- THE COVER
- The theory that a woman never gets dressed on time for a scheduled appearance is herewith refuted in the nick of time. When Mrs. Keyes, the organist, makes her entry at 10:56 o’clock she must be pessimistic about that chaos behind her, yet right at the tick of 11:00 everybody is in the choir loft except half of one chorister, and even her voice is inside. Those girls (who aren’t portrayed with exact likenesses) are friends of artist Thornton Utz’s daughters, Wendy and Merrily, in Sarasota, Fla., and since Utz has put together details of various local churches, they can all feel spiritually at home in the painting. They can also, it might be added, feel thankful that the congregation in their composite church is unable to see the left-hand side of our cover.
