At first, Edith could only make out blurred im ages, the impersonal dresser across from the foot of her high, white bed. and the fuzzy, pinkish- green blur of the Roses Joe had brought for her. ^ Joe was in the room too. She wouldn’t see him, but she knew oe was there, sitting in the hard wooden chair beside her v bed. Dear Joe, sober and silent, watch ing her with hurt, pleading eyes. She wanted to reassure him, to tell him that she was sD right, but the lethargy of anesthesia held her captive in its silent prison. The operation was over. She was aware of bulky bandages and tight adhesive tape. And somewhere deep inside, her body was scream ing in agony, but medical science had muted the tortured protest, shutting it away from her coo- ck>us mind with drugs, so that she heard it only vaguely, and without concern. Joe’s lean fingers edged across the plain, white bedspread to clasp her cold hand. If she opened her eyes, she could see his anx ious face. She could see his face even if she didn’t open her eyes. Her sophisticated friends never understood why she married Joe, and she couldn’t explain to them, because she wasn’t quite sure herself. Edith ArvelL, glamorous, talented actress, married to a rancher. A dull, slow-witted ex cowboy. At first she said she married him for his money, and for the security It promised. She wasn’t getting any younger, and all too often, fame tarnishes with time. In her heart of hearts, Edith knew that money was not all that bound her to Joe . . . But what else was there? Joe was so humble and unso phisticated. Sometimes Edith thought that was the most trying part of their relationship. Her many and varied interests in com bat with his lack of general knowledge. She once told her friends that she and Joe hadn’t shared an intelligent conversation in the entire two years of their marriage. But with Joe, she didn’t really need conversation, the deep, im portant things between them were beyond words anyway. Why had it taken her so long to realize that? When Edith opened her eyes again sunlight was pouring across her bed, and she didn’t recognize the blinding white hospital world, with it’s heavy, antiseptic and ether air. Finally, her eyes found a familiar, big-knuckled hand closed protectively around her own pale fingers, and memory came back to her. She was in the hospital, and Joe was still sitting there on the hard white chair beside her bed. The huge diamond engagement ring he had bought for her sparkled in the sunlight, or was it the tears in her eyes that gave the effect of shattered light? She knew at last, why she loved Joe, and the knowledge was as brilliant as the ring on her finger. Sh^ had been a fool, thinking she loved Joe in spite of his flaws, when all the time she loved him BECAUSE of them! His lack of cultural perfection was the pre cious flaw that magnified and made radiant the illusion of her own perfection! “You all right, Eddie?- He bent ovef her anxiously. His clothes were wrinkled and untidy, and his face was haggard from the long vigil at her bedside. She smiled and nodded weakly. “And Joe,” Edith carressed his cheek with gentle fingers, “I lavs you.” x His tired face seemed to glow with new vigor, and again sh«, was reminded of the diamond For as a diamond is dull without light, so is a man without s woman’s love to illumine the many facets of his life.

I’d ?o with my mother to visit neigh- oors and they’d have big glass Dowls with lids oil the top, filled .vith pink and white candy. There '•ere big pieces in the shape of ?*ars and watches with lots of )the- shapes, a paper was pasted the too of each piece. The vstch was covered with a paper jea-ing numerals and hands. It ■va* always my secret ambition to nibble on some of this candy, but [ never accomplished it. I never \?rew of anyone ofTeririg any. They must have been kept just for looks. Wonder what became of them? Then there was penny candy tha‘ was better than the kind offered today. There were pink ad white “Foxey Grandpa’s” chocolate marshmallow bears and blocks made of layers of dif ferent colors and stick candy of all flavors. The cake was nicer, too. It was lacy, with caraway seeds in the center of each tiny piece and now and then a silver ball. We’d get a small cup of it for a penny. The sugar is just as sweet and good nowdays as it was then. Why can’t they give the kids a better break? * * + From Mrs. Zelda P. Leonard, Bainbridge, New York: I remem ber when I was eight and we lived in Caribou, Maine. My uncle, publisher of the county newspa per, had the only automobile in town. It had no top and the floor boards in front were always “a sea of grease,” but my sister and I felt entitled to “put on air” on the occasions when we were taken for a ride.

V AT BY HELEN HALE I F it sometimes seems a little difficult to get all the water out of spinach, cube a slice or two of bread, saute in butter and mix with the spinach. It makes this vegetable even more tasty.. Blend together some soured cream, horseradish and prepared mustard if you want a • special sauce to serve with ham or pork chops. Stuffed peppers are delicious at any time, but when you add some nutmeats to the mixture inside them, you’ll be serving a wonder ful gurprise.

BY JOHN end JANE STRICKLAND 1 • '■$ Today's Problem: A feeling of Inadequacy. H AROLD KENTNER, 200 White Park Road, Ithaca, New York, says he thought his prob lem unusual, but aftes talking it over with friends and acquaint ances,* he finds that it is rather common. It was during the depression of the early ’30’s, and many men were laid off. Harold had been with the firm but a few months and so he was much surprised when he was jumped, as he says, two or three paces beyond where he believed he belonged. He had not even been asked whether he wanted the promotion, but was merely called into the manager’s office and told where he was to work thereafter. He didn’t sleep much that night; if he didn’t make good on that job, he undoubtedly would be looking for another. The next day he worried as he worked; in fact, he worried so much that he didn’t get much work done. On the way home that after noon he passed an elderly colored man clearing a lot piled high with wood, and old junk which was to be sorted and the best placed in storage. He knew this old man well, so he stopped and had a few words with him. When he went on his way, there came to his mind a remark of the old man, which, says Harold Kentner,/com pletely revolutionized his tfiink- ing and resulted in his not only doing a good job but shortly in getting a considerable advance in salary. Here is the sentence: In answer to his question as to how space could be found for all he had to take care of, the old man said, “Well, you see. Sir, I don’t haf’ to do it all in one day. So I jes’ takes care of what I can every day, an’ I always finds that one day 'always fixes toe up for the next day.” From then on, whenever Har old Kentner was disturbed about what lay ahead, he applied the old colored man’s logic. And it never has failed him. ' la '-pi Ef'j THE NEWBERRY SUN ■m Phone No. 1 1218 College St. Newberry, S. C
