AS THEY SAY in short
stories, it was no ones fault
when Francis Merritt's mar
riage began to go off the
rails. Not his wife's, surely.
Nor his own-at least, not in
any gross sense of the word.
Merritt did not go with women,
and he did not drink to ex-
cess. Perhaps the couples being
childless had something to do
with it all. For, in purely human
terms, there is nothing sadder
than passion unrequited.
SO MERRITT TRIED to find
solace in ideal pursuits, an ex-
pedient which, outside religion,
is not unattended with danger
for the human personality. When,
for example, Sputnik / flashed
across the autumn skies, Mer-
rift took to star-gazing for the
first time since an undergradu-
ate course in Astronomy. Look
ing on, resigned and compass
sionate, his wife, Anne, waited
for his latest fixation to go the
way of her husbands other ard
ent, short-lived enthusiasms.
THIS TIME, HOWEVER, vivid
interest hardened into obsession
with mystic overtones. Merritt's
business, which was that of an
architect, began to run downhill

If you are trying to get in
the spirit of Christmas, you
may be glad to read about
some persons who have be-
come famous for their con-
tributions to the joy Of the
Yuletide. Their names may be
completely forgotten in some
cases, yet, because they threw
out a word of greeting or made
some memorable gesture, they
helped to hallow the years most
welcome festival.
Anybody who can read this
garland of Christmas notes with
out experiencing some inner
glow of heart will surely be
missing out on what Christmas
has meant to Christians for
hundreds Of years.

There was a letter on the
mantel explaining what could
not be explained.
WHILE He WAITED for the
transatlantic plane, a medley Of
Christmas songs played On a
tinkling celeste chimed over the

thought how meretricious they

In Istanbul he made up his

any forwarding address. When
his supply of Travellers Checks

job he needed to stay afloat.
IN TEREHAN he DECIDED
to travel to Bethlehem by one

paralleling, as closely as pos

must have taken. 1t is worthy of
note that, as month succeeded

five and a half miles from the

intend to go to the traditional
site of the Crib until Twelfth

Huntsville, Ala, this week to
facilitate the progress of the

utilized to help the Saturn meet

and back into deep space.
According to DR.. Wehcncr

need for the IBM device. The
computer, he noted, is capable
of adding 13,74O,0OO numbers a
