new literary secretary to the pop
ular writer, Mrs. Muriel Halleck,
whose pen name is “Jo Palgrave.”
Alioce likes Muriel and she also
has met Brent, the writer’s artist
husband, and Rick, Brent's four
year-old nephew who was adopted
by the Hallecks after his parents
were killed in an accident, Alice
is not pleased with Brent's dispo
sition and she has just witnessed
a quarrel between Muriel and
Brent over the cutting down of a
tree near the house. Muriel says
the Brent acts like a “spoiled
baly.” Brent says. “This land, and
what grows on it, is mine.”
Vv
The little incident about the tree
in the garden increased Alice
Pine's natural curositq about
Brent Halleck. She wondered why
anyone who could afford a lei
surely life in this charming spot
could or should be, as Brent ap
parently was, perpetually discon
tented and almost truculent. In
her opinion, both the Hallecks,
Muriel and Grent, were at the top
of the world.
Muriel seemed sensible of that
fact and was becomingly grateful
about it. She was gay, cheerful,
even dispositioned. At her writing,
Muriel drove herself relentessly,
but she knew how to stop and
throw the work out of her mind.
She had a calmness, even a scren
it that was remarkable in a cre
ative person. After the first week
of close contact with Muriel, Alice
had yet to see the woman actively
irritable.
Eventually Alice decided that
Muriel had been right. Brent was
spoiled. With that conclusion,
Alice stopped thinking about him.
He was a side issue, anwhow. Her
business here was with Muriel.
As the days passed she found it
a pleasant business. After the

feverish operation of an advertis
ing agency, this ordered routine
was child’s play. She did not even
‘have to take shorthand. To Mu
hiel's own great disgust, she could
not dictate satisfactorily,
They tried it, exhaustively but
futilely. The words that flowed so
easily to Muriel’s fingertips balked
at getting off her tongue.
“Oh, darn it!” Muriel exclaimed
at last. “It's no use. I'm just a
wooden Indian. Why wasn't I
born an Edgar Wallace or an E.
Phillips Oppenheim?. They made
fortunes simply by talking to
pretty girls and into dictaphones.”
“You were born a Jo Palgrave,”
Alice reminded her. “That puts
you in the upper brackets.”
* * &
But the situation distressed
Alice. She was being highly
paid and felt that, under these
conditions, she wasn’t worth it.
Without hypocrisy, she suggested
a downward salary revision. Mu
riel blasted the idea.
“Look! I engaged you thinking
I could work in a certain way. It’s
not your fault that I can’t. The
salary stands. But” — her quick
smile flashed--“you’re going to
suffer now, my dear.”
“A pound of flesh?” Alice
laughed.
“Definitely. For years I wrote
in longhand. 1 really like doing
it that way. But it’s a bit old
fashioned and lately I’'ve tried to
learn to think on the tpewriter.
I'm not much good at it, though.
SO-0-0, back to longhand. And
you can struggle with my chicken
tracks.”
Muriel’s handwriting, however,
was reasonably legible. Alice
found she could do everything re
quired of her and still have plenty
of leisure.
But the question of what to do
with this extra time puzzled Alice.
But Muriel solved this problem
for her. .
‘I saw a golf bag in yaur room,”
Muriel said one day “Play much?”
Alice blue eyes lighted. “Every
chance I get.”
“Well,” Muriel tapped a pencil
against her strong white teeth,
“Neither Brent nor [ play, but we
belong to the Tolliver club. T'll
fix it for you to have a round
occasionally.”
*® L 3 *
That was why, on a certain
afternoon, Alice slipped away,
leaving Muriel wrestling with a
tricky point in her story.
The golf club was a nine-hole
affair, and informal. It was de
serted, too, as far as the first tee
was concerned. Alice drove a ball
and split the fairway for 200 yards.
But on the second hole her drive
landed in the rough near a clump
of trees.
She found the ball after a short
search, in a bad lie. She was pull
ing out a niblick when she heard
the oath. A round, whole-souled
oath in a deep contralto voice.
Alice swung around.
A tall woman in tweeds ma
terialized from the little grove of
trees. She picked up a golf bag,
hitherto hidden by tall grass, and
stamped her foot. Then she saw
Alice.
“Heavens! I though 1 was
alone,” she exclaimed.
Alice controlled a desire to
laugh. “Well, I just got here.”
The woman came up. She had
chestnut hair streaked with gray
and 2 long bony face. “Wish I'd
gotten—here,” she pointed at
Alice's ball. “I'm lost in the
blasted woods. But I won’t look
for my ball any longer.”
“I'd be glad to help you,” Alice
said. .
“Thanks. I'm beyond help in
this game. Are you playing alone
by chance?”
Alice replied that she was. The
tall woman hesitated.
“Well, I'm terrible. But why
don’t we go on together?”
“Certanily,” Alice said.

Southern Educators Wind Up Meet
After Hearing Need For Manpower
By ANDY ANDERSON
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Oct.
24 — (AP) — Educators from 14
Southern states wound up a four
day meeting today after hearing
there was a critical need for edu
cated manpower in the United
States.
Among government and indus
try experts here to report on the
country's situation and needs was
Phillip N. Powers, former man
power specialist with the National
Securities Resources Board and
now with Monsanto Chemical Co.,
St. Louis.
He said that, for example; i the
summer of 1951, there were 80,800
openings for beginners, only 38,000
graduates to fill the jobs and half
of them were being drafted or
were vulnerable to draft.
' The demand for engineers is
rapidly increasing because of*our
. defense efforts, but the supply is
steadily decreasing, he said. By
1954, the demand will be greater
than 80,000 but the supply will be
" only 17,000.
Mortimer Graves of the Ameri
'can Council of Learned Societies
warned that of two wars America
has on its hands, one military, the
other ideological, the latter 1s be
ling lost because we’'ve placed too
+ much emphasis on the former. And
"in the long run, it's really the
| idealogical ~war that'll count,
Graves added.
Graves said the top 20 per cent
of the nation’s intellect should be
used effectively. That means, he
lsaid, that these men and women
should get their education and
'prepare themselves for the ide
ological war. But they should have
a general education and shouldn’t
{ necessarily study specific things.
Dr. J. Hillis Miller, president of
the University of Florida, and
Theophilus P. Painter, president
, of the University of Texas, said
!the southern regional education
’ program is saving tax payers “un
told dollars.” <
They said “We want the best
possible facilities for training stu
dents. Each state might try to
set up its own research program
but if it did the cost would be pro
hibitive. Interstate and inter-in
stitution cooperation is needed to
5 solve our preblems more econom
! jeally.”
Both explained that by using

existing money, the state and the
individual citizen would spend
less to keep up schools and that
this in turn could mean that high
er salaries might be paid for bet
ter teaching.
The four-day conference was
dovoted mainly to technical meth
ods of setting up high level grad
uate school programs that would
make more and better opportuni
ties available to more qualified

students.
To this end educators, just be=
fore the conference closed at noon,
laid plans to facilitate movement
of students with mutual accep
tance of credits by institutions;
exchange faculty or employ it to
s# up joint use of research libra
ries or other research facilities and
single out specific phases of re
"search for inclusion in a broad
program.
Although 65-odd colleges are
participating in the general plan,
19 in 14 Southern states have en
tered the contract program where=
by, under pre-arranged quota and
financial agreements, students
from one state may attend college
in another.
Under this plan, 850 white and
negro students are now studying
veterinary medicine, medioine,
dentistry and social work.
TREASURE TROVE
Jewel Tricks
For New Look
NEA Beauty Editor
If you are given to stewing with
budgetary frustration each time a
new ' design in costume jewelry
becomes the latest rage, chances
are you're indulging in unneces
sary consternation.
No one can deny the importance
of jewelry for dramatizing the
simple, well-cut dresses that have
become the backbone of every
well-dressed woman’s wardrobe.
But all is not lost simply because
you can’t keep up with current
trends.
Bring out your imagination,
along with that box of inexpensive
jewelry you've been collecting
since you were in junior high, and
see what can be devised. If your
mother has discarded her costume
jewelry in favor of one good piece
of real jewelry, you might find a
treasure trove in her accumula
tion, since many types of jewelry
—amber and colored beads, for
example — that were popular in
the early part of the entury are
regaining their importance.
If certain pieces have lost their
impact, through over-emphasis in
past years, try marrying them to
ofixer hackneyed pieces for a new
effect. That standard string of
pearls, for instance, may be en
twined with jet or amber or even
with an old gold necklace. ‘
If you've worn your heavy sil
ver-link choker until it's almost
become a trade mark, try giving
it new life by running a filmy,
colorful silk scarf through its
links.
Perhaps it's bracelets you're
lacking. Many attractive wrist ac
cessories can be concocted from
logping chains or beads about your
arm and securing them with pins
or clips. '
