CAIN WN'U• RELEASE CHAPTER 1 All this, :that I'm going to tell you, started about four years ago. You may have forgotten how things were then, but I haven'tt. I'm a contrac- tor, junior partner in the Craig -Bor- land Engineering Company, in New York, and in my business there was nothing going on. We sat for three years with our feet on our- desks reading magazines. It -got so. bad) that when' Craig, my partner, came ,into the office one day with a comical, sto{'y about a guy who wanted a concrete chicken coop builtt, sdilew'here out in Conneetieut, we looked -at each other shifty -eyed for a minute, and then without say- ing a word we put on our (hats and walked over to :the railroad' station to take the train. We wanted that coop' so• bad we could hardly wait to talk to the male. After the coop was built. Craig dug in at his farm upstate, -and that lett me all alone. --__ -- It was about four -thirty on e, 'fall afternoon. when. I decided to call it a -day and go home.'' The office is in a remodelled loft on East 35th Street. We own the whole building. The house is on East 84th Street, and it's a (house; not an apartment. But -„I, had forgotten it was .Wednes- day, Doris' afternoon at home. It was the usual mob: a couple of Dor- is' cousins, :three women from the So- cial Center, a woman just back• from Russia, a couple of women who •have boxes at the opera, and half a dozen husbands and sons. They were all Social Register. , Me, I'm Social Register too, but I wasn't until I mairried Doris and I'm a. traitor to the mind that took • me in. These friends of Doris', I don't like them, and they don't like me. 1. . went around, though, and shook hands, and didn't. tumble that any- thing unusual was going on until I slaw Lorentz. ' Lorentz 'had been Dor= is' staging teacher before slie mar- ried me, and .he has been in Europe since then and this ,was the first :I knew he was back. And his name, fol' some reason, dii'dnft seem to get mentioned much around our house. You see, Doris is opera -struck, and one of the things that began to make trouble between us within a month . of the wedding was the great career she gave 'up to :marry me. I kept telling her I didn't 'Want her to give up her career, to go on studying. But she would ootne back with a lot of stuff about a womtans float duty be- ing' to her home, and when Randolph. came, and 'after him Evelyn, I be- gan to say - she had probably been right, at that. But that only, made it worse. They left 'about six -thirty. I pour- ed two drinks, and set one beside her and said here's .how:-..Slie -kept leak- ing- out the window, and in a minute or two' saw the drink and,,stared at it like she couldn'timagine what it was. That was a bad sign., because Doris like's d'rink.,as well as you or b do. . ."Oh, no. Thanks just the same,"" she said. "You feel bad?" "Oh, no It's not -that." • • She ,pointed at her throat. _.."Oh?.. Bad_ for...the•--v tete--her?' _ I said. 7 't "Ruinous." '• She kept looking at me: with• that sad, orphan look which she always A.M. 8.80 P.M. 12,04 12.15 12,28 into 112.47 int 1.00 cause she wanted to go back to sing- ing, but site wasn't satisfied just to do that. She had to .harpoon me witn It, and harpoon me where it hurt. And, in the second place, all we had between- us and starvation was the dough I had salted away in a good hank, enough to last at least three more years, and after that the house, and after that my share of the Orai-- Borland Building, ante after- that a oourple of other pieces of property the firm lead, if things'- got that bad. I hadenever asked Doris to cut down by one cent on the household ex- penses or give up antthing at all. I means, it was a lot of money, and I began to get sore. "Doris, :bre yqur age. You're only trying to snake a bum out of me, and I'm not going to buy it." "You have to thwart me, don't you, Leonard? Always." There it goes. I knew it. So -I thwart you. How long have you had -this idea?". • -I've been- thittt1 t about it quite some time." • "About two months, hey?" "Two menthe? Why two Months?" "It a seems funny . that this, egg comes back ,from Europe and right away you decide to resume your car- eer." • "How wrong you are. Oh, how wrong you are." • "And by the time be; gets his forty a week, or whatever it is he takes, and all the rest of his cuts, you'll be taken for a swell ride. There won't be much left "for the husband and kiddies." "Pin- not paying Lorentz anything." . What?" "I've explained to shim. About -our -circumstances." • • I hit ,the roof then: I wanted to know what busines's she .had telling him about our circumstances or any- thing else. I ,said .I wouldn't be un- der otbligations to him, anti that if she was going to have film she had to pay him. But I lost the fight, 'just as I al- ways did. I wished I could stand up against her, bait I ':couldn't. * .!: * . That eight t she undressed in the dressingcroom, and when she came out she' went to the door of the nurs- ery, where the kids had slept, before they got old enough to have a room "I've decided to sleep in here for a while, Leonard. I've got the exercises to do when I get up and- all'•sorts of things. There's no rea- son wthy you should be disturbed:''.., "Any way you like." '<Ctr-perhaps you would:' be more comfortable in "there." ' Yes, I •,even did that. I slept that night .in the nursery, and took up .may' abode there from then on. What T ought t to do wasgo in and sockher g in the jaw, I knew that. So for the next• three months'. there was nothing but vocalizing all over the place, and then it turned out `she was ready for a recital. For a month we .got ready for the recital, and the less said about it the better.,Never 'Mind what the hall cost and the ad- vertising cost, and that part. What I hated was dtrumining up the crowd. I don't know if you know' how a high- toned Social tRegistterite, like Doris eleesewhatishe gets -reedy to give a recital to show off .her technique. She calls up all her friends and sandbags them to buy tickets at $2 a ticket. „And not only does' she call up her "It seems funny that this egg comes back from Europe and right; away you decide to resume your career." gets on her face when ,she's getting ready to be her worst, as though I were, far, far away and she could hardly see me through the mist, and then she went back to looking ,out the 'window. "I've decided to resume my career, Leonard." "Well, gee! That's great!:' "It's going to mean giving'up-ev- erything. . And it's going -to ._ mean work, just slaving drudgery from morning to night,." "I guess singing's no cinch, at that." "But -something has to be done." "Yeah? t Done about what?" "About everything. We can't go on like this, Leonard. Don't yob see?, I know you do the •bests you can and that you can't get work when there is no work. But something has to be. done. ' If you can't earn a .111ring, then I'll have to." Now, to you maybe that sounds like to game little wife stepping up beside her husband. to help him fight when the fighting was tough. It wash't that, at .all. In the first place, Doris had high -hatted me ever since we had been) married} on account of my llamily, , on (account.- of everything she could think ot But, one tiling eh'e hadn't been able to take .away from Me. I was the one. Who went out and . got the Adugh, aired plenty of it. And tthia retralsti. that at last s(he had found a way to 'high -hat Me. ':even on that. 'She wine 'going back to .e1MMly nS he. IM•til•`. .loaf. yin „And?„ "She told hint he had to come and give me a 'review, and he promised to do it. But the fool told him it was tomorrow instead of today, and, Leonard, you'll :have to call him up and tell him." "Why do I have to call him alp?" "Leonard, the's the most important man in town -it's jusrti a stroke of blind luck that he promised to give me a review, and I can't lose it just because of a silly mistake over the day." . . I went into the bedroom and pick- ed ... up. the -.phone book. ,He wasn't in it. I called information. They said they would (have to have the ad- dress. Doris began screamting_ at me from the dressing -room: "He lives on Central Park West! In the "tame building as Louisel" . I gave the address. They said they were very sorry but it was a. private number and they- wontdn' lie able to give it to me. (Doris was yelling at me before I even hung up: "Then you'll have to go over there!" " . • . So I hustled on the 'rest of my clothes; and jumped , ,In a cab and went "over there. I apologized for callling so early, and mumbled some- thing about Louise Bronson 'and how anxious we were to have his opinion on my wife's voice, and for a minute Hertz set and stared at me; Then he ,cut me off, and cut me off sharp:. "My dear fellow, I can't go to every recital at the drop of a hat. If no- tices were sent out my paper will send somebody over, and...there was no need whatever for you to come to me about it" . • "Louise Bronson-", • "Yes, Louise said something to me about a recital, 'but .I don't let., her tun my department, either." Then ..I, saw we weren't alone. Througgi the double door was 'a breakfast room, and two women were in there, listening. One oia them, in a kimono, seemed to be his wife. The other one had a hat on and looked' like a guest. I couldn't see her face but she was leaning toward the wife, whispering somlethin and tau hing. g g h I felt 'my face "get hot.• .I said I was sorry, and got out .of there as• fast asI could grab my -hat.- Tthe recital didn't- here :any. , Tht place was peeked with stooges, ' and they clapped and 4it didn't mean a^ thing. I sal with Randolph and, Ev- elyn, and we . clapped. too,' and' after it was over and about --a ton of flow- ers had gone up, and my fttowers• too, we went backstage with ''the whole mob to tell Doris how 'swell she was, and ,you would have tho, t it- was just , a happy family earls, elan as soon as, y. face wasn't red, any •more, .from tht k g about the critic, It got red from .something else. About a third of that audience were children. That was how they had got back at us, those people we had sandbagged. They bought tickets, but Qjley sent their children -with nursemaids. Doris took our children home and I went out and ate, and then went over to the office. .About two•thirty the phone rang. - "Mr. Borland?" -'"Spealtife, "This is Cecil Carver," . She spoke is though I'd know who Cecil Carver was, but I never heard the, name .before. "Yes, "Miss Cat:: Vet'? What can I do for you?" "Per - hate. 1 ought to explain. I'm a sing- er. I happened to be visiting up in Central Park West thie m•orning'when you called, and 1 heard what was said."

Ob.: yes, culture than its practical side when you start up Park Avenue with it. , I don't know when I tumbled to it that Doris was no good. But some time in the middle of all the •excite- mtent"lt jest ta'l'e to me one day that she couldn't sing, that she never could. sing, .that it was all Aust a pipe dream. I tried to shake it off, to tell myaeLf that I didn:t know anything about it, because that was one thing which had always been taken for granted in our house; that she could have a Career if she wanted it. But I couldn't shake it off. I just knew she was no good, and didn't know how I knew it. . The recital was in February, at eleven o'clock of a 'Priday morning. About nine o'clock I was in the nurs- ery, getting into the cutaway coat and gray striped pants that Doris said I had to wear, when 'titre rihlbne rang in the bedroom and I heard: Dor- is answer.

Welt -it did me good toesia down to a proper dinner once in a while, with beautiful" things -around and the table shining with silver and glass. We all felt that it would be excellent for us, and it was. In these days of hastily snatched meals one's manners go to pieces, I fear; and some , day we eha_ll need manners again, of course. it, I took occasion to remark: "If I do anything peculiar with knives and forks, please don't notice! I once Wrote a book on etiquette -if you can•• believe it -but I can't remember a single thing I piit"'in'-it!" However, everything ran smoothly, and I don't think I disgraced myself. "Oh, that's nothing," the barrister's wife had re - Marked.. "I always put my bread 'in. the gravy nowadays." We didn't on this occasion; but it just goes to show that we don't waste much in these times. Nobody is too pernick- ety. . .. . After dinner we popped on our coats and went off to 'another party, where • there Was just everybody. Three children had got up an im- promptu show, and rows of chairs were set out for the audience. To y slight ' emlbtarrassment I was..,..... t among "the mothers,:' and our even' ing frocks made a brave..,array in :lie' front row. Itt was all highly expo ing and those kids did well, though I think' they were sometimes a,. trifle disconcerted by the sudden screams of -laughter- from the grown-ups. • We had two recitations -very well deliv- ered -a step dance (with cart -wheels in true professional style) and two plays; one concerned with- a• restaur- ant, into which oddly -dressed beggars wandered, in a surprising manner so- liciting alms from the diners; and another with a scene in a tobaccon- ist's sthop, where there was a. spot of ,bother about cigarettes, which went upin price .P'r ce to "eight -and -six for two." These infants certainly do think of the most extraoj•dinary things, but nobody could complain that they aren't topical. There *as even some up -tie -date business of finding cigar- ettes "under ,the 'counter." I liked the little touch of the customer who fell flat on ,his • back (and staked there, -overcoat and all) at . the eightt% and -six point of -the little drama. No- body helped these kids,-they--w-erked; out -the whole thing 'tor themselves. •Up Till Midnight' We hadn't the heart to send, them to 'bed, so they stayed up with us.tilt- midn•ight, at which point the prostrate customer -a pluitup little maid of n•iri,e-came up to our- table and said, witfi en -gaging frankness: "Mother, I'M practically asleep. • I really don't know what I'm saying!" We were all beginning to feel, that way, so the party soon broke up. We came out into a lovely starry night, with a real snap pi' ,Christmas cold in the air, and the. world all black and sil- ver grey. I suppose there • will be snow soon. Incidentally, one of the party, an amusing man, rooked at me and observed: "No-boc!y would think to see you tonight, that you go to work on a bicycle!" Personally, I think it tvotild .be a little eccentric to' turn up at a party looking as if one went to work on a bicycle.

'J. Thom- as. Stout ,Speoialist, • Ontario Agricul- tural College, Guelph. Decili•ing that Ontario's pasture problem is largely a hay -pasture prob- lem, the O.A.C. expert states that by improving the hay crop through bet- ter soil management and -selection of seed mixturos adapted'.._to his special conditions, the fa.rmet• automatically improves his pasture. Unsuitable seed mixtures• have been chiefly respons- ible for the large acreage* of worn out, thin, weedy pastures now present in this province, says 'Mr. Thomas. Soil .type, drainage and length of time to be left seeded clown, should be eonatidered when selecting a mix- ture of seeds. A red clover, alslke and timothy mixture is only good for one year. The clovers disappear ledv- ing a thin stand of timothy -a rela- tively poor pasture plant. Soon weeds appear -and at the end of eight to 10 years the timothy runs out leaving a thin, weedy, unprocluctive blue grass sod. If six to 10 pounds of alfalfa were added, productivity would be maintained over a Much longer per- iod. Yields of shay tend pasture decline tp uelr-'more rapidly on sandy soils than on heavy soils.
