Suppose you be Lady of the
Table and IN be your assistant and
we'll get all the meals"
'I'll be Milford of the carriage, .
said Ted. "and hand her in and
out of the car. Gee, / wish | could

And so the plans went. Dad
looked at his watch.
Good heavens, Betsy, it's quar-
ter of nine and you're not in bed
run along quick or Mother will
sure scold me. Barb, could you
help her a bit while Ted and
Kathy help me get these dishes
done?"
The children were in a wonder
full frame of mind and the house
was peaceful, serene and clean
when mother returned from the
PTA.
The next few days saw much
whispering and planning. Sunday
morning came. Barbara set her
alarm, got up and made coffee.
Ted heard her and came down in
to the kitchen.
Lets take some to Dad, too. .
he said.
They took the tray upstairs.
Good morning, your Majesty" :"
said Barbara at the door.
Your slightest wish is to be
granted. You have today Lady
Kathy, Lady Betsy, Lord Ted and
my humble self at your command" +"
Betsy ran over and put her
crown on her Mothers head.
You're to be Queen all day long
and you must call me Milady," she
said.
Kathy laid out her mothers slip
pers and bathrobe. I'm the lady
of the wardrobe" she announced.
'You sweet, sweet children, .
said Mother. She leaned over and
squeezed her husbands hand and
her eyes were moist.

Mother Is Queen
For A Day Maybe
APP Newsfeatures

Mother was trying to hurry her
family through dinner. Tonight
was PTA meeting and she was
anxious to get over to school a
little early to be sure to see Ted's
teacher before the meeting be-
gan.
Dad was going to baby-sit and
see that all four children got to
bed at reasonable time.
Don't rush us, Liz" said Dad.
"Sit down and drink your coffee,
the kids and / will do the dishes,
won't we kids?"
Mother did relax. She hated to
leave all the cleaning up for Dad,
but then Ted had been late for
dinner and she did want him to
have time for those seconds she
knew he wanted.
After Mother left, Dad and all
four children stayed around the
table.
"You know" said Dad, next
Sunday is Mothers Day. Don't you
think it would be nice to do some
thing real special for our Mother?'
1--WE already made her a pres
ent," said Barbara, the 12-year-old.
Il wove her a pot holder"
Queen Nom
Wonderful" said Dad, "But
what would you all think of telling
Mother she is to be Queen for a
day and that we will all wait on
her and not let her do one lick of
work all day."
Gee, she'd like that" said Ted.
Lets do it"
"If Mothers Queen, that would
make us girl princesses, wouldn't
it?" said 8-year-old Kathy, land
guess Ted would have to be a
prince"
well, maybe" said Dad with an
inward chuckle. Kathy pretty much
acted like a princess around that
house anyway, he thought.
But Queens have ladies in wait
ing, too. Kathy," said Dad, Sup
pose you be Lady Kathy in charge
of the Queens wardrobe for the
day."
I'm going to make Mommie a
crown" piped up 5-year-old Betsy.

you help ne, Daddy?"
"Sure will, Lady Betsy"

however. Thanks to Columbia
Records, Mr.. Gielgud's ages
Of Man" is now available on
wax and. among recorded
Shakespeare, it is the same sort
Of sensation it was on the stage.
The recording lacks the
completeness of the original
program but it represents. new
ertheless. a brilliant digest of a
no less than spectacular one
man production.
What it proves beyond argu-
ment, at least with this corner,
is that Shakespeare could put
more of meaning and melody
into the English language than
any other of its users. And,
correlatively. that Gielgud can
get more of Shakespeare out Of
his plays and sonnets than any
actor alive.
The purpose of Gielgud in
making the recording is to
provide everyone with A min
utes of the sheerest drama en-
joyment possible. And. the
more remarkable is the enjoy
ment for the fact that acting,
supposedly a combination OF
action, dialogue and imperson-
alton, is limited here to the
single element or dialogue. Out
of this one, Gielgud gets more
than almost any other actor
with all three.
Apart from enjoyment. 1t is
this departments impression
that no other record II ever
has heard does so much to
make the sheerest magic OF the
English language.
Parents having a problem
convincing their offspring OF
this truth might turn its Solu-
ton over to Shakespeare and
Gielgud.

DAVID LAWRENCE
Clearing the Air at Geneva

The Geneva conference has
served a good purpose In one
respect. It has cleared the
air. It has demonstrated
that the Communists think
they have the upper hand
and that the West In due
time will capitulate to their
demands. This Is a kind Of
dangerous naturalization
that has led to the outbreak
of war in the past. Now the
supposition is widespread
that there can be no war. II
by this a nuclear war Is
meant, the assumption has
some support in logic. For
history shows that q balance
Of power prevents national
suicide by either set Of
belligerents. But the kind o
war that could come again
is what has been euphemisti-
cally termed a conventional
or limited war, such as hap
pened in Korea In 1850 and
lasted three years. 1t still
requires occupation troops on
both sides of an armistice
line drawn on that battle
ground.
Another Korean type OF
war could emerge in Europe
in and around West Berlin.
and the Soviet rulers are
reckless enough to risk 1t. For
they are slowly committing
themselves to positions from
which they may not feel they
can retreat. The West has the
strength to resist any kind OF
attack. But the weakness in
the Western position is that
no appeal to the peoples OF
Eastern Europe over the
heads Of the men in the
Kremlin Is being made.
For even as the Geneva
conference dawdles along. the
West has never told the peo-
Piles Of the world in unequivo-
cal terms what the basic is
sues are, and how the peace
Of the world is being endan-
gered once more by q dicta-
torship that doesn't deserve
