had added: "Want to know what
I did with that check you gave me
a long time ago?”
"Didn’t ask you, did I?”
But she had told him. "Took out
a membership in the Mayfair Hunt
Club. Everyone I know is in it.”
He had approved of th* new
clothes and he got considerable
satisfaction trom her bringing the
bills to him; it paid oft young Ar-
den some for his high-and-nnghty
attitude, when he married Diane.
He was glad she'd joined that club.
She liked horses, he knew. He ?.ad
said to Paula that night. “Diane's
coming along in fine shape.”
But now he was acutely con-
cerned.‘“If It gets me—out.” She’d
meant something, when she said
that. Her animation, her tearing
’round from one thing to another,
was a front she put on and maybe
there was more behind it than
losing the baby. He sighed deeply.
Even though he was her father,
he was helpless to reach it.
Danny Carver found himself as
helpless that evening. There was
an informal dance at the Hunt
Club_and he had driven Diane out
to it. They had been dancing to-
gether, then had gone out and
down the steps to the wide sloping
lawn, away from the house. His
arm lay around her shoulders as
they, sauntered along, and in a
shadow of a tree he drew her
closer and kissed her. He'd done it
very well, he considered.
“Don’t, Danny.”

Miguel Abadia Mendez, former president of Colombia, has just ’
died at 80. ‘
’ These two apparently unrelated news items have this in !
common. Both are scholarly men Nitti was a former profes-
sor of finance, and Mendez was the author of several books on
Colombian history. Neither was unusual in this respect. Both
Europe and Latin America do not hesitate to draw on their
professors and scholars for governmental posts, even the chief
offices of State.
The United States, on the other hand, distrusts men of
this type as “impractical.” Yet Woodrow Wilson’s idea« on the
League of Nations proved far sounder than those of his “prac-
t tical opponents,” who landed us in a second and bigger war.

A good many people will understand what Former Presi-
• dent Hoover meant when he said that one of the very few!
times a President of the United States can be sure of any priv-
r-. acy is when he goes fishing. Mr. Hoover, who knows what he )
is talking about in this instance, added: “the pneumatic ham-

"If it’s the money. Dad—”
He breathed more easily; here
was something he could put his
hand to. "I’ll deposi e five hundred
for you in the bank, first of every
month. Begin today. You can have
all of that you want!” He smiled
broadly. “Your dad’s on the way
to being the richest man thia town
ever knew!”
Diane slipped off the desk,
smoothed her skirt down over'her
slim hips, blew a kiss to him from
the tips of her fingers. "Well, you
keep your mind on that. Joe, and
forget me! I can take care of my-
self very well!”
He stared gloomily at the closed
door long after Diane had run out
through it. He muttered again: “I
don’t like it.”
He had been relieved and proud
at the courage she’d shown when
the baby died. Not a tear, that
anyone could see. Head up, all the
time. She'd packed awav the

This goes for people less burdened than
these United States. While few citizens have anything like the»
troubles that beset a chief executive, they have their own j
k problems that are real and exhausting to them. There is I
something about fishing that gives strength and poise for re-
newed attack on life. It doesn’t all come from that experience,
glorious as indeed it is, of hauling a protesting, gleaming fish
’ out of the water on the end of a bending pole. The sport of
fishing can be followed for the most part only in quiet places,
in the open, away from the rush and turmoil of cities and of-
fices. There’s something too, about the water itself which is
•oothing. And then there is the open sky above, the healing
‘ panorama of nature- Which reminds us, it’s time to get those I

Amateur Plays
Of all avocations, none offers more real recreation for
participants than good amateur theatricals. Summer is the
blossoming time for many community theaters. These range
all the way from backyard shows by vacationing school chil-
dren to ambitious civic repertoire companies.
In Virginia the Newport News Operatic Society, formed
12 years ago, has .reached the point where it can stage such
works as Bizet’s Carmen. The only out of town participant in
a recent production was the tenor role of Don Jose, taken by
an insurance man from Richmond. Carmen was sung by a
young woman chiropractor, and Escamillo was a lieutenant- I
colonel from the air force. The eighty-person chorus included
local druggists, artists, housewives, nurses, school teachers,
draftsmen and business executives.
For all who take part in such performances, “the play’s ‘
the thing” and everybody forgets himself in trying to make ' -
it a success. Out of mind for the time being are homekeeping where

civilization began. Everyone has heard of Pocahontas
Captain John Smith, but not so many of John Rolfe, Poca-

* - John Rolfe’s great achievement, according to Paul Green,
£ Carolina playwright, who spoke at the commemoration exer-
cises, was that he got the colonists to work. Many had been
i dreaming of finding the gold of Eldorado in their new settle-
k ment, and were nearing starvation. Not only did Rolfe start
them to farm, but in 1612 he perfected a process for curing
tobacco, the crop on which Virginia’s prosperity long depend-

“Di, here you are! Jimmie Ma-
son wants to meet you!” Her tone
said: “Y’ou know who he is!”
Diane knew, as did every other
young woman in the club. The
Meadowbrook polo player, golfer,
yachtsman. Thad Corning had met
him the summer before at Del
Monte and he was staying now at
tlie Hunt Club, as Thad's guest.
He’d come in his own plane, made
a daring landing in one of the
meadows nearby; the plane was
out there now.
“Dance?” he said to Diane, lift-
ing a tweeded shoulder toward the
room where the orchestra was
playing. And without a word to
Danny she moved away with him.
Lois murnwreck “Nice break for
Di!”
"What d’yc.u mean, a break.”
"Oh, don't look so sour. Danny!

"You make me sick,” said Danny
and turned abruptly away from
her. Which was all he knew to do,
to help Diane.
Jimmie Mason was murmuring
against Dibne’s hair: "Know I've
been waiting for this since

Diane sw< pt starry eyes up to
him. Show him you know all the
answers! Drir.'i of the moment's

the thing, he realized, to te-U a girl
