- "what in the name Of
.Aecency--and common sense

year-old parent who can no
longer make 1t? :"
Thus, in growing numbers,
q come the appeals Of well-off,
respectable people-usually
married couples. One or the

an old mother or an old
father who is beginning to
suffer lapses Of memory, run

!. physical failure.
Nice people can't turn their
heads. But they don't see
how they can spare money
to provide care for such a
parent. They find 1t not
feasible, for one reason or
more, to bring the parent into

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

Impresario s. Hurok has
q matchless talent for ham
ding temperamental artists.
At one time he was the
manager Of Opera Star Feo-
dor Chaliapin. One day the
Russian basso had a dis
agreement with Gatti-C -Casay-
"a, the general manager Of
the Metropolitan opera
House. One word led to an
other. Finally the two
parted in anger.
Gatti returned to his Office
and slammed the door behind
him. Chaliapin stormed into
his dressing room and
slammed the door behind
him.
Hurok, distressed, waited
until the dust Of battle had
settled. Then he, went to
Gatti and told the director
that Chaliapin regretted his
ill-chosen words and wanted
to apologize.
A few moments later he
Evening star., 1959-11-12

went to Chaliapin and told
the singer that Gatti was
reproaching himself for his
burst Of temper and was
eager to apologize.
The two emerged from
their lairs. Meeting In the
corridor, they threw their
arms around each other and
tearfully pledged eterna a !
friendship. Hurok never did
get around to telling them
that he had concocted the
apologies himself.
