possible to over-indulge a child.
In the latter case, the child can

happen to a population or parts

rant golf balls are an "inherent, on|y the bare
of hla peraonal fortune If they
had known how much money
he had when he arrived, there
would have been considerable
speculation as to why he ar-
rived at all, since Belle City
was hardly the first place that
would spring to mind as ideal
for enjoying a fortune already
in hand.
So Alice drove a modest bug-
gy. not aa grand aa Mattie
Shaw’s carriage, dignified
enough for a banker's wife yet
not seeming to lord It over the
more numerous spring wagons.
The day was unseasonably
warm for January, though Alice
considered It cold, and was
warmly swathed in a sealskin
cloak and muff, with a buffalo
robe tucked about her. It waa
hard to see into the bank, with
the sun shining on the glass,
but presently she perceived a
flicker behind the window and
waved at It In * moment
George came out,
“I’ll come In with you and
keep you warm.” He slid in un-
der the buffalo robe and tucked
it around both ot them.
‘1 nope Miss Perkins won’t
think we’re too uncivilized,"
Alice said, “here in this be-
nighted. heathen outpost of the
Bad Place "
After a moment George said,
"Is it that bad ? We could move
to San Francisco. 1 don't want
you to feel sorry, ever—"
“Oh. bush. George Bailey. I
was only Joking. Besides, some-
one we know would be sure to
turn op in San Francisco."
“Here's Mrs. Higgins behin J
us,” George saiu.
Alice turned. “Good after-
noon. Mrs. Higgins.''
Mra Higgins nodded stiffly
from ber surrey, at the same
time putting out an authorita-
tive hand to prevent Chanty
and Deborah from getting down
and mixing with the riffraff
“Afternoon, Alice. George,"
Mattie Shaw said. Mattie was
a big woman, rawboned, weath-
ered. and muscular. She wore
clothes of costly materials, and
strode about in them like a
man- She had helped Zcb Shaw
prospect for gold, before he
struck It rich, and knew she
couldn't get away with pretend-
ing she'd been bom with a
silver spoon tn her mouth, so
she didn't try.

Alice said. “I’ll walk across ana

Alice and Mattie crossed the
street. Joining the stream of
people converging on the coach.
Luke was already there, hand-
ing down the new schoolteacher.
She was so stiff she at~ -"d

and her whole face w

was covered with dust.
“Don’t envy her that stage

“Only time X was ever on ->e

“Well, at least she had the

"There don’t seem to be any

man who was sitting with the

“Fulla mail," Mattie said. “No

Alice hurried up to the new
arrival “Miss Perkins ? I'm
Mra Bailey. We certainly are
glad to see you. I hope you had
a pleasant trip.”
The new schoolteacher put
back her veil, shaking dust from
it, and Alice couldn’t repress a
quick gasp, the lace that looked
out at her was so exhausted,
60 strained. The Light gray eyes
that looked at ber were lus-
terless, almost blank with fa-
tigue. and dark circles under
them showed up even under the
coating of dust. She smiled,
faintly.
“How do you do?"
Mrs. Higgins plowed her way

A genuine Harlem hero, however, Is Nip«*y
Russell, the man who was telling back-of-tV-
bus stories long before Dick Gregory decided
to go that route. These nights Nipsey ts co-host of the "Night-
life’* show on television with Les Crane, the handsome gent who
rubs everyone the wrong wav. and Harlem rouldn't he happier.
The folks who remember him from the Baby Grand days ar*
delighted that Nipsey is making it large.
Likely, his high stature uptown is because, as he puts it,
"there are no messages In my social protestations. If the social
evolution leads to jokes, I use them. I have no political con-
victions. If I’m booked to play a political party's affair. I’ll use
jokes about the group I'm not working foe that evening." By
contrast, Gregory, who ncidulously puts the zing to- the po
White trash, isn’t nearly so popular In Harlem 11s Nipsey. He is
too bitter; uptowners, despite the crosses they have borne, are
not naturally bitter people.

and promptly move to Westchester or Central Park South, Nip-
sey still Is a familiar figure In Harlem; for one thing, he drives
a motor scooter and any day you might see him giving rides to
neighborhood children. He was an English major at the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati, he became a captain in the army during
World War II, he reads Keats and Shelley, he speaks French—
and yet he still likes to loaf on an uptown street corner and talk
with the hangers-on about Sonny Liston’s "light'’ with Clay.
Nipsey, an Atlantan, wsb In & 12-chlldren dancing chorus as a
Jdd, with jazz pianist Eddie Heywood’s father directing it. More
and more he became the funny kid in the group, however, and
later, when he left the army, he went in for show business. Billy
Eckstine gave him an early boost, using him on his touring bill,
and In 1951 he holed up at the Baby Grand, the Harlem night-
stop, and worked there endlessly, sometimes as often as ten
months a year.
A benefit for Martin Luther King’s cause in Carnegie Hall
around five years ago gave him his biggest boost. Sammy Davis
asked Nipsey to m.c. half the program —■ and he was so in-
stantaneously successful that soon he was working the "To-
night” how on TV and he was on hi3 way.

he was a touching performer opposite Hazel Scott in “Tam-
bourine to Glory” on the strawhat circuit Oddly, he has the
knack of keeping audiences from laughing when he does some-
thing serious. “When you put your soul into the part," Nip re-
marks, “you just can’t joke with a long face.”
