Speak Italian whenever possible. Don't lose your temper. When plans fall down, improvise. . . ." That was the one he wanted. When plans fall down, improvise. The door opened. A man came in whose appearance was vaguely familiar to Major Joppolo. The Major Ma-jor realized later that he had seen, not this man, but several who looked just like him, in bad American movies. mov-ies. He was the type of the second-rate second-rate Italian gangster, the small fellow fel-low in the gang who always stood behind the boss and who always took the rap. He had the bald head, the "I could do a good job for you." weak mouth. He had a scar across his cheek. His eye was furtive and he had the appearance of being willing will-ing but in need of instructions. He said in English: "You pull up a flag. War's a finish here in Ada-no, Ada-no, huh?" The Major said: "Yes, who are you?" The Italian said: "I'm from a Cleveland, Ohio. I been here a three year. You got a work for me?" - Majqr Joppolo said: "What's your name?" The Italian said: "Eibaudo Giuseppe. Giu-seppe. In a Cleveland, call a me Joe." Major Joppolo said: "What can you do?" Ribaudo said: "I'm a good American. Amer-ican. I'm a hate these Fascisti. I could do a good job for you." Major Joppolo said: "If you're such a good American, why did you leave the States?" Kibaudo said: "I'm a kick out" "Why?" "I'm a no passport." "How'd you get in, then?" "I got a plenty friends in a Cleveland Cleve-land and a Buffalo." "What did you do in the States?" "Oh, I work a here, work a there." Major Joppolo was pleased with Ribaudo for not trying to lie about his illegal entry and repatriation. He said: "Okay, I'll hire you. You will be my interpreter." "You don't a speak Italian?" "Yes, but there'll be other Americans Ameri-cans here who don't, and I may need you for other things, too. Do you know these people well, do you know who's for us Americans and who's against us?" "Sure, a boss, I help a you plenty." plen-ty." "All right what did you say your name was?" "Ribaudo Giuseppe, just a Joe for you." "No, we're in Italy, I'll call you Giuseppe here. Just two things now, Giuseppe. You've got to be honest with me; if you're not you'll be in bad trouble. The other is, don't expect ex-pect me to do you any favors I wouldn't do for anyone else, see?" "Oh sure, a boss. You don't a worry." "Now tell me, what does this town need the most?" "I could a go for a movie house, a boss." "No, Giuseppe, I mean right now." "Food, a boss. Food is a bad now in Adano. Three days a lot a people no eat a nothing." "Why is that because of a shortage short-age of flour?" "No, everyone been a scared. Baker don't a work, nobody sell a pasta, water don't a come in a carts. That's all, a boss." "How many bakers are there in town?" But before Giuseppe could answer this question, there were two simultaneous simul-taneous knocks on the door, one strong, and one weak. "I open 'em up, a boss?" Giuseppe Giu-seppe was at least eager. a is jor. "Please, Giuseppe." Giuseppe hurried down the long room and opened the door. Two men almost tumbled in. Both were well dressed, and had.neckties on. One of them was quite old. The other was very fat and looked forty. They hurried down the room, and each seemed anxious not to let the other get ahead of him. The old one said in English, with careful British accent: "My name Cacopardo, at your service, Ma- l am eighty-two. I own most of the sulphurs in this place. Here Cacopardo is sulphur and sulphur is Cacopardo. I wish to give you advices ad-vices whenever you need of it" The fat one, who seemed annoyed with Cacopardo for speaking first, said in English: "Craxi, my name. I have a telegram." Major Joppolo said: "What can I do for you gentlemen?" Cacopardo said: "Advices." Craxi said: "Telegram." Cacopardo said: "The Americans coming to Italian countryside need some advices." The old man looked straight at Giuseppe the interpreter and added: "I wish to advise you to be careful, in Adano are many men who were illegal in America, some men too who were condemned to the electrical chair in Brooklyn of New York." Major Joppolo, seeing Giuseppe's embarrassment, said: "Giuseppe, I want to speak to the priest of the town. Will you get him for me?" Giuseppe said: "Which priest a boss?" Cacopardo said: "In Adano are thirteen churches, . Major, and in some, like San Angelo and San Se-bastiano, Se-bastiano, are two or three priests." Major Joppolo said: "Which church is best?" Cacopardo said: "In churches ought not to be good and bad, but San Angelo is best, because Father Pensovecchio is best of all." Major Joppolo said to Giuseppe: "Get him for me, will you?" "Yes, a boss," Giuseppe said, and left. . When he had left, Major Joppolo said to Cacopardo: "Is this Giuseppe fellow not to be trusted?" Cacopardo bowed and said: "I mention only the electrical chair, I am not one to name the names." Major Joppolo spoke sharply: "You said you came to advise me. I must know about this Giuseppe. Is he to be trusted or not?" The old man bowed again and said: "Giuseppe is a harmless one." The fat Craxi was growing very annoyed that Cacopardo was getting all the attention. He said: "I have a telegram. Please to deliver." Major Joppolo said: "This isn't a telegraph office. There's a war going go-ing on. Do you think we have nothing noth-ing better to do than deliver tele grams?" Craxi was apologetic. "I am anti-Fascist. anti-Fascist. I have a telegram. You are the one who can deliver it." And he pulled out from his pocket a piece of ruled paper, folded four ways and pinned shut with a safety pin. He handed the paper to the Major, who put it down on his desk, to the disappointment of Craxi. The Major said: "You say you've come to advise me. Then tell me, what does this town need the most right now?" Cacopardo said: "It needs a bell more than anything." Craxi said: "Foolishness, a bell. More than anything, to eat is necessary." neces-sary." , Cacopardo said: "The town needs its bell back. You can always eat." Craxi, who had been rather slighted slight-ed in the conversation anyhow, now became quite angry. "You can always al-ways eat you Cacopardo," he said. "You have a million lira, you sulphur. sul-phur. You can eat, but not all the people here can eat." And he turned to the Major: "To eat here is most necessary, more necessary than any bell." Cacopardo broke into furious Italian: Ital-ian: "Fat one, you think only of your stomach. , The spirit is more important than the stomach. The bell was of our spirit. It was of our history. It was hung on the tower by Pietro of Aragona. It was designed de-signed by the sculptor Lucio de Anj of Modica." Craxi said in Italian: "People who are very hungry have a ringing in their ears. They have no need of bells." Cacopardo said: "By this bell the people were warned of the invasion of Roberto King of Naples, and he was driven back." Craxi said: "People with malaria also have a ringing in their ears." Cacopardo said: "The bell warned the people when Admiral Targout brought his French and his Turks to this place in 1553 and burned many homes and churches, and all that was left in the Church of Our Mother Moth-er was the little silver crucifix which you will see now in the Church of San Angelo." The Major said in Italian: "We have no time for this recitaL I wish to know what things are press ing and must be taken care of at once." Craxi said: "I have spoken. Food is the first thing." Cacopardo said: "The bell must be taken care of at once. The bell did not warn us of this invasion, or we would have been in the streets with flowers to welcome you."

SEW IS G CIRCLE PATTERNS "Frederick was a school-teacher when first we were engaged, and as I had full responsibility for Mamma, who is bedridden, and his salary was small, we could not think of marriage then. He taught in a school 40 miles away, so that we only saw each other for weekends twice a month. After some years he decided to study law, which took much of his time; passed his bar examination just before the war and immediately went into officer's training camp. He now has a captaincy and is temporarily tem-porarily stationed here after 15 months overseas, and his desire is to be married at once. "Now, please don't think me a terrible old maid," the letter goes on, "but I just can't bear the idea of any change I never could. I love Frederick, I know I do, but the thought of a man in this little white house of ours is staggering. Mamma and I have grown used to certain ways; breakfast late on Sunday, no cards or liquor in the house, certain radio programs every ev-ery week, just a few dear old friends, mostly Mamma's, things in their right places, reading aloud. Also we have very light suppers, milk toast or waffles or a salad, which I serve on two trays in Mamma's room. "We would have to live here, as Mamma naturally dreads the thought of moving, and well, Fred FAMILIAR WAYS "This man wants a wife, not a dainty, timorous, mollusk of a woman tvho will expect him to dine off milk toast in an invalid's bedroom, tmoke in the back yard and enjoy the companionship of a few gossiping old ladies." By KATHLEEN NORRIS TOO many women are like oysters. When the oyster is young he is free and independent; he swims about in the ocean in a glory of independence. But as he gets older his shell gradually gradu-ally forms and hardens upon him, and finally he is trapped in it and can only cling a great deal and drift a little. Perhaps you are one of the women who have grown shells and are imprisoned im-prisoned in them? Perhaps it is you, yourself, who have shut away all changes and adventures, and closed yourself into a narrow groove from which there is no escape. It sounds to me as if Gertrude Day, who writes me from Buffalo, is one of these "oyster" women. Gertrude is 29, pretty, clever, successful suc-cessful as a big man's secretary, devoted to an invalid mother. Gertrude Ger-trude and her mother live in a pretty white cottage with a garden, just out of town. Engaged Seven Years. For seven years Gertrude has been engaged to be married. This seems to me a record for America; in Europe and in England girls think nothing of a five or six-year engagement, engage-ment, and in Sweden I met a sweet serene woman who was engaged to an engineer who had been 11 years in Argentina. But these are not American ways, and hence Gertrude Day's letter indicates to me that she is fast on the way to becoming an oyster. To some women the most dreaded thing is change. They have their little ways and routines, rou-tines, their friends and their associations, and they want to keep the pattern intact. It isn't always that they are so fond of the little scheme of things that they have developed devel-oped ; it is just that they are accustomed to it, and are comfortable com-fortable in a sort of dull tvay. One such woman asks Miss Norris for advice in this issue. Gertrude is 29, pretty, and a successful secretary. For the last seven years she has been engaged to an ambitious, well educated man, who is now a captain in the army. He wants to get married, now that he can afford it. Gertrude, however, how-ever, is so tied up with her invalid in-valid mother that she cannot bear to think of any adjustments. adjust-ments. She wants her husband to do all the altering, yet she knows in her heart that she is asking the impossible. Bolero Top Favorite This Year A Complete Wardrobe for Baby "Gossiping old ladies.

He likes hearty, food; he actually suggested sug-gested to me that we move Mamma to the third bedroom, off the kitchen, where she would have her own bath and be further away from us. This I will not even suggest to her. Fears Change. "In short," the letter concludes, "I am afraid I do not want to make the concessions he seems to take for granted. And yet I love and admire Frederick, and know that he has an honorable and successful career ahead of him. But I am so happy as I am that I fear to change present pres-ent circumstances for the untried. On the other hand, Mamma has not long to live, in a year or two at most they tell me, or at any moment, she may leave me, and contemplating the utter desolation of that event I feel what a comfort Fred's kindness would be. How can I gently influence him to fit his ways to mine, since I am so con stituted that change is actual suffer ing to me?" My dear Gertrude, I say in an swer, you can't. And it would only be cruelty to try. This man wants a wife, a woman of an adaptable, imaginative, enthusiastic type, of mind who will plan with him for a wider future, not a dainty, tim orous, tnollusk of a woman who will expect him to dine off milk toast in an invalid's bedroom, smoke in the back yard, and enjoy the companionship compan-ionship of a few gossiping old ladies. You are too deeply encased in your shell ever to emerge into normal wifehood, and I wouldn't try. Just go as you are, and when Mamma dies try to get some other elderly woman to come and live with you, to keep the rugs and lamps and the teapot and the parrot-stand just where they belong. Give Fred a generous and wholehearted whole-hearted dismissal He'd wreck your little Dresden statue scheme if he married you. It will be a great relief re-lief to you to feel, "Well, that's over!" and it will free him to find some other woman, a woman who likes househunting and loves her man, and bears him children, and faces the daily ups and downs, the disappointments and triumphs, scares and glories, responsibilities and rewards, that make up married life.

Pattern No Size Name Address Eye Strain The causes of eye strain are unquestionably un-questionably of muscular rather than retinal origin and may be attributed at-tributed to such things as insufficient insuffi-cient level of illumination, glare, prolonged convergence of the eyes, distractions due to bright areas on the boundaries of vision, continual pupillary adjustments, severe adaptive adap-tive changes from light to dark, wrong contrasts between work and surrounding areas. Maple Tree Fifteen gallons of sap is a good average production per maple tree. Forty gallons of sap, or the yield from about three trees, is necessary to produce one gallon of syrup. Maple Ma-ple sugar is obtained by further boiling boil-ing the syrup; one gallon of syrup yields eight pounds of sugar. Sugar maple sap yields twice as much as soft maple. High Crop Yields Production of high crop yields is usually tlcciated with the use of manure, lime and fertilizers, but removal re-moval of water from the soil, proper kind and depth of plowing, suitable seedbed preparation, time and depth of cultivation of crops, also have an important bearing on the yields produced pro-duced by many crops. Thin Fillets Thin fillets are delicious when' rolled in egg and crumbs and then cooked in deep fat. Use the same method as for frying oysters and shrimp. For a special taste treat try serving a combination of fried oysters and fried shrimp with plenty of good chili sauce.
