Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovila eg ; WHY EVERY hypnotist who slides or rides into town picks on Ii] ol’ me, can’t be answered. It could be that I have the only pair of brown eyes perpetually rimmed in rose. ; Jayzee, the man who is billed as the “Master of Hypnotic Hi-Jinks,” is the latest victim.

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Feb. 1—We are celébrating a sad sight in New York this week, as Mr. Lawrence Newman, an ancient, renegade bachelor takes unto his spavined bosom a briae. He is not only committing matrimony at an ungodly Lour of the morning, but is requiring his best friends to rent stripe pants in order to officiate at the sacrificial rites. This comes high. It is certainly no reflection on the charm or beauty of the bride, a Miss Mary Frances that Mr. ITewman’s late blooming betrayal of his guild is regarded with a note of wistfulness by his friends. It is just that Mr. Newman had come to be regarded as a solid symbol of incorruptible bachelorhood, together with his 2 friend, Mr. Frank Conniff, whe has fled 'b the wars in Korea rather than witness his bul drop from grace.

YOU MUST understind what supposedly permanent bachelors meafi to their brethren, bowed beneath the velvet yoke for many's the dresry year, When things got tough in the houre, and mamas began to fling weight and weapons about, the likes of Larry were a refuge. We of the harness-galled shoulders could go and press our sad, tear-stained little faces against the stony facade of Frank and Larry.

We could reflect that here, at least, was a pair that would never know the sweet and bitter pangs of mutual blessedness, enforced with the lash of legality. It was vicarious living of a high order for the love slaves who turnéd over the pay check intact. ? The presence of a bachelor in a community is a wonderous thing, indeed, in that no hostess need fret about the extra hand at dinner, and all wives feel free to commiserate about the dreadfully unhappy life the poor bum is living, all by his lonesome in a hotel, being forced to eat that awful restaurant food night after night—plus, of course, the sadness of living without a woman to guide him, * ¢ ¢

Jayzee's instructions were to pay attention and follow his instructions closely. The pitch was to shoot the doubletelephone angle beats eye-to-eye

WITH THE preliminary instructions out of the way, I handed the phone to Lt. Shipley and placed my hands on my lap, relaxing in the chair, chose

a spot in the ceiling of the hose room to concentrate on.

“Ready,” I announced. Jayzee's patter began. He ‘has a soothing quality in his voice. If he ever decides to give up hypnosis, he ought to try and get a job with the telephone company. He was to count to 30. By the time he counted to 15, he said I would be vereeee tired: by the

count of 20, vereee, vereee tweepy and at the count

of 30, dreamland. With all due respect to his art, I must explain the conditions in the fire house Jayzee was working against. Three or four of the hoses were dripping water. They had been used earlier that morning and were drying. .

ANOTHER THING, a radiator was shooting :

Lt. Shipley’s warning remained fresh in my.

mind also. In case of a fire, he and Pvt. Bertram would be gone in a flash—Dbe prepared to grab the phone, ‘bub. You'll have to agree, Jayzee had a handicap. 3

Of. course, some of ‘the chatter was disturbing. |

One man asked, “Is he asleep yet?”

“Aw, he's always asleep. Remember the time |

he played fireman over here and slept through an alarm?” .

“How do you hypnotize a man who is in a daze?...ha, ha”

oo WHEN JAYZEE said. the noggin was getting heavy and loose and was falling -on my chest, he

“Let's thfow a bucket of water on him,” sug-

“gested a buddy in blue.

Finally the hypnotist reached 30. I was so interested in knowing whether something had happened, I opened the eyes and gave a quick check. * & &

LT. SHIPLEY still held the phone, Pvt. Bertram was still staring me in the face and the rest of the men were leaning against the door and one another. In short, I was not in a hypnotic spell. “I'll hypnotize you and put you to sleep for the rest 8f the afternoon,” volunteered Pvt. Bertram, reaching fof a heavy brass nozzle. Sorry, Jayzee. We'll try it again. Maybe on Your time at the Lyric. Could be that the hoses kept mé awake. Or maybe you didn’t give me the right subject to dream about. I suggest something blonde and blue-eyed, measuring 5-4, 36-24-36. That combination of numbers would do it.

Passing of Bachelor

Is Lamentable Thing

and the patter of tiny feet, also maintain a spurious - superiority to the bachelor, founded strictly on jealousy. Men want company in misery, like drowners, and it is an awful thing to watch the way they will gang up on a bachelor, while secretly hating themselves for what they are doing to the poor oaf. You could see it happening all summer. The wives quit beating the husbands in public, "and exuded sweetness when the courting pair was about the premises. The husbands cried the praises of double harness, and sneered opénly at the dreadful, barren life of the exile from wedded bliss. The bride-to-be, like all brides-to-be, knew what she was doing all along.

She casts the honeyed hook, and in no time at all the fish is gasping on the bank under the delusion that he caught the angler.

overdue bachelors, the emphasis is less on‘ the bride than on the groom. Miss Mary Frances Flavey, for instance, was seriously advised by friends to dicappear until the wedding day, in order not to scare the quarry away from the sacrificial pit. Other bachelors have been weeded from his company, as have disenchanted spouses of both sexes. This long-sought prize is the only male I know who is getting a shower, there being a broad conspiracy in the city to make him rich as a recompense for lost freedom. As he sits and rubs the ring In his nose to a high polish, his confreres cluster round. with advice on what every blushing group should know.

All this advice, such as beating them early and taking no guff about an evening out with the boys, is disregarded in a rosy dream of idealistic domesticity. The lady of choice already begins to lay down the law, and all he can hear is angels chorusthg. Pity. i * * . THE RITES come off on Saturdayrarnd the man is much too far gone to bolt the barrier and flee to Singapore.
