However, since the manu-

There's no reason for Ma

has gone as far as she can
to solve Albert'S retirement

The question Is, will he
move?

Of it. And his program must

The women IN my family
are fallers. They can fall any
where, under the most sedate
circumstances. It is neither
an accomplishment nor o
failing-merely q character
istic. They are not particular
where they fall nor about
how many people are looking.
I have o cousin who saw q
poor picture at the State
theater and came out Of the
balcony and took q header
all the way down the stairs.
!, MY SAINTE D maternal
grandmother, Mary McSwig-
; gen Tier, was walking through
. schoolyard. minding her
own business. She tipped al
most upside down and broke
an arm. My mother-in-law
Maggy was not related by
blood to the rest Of the COL
lapsing Bishops, but she could
fall down If q stranger said
hello. Il,
Frank Dunning, my father
in-law, was a fine man and
he was never known to fall
unless the Bishop women
were around. The day I was
married, he came UP the
aisle with his daughter on his
arm and, when he approached
the altar, he went down on
one knee and couldn't get up.
This is q reverse fall.
He glared up at me and
whispered: Take her." So I
did. He still looked like q
loner at q crap game back in
the aisle.
My mother was one Of the
most accomplished fallers I
have ever seen. She was tiny
and fragile and the falls
never did anything worse than
bruise her feelings. But she
did some fancy half gamers
In her time.
The subject occurred to me
yesterday when I heard that
Q friend of mine visited Jack
Sullivan's Lodge with a girl
friend. They motored down
to Spring Lake and falling
was the farthest thing from
their minds as they dined on
rare roast beef and scotch.
My friend became so con-
vival that he insisted on join
ing the band. He played the
drums while Jack and Dorothy
Sullivan did q cha-cha. When
he left, he went out to the
parking lot and was gallantly
opening the car door for his
girl friend when she fell down.
He turned to look, as a
gentleman should, and re-
moved the cigar from his
mouth. "Millie," he said re-
proachfully, what the hell
are you doing down there?"
The most concerted falling
I have ever seen occurred at
a wedding reception. One Of
Aunt Margaret McCarthy'S
children was married and the
affair was held In the Ocean
Social Club. There was a
lobby on the ground floor and
q couple Of reception rooms.
In the basement were four
bowling alleys and the powder
room.
The falling didn't COM
mence until the toast to the
bride and bridegroom. The
place was full of relatives
from all sides of the family
some not even speaking to
others--and a stout woman
sat on . cane chair and one
Of the legs collapsed. That

avoids imitation on the one
hand and deflation on the
other"
