A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS! FRANK COLBY

The word tassel should not
rhyme with fossil" The spelling
"tossel" was once used almost as
frequently as "tassel." and "tos-
sci" was pronounced to rhyme
with fossil" But both the SPELL
ing and pronunciation "tossel''
are now obsolete. Spell it "tassel"
and pronounce it: TASS-ul.
Watch the word partner; note
that it is spelled with 1t" and
not ID" Be sure to say: PART
lner.
Incidentally, it may help us to
write and sound the "t' In part
ner If we will remember that pard
is a word which means leopard. "
"Pardner," therefore. is a nom
sensical word. Better avoid@it.
The word disastrous has three
syllables only. Not "di-ZASS-ter-
uss." Note that the third syllable
is trous. Be sure to say: dizASS-
truss.
Hindrance is another word in
which an extra syllable is often
heard, as "HIN-der-unss." Hin
drance is a two-syllable word.
the older spelling "hinderance"
now being obsolete. Better say:
lfv-dr'nss
Our next word usually loses a
syllable instead OF gaining one.
lAuthoritatiyely is telescoped
thus: "aw-THAWR-i-tiv-lee. I"
But the "ta" syllable should not
only be pronounced. 1t should
also receive a secondary accent,
;hus: aw-THAWR-i-TAY-t iv-lee.
Overheard in q clubroom:
The trouble with him is. he's
got an artistic temp-munt." The
word temperament, Of course,
has four syilables; and so has
the word temperature. Careful
speakers viii want to say: tenn
oer-uh-m'nt: TEM-per-uh-cher. /"

CHAPTER Is
Gold Rinxmakers

That's impossible!" 1 cried
whoever could get the pot OF
gold at the end of the rainbow
mot l." said the sorcerel
sadly. IF I could I wouldn't have
to turn people into gold. But
thought perhaps you might get
it for me because I must have
gold"
But" I protested, cit would
take time and in three days ii
will be Christmas. If Santa isn't
turned out Of stone by then
there'll be no Christmas in all
the world"
True, true" said the gold
seeker. so in order to make
you hurry I'll sprinkle this latest
powder on you"
I twisted and turned and
kicked but I could not escape
him. The awful dust fell on my
face.
I'm three days you will turn
to gold. But if you bring me
before then the bottomlesS pot
of gold from the end of the rain
bow I shall free you and all your
friends from the SPELL"
He turned me loose and 1 fell
to the floor. He rushed to the
door and opened it. Got" he or
dered. Get me gold or you will
turn to stone"
1 Ran Out Of the Palace
I stumbled out, dazed and
frightened and sure that I'd al
ready turned to stone. 1 ran out
Of the palace and found McGilli-
cuddy waiting for me under the
bush.
What did he say? Did he
agree to turn Santa back into
himself If you brought him
gold?"
YES" ! gasped. But only il
I bring him a pot Of gold"
why that's easy enough! Only
"a pot of gold!"
you don't understand. It must
be the bottomleSs pot Of gold
from the end Of the rainbow"
sank down on my heels and
buried my face in my hands.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-12-18

McGillicuddy clicked his
tongue. otis impossible. It's out
of this world!"
But it must be DONE" I whis-
pered, "or I. too, will turn to
stone"
Then I told him how the sor-
cerer had sprinkled me with a
dust that would not work for
three days. If / brought back the
gold in that time he would put
an ointment on my nose that
would save me.
But I can never find this pot
of gold!" I cried. II don't even
know where to begin to Look
In Search Of a Brownie
McGillicuddy scratched his
head. "One thing leads to an
other" he drawled. snow I've
been thinking that If We start
at the very end we might trace
things back to the very begin
ming. That way we might get to
the pot of gold"
I could not understand what
he meant. I cried Grossly, Talk
sense! There's no time for fool
ing"
Il am talking sense" the elf
insisted. He pulled a tiny gold
ring from his pocket. "A brownie
friend made this ring for me.
Wen go to him and find where
he got the gold to make the
ring. Maybe he got it from the
pot of gold we are searching
for"
How do we find your brownie
friend?" I asked.
Climb on my back" ordered
McGillicuddy.
I stared down at him. I am
very small but he was not half
my size and I thought if / got on
his back would squash him.
But I did as he told me and
he did not squash. He either got
bigger or I got smaller. Suddenly
he was running through some
woods and I was fast asleep.
When I woke I found we were
in village Of mushroom houses.
In the middle of the village
square was a large sign saying,
"Brownieville. Home of the Gold
Ring Makers"
I knew it was here our search
began.
Tomorrow: The Gold Witch

why didn't you put me in
q slam? You start of by re-
spending with two no-trump and
yet you've got four of my clubs
to an honor, a singleton, a good
heart suit and another queen.
What would you have to hold to
bid six clubs?"
This was the fifth straight
hand that Mr.. Abel had been on
the receiving end of this sort Of
thing and his morale was pretty
we'll shot.
While the lecture was in
progress he got up and walked
around the table. He took look
at Mr.. Champions hand. On the
way back to his seat he looked at
Mr.. Dale's cards and saw all
those spades right behind Mr..
Champions spade holding.
He figured his partner was
going set at five clubs. you'd
better wait until you make six
before you start screaming about
it," he said.
But Mr.. Champion did make
six. and here is how: Mr.. Dale
opened the trey of clubs and Mr..
Champion won and took two
more rounds of the suit, ending
in dummy. Then he led dummy's
king of hearts, and instead of
trumping it he discarded one Of
his small spades.
Mr.. Dale won with the ace and
led back the 10 of diamonds.
Dummy's queen won and the
Jack of hearts was led. Mrs. Keen
didn't cover and off went another
spade from the closed hand.
Next came the 10 of hearts.
Mrs. Keen played the queen and
Mr. Champion ruffed. He cashed
the ace of spades and ruffed a
spade with dummy's last trump.
The good hearts on the board
then furnished a parking place
for his last two spades and six
odd was in the bag.
As long as the trumps broke no
worse than three-one, Mr..
Champion was going to make six
If Mrs. Keen had either the ace
or queen of hearts. or both. In
fact If she had both heart honors
he would have made seven.
Poor Mr.. Abel. Here was proof
that in his present condition he
couldn't even analyze a hand
after seeing all the cards. He was
now completely demoralized-
and still the rubber wasn't over.

"SEEING RED"

RED CLOTH: When you are
seeing red you are supposed to be
as angry as a bull at a fight
where the matador is infuriating
him with a red cloth. However,
psychologists say that most ami
mails are nearly color blind. I'm
doubtedly what excites the bull
is the waving and not the color
OF the cloth.

NATO. Politicians of the moder-
ate left said they had high hopes
America was in the throes of
such a policy shift. Recent views
expressed by Admiral Radford
and Secretary of State Dulles
form part of the basis of these
fears and hopes.
If these Germans are right,
then the policy that seems now
doomed to failure will not be
American policy when the day
Iof reckoning comes around.
The apparent American policy
shift and the Russian refusal to
talk about unification certainly
will have an effect on the cleo
tons, to be set for sometime next
summer.
On one side is Chancellor Ade-
Inauer, leader of the Christian

West Germany's biggest party
On the other is the hierarchy of
the Social Democratic Party.
Basically the fight is between
these two groups, although sew
sral splinter parties will be try
ing to get enough parliamentary
seats to have strong bargaining
positions when the inevitable
coalitions are formed.
Mr.. Adenauer is expected to be
a staunch hacker of German at
Itachment to strong NATO as
long as he is leader of the Chris
tan Democrats. Recently he has
complained to newsmen that he
lis an even stronger hacker OF
lNATO than American leaders
seem to be.
Socialists Oppose NATO
The Socialists, on the other
hand, have always opposed Ger
man participation in NATO
They are telling the voters today
that the NATO agreements make
unif1cation impossible. They
promise to start prompt renego.
