Turns Author After Writing Boy Story Story For Nephew Turns Into Book NEW YORK UP — Those bedtime storiea could turn Mom or Pop into an author. A tale invented for, her eight-year-old nephew put Mrs, Jeanne Wilson, blonde wife of a young surgeon into the authors? ranks this faK “It started \as something his mother could read to him before he went to’ sleep,” said the surprised author. “I .don’t think I ever would have started if I had known it was going to be a book.” That was two years ago. Now the bedtime story is a western juvenile novel, “Half Pint,” just published by the Westminster Press of Philadelphia. •> “I decided to write’lt down as a Christmas present fpf .jimmy” Mrs. Wilson recalled. “A'j month before Christmas I chained'myself to my typewriter and thought I’d never make my deadline. “Os course. I didn’t think of it exactly as a deadline.' Nd one was going to publish it. I still can’t believe it’s on sale.” She said the story definitely was Jimmy’s, “with his favorite words and expressions. He told me the things that happened in his own stories.” Mrs. Wilson, a Smith College English major, sent the manuscript to Jimmy, who , was in school in Saratoga, Calif. He took it to class with him after Christmas and the teacher read it alodd. The third grade critics gave it “raves notices.r The teacher told Jimmy’s mother, who told the author.

SYNOPSIS W Emily Thayer had long and eagerly awaited Roger Field’* marriage proposal, and now on Christmas Eve. tn her grandmother Forbes' elegant drawms room o& Boot on’® Bauson Hill. be mm bor to become Mo wife, Benjy's parents and her uncle, Borner Lathrop, who holds the family purse-strings, had hoped she would choose a wealthy busband. Only grandmother Forbes, a lovable tyrant, seems pleased with the alliance. Walking home that aighL Field discovers a fine old house for sale on Joy Street He yearns te acquire tt for his bride, but it is beyond the means of a frugal young lawyer aoeb as\ne. Roger and Emily are married amid Cathedral splendor, and at the wedding reception she meets for the first time, two of her husband's close associates, genial David Soiameit and Brian Cdtlina, a srpde. Sort of fellow. Grandmother Forbea presents the newlyweds with that coveted house on Joy Street. Here Roger’s very possessive sister Caroline, visits them and is shocked when during Roger s absence. David Solomont pope ta to visit Emily. CHAPTER FIVE ■ AS EMILY greeted David with cordiality, Caroline stiffened in her chair. Matters were at a pretty pass indeed if a man could come uninvited, to her brother’s house — in her brother's absence—and be made welcome. She acknowledged his presence without speaking and with the barest possible inclination of the head. But the gesture lost some of its because David forestalled her with the mocking quality of his own) greeting. “I’m sure you wouldn’t remember me, Miss Field,” he said. "I was only one of the wedding guests who belong tn the category of those brought in from the highways and bywaya* ” Having made this announcement, he appeared to forget her entirely and, after accepting a cup of tea from Emily, looked \about him with obvious appreciation. “What- a delightful roota! Roger’s been bragging all over the office about his bride’s accomplishments as a domestic organizer. But I didn’t realize that she’d have so many museum pieces at her disposal. That’s as fine a Gaugengigl as I ever saw, over there, and I don’t know that I ever saw one more advantageously placed. And this is the ‘missing’ Tea: service from the Winter Palace, isn’t it? Where did you get AH these treasures — and learn What to do with them?” “My grandmother helped me,” Emily replied readily. “At least, the etchings came from Roger's family. But It was Grandmamma who suggested hanging The Intruder' on that particular wan space and lighting it the way I have. And she’s loaned me lots of other things—among them the tea service. \ It was given her when Grandpapa was Ambassador to Russia, about thirty-five years ago. I never knew \ before it was supposed to be •missing.’" | “Oh, yes, it’s had quite an interesting history. I’ll have to tell it to you sometime.” Sometime when he isn’t hampered by the presence pf a third person, Caroline said to herself bitterly. Not that he seems maofi inhibited now. In a minute, WU ask her how much she thinks it's worth. But she was mistaken. Instead of asking Emily, he told her, T believe it’s valued at some* i .thing like eight thousand gold | rubles,” he remarked. “But that’s a conservative estimate. I must tell my stepfather \ I’ve seen It. He’ll be terribly jealous of me.” “Is your stepfather especially interested in such things ?” Emily

inquired, offering the scones. “Welk h«'» an antique dealer, catering to the luxury trade. So he keeps himself informed. He certainly would give anything to see this ropm,” David added, helping himself to’ the scones and looking around again with mounting admiration. Td Uke to bring him here sojnetima” P Td be very pleased if you would. Ilf you let me know beforehand when to expect him, I’ll see it Grandmamma wouldn’t join us fdr tea. She could tell him so much more than I could about the things she's loaned me. She’s lame, so she doesn’t go out a great deal any mor*, but Fm sure she’d enjoy talking; with your stepfather.” Roger arrived barely five minutes after David had left, so there was not much chance, during the interval, for Caroline to impress Emily her disapproval—especially as Emily seemed wilfully bent ouf being pleasant and was, moreover, preoccupied with the prospect of Roger's impending arrival. She heard his key turn in the latch before Caroline detected any such sound and ran out into the hafi to meet him. The next sounds were easily identified, even by Caroline, and there was a considerable delay before Roger and Emily came into the library. Roger was smoothing his hair ard Emily's pretty color was heightened. “Hello, Caroline,” Roger said and klsded her, too. “How are you ? Emily David’s been here. Sorry to have missed him. But I’m usually later leaving the office than he is. He has his own secretary who polishes off all his odd jobs and I have to wait fbr poor old Miss Riley to finish everything.” ; > “I haven’t the > slightest doubt that David Salomont would gladly leave some poor, overworked girl to ’polish bff his odd jobs' while he goes otit lon the town,” Caroline rejoined. j She rose, buttoning the jacket of her: severe and rather shabby suit. “Roger. You look very tired to me. And you seem to be coming down with a cold. Don’t forget that your colds always settle in your chest. One of these days you’ll be having pneumonia, if you’re not more barefuL Good night, Emily. I suppose K's useless to tell you that Roger ought to go to bed at once and keep completely qstet until he’s better.” Unfortunately, Caroline's prediction* about the symptoms of a cold proved to be correct; but the nature of Ms Work prevented Roger taking proper precautions to arrest their development. By the time he did take to his bed, he was really ill for several days. Therefore, to his great regret, he miSsed both David’s second call and Morris Brooker's visit. However, Emily’s detailed accounts of thess served to while away some of the tedium Os his illness, though they did not. compensate for her temporary absences from his side. Rqger, who was seeking to resolve an Intricate point in a minor bankruptcy case for Mr. Milla, found ids thoughts straying from the dull subject. If he had only come to regard Mr. Mins himself with m|re respect, RogSr would have been less prone to such mental insubordination. But he had found absolutely nothing to admire in the evasive character of ■ i

this plausible and pretentious attorney. i “Old Artful Dpdge’s the only one who brings tn chicken coop litigation,” David grumbled to Roger one day when they were ta the library together. “He can smell a penny from here to Pawtucket, so he never says no to a case, even if it’s a suit to recover the value of a cut clothesline. Then be slips the work to us. But he takes the cut of the fee for himself, because it’s •business he brought into the firm. One of these fine days. ...” Recalling David’s outburst, Roger smiled faintly. He was stiU seeking to resolve that intricate point in a minor bankruptcy case for Mr. Mills, and the task was one on which he had already spent more than two hours, apparently without getting one whit closer to the desired goat Unless he could achieve something definite in the way of progress within the next few minutes, he would have to stay late at the office again; and this was the night of the first Waits Evening, when he and Emily were to dine at the Somerset Club with Homer Lathrop! The shrill summons of his telephone broke in upon his mood bf dismay. “Mr. Mills wants to see you In his office,” the switchboard operator informed him. Roger hastily gathered together such notes as he had assembled in the bankruptcy case and, papers in hand, entered Mr. Mills* commodious comer office. Mr. pulled a bound folder from the litter of papers •on his desk and extended it to Roger in the manner of one bestowing largess. His pale lips parted over his yellpw teeth in an ingratiating smile. ••Got a real job (for you, my boy. Want you to take over for me in a jury trial that cornea up in Salem this very afternoon” “But. Mr. Mills—” “I know, I know,” Mr. Mills admitted graciously. Having rid himself of the folder, he smoothed back his thinning hair, adjusted his costly tie, and went on with increasing fervor. “Short notice and all that sort of thing*. Reason for i it, though.
