Mrs. Hallerton made a trip all the way from Texas to England to purchase silver which she had been told by a friend was sell ing at bargain prices, that is, sec ond-hand silver. Mrs. Hallerton knew that being second-hand in no way detracted from the value of the silver, so she made her ptfi> chases, one of which was a silver tea service for her daughter in New York City. The goods were shipped direct to the daughter as a Christmas present, and Mrs. Hallerton thought the transaction ended there.

The beverage pf moderation r k p h S AMUEL JOHNSON (or wa« It some angler's wife?) once said: “Fishing is a stick and a piece of string with a fish at one end and a fool at the other.” Obviously Mr. Johnson never had enough experience to be able to thread a worm on a fishhook in such a way as to give head and tail, or vice versa, equal freedom of movement. And, if by any stretch of the imagination there is a tinge of truth in Mr. John son’s statement, then millions of Americans today are making a part-time career out of the busi ness of making fools of them selves. You can call fishing a sport, diversion, or a waste of time— if you belong to Mr. J’s school of thought. Call It what you will, yet no student of the situation can deny that it is the most uni versal and diversified of all sport ing activities. There’s a type of fishing scaled to every purse and appetite—from the small boy, oft- pictured with bent pin, wrapping twine and twisted stick, to the business tycoon who skippers a yacht rigged for tarpon and sail- flsh. It costs no more than a man is able or willing to ,pay. A few cents will buy hooks and line, the nearest canebreak provides a pole. As for bait, there’s a wasp nesl in the tree by the creek; the fields are full of grasshoppers; and the river bottoms alive with worms. And, they’re all for free. Fishing a fool’s occupation? Hardly so. Fishing is the sport of contemplation; the true fisherman a master of the art of relaxation. He leaves his troubles at home oi in the office every time he reaches for his fishing rod. And in this hurried, harried world, we in today, relaxation la a luxurj cheap at any price. 3P— — — BIRTH OF FATHER By Fran Pachter M ARK haunted the hospital spending every second he could spare from business to be near his wife Cynthia. The event of one’s first born is always hard to bear and Mark had reason to suffer more severe mental agony than most fathers for he had not wanted the baby and Cynthia had known it. He had argued that they had a perfect * life and a baby would spoil it. Cynthia had kept the news from him as long as she dared but her changing figure and extreme tiredness had forced confession. He had raged and stormed, blaming her for this intrusion on their privacy. Her white face rose before him, now hanntingly pitiful in silent protest, lacking the vigor to with stand his accusations. That had been but a month ago but in that short time they had lost one an other completely. He had stub bornly refused to make any move toward reconciliation and she had encased her feelings in a shell of solitude. He knew that she wept silently, confided in no one. .Mark had not faced up to the eminent role of fatherhood until he had entered the fathers sanc tuary of the hospitaL He had ar rived more annoyed over being called from a meeting than fright ened over the reason for the calL T.iirtonlng to the others soon to be fathers had forced upon him rev elation that a baby was something special His anger dissipated as the hours passed and he learned that the baby would be prema ture. The fact that Cynthia was on the critical list had turned anger into anxiety. Leafing through a magazine he noted an article on preemies. That was what his baby would be. He read avidly engrossed with the new knowledge that was to be of in terest to him. How tiny they were! Tiny and very helpless. Why a baby that small would fit the palm of his hand. Sweat stood out on his forehead as he realized for the first time that birth was a significant wonderful thing, miraculous in its magnitude. Vivid descriptions of the ordeals of pregnancy caused Mark to fed a deathly sickness accompanied by shame take hold of him. Cyn thia had weathered this alone. A nurse came toward him and fear gripped him. Her expres sion indicated bad news for some one. Mark breathed a prayer, God, don’t let her be looking for me. He felt with certainty that she bore the news that Cynthia and the baby were dead. The thought held him immovable and he gripped the chair as he awaited her words. “Mr. Blake, the doctor wishes to see you.” Mark emitted a sigh of relief. He wasn’t Mr. Blake. He was Mark Weldon. It was the man sit ting next to him who rose and unsteadily followed the nurse out of the room. Tension hung heavy in the room after he left and Mark hid his hands iif his face his own inner torment temporarily eased. “Mr. Weldon!” A nurse nudged him. “You may see your wife now. You have a new son.” The words refused to penetrate for a moment and it was not un til Mark found himself at Cyn thia’s bedside and saw that she was all right that he felt his crisis was really over. He knelt beside her, oblivious of the nurse nearby, and whispered low, “Can you ever forgive me?” “Are you still angry?” she asked. “Angry!” Mark cradled her in' his arms and said, “I’m the proudest and most humble man in this hospitaL” The nurse left the room mut tering to herself, “You just can’t ever predict the reaction of a new father.” Grow more COTTON per acre!
