Poet Fights Against War, Lacks Hope Edna St. Vincent Millay, Disillusioned, Believes Youth Will Serve. BY EVELYN SEELEY Timr Spuria) Writer NEW YORK. Dec. 13—Edna St. Vincent Millay's voice trembled with emotion, her eyes shone bluer than the blue of her ring or the blueness of her frown, her blond hair fell losely over her forehead, as she read us last night her "Conscientious Objector. - ’ "I shall die. - ’ <she read! "but that is all that I shall do for Death. . . . Though he flick my shoulders with his whip. I will not tell him where the black boy hides in the swamp. I shall die, but that is all that I shall do for Death; I am not on his pay roll.” This is her last, her only crusade, and it is more of denunciation. The college boys throughout the Middle West and the South applauded tremendously. she told us, as she read these lines to them on her present tour. After the readings they all bore her out on their shoulders in tnumphal procession. Passingly, she was encouraged. "But what will happen when war comes?” she challenged as the flush faded from her face. "They'll go! They will be made to believe that it is right for them to go.” Speaks With Bitter Feeling The poet who burned her candle at both ends in a gay and gallant Greenwich Village youth, who crusaded against puritanism, who more recently fought for the lives of Sacco and Vanzetti. spoke bitterly. "1 am not so hopeful as the young are.” she said. "What is going on? France is ready to fight for her rights in the Saar Valley, Ramsey MacDonald says not so much free speech, Churchill comes out for an air force second to none. Again this Armistice Day they hung wreaths on the grave of the Unknown Soldier, who's pretty damned well i known by now. "What good has the Disarmament Conference done? What good all the organization working for peace? We can t go on making such fools ! of ourselves, but we do. It's time we pulled up our socks a bit, isn't it? But we don't.” Blames the Profit Motive When someone mentioned the munitions makers, she started. "Os course, that's it.” she said. “I do blame the profit motive. But it's the young who believe they can change the world. If I am disillusioned it is because I have seen movement after movement start and always fail. I have heard people say things and think they meant them, j and then go bark on it all. I have some hope, that's p. 11.” This is the poet of disillusion critics found most readily in her new volume, “Wine From These, Grapes.” who does not like to be . reminded that she has lost hope for man—-individually and collectively. 1 "They make me sound as if I j didn't care any more,” she said, j "And I care so much that I am j weary with my denunciations.” Denunciations such as this — “Detestable rare, continue to expunge yourself, die out. Breed f •ster, crowd, encroach, sing hymns, build bombing airplanes . . . Convert again into putrescent matter drawing flies The hopeful bodies of the young.. “Can Not ihe World” Only the poet' words were bitter. She has the enchantment her poems evoke. A combination of shyness and abandon, of youth and maturity. of detachment arl indignation.! she bridges the gap between her! poems and you. Now she lives on her 700-acre farm in the Bcrkshires j or on the Riviera, or—when in New j York—here at the St. Regis. But you visualize her still in a Village garret, in a careless smock instead: of this gracious gown. “I only know this,” she said. “I should like to live in a world where every one could do the thing he wished, could have the job he wanted; where every one who wanted to study to be wiser and more perceptible than he is should have that opportunity. I should be willing to give up everything I possess for that, willing to live on a loaf a day. “But I can n >t find the word.” OFFICERS CHOSEN BY ALUMNI CLUB New officers of the University of Pennsylvania Alumni Club are: Maurice T Harrell, president; Norman Metzger, vice-president; Neil C.

Contract Bridge

Answer to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNNEY Secretary American Bridge League THERE are two types of bridge players, the money players and the tournament players. Peculiar as it may seem, many fine tournament players are not exceptionally big money players, and a good money player doesn't always make a good tournament player. David Burnstine has won for himself the title of outstanding tournament player of the country for the last three years. Whenever he enters a tournament, it is safe to bet that he will finish among the first five and, generally, you'll find him on top. Even in his worst games you will never find him. at the end of the to> rnament, with a score below avert ge. .Since he and his teammates won th* Vanderbilt tournament in New York recently, they have discussed the possibility of disbanding their team, as they believe it is too strong and discourages other teams from entering the contests. Mr. Burnstein is a very accurate and careful player. Here's a nice squeeze play he made in a recent championship tournament: non 'tYT'EST opened the ace of diaVV jnonds to prevent the discard of a possible singleton diamond on a spade. When the ace held. West continued with the queen of diamonds. which Mr. Burnstine won in dummy the king discarding a club. v Some players might foolishly start

\ out to set the spades, but Mr. Burnstine saw that he did not have j enough trump entries to do that. He decided against the club finesse because West had made a vulnerable overcall and, therefore, must hold the king of clubs. So, the only chance he had to make his contract was by a squeeze play, i Therefore, Mr. Burnstine took six rounds of hearts on which West discarded three diamonds and the dummy two clubs and two spades —it was immaterial what East played. Wow, three rounds of spades were taken and, on the third round, West must bear down to the singleton king of clubs and the pack of diamonds. So Mr. Burnstine leads a club and. as he has kept track of West’s hand, he plays the ace and drops the blank king, which establishes his queen. (Copyright, 1934, NEA Service, Inc.)

‘LOVABLE’

BEGIN HERE TODAY : Ann Hollister, prettv and 20. finds work in a library She fails in !o\e with Tonv Mickle, though warned against him bv her room-mate. Sarah Kent. Later Ann meets Peter Kendall, wealthy and prominent and engaged to Valeria Bennett, society girl. Without Peter s knowledge Valeria goes about with a gayset One night she attends a party at which a man is shot. Peter, learning how Valeria has deceived him. tells her their engagement Is at an end. The same day Ann breaks her engage- ; ment to Tonv. She and Peter meet in a . restaurant and discuss their mutual unhappiness. When he asks her to marry him she agrees They are married that night and set out for Florida i In the davs that -follow Peter Is dlsI turbed bv the realization that he is deeply attracted bv his pretty -'friend wife. When they return home Ann is snubbed bv all the Kendalls except Peter’s sister. ' Mililcent. chapter' EIGHTEEN MILLICENT said to her mother, "After all. grandfather won’t live always. When he dies, most of the money will be Peter's. It might be better for the family if you were friends with his wife.” “Is that why you’re sponsoring Peter’s wife?” Carol asked, amused. "No, it isn't the reason. I think she’s darned sweet.” "Well, maybe,” Carol said. "But why all the bother? What does she need with us? She has Peter’s millions.” "You know as well as I do there are plenty of snobs who like to hurt newcomers, no matter how rich they are. And if Peter’s own family turns a cold shoulder, she will be hurt lots of times. There was the Randolph reception last night. She wasn't asked because mother is such a good friend of Mrs. Randolph.” Millicent’s angry eyes met her mother’s. "Well, really. Millicent —” Mrs. Kendall laughed. After a moment she said, "I never thought of suggesting to Margaret to have her. It didn’t occur to me after that glimpse I had of her in Jerome’s that she would be particularly interested in social affairs.” "You should see her now. You’d change your mind. If you won’t help, I warn you I’ll put her across without you. It won’t be hard because she has beauty and brains, and as Carol suggested—millions.” "I can’t see what all the fuss is about,” Mrs. Kendall said, a little flutter of anxiety in her voice. "Peter goes out one night, angry at Valeria, picks up this girl somewhere and marries her. And then you expect me to make her a social success. I’d probably have to start teaching her table manners. Have you seen her eat?” Millicent was drawing on her gloves. "I imagine her manners are better than mine, from what I’ve seen of her. All right then, I’m giving a reception and dance this week and everybody in town will be invited. Have I your regrets?” “Indeed, yes,” Mrs. Kendall said gently. "I really have a dreadful cold and Carol will be sure to want to stay and take care of me. The whole town Imagine.” “I agree with you, Millicent, we are beastly,” Carold said mischievously. “It’s a reputation we have, and we must maintain it.” Millicent was angry and very determined. She would do something for that forlorn, lovely child. And it was going to be exciting to pit her wits against her mother’s. Carol was counted out. She hadn’t particularly counted because she was indifferent about parties and indifferent to every one. But Mrs. Kendall had power and some of the old standpatters would stick with her. People were a lot of sheep, Millicent thought. All standing back waiting for someone to put the sign and seal of approval on those who broke into their ranks. The next step in the campaign would be to convey to Ann very diplomatically that one couldn’t leave one’s handsome and rather defenseless husband at the mercy of shrewd women. Peter was brilliant, but not very smart about women. If he had been. Valeria couldn't have pulled all the tricks she had. Ann was not playing up to Peter. There was a barrier of some kind between them. At times they were almost absurdly formal with each other. It was dangerous—this careful, polite, friendly attitude of theirs. If they would have one downright quarrel, if Peter would get violent and shove her around, or if Ann would become jealous and throw something at Peter it would help a lot. “There’s a lot of emotion beneath the surface there,” Millicent thought. “But it’s bottled up. And that’s bad.”

WELL, Millicent would give her . dance and Peter would *see Ann in that gorgeous white gown she had bought Ann had been beautiful with her bronze hair drawn back from her face, fitting her small head like a bright crown. And the lines of the frock were j truly inspired, bringing out the | beauty of her slim young figure. | Maybe Peter would wake up whan he saw Ann dancing in that white dress. Millicent hoped Ann was a good dancer. It would help, too, if she were a bit of a flirt. Peter needed something to show him how sweet and desirable his wife was. When the pictures of Ann arrived Millicent studied them carefully. It ; was difficult selecting one for the 1 newspaper. They were all so love- ! ly. In one Ann's fresh face appeared | above rich fur. a tiny hat on her head. The other had been made in a spring frock —a plaid with starched white pique collars and cuffs. Ann wore a wide- tailored hat with a prim, smart brim. Her face looked very demure under the big hat, her eyes serene, almost sad. Millicent finally decided on that one. Three days later Sarah picked up a newspaper and saw Ann’s picture. “What a knock-out!” Sarah said. “This will give them something to talk about. I'd give a lot to see Valeria Bennett’s face when she sees this!” Later Sarah was almost sorry Ann had chosen the pose with the sober eyes. Tony would be sure to think he had put the sadnes s there. And of course he had. / • But Sarah hated for him to have almost been sorry for Tony, who had almost been sorry for Tony who had been hard hit by Ann’s reckless step. Since the day he had learned of Ann’s marriage, Tony had been different. He had gone on a terrible spree, lasting a week. Tony had been sober ever since, but there was something disquieting about his soberness, some smoldering quality. * tt IT was worst that a triangle, this mixed quartet—Ann and Peter, Tony and Valeria. It couldn’t be easy sailing with so much to ruffle the waters. Trouble enough without family complications. And then, there were the Kendalls. Ann stopped at Sarah’s apartment that afternoon about 5 and rushed first into Sarah’s arms and then into Mac’s. Sarah thought she had never seen Ann lovelier—all in warm brown, wearing the small brown hat she had worn for the picture. But the careless gayety of the past was missing. Ann was graver. There was a tenseness about her manner, a in her eyes. "Where is Peter?” Mac queried. "Busy. I'm married to an up-and-coming architect and construction engineer. Peter Was called back by the rush of work and found things piling up. I am afraid I won’t be seeing much of my husband for a long time.” "Did you have a good time in Florida?” Sarah asked. "Lovely. It was the dearest, most peaceful little place.” Sarah thought, “What a way to talk about a honeymoon!” "But of course,” Ann said, as though she were reading Sarah’s thoughts, “we didn’t spend all our time there. We went about. Peter wanted me to shop in Miami, but I waited until I got home.” "Ann then bought out the shops,” Sarah said. “How does it feel to be married to a millionaire?” "Honestly, I never think of him like that.” "Happy, Ann?” Mac asked bluntly. The question caught Ann unprepared. Color rushed to her cheeks. "In many ways, Mac.” “Honest kid,’ Mac thought. "Lots to be happy about but something missing. Probably that fellow is pining away for the Bennett girl and Ann is longing for Tony.” “If the Kendalls hand you a rough deal, you know you won’t have to stand for it,” Mac said. "Millicent has been dear,” Ann said. "She is planning a big party for me this week.” "Probably the iron will of old man Kendall,” Mac suggested. Ann shook her head. “You’re wrong about Peter’s grandfather. He is the one who is most bitter. He won’t let Peter even take me out to see him.”

"Why the damned old idiot!” Mac began indignantly, adding. “Maybe he's just mad with the world. He's in plenty of trouble about that addition to his mill. Some of the building material orders he gave our firm have been held up." “Maybe.” Ann agreed, doubtfully. “What about the big shebang the Heaths are having for you?” “Millicent has invited everybody You and Sarah will be there —and Valeria BeruicU.” “Ann!” cried Sarah. “You don't mean she’s really invited?” (To Be Continued) IRVINGTON D.
