In the world Of "little peo-

role.
Witness any mother Of a
four-and-up-year old child

amant wee voice saying II

wear it,"
The child means it. And
the mother knows it.
AS usually the case in each
age group from toddlers. tots,
girls. and pre-teens they all
want to look older. This
means that "super-sophisti-
cation" is the goal.
In the case of Lambella
coats, exclusively sold at
Morton's, the designers also
strive to relate fashion news
to certain factors that govern
the designing Of children's
clothes.
These include grow" fea-

There was strong indication
today that a special congress

study suggested revisions to
allow more political activity by
Federal workers restricted by
the Hatch Act.
Signs of this were apparent
as the Election Subcommittee

The measure would create a
12-member commission to de-
termine what changes would be

sible freedom of political activ-
ity to the greatest possible

RETURN TO THE IS

Grimble. civilian Nor
row g. Co.: $4.50.)
This is a thoroughly de-
lightful account Of the lives
and loves Of the Polynesian
peoples who lived in the Gil
bert Islands during a hap
pier time early in this CEN
fury.
Sir Arthur was q colonial
officer in the chain of Pacific
atolls that were the death of
hundreds of United States
Marines in 1913. But the
Tarawa Of Rowland M. Smith
was not that of Arthur
Grimble.
When he was a colonial of
flcer living and working
amongst the Gilbertese, the
only bloodshed was between
angry married folks and oc-
casional outbursts Of fury be-
tween the Gilbertese and the
Chinese labor forces.
The philosophy of the po-
lygamous and fun-loving-
but ever so practical-island-
ers is beautifully told in Sir
Arthur's gentle, Victorian but
often hilarious style.
1t is obvious that he loved
the astute but unsophisti-
Gated natives. He was ruler,
policeman, father and teach
er to his brown islanders for
many years at a time when
they had just begun to learn
how to live with the mission

cific islands were charming

The first volume OF Richard

little money but much love,

through his adolescence and
young manhood, a time that
was darkened by the death
of his mother, a soaring spirit
who died in his arms after a
long illness. Jack and Dick,
disguised by the early remar-
riage of their footlooSe father,
took of on their own. Jack
was sustained by his love of
a fellow student and Dick by
his sense of poetic mission"
Moments Of ElOquence
While the plight of these

sic took them out of their

volume is not the equal of
the first. Mr.. Church's rela-

failure is of his own making.
For one thing, he is con-
stantly recapitulating his
emotional and financial re-
sources, giving his account,
despite its brevity, a repeti-

is in a sense writing around

School TriunqIe

Nathaniel Burt wrote an
unusually fresh and sensitive
story Of some boys at a prep
school in "Scotland's Burn
ing" His second novel is
MAKE MY BED Little,
Brown; $3.75).
Make My Bed" has so
much merit that its defects
are unfortunate but perhaps
do not tip the scales. This
novel, told by a music teacher
in a boys college, is about
his wife's sister, a dazzling
creature named Prudence,
and the two boys she favors,
in turn. driving each fairly
to distraction. One sutton is
Fenwick johnson (called
Butch). a music and history
major, with a background of
small-town wealth in Ohio.
The other is Horace Macil-
vaine, a scion of wealth, a
born snob and a superficial
youth of great charm.
There are some excellent
portraits, especially of ''Prue"
and her two boy friends. of
Aunt Margaret, a match
maker and busybody, and
the narrator's gusty father
in-law, a first-rate artist who
also Is q farmer.
There are too many other
characters, however. and it's
hard to keep them all
straight. And the book,
though not long, seems too
long for its rather slender
drama. The prosy details,
however. are relieved at
times with sly humor. Mr..
Burt has an annoying habit
of using direct quotes from
more than one person in the
same paragraph. so that you
are not always sure who is
talking.
