REPORTER

No one believes the story
of the teeth. Telling it again
won't help. But it happened.
My father stopped in one
evening and asked my
mother-in-law Maggy if she
would like an evening out.
My mother was going to a
shower and it left Big John
with little to do.
HE LIKED MAGGY. So he
took her to dinner. 1t required
a little time and work for
her to get into whatever
medieval harness she wore.
Maggy was exactly 5 feet tall
and weighed 100. BY the time
she got into the silk print
dress with the lavender
flowers and the hem Of the
slip had been yanked up on
one side with a knot in the
shoulder strap, Maggy was in
a mad sweat.
She was a loud, hearty
woman who loved good food
and a highball. Big John
took her to the Banjo Bar
in Hackensack and they sat
in a booth discussing life's
sorrows.
The sadder it got, the more
frequently my father tagged
the waiter. Big John was a
huge man with snowy hair.
He's a good talker and a good
listener. Maggy was giving
him a rundown on how grand
life was when her Frank was
alive. He had known Frank
Dunning at Lodge Eli, Elks
Club, and the two of them
laughed and almost wept, and
and called the waiter for an
other round.
Maggy was peering at him
through her glasses. He was
a pink and white blur. She
bought her glasses off q
counter in the five-and-ten.
They were great, she main
tanned, but sometimes she
used them and, as an addi-
tional optical crutch, a mag
nifying glass. Maggy wasn't
cheap. She was the best pow
erty- stricken sport I ever met.
They ordered dinner and
agreed that the roast beef
was delicious. Maggy moved
into an ear of corn and her
bridge came out standing in
kernels. This struck them
funny and they laughed some
more and called the waiter
for another cool TRANSMISSION.
Maggy put the teeth in
her purse. There we're three

ROzelle Pupils
Study Weaving
The weaving of wool to the
lncas in frigid Peru meant
warmth and life itself; to the
Egyptians of the sultry Nile il
meant artistic designs and fab
rics. But the process of weaving
lis essentially the same all over
the world: you pass the wool
through the warp (or is it the
warp through the wool?), and
push it tight, and then do il
again
But color and design varia-
tions on this ageless process are
endless and fascinating. 1t was
to explore some of these possi-
bilities that the fourth grade
students of Mrs. Anne Jolliff
at Rozelle School recently de-
cided to do some free-hand
weaving of their own.
The results are quite colorful
and individualistic. Even the
sizes and shapes Of the woven
pieces are varied, because the
children used hand-looms that
were not alike. And there are
almost as many kinds of pat
terms as there are children, for
each one was told to form any
kind of design he wished to
make. The materials also vary,
with string, wool, ribbon, rick
rack, tape, and even straw used
to enhance the unique character
of its makers product.
