The fact that it was about twice the size of his own
establishment seemed to add fuel to his agitation.

Tht Meeting of the Banks
and Dumtanj
In the days that followed the
Dunstan's Invitation to a get-ac-
' qualnted Sunday dinner, Mr, Banks
1 showed au tne symptoms oi a
3 debutante about to be introduced
at Buckingham Palace. On Sun
day morning he dressed carefully
' in a sport coat and slacks, then
1 went upstairs after breakfast and
I changed Into a business suit. He
Insisted on starting half an hour
earlier than was necessary Just to
allow for a blowout or something.
The result was that they arrived
; In East Smlthfleld shortly after
twelve.
Mr. Banks said he'd be damned
If he was going to sit and moon
at the Dunstans' for an hour.
"IH bet they won t even have a
drink before dinner," he said gloom
ily. "Well, suppose they don't. You're
Dot an alcoholic, are you?"
Mr. Banks sighed and didn't pur
sue the argument.
"I think It might be more In
telligent to' find out where the
Dunstans live Instead of driving
around aimlessly," said Mrs. Banks.
"At least we won't end up by being
late."
"111 bet It's a shack," said Mr.
Banks.
When they finally located it the
Dunstan shack turned out to be a
' large, whitewashed brick house sur
rounded by old elm trees. The dis
covery that it was at least twice
the size of his own seemed to add
fuel to Mr. Banks' agitation. He
looked at his watch.
"I'm going back to that hotel we
passed and wash up." he announced
"Nonsense," said Mrs. Banks.
You can wash at the Dunstans'.
They probably have running water."
"I prefer to wash at the hotel,"
aid Mr. Banks with dignity. She
sensed that this was not the time
to cross him.
When they drew up in front of
the hotel he did not suggest that
she get out. but hurried through
the revolving doors. On his re
turn, ten minutes later, it was
obvious that he was more com
posed. The Interior of the sedan
Immediately took on the Saturday
night odor of a bar-and-grlll.
"Stanley Banks, you've been
drinking."
Mr. Banks did not take his eves
off the road ahead. "Why is it,"
he asked, "that a person can't take
a casual drink without being ac
cused of 'drinklni!'?"
"I think it's perfectly outrageous
for you to meet the Dunstans smell
ing like an old whlskv bottle.
What in the world's gotten into
you?" Mrs. Banks was still being
difficult when they turned In at
me Dunstans' entrance.
The first meeting of In-laws Is
comparable to the original hookup
oi me iiewis ana uiark Expedition
wivn uie nocny Mountain Indians.
For a brief moment after the en
counter both sides stared nt one
anotner with mingled hostility and
curiosity. During that Instant
Mrs. Banks took Inventory of Mrs
Dunstan from hair-do to shoes
Mrs. Dunstan did Uie same for
Mrs. Banks. Then, finding evcrv
thinir mutually satlsfnctarv. thev
approached one another with out'-
stretcned arms, enbraced and said
"Mv dear."
The two males merely shook
hands awkwardly and snld In
unison. "It certainly is nice to
meet you."
Mrs. Dunstan started to lead the
way into the living room.
"I can't tell you how crazy we
are auout your K.ay, said Mrs,
Dunstan.
"Well, that's Just the way we feel
"Yes, Indeed." said Mr. Banks.
Obviously something was callfrf for
As far as he was concerned that
teemed about all there was to be
aid. He would have been quite

Journ.
The situation was saved by the
appearance of a maid with a shaker
lull oi martinis and a tray oi
hot hors d'oeumes. Mr. Banks
looked at this arrangement with
pleased incredulity.
He took a martini and found it
excellent. "I think we should drink
to the bride and groom, said Mr.
Dunstan. Mr. Banks drank deeply
and relaxed like a deflating bal
loon. Mr, Dunstan refilled the
glasses.
Warmed by this unexpected hos
pitality and his previous wash-up
at the hotel, Mr. Banks felt Im
pelled to words. "This Is an Im
portant occasion," he said. "My
wife and I have been looking for
ward to it for a long time. Per
sonally I thought your son was a
great fellow the moment I set eyes
on him. Now that I've met his
father and mother I like him even
better. From here in I foresee
that the Dunstan-Banks families
will beat as one."
I am sure were going to be
most congenial," s'aid Mrs. Dunstan
apprehensively, "and do call us Dor
is and HerDert, not Mr. and Mrs.
Dunstan."
"And Stanley and Ellie." said Mrs.
Banks somewhat overeagerly.
mere was an emoarrasseo silence.
"I love your home. Doris," said
Mrs. Banks, who had by this time
sized up and appraised critically
every article of furniture in the liv
ing room.
"Thank you, Ellie. We like it. I'm
crazy to see yours. Buckley's always
talking about It."
"Another, Stan?" asked Mr. Dun
stan. Well, just to hem vou out. Herb."
said Mr. Banks. His wife moved
over beside him. "You'd better watch
your step," she muttered,
It was too late. The reletie from
supertension was more than he
could combat. He graciously helped
his friend Herb finish up the shaker.

Mrs. Dunstan. who had known It
for a long time.
She led the way toward the din
ing room. "You've got a wonderful
piace nere. Emm," said Mr. Banks,
falling In beside her.
"Doris." she said. "Won't you sit
there, Ellie. And now we want to
hear all about our new daughter."
"I'm afrlad there isn't much to
tell." said Mrs. Banks.
"Nonsense." said Mr. Banks

Predict Gov. Dewey
Will Retire for Time
New York, Dec. 29 W) The
New York Times today said it
Is likely that Gov. Thomas E
Dewey will retire tempornrily
from public life at the end of
Ills present term as governor of
New York.
Warren Moscow, political
writer for the Times, said there
are indications that Dewey will
not be a candidate for governor
in 1050 or for president in 1952,
but may come back into the
presidential race in 1956 or
I960.
