FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

CORRECTIONAL writer for
a national magazine once wrote
a biographical article about
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull.
When 1t was finished he sent
the manuscript to the Secretary
for approval.
The moment it was out of his
hands the writer recalled with
regret that he had referred to
Hull as "the best poker player
in his company" during the
Spanish-American War. This,
he felt sure, would be blue
penciled and might even bring
a reprimand.
The reprimand did not ma
terialize. But the Secretary
did use the blue pencil. When
the article was returned to him
the writer observed that Mr..
Hull had crossed out the word
company" and had substituted
regiment"
RECEPTION - King Edward
VII of England was a demo-
cratic monarch who entertained
guests from every social stra-
tum at his palace receptions.
AT one OF these receptions
he was chatting with a wealthy
clothier, who had been elevated
to the peeraee. The latter, a
full-hedged snob. frowned on
the dancers, actors and other
"commoners" who were present.
your Majesty. how could you
invite them to the palace?" he
asked.

THE DETAILS

John F.-My wife and / have
been happily married six years
and have three youngsters. l
am not the dallying sort, but I
recently got into very serious
trouble at a business conven-
ton.
l have been going to these
things for years and have never
had anything to do with some
of the wilder goings-on. At the
last get-together. however. l
drank a bit too much and al
lowed myself to be led astray.
AS fate would have it, there
was an accident and a whole
bunch of us got into trouble

1t was terrible experience and
I almost thought I would have
a nervous breakdown as a re-
suit. Nv wife learned about the
whole thing, as did other wives,
and she still refuses to forgive
me now after eight months.
Shouldn't she have a little I'M
derstanding?
Clara F.-Terrible it is. I
could forgive this one incident.
but I have been conducting my
own private investigation and
I've learned that my husband
has not been the goody-goody
he claims to have been at these
affairs.
One woman learned from her
husband that my husband was
one of the ringleaders. She told
me that lot of women blame
my husband for the way these
affairs have been conducted be-
cause he is an important local
chief in the organization.
/ have never miStruSted my
husband. but now I see that
he is'a brazen liar-on top of
being a cheat. He has dis
graced himself, me, the chill
'dren. his organization. Should
i pin a medal on him?
THE COUNCILS VIEW
Because of her shock at this
lurid scandal. Clara seems to
have gone too far overheard in
her need to condemn her hus-
band. Whether or not Johns
responsibility in the affair was
greater than he admits, Clara
should realize that the addi-
tional information came to her
through malicious gossip, and
she should treat it as that.
No responsible person would
give Clara the kind of informa-
ton she has gotten. Ring

make 81 a day. They don't re-
port my pay for social security
because they said ! had to work

No. You are under social Sc
curity in each calendar quarter
during which you're paid at
least $50 by either one of the
women. Each OF them should
make a quarterly report of your
wages to the Internal Revenue
Service. They may get report

should get one Immediately

No. Rent of this sort is not

A hundred years ago, the
Paullst Fathers were organized.
They built a big church called
St. Paul the Apostle in New
York. This year, the centenary
of the order and the church
fell due. Like most churches of
all denominations, st. Paul the
Apostle has a few rich parish
toner's and many poor. All of
TIL e m wanted a celebration.
The question was: how? where?
how much? how big?
The boss is Father John F.
Carvlin, priest of ruddy COM
plexion and hair OF snow. He
listened to the big plans and he
shook his head. Some of the
committee members wanted to
hire the main ballroom at the
Plaza Hotel. They wanted roast
beef-big thick slabs of it-and
they wanted music and an or
nate cocktail party first and
ladies in evening gowns and
they wanted the mayor Of New
York and flowers on the tables
and real demitasse and dane
ing and Sammy Kaye and a
hoarse below of triumph to-
ward the beginning of their
second century.
Impossible Plans
It couldn't be done. 1t was
too ambitious. Where" as
priests, ministers and rabbits
are forever moaning, ARE we
going to get the money!" Some
clerics practice that sentence
in their sleep so as to achieve
the proper pathos.
Father Carvlin said it, and
left it there. A few days later,
he received a small package.
In it was a woman's solid-gold
watch with % diamonds set
around the tiny face. There
was a message. For all the
Paulists," it read. God bless
them and may they remember
me in their prayers. 1t was
signed MARY Rheinstrom"
The watch was worth a
thousand dollars if it was
worth q dime. Father Carvlin
phoned Mrs. Rheinstrom to
thank her. She said that she
was donating it for a rattle.
The money from the rattle
would pay for the big ballroom
at the Plaza. 1t should also
pay for the roast beef.
The centenary began to show
little life. Tickets we're print
ed. The watch became well
known. II was Saint Paul's
watch. a little bit effeminate
for a big fellow like himself to
be wearing, but an anniversary
is an anniversary and you take
the gifts as they come.
Chances sold for dollar.
Most Of them we're bought by
Jews in the Garment Center OF
New York. They gave and gave
and gave so that the people of
an alien faith could have a
big celebration. Protestants
heard the story about st. Paul's
watch and they too bought
tickets, five and 10 at a time.
Money Flows
Father Carvlln couldn't be-
lieve 1t. Enough money poured
in to turn his hair black again.
He rented the big ballroom at
the Plaza. He ordered another
room, with floral decorations,
for a cocktail party. Mrs. John
Gleason, a parishioner, said
that she would ask her husband

Some men like to rule over
their wives; and some women
I know like to rule their men.
My husband is different. He
doesn't want to lord it over
me. but he certainly irritates
me in his own way. He's no
drunkard or gambler He
cashes his check and gives it
to me and I spend it,
But how he loves to criti-
CHE me and pull me down
yet doesn't like to have the
same done to him. He should
have been an efficiency expert!
Whatever / do is wrong! He
