the god of judgment became an angel 


of mercy and sent unmerited joy 


А GIRL. А GAY, PRETTY AND SULLEN GIRL with full marks 
for both sweetness and cruelty. When he looked in 
her desk for cigarcucs, there was a silken pile of 
pantics folded like flowers in the drawer, perfumed 
like Howers, dizzying him with the joy of springtime. 
When she put on а pair of them, suddenly filling out 
the tiny petals of cloth in two paired buds, it was as 
if the sun had forced а flower into delicate Easter 
bloom. Oh he needed her, loved her, and so Гог 
honor to them both, let us tell the truth, as straight 
as the truth comes. 

He taught one class at Western Reserve University 
just at the geological beginnings of the Allegheny 
Mountains in the city of Cleveland, Ohio — an abrupt 
slope after industrial plains. He told poetry students 
where Keats got his ideas (out of his head) and where 
Hart Crane got his (straight from his noodle), And 
why. And what therefore happened in the abstract 
line, "That is all we know on carth, and all we 
need to know." He, Frank Curtiss, about 30. making 
a living one way and another, was very inspiring on 
ject of eternal beauty and truth, urns, Popo- 
мере, Sunday Morning Apples, etcetera; also very 
pily married. 

Until Lenka, having registered late, entered both 
his class and his life with all those aforementioned 
desperately particular flowertime devotions. She 
seemed to have been bleached by centuries of the 
fierce cold Finnish sun — transparent skin showing 
blue veins on her forehead and pink capillaries on 
her cheeks, thick wisps of hair so blonde it was almost 
white, the bluest eyes with a brush of darkened lash 
above them and a savant use of crayon at the outer 
corners. She had a pouting mouth, she lazily and 
insolently strolled to her seat putting on black shell 
glasses to examine him, she opened a frayed, thickly 
used spiral notebook. She turned out to be 2? years 
old and addicted to occasional efforts at gathering а 
bachelor’s degree by evening classes. 

During the first few meetings of the class, nothing

much happened to Frank besides ап ex- 
aggerated exaltation of commentary оп: 

But with the inundation ој the eyes 

What rocky heart to water will rot 

wear? 

Shakespeare was right: his heart dashed 
like water under her eyes. But he still 
had rocks in his head. Lenka stared at 
him, at a transparent, fidgety, too bril- 
liantly nervous Mr. Curtiss, looked right 
through him with those enormous pale 
eyes, with that lipsticked mouth doing а 
lot of thinking about Frank Curtiss as 
he dissolved. into foam and spray, with 
her vaguely pedantic heavy horn glasses 
being put on three or four times an 
hour, She bent her head to touch pencil 
to notebook, and smiled. 

This did Frank Curtiss both harm and 
good at home. Good because it quick 
ened his pulse, challenged his habitual 
faith that spring really must follow dhe 
dismal Cleveland winter under smoky, 
purple-gray, fouled industrial skies (at 
last the salted slush rustles into sewers. 
March scours the blue of heaven, sun 
tempts the folded leaves and forces open 
the bulbs in the gardens of the monkey 
house near University Circle): giving 
strength, it did him good in his private 
winter at home; and harm because it 
diminished his ability for loyal con 
promise in the hopeless bickerings, fail 
ure: ts. silent starings over 
breakfast with his wife. Perhaps that was 
really harm and реті 

Once Lenka smiled at him, for him, 
it seemed, for the first time. Не 1

paratroop boots, dressed for the weather,

of them just slightly wedged forward 
“What's become ој your creature,” 
Frank asked, “in the transparent swirls)

а serious lady getting extra credit for 
her teaching certificate.

This is about а trout. Now why docs

confused, inspired, dizzied by the beauty 
of Lenka's медис forward tooth, and so 
с you the sound of 
the original. Que devient votre creature 
dans les orages transparents ou son cocur 
la precipi 

The schoolteacher who had forgotten 
her book raised her hand as if she knew 
the answer. Turned out that she only 
wanted to declare that the lines lost а 
great deal in translation, so why bother? 
Jostled by the hurrying current. gravier 
ou balbutie la barque, her heart had 


plunged her to a compelling chauvinism 
about English language stuft, Americano 
type sublimities. 

Again Miss Kuwaila smiled! Lenka 
could be delighted! 

By regulation, of course, such a class 
included conference time. Lenka wrote 
poetry and also what she called — until 
he taught her better—"poetic prose.” 
He forgave her: 

Love's wild beast, truth in the sword, 

Selfstabbing couple whom we iso- 

ше... 

And зо оп; ouch. Enough of that much- 
tamed beast, the stainless steel sword 
which needs frequent sharpening, that 
repetitious, myopic couple, Better she 
should dance, and in fact, she danced. 
She made her living by teaching modern 
dance to the children of Shaker Heights; 
training accounted partly for the angle 
of her chin which meant pride to Frank 
Curtiss (his wife was abysmally discour- 
aged. querulous): dancing and endow- 
nent accounted for the fine curve of 
call into knee, then tuck and dip. then 
high and healthy sweep of behind. Don't 
forget ankle — slim it was. Don't forget 
high-arched foot. Now take mind off leg. 
She wore honest blouses, top button. 
undone, second about to be, but she 
was really reluctant at this moment to 
show him her poeuy. though Frank 
asked most sincerely (secretly relieved 
he was spoiled by much art and even 
Lascivia. the midnight angel of sweet lust 
herself, would have suffered if she wrote 
verse-to-comb-the-libido-by ог breathless 
doggerel ог rindom-focused Eliotic pre- 
tension). Lenka liked dancing, however, 
she liked jazz. she liked jazz people in 
Cleveland and hung around. “When J 
was 16 I had long hair, E pulled it back 
and they thought 1 was older. 1 sat in 
on my first afterhours session when 1 
was — no, 15. 1 think — hair in а bun. 
dimestore earrings, very cool.” 

In music she liked Lennie Tristano, 
Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, and of 
course The Bird. Since Frank was igno- 
rant im the mater, he only blinked to 
indica ty. She went as far out 10 
ward the commercial as admitting that 
she could listen to Kai Winding, pass 
the time anyway. also Bartok, Dessau,

war adolescent who had gone to after

After the class, about 10 o'clock in the 
evening, Frank harried straight home in 
the hope that some miracle һай been 
worked in absence, his wile had 
come to love him. Not this time An- 
other time? Hope had been his habit 
(lute music, dawn-rising, confidence 


that orange juice would always taste 
good); now duplicity also became his 
habit — he took coffee with Lenka before 
class in the early evening. They parted: 
they came to class separately and ће 
called her Miss Kuwaila, though it was 
Lenka as they huddled warming over 
their coffee. She did not use his пате. 

After the first accidental meeting and 
invitation, they avoided meeting by de- 
sign. They just went to the same little 
shop up the hill in Little Italy by acc 
dent at the same time, muttered greet- 
ings, sat down — soon stopped muttering, 
Slightly past the university zone, the

he was not a stick, а pruned twig, а

as he swung back down the hill, Once 
an oddly exciting, disturbing event took 
place: she met him for coffee, they sepa- 
rated аз usual, but she did not come to 
class. That was on a Tuesday. On Thurs

v- 


16594, TAKE ONE 


їт WAS NEARLY MIDNIGHT before the re- 
cording session got under way. The first 
take didn't go smoothly. The musicians 
were still cold and the gaunt young 
singer was obviously nervous. "16594, 
take two,” said the director from the 
control room, and the band began 
again, and as the singer swung more 
ily into the words, faces brightened 
and the drummer nodded in approval 
to the man on the bass. From the be- 
ginning, this had been a big night for 
singer Frank D'Rone, for he was cutting 
his first LP album; now suddenly it had 
become a big night for everyone in the 
studio, as the magic of the melodious 
and swinging voice caught and lifted 
them out of themselves. “Christ, he's 
good. Who is he?” someone asked. By 
session's end, there seemed little doubt 
that a great many across the country 
would soon know who Frank D'Rone is. 
There is some of Sinatra's appeal in his 
voice, and a bit of Tormé in his phras- 
в, but the result is pure D'Rone. 
Frank's first LP didn't come easily 
Under contract to Mercury Records for 
nearly a year, he had been limited to 
mediocre tunes for 45-rpm release, had 
begged for a chance to cut an album of 
good material, finally insisted on cithe: 


the opportunity to do an LP or release 
from his contract. Mercury granted рег 
mission and gave him complete freedom

WALTER MEAUREGARD had been ап ас 
complished and enthusiastic lecher for 
almost 50 years. Now, at the age of 65, 
he was in danger of losing his qualific 

tions for membership in the lechers’ 
union. In danger of losing? Nay. let us 
be honest; he had lost. For three years 
now he had been to doctor after doctor. 
quack after quack, had tried nostrum 
after nostrum. MI utterly to no avail. 

Finally he remembered his books on 
magic and necromancy. They were books

as part of his extensive library. but he 
d never taken them seriously. Until 
now. What did he have to lose? 

In a тиму, evilsmelling but rare vol 
ume he found what he wanted. As it 
instructed, he drew the pentagram, 
copied the cabalistic markings, lighted 
the candles and read aloud the incanta- 
tion. 

There was а flash of light and a рий 
of smoke. And the demon. 1 won't 
describe the demon except to assure you 
that you wouldn't have liked him. 

"What is your пате?" Beauregard 
asked. He tried to с his voice steady 
but it wembled а litte. 

The demon made а sound somewhere 
between а shriek and a whistle, with 
overtones of a bull fiddle being played 
with а crosscut saw. Then he said, “Bur 
you won't be able to pronounce that. In 
your dull language it would translate a

you want the usual thing. 

“What's the usual thing?" Beauregs 
wanted to kno 

“A wish, of course. All right, you can 
have и. But not three wishes; that busi- 
ness about three wishes is sheer supersti 
tion. One is all you рес And you won't 
like it.” 

"One is all 1 want And Г сапт

“You'll find out. АШ right. 1 know 
what your wish And here is the an

and his hand vanished and came back 
holding a pair of silverylooking swim 
ming trunks. He held them out to 
Beauregard. “Wear them іп good 
health,” he said. 

“What are they?" 

"What do they look like? Swimming 
trunks. But they're special. The mate- 
rial is out of the future, a few millennia

never wear ош or tear ог snag. Nice

The demon vanished. 

Walter Beauregard quickly stripped. 
and put on the beautiful silvery swim- 
ming trunks. Immediately he felt won-

He felt as though he were а young man 
again, just starting his lecherous carcer. 

Quickly he put on a robe and slippers.

home that night surprisingly uncompli 
cated. His wife assumed that he В

ntcrrupted his wife's dulled recogni 
of him, In fact, his controlled elation, 
his satisfaction and triumph, brought the 
unpredicted bonus of an immediate eas 
ing of his trouble at home. Thanks to 
Lenka, his wile did not grate his own 
edginess; she too climbed off the razor 
blade on which they had been sitting 
in slashed togetherness. His own rebirth 
seemed to provide a fresh resource for 
both of them. Since he was able to put 
up with her, his wife let up on him for 
a time. Success to the successful, he 
thought, ease to the eascful! How beau- 
шш to the mind is the Christian ethic 
and how helpless before the fact of a 
struggling soul! Far from inheriting the 
earth, the meek get only muck. Stunned

Inconsistent as the mind of a lover, 
however, it turned out that unsheepish 
Lenka, that creature of brave yielding 
beauty, also had her troubles. Frank was 
not accustomed to the calm and cool 
varieties of wildness. At 90 she had been 
sent to Europe to have her baby — "a 
public man" was all she would say about 
the father: Frank found the remark 
cryptic. unyielding. She had refused an 
abortion, but in Europe she had sick- 
ened, the baby had been taken from her 
dead — “I saw it, he looked alive, I 
didn't believe the doctor, Г screamed 
d screamed and they put ше to sl 
again"; and now she could never have 
а child. This, she understood. herself, 
had something to do with the intensity 
of dance study, poetry study, art chasing 
of several sorts. 

Cunning and pity filled Frank's heart. 
Once more he sulfered that wild thump- 
ing. as if the heart might crunch his 
ribs. This time Lenka did not notice: 
she was telling the truth about how it 
was before she knew him, and so his 
heart's labor could not now concern her.

“I always wanted a child. 1 try not to

thing. Want to see how I can stand with 
my foot higher than my head? 

They were in her room. Confused by 
confession. he too had talked about 
trouble in love. He got up to cross the 
lamplit space for a cigarette; then it was 
that he opened her drawer as she 
watched, in unconscious confirmation of 
intimacy, and saw the sheaves of tiny 
folded panties; no cigarettes in that 
drawer; naked. he started across the 
room again, and caught her eyes on him, 
and the pity and the cunning and the 
pride at his ease and at her watching 
his recently slimmed middle (surprise! 
he was just strolling naked here) and 
her own curled loving body part under 
the sheets, all these matters were brought 
together: her eyes shut. her teeth showed 
as he rapidly returned to her; perhaps 
she smiled because she remembered his 
timid and boyish hearts pounding of a 
few weeks before; now he brazenly 
strolled, sprang flopping, laughing 
the bed. They cleaved together. 

Their meetings became more purpose 
ful, deeper in pleasure and trouble, 
Once he waited 15 minutes in the corner 
of the park which, by May, was their 
property forever. He was worried; timc 
problems of married men, Then he 
heard her sandals slapping the pavc-

When you sauté а fine piece of fish, you 
may use butter, but the butter in this 
case should be clarified; that is, slowly

top and solids on the bottom. Clarified 
butter. sometimes called drawn butter, 
will not turn a bitterish black when the 
fish is sautéed, as untreated butter will.

should use a clean, clear vegetable ой. 

Parsley also has an old and honorable 
kinship with fish. Serve sprigs of parsley 
as a garnish on the fish plate, Chop it 


as fine as powder, and, along with the 
lemon juice, add it to the butter which 
is brushed on the cooked fish. Dry the 
fresh curly parsley, and fry big handfuls 
of it in deep fat to go along with your

the side of the fish exposed to the flame 
with bread crumbs and brush with bat 
ter, or coat the raw fish with flour and 
then brush it with oil. Both the bread. 
crumb treatment and the flour coating 
will form a delicious insulation. 

Because of its natural tenderness, а 
fish should be handled very gingerly 
when it's on the fire. When you're broil- 
ing а fish, don't turn it; broil it on one 
side only. Then, if the fish is thick, 
transfer it to the oven section, sull un. 
turned, where the heat will cook the 
unbroiled side. Thirty years ago, Andrew 
Pagani, fish chef of the old Waldorf- 
known for his hollering 
"Never turn the fish!" Actually the id 
h older than that. Louis Diar, fa- 
mous chef of the RitzCarlton. handled 
his fish in precisely this manner. When 
you're turning a piece of fish in the fry 
ing pam, lift it carefully with tongs, turn 
it with а large long spatula, or use two 
spatulos or a spatula and а long meat 
fork. 

The fact that many fish recipes recom- 
mend а short cooking period is undoubt- 
edly the clue to the present popularity 
of fish among these who like ease in 
their daily living. The amateur chef can, 
in 10 or 20 minutes, assemble a sizzling 
platter of shad roe, а planked salmon 
steak, an eel stew or a delightful plate 
of sole bonne femme.

A VETERAN ARRANGER who still holds 
а carpenter's union card, а lyricist who 
dabbles in serious poetry, and a throaty 
thrush from Britain are bringing an 
exciting sound to jazz these days. The 
infectious beat of Count Basie is their 
basis. Using ingenious new lyrics and 
their own versatile pipes, trio Dave 
Lambert, Jon Hendricks and Annie Ross 
re notefor-note vocalizing such old 
Basie ngements as One O'Clock 
Jump, Shorty George and Little Pony, 
with a basic rhythm section supplying 
the only instrumentation іп back of 
lyrics like “Well thanks a lot but really 
baby I must quit the scene if you know 
what I mean/ Don't be quittin' just 
when you're hittin’ the peak/ Get а 
record that will play a week." The gim- 
mick incubated in 1954 when lyricist 
Hendricks took upon himself the mind 
wrenching task of penning lyrics for the 
old Woody Herman favorite, Four 
Brothers. Teaming up with arranger 
Lambert (he’s worked for Krupa, Ken- 
ton, James) and six studio voices, Hend 
ricks recorded the number for Decca, 
but it laid a bomb. The astute Lambert 
decided that they were on the right track 
but in the wrong train. Reluctant to re 
turn to his hard-times sideline of car- 
penury, he hit the discouraged Hendricks 
with the idea of focusing his word-wield- 
ing craft on Basie. “The Count swings 
hard,” said Lambert, “and he should 
well for singing.” Hendricks agreed. 
КОС to work, and а demonstration record 
жаз cut of 12 voices singing a dozen 
Basie standards. It made the round of 
the platter caliphs, all of whom said it 
couldn't be done until ABC-Paramount 
але chief Creed Taylor climbed out on 
a shaky limb and signed them up. 
When the first cutting session went no- 
where, the impatient Lambert cashiered 
his whole army of studio voices save one 
Annie Ros, a curvy English-born 
warbler who sang with Lionel Hampton 
in Europe and whose adroit larynx 
rockets her to F over high С. The trio 
took off on a three-month multi-taping 
marathon (each singing 


four parts) 


Multi-taping is about as cxhilarating 
as a walk across a desert with no shoes 
groans Lambert The exhausting 
process hospitalized Annie and Hend- 
ricks for a week, but it resulted late kist 
year in the exciting ABC LP, Sing a 
Song of Basie (Playboy After Hours, 
October '58). As an encore Ше

Inevitably, the Lambert bunch has b

a lack of true creative invention in mere

calling his own shots 


WHILE EVEN the most protean mem- 
bers of his race have rarely made head- 
way in more than one acting medium, 
Sidney Poitier, at 35, has already taken 
а giant step in three. Starring in the new 
play 4 Raisin in the Sun. a dozen films 
(including the upcoming Porgy and Bess) 
and featured prominently in TV drama, 
Poitier is not only a Negro actor carry- 
ing an unprecedented work load, but 
equally important, he's calling his own 
shots. “I pick stories," says Poiticr, "pri- 
marily as they suit my taste as an actor. 
But I also have certain principles which 
help determine my behavior in life, 1 
try not to offend these sensibilities.” 
Which was why, a few years ago when 
jobs were scarce and his wife was ex- 
pecting, he turned down a sorely-necded 
$1000 for three days’ work in The 
Phenix City Story. “They wanted me to 
play a father whose son is killed by a 
mob, and who rises above the incident 
by forgiving them. To me this isn't the 
solution for this kind of problem." Try- 
his remarkable success in 
acc of his fierce artistic honesty, he

strong determination to fulfill myself as

THE SCULLERY MAID of the television 
world a little over a year ago, Cinderella 
network ABC is now giving her two no- 
longersmug siste: BS and NBC, а 
case of teevec-jcebies, and the man be- 
hind it all is ABC's 40-year-old ргеху, а 
burr-headed chunk of ebullience named 
Oliver "Freyz. Madison Avenue laughed 
in 1956 when Treyz sat down to play 
ABCTV president, especially since he 
as replacing crackerjack Robert Kint- 
ner, who defected to NBC. But in a 
burst of inspired programing, Treyz 
uncorked a one-two-three punch of oat- 
ers (Lawman, Rifleman and the of- 
trail, rical Maverick), homicide 
(Naked City, 77 Sunset Strip) and hay- 
seeds (The Real McCoys), all top aud 
ence-grabbers, and АВС is now very 
much the third major league. Treyz, 
whose lifelong motto has been “Why 
walk when you can spring” bounded 
into communications in 1939 as a one- 
man radio program in upstate N 
York. From there. ће galloped into big- 
time radio, graduating to Director of

farmer, Poitier went to New York at 16, 
where he walloped docks, jerked sodas, 
and parked cars before winning an 
American Negro Theatre scholarship. 
From bit roles he graduated to а fea- 
tured part in the Broadway hit, Апта 
Lucasta. Then on to a shuttte between

driving force,” said Goldenson at the 
ime. "He likes the tough things to do 
rather than the easy and he has the pro- 
ductive capacity of six men and an IBM 
machine"). Installed in office, Treyz 
hired two full-time secretaries to handle 
calls and. incoming correspondence. (he 
seldom writes letters and doesn't hesi- 
tate to call anybody at any hour) and 
initiated the industry's first 25-hour 
working day. Tackling cach new assign-

films and TV. His gamut-running versa- 
ty was manifested in such diverse 
roles as churchman in Gry the Beloved 
Country, Mau Mau leader in Something 
of Value, and juvenile delinquent in 
The Blackboard Jungle. But it was The 
Defiant Ones (for which he won the 
Berlin Festival Silver Bear Award) that 
presented him with his most satisfying 
role. "The film offered no panacea for 
social problems,” says Poitier, “but it did 
demonstrate something significant: that 
two men of different races forced to live 
with each other, while still not digging 
each other completely, do discover that 
the other isn't such а bad guy after all.” 
When, after 10 years of negotiations, 
Samuel Goldwyn finally got screen rights 
for Porgy and Bess, he said, "Гус never 
considered anybody clse for the role of 
Porgy but Sidney Poitier.” The filmed 
version of the Gershwin-Heyward folk 
dassic is very important to Poitier, 
aside from being а top«lrawer showcase 
for him: "Few examples of American 
culture. have received as enthusiastic a 
reception around the world as Porgy. 
The film should reach many areas that 
touring companies couldn't get to."

While CBS and МВС have been throw-

men were soon making their cries of 
encouragement ring resoundingly over 
the countryside to their hounds. Today, 
whether they ride to hunt or hunt to 
ride, fox hunters still aver that the classic 


chase has few peers for cle 
ment. We're in complete agreement, but 
we suggest that, along with the master 
of foxhounds, huntsmen, whippersin, 
kennelmen, stablemen, hunting grooms, 


pad boys, carth-stoppers, et aL, the per- 
sonnel list for any hunt be judged їп- 
complete unless it includes а reynard- 


router like our April Playmate, nubile 


Nancy Crawford of Virginia.

“Gee, I'm sorry I woke you up, Joe,”

WEEKEND HIDEAWAY (continued from page 53) 


right of the livingroom is the master's 
wing, highest and most private part of 
the house. A walled, open-topped patio 
faces the pool; a roofed sun deck projects 
over the lake and provides shelter for 
the boat slip and dock below. If you 
stand at the near corner of the pool, you 
may be able to discern, beneath its sur- 
face, the windows of “the cave,” a rec 
room under the guest wing. 

Now, looking at the unroofed view on 
Pages 50 and 51, imagine yourself skirting 
the diving board and entering the liv- 
ingroom at the first open glass panel. 
There are no steps to climb, no doors to 
open, and poolside and livingroom floor 
are continuous and smooth — а boon to 
barefoot swimmers by day and to roman- 
tic couples dancing at night. Before you 
is the bowHike fireplace, with its hooded 
vent dramatically hung from the ceiling. 
You are now in the relaxed and rather 
sedentary part of the room; wing-back 
chairs and а cory couch against the wall, 
between cabinets housing bar and stereo 
rig, have their focus here. Beyond is the 
а which enjoys an uninter- 
rupted view of the lake; the drop-leaf 
table may be folded flat against the wall, 
for dancing, or opened to its full length 
for a buffet. Along the right wall of the 
dining area is a cabinet for china, glass- 
ware and other tableware. To the left of 
the dining area’s window wall is an open 
hooded brazier (backing it, on the lake- 
side patio, is an outdoor barbecue), and 
in the far corner of the room is the food 
bar which sets off the kitchen area. 

Between food bar and pool wall are 
twin chaises which, without being moved, 
can be converted to face lake or pool, or, 
with their backs dropped flat, form а dou- 
ble-bed-sized couch. Up a few steps on 
your left is the guest wing. down a few 
steps is the rec room, and four steps lead 
up from the right wall of the livingroom 
to the master's wing, a self-contained 
suite with sun deck, patio, lounging 
area, dressing area and divided bath. 

The livingroom's colors and textures 
are as sophisticated as those of any town 
house, yet blend perfectly with the hide- 
away's bucolic setting. Bright, hand- 
loomed throw rugs on the sand-colored 
composition floor are a provincial ac- 
cent of color. Translucent white draw 
curtains on a motorized track recessed 
into the ceiling may be drawn to temper 
the bright sun and bathe the room in 
lambent light. And there are full-length 
green drapes, complementing the buff- 
colored walls, oiled-walnut woodwork 
and white ceiling, which can close off all 
glass areas should you wish — at night or 
on a blustery day — to exclude the out- 
side completely. 


Now that we've had a general view, 


let's take a closer look at the hideaway 
and those special virtues which make it 
gracious, convenient, comfortable and — 
above all—a place which breathes ro- 
mantic excitement and relaxed good fun. 

Let’s say that you, as proud possessor 
of this bachelorly domain, have driven 
up from the city with your dinner com- 
panion on a Friday night; Saturday 
morning finds you stretching luxuriously 
in the master bedroom's huge double 
bed. You're expecting guests this morn- 
ing, but now you have time to appraise 
your own private quarters. The bed it- 
self, with its ample 54" x 96" size and 24” 
attached foot bench, is an island in the 
room, given its private setting by its L- 
shaped, oiled-walnut, 5-foot-high shield. 
You reach over to the bedside-table con- 
sole and press a button which slides back 
the motorized opaque drapes of rust-col- 
ored fiberglass which cover the five fixed 
glass panels of the wall facing the open 
side of the bed. Sunlight filtering through 
the full-length translucent glass curtains 
beneath the drapes now lights up the 
room. Another button draws back the 
drapcrics of the window wall facing the 
lake and a soft breeze stirring the water 
makes rippled reflections on the white 
ceiling. You rise, grab your robe from the 
valet chair (See “Quict Jeeves,” Page 41) 
at the foot of the bed, and stroll out onto 
the nautical-style sun deck for a morning 
look at the lake. Then back into the 
room, through the lounge area, and 
across the cocoa-brown wall-to-wall car- 
peting to the master bath. 

The bath, 16'x 24, also has sliding 
glass panels for its outside wall; privacy 
is assured by the vertical siding of red- 
wood which forms the outside walls of 
the master's wing and continues upward 
to enclose the flagged patio where you 
may enjoy an all-over sun bath in privacy. 
Dominant color of the bath is pale yel- 
low, with brown accents and a slate-gray 
tile floor. The blond primavera walls of 
the john also house storage cupboards; a 
panel opens to your touch revealing 
linen shelves from which you nab a 
towel. Once showered, you re-enter your 
тоот, proceed to the dressing area be- 
hind the bed shield, help yoursell to 
your duds for the day from the 18-foot 
storage wall which houses built-in draw- 
crs, shelves, closet space, and your own 
small bar. 

Dressed, now, you go downstairs and 
outdoors for a look around. The wood 
siding, the smooth masonry of the guest 
wing, the fieldstone lower section of the 
house, and the huge areas of glass give 
у a gleaming elegance in 
зип, And now the first cou- 
ple among your weekend guests is coming 
up the drive. You greet them and lead 
them to the guest room. It's a large room— 


28'x22'—with a glasswalled lounge 
area suspended over the pool, large bath 
with double lavatory on lake side, and its 
own рапозип deck with open beams (a 
continuation of the exposed oiled-wood 
ceiling beams) providing broken 5 
and support for a rolled awning. 
lead down from this patio to the pool. 
The large double bed which stands (гес 
in the room has its head backed by 
modular cabinets and chests of drawers 
and there is a large storage wall with all 
closet facilities. 

Soon other guests arrive and while the 
girls all go to do a spot of cooking, you 
take the men down to the rec room to 
show them the underwater windows fac- 
ing into the pool, the bar, the juke box, 
and the large circular card table where, 
from time to time, there are stag poker 
sessions that last almost the entire week- 
end. And then you go back upstairs to 
join the girls. 

Within a half hour they have brunch 
ready on а wheeled caddy beside the 307 
x 60° pool, Later, there's swimming in 
pool and lake, water skiing, somebody 
turns on the stereo rig, somebody else 
climbs to the roof deck for a nap — but 
mostly there is wonderfully indolent 
lolling around, indoors and out. 

At the cocktail hour your guests all 
come together again at poolside and 
the adjoining area of the livingroom. 
I's a cooler, less active part of the day. 
"Talk is animated as you and a very spe- 
cial partner leave the group, pause at 
the bar to pick up a drink, and go to 
the privacy of the master's wing to 
watch the sun set over the lake. Later, 
she may whip up a huge salad while you 
broil a steak and other guests sit at the 
bar to kecp you company and make you 
се! properly important. After dinner 
there are games in the rec room for the 
more sportsmanlike types, a bit of music 
and dancing for others, perhaps a moon- 
light boat ride or à moonlight swim in 
the lighted pool. And still later, when 
most of your guests for the day ћаус 
departed and you and the select few 
who will stay the weekend have seuled 
down around the fire, or are sprawled at 
case in your room, you have a little 
tune to realize what а wonderful hide- 
away is yours. There is intimate coziness 
when it’s wanted, there's ample room Гог 
a gay crowd, there's privacy and sociabil- 
ity, all to be had in the seclusion of your 
own weekend retreat. И may even cross 
your mind, as you bid goodnight to the 
gucstwing contingent and prepare а 
final potation to share with your chosen 
companion, that within these walls you 
аге, literally, an irresistible host.

rather carefully. She had both keys to 
their car in her possession and advised 
him to take a taxi someplace, away. She 
suggested that he use the opportunity 
to spend a whole night with Lenka 
Kuwaila and see how he liked it. She 
remarked that she did not care to speak 
with him at all and chat further dis 
cussions could be held through the inter- 
mediary of her lawyer. She gave him the 
lawyer's name and told him to look up 
the number himself, She paused belore 
saying goodbye and added, “I waited 
until you finished final exams and you 
won't have to face so many people over 
the summer. I thought that was pretty 
considerate of me." She had also left 
about five dollars in their joint checking 
account. 

He spent the night in confusion at a 
епа house. For the first time he felt 
exhausted by his secret lovemaking with 
Lenka: he had left her with her smell 
still on his hands and come back to this 
news; there was an ache in his loins and 
а triangle of lead in his belly. It turned 
out that his wife had exact information 
about his connection with Lenka, dates 
and times and other, terribly intimate 
details. When her lawyer confronted 
him, he dully submitted, cl 
agreed to everything. Си 
shock of his wife's action was his shock 
about the letters she had received. Lenka 
had simply recounted everything in tor 
menting detail, with obscene precision. 
He felt a lingering tenderness for his 
wife because of the jealousy she must 
have suffered, but whatever this secret 
sullering, it had now congealed to a 
buzzing. busy hatred and cold vengeful 
nes which deprived him even of his 
sympathy for her. He was stripped bare 

Lenka left for New York without see- 
ing him after his anguished telephone 
call to her: “Why? Why? Why did you 
have to do it that way, Lenka? Can't 
you sce how it destroys everything be 
tween us, even the past?” 

“I don't care about memories. Wh 
over means nothing. Over. You di 
want to do more than crawl through 
my window a couple times a week —

He stood shrugging at the telephone.

they were hanging up on. He went on 
shrugging; it was а nervous twitch, a 
shaking-off-the-burdens tic. 

Here we need not detail the pro-

longed anguish of a divorce when there 
is a child, when there has been a habit 
of suffering and also some distant mem- 
оту of joy (this only increases bitterness 
and determination to hurt). He survived 
in a rapture of numbness, like a mouse 
in a paw. His wife tried to set rules 
about visiting their child; he raged and 
cursed her. But finally he saw her coolly 
Írom a distance, he saw her as im- 
possible, for years she had been a step 
wife to him. He was grateful to Lenka 
lor the brutal surgery she had рег 
formed; the operation was bloody, but 
the patient survived. Things were ar- 
ranged about bis boy; he found a new 
job; he went to New York; a year 
passed. Where it went, Ве did not know, 
but now he considered himself а bril- 
liantly wise 22 years old. He had been 
21 when he married; Ше next. ycars 
were poisoned by enough misery so that 
he wanted to leave them out; his year 
of liberation made him now 22. This 
was mainly a joke, and he had a fresh 
sprout of gray hair in his thick cropped 
black thatch, but the world scemed to 
be on his side once more. 

He was hungry, he ate, he had enough 
money to invite girls for dinner. he ate 
voraciously, explaining everything, en- 
ticing them on long walks through New 
York, exciting them with his tourist's 
freshness of joy in the great city. He 
found a girl to join him in biting into 
an apple, sucking the sweet juice of it 
at dawn, finally kissing in good friend- 
ship and turning on their sides to sleep. 
Life went on with the freshness of the 
busy mornings and the hesitating night- 
falls of Manhattan. Не found а good 
job writing coy letters for a chain of 
magazines, the sort that are printed to 
look as if they are typed: "You may 
have neglected (о open our first bill. 
We know that you are a busy and suc 
cessful man, but remember! The work- 
man is worthy of his hire! And we here 
at Daytime Magazine consider our pub- 
lication . . ." He Вай no а 
cause of the responsibi 
but could afford taxis (the workman was 
worthy of his hire). He felt free. Не 
didn't even have а cold for two years 
after he separated from his wife: every 
change seemed to сше him of some 
thing. He threw away his bottle of 
aspirins. His married n of himself 
as a heavy, shaggy, weary buffalo, head 
low and muzzle hurt, gave way to an- 
other image—he was lean, his posture 
was good, he was an agile bucko. When 
his former wife remarried, his Last vestige 
of guilt disappeared. Free, free. He 


played badminton twice a week with a 
French girl who pronounced it "badd- 


told his friend. 

"You theenk too motch," she an- 
swered. 

So finally he decided to telephone 
Lenka, though his little. French friend 
advised him that this was as bad as 
thinking. Just curiosity about how she 
was making out, he promised himself. 
(“Don't be frightened, darling . . " And 
how she had buttered toast for 
making coffee on a hotplate. And the 
smell of her perfume when she had run

THE CRAFTY TAPESTRY MAKER 


A newly translated tale from the Heptameron of Marguerite, Queen of Navarre 


х тойну, there once lived а man who 

was a tapestry maker to the late Duke 
of Orleans, son of King Francis the 
First. Some years before, he had married 
а woman who possessed both honor and 
property, Having taught ber to obey 
and to trust him in all things, he lived 
most peacefully and. prosperously. 

But in addition to his great love for 
his wife, this man was so kind and 
charitable that he often tre 
neighbors wives he did ће У 
but always secretly, as befits this type 
of philanthropy. Moreover, he finally 
became infatuated with a servant. girl 
of his wife's. Fearing that his wife might 
notice this new interest of his, he pre- 
tended to scold the servant often, saying 
that she was the laziest creature he had 
ever seen, and told his wife that what 
the maid needed most in this world was 
а sound beating. 

Now it is the custom of the French, 
who indeed have many strange customs, 
that on Childermas, or Innocents’ Day. 
anyone who is caught lying abed is given 
ing. So the tapestry maker 
said to his wife that they should take 
this opportunity to give the servant girl 
а good beating and encourage her to be 
more industrious, 

"But" he added, "she must not re- 
ceive the р from your hand: for 


it is too weak and your heart too tender. 
IL 1 do this myself wc shall certainly ge 
better service from her than we do now 

‘The poor wife, who contradicted her 
husband in nothing. urged him to per- 
form the decd, for she had not the cour- 
age nor the strength to do it herself. The 
tapestry maker gladly undertook the 
commission. So that his wife would know 
he did not intend to spare the maid, he 
purchased the stoutest switches he could 
find, and soaked them in bri 

When the Day of the Innocents ar- 
rived, the tapestry maker arose carly, 
the switches with him, Ве 
pper chamber where 
the servant girl was still lying in her 
bed. There he had at her. Not with 
the switches, as he had told his wile. 
but with an entirely different weapon 
which he likewise chanced to have ready 
for the occasion. 

‘The girl gave a very small shriek of 
surprise, but this did not stay him from 
his deed. Then, fearing lest his wife 
become suspicious, the tapestry maker 
began to strike the mattress most vigor 
ously with his switches, until they were 
all broken. Afterward he descended and 
showed them to his wife, saying, "I 
believe, my dear, that your servant will 
long remember this Childermas Day." 

Soon the girl, more in fear of losing 


“I wish my husband would do that to you oftener

and cast herself at the 
Your husband,” she began, 
“has treated те most shamefully. Не 
has done the greatest wrong ever done 
to a poor servant, and thereby he has 
wronged you as well.” 

But the loyal wife, assuming the girl 
meant to complain of the switching she 
had received, interrupted. “My husband 
has done nothing that I disapprove of. 
Actually, 1 have been suggesting that he 
do this for a month now. So if you аге 
unhappy you may blame me, and not 
my husband. In fact I am sure he was 
more lenient than he should have been.”

LA ВАКВА (THE BEARD) is what the citizens 
of Seville called the world's only whis- 
kered bullfighter, Shel Silverstein. Gags 
about La Barba of Seville would seem in 
order, but these would tend to tarnish 
the glamor and dignity of the noble 
corrida tradition, so we will refrain. Bc- 
fore matching wits with el toro, Shel 
trained for a month at the ranch of 
Count Maza, just outside Seville. His in- 
structors were Tito Palacios and John 
Short, both bullfighters of note, the 
latter a compatriot of Silverstein's. After 
mastering such intricate passes as the 


veronica, the chicuelina and the goa- 
пета, Shel donned the resplendent suit 
of lights, strode majestically through the 
gates of fear and faced the bull in the 
formal dance of death, “After that bout, 
I was known as El Corazón del Pollo,” 
Shel says, insisting that it means The 
Lion-Hearted even when we opened our 


Spanish dictionary and showed him that _ 


pollo means “chicken.” Did Shel kill the 
bull? “No,” he admits, “but on the other 
hand, the bull didn’t kill me. 1 still have

"Fire!" 

And Number Four Gun thundered

The other section chiefs were already

your appointment as a sergeant has

You motherless little crud, Cagliano 
thought, you haven't called me sergeant 
since we got you and you wouldn't do 
it even when уоште busting me. You 
must have sat up all night thinking just 
how to say it. Well, I never called you 
sir, either. Just captain. 

“I hope the rest of you men realize 
what this means," the captain said. For 
effect, he put his hands behind him and 
strutted solemnly to the tent door and 
gazed out at the titanic upward sweep 
of Montecatini Alto and its neighboring 
peaks, which looked like an angry stone 
ocean when you were on top of one. 

The captain whirled around. 

"Now if there's a man here that don't 
like it let him tell me so right to my 
face.” 

They only returned his stare, each one 
expressionless, soldierly 

"This damn man here has been a bone 
of contention in my craw since I took 
over this outfit,” the captain said. “He 
don’t want to toe the mark. He don't 
think I know how to handle soldiers 


He wants to wipe their noses for them. 
He don't deserve to wear a gun ser 
geant's stripes. Sergeant Burk! I want 
you to read off the charges against this

Burk cleared his throat. “Captain, sir,” 
he said, “with all due respect, sir, 1 just 
posted all them charges on the bulletin 
board and 1 don't see —" 

“I don't see, Sergeant Burk, where the 
first sergeant gets off putting no inter- 
pretations on my orders,” the captain 
said. 

1t's not that, sir," Burk said 

"Then what is it? Maybe you don't 
think I should bust a man if I think he 
should be busted. Maybe you think 1 
ought to ask you first. Is that it, Ser- 
geant” 

Burk gave in. “All right, sir,” he said, 
and took one of the quadruplicates from 
his To BATTALION box. "Dereliction of 
duty; insubordination; failure to ob. 
serve military courtesy; appropriation of 
a military vehicle for unauthorized 
uses; fraternization with the enemy." 

“What's that?” Gagliano said. "What's

“You will remain at attention, sol

sociable evening with a couple of girls 
and their mothers, Captain —" 

“A bunch of whores.” the captain said 
“What decent girl would go out with 
some bum soldicr who just stole some 
government property?” 

"I admit that. Captain,” Gagliano 
said. “If you're busting me for takin 
the weapons carrier, I admit 1 took it 
without no authorization. But the god 

is them jerries, not the 
n people.” 
sir,” Burk said. “A word in 
sir?” They stepped outside into 
the blasting Italian sunlight 

‘With all due respect, Captain," Burk 

“you can't make that charge stick 
and it'll only look bad if you try, sir 
1 know the colonel won't like it” 

‘Sergeant Burk,” the captain said, “if 
I didn't need you like I need my two 
hands here, ГА rip the stripes right olf 
your arm. Are you gonna stand in my 
way here too or are you gonna help me 
do my job and make soldiers out of this 
bunch of eight-balls?" 

“With all due respect, sir,” Burk said, 
showing no reaction at all, “any punk 
second lieutenant could knock the props 
right out from under a dumbbell charge 
like that if he was Gagliano's counsel, 
sir. И I might speak right out, зи?" 

"Well? 

“Thank you, sir. With all duc respect, 
sir, I'm just uying to save you from 
looking like a horse's ass. 

The captain looked as if Burk had 
slapped him. 

“АШ right, Sergeant,” he said. “Elimi 
nate that charge against him. But I want 
that whole busting order typed over 
gain, all five copies including the on 
on the bulletin board there. Rip it oll." 

"Yes, sir,” said Burk, ripping it off 
the buckboard and crumpling it. “It's 
all right. Battalion don't know anything 
bout the case yet, sir. Т hope the Сар 
tain won't take nothing I say personally, 
sir. It's my job as the first sergeant to 
advise you —" 

Don't you tell me the duties of a 
fist sergeant!” the captain snapped 
"Don't you think I know what a first 
sergeant’s supposed to do: 

"Yes, sir,” Burk said. "I know you рог 
a tough job here, 1 just want to help 
you win the confidence and respect of

tain, these men been together since this

The captain smiled. 

“I don't want that man on the guns

“Yeah, 1 know.” Burk

Burk stepped out into the roadway 
and addressed the convoy. 

"All you men riding on Captain Bark-

"Oh, no," said the captain. “Let Gag.

Burk waited until all the men were 
mounted up. Then be climbed up beside 
Gagliano, leaned out and waved his fist 
in a circle. The engines bellowed into 
life. Gagliano let out the clutch and led 
the lurching, behemoths over the bumpy 
driveway of the ammo dump to High- 
way 65.

ride one of them log trucks. Man, you 
pucker up all over. The camp was up in 
the mountains and we hauled the logs 
down a road just like this, into town. 


"Watch the speed, Gag," Burk said. 
“I seen a couple of guys who got into 
accidents.” Gagliano said. "You know 


what them logs did? The chains couldn't 
hold them. They just smashed right into 
the cab and squashed them guys as flat 
hamburger.” 

"Hey Gag. for Christ's sake 
easy." Burk said 

"One day there 1 told the boss my

said? He said fine, then you'll just get 
there all the faster. And he give me 
а 50-dollar bonus, Well, you remember 
what и was like in '36. You'd do а lot 
more than that for 50 bucks.” 

Gag. goddam it! Slow down!" 

In the side mirror Gagliano saw that 

the captain was right on his tail, but the 
other trucks were still lar up the moun- 
tain, making a slow, cautious descent. 
Now their truck was lurching like a toy 
being thpped by a giant hand. 
You really learned to handle а truck 
on them mountains" Gagliano said. 
Burk gritted his teeth and braced his 
inst the fire wall 

Ahead of them was a sharp turn at 
whose apex was nothing — nothing but 
the map of north Italy, the little Farms 
making a cra quilt. pattern of. color 

"Now you take a turn like that down 
there,” iano said, "with a load in 
back of you, good driver, he'll know 
just how to handle it..." and swiltly, 
he geared the hurtling monster down to 
more power and gunned the tuck for 
all it was worth as they entered the turn. 

The engine snarled as if it were alive 
and the tuck yawed sickeningly but 
the increased speed made the tires bite 
surely into the pavement and a hundred 
yards beyond the curve Gagliano’s hands

He sat back and listened, а dreamy

And then, far, far below them. they 
heard an explosion that sounded like all 
the guns on the front firing at once 

"Now a driver who don't know noth- 
ing." Gagliano said, "on a turn like that 
hc loses his head and listens to his im- 
pulses, and his impulses say step on the

Who's the 

“traffic cop” 

in your stereo 
cartridge E 


A stereo record “stores” two sepa- 
rate sounds in its grooves, A 
single needle picks up both. How 
to separate them? Sonotone de- 
signed a pantagraph yoke for its 
“8T” ceramic steren cartridge. It 
acts like а traffic cop to direct the 
two sounds on their proper routes. 

The pantagraph yoke (a Sono- 
tone exclusive) gives wider sepa- 
ration of channels for superior 
stereo sound. It assures equal mit- 
put level from both sound chan- 
nels. Cartridges without this yoke 
often have unbalanced output... 
poor slereo sound. 

Sonotone's "traffic cop" is one 
more reason why you'll hear the 
difference when you get Sono- 
tone’s ceramic stereo cartridge. 
Prices of Sonotone stereo car- 
bridges sttirt al only $6.45 (includ- 
ing mounting brackets).

It's the specialties pays off now. When

Frank was thinking: she called it The 
Life. 

"She's just an unusually stacked chick 
is all I meant,” Larry said out of pity 
lor his friend's troubled frown. He took 
the black line between the eyes for 
jealousy, when everyone but а hipster

the bending body, dressing with her

ай remember ‘Tommy Dorsey. Here, to keep 
that happy memory alive, are his last re- 
cordings, made during the all-too-brief period 
when he shared the bandstand with his 
brother Jimmy. This album and Columbia's 
recent set “Ihe Fabulous Dorseys in Hi-Fi’? 
are splendid examples of what the best of 
the big bands could do,

thought of Lenka, though she was a 
part of his blood, his suspicions, and his 
tenderness with girls, and when he 
found himself liking a girl, he found 
himself reminded of Lenka's ways — 
tilted chin, curve of back, lazy easy 
dancer's walk. He now found onc whom 
he liked very much and he was about 
to try marriage again, with hope. Settled 
in New York, his telephone number was 
in the book. And Lenka looked it up 
and called. 

She asked if he would meet her. It 
was important. He agreed and named 
places, but to cach she said, “Мо, not 
there. I don’t make that scene.” Finally 
she said, “Home all afternoon.” 

He was embarrassed. “Look, I'd rather 
meet you someplace сіс. How about 
under the Washington Square arch? 

"Well Christ Almighty," she said.

expertly replaced, and apart Пот а 
peculiar stiffness of her lace, the cau- 
tiousness of fatigue, she was a girl to 
make men turn around, shake their 
heads, and ask themselves if maybe 
they strolled; she talked vaguely of 
having broken with the Wazuli — "and 
all that scene, you know, man" — and 
trying to write. 

“How are you making a living?" 

“I said I write, man." 

“You're publishing things? What?" 

"D wrote that article on hypnotism 
you know." (He did not know — how 
could he?) “You know I left it there at 
that magazine. I never read the maga
