7 f FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1953 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Make Bedrooms More Attractive With Plaids Use These Clan Tartans BY EDNA MILES T HE innovations in fashions for beds are many. One follows another and most of them not only make a bedroom look more attractive, but cut down on the actual task of bed-making. News in blankets includes word of a vicara-blend blanket In clan tartans. This is the first such to be made of vicara fiber blended with wool and rayon. The vicara is resistant to moths and mildew, cuts down on shrinkage and is nonirritating to sensitive skins, the makers of this blanket say. ’ It's a covering that’s both light and warm and it is priced under $10, The clan tartans are authentic. There are two: the Ramsay, which is predominantly red and black with white stripe, and the Sinclair Hunting, which is a dark green. The makers of this blanket have also developed a new fitted blanket, one with mitered corners at the foot. This makes bed making easier and the final result neater. It also provides for greater sleeping comfort. In summer weight, it’s made of 90 per cent cotton, 5 per cent nyon and 5 per cent wool. It comes in pastels, in both the full and ■-'-bed sizes. Both sizes are priced under $6. New in blankets is this first one made of blended Vicara fiber. Woven in authentic clan tartans, it is a perfect complement for an Early American room setting. Shown above is the Ramsay tartan, which is predominantly red and Mack, with a white stripe. This blanket also conies in the Sinclair Hunting, which is dark green. Play Ball W 1 ™ breathing down everyone’s neck, here’s how the experts pick them. Casey Stengel’s Yanks are favored to break all records by winning a fifth straight American League pennant. Cleveland will provide the toughest opposition. The Dodgers are still the choice of the National loop with the Giants. Philadelphia and St. Louis making strong bids. The experts report the major league benefited from nu merous player deals during the winter and from the fine rookie crop that will see action this year. They also add that the addition of Russ Meyer to the Dodgers’ pitch ing staff may be all the Dodgers need to become the first National repeaters since the Cards of 1942, 1943, and 1944. The Phils now have a long-ball hitter in Earl ToVgeson and may prove tough since they have such pitchers as Robin Rob erts, Curt Simmons and Karl Drews. m KINER JOINS PIRATES . . . Concluding his long contract argument with Branch Rickey, Ralph Kiner flew from his Palm Springs home to play with the Pittsburgh Pirates in Havana. Kiner’s pay reportedly will be about $75,000.

THE NEWBERRY SUN College St. Phone 1 S>- THE FORGOHEN YEARS By James Harsh G ERALD. was hesitant to start an argument with his wife; he hated to put a damper on her good spirits. Lately she had been purring and fussing like a gentle and affec tionate kitten. Too affectionate for her middle aged plumpness and grey eyes which matched her hair, Gerald Mann thought, as he laid down the paper and watched her adjust his reading lamp. Tonight he felt that he must talk to her about Kit. And he found it difficult to approach the subject with his wife in this contented mood. “Kit’s out again?” “Yes, with Hank Flowers.” Joyce smiled as if she approved of Hank. “That’s three nights in a row.” Gerald stood up and moved toward the window, looking through the blackness as if he might see his daughter swinging happily up the walk holding Hank’s hand. “So it’s young love, darling, but they’re never very late.” “She’s just seventeen,” countered Gerald. “I was eighteen when you mar ried me,” she said. “You were different. You seemed much older.” She placed a hand on his should er, speaking softly, “In those days we wore old clothes and fixed our hair in an old style. And we did old things. Remember my folk’s parlor and the times we took out the fam ily album and sat for hours laugh ing at the old pictures. Sometimes we laughed so loudly that my fa ther would shout down at us and tell you to go home so he could get some sleep.” “Kit’s too young to get married.” “I don’t like this Hank Flowers!” Gerald Mann spun around and fairly shouted at his wife. He was sorry as soon as the words were out and he slumped down into his chair. *Tm sorry,” he said at last. He closed his eyes and the almost forgotten years engulfed him. He pulled himself back to the present and noticed that Joyce had gone upstairs and he became aware of the unnatural silence in the usually merry room. His wife had gone to bed without saying good night. It was still early when Kit and Hank returned from the library. They came into the room, flushed with youth, laughing until they saw Mr. Mann sitting under the bright reading lamp. He turned and looked at Hank; then he stood and taking his paper he walked slowly up the stairs. A thin thread of light crawled out from beneath their bedroom door. “Why do you like Hank Flow ers?” he asked his wife bluntly. “Because he is so much like you when you came to ask me if we could be married when school was out.” Her voice was brittle. “But you’re not like that now. You have forgotten the boy you once were.” He felt her anger. He remained silent, which wasn’t his usual be havior. He was fully capable of matching her word for word and generally coming out on the long end of a verbal duel. But he had gone too far into the past tonight, and he was remembering the girl she used to be and the boy she said he had forgotten. Music float ed up the stairway, loud music, and the laughter of youth. For a moment he resented this interrup tion of his thoughts. He clenched his fist and stormed to the head of the stairs. He saw Kit ajid Hank sitting closely together on the couch. Their heads touching slight ly in the dimly lit room. “Kit!” The girl snapped off the radio and stood looking up at her father. Gerald did not speak for a mo ment. His anger vanished and he spoke softly to his daughter. “Just remember to lock the door when Hank goes out. Good night you two night owls.” Back in the bedroom he could still hear the music and the laugh ter. He smiled at his wife. “They’re looking at our family album now, dear. They're laughing at us now.” He was still smiling as he snapped off the light.
