WOMEN Are BROOKLYN EAGLE, SEPT. 16, 1949 19 -Living in Brooklyn The Book Man On Montague St. By MARGARET MARA Margaret Mara "People are always looking for something worth $100 that they can buy for a dime," said Julius DeWitt Williams, proprietor of the bookstore in the basement of the Montague St. Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.

Mr. Williams sells second-hand books as well as new books and he is a pioneer in selling pocket books. "They (presumably the publishers) tell me that I sell more pocket books than any dealer in the country, even more than Brentano's," he declared. Williams' bookstore, with the redpainted bookshelves on the sidewalk, is known to many thousands of Brooklynites. It has occupied the same premises for 20 years and as far as is known is the only private business housed in a Public Library in New York.

But this unusual situation of free lending of books upstairs and books for sale downstairs will come to an end, no doubt, before Center include replacement of Library with a million-dollar lieved Mr. Williams, that his plan. Mr. Williams, through the years, purchased many libraries of old Heights families settling estates, and rare and valuable volumes have been discovered on his bookshelves. Selecting a Career Grandson of a shipcaulker who 1 had a shop at the foot of Montague Julius Williams went into book buying and sellling quite by accident.

He had been a worker with, builders and contractors decided it was not for him. One day he opened a classified telephone directory looking for ideas for a new venture and came upon "Books." His decision was made. "I always liked books and I have been a happy man," he said. "The wise man is the one who is doing work that he loves." a Pocket Book Boom Pocket books, those smallsized reprints, are the the 82-year-old Montague St. new edifice.

It is unlikely, bebookstore will be included in the thing that has happened in book publishing, he believes. "They are proven books. Flops don't get reprinted," observed Mr. Williams. Among current books "The Rage to Live," by John O'Hara, is his best seller, but in the pocket books everything goesphilosophy, religion, arts and "How to Thin." Pilferers don't give Mr.

Williams much trouble, he admitted. This middle aged spectacled man sits his window below the street level and keeps an eye on his sidewalk book rack. He says he loses about two pocket books a day.

Mary Haworth's Mail Papa Fears for 'Swears'; Child Wife to in DEAR MARY HAWORTH-My daughter for years old and I don't want her to use swear words or naughty words, but my husband does use such language in her presence. to Since before her birth I have implored him never to use such language within earshot of her, and I feel it in is bad enough for him to talk that way around me but worse to set his child such an example. But now that I have tried every form of persuasion without success I am asking what I should do when Cissy begins using his "bad" words? How can I teach her it is right for daddy but wrong for her? If I try to instill that idea my heart won't be Mary Haworth in it, but surely I mustn't teach her that her father is wrong. Am I silly to let all this bother me, since almost every one swears these days? Shall I close my ears to it when Cissy starts? I feel certain that when she does start it won't her presence.

Golden celery from this State is more plentiful resulting in a sharp drop in wholesale prices. Corn is still about in moderate supply and of good quality. Eggplant is plentiful so should be retailing at bargain prices.

Iceberg lettuce is still on the scarce side but Big Boston and Romaine from nearby farms are in good supply at moderate prices. With a good supply of onions, peppers of all tyes, and a fair supply of cucumbers (although these are variable in quality) you may want to make some pickles as well as to use them in salads and for recipes. cure him, either.

A. of son of at Secretary Not Paid to Laugh at Boss' Jokes but She Really Enjoys Them By ELIZABETH LIPS Pert Gloria Dulchin, brighteyed young secretary to radio and television comic Robert Q. Lewis, recommends her job as a sure-fire way to "get a lot of laughs out of life." The brown-haired secretary, who will cast her first vote this Fall, will tell one and all who might be interested that she has realized "my life's ambition." In her office in the CBS building the other day, Gloria confided how she had wanted to be a personal secretary ever since she visited her father's office at the age of four. "Being a personal secretary is wonderful," she said, entary to Robert Q. Lewis is even thusiastically.

"But being secre-) more wonderful." Gloria happens to be the CBS humorist's No. 1 fan. Opening the thousand- odd fan letters the be-spectacled comic gets per day is chore to the young secretary at all. "Why, I wrote to him myself when I was a student at Fort Hamilton High," she said.

DAVIS Society Editor Should you have happened into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Christian F. Wolfe at 96 Winthrop St. you would have been impressed by the sight that greeted your eyes.

A large porch and dining room were brilliantly adorned with flowers- a surprisingly large display considering the hot and dry Summer. This was the setting of an informal flower show of the Central Garden Club of Brooklyn: The arrangeAments were featured in the living room. As Mr. Wolfe is chairman of horticulture the accent was on plants and flowers grown by the exhibitors. The committee, Mr.

and Mrs. Wolfe and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Booke, was well supported by the members of the club. Mrs.

John Squires, Miss Mary Mackey and John Struse had the delightful job, if not sometimes difficult one, of judging the show. THERE WERE FOUR CLASSES: "My Choice," for novices only; "Interpretive Composition," to be captioned by exhibitor (ribbon winners only); "Free for All," and "Horticulture," plants or flowers grown by exhibitor. "My Choice" was won by Mrs. William Germain for her arrangements of yellow chrysanthemum pompons; "Interpretive Composition," by Mrs. Dunham Jones for a composi- SECRETARY GLORIA Robert Q.

Mrs. Wolfe's miniature greenhouse won good deal of complimentary comment as well as a gold seal.

The Wolfes had obviously eaten the fruit and planted the seeds in this miniature greenhouse with a double enjoyment. Mrs. Wolfe also received a gold seal for her display of sunflowers in a Swedish vase framed by a shadow box, after the style of the Dutch artist Van Gogh. She also received an award for her fern collection which included Bermuda fern and the rare Hartford fern. MISS ALFARATTA HALE, president of the club, received a seal for her interesting tion of evergreens from Maine.

Mrs. Booke collecalso received a gold seal for her coleus and the guests were much interested in her exhibit of the Passion Flower vine, which was awarded a tricolor seal. Among the other exhibitors were Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cummings, Mrs.

Christian Weaver, Mrs. John P. Kaminska, Miss Dorothy Duncan, Miss Amanda Edson and Miss Edna Blatchford. and Mrs. Louis Dulchin, graduated from Fort Hamilton in 1946.

And if sometime she comes home to say, "But little Sally down the street says so-and-so, and I heard her mother say it, too, just like her daddy does," then you may take this stand: "Well, I'm sorry about Sally and her mama; I guess nobody ever taught them better, like our mamas did us." So much for how to keep Cissy's vocabulary reasonably pure despite her father's noncooperative attitude. Actually your apprehension is morbidly excessive, and due I think to the fact that you are personally outraged and mortified by your husband's disregard of your sensibilities. In talking so much of what his example will do to his child-and strongly insisting that there's no antidote for it-you are trying with almost hysterical vehemence to make him feel "guilty" about his obstinate refusal to oblige your wishes.
