Bake Sale Murder...
CONTINUED FROM PAGE C:1
and that's part of what makes her so en-
dearing.
Readers love Lucy because she is so hu-
man. She makes mistakes, she enjoys her
little triumphs, she loves her family and she
tries to improve herself. (More than a few
readers will identify with Lucy's forays into
exercising with perky "Video Debbie.") In
Bake Sale Murder , as in past mysteries, she
finds calm and comfort in the midst of her
crime-solving frenzy by seeking out nature,
noticing her surroundings and payingatten-
tion to her thoughts. Lucy issuch a nuanced
character she's always interesting.
Bake Sale Murder follows 12 Lucy Stone
mysteries that began with Mail Order
Murder (also known as Mistletoe Murder)
back in 1991; since then, Meier, who hails
from Harwich, has averaged almost a book
a year.
Meier always weaves contemporary is-
sues into her plots, this time including
teen sexuality, homelessness, poverty and
over-involved parents.
In addition to reacquainting us with
characters from previous books. Meier
brings us a whole new cast in the families
that populate Prudence Path , the new
subdivision in Lucy'sneighborhood. There's
Christine, determined to give her toddler
daughters , Apple and Pear, every advan-
tage; horse-crazy Willie, whose veterinarian
husband might not be as mild-mannered
as he appears; Bonnie, whose 6-year-old
twins are always in matching outfits and
whose husband appears oblivious to prob-
lems on the team he coaches; Mimi, whose
meddling makes her almost as unpopular
as her dour husband; and Frankie, a single
mother whose sexy outfits and sophisti-
cated teen daughter raise eyebrows among
the neighbors.
The classic old friend-newfriend conflict
puts Lucy in the middle when her longtime
friend Sue clashes with the equally efficient
Christine.
Their houses may be new and pretty but
it's clear there 's a lot going on beneath the
surface on Prudence Path,and Lucy Stone is
bent on uncovering the mysterybefore she's
next on the killer's list. Readers will relish
this yummy mystery,recipes and all.
Leslie Meier will sign her book Dec. 7 from 2 to 6 p.m.
at the Holiday Inn on Route 132 in Hyannis as part of
the Cape Cod Writers ' Center Holiday Book Fair.

sentimental favorite but
a colorful example of the
fine workmanship the
couple discovered amidst
¦
'piles and piles of fabrics
in this large space."
A jacket from Shang-
hai purchased in 1985 at
a silk factory is a perfect
example of a dress item
worn for elegant occa-
sions. Made of silk it is
decorated with a tiny hand
sewn pattern that is both
elaborate and detailed.
A heavier coat from
Katmandu is made of
yak and embellished with
hand woven trim in a
Nepalese design. "We were
in Katmandu and I was
cold, I needed something
to wear," my mother said
of this purchase.
I too am a sucker for
comfort and warmth so
have a lambs wool shawl
from Tibet on display.We
were up in Darjeeling and
takinga ride through the
region on what is known
as the toy train. We had
stopped at a tiny village
to refuel and these girls
were throwing the shawls
through the windows to
make sales. At that altitude
it was very chilly so when
one landed in my lap I
tossed some money out and
off we went, me with my
new bundle of insulation.
Hand sewn lines of design
symbolic of the area depict
small animals and religious
icons, the colors vibrant
and cheerful, the shawl re-
markably warm and comfy.
A camel head ornament
from the Thar Desert in
Rajastan, India, from the
19th century,is a perfect
example of the dressing
the people of India use
to spruce up their camels
when the annual Camel
Fair is held in November
in Pushkar.Thousands of
people turn out for the auc-
tion of camels and horses.
Decorated with small mir-
rors, seashells, exotic hand
sewn ornamentation and
colorful threads, the piece
is generally accented by
elaborate paintings on the
beast to ensure a sale.
Also on display are
puppets purchased at our
camp in Pushkar when we
attended the dusty camel
fair. Made to represent the
characters from the Rama-
yana epic that has grown
over the centuries, they
boast colorful attire, tiny
detailed hand-sewn designs
and elaborately painted
faces that look over made-
up and flashy.
Other examples of
what the show holds are a
crane decorated Japanese
presentation cover used
to disguise a gift , a sample
of work from a hill tribe in
Thailand that shows use
of fabric upon fabric, hand
sewn yokes from India for
dress-up, embroidery sam-
ples made by Bangladesh
widows, and a wedding sari
in vibrant red, the color of
happiness.

Retired teacher's philanthropy...

sional artists exposure
by scheduling weeks they
could display and sell their
works.
The job required con-
stant attention to detail:
renovations, new lighting,
painting, promotion, taste,
and above all understand-
ing and encouragement
for the artists, particularly
the shy ones, to whom she
offered advice and justified
praise, a necessity for those
who put their ideas and
dreams on canvas or paper.
Bums had the ability to
recognize talent in young
artists and in elders who
first picked up a brush in
the Senior Center. Several
of the best-known Cape
painters got going at the
Old Selectman's Gallery.
Today the works of some
hang at snazzy art galler-
ies such as Tree's Place in
Orleans.
Of Burns' work at the
gallery,Robbie Stewart,
past president of the
historical society, said, "I
never knew anyone who
was so much fun and so
well organized."
Burns' love and energy
were important to her vil-
lage, her church, and her
fellow teachers. She held
a restaurant luncheon in
Sandwich the Tuesday
following Labor Day where
this year 70 retired Need-
ham teachers residing in
the Cape area saluted their
still-teaching comrades in
a toast, thanking them in
absentia for carrying on
and keeping those pension
checks coming.
Her church was the
historic Our Lady of Hope
on Route 6A in West
Barnstable, where she was
a lector for many years,
reading Scripture lessons
from the altar at Sunday
Masses. She often ad-
libbed, adding "Alleluia,
Alleluia" as she concluded.
Rev. Monsignor John Perry,
vicar general of the Fall
River Diocese, recalled
in his homily at Burns'
funeral that because of this,
the clergy affectionately
referred to her as "Mary
Alleluia."
The funeral, as expected,
drew too many mourners
for the church to accom-
modate. More than 200
showed, crowding into
Our Lady of Victoryfor the
Mass and reception.
If ever the
^
concept of
death as a beginningwas
cause for celebration of
an individual life, this was
it. The procession of six
priests from the Cape, Bos-
ton College, and suburban
communitiesmarched
down the aisle at a brisk
clip. Rev. William McCar-
thy, founder of Father Bill's
Place for the homeless in
Quincy and Burns' dear
friend, sat with the congre-
gation in civvies, a privilege
he earned by serving as
a priest for 55 years. The
Catholics in attendance
were smiling when they ac-
cepted Communion.
When Mary Burns and
Marjorie Keary decided in
the early '80 to join forces
in retirement, Mary,an only
child, acquired a bubbling
broth in Keary's Irish-
American family.The clan
includes two writing sons
and two equally talented
daughters who have made
names for themselves on
the television news.
The four collaborated on
a eulogy for Burns, or "The
Star" as the familycalled
her.The resulting tribute
was a mix of insights, anec-
dotes, wit and warmth.
The two young women
are known in the viewing
world. Anne Thompson is
chief financial correspon-
dent of NBC News and
sister Mary Thompson is a
correspondent for CNBC.
The eulogy was read
from Burns' familiar place
at the altar at the end of
Mass. Those in attendance
learned that Burns was
unbeatable when it came to
completing the New York
Times' crossword puzzle,
the swiftest with accurate
responses to Jeopardy,
a favored patron of the
Whelden Library,and a dot-
ing "parent" to two Yellow
Labs named Muffin and
T.ili.
On the day before she
died, Burns offered assis-
tance to the nine members
of an artists' cooperative
that had been burned out
of their studio in Dennis.
Not knowing she was ill,
one of them phoned her to
ask if the Old Selectman's
Gallery,by then closed for
the cold-weather season,
could reopen until Christ-
mastime so the artists
might have a place to show
and sell their work. With
a phone call to Town Hall,
Burns resolved the ques-
tion in their favor.
In keepingwith her
character, Mary Alleluia
planned every detail of her
own funeral except the
eulogy,including the music
that Beverly Donheiser
sang beautifully.Her final
resting place will be in
Mosswood Cemetery in
Cotuit. Alleluia, Alleluia.
