Housewife Wins Prize With Book Pulitzer Winner Wrote Books While Working for Family. BY HELEN WELSHIMER NEA Strvlft Staff W'rttfr IiTHEN Carolina Miller got off * ™ the tram in New York carrying her hat in her hand so the reception committee could identify the woman whose first novel. “Lamb in His Bosom." won the Pulitzer prize, a belief in something lovely and lost came back again. Mrs. Miller didn't have a certain place and definite hours in which to write. She ha; a husband and children. She ha to hunt for collar buttons, bandag • skinned knees, bake birthday ca :ej, learn about cookies and dogs But she won the highest award of the year. Over and over people who want to write, sing, or paint say that if working conditions were perfect they would do it. Oh, yes, certainly! And il you were the King of Siam you would sit on a throne! No, it would seem that if one wants to do anything badly enough, and has the innate ability, one will do it. If not, then there are always gardens to plant and other people’s books to read. Genius Will Out As the fog crept in from the East River in New York the other night, an old man stood on a corner weaving a tapestry of sound from an old, old violin while a music box played an accompaniment, once upon a time, perhaps, the musician had played second violin in a little music hall somewhere. Now he played a sidewalk song. There were discords and breaks. He had never perfected his art. Maybe he thought that he knew' enough when his teachers had told him to study harder, prartice longer. Maybe the practice hours came late when he was • leepy or the neighbors had a cat whose reverberations on the night air jarr'ed his melodies. So he gave up. Never the time, the place or the opportunity! But the genius doesn’t grow that way. As Caroline Miller said, she had a book she wanted to do so she wrote it W'hile fruit juices bubbled on the stove gettiing ready for jelly, and the butcher, the baker and the gas man came and talked about short cuts, wholewheat bread and the meter. Impatience, wise men say, is the besetting sin of the age. We want an Aladdin's lamp which will bring greatness at a single touch. But unfortunately—or no. fortunately!— the Arabian Nights’ Tales were finished long, long ago. Centuries pass while an elm tree grows. Roses don't bloom over night. It requires the richness and fullness of growth and experience to achieve anything thvt will be great and lasting. Weeds spring up. But we dig them out. Hard Work Essential It sounds like preachment, of course, but those who want to attain their heights will keep climbing and will use the very things which apparently retard them as a laboratory of development. They will realize that if they had perfect working conditions perhaps they would be so remotely removed from the general symphony of living they wouldn't pitch their songs as they should. They'll work—and when they have served their apprenticeship there will be a desk and a lamp and a typewriter whose keys don't stick! Anyway, the fact that Caroline Miller wrote a prize-winning novel may make us all look around our own backyards for material for the pattern we want to perfect. As an artist painted a pitcure one day a friend of his looked over his shoulder. “I'm sorry, but I don’t see anything beauitful in that!" he explained, oblivious of the fact that nobody had asked him whether he did or didn't. The artist smiled a little: “Don't you wish that you could?” he asked. Maybe there Is a reason why an unknown young woman in Georgia wrote a great book.

BEGIN HERE TODAY Arm Hollister, pretty and 20, breaks her engn cement to Tony Mickle, commercial artist, because of his drinking and general irresponsibility. The same day Peter Kendall, wealthy and prominent, learns how Valeria Bennett, his fiancee, has deceived him and tells her everything is over between them. Ann and Peter, both heartsick and disillusioned. meet in a restaurant. When Peter asks Ann to marry him she agrees. They go to Florida and spend several weeks happily Then Peter is railed home because of business. All of the Kendall family except Petersister, Millicent, snub Anrj Valeria schemes to make trouble between Peter and Ann. One night they are preparing to go out for the evening when a telephone call comes for Peter. Ann recognizes Valeria's voice. Later when Peter leaves the apartment she is sure he has gone to Valeria. Tony telephones and. because she Is angry at Peter. Ann goes to his apartment NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE ANN heard the kitchen door close, heard ice rattling about in a pan. Just a minute more and Tony would be coming in with the cocktail. She lifted her coat from a chair and walked out of Tony’s living room. The door, closing behind her, brought him. but she was in the car when he came tearing down the walk. She could see the rage and disappointment in his eyes. “Why the rush. Ann? Did you think I intended to shanghai you?” She was looking at his eyes. They were lined underneath, a little puffed. He was heavier. She thought. “Tony's going gross if he doesn’t stop dissipating.” Tony put his hand on the door, but made no move to open it. “After all. I'm to celebrate your birthday alone,” he mocked, “while you rush home to play the dutiful wife to a wandering husband.” “I remembered something—something important.” Ann started the car. pressed her foot firmly down on the gas. After the first burst of speed she slowed down. There was no need to hurry, now that Tony’s place was behind her. Certainly no need to hurry when there was no one at home waiting for her. Women were silly creatures. Ann thought, holding on to ideals which men kicked overboard at the slightest provocation. Here she was rushing home because Tony, fixing cocktails. had made her think of Peter fixing eggs and bacon. Somehow, it had seemed important. Or perhaps it was only instinct to preserve what She had been taught :o regard as sacred—honor, loyalty, fidelity. Women were queer that way. Ann drove the car into the garage. went into the building, and in another moment was letting herself in the warm, luxurious apartment. It was very still and quiet. But, somehow, she was glad to be here. Glad to be in her own room, with its decorously drawn curtains and silk-shaded lights casting a soft glow over the silver toilet articles on her dressing table. She undressed, got into her gown and slipped on a negligee. Brush-

ing her bronze hair absently, her mirror. They were shadowed and eyes met the eyes of the girl in the perplexed. If Peter realized his marriage had been a great mistake, why wasn’t he honest about it? Surely he knew she would release him if he wanted to be free. Perhaps he planned to tell her soon. Even now he and Valeria were probably discussing things, wondering how Peter could make it more plain that his make-believe marriage had brought him nothing but regret and that he wanted to dissolve it. Rubbing on cold cream, Ann’s finger touched her eyelashes. They were wet. Stupid to be crying because she had brought nothing but regret to Peter. She wiped off the cream hastily, pushed the cold cream jar aside. She got into bed and switched off the light. Just then she heard Peter’s key in the outside door. He was back this early. Strange. a a a VALERIA had said in a voice that sounded desperately anxious, "Peter, you must come. At once. It’s about —about that check I gave you day before yesterday.” “What about it?” “I can't discuss it over the phone. Aunt Louise might hear. Peter, you must come.” Peter thought he understood. Valeria had overdrawn. Evidently she had discovered it and realized the check would be turned down. If that were the case he supposed he must drive over and reassure her. The check had been banked earlier in the day. “I'll be right over.” he said. He went to Ann’s room, planning to explain that Valeria was in some difficulty. But when he opened the door Ann’s eyes had met his, unsmiling. Then she had flared out at him and that had made him angry. Naturally Ann did not know how T hysterical Valeria could become. Peter had suspected that if he delayed going, the phone might continue ringing until he did go over and quiet her fears. He reasoned that Valeria was afraid to let her aunt know she was running so close to the financial edge. Valeria kept him waiting 15 minutes. When she appeared she was wearing a pair of red velvet lounging pajamas. Her golden hair which she usually wore close to her head in sleek, shining waves was loose — in a careless fluffy bob, making her look like a schoolgirl. She smiled at him radiantly. "Peter, you darling! I can always count on you.” Peter stared. He had expected to see her upset, perhaps crying, but there was no indication of hysteria or nervousness. ’Cigaret?” “No. thanks.” Peter said shortly. “What did you want to tell me about the check and why couldn't you tell me over the telephone?” "I'm horribly embarrassed. And then Aunt Louise might have been snooping around, i feel terrible asking you—- “ You're overdrawn.’ “Gracious, no. I'm not quite that low. It's this way. Annt Louise didn't tell me until I came home that there were some heavy obligations she must meet this month. The truth is. peter, it would be so much more convenient to pay you next month.” "Why in the world didn't you say so? You knew you could pay me whenever you please.” "That's terribly sweet of you. but the check has gone through now,” Valera reminded him. nun PETER frowned. So it had. “'Well, that’s easily remedied.” he said after a moment. He took his checkbook and fountain pen from his pocket, made out a check and handed it to her. Valera smiled. “Thank vo u worlds. This will ease Aunt Louise's mind. I’ll send anew check next month.” “Any time that it’s convenient for you.” She followed him to the door. “Must you go, peter? I really get horribly lonely these days.” Her

Another holiday event arranged for the*entertainment of the’ junior social set is the Christmas luncheon and get-together of the Radcliffe College Club to be held Friday, Dec. 28. at the Woodstock Club. Miss Marion Barnard, club president. is arranging the party, with the assistance of Mrs. R. F. Scott, vice president. Special guests will be Indianapolis girls home from classes at the college for the holidays. Miss Betty Noland, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen C.

Hilda Stewart, club secretary-treasurer, as hostess. The local club, with groups from St. Louis, Dayton and Cincinnati, maintains a regional scholarship to send a young woman to the college. ALPHA DELTA PI SCHEDULES PARTY Annual Christmas party of Alpha Delta Pi alumnae will be held tonight at the home of Mrs. Paul Myers, 3711 N. Gladstone-av. Miss Helen Adolay and Miss Margaret Presnall will assist the hostess and members will bring donations for needy families.

voice was wistful. “It's only natural that I should miss you, isn’t it?” Peter got away in a hurry. He was thinking that with the least excuse Valeria would be getting emotional. On the way home he found he was worrying a little about the check. It wasn’t important, of course. Still — He was thinking about Ann, too. She had looked awfully pretty with that angry light in her eyes. It was the first time he had ever seen her angry. Now that his own anger had cooled he was inclined to be amused over the way Ann had flared up. She had spirit. When he drove in he noticed that the door to the garage where Ann’s car was kept was open. It had been closed when he left. He stood looking at her car. He shook himself out of the mood. He was getting morbid —first worrying about that check business and then vaguely troubled because Ann had been out in her car. He had been away from home less than an hour and Ann was back. Perhaps she had taken a spin on the drive. Or gone over to Sarah’s and found her ont at home. The light w’s off in Ann’s room, but he knocked. "Ann,” he called. “What is it, Peter?” “It’s too late for a show, but how about going some place to dance and have a bit to eat?” "Not tonight, Peter. I'm in bed.” “Ann, I'm sorry about your birthday. Let’s celebrate it tomorrownight. We'll ask another couple, take in a show and a night club.” “Fine.” Peter grinned. Ann's voice didn’t sound in the least angry. What a good sport she was. Almost any other woman would still be resentful, or crying, which would be worse. He felt guilty and ashamed. He had acted like a damned idiot, rushing off to Valeria. But he didn’t know how to tell Ann that. Ann was feeling better. Peter had not stayed. He had come back in a hurry. If he had come a few minutes earlier they would have met at the garage. ft tt a PETER was hoping things would ease up at the factory. But they did not get better that week or the next. At the end of the second week, work was ready to begin. There was 'an ominous silence on the grounds, an atmosphere of suspended violence. It was as though the big factory waited for something. Workers went about their tasks automatically. Group meetings on the grounds had been banned. A penalty of dismissal had been set for violation of the order. But there were group meetings outside. Newspapers carried daily stories and editorials which condemned the spirit of lawlessness that had appeared in the Kendall factory. Benefits the workers had known for more than 40 years under the Kendall regime were cited. The papers boldly advocated placing a cordon of armed police about the construction force the day work began. Ann said to Peter, with a tightening about her heart, “Will you be there?” "Don't worn-,” he said. He read the anxiety in her eyes. Ann was worried about him! “When are they going to begin?” “At 9 in the morning?” Ann slept little that night. Lying awake in her bed, she thought of Peter and his difficulties. She thought of his tanned face, his gray eyes which would be serious and friendly at times, and teasing and tender at other times. Peter was in trouble. If he loved her she could go to him now and tell him how worried and frightened she was. But she couldn't because he loved Valeria. She turned her face against the soft pillow. And after a long while she fell into a troubled sleep. (To Be Continued) Mu Chapter Meets Mrs. G. O. Byrd was hostess Wednesday for a Christmas party of Mu chapter, Alpha Omicron Alpha Sorority.

Solution to Previous Contract Problem BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League THIS is the final of a series of three articles describing an interesting and unusual defensive play. I like today’s hand because it show ? s you how far you can go with these fine plays. Now some players might say to you, “Isn’t this a private convention?” Certainly not. Just because your opponents do not know as much about the play of the hand as you do, they have no right to class this play as a private convention. And remember that your knowledge of this play in no way affects their play, as they are absolutely helpless against it. n n n IN the play of today’s hand you have to take into consideration the bidding. Remember that East doubled North’s club bid. West’s opening lead against the four spade contract is the king of diamonds. He continues with, the queen, East shows out, discarding the nine of clubs. Now’ of course West can lay down his third diamond and it will hold. But that would not defeat the contract. West knows that his partner can ruff the next diamond, but if he can get his partner in to lead a club, that trick can be ruffed also to defeat the contract. So at this point, West’s proper

HOSPITAL PATIENTS ENTERTAINED

Greet- ; ing cards and candles will be placed on patients’ trays Christmas morning and gifts will be given patients on the Thomas Taggart Memorial children’s floor. These Christmas activities of the center w 7 ere announced by Mrs. W. C. Hartinger, president, following the executive board meeting Wednesday in the nurses’ residence.

Juvenile patients were entertained this afternoon at a party in the solarium on the children’s floor.

play is to lead the deuce of diamonds. Remember, I told you in my two previous articles that playing the lower card when you know that your partner is going to ruff is advising him that your entry card is in the lower of the unbid suits. When you lead the deuce of diamonds, East ruffs with a small spade and now deliberately leads a club into dummy’s ace-queen. West ruffs and the contract is defeated one trick. Without employing this play, if West simply goes ahead and cashes his three diamond tricks and then leads the fourth diamond, forcing East to ruff to kill a discard, the declarer will over-ruff, pick up the trumps, and discard the losing club on the good queer of hearts.
