Arnold Spring Byington Donald We waved good-b- y to the fleet Meek and many others and went back to the house When we got there Mrs Fox was on the porch wringing her hands and crying “Dolly Dolly" she" screamed “Run for Dr Brown Something has happened to Mrs Sellers We were watching the fleet sail from the balcony Just as the last ship disappearedshe picked up a chocolate ate it and toppled over I can’t bring her to I think she’s dead" Her voice rose in a crescendo of hysteria Mother turned and ran down the walk Mrs Fox sent me down to the Casino to get Blackie Mrs Sellers’ husband He ran a card game d there He was a black-eye- d morose sleek man with a mean twist to his flashing smile I wondered as I ran what could Mrs Sellers had have happened been all right that morning She had been all right the night before last too when she had come to our apartment She had come late in the evening about 11 after Donald and Dot and I had gone to bed as she often did when Blackie was down at the' Casino and had sat talking to mother in the kitchenette She wakened me Dot and I were sleeping on the couch in the dining room as Donald had our tjedroom I lay half drowsy listening to the murmur of their voices “I saw your sailor boy with the little girls today” Mrs Sellers said "He seems very young to be in the navy” Heri voice was sort of shaky as if she were about to cry “He is young” mother replied "but one of the sweetest youngsters I ever knew so brave and levelheaded and just sweet He’s' had an awful life"- - They went on talkMrs Sellers asked a million ing What was his name? questions Where did he come from? Where were his people? Mother kept answering her and pretty soon she had told Mrs Sellers everything that Donald had told her about himself Mrs Sellers kept getting whiter and whiter and putting her hand to her head as if it ached I could see her through the crack in the door When mother came to the part about Donald’s sister Mrs Sellers gasped and then mumbled something about a stitch in her side She looked ill yet not so much ill as scared and disgusted the way a person feels when they see a dead snake VISIT DINWOODEY’S e I Editor's Criticism Here is a good story which could have been immensely helped by correct telling We have here a story told by a woman anywhere from 17 to 70 years of age about an occurrence which took place when she was nine years old sees and unThis age in very well chosen for a derstands a lotk BUT a child of that age would have put fit in childish dictionand would have used childish figures of speech for although icnrly- - along in knowledge of the various hidden has not put away childish things phases of limTa especially in speech For this reason a great deal of the telling is indefensible such as “kisses seemed so hungry so savage so devouring” “irked me by its stiffness” “sky was “like a lonesome puppy in a warm basket" It would have been better if these bad been made more childish even in the mouth of the woman who was this child A still better thing would have been to let this child tell this story at 10 years old and have made it more ehildish It adds great piquancy to a story to hear a child relate and fumble at things which it does not understand weekly or monthly basis Commode 1 Cocktail Table (solid mahogany) 975 Lyre Table 1595 Tier Table 1193 Lamp Table T Bookcase ri!5Uli:ill 193 975 1593 K nine-year-o- ld nine-year-o- ld have f IflrrT isril V Hr J 4’ sriff4 h 'aTi j ’4 !!
