(Continued from Page 12) held to be a neat layer in the mind of every man, covered up but mea- surable as is the hard pan in my garden. It makes one ponder on the conscious, and The Human Mind, a phrase so often heard. One wonders if Einstein arrived at his conclusions in such fashion, or if he arrived at his theory through some intuitive process,. subcon- sciously based on his already vast knowledge of physics, and then spent much of the rest of his life proving step by step what he knew was true; Dostoievsky may have conceived his characters in much the same fashion, and so knew them as psychologist may never know man; and is there such a thing as a "The Human Mind." One wishes at times the psy- chologist, the physician, the so- ciologist had less in common with the artist, for all are too often certain of the pattern; doubt to- day seems only for the man who works in the realm of the physi- cal sciences; they torment them- selves with years of sweaty- handed doubt wondering if this is indeed the best pattern for an airplane wing, or the most effi- cient of all possible engines, while the young pediatrician can tell us exactly how, and with no doubt, a baby should be reared. There is no doubt in Malcolm Cowley's House, and Miss Grau may never get there; she may not even get a number, for Faulkner numbered only five artists in a discussion down at Mississippi University and which was I believe, later picked up by the New York Times, and anyway this matter of Art is a thing I cannot settle. I can't even say who is good and who is bad; most Southern Writ- ing, like that elsewhere, has been written in honest sincerity; some of it seems consciously cute, and some most determinedly esoteric; Faulkner, publication hungry in his lean years, running to New York, hunting out Important People, showing manuscripts to friends, shows in his work at times symptoms of having written with an audience in his mind, in his case not to please, but to shock and so attract attention, and other times he seems consciously good and sweet as in his Saturday Eve- ning Post stories, but in the main all of it reflects the currents of the world. The south, although it has won every conceivable prize and honor, could use some writers, story tell- ers such as Miss Grau show prom- ise of being. The south is such a rich and varied land, Tennessee alone has known every conceivable pattern of thought from a Com- munist plot in the 1740's through early anti-slavery, anti Know Nothing, anti Ku Klux Klan, a vote against Secession, at least one general who died fighting for the South but not believing in slavery and so on through the years. It is hard to think of one thing the south was not, unless it be complete and sweet agreement. Continued from Page 11) and raw wood is most unattractive. Painting the bricks is recom- menlded (enamel preferred, but not necessary) and varnishing the wood (two coats). Painting the wood should be discouraged. Some observed color schemes have been white with maple, which Mozart Birthday (Continued from Page 5) express the ultimate of jubilance. As if to point out the fact that the best music is not always high fidelity, there is a two record set of Mozart violin and piano so- natas on Decca, played by Lili Kraus and Szymon Goldberg. The usually called,. was issued in the prehistoric 30's on Parlophone records by the Mozart Chamber Music Society. The six sonatas on it serve as fine examples of ensemble playing, and no recent attempts, least of all the Schneid- er-Kirkpatrick duo (the latter on the harpsichord) have measured up to their accomplishment. PIS should be enough for a whole year, not including the Marriage of Figaro and the Re- quiem Mass - and with careful shopping, it wouldn't be too ex- haustive an economic venture. And it's for a lifetime of pleasure. gives a striking contrast, and bright red with a clear finish on the wood. This is a very economical book- case, for paint and varnish are cheap, and the money saved usu- ally more than offsets the time you spend in labor at whatever you're worth per hour. A six-foot case can be built for about six dollars plus labor. Another suggestion is to use some imagination in building it, rather than merely piling bricks on boards and vice versa. An H- design, for instance, can be very attractive. 2. Attractive and sturdy desks and typewriting tables can be built of plywood and wrought iron legs. This combination will save you a considerable sum, although it leaves you without drawers in which to stash your savings. 3. Contact all relatives and friends for furniture they no long- er need or which you can convince them they need less than you. Don't be choosy unless you want things to match. Smaller articles, such as dishes and cooking ware, can often be accumulated this way. You might accept non- matching furniture for a planned decor if you are, willing to sand it down before refinishing. A considerable amount of time is also required for sanding new wood for bookcases, desks and other items. An electric sander, however, may be rented from a paint store, and will make your toil more entertaining, even if not noticeably shorter.

HUNDREDS OF BIRTHDAY-BARGAIN SPECIALS But Joy has also gained a pain- ful perception for which her mother's mind would be incapable of comprehending: the knowledge that she who lives and is not loved is really a phantom in the hinter- land of a darkened, lonely world. Aphorisms may add glitter to the path of the aged, and they may tend to soothe the passing hunger of the hopeless, but they will not allay the passions of the young. Joy, unlike her mother, would never try to feed the heart with bread. ON THE offchance that fiction, may sometimes be stranger than truth we would say that A Good Man Is Hard To Find is well worth the time required for read- ing. It has the occasional earthly eloquence of Erskine Caldwell, plus art; together with some of the perception of Faulkner, plus vision. That, indeed, is one of the most obvious facets of this young lady's talent. One feels Tobacco Road has disappeared, and that the Yokna- patawha legend is always some- thing of the past.And the reader --especially a reader who really knows the South - will always wonder on just which particular avenue or back alley of heaven or hell he might actually come face to face with a Faulkner character. O'Connor's fabricated models have gained authenticity through the validity of their author's regional creation -- her characters might have been here yesterday, but the reader cannot avoid the sneaking suspicion that, somehow, he might meet them on a twisting Georgia road tomorrow. Miss O'Connor has the brilliant knack of proselytizing a woman's intuition and perspective into a man's words and jotting them down on paper. And we predict that someday Dixie will be proud of this young and gifted -though highly caustic - daughter. The O'Connor lass is a tangy persim- mon. But it won't be the first time Dixie has starred in the role of proud mother with a puckered mouth. Poor, dear,- dear Dixie !
