sues of OOnnan reunification and Xuropaah defense had
bbth been kicked under the table for resurrection at the

Bulganin had once more repeated the threadbare Soviet
formula for disarmament — of other nations, when the
meeting seemed hopelessly fouled up and rapidly dtsinte-

sians have it!

But will they dare to reject It? If they turn it dawn, their

When Time is For Sate
A box of groceries representing the average housewife’s
weekly food purchases might not at first glance seem par-
ticularly representative of progress. But A comparison Of
a similar selection of groceries of It25 vintage would quick-
ly reveal' changes and advances little short of revolution-
ary. Fresh fruits and vegetables once obtainable only in
season from local growers are now universally available
the year round at reasonable prices. Our high speed dis-
tribution system and the use of refrigeration have all but
eliminated seasonable influence eh food supplies.
in addition to greater food variety and quality, to-
day’s heueewife can buy another priceless commodity at
her locil fOOd store—and that is tifne. In 111$, it took 6
1-2 hours to prepare a day’s food for a family of four. Us-
ing the great variety of highly processed modern fOOdx
now available, the same job ean be done in l 4-10 hour*.
One of the newer additions to the froaen food line are com-
plete dinners, with ail the trimmings, prepared and ready
to eat—just heat and serve.
Groceries have changed a lot in tha past thirty years
And so have the stores which make them available to us.
From the standpoint of quantity and sheer overwhelming
variety of quality foods, the modern super merket has be-
come a veritable Pandora's box of culinary delights, tver-
present active competition makes the lowest possible price
the only one charged by up and coming merchants—profit
margins often running as low or even lower than l l-t
cents per dollar of sales.
An hour’s take-home pay Will buy much more of near-
ly eVery kind of food now than it would In 1425. The aver-
age person eats more and better now than In those days
and'it still costs the same 25 per cent of his income. A box
of groceries is hot as spectacular as the latest Jet aircraft

gress.

CUve’a face was harder than the
had ever seen it before. "Will you
tell me Just what happened ?
Everything ?”
It Waa a relief to talk to Clive,
Bdra waa careful to tell her tale
concisely, marshalling all the facts

said at the and. "D^ea that sound

“No. It sounds much more seri-

paced to the window and turned to
face her again.
“What could be more serious
than insanity?”
“Grime.” He spoke slowly. "This
becomes fascinating. Rather like a
problem tan chess. The various pos-
sible combinations.”
“I see only one," retorted Sara.
When Gerry disappeared, an im-
postor took his place, because the
impostor believed Gerry had hid-
den the ruby in his apartment or
his office.”
"And why hasn't the real Gerry
munaaked the impostor yet?’’
“Maybe he wants to give the
eolt enough rope.”
Clive’s keen eyes glittered in the
lamplight. “My dear, are you
tough-minded of tender-minded?”
*T hope William James would
class me with the tough-minded,
though rm sure Mickey Spillane
would not*
“Are you strong enough to stand
one more shock this evening? a
shock that may bring you the final
truth about this whole matter?”
“Altar so muck doubt and un-
eartainty any truth would be a re-
haf, however shocking.”
“Algebraic problems are often
salved by inversion. Try inverting
this business of Gerry Hone.
Bara's brows bent tn thought.
"How?"
‘There waa an impostor who did
impersonate Gerry (ions Your

were less ’’slickyvslieky” than

one else, but you, etoutly main-
tained."
Bara’s head was ringing as if
•he hod received a physical blow.
But when the diwnness waned all
tha facts began to click into their
The impersonation had lasted
only a few minutes. No successful
impersonation could last much
lohger in real life. Yesterday the
new glasses she had got were only
two days old, making everything
brighter and clearer. Anything
about the false Gerry that she had
never noticed before ir. the real
Gerry—like the moles—she would
attribute subconsciously to the new
glasses. When the real Gerry ap-
peared, she saw him clearly for
the first time in her lile through
the new glasses. Of course, that
made him look unfamiliar and she
knew instantly that he was not
the same man she had seen in the
10-cent store the day before.
And the voice? The real Gerry
was hoarse with a bad cold the
last few times they were together
before the impersonation. If the
false Gerry’s voice sounded a little
deeper and clearer at first, she
would think he had simply got
over his cold. But when the real
Gerry returned, without any
hoarseness, she would notice how
high and light his voice sounded
in contrast to the other Gerry and
it would seem a further proof of
impersonation.
“Why?” Her voice was a broken
whisper. “Why did he want me to
think he was Gerry Hone when we
met in the 10-cent store?”
“He didn’t plan it that way,” re
turned Clive. “Remember how it
happened? You saw him before
he saw you It was you who hailed
him first. It was you who ad-
dressed him as Gerry.
"He knows instantly that you
have mistaken him for his old
stand-in. The name Gerry is clue
enough, for only one other man
resembles nim so closely. He is
after Moxon’s ruby. It’s already in
your hand and you’re probably go-
ing to buy it. He can’t snatch it
and run because of the crowd. If
he responds to your hail by saying,
’You’ve made a mistake. I’m not
Gerry Hcne, I’m Mark Clifford,'
he will lose touch with you and
the ruby immediately. He’s quick-
witted. As all this flashes through
his mind, he smiles as if he knew
you He's already decided to let
you go on thinking he’s Gerry for
a tew moments.
“Then hs sees the tag on your
typewriter with your name and
address. He recognises it as Hone's
address, too. Perhapa the ‘Sara’ is
written indistinctly, but he can t
say ’Miss Dacre’ when you're call-
ing him ’Gerry.’ So he says ’Dacre’
—all very debonair and pleasantly
familiar. Wasn’t It the first time
Gerry Hone had ever called you
Deere?"
"So it was. ...” Sara’s voice fal-
tered. "An* the ‘Sara’ is blurred
on the tag. . . . But he spoke of
Aunt Caroline as If he knew all
about her. He characterized her as
the sort who lays down rules for
what the well-dressed young girl
should wear.”
"Did you mention her first ?”
"1 believe I mentioned her sap-
phires when we were looking at
the junk jewelry.”
“Sapphires would characterize
her as wealthy. ’Aunt’ suggests
age and old-fashioned manners.
You had characterized her for him
already."
’He slipped on one detail. He
said something about her having
Helen McCloy—
“He urged you to buy the ruby,”
went on Clive. "And then offered
to carry the box. He suggested go-
ing to the Automat because a
crowded cafeteria would be the
best place to give you the slip. He
installed you at a table and van-
ished into the crowd, ostensibly to
get coffee, actually to get away
from you with the ruby in his
pocket before you had a chance to
discover that he was not Gerry
Hone.
‘‘He knew he couldn’t hope to
play the role of Gerry Hone for
any length of time without saying
some hing inconsistent that would
make you suspicious. He waiked
out the side door believing he had
the ruby in his pocket. The box
was there and he had every reason
to think the ruby was still in the
box.
“You would never have seen him
again if he had really had the
ruby. But when he found the
empty box and realized you could
have taken the ruby while - was
getting change, he had to come
back to you. He must have been
surprised when once again you
greeted him as Gerry. Until then
he would assume you had sought
an explanation from the rea) Ger-
ry by that time and so discovered
the imposture. You made explana-
tion easy when you informed him
that Since his disappearance an im-
postor was taking his place as
Gerry Hone. All he had to do then
was to play along with the ex-
planation you had Invented for
him. He told you about the resem-
b’ance between Hone and Clifford
because he had to give some sub-
stance to the .dea of impersonation
if you were to go on believing in
it He didn't tell you that he him-
self was Clifford because he didn’t
want to alienate you then by ad-
mitting he had played a trick on
you. He needed your good-will be-
cause he wanted to get the ruby
from you."
Why was he in Gerry’s apart-
ment that evening and how did he
get in, if he wasn't Gerry him-
self?”
Didn’t you say the real Gerry
left his keys in his letter box in an
envelope with one corner sticking
out through the slot? Clifford
could have used those keys and re-
placed them afterward. That was
when he left his fingerprints m
Gerry's apartment. He went there,
of course, to wait for the thief who
had stolen the empty box. When
that thief found the box he had
stolen empty, he would go straight
to Gerry Hone’s apartment, if he
believed that Clifford was Hone
and that Hone still had the ruby.
He would believe both those things
if he heard you address Clifford as
•Gerry Hone’ and saw the boxed
ruby go ifito Clifford's pocket.”
“But why would Clifford want ta
see that thief?"
“Because Clifford didn’t have the
ruby and didn’t suspect then that
you had taken it. The thief wss
the only person who might be able
to tell him if there was anyone
else in the crowd who knew about
the ruby, and who had had a
chance to take it.”
"Suppose the real Gerry had
been there?”

•JVTEW YORK—An intelligent man, on a stepmii:?
1Y July day in New York, surrounds hi; "Cf
with cool and pretty women. So you pick up K y
Norton, a brunet fitting the description, and ta ;i
under the East river to Brooklyn to watch a few
scenes being shot for the movie Patterns, which
Jed Harris and Mike Myerberg are producing from
the raved-over TV show. Miss Norton, a young but
skilled tub-thumper, steers you around the com-
pact sound stags and explains to you the important
thing* about the picture, such as there being on
hand a crew member whose job it is to nutke worm-
holes in furniture. "As a matter of fact,” Mi s
Norton lay*, “he ia a twin, and his (twin also has a
Job making worm-holes in movie furniture. You
dqn’t believe me, do you?” You just smile loftily.
This i* a major film being filmed in its entirety
in New York, and you ait and watch 31-year-
Id Fielder Cook, the director, pulling the strings of ttiis million-
ollar production—and wonder how he came so far so quickly. Ho
looks as if he should be catching passes for Princeton behind the goal
line.
You talk briefly to Mike Myerberg, the slim, tired-looking show-
business genius, and discover he looks like a twin of Horace Wade,
the racing secretary it Gulfstream Park. You watch Van Heflin's
stand-in sitting for long stretches at a desk, with hot lights beating
down on him. “Hla name is BUI Dyer," Miss Norton says, “and ho-
wanted so much to com* and b* Van'* stand-in here—he’s been doing
it for years in California—that he paid his own expenses.”
The amiable Heflin finishes a 200-foot bit of shooting with Ed Beg-
ley and then comes over, mopping perspiration from his forehead.
It’s been a long time since he’s been in New York for any long stretch
and you tell him how good he was 15 years ag6—fifteen years f
—on Broadway in The Philadelphia Story. He’ll be on Broadway this
autumn, too. The day shooting ends on Patterns, he goes into rehear-
sal with th* new Arthur Milter play. “Town hasn’t changed much,” '
he saya philosophically. “A few new cartoons on the walls of Sardi s,
and maybe a delicatessen where a playhouse was. that's all. I can't
tell you if life in the Stork or 21 has changed. I'm not d Stork or 21
type.”
• • • *
YOU COME BACK from Brooklyn, always relieved at making tha
return journey without getting lost, and head for a 45lh street chop-
house. where you find another cool and pretty woman. This would bo
Mis* Shere* North, a blonde, who is due to hit it big in How to Be
Very,'Very Popvlar, and seems in line foe all the Marilyn Monroe
parts now that Miss M. is circling The Brothers Karamazov warily.
"Waddya want to know?” Mis* North asks cheerfully. "Ask me any-
thing. I'm a big atar, now. Very big star.” She grins and you know
you have come to th* right place.
It develops that Sheree is a big jazz fan, and you trade talk about
the wonderful piano of Count Bill Btaie, and this new saxophonist
Paul Diamond, with the Brubeck outfit, and she defends the new pro-
gressive musicians from your sniping. "They don’t hyp you or blow
you down with a lot of phony discord,” says Mis* North, whose gentle
speech ia a'happy mixture of Broadway, show business and jazz
joints. “They work real hard at some of their stuff. I go to places
like Shorty Rogers' and The Hague out on the coast all the time, and
I even get my non-Jaaa friends to appreciate it These progressive
boys are very earnest young men.”

SO YOU EVENTUALLY ask Miss North what she thinks of Miss
Monroe and she plays it cagey and says she doesn't know the girl but
doesn't think she leoki Uke her at all. “We'v* probably got some-
