He came home early that after
noon. She had been crying. It was
not difficult to see. that she had
been. Here eyes were red and
there were still tears in them.
When he walked in, he saw the
surprise on her face.
Usually he didn't come home
early, but today he had. Usually
she didn't cry, but things were
different between them lately.
They never mentioned that they
were, but they both knew.
There was nothing frightening
about their differences now as
there had been when they were
first married. Especially him, k
had frightened him the most, but
now it didn't. Both tolerated it and
things went on the same as they
had before except, of course, for
the feeling between them.
She got up quickly from the desk
where she was sitting. The smile
on her face was false. He knew
that, but it didn't matter to him.
He even smiled back.
"You've been crying."
"No, I wasn't, " she said quickly.
"How was your day?"
"All right. Why were you cry
ing?" "Really, I wasn't."
She hurried out to the kitchen
to do some invented task. It was
her method of escape. He knew
that also and followed her.
"Were you busy today?" she
asked. Even to her the attempt
'to divert what they knew would
come seemed feeble.
"You were crying! Why?" He
noticed that she had washed the
kitchen curtains. She never worked
that hard unless she were upset
or angry.
"I wasn't crying," she said half
laughingly. He became Impatient.
"I know you have been. What's
the matter?" She dodged around
him and went into the bedroom.
Again he followed.
"Nothing! I can't tell you."
"You can tell me. What is it?"
"I can't! You'd hate me."
They were silent for a few mo
ments. She staredat the wall and
lie watched her,
"I. hate it!" she said finally. "I
hate you for it, but it's all true.
It's all true . . ." her words dis
solved in her tears. She was cry
ing hard. The man moved to touch
her.
"Don't!" she said, pulling away.
"Leave me alone."
The man sat motionless on the
bed. Her hate was spreading slowly
Into his soul. He could feel the
the painful thrust in the pit of
his stomach.
For a ntflment he seemed de
tached from what was happening.
She just sat there sobbing. He
was silent.
Everything seemed to be crum
bling away. He thought about that,
but now it was unimportant. He
was powerless to stop it.
They sat there like that for a
little while then she said, "Jim?"
Ha didn't bother to look at her.
' I'm going away for a month." It
all fell on him. He couldn't under
stand why.
"You're not going." He must not
let her leave.
' I am! It will be better if I do."
She walked back to the kitchen.
He waited and then got up and
went into the living room. She had
the upper hand. He knew it.
He sat silent for a long time.
Even when she spoke to him, he
didn't answer. Finally she came
in from the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing."
"There is!"
He didn't answer. He felt aloof
from her and it amazed him.
He regained some of his strength
and stood tip and walked across
the room away from her. Suddenly
the was clinging to him and crying.
"I love you. I da love you." She
was almost incoherent. He didn't
ay anything, but simply held her.

APOLOGY
"Look for me tomorrow
And you will find a grave
man."
Romeo & Juliet
Would I heed the fresh
tomorrow
And ignore the ripe today?
Would I leave the maid I'm
kissing
If another passed my way?
If you wonder that about me,
You've not passed my way to
see
Except . . . today.
When you met me just this
morning,
Was my laugh a little loud?
Had I drunk a bit too freely?
Was I floating on a cloud?
Not just wine will make one
tipsy
If the soul is half a gypsy,
And unbowed.
Not content with what I'd
captured,
Of the purse or of the heart,
fleeting . . .
Never kept myself apart.
If you'll ask the wind its
blowing
It may tell you where I'm
going
With my art.
Thus I've sought the far
horizons,
As a robin seeks the Spring;
Loosed the bird from out my
pocket
Just to chase it on the wing!
And I've fought with saucy
windmills,
Savored swords and labored
quills
On the thing!
So, you know me now, you're
thinking!
An adventure seeking knave:
Always wooing brawls and
maidens,
Ever fanciful and brave!
Well, though that was all
exquisite,
What I've sought is . . .
infinite?
Do I rave?
Well, I've shaped my soul
through action
And engaged my life to it . . .
That I've helped the moment's
panting
Iwill shun not to admit.
And the treasures I found
lovieliest
I have locked within my
chest
All that lit!
Please don't think that I was
selfish,
Do not hold my reason light:
For the sparks that I have
garnered
Now must light me through
the night.
No sunlight smiles upon the
grave,
Be one martyr-saint ... or
knave!
So bright!

How to Take a Bath
By Connie Berry
Everytine 1 read a magazine
anymore, it is filled with "How to
do it yourself" articles. Now that
is all right in itself, but the sad
thing about this fact is that all
of the articles deal with projects
that no normal American would
think of doing himself.
So I have decided to write a
helpful article on a prominent sub
ject. One of the most popular sports
in America today is bathing. Why
it is so popular, I do not know. But
I have, through unlimited research,
found a set of rules to be followed
in order to enioy this sport to
the fullest.
First, in bathing as well as in
any other game, there must be
organization. One must plan what
he is going to do and then do it.
I suggest turning on the water.
That is done by turning the han
dles placed on the tub to either
the left or right, whichever way
they may go.
Next, while the water is running,
gather together all the necessary
equipment. Among the things that
one will find useful in bathing are
plastic animals, a radio, a book,
several brushes, any clothing that
needs to be washed, soap, a wash
cloth and a towel.
By this time the tub should be
about half full You may turn the
water off now if you so desire.
This is done by turning the han
dles in the opposite way in which
they were turned on.
You are now ready to enter the
tub. First, remove all unnecessary
clothing. Next, test the water tem
perature, preferably with the big
toe, but if your middle toe is longer
it may be used instead.
Assuming that the water is
neither too hot or cold, I suggest
that it is time to place the little
plastic animals in the water. Now
arrange your radio arid ' book in
a convenient place near the tub
where you can reach them easily.
The last thing to do is to place
your brushes, soap, cloth, and
yourself in the tub. Do not take the
towel in with you It is to be used
! later.
Now that you are in the tub, it
is time for relaxation. Onemay.
play with his little plastic" toys
(my father suggests little pink
and blue duck as he enjoys these
the most), listen to the radio, read
the book, and if there is time,
use the washcioth, soap, and
brushes, rubbing them vigorously
over the body.
You may remain in the tub as
long as you like, providing, of
course, that you aren't the type
of person who likes to stay in one
place indefinitely. As a rule, how
ever, it is not necessary to bathe
over two hours at one sitting.
Upon getting out of the tub, be
sure to put ail your bathing uten
sils in their propei places, leaving
the towel to the last. By this time,

if your body is not completely dry,
you may use your towel. Then fold
it, the towel, carefully and put it
away.
If you follow all of these rules
closely and carefully, I assure you
that you will get as much enjoy
ment as any other person fn. ; the
All-American sport, bathing.

upon a lathe
while
ponderous pounding presses
shape sections of stubborn
steel, then with
rubber, plastic, cloth, and
leather,

inventive men, mechanically,
using bolts, screws, rivets, and
weld,
integrate the parts
into a hulking whole
and Shapiro's Buick is born.

FOUR ACTS IN TWO MINUTES
(a travesty)
Ellie Guilliatt
(A note to the reader: This play in
an outgrowth of the author's long
and exhaustive study of that branch
of contemporary literary expres
sion known as cult intelligentsia
obscurus, which was begun as an
aftermath of an overdose of Stein
beck, Hemingway, et al.
It deals symbolically with three
characters who are completely un
aware of each other until the final
act, placing them in an allegory
which deals, in its essence, with
a passionate comment on life in
a hair dressing salon.)
ACT I
SPRIDGET: (enters five feet
above stage floor suspended
from a pully. This denotes ex
treme ecstasy or acute gastric
acidity.)
What ho! Lo. I have found
that the incredible credulity of
all spoken thought is . . .
BISPO: (from behind twig stage
right)
Humus, humus,, do perfumus.
(Bispo is a nature lover and
should be costumed with only
the bare necessity.)
SPRIDGET . . . Beyond compre
hension. Give us, therefore, a
song.
THEREFORE: (enters through a
trap door in the stage floor).
Be-bop, re-bop, cock-a-doodle
do.
Author's note: It would be well to
pause here and concentrate upon
identifying one's self with the
characters. Explicitly, Spridget is
the female character, Bispo the
male, and Therefore is a transition
character.)
BISPO: The intervention of trans
cendention is futile!
ACT II
(Setting is the same as Act I.
The time is shortly after midnight
on all Saint's Day.)

with a popsicle in his hand)
