BY PETEH j. bTEhNChOHN
DEAR DIR. sTEINCROHN;
About two years ago when ]
was away I received word
that my mother was not feel
ing well. I was shocked when
I arrived home 10 find that
she had lost is pounds, was
very pale and vert weak. A
doctor had given her pills for
her nerves but had not given
her q complete physical
examination. I thought II
logical that she should have
one because she Is now IS
years old.
The physical changes. how
ever, are not the most inn
portant that have taken
place in my mother. She was
always a very laxative per-
son. full Of interests, ques-
tions and comments-giving
frank opinions on all issues.
Lately she has become pro-
gressively more quiet. She
will hardly speak to people
who come into the house:
even those she knows well.
Most of her time is spent
watching TV and IN reading.
We (the family feel very
helpless as we live in differ
ent places and see our mother
only a few days-here and
there. She refuses to 60 to a
doctor and says she is all
right. The family fears she
is losing her mind. I feel that
I have let her down when she
really needs me but don't
know where to begin. There
must be something more than
Just wishing for a miracle.

swer. I can only guess. Per-
haps a miracle is not essential.
Perhaps you have let her
down-perhaps not. Only you

FAMOUS FABLES
BY Z. Z. EDGAR

FAINT: Artist John Singer
Sargent. never a ladies' man,
found the female a bafning
phenomenon.
One day he was painting
the portrait of a society ma
iron who complained that
his picture did not do justice
TO her beauty. An argument
ensued. Suddenly the lady
became historical and fell to
the floor in a faint.
This was a development
with which Sargent was moi
equipped to cope. He was too
shaken to even attempt to
revive her. Instead he let her
lie where she had fallen and
resumed his painting.
ADVICE: Architect Frank
Lloyd Wright once built a
house for a wealthy client.
When 1t was completed the
owner staged a party to cele-
brate. 1t was a rainy night
and. to his embarrassment,
the roof leaked. Fuming. he
phoned Wright.
What kind of house is
this?" he demanded. I'm
sitting in the living room and
the water is dripping on me.
What shall I do?"
why don't you move your
chair?" suggested Wright.

Between each verse of the
hymn. the music stopped and
the minister recited the next
one. There were no hymnals in
the church. Some members car
ried the verses in books printed
in the old personal---very. or

verses in their hearts.
Melancholy Singing
I shall remember this singing
for years-a slow, melancholy
almost despairing singing that
reverberated from the high
white ceiling and the undeco-
rated walls.
The ministers sermons in
terwove scripture readings with
Christian principles to be fol-
lowed by the congregation. A
woman across from me wiped
her eyes as the minister in
structed the worshippers to re-
main strong despite many
troubles and temptations. I saw
other women blowing their
noses.
A stifled sobbing rose
throughout the congregation

forgiveness for wrongdoing and
Christian acts omitted from
their lives.
