MR- BANKS GIVES
POMUS AN ASSIST
The two black limousines drove
up at quarter alter lour, their driv

The driver of the rear car got
out and stood belore Mr. Banns,

hair and a pontifical lace tnat ram

"I'm sorry, sir," he said. His voice
sounded like a benediction. "They

words that the litter leemed to hare

It was immediately opened again
bv a. small man in a brown suit.
"I'm Weisgold," he said. "Weisgold
or weisgold ana wcisgoia. me can
did men." Mr. Banks' eyes shut as
a blinding flash went off In his
face. "Thanks," said Mr. Weisgold,
"flee you In church."
"Drive." said Mr. Bank to the
saintly wheelsman, "as if the seven
. hounds of hell were on your tall."
Mr. Banks sat uneasily in the rear
of the black limousine. Besides this
lovely, calm stranger he felt small
and a bit ridiculous. Their ages
had somehow been mysteriously re
versed. Instead of being the father
of the bride he was a small boy
being taken to dancing school in an
asinine costume.
A neatly framed card on the back
of the chauffeur's partition caught
his eye. "The driver of this car
is Mr. Pomus. He is Careful
Courtec"' i Co-operative."
Their iirouress should have creat
ed at least a ripple of disturbance.
Someone should have cried, "There
goes the bride and her father."
But no one did.
They rounded a corner into Red
Brook road. Far down its leafy
vista Mr. Banks caught a glimpse

however, was the father of all mov
ing vans. A veritable freight car
of a vehicle. It was backed against
the curb and comDieteiv Diocked
the driver of this behemoth looked
down on them from his cab with
lackluster eves.
Mr. Pomus thrust his white locks
through the window. "We want
to net bv." he said trtntlv.
The driver eyed him impersonally
as one ooserves rjassers-bv in a sta
tion waiting room. "Hold yer glasses
on, gran'pa. Don't let yerself get
sweated, up.
Mr, Pomus face took on the eth
ereal look of a saint about to be
martyred. "I'm telling you to pull
that damned crate out of the way
an lemme get the hell by," he said
with unexpected firmness.
The truck driver spat through the
cab window as if to rid himself of
lives yotf

an unpleasant taste. "Yeah? You
an who?
Mn Pomus opened the door quiet
ly and half stood on the running
board. From his Hps there poured,
without warning, a torrent of elec
trio invective. Mr. Banks stared at
Mr. Pomus in dismay. Then some
thing long dormant within him was
touched Into life.

stuck his head out and joined Me.
Pomus, adding a number of words
tnat the latter seemea to nave ior-
ffotten. For the first time that day
he felt like himself. He also felt
Kay tugging at his coattaiis.
The driver descended from his
cab and approached him, his shoul
ders swaying like those of a boxer
moving into the ring. When he
reached the car he noticed Kay and
stopped. "Whyn't you tell me you
was on yer way to a weddin'? What's

He climbed back into his cab and
stepped on the starter. As they
drew ud to the euro in iront oi ai,

grouped around the sidewalk open

alighted and helped his daughter

She smiled up at him and took
his arm. "you were wonaeriui,

was waiting for them at the top
of the stone steps. "This way," he
said, and dove into a small pass
age. They were in some sort of vesti
bule that opened Into the church
through double doors that were now
closed. The bridesmaids were mere
and a few of the ushers. Mr.
Banks noted with surprise that ev
eryone seemed dressed according to
instructions.
Tommy appeared from somewhere
looking as if he were in the habit
of wearing a cutaway and a wing
collar everv afternoon. "Sorrv I
messed things up, Pops, he said.
"But I made it. Ben's going to take
Mom down now."
Everyone seemed to know Just
what was going on except Mr.
Banks, It was Incredible that such
complex details should be falling
Into place without his supervision.
He almost resented it. With a dra
matic flourish Mr. Tringle threw
open the double doors that led into
the church.
Be had m pontifical face thai radiated
ventle, levins klndneas.
He saw Ben swing into the center
aisle with his mother on his arm,
A feel in ir of elation spread through
Mr. Banks as he watched his wire s
straight, slender back. For years
she had been the focus of attention
at all social events. Now she was
being led humbly to her place in
a front pew. For once he had stolen
the show.
The re main din tr ushers fell into
line. Mr. Tringle stood beside the
leaders. Ready? he asked. No
one Rave the slightest Indication as
to wnetner ne was or not. Mr. Trin
gle pushed a small button on the
wall.
The organ music faded awav. A
hush fell over St. Oeorge's, broken
only by the rustle of several hurv-
drea people trying to lace in two di
rections at once.
This was the supreme moment
me moment Mr. Ban its had dreaded
and anticipated for so many weeks.
