Gramma’s experience in squalls with her seafaring husband pre
pared her admirably for the role she was called upon to play when
Nedra and John called off their marriage.
N EDRA had been crying. Sitting
in her chair by the big window-
in the living room. Gramma went
on knitting. In one quick glance
she’d seen that the girl had tried
to hide the tear-stains by an inex
pert dabbing of powder around her
pretty blue eyes.
After a minute Gramma said cas
ually, “John left early.”
“And not a minute too soon,”
Nedra returned quickly, sinking
deeper into the fireside chair and
turning her face away.
“Ho, so you two had a quarrel.”
Gramma knitted a little faster than
before.
“No, a conflagration, an explo
sion, a dissolution, a parting of the
ways.” Nedra’s voice was both
angry and vehement, and a little
tearful too.
“As bad as that?” Gramma In
quired mildly.
“I gave him his ring. It’s all
over,” Nedra swallowed a sob
quickly.
Gramma made a little clucking
sound but she went on plying her
needles industriously.
At last Nedra burst out unhap
pily. “Well, aren’t you going to
console me, or congratulate me,
whichever the case may be?”
Gramma stopped knitting for a
moment, looked up. “You and John
have quarreled before. They are
something like the squalls we’d
sometime meet up with on the Saint
Lawrence when I’d made a trip
with your grandfather on his steam
er. He was a sea-captain, you
know. Well, there’d be a terrible
lot of noise and wind, and then the
most beautiful calm you ever saw.
It’s natural for people in love like
you and John to quarrel once in a
whUe.”
Nedra sat up. “Darling, you’re
an incurable sentimentalist. John
and I are sensible and modern and
analytical about love, as all young
people are nowadays. We’ve had
several bitter quarrels since we be
came engaged, so we’ve simply had
to face the fact that we’re not com
patible and that marriage would be
a mistake.”
“It was sensible of course to face
this before it was too late.”
“It’s the modern way,” Nedra
said in a small, desolate voice.
“But love is not modern,” Gram
ma observed quietly. Theii she
added, “but of course someday
you’ll meet the right man.”
The sudden white horror of Ned
ra’s sweet face was likd* a shock.
“There’ll never be another man,
never!” she exclaimed passionate
ly, as she rose and left the room.
Two or three days passed. One
day at noon Nedra was lying on a
chaise longue in her room, listlessly
turning the pages of a magazine
when Gramma burst in, excitingly
waving two important looking tick
ets.
"Listen, darling, we’re going
places. We’re shipping on a fruit-
boat for . . . for . . .” she studied
the tickets for a moment, “for Trin
idad.”
“Where on earth is that?” Nedra
asked indifferently, still pretending
to be interested in her magazine.
Gramma lifted her shrewd dark
brows. “My dear, I don’t seem to
have the slightest idea, but if we
stay on the boat long enough, I
imagine we’ll find out.”
Nedra sat up. “Now, look, you
absurd darling, if you’re taking me
on a sea voyage because you think
my heart is broken, that’s out. Girls
these days when disappointed in
love, don’t waste time languishing.
They go in for careers, maybe poli
tics or something.”
"It’s been the desire of my life
to travel on a fruit-boat,” Gram
ma said fervently.
Nedra stared at her for a mo
ment; then yielded. “In that case
we’ll go.”
So it happened that in a very
few more days, Gramma and Nedra
found themselves on a fruit-boat
bound for the intriguing destination
of Trinidad. And on their very first
morning on deck, they both saw 'a
tall, dark young man standing at
the rail, gazing moodily out to sea.
Nedra’s heart almost stopped.
She clutched Gramma’s arm and
drew her around to the other side
so quickly that she almost lost her
to bring these two stubborn kids to
gether would come to nothing at all
It looked plain enough that Johi
and Nedra had no intention what
ever of making ujfc their quarrel...

teaming at the ship as if possessed
of the fury of a thousand devils.
Nedra dressed hurriedly, wenl
into Gramma’s room to find hei
also dressed, as early as it was.
“Is it a hurricane?” Nedra asked
shakily.
“I don’t know, dear. I think I’D
just go and try to find out.”
“Don’t stay long. I’m beginning
to be frightened,” Nedra pleaded.
"I’ll be back in a jiffy. /There’s
nothing to worry about. At least
I think not.”
She’d hardly disappeared before
there was a loud knock on the door
and John came in. “Nedra
darling, I had to find you, I ha

“We were silly to think we could,” Nedra agreed softly.
breath. “Hey, what goes?” Gram
ma asked in Nedra’s own jargon.
“That was John,” Nedra ex
claimed breathlessly.
Gramma straightened her neat
black toque and got herself better
organized. Then Nedra’s voice
came suddenly accusingly, “And
you knew it all the time. You did
this on purpose.” She whirled
around angrily, "I’m going to my
cabin and I’m going to stay there.”
Nedra kept her word. She stayed
in all day, even though after she’d
had her dinner, Gramma reminded
her that there was nothing on earth
more beautiful than a moonlit eve
ning at sea.
"What do I care about a silly old
moon,” Nedra retorted in a voiqe
that shook with tears.
I T SEEMED a stalemate, so Gram
ma went on deck alone and soon
found John, his boyish face looking
tired and drawn even in the semi
light. Gramma slipped into the
chair beside him, and he said un-
happly, “Look here. Gramma, a
man can’t go a thousand miles
away, more or less, to forget a
girl and stay on the same boat
with her all the way.”
“Why don’t you two youngsters
make up?”
“We decided that if we quarreled
before marriage, we’d do the same
thing afterward. We’re trying to be
logical and modern but . . his
voice trailed away sadly.
“Well, someday you’ll meet an
other girl,” Gramma said lightly.
“That’ll never happen . . . never.
Don’t even mention a thing like
that.” John’s voice was hoarse
with pain.
But just the same, it lobked more
and more as if Gramma’s plotting

H STAND before a jeweler’s plate glass pane: I
That crystal-dear conductor of the light.
I watch the sunshine pierce the gorgeous stain
Of rare gems dustered there before my sight
Crimson and purple fires banked in gold.
And ice-white diamonds splintering the air,
Deep fires of brilliant beauty to behold
Displayed for any who may pass them there.
The next moment he had her in
his arms. “And I still love you,
John. The moment I knew the ship
was in danger, I thought of you.”
Nedra’s voice was a happy whisper.
He bent his head and tilted her
chin, “Which only goes to prove,
dearest, that love is something that
escapes all logic and reason and
analysis. We can’t argue ourselves
out of it just on the pretense of
being realistic.”
“We were silly to think we could,”
Nedra agreed softly.
“The only reason we quarreled,”
John went on, “was because of my
absurd jealousy, because I love you
so very much.”
“No,” Nedra contradicted ador
ingly, “it was my bad temper.”
John shook his head quickly.
“You have the temper of an angel,
and we’ll never, never quarrel again
in the future . . . if . . . there is a
future left to us,” he finished brave
ly.
Neither of them was aware that
the wind had ceased its wild roar
and the deceitful sea had suddenly
become as calm and benign as a
summer day.
Still holding each other in a close
embrace, they hardly heard Gram
ma when she came back and saw
them together. “Just a squall,” she
murmured softly as she went into
her own stateroom, a happy smile
wreathing itself around her lips.

BE-KIND-TO-NYLONS WEEK
Now, that your longer skirts and
petticoats have forced you out of
socks and saddles
and into nylons and
heels, we’re declar
ing a “be-kind-to-
nylons” week. We
appealed to our hi
style scouts for
ideas on nylon pres
ervation and they’ve
come through as
usual with flying
colors — also with
fewer runs. If nylons are one of
your economic problems you might
want to try out their ideas.
Preventative Measures—No more
snags and runs from rough desk and
chair edges in school, if you take a
piece of sandpaper along with you
and do a competent smoothing down
job. Then the only disaster you need
fear when you get up to go to the
blackboard is not knowing the right
answers.
First-Aid Equipment—Carry col
orless nail polish with you wherev
er you go to stop those runs in their
tracks. Use bright red nail polish to
identify your stockings with your
initials at 0he tops to avoid con
fusion with other nylons in the fam
ily. Nail polish is good for the nails,
too—in case you forget.
Proven Precautions—Wash your
new nylons before you wear them
and wash after each wearing. One
teen tells us a pinch of salt in the
first rinsing strengthens the fibres.
We only have her word for it. Don’t
hang them over the radiator to dry.
If your nails and hands are rough,
put on a pair of cotton gloves be
fore handling your nylons.

Truth Set to Music
Lesson for November 21, 1948
Dr. Foreman
««'T'HE opposite of poetry is not
A prose; it is science.” There
were poets in the world long before
there were scientists, but that does
not prove that poets
are out of date.
Many people in our
modem world think
we could not get
along without sci
ence but could well
burn all the books
of poetry. If we
did, it would be a
dreadful mistake.
Poet and scientist
each has his truth
to see and to speak. We need them
both. Certainly if we tried to burn
all the poems we should have to
destroy some of the best-loved parts
of the Bible.

Not All Poets Have Long Hair
S OME “practical” people sniff at
poets for being peculiar. “Long-
hairs” is a slang name for them as
for other people who know some
thing besides arithmetic.
As a matter of fact, many poets
are very practical people them
selves; engineers, farmers and sol
diers all have written poetry. The
poets of the Bible are of many sorts.
If you will look into an edition of
the Bible in which the poetic sec
tions are printed as poetry is print
ed in other books, you will be im
pressed by the very large propor
tion of poetry, especially in the Old
Testament. The new Study Bible
or the American Revised Version or
Moffatt’s translation will show this
at a glance.
These Bible poems are of va
rious kinds. Some are war-
songs (Judges 5),some are prov
erbs (the book of Proverbs),
drama (Job), love-songs (the
Song of Songs), odes (Isaiah 40),
prayers (Psalm 16), hymns for
public worship (the Psalms).
The writers were never profes
sional poets, so far as we know. Of
the poems which are this week’s
lesson Scripture, two were written
by housewives, one by a sheep-herd
er, one or more by a soldier-king,
one by a preacher (Habakkuk), and
only one (Lamentations) possibly by
a professional poet. The original
Hebrew book of Lamentations does
not claim Jeremiah for its author;
but if he was the writer, then it was
written by the most practical man
of his time.

World’s Greatest Hymn Book
*‘T ET me write a nation’s songs,
k-F and I care not who writes their
laws,” said a famous man. The
same thing can be said about re
ligion. “Let me write a church’s
hymnbook, and I care not who
writes their ‘theologies.’’
The hymns our mothers loved, the
hymns we heard before we heprd
any other kind of poetry, the hymns
that we have learned by heart and
that become a part of our minds—
these mean far more to most peo
ple than all the printed creeds.
Now the Christian religion is
a singing religion. Our very
fii%t hymnbook was the Book
of Psalms, and all the hymnals
since, down to the present day,
grew out of this one book in the
Bible. It is the greatest hymn
book in the world; not the long- -
est nor the oldest, bnt the great
est in its influence for good upon
mankind.
• • •
Poetry Was in Jesus Blood
/"~\F OUR Lord Jesus himself, it
truly can be said, poetry was
in his veins. He came of a poetic
family. His most famous ancestor,
David, was a poet; another royal
ancestor, Hezekiah, wrote poetry.
The book he knew best, the Old
Testament, war full of poetry. His
own mother Mary, before he was
born, sang a song of her own mak
ing. so beautiful that it is still sung
in Christian churches and loved the
world around.
When Jesus died on the cross,
two of the last seven sentences
that came from his Ups were
quotations from the Psalms. The
poetry of his people was in his
blood, for in his last agony the
words that came from his break
ing heart were words first spok
en by the poets of the Bible long
ago.
So it is always. “Truth in song
will tarry long.” Today and al
ways. the parts of the Bible which
are most cherished, the parts most
often learned by heart, the parts
which we carry with us to the val
ley of the shadow of death, are the
truths set to music, long centuries
ago, by inspired men who knew
how to clothe truth with garments
of shining and immortal loveliness.
