We have the usual quota of cats and dogs, plus rabbits, pigeons, hamsters, and white mice. Those arent so bad, nor are occasional gophers and squirrels. But when we got 149 lizards and a four-fosnake, our neighbors took notice. Seven chipmunks which had little gold collars were cute, but our friends around the block raised their eyebrows at two rock chucks, weighing in at 20 pounds apiece. Perhaps my neighbors dont always recognize another thing about my back yard: I have two boys with fine minds and strong bodies. They have a keen interest in nature, and as long as they keep it they have my full permission to bring home anything from a field mouse to a buffalo.

As I watched some new neighbors moving recently, 1 saw one way to make it easier on the children if not downright fun! The family station wagon arrived first, piled high with the childrens clothes, dolls, small furniture, toys of all kinds. Each childs room had at least some of its familiar surroundings early in the day. It was a little extra work for the parents, but how wonderful for the children, who might have been unceremoniously dumped in a bare room out of the way during a frightening day of moving into a strange place. As I watched, the thoughtfulness of those parents made me ready to like them even before I met them. L. E. K., Springer, N. M.

And Rose Severns is old now with crimped gray hair and a pair of wise eyes. But A1 Jolson lives there and Eddie Cantor and the Drews and hundreds more like them. The ghosts of them haunt the old storehouse where the tarnished costumes are hung. They linger in the honeycomb of rooms and hover about the bulging scrapbooks and the autographed pictures. Rose Severns knew them all from the same stage or from the ten. twent, thirt of another. She knew them when she d and half of a vaudeville team was young and Lew and Rose. Rose's voice is husky with the strain of a thousand songs, a thousand straight lines for Lews routines. Its husky, too, with nostalgia and the poignant parade of the past. For Lew was Jewish and Rose was Christian and they eloped to defy tradition.

When they were too old for the road, they came home. They gave sanctuary to every grease-paitramp. They operated a booking agency and they rented costumes. And shrewd little Lew and Rose lived together in harmony and tender dissonance for more than 50 years. They played the big circuits and the little ones. Sometimes they were stars, sometimes only rounding out the bill. There were great nights and bad ones, fat purses and slim ones. And now Lew is one of the ghosts. But not to Rose, who lives alone in a bulging house. Not to Rose, who dreams awake among the mementoes and memories Not to Rose, who remembers all the faces and all the footlights and applause and retains still a spicy charm as permanent as an old playbill. Not to Rose, whose thoughts are full of Lew and will be until the day she follows him. Oh, the yellow curls he had, she says. My little man cd tona; director.
