FATHER looked at me with alert attention as 1 asked to look again at the japanned box left by my mother, in which he had just found the sapphire ring, which he was interpreting as a message of forgiveness from her. Characteristically, he did not even glance at the box as he handed it to me, but his burning eyes and the sudden, deep etching of lines in his face showed me that he was reading the intuition I had concerning the box. I looked the cavity over carefully, finding nothing the first time, but on second inspection I found, fastened to the lining, a tiny flat bag.

fashioned of the same silk that Adele Garrison. formed the lining Adele Garrison. of box and cavity. It was so skillfully attached to the lining that no cursory inspection would have discovered it. But I knew, somehow, that my mother had visualized this very picture, and that she had counted upon me, her daughter, to find this thing that she had hidden so carefully.

I ran my fingers over the tiny and heard the unmistakable faint THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1933.

The Facts of Life. USED to think that drug store windows OW told all there is to know about the facts of life. We were dead wrong. Today's popular songs tell all there is to know, and if you don't believe it, just listen to a few of the titles as they come in over the radio. Not long ago Ring Lardner went on a lonely crusade to clean up the air.

It was just shortly after "Paradise" went into action and he objected strenuously to the crooners' going into "oohs" when their emotions got the better of them and they failed to express themselves in mere words. Apparently what in the old days the asterisk expressed is now rendered by "ooh-ooh-ooh" (see "Shuffle Off to or (see the theme song in Jean Harlow's latest effort to hold her man). "Tell me what a man eats and I will tell you what he is" observed some old gastronomic expert long ago, Brillat Savarin probably. But we say, tell us what a country sings and we will tell you what's the matter with that country. OH SAVING no real folk songs of our own, with the possible exception of the Negro spirituals, we have nothing to examine but the popular songs of the day.

But surely some of the suppressed desires as well as the basic ills of our modern life are therein exposed. As we see it, there are four human urges that most of the popular songs express. First, a nostalgia for being some place else than where you are, the take-me-back-to-Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, Alabam', California, and practically every state in the Union with the possible exception of Arkansas. Second, a strongly imbedded mother, or rather, mammy complex, for which Al Jolson is largely responsible. Third, a willingness to be, or a wailing over the fact that you are, in love.

Fourth, a moanin' and a groanin' low about the sad necessity for hard work. The great majority of themes falls in the third category, what with the constant repetition in the amorous titles which we picked up at random from the music counter at the Pearson Piano Company- "Pettin' in the Park," "Maybe I Love You Too Much," "Ooh, What I Could Do to You," "One Hour With You," and God forbid! "Why Can't This Go on Forever?" TO the category firmly opposed to hard work we have a theory. Every time you twist a radio A dial of late, five to one you get "Lazybones," "Hi Ho, Lackaday, What Have We Got to Lose," or "I Feel So Lazy When I'm Lyin' in the Hay." Could their present phenomenal popularity and the rest of the dawdling, drawling blues, be due to the suppressed desires of a weary American populace tired unto death of our upand go-and-get-'em, get rich quick policy? And it may be that the tireder and more muddled the poor old American public grows, the more lustily it bawls, "Let's Turn Out the Lights and Go to And anybody knows what's the matter when the radio starts to twitter, "Let's All Sing Like the Birdies Sing Tweet, Tweet, Tweet, Tweet, Tweet." Uh huh -nerts. Underwood. My recollections of my mother, also, are of a woman sweet, angelic, but possessing A.

dignity which seemed to forbid her either using a diminutive or pet name, being addressed by one. She always had called me Margaret, although in tender moments she used to put her arms around me and whisper, "Mother's only comfort." The superscription on this envelope, however, revealed a side to my mother's nature that I had never known. In those old dead days which ended in tragedy, there patiently had been laughter and lightness- -the playfulness of happily married lovers. "Charlie!" It was not my voice that spoke the name, but my father's, and in his tones there was a delighted wonder that brought quick tears to my eyes, did not hear that name for months before I- went away," he said, and I visioned something of the coldness. the suspicion.

"Take your letter into the living room and read it, all by yourself.

I am sure that mother never intended any other eyes, not even mine, to see it." He hesitated only the fraction of a second, then rose, the letter and ring clutched in his hand. "I can trust your divine instinct, my darling," he said gratefully. "Knowing her, I believe she did intend this for my eyes alone." He went into the living room, I saw him adjusting the light and settling himself in a chair under it. I turned my head away SO that not even my eyes should watch him while he read, and for a long time there was only the rustle of paper to be heard. He must have read the letter two or three times, but finally I heard his footsteps coming back to me, and I wondered what effect this message from the dead would have upon him.
