THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C. FICTION co/?a®? MASQUERADE By ESTHER AND WARREN HALL J ANET’S lips opened in a sound less exclamation. Dred! Swiftly, in one breath-taking instant, all her mingled memories of Dred Cum mings merged and rushed to meet him as he came across the Waldorf lobby. He was older — six years older, Janet reckoned quickly—and his face was burgeoning slightly with the subtle promise of another chin. But he still wore his custom- made charm as debonarily as his well-tailored clothes. Janet flicked down her glove and looked at her watch. Three twenty- five. This certainly was no time to be renewing the past. She leaned back in her chair and turned as though to speak to the small boy standing at her elbow. Perhaps Dred wouldn’t recognize her. Per haps he wouldn’t even see her and Geoff. "Janet, light of my life!” Somehow she managed a casual smile. "Gracious,” she said lightly, “it must be old-home week. How are you, Dred?” He grasped her outstretched hand and held it, for a moment, between both of his. The Cummings’ tech nique. She could remember how that ardent pressure had thrilled her the first time they met, and how hollow it had seemed the day they parted, the day she was leaving for Reno. "I swear.” he said, "you’re pret tier than ever — if that’s possible. But of course, dolls never age, do they — particularly Dresden dolls with spun-gold hair and the bluest china eyes in the world. And that’s what you were, you know. The little Dresden doll I brought to life.” "It was kind of you,” Janet told him. "Let there be life and there was life. I should be eternally grate ful.” She wasn’t bitter about it now. Not very bitter, anyhow. But he must never guess her desolation when she first realized that other women were as indispensable to Dred Cummings as his brushes and palette. He must never know his memory had left a pall that not even little Geoff’s sunny affection nor his father's kindness could dispel. “Come, come, my dear,” he was saying. "That’s hardly fair. I wish yod'd pose for me again. Just once. Do you know, since our divorce I’ve hardly been able to touch a brush to canvas.” • "Except for that one-man exhibi tion at the Anderson Galleries,” Janet said wryly, "and those mu rals at the fair and . . .” "Oh, I suppose I’ve managed to struggle along," he agreed. "But how about you?” For the first time he noticed Geoff. “Why, Jan! You haven't . . . this isn’t . . .” Janet hesitated. The flush on her cheeks deepened. “This is my job,” she said, reaching out and hugging Geoff close to her side. "Did you expect me to go into a convent?” Cummings studied the boy a mo ment. “You’re a handsome little fel low, at that,” he admitted grudging ly. “How old are you?” “I’ll be five tomorrow,” Geoff boasted. “That’s why Daddy’s going to meet us here. He’s going to buy me a fire engine, the biggest one in the biggest store in New York.” “Five,” Cummings reflected aloud. “I must say, Jan, that isn’t very flattering. You waited Just about long enough for the ink to dry on the decree. What’s your name, son?” “I'm Geoffrey G. Huxley Jr.,” Geoff said. where she belonged with Geoff and the man she knew now she loved. “You’ve taken awfully good care of Jan,” she heard Cummings say. "She never looked better, not even when she was Mrs. Cummings.” "Well, we try to keep her happy,” Huxley responded, smiling warmly at Janet. “Don’t we, Geoff?” “They are good to me,” Janet said, and her voice was suddenly husky. Geoff slipped his hand into hers. “How about my present?" he wanted to know. “True enough,” Cummhjgs put in. “I mustn’t get in the way of a fire engine. And I'll leave you, sir, to guard an old flame. Goodby, Janet.” He pressed her hand a moment and was gone. Janet turned to Huxley. "I’m sorry,” she said wearily. "I didn’t intend to . . . to . . .” "To pretend you were Geoffrey’s mother instead of his governess,” he finished for her. "I realize that, Janet. But if you only knew how mm Somehow she managed a casual smile. "Gracious,” she said lightly, "It must be old-home week.” Cummings whistled softly. “THE Geoffrey G. Huxley? Standard Oil Huxley? You did pretty well, Jan.” Janet nodded. Yes, she’d done pretty well, up to now. But any min ute. . . . She rose quickly. "I mustn’t keep you Dred. It’s been nice seeing you again, almost like having a lock of your hair. I . . .” Her voice trailed off. She might have known. Geoffrey G. Huxley Sr., big, hearty and peren nially rumpled, was striding toward them, an eager grin on his tanned face. “Hello, son.” He stooped and tousled the boy’s hair affectionately. “Hope I haven’t kept you waiting long,” he said to Janet. She shook her head and raised her hands in a slight, helpless gesture. “Mr. Cum mings—Mr. Huxley.” "Dred Cummings?” Huxley asked with obvious interest. The other man nodded. "That’s right. Your wife has told you about me, I suppose.” Huxley glanced at Janet’s strained face. "The papers have been full of those murals of yours,” he said easily. Janet stood very still, listening to their conversation, watching their faces. Dispassionately she noted Dred’s conceit, his pomposity. He was, suddenly, a stranger who should be on his way, leaving her Horizonal 1 High mountain 4 Band of leather 9 Female swine 12 Through 13 Goddess of peace 14 Pastry 15 Likewise 16 Tower on a flying field to indicate the course 17 Music: high 18 Kind of lettuce 20 Scandinavian literary works 22 Sod 24 Unit 25 To discharge 28 Tierra del Fuego Indian 29 Shack 30 Face * downward 31 Ait 33 River in Scotland 34 Perfume obtained from flowers !5 Demure 36 Samoan mud worm 38 To check 39 Short watch chain 40 Plays a part 41 Haile Selassie's title 43 Sheep’s cry 44 Ocean 46 To ascend 48 Limb 51 Skill 52 Relating to sound 53 Strong akaline solution 54 Teamster’s cry 55 To set upright «« Still Solution In Next Issne. t 2 t 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 U 12 U 14 15 16 U 18- 19 m 20 \ 21 22 23 M m 24 V///y m 25 26 27 28 m 29 m 30 31 32 W/< 33 34 V/M, YKr 35 m 36 37 38 m 39 i 40 41 42 | 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 Vertical 1 Likely 2 Constellation 3 To postpone 4 Tastes 5 Attempt 6 To yield 7 Positive pole 8 To hang 9 By fits and starts 10 To lubricate 11 Moist 19 Belonging to 21 Unsubstantial 22 Toward 23 To coalesce 24 Not at home 26 Unskilled 27 Symbol for tellurium 29 Pronoun 30 To work at steadily 32 Narrow way No. 42 33 Small, plump horse 34 Landmeasure 35 Trigonometri cal function 37 Bone 39 Rage 40 Molten lava 42 Means of ingress 43 Zone 44 To droop 45 Before 47 Pouch 49 Head organ 50 To acquire Anawer to Pnaila Number «1 £ £.

Per haps, if you approve, we can give Geoff both.” Stassen at Best On Labor Issues Serial B-41 WHERE I STAND By Harold E. Stassen (Doubleday—205 p. p.—$2) By Bill Schoentgen In an age of quasi-literate politi cians, Mr. Stassen, the determined candidate for Republican presiden tial nomination, has tugged at the bootstraps of his social conscious ness and raised himself above the hurly-burly of the vote-getting mob to the rare level of a forthright po litical thinker who takes as his ken his own national society. The former governor of Minne sota attempts no probing into the intricacies of foreign policy and makes no bones about admitting it. His thesis is that once a sound, for ward-looking domestic organization has been achieved, an equally con structive foreign policy may be worked out from that basis. This is not to say that the lack of an ex pression on foreign policy is not felt in Mr. Stassen’s book It is one of the shortcomings. More important, Stassen’s lethar gic estimate of foreign policy, his relegation of it to a secondary posi tion, his failure even to touch upon the voluminous subject of foreign aid, all would seem to indicate a preference for a kind of tolerant, elastic nationalism. Whether or not this is the right time for the emer gence of a strong nationalistic phi losophy in the United States is a topic which is being subjected to universal debate. The man from Minnesota consistently refrains, in his book, from entering the discus sion. It is an omission which un doubtedly will be brought piercingly to his attention by his more antag onistic colleagues. But it is in the area of labor prob lems and labor legislation that the writer is most confident of his ground. In a single monolithic chap ter he dissects and analyzes the varying status of the United States labor movement from 1920 to 1947, and nails down with a hammer of undeceptive realism its inevitable relation to the prosperity and sound ness of the entire economy. Stassen offers his theories on la bor in the form of the testimony which he presented before the sen ate labor committee in February of this year, during the period when congress was preparing the legisla tion which ultimatly resulted in the Taft-Hartley act. That law, he believes, “will be the foundation for a fair, just and well- balanced labor policy in America.” In total, Stassen approves of the act. Specifically, he is opposed to three portions of the law as it stands: (1) The provision making it unlawful for a labor organization to contribute to election funds; (2) the non-Communist affidavit rule; (3) the “ultimatum” stipulating that ex isting union shop contracts cannot be renewed unless and until an elec tion is held and a majority of all employees votes in the affirmative. For the rest of his platform, Stas sen turns to the issues of taxation (with which he deals from the stand point of “dynamic capital”), hous ing, survival of small business and the paucity of medical care and hos pital facilities. To each of these he brings an application of the ciassic Republican theory of laissez faire and damns heartily all efforts to give the federal government greater control in those fields. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ MSM0S. >X‘X*X*X*>X*X , X , X*X*X*X*X-X*X*X*X*I Jellies Make Charming Christmas Presents! Fruit Favorites Did you ever think of giving prize winning jellies or home preserved things for presents? They are one of the most pleasant gifts to receive as well as to give, and with their vari ety of colors you can make a spar kling array of them very appropri ate for holiday giving. It’s true that the jelly season is past, and few fresh berries are avail able, but then many homemak ers have put up juice to be made into jelly. For those of you who don’t have those resources, try a canned or bottled juice like grape, and make use of the citrus fruits. If you want to do something par ticularly nice, make a few batches of chutney and put them up in small jars. They’ll be a welcome addition to anyone’s meat course, now that supplies of that food are low and we are trying to use the economical cuts for budget purposes. Grape Jelly.

Christian Fellowship Lesson for December 7, 1947 Dr. Newton S UNDAY’S lesson is based on the short third Epistle of John. You can read it in two minutes, but you will not exhaust its meaning in a lifetime. Link with III John the devo tional reading found in First Corinthians 1:10-17, and you have a great and glorious picture of Christian fellow ship. Note these words: “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same things, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judg ment,” I Corinthians 1:10. And these words from III John, second verse: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul pros- pereth.” Here we have the basis for Chris tian fellowship. • • • Let Us Love One Another TIT HAT is the first test of Chris- ’ ' tian fellowship? Read I John 4:7. Love one for another is the first and last test of Christian fellow ship. Of course, love one for an other Is dependent upon love to ward God. We do not really love one another until we first love God. And we do not love God until we realize that he first loves us. Why do we keep certain letters? Because they are from those who love us, and whom we love. Boys and girls can help to make this a better world if they will express their love one for another in letters. • • • Gracious Words IN ECCLESIASTES 10:12, we read: “The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious.” Christmas will soon be here. There will be many Christmas cards and Christmas letters. Let us think carefully of some lonely boy or girl in our community who may not re ceive such a message unless you send it. More than that, think of the lonely boy or girl in the hospital, in the orphan home, in the under privileged tenement. Think what a letter from you to such a lonely neighbor would mean! • • • Doing Good C HRISTIAN fellowship, in the last analysis, is doing good. "He that doeth good is of God,” says John, and we know that it is true. Intermediate boys and girls can seize upon numerous methods of proving their Christian attitude as we come on toward the Christmas season. Discuss with your teacher next Sunday the idea of providing Christmas gifts for underprivileged boys and girls of your age. If not in your community, somewhere. While in Europe last summer, I was impressed with the fact that there will be very little Christmas for the young people in many of those lands this year. War has left its frightening deso lation. The people are without money and without homes and without clothing and without food. May I suggest that you discuss plans by which you may send pack ages through CARE to some lonely, needy neighbor in Europe this Christmas, thus proving your sense of Christian fellowship. * • • Furthering the Gospel A S WE grasp more fully the meaning of this lesson next Sunday, our hearts will gladly re spond to the opportunities for fur thering the Gospel of Jesus Christ, even as Gaius and Demetrius im pressed John. In every community are crying needs for Christian ministry. Your newspapers will be telling of spe cial opportunities for Christmas help. Your Community Fund chairman can give you names of worthy neighbors who need help. "I thank God for your fellowship in furtherance of the Gospel from the first day until now,” wrote Paul to the Philippian Christians. How did they show this fellow ship? In many, many practical ways, some of which Paul names. They sent food, books, clothing. More than that, they gave them selves in personal visitation to lone ly friends. They cheered the faint. How happy we shall be if after the study of this lesson we go out to do with all our might what our hands find to do. • • • (Copyright by tbe International Council of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations.
