Gallery Of Art
will inaugurate a new policy OF
one evening opening weekly,
on Tuesday. The event will
be signalized by a preview Of
an exhibition of recently ac-
quired Ming porcelain. and a
lecture on the subject at $50
in the auditorium by John A.
Pope, assistant director of the
F'reer Gallery. Hereafter, the
Freer will be open Tuesdays
from 2 to 10 for the benefit Of
the public, the first evening
openings in the gallery's 80
years Of existence.
In more than four millen-
NUNS of Chinese ceramic his
tory, probably no period was
more important for the de-
velopment Of porcelain in
= Europe than the early decades
OF the Ming dynasty around
1400 AID. No ware before or
since has equaled the blue
and white then perfected in
its influence on the worlds
ceramic taste.
For a thousand years earlier,
the Chinese had manufactured
true porcelain. In Mongol
times they produced under
glaze blue decorations of great
beauty on a white porcelain
body, which flowered under
the patronage of the Ming dy-
nasty. Elegant designs painted
in cobalt oxide on the dried
clay were transformed by fire
into rich blues. y

els on the glaze and color in

Large jar decorated with egrets
among locust plants, a dish
with an incised dragon under
a solid deep blue glaze and q
small stem-cup with the de-
sign in pale underglaze blue
and overglaze enamels of deli
cate tones extensively copied
in 18th century China (Man-
chu).
The Freer's % pieces of blue
white provide a comprehensive
representation of this ware
during $50 years. The earliest
example here is a large bowl
0ate 14th century,. The reigns
of Yung-lo Q403-1425) and
Hsu-an-te Q426-1435), a "sort
of golden age of blue and
white" according to Mr.. Pope,
are well represented in this
show.
His favorite piece Of Ming
blue-and-white is a bowl Gil
lustrated above) of the Ch'eng-
hua reign (1465) with grace
full swaying figures and land
scape and rich floral decora-
ton. The last reign represent
ed in the group is that of

which, he said, rode the sea
lanes to the West" to awaken
in Europe the beginning of
the interest so advanced to-
day.
An illustrated catalogue of

Zion Baptist Church Notes

The Old Year just passed, the
New Year has made its arrival.
There have been many resolutions,
some of which may be kept, and
others no doubt forgotten. One
thing we must look forward to is
that we must watch (Self) which
is our greatest enemy.
Rev. Bolts, our pastor, preached
a lovely sermon on New Years
Eve Dec. 81, at 11:45 p. m. His
subject was Love" which we
badly need more of. His sermon
was based on First Corinthians
18th verse" Behold what manner
of love the Father has bestowed
upon us, that we should be called
the sons of God.
Rev. Bolts said that we should
all seek to know the divine will
of God and learn more of His
ways. Much inspiration was given
to all who heard the sermon.
A wonderful letter was read by
L. R. Perkins, the theme of which
was If we expect to go higher in
1858 we must put our faith in
God and get together, for together
we stand and divided we fall. We
commend Brother Perkins for his
wonderful letter.
Mrs. Pauline Erwin, 1904 Cedar
Ave. and Mr.. Edgar Steele united
with the church for baptism. Mr..
Edward Law, $50 Irving Ave. No.
renewed his membership. Three
persons were baptised with Rev.
f. ], Henderson administering the
rites. Candidates were Edgar
Steele, Valford Kelly and Maurice
Jacox. Communion followed the
baptism.

Breedlove. Miss Willie Whitaker
and Dave King, all of Minneapolis.

sympathy to the family OF Bro

the Lord be with them in their
sorrow.-Ms. f. J. Henderson.
