FAMOUS FABLES
By 2. z. EDGAR

UNKINDEST OUT: Theatrical
producer Flo ziegfeld once paid
a writer $500 for a sketch in
a forthcoming follies.
Several weeks passed. Then,
shortly before the opening Zieg-
field saw the same sketch in a
show presented by Lee Shubert.
Angirly he summoned the writer
to his Office.
Don't be sore. Flo" apologized
the latter. Il didn't mean to sell
the same sketch twice, but 1
needed the money"
I'm not sore about that" cried
Ziegfeld. What burns me is that
you should be so unethical as to
give it to Shubert for $1,000"
REJECTED: When Grover
Cleveland was elected President
the first time. he was deluged
with job requests from loyal
party members. One supporter
asked for a post in the diplo-
matte corps. Tactfully. Cleveland
turned him down.
But. Mr.. President" pleaded
the other, Il told everyone back
home ! was sure to receive an
appointment. What will tell
them now?"

we separated. We made plans to
divorce and I started going out
with another man. We planned
to marry, but when he learned
I was to have a child. this man
ran out on me before the divorce.
My husband was very decent
about the whole thing. He paid
the hospital bills and we finally
became reconciled. We are now
living together again, but Jerry
says he just can't stand the baby.
I try to tell him how foolish that
is. The baby isn't to blame. The
whole thing was Jerry's fault in
the first place.
Jerry N.-Harriet puts the
blame on me. but she doesn't
mention that I never wanted to
separate from her.

rated from my own kids. That
was all Harriet's idea. q
Plenty of women have given
their husband another chance
under those circumstances. They
don't go of having an affair
with another man before they
are even divorced.
I told Harriet ! am willing to
support the kid. but she can't
expect me to warm up to him
and treat him as if he was my
own. It's not right. I know, but
the baby gets on my nerves.
The Councils View
Harriet and Jerry have both
been wrong and foolish and
there is no point to their talk
about which one is more re-
Sponsible for their unfortunate
situation. Each is equally guilty
and entitled to his and her
share of forgiveness from the
other.
One thing is sure, however
the new baby is not in the least

to blame and should not have
to suffer the consequences of
this adult-created. mess. This
child cannot grow up normally
unless Jerry can accept him and
learn to love him.
If Jerry cannot bring himself
to this point, the couple should
consider placing the child out
for adoption. In this way, the
baby will find two loving parents.
1t is a difficult decision to
make. Harriet and Jerry will
have to talk the problem over
with a clergyman and with rep
reSentatives of a reliable agency
which handles adoptions.

Il should have known better

(quinine water)." said a patient
recently. But even If I had been
warned that I might get sick ]
don't think I would have listened.
I wouldn't have believed it."
He had just been discharged
from the hospital where he had
spent about 10 days getting over
a stubborn and distressing skin
eruption that had attacked prac-
tically every inch of his skin.
With it he had dever, nausea.
ringing in the ears. deafness and
dizziness.
At first the doctors were
Istumped: they could not even
guess at the cause. But when he
had become more comfortable,
they began taking a complete
history. They asked him If he
had ever been sensitive to any,
thing: drugs, plants. foods or
anything else.
Quinine Is Culprit
He answered that as far as he
knew all that ever bothered him
was taking quinine. When he was
a boy the doctor gave him some
for cold and he had broken
out for a few days. He was ad-
vised never to take the drug
again. Once when he was in
a barber shop the barber had
used quinine water as an AFTER
shave lotion. A few hours later
his face broke out.
But he couldn't understand
what had caused the latest
trouble. He hadn't taken any
medicine internally, or exter-
nally. His doctors kept asking
questions and at last came up
with the clue. This man had
been to a cocktail party the
previous night. He had taken
three or four gin-and-tonics-
that's what everybody was hav-
ing" Gin had never disagreed
with him before because he
knew his limits"
One doctor then said: Don't
you know that there's a little
quinine in the fizz water you
took with your drinks last
night"
Our patient looked at him
puzzled and then the realization
struck him fully: "Oh, no." he
said.

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER
Fother Kelly Goes to Right Field

Writers Guild. You're head OF
it,"
The young priest could never
remember how that ball game
came out. There were two ways
of looking at the Writers Guild.
One was that Father Kelly was
being sent out to play right field.
Far out. The other was that he
had a golden opportunity.
Father Kelly played the second
bunch.
One of his earliest friends was
Joyce Kilmer, the poet who
wrote Trees" 1t was Father
Kelly who urged him to fight
in World War I. The poet was
killed in that war: shot not far
from Father Duffy, who was
chaplain of the Fighting 69th.
Father Kelly was so upset by the
news that he told me, years
later, that he often addressed
his petitions to the poet, SO sure
was he that Kilmer was in
Heaven.
Father Kelly's Method
The Spasms lessened a little
in the middle years. Three a
week. The Writers Guild bought
an old brownStone building on
West list street. For years, the
priest could eat nothing except
melba toast and honey. Still,
when he met writer's, his big
fists would curl, his jaw would
come out, and he would demand
to know why more of them were
not writing about his boyhood
girlfriend-the Blessed Mother.
He was at his best when writ
ers were discouraged. His cure
was to roar with rage. the long
arms metronoming, and demand
to know how a writer with all
this talent could afford to sit
and brood like a schoolgirl.
Father Kelly worked the cure
on me when I didn't have two
dimes and no sane editor wanted
anything ! might write.
Last year, when he passed 20.
Father Kelly's spasms almost
disappeared. He sat long hours
alone in the brownstone house,
among the dusty books, the old
pictures Of Father Duffy and
Joyce Kilmer. At least one of
the young men who had studied
under the old man was now a
bishop.
/ The fire had almost left him,
too. He sat alone. He wrote dog
lgerel and he wrote about his
girl friend. When the book was
finished, it was called Heaven
Is a Circus" No publisher
begged for it. In a final humilia-
ton, Father Kelly borrowed
money and published it himself.
/ attended the cocktail" party
on publication day. He seemed
embarrassed as each of us stood
to tell a little of what we knew
about this great man.
Today. the man in Misericor-
dia Hospital looks tired. His big
ugly hands trace a silent pat
tern on the bedspread. His eyes
search the ceiling. Johnny Kelly
is moving offstage. He has time
perhaps for final bow, if some
one will applaud.

Children Seek
LandscapingAid

Youngsters at Maple Glen in
the Children's Center at Laurel
have begun q do-it-yourself
landscaping program, but they
hope other beauty lovers will
help, too.
When Cedar Knobs, another
residential area in the District
Public Welfare Departments
Children's Center, was opened in
1866. the trees on the grounds
were preserved. This campus at
mosphere doesn't exist at Maple
Glen. which was built earlier. It
was a victim of the land -leveling
technique.
So the children have been do
ing something about 1t.
Last month they transplanted
two graceful dogwoods from
nearby woods. They are now
thriving in front Of one Of the
cottages. They also have built
two rock gardens, as well as
pansy and rose beds.
A row Of barberry bushes now
lines one walk, donated by some
one interested in the center who
was moving. The children went
out and got the bushes.
Welfare workers will come and
get plants. bushes and trees do
mated to them. They hope for
Towering shrubs, including rho
dodendron, spiraea and forsythia,
that can be planted near the
buildings. They also hope for
cedars and spruce and little red
naples for the grounds.
Something pretty well aged"
one or two years old, would be
just right, explained Maple
Glen Supt. William E. Reed.
These would beautify the
grounds right now. But baby
plants will be welcome. too.
