Handel had headed his first
page with the words "Messiah,
an Oratorio" and date it "22
August 1741," Now, as he ended
his task, he added the final
dates, which tell of the compo-
sition being completed on Sep-
tember 12 and the instrumenta-
tion finished two days later. Twc
hundred and sixty five pages ol
score lay before him, most: al
them without a single correction
or sign of indecision . . .
If we listen to Messiah with
the musical ears of two hun-
dred years ago, we can better
understand how unconvention-
ally yet surely Handel designed
his masterpiece. The omission'
of the traditional 'final minuet
to the overture, and its replace-
ment by the accompanied reci-
tative "Comfort ye" must have
been completely unexpected tc
audiences of his day. The await-
ed entry of the chorus in "And
the Glory of the Lord" adds tc
its dramatic effectiveness .
It was a work apart — some in-
ner urge had compelled him tc
write it. And so his last thought
was to perform it for his own
monetary gain, though at no
other time in his career had he
more need to recoup his finan-
cial losses. He had, however, re-
ceived an invitation from the
Duke of Devonshire, then Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland, to -visit
Dublin, and had been specially
asked to compose a new work
to be performed for charity. Al
that time all the principal musi-
cal societies of Dublin gave their
performances for charitable ob-
jects, and Handel therefore got
in touch with the charity "for
the benefit and enlargement of
poor distressed prisoners for
debt in the several marshalseas
Of the city of Dublin." There is
something at once pathetic and
inevitable that the bankrupt

Pottery plays a key role in
Japan, shown artistically at the
table in a wide variety of forms,
shapes, and sizes and divided
into many distinctive kinds,
from the hard, white porcelain
ware to the soft dull-glazed folk
pottery.
Japanese, whether ueing
warm, earthenware utensils or
gleaming brightly-polished red,
black and gold lacquerware, ale
ways strive for harmony and
tdenty with nature, in the kit-
chen no less than befote the
guest.
The average household has
the following utensils: rice
bowls; soup bowls; large and
medium dishes for food-serving;
small dishes; saucers; chinaware
plates and platters; . . . a wide
, range of chopsticks, from wood
to bone, to ivory, to lacquer;
End chopstick rests, also of mat-
erials in the shapes of reclin-
ing animals, leaves,twigs, pine-
:eines, boats, fish, etc,
In the home one finds the
teparated chopsticks that the
Fapanese call hashi; in the rest-
surants, one finds the half-split
type that are known as wari-
bashi, used once, then thrown
sway.
Kitchen utensils follow West-
ern pattern with a variety of
knives, skillets, p a n s, pots,
pitchers . . . and the like; but
there are also articles of dis-
tinctive Japanese origin:
There is the tub for the rice;
the long slender knives used in
preparing the filets of raw fish;
the pestle for pounding the
farneus New Year's rice cake;
the wooden spatula for ladling
the rice; the long iron chop-
sticks for handling hot things;
the bamboo lattice mat for
moulding the various kinds of
sushi, or rice-sandwiches; the
sieve made from wood and
horsehair; and the bamboo bas-
ket for use in straining and
draining vegetables. — From

Japanese Girls Try
Modern Hair Do's
Late in the afternoon the girls
set out for Yoshino, a small
mountain resort noted for its
cherry trees and historical as-
sociations . .
Instead of the usual sightsee-
ing, the girls spent the evening
freshening their uniforms, which
were bedraggled and spattered
with mud from the morning in
the rain. Two large rooms, each
sccemmodating thirty girls, had
been engaged for them. After
supper the girls put on their
simona nightgowns and then,
spreading their skirts on the
floor, basted in the pleats. Later,
when men and women servants,
each with a roll of bedding in
his arms and looking like a pro-
cession of ants with big crumbs,
had laid the bedding in ranks
Dn .the floor, the girls slipped
their dresses carefully under the
mattresses in the expectation
that morning would find them
well-pressed.
Y.
"You like to take his place?"
suggested the president.
Before that threat the uncle
stood down. After all, he had
taken the fearful oath of the
society. It was a pity, for Yagba
was a nice lad, but there it was.
And so ,Yagba was found dy-
ing that night before his hut.
He had been stabbed in the neck.
But the job had been bungled.
His death moans had aroused
the village.
The A.D.C. had enough to go
on. There was a mass arrest,
followed by a mass trial. Six of
the Human Leopard', Society
were convicted •of the murder of
Yagba and hanged, the rest were
sentenced 'to life' imprisonment.
In the Freetown United Breth-,
ren'in Christ Mission, one of the n
most eloquent preachers Was a
native of the colony. He had
been converted and sent to Eng-
land to study for the ministry
Killers Wear
Leopard Skins
As the assistant district com-
missioner went into his office his
native clerk, 'greeted him with:
"Boss, a leopard has killed a boy
in the imperri chiefdom, Bad
business, boat"
The 16,..1),C. looked at the man'i,
rolling eyeballs and slumped
into his creaking chair,
Well, he considered, there
were plenty of bush leopards in
the vicinity, He'd seen' the trans
hirnself — some with leopards
caught in them.
But still, in the Imperri coun-
try there were leopards Of an-
other sort that also killed.
Human lemeards.
He decided M investigate.
Eight years in Sierre Leone
had taught the A,D,C. a good
deal about the ghastly aspects
of native superstition and, voo-
doo,
He knew all about the secret
society initiated by medicine
men which needed human fat
for a revolting fetish called Bor-
fima, Each member of the soci-
ety possessed a bag containing
dried cock's blood, the white of
an egg, parts of both a man's
and a woman's bodies and hu-
man blood, all ceremoniously
mixed and wrapped in a leather
case.
Borfima was supposed to bring
good fortune to its possessor 'and.
misfortune to his enemies. eBut
after a time Borfima was con-
sidered to lose much of its power
—and that meant the leopard
men had to go out killing again
to get fresh human fat to re-
store its vitality. The killers
usually made a meal of the re-
mains of their victims, • •
The A.D.C. also knew about
the fiendish Tongo Dancers who
claimed to have the power of
discovering criminals by magic
ritual and crazy dances,
The A.D.C. soon had the story
from-the villagers. Late one night
a terrible moaning roused the
sleeping village. And soon every-
one was yelling murder. For
there, before the door of his hut,
lay Yagba, nephew of one of the
village headnien.
Had a leopard done it? Some
villagers had got a glimpse of
the killere—two men disguised
in leopard skins. They had scur-
ried into the bush at the first
scream of alarm, abandoning the
body of their victim, which they
had intended to cut up to re-
plenish their Borfima bags.
What was the story behind
this new crime of the human
leopards?
As he finally got it out of an
informer, with many bribes, it
was a tale of horror such as to
shock even the hardened A.D.C.
The year of that dreadful urn-
perri case was 1912. It was a July
day when a santiggi—a, human
Leopard Society messenger —
came to the village and spoke
to one of the headmen before
departing at a trot,
The messenger had left word
that the president was calling a
large meeting for that night in
the Porro bunt outside the vil-
lage.
Near midnight the president,
a tribe] chief, had arrived with
his staff in the, bush clearing. ,
There was only the moon to
light the' large squatting assem-
bly of human leopards.
"Borfirnsi," he announced, "is
hungry. Borfima, needs human
fat and' human blood. If BorfiOla
does not get these, there will be
no more magic."
That was the crux of it—who.
should be chosen for human
sacrifice ,to Borfima?
"I say Yagba," suggested one
,of the company.
"You say Yagba?" protested
the village headman, "but Yagba
is my nephew!"
Mrs. Garmise was writing a
postcard to the program in New
York.
"It was strictly a joke," she
says. And then they were called
down to New York for an inter-
view and it wasn't a joke arty
more:
"At first we had our doubts
about' her as a contestant," says
Mert Koplin of the show's pro-
duction staff, "We felt she might
be too young. But she has so
much poise that we figured we'd
take a chance. We might have
forgotten her, though, except
she almost gave us all the
measles."
It turned out she was getting
the measles when she came in
for the first interview. Mrs. Gar-
mise, a day or so later, wrote
to Koplin thanking him for his
courtesy and saying that if any
of them got the measles, it
would be a gift from Marjorie.
Nobody did, though.
Marjorie was "the calmest one
in the theater" the night of her
first appearance. She sat in the
consolation Cadillac in the wings
before she went on for a while.
Then she discovered that some
of the stagehands were watching
a ball game on TV, and she went
over and watched some of that.
The Garmise family went out to
dinner just before show time;
none of them felt much like eat-
ing except Marjorie who tore
into a steak.
At this point, Marjorie has two
ambitions. She 'wants 'to play
Little League ball; she thinks
it's unfair that they only let
boys like her brother, Andy, on
the teams, She hopes maybe her
TV appearance will wake them
up to relaxing the rules.
Her other ambition is to meet
the members of her favorite
team, the Brooklyn Dodgers.
She saw her first game this
spring, When the schedule first
came out, she studied it carefully
and checked off the game she
wanted to see, It was a game
against the New York Giants.
Mrs. Garmise put her on the
train to New York and an aunt
met her and took her to the
game, Marjorie had picked a
dilly — it was the day Carl
Erskine tossed a no-hitter.
Even before she began read-
ing about Babe Ruth, Marjorie
was on her way to being a base-
ball student. Andy started her
off, He collected baseball cards
and would give his kid sister his
cast-offs. Then she began her
own collection, "My house is
just full of those cards every-
where," Mrs. Garmise sighs.
Mrs. Garmise knows nothing
about baseball; in fact, she's
never even seen a game, The
kid's father, an engineer now
working as an estimator with
a sheet metal firm, likes the
game but admits his children
know more about it than he
does.
Both of them say they'll be
happy when Marjorie turns to
-more normal pursuits for a girl.
Her tomboyness—she's an ex-
cellent swimmer and likes most
- sports, besides baseball—is ome-
thing they are sure will pass.
But meanwhile it's pretty strong-
ly entrenched. At the moment,
she figures when she grows up
she'll be a ball player.
suppose," Mrs. Garmise
says, hopefully, "she'll get over
it."
MARJORIE (BABE) IN ARMS:
lestant for a family conference
by Dick Kleiner
NEA Staff Correspondent
Stalling off bedtime is an old
trick for kids..„ But Marjorie
Garmise used the time she pro-
moted so well that She became
the youngest contestant ever on
"The $64,000 Question", She's
just .geven.
Marjorie is an active little
girl — "Tomboy is an under-
statement," says her mother—
with a baseball-happy 111/4 -
year-old brother. Ordinarily,
she's not much for books and
reading. When she reached the
that she wanted to stay up "just
10 minutes' more", she began
using the dodge that she'd like
to read. Her mother: would say
it was all right if she actually
did read.
So Marjorie had to firld a
book. And it was only natural
that she'd dip into her brother's
baseball books. The one that
fascinated her most was a story
about Babe Ruth—"she's literal-
ly read it 30 or 40 times," says
Mrs. Milton Garmise.
In fact, she's virtually memor-
ized the entire book.
"She would follow me around
the house," Mrs. Gamise says,
"offering to recite parts of the
book. Honestly, it got aggravat-
ing .I'd try to introduce her to
little girl things, but she just
wanted to read that book about
Babe Ruth."
She read other baseball books,
too. And one night her parents
were joking about how much
baseball she knew. Mrs. Garmise
said she thought -Marjorie knew
more than some of the contest-
ants on "The $64,000 Question".
Garmise wasn't so sure, One
led to another and pretty soon
and had been ordained. He re-
turned to become a shining light
in the religious life of the capi-
tal.
One day in 1909 word came to
Freetown from the • Yandehun
chiefdom of yet another human
leopard murder. This time the
victim was a little native girl.
She had been lured into the
bush, killed and cut up. Many
Borfimas needed replenishing.
Every member departed with his
piece.
But there were other members
not present whose Borfimas
needed human fat and blood.
And presently ,sweating runners
arrived in Freetown, carrying
leather bags slung over their
bare shoulders.
One went to the house of the
native schoolmaster; another
called at the residence of the
native parson.
Was that, possible? Could a
The villagers were ordered to
assemble. Then began the Tongo
dance. The headman carried g
'knobbed staff at the end of
which was set a very sharp cut-
ting instrument, the tongora.
Over it was draped a piece of
leopard skin.
While dancing madly before
the squatting villagers, the head-
man would saddenly dart and
stab a villager. Sometimes these
wounds were at once fatal, al-
ways they were serious, The
wounded one, or the slain, was
the secret human leopard. At
least, that is what the head
Tonga dancer claimed.

Was there a Borfima hidden in
the parson's home?
•Incredible as it seemed, it was
true. The Church bad ordained
into its ministry an: active mem-
ber of the Human- Leopard So-
ciety! •
Spies and informers were the
chief instruments of the white
man's administration of the col-
ony.
A certain man under suspicion
of being a human leopard was
spied ori, The spy reported that
he' had ,seen the man's wife leave
the hut at dawn carrying a large
pot, He said he had startled her,
when she, had dropped the pot,
which, he found, ,contained the
gruesome Borfimo. mixture.
A.B.C.An had the man
brought in' for questioning.
A human 'leopard? He denied
it emphatically. But what about
the pot?
"I am a sick man," he ex-
plained. "I had a dream that
made me sick: A snake swal-
lowed me up to the waist. In the
Morning I couldn't move. I was
like that for four years. Legs no
use. I heard of a Mori man. I
sent for him. He made me this
fine medicine for £3. That is
what was in the pot ney Wife
was carrying. Ahl If the Mori
man was not now dead, he would
